TSLA

IDrinkSulfuricAcid

Institutional buying is the biggest reason why CVNA has managed to sustain these prices. Once mass profit taking and de-risking begins, there won't be many buyers to counteract it. I feel like once downward momentum starts, it won't stop for a good while. Institutions hold shares of almost every non-penny stock you can think of. My understanding is that it doesn't really amount to much if they aren't actively buying. But of course, meme stocks are irrational, so this could also very well ''become another TSLA''.

Google says Waymo will become significant as part of its financials in 2026 - 2027. They are currently scaling by adding the service in many new cities, including NYC. UBER will definitely suffer when Waymo gets here. It will get even worse when TSLA and others expand on self driving for hire. Not to mention flying taxis and personal vehicles that look like drones, which could be here before 2030.

Gamma max on TSLA is $504. There’s a big pile of call gamma at the $500 strike, the majority of which is for Dec. 26th. Looking at the OI a lot of put positions have been opening for the next two expirations, and not a lot of call positions.

CurvedTVGreen8788

Agreed. Uber is currently trading at a P/E ratio just a hair over 10 which makes me jump on the undervalued bandwagon. For perspective, TSLA is trading at a P/E ratio of 321, and the SP500 index P/E ratio is at 28.

What the heck is this? Did AI go back in time to when TSLA was trading at $300?

You should try to improve your written English for clarity, but from what I understand you're mixing up how NSOs are taxed with how capital gains work after **exercise** (some things are just plain wrong, there's no such a thing as "agreed upon exercise date" for tax purposes, and it's exercise, not excise, which is an entirely different thing). When Musk exercises an option, he is taxed on (FMV at exercise – Strike price), with the strike price for these options being $23.34. And he's taxed on **ordinary income, not capital gains**. TSLA is now at $480, so he's gonna be taxed at $480 − $23.34 = $456.66 per share, whenever he decides to exercise. He'll be taxed 37% ordinary income tax, plus 1.45% Medicare + 0.9% Medicare surcharge; plus the 13.3% top tax rate in California for whatever period of time he still lived there. He'll have to pay a ginormous amount of money on income tax once he exercises. Then only after exercise capital gains begin. He won't be able to sell for 5 years; then once he sells them, he'll pay a 20% rate on the gains - difference between the selling price at that point and the $480 price at exercise. To clarify, capital gains do not apply to the increase from $23.34 to the market price at exercise, only to gains after exercise. The difference from the strike price to the market price at exercise is tax as ordinary income. So yeah, this decision will create a lot of extra tax revenue. This value would be taxed at lower rates if it stayed on TSLA and eventually taxed as capital gains as shareholders realized it.

TSLA is where GOOG was in 2015.. Close to direct quote.. Might even be flattering

I also did that with TSLA…. and UPST (although I sold at a price higher than now, so that makes me feel better) not making the same mistake with RKLB and PL

Centigonal

NVDA and TSLA will have to pull some rabbits out of hats over the next few years to justify their valuations. The others just have to not mess up too bad and hope that the tech sector continues to dominate global economic growth.

No_Hour6830

To be honest with you, I think the hive mind actually has some utility. You should probably ignore one offs, and ignore actual penny stocks, but I think redditors have a strong track record with ones that have become hugely popular. RKLB, ASTS and PLTR are some recent examples. It's a long time ago, but TSLA was every redditor's favorite stock ten years ago. HIMS has slipped recently but that was a big one. AMD. I'm definitely blanking on a lot of them and of course there are losers but on balance when you start seeing a stock popping up everywhere, it could be worth taking a look.

Glum-Wealth-6171

TSLA will be gone unless musk manages to actually deliver on his outlandish promises of robotics and automation. The inherent value of the company is not in its ev business but in what it promises to the future of the robots and FSD. Investors are betting on Musk being able to pull all this off. I'm doubtful. But hey.. I'm also just a poor pleb.

EnsilZah

I was in a similar situation with TSLA a few years back. The point I eventually decided to sell at was when I could sell 2/3 and stop working, and keep 1/3 in play. And by the way, there are ways to hold SpaceX more directly if you're an accredited investor.

RealWooWhee

Try make a new parameter, like % increase in mentions compared to yesterday/last week/month, that’s how you’ll really see anything meaningful. Otherwise you’ll just get SPY, NVDA QQQ TSLA etc.

