Didn't they just increase it by $1000 for March 1? At least I think I saw that in February listed on the build page.

Most everything is green today that's why TSLA is up.

was buying up Thursday and Friday as I was liking the level. Would love 150's, but based off of technicals, thats too low at the moment in my opinion. Maybe next month if market still thinks its a seller or FED dumps this market on Wednesday.

TSLA heavily sold off since end of December it was bound to have a 5% day eventually.

We will likely see sub $150 after Q1 deliveries are announced.

There is usually a catalyst of some sort to make a stock move. Its not moving 5% today based off of nothing. Good amount of news all throughout the weekend for Tesla that could prompt people to jump in. I liked it last week cause it hit my level and didnt break it at all. The gap up today confirmed what has happened twice before since July 2023. And im not buying anything heavy till after the fed talks.

Anything is possible after an Earnings report.

Could be, stock astrology is not my strong point. But the catalysts you mentioned didn't happen overnight they were there already.

.Yup! If people follow them closely, its not new news. But majority of people dont or wont put those things together and will just read the headlines. Plus technicals/chart reading, which for my investing style works best for me.

That sweet subscription money is going to start flowing into Tesla as more automakers gain access to the network. If I had to fast charge often, I'd happily pay the $13 a month for Tesla supercharging rates vs. the $4 a month for preferred EA rates

I just really love Tesla and dumped a bunch of money in it. So far it's worked....I paid of my Y last year a few months after selling from a block I had purchased the previous year

As frustrated as I sometimes get with Musk, I've learned to never bet against him

Congratulations! That's actually really amazing to have a car 100% paid for based off the stocks you bought and sold! Yea, he is a character for sure! I try to look past all his silliness which is hard to do. But what you are doing is working for you, so thats all that matters.


And Allen, yea Sub revenue is gonna be lovely for them. Would love to see if they separate that out on future Earnings calls (Tesla Supercharger rev vs. 3rd party Supercharger Rev). I believe they have Supercharger revenue lumped into "other revenue" or something if I recall correctly.

i believe tesla loses money on superchargers today. first, the land and hardware must have cost billions, but they don't make the electricity either, although the wholesale rate probably gives them margin there... but as the network gets more built out it could become a giant source of revenue and profit.

There is no way for you to know this Tesla has never broken down costs for superchargers closest you will get is Tesla energy which is only a part of it.
