"I don't know. I was asking in case someone knew. I know various disconnected details. " I certianly won't qualify as a tech source. There is a Big short interest which was fundamentally based on Elon not staying on track. Not a bad play really, stock seemed priced to perfection. Lots of tech glitches, production problems and miscalculations could have happened since they went public. Other then the first run coming up a few hundred cars short, Elon has done what he said he would do. Each time TSLA came on track with something, the shorts got bigger. It will be interesting to see if TSLA even gets off the hard to borrow list. That said, would not be surprised to see a secondary within the next six months for starting up the X. Way cool gull wings, looks like only needs a couple inches clearance on the sides. "The stock chart looks mighty good from a lt basis given its large ratio of price fluctuations to normalized slope" Not a chart guy I'll take your word for it. I started with TSLA chatting with a couple engineers and discussing "range". No one in the market had the range even on the drawing board, other than Fisker. Fiskers financials were pretty ugly though. I liked the off the shelf aspect of the batteries. The TSLA IPO prospectus was good enough. The 0 - 60 in 5 seconds was the cool factor. The price on the roadster was a pricing strategy I agree with and the outline from the company was pretty easy to follow, as was the consumer information I found online. It all came down to execution versus hype. As we discussed offline before, I've traded it a number of times to accumulate free shares. So far so good. Im at the point where I'll ride it forever like SAP or fall into the break even abyss like ATHM. I'd be interested if you take a position and on what basis, should you like to share.