Apost8Joe

The circular deals propping up these valuations and ridiculously leveraged companies like OpenAI and Coreweave aren't unsimilar to "shell corporations" - that magical revenue isn't showing up, regardless if they're named Raptor or not. Of course ORCL isn't going bankrupt, but it drops 40% in 90 days, before the real financial damage even starts showing up. But I bet TSLA performs an Enron before this is over.

Kranoath

TSLA will be a 100 trillion company within 15 years.

Odd-Block-2998

Weekend thought: Elon may already own this whole world. Yesterday file release fiasco means Elon has succeeded in taking over the party. With billions and soon trillions, he can swap in puppet presidents (from both parties to make it less obvious). Controlling US means controlling the world, so my take is start loading up on TSLA calls and definitely buy MARS (SpaceX ticker) next year.

LordFaquaad

Probably to fund rhe business and compete with Tesla robotaxi / other incoming players. If TSLA makes their camera setup work efficiently enough and the "crashes" are within an acceptable regulatory threshold, it will essentially wipe Waymo. Waymos biggest disadvantage isnt the cost but the mapping part which takes alot of time and capital. This should help fund it

Cool_Business_5396

TSLA

Odd-Block-2998

I don't think so. We are United States of Musk for next 40 years since some file release fiasco yesterday. Tesla is winning the whole global autonomous driving market. Elon will switch between multiple president puppets for next few decades. Waymo and other autonomous driving companies are completely cooked. TSLA $7,500 GOOG $120 UBER $10

People learn nothing and it will have to bust, the destiny of all market bubbles is to bust. We just dont know when. People bring up [pets.com](http://pets.com) but they were a very small company, like $500mil at the time. Now there's $20B quantum companies with zero revenue. Yes there's good companies involved now that make a lot of money, but there were decent companies in 2000 too, MSFT, INTC, ORCL, CSCO, Amazon, Sun Micro, etc. This time its all revolved around who can spend the most on a race to the bottom. ChatGPT only makes $12B rev per year atm so next year all these chatbots will start to be plastered with ads to show rev growth and the services will probably become awful. Users will be pissed and maybe stop using them altogether. Put in the mix of this bubble Crypto, and other massive bubbles like TSLA, PLTR and all the other software trading at 20-100xs revenue. Cisco and AOL traded at 20xs sales at their peak. PLTR is 100xs sales. Its unsustainable.

Alert_Weird6893

yea. I was so confused why Panasonic, who makes batteries for Tesla, has been trading at or around $10. But then I realized that Panasonic is huge company and batteries is just one thing that they do. But QS will moon if they get a deal with TSLA.

RandomRedditor5689

To be fair, TSLA is non div paying (for now anyway). The american exercise will be premium is quite low ... are you just looking to save a little bit on that extra risk premium or something else?

jw30m

The only European-style options traded in the US are CBOE Index options, that I'm aware of. If you're wanting $TSLA, the closest you'd get is the CBOE Magnificent 10: https://www.cboe.com/tradable-products/mag-10/mgtn-options It's just 10% $TSLA, but that's as close as anything in the US to your ask.

AlohaTrader

None, $TSLA currently only has weekly options as there isn't enough volume for daily options.

Just_Training_2601

About a year from now there will not be near as many comments on these space stocks and other speculative AI stocks. Just my opinion that there will be a hiccup in this market before the end of next year. The PE is too high, too much hype and not enough earnings. PLTR and TSLA are priced for perfection. Some of these hyped stocks remind me of back in 1999 when I bought and sold BLDP multiple times. Good thing I didn't hold on too long! I am sure there will be many folks that will have some negative remarks on this post, but I am a follower of Buffet, he has been selling stocks and so have I. The only difference is that I have a decent sized portfolio of gold stocks. Recently sold covered calls because I think even gold is over bought. AI is so overblown, I can always tell by the number of emails I get talking about AI. The same thing happened when marijuana stocks were the hot thing, and many years ago when the internet would change the world. Of course the internet did change many things but even Microsoft and Oracle took a big hit. I would not touch any of the MAG 7 or SPY at the current prices. If you are young I would DCA into this market, but at a slow pace! It has been too long since 2000, too many folks think this time will be different, and also too many were not old enough to be invested in the market. Remember the lessons of the past!!

