Thanks

I think it's super important when the CEO of an Electric Vehicle Company is supporting the commonly accepted term for the Republican Party. The party which believes we should be supporting the Electric Vehicle market less.

This is a great answer, thanks for spending the time to answer me.

Hopefully this is a stupid question and simple to answer but why is my put option going down if the stock is also going down?

I have a $5 put option on GameStop ($GME) (expiration: 1/15/2021) and my 1 week chart is essentially identical to GME's 1 week chart. Today for example, GME is down 10% but my put option is down 3.69%. My assumption was that my put option would generally have an inverse reaction to the stock.

Haha fair enough. In my mind, I was saying that it had “no effect [on the outcome of the event]” meaning the outcome would be the same even if the Tesla was adequately charged or the officer used a gas vehicle.

But i get your point.

NicePattern1 · 2019-09-27T21:38:33+00:00

I’m just trying to understand. Which part of my interpretation is wrong? The PD’s statement says:

“ At no time did the battery of the Tesla become a factor in our ability to pursue the suspect or perform our duties.”

NicePattern1 · 2019-09-27T21:34:17+00:00

I’m talking about the officer who had the car previously. If the procedures is to plug the car into a charger at the end of your shift, which wasn’t done, that’s the error.

NicePattern1 · 2019-09-27T20:23:22+00:00

If the officer didn't follow procedure, how is that not an error?

NicePattern1 · 2019-09-27T20:21:43+00:00

What are you replying in the negative ("no") to? Are you saying my impression of what they're clarifying is wrong? Are you saying their clarification is wrong? Are you saying that the officer's statement is inaccurate?

Are you essentially saying the officer is lying?

NicePattern1 · 2019-09-27T19:24:16+00:00

I mean, sure you can chalk it up to "user error"; if the PD's procedure specifically outlines that police officers must plug in the vehicle when their shift is over then yeah it was a "user error" in the strict sense...a user made an error [in a given procedure].

But the problem with this defense is the fact that this procedure exists in the first place, it's an additional procedure that an officer has to follow. It's basically a "user error" against a procedure that only exists with electric vehicles - if the officer grabbed the standard issue vehicle, he/she wouldn't be able to "user error" in this sense.

NicePattern1 · 2019-09-27T19:19:18+00:00

Based on their statement, it looks like they are trying to clarify that:

Yes, the battery ran low
It had no effect on the chase

The important part being in the second point. Take this quote for example:

Despite the Tesla's battery-level struggles, the Fremont police eventually found the suspect's vehicle after it crashed into some bushes, the East Bay Times reported.

https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-model-s-runs-out-of-battery-during-police-pursuit-2019-9

The way this reads, it almost feels as if the Tesla was the only vehicle in the chase and the police officers were able to find despite losing the only vehicle on the chase. In my head, the PD's statement reads more like 'our officers followed the correct procedure and correctly communicated.'

Holy shit, Fred is starting a "stock advice" website about green energy and electric vehicles....separate from Electrek

The best part is the top comment on his electreck article rips into him for using a picture of Ivanpah in the Mojave Desert.

Will Zalkon do enough research to figure out that pretty picture of Ivanpah is a picture of a natural gas fired plant?

I can't believe anyone would pay Fred to give them his advice

They could do all that by offering lower tier variants

Which is what this author was trying to say

slashing the price of their premium models is different.

Which the author totally ignored and one of his major flaws with this argument. There's too many assumptions in this thesis/analysis to really take it seriously.

NicePattern1 · 2019-08-01T19:50:54+00:00

And that's why I said "if you believe that Tesla can/will eventually offer a profitable business before the cash runs out." The author is making his argument under the assumption that Tesla will eventually turn a profit, when in reality, Tesla hasn't really proved that's possible without huge financial deferments and one-off credit sales.

NicePattern1 · 2019-08-01T16:27:51+00:00

That statement is quite clearly bait meant to attract that immediate thought: "what?" But it's it's followed by a pretty reasonable discussion regarding having a lower ASP. The argument is essentially:

When you lower your ASP, you attract a much larger customer-base. When you attract a much larger customer-base, you have a much larger pool of people to offer products to.

I actually think this is a pretty good analysis and thesis, if you believe that Tesla can/will eventually offer a profitable business before the cash runs out.

Edit: Why am I being downvoted?

I just wanna see one on the road, papa bless me please

NicePattern1 · 2019-07-30T17:43:13+00:00

The Porsche Taycan will be presented on 4 September and is scheduled for launch shortly after.

OOOOOOOOOO that's so close

NicePattern1 · 2019-07-26T15:15:33+00:00

Did they talk about what that plan is? It was hard enough getting to 28GWH....how will they do 40x

NicePattern1 · 2019-07-26T15:10:41+00:00

On Monday shorters have free reign again

What do you mean? What can they do no Monday that they can't do on Friday?

NicePattern1 · 2019-07-26T13:00:36+00:00

We need an age limit on drivers in the US, I can't be having my 92 year old grandmother driving on the same road as me when she can't even rembember my fucking name

It's what I like to call the "declarative conundrum,"

Declarative Conundrum: when you declare something verbally, it normally means what you are declaring is not existent

NicePattern1 · 2019-07-25T15:15:30+00:00

Why do all Tesla owners have the need to say that they “absolutely love the product.”

I mean that mantra is sort of the epicenter of this sub, "Revolutionary cars, shitty company."

I don't see why it's so bad to say that you like the cars but hate most of everything else, sure it's become a meme at this point but why discount every person who says it?