KindlyTie6602

I also hate the stock but I never buy options on TSLA. But I do sell uncovered calls a few month out after it has a big run up and then sell at 30%-40% profit. May do it again but it's not time yet. Everytime I think it can't go higher I wait a week because it always continues beyond rationality.

gatovision

The short squeeze was last week (hopefully). Now interest will start to die off. Bulls got everything they ever wanted with this stock, now what would be the reason to hold at $100B valuation when KMX is $5B and makes more money? The bull case and lunatics like Cramer can go on about how every used car will now be bought on Carvana but they still have so many operating costs to do that, and most likely they’re lying by using DriveTime to pad numbers. So how far can WS take these insane valuations and continue the pyramid on TSLA, CVNA, APP, PLTR and others? If this market goes bear next year these stocks are in trouble.

UltraviolentLemur

The only point at which TSLA will start actually declining by any significant amount is *IF* institutional investors start calling in loans, however this would likely need to be applied to *all* of his enterprises, owing to the manner in which Musk shovels money from his profitable companies (SpaceX, StarLink) to others (xAI, X, etc). Until then, I wouldn't touch a short with a twenty foot pole and *your* bag, let alone my own, unless it's a single day inverse (and honestly, only that as a hedge, because even though TSLA defies reality, it still drags the market down every time another deep well of unreality is exposed).

Me-Regarded

I hate that stock almost as much as TSLA.

You mean you still care about TSLA’s auto biz? lol

Flat_Pomegranate_164

Holy smokes, the saga finally has a season finale! 🤯 Love him or hate him, you gotta admit it feels good to finally clear that massive dark cloud hanging over the stock. I bet the only people crying right now are the lawyers who just lost their infinite money glitch. 😂 Now everyone can get back to actually focusing on the cars and robots instead of boring courtrooms. If you’ve been holding TSLA through all this drama, go treat yourself to a nice dinner tonight—you earned it! 🍕🚀

Everyone told me to sell my TSLA shares back in January 2023 when it dipped down to ~ $108. I didn’t ofc and jokes on them. At the very least the stock can 5x over the next 5-10 years.

AdCritical5383

TSLA is the Katy Perry of stonks. Instead of big ol’ tiddies as the main source of gravity, it’s a financial suicide pact signed by shareholders back during the big rona. Don’t think about this too hard. Just remember the following: >!🫲tiddies🫱!<

rain168

RIVN 7x to $140 which is still only 10% of TSLA market cap

Kranoath

I got into TSLA at $10 per share and have seen millions of haters lose their money. The poor stay poor.

cs_cast_away_boi

Investors? TSLA is a vehicle to park cash. The more "investors" see the potential bubble and short, the more MMs will raise the stock value. Then once they close the short, the MMs can dump. RINSE AND REPEAT. THIS STOCK IS A FINANCIAL VEHICLE FOR THE RICH. *this is not financial advice*

poopypantstwentytree

The TSLA hate is hilarious. Thanks for making my night guys. Bears sounds smart, bulls make money. Thanks TSLA for changing my life

Leading_World_3813

It’s a great distinction between short-term mechanics and long-term incentives. Zero-Gamma is the physics of the day and what dictates the intraday vibrations and rapid hedging moves that 0DTE traders thrive on. Max Pain is the gravity of the week and it represents the destination MMs want to reach by Friday's close to minimize payouts. If I’m scalping the next 30 minutes, I follow the Gamma; if I’m positioning for the weekly finish, I keep an eye on Max Pain. Agreed on “More so on lower cap/lower share price stocks that are option-liquid.” Smaller stocks, MM hedging can move the entire needle, whereas in a mega-cap like TSLA, it takes a massive GEX Road event to counteract the organic buying and selling.

No-Knowledge2788

same, down about 40%. But seeing TSLA's share price close to $500 makes me want to buy more against.

ThatGuyCalledEric

Saw the recent Epstein files, its all redacted and I thought my phone was taking a long time loading them. Anyways SPY to 700 and TSLA and MSTR to 0 by EOW

Not for my poorly timed TSLA calls

auggiewest19

Again, you go ahead and buy TSLA here

Worth-Emotion

Majority of investors did the same thing. Definitely hard to sleep after that. I will have nightmares about NVDA, TSLA, RKLB, and GOOG. After those tough lessons, I've learned to hold and buy when the fear index hits the max. But when people are in fear. Also the market is rigged to shake out weak hands.

Leading_World_3813

You’re right! It’s a static and simple OI-based calculation. Zero-Gamma pivot is a much better magnetic level. TSLA is just too big for MMs to force a $60 drop just to hit a theoretical pin. As you said, Gamma hedging and the CPI rally (I missed this one) were clearly the ones in the driver's seat today.

Otherwise-Coyote6950

No, it's not and if anything people will sell other stocks they own to invest in Space X, not Tesla. I own Tesla since 2018 and I will never sell it...people on here can keep hating on Tesla and say it's a car company (LMAO), Elon is a Nazi or whatever other bullshit....in reality humanoid robots alone will be worth trillions for Tesla once they fully scale up. Robotaxi will be another massive market. Then batteries, solar and EV. Space X and Tesla will have synergies...Elon mentioned it already on interviews he gave. He wants to have Optimus robots working on building bases on the Moon and Mars and cities to start colonizations...millions of them will be used off world in the long term...not to mention that we pretty much all will own one in 10 years. Companies too...the market TAM is huge. So, how am I going to buy Space X? Easy, I will sell other stocks I own but never TSLA...and everybody who is a bull in TSLA will do exactly the same. I know that I wasted my time to write this comment on here because I don't like to write a serious comment about Tesla on Reddit which is full of radical Elon Musk haters, so I already know this comment will be downvoted massively but I don't care...if you think Space X IPO will compel Tesla investors to sell, you are wrong as bears have been wrong about Tesla since the very beginning.

Jammer250

420 max pain that most, if not all, retail services spit out does not consider StDev, Min OI considerations, IV-adjusted or DTE-adjusted calcs, especially on a volatile stock like TSLA. More realistic max pain was closer to 470 for this week, which is fairly in line where price finished. Wouldn’t put much weight on max pain generally, even on quad-witching, for large cap stocks. You’ll see much more of an effect from the max pain gravity on smaller/mid caps that have active options markets.

Mommy_Yummy

No. TSLA to $5T SPCX to $6.5T by 2030.

Mobile-Bar7732

It has nothing to do with time in the market.  The company financials don't backup the share price. I wouldn’t be surprised if the "worlds richest man" was paying automated traders to artificially pump TSLA stock price.

Educational_Poet_421

2026 will be huge for TSLA imo

Low-Win-6691

Not sure how Musk’s “win” on the old pay package can be anything but negative for TSLA. He’s already “retained”

Suitable_Reality_138

$RDDT more $TSLA, $WLDN and more $AG. Great composite ratings, except $TSLA but robotics theme story is strong enough that it’ll likely bring that up.

auggiewest19

Not true. These two trade completely differently. Completely different animals. What you have with RIVN lately is shorts letting up and institutions / bigger players going long. Legit buying. Regards like OP and me who bought while in the tank and held are right today. I’m continuing holding. I think RIVN may actually turn out to be what TSLA always said they were going to do with the autonomy stuff, and they’re going to license it. Also the new model at a reasonable price range is highly anticipated. I will see many driving around my suburban neighborhood soon enough.

Confident_Bee1447

Fuck TSLA. Thanks, that’s it

InquisitorCOC

When he exercises these options at today's prices, he will have to pay this much in taxes: >304M shares at $23.34 exercise price, he will owe taxes on the spread. With $TSLA at $481.20, that's ~$139B in taxable income. Federal taxes: ~37% income + 2.35% Medicare = **~$55B total**

InIce1234

What’s even funnier is that a little over 7 years ago, I was a working moron, but now, thanks to TSLA among othes, I never have to work again. hehe hehe Think about that.

thinkneo

Appreciate the specific levels - makes it easy to check back in January and see what hit. GOOG and META look like the cleaner setups to me. TSLA at 490 is a coin flip.

ActuallyMy

TSLA shareholders wanted to be diluted and they got it! Congrats! 

MrStealYoBeef

You just don't get it and you never really will. You keep parroting around this idea that we just make up something new to explain away why Tesla is great, but I can tell you confidently that Tesla has earned its market cap by being so much more than just a car company. It doesn't just sell cars. It doesn't just sell batteries. It doesn't just sell solar. It's so much more than just a company. In this day and age, they are boldly doing something other companies only dare to dabble in. Tesla isn't just selling cars and batteries. Tesla is the first scam company and they sell fraud. TSLA $2000 EOY
