GM's CEO said all electric cars by 2030 and software-as-a-service but GM doesn't have any infrastructure to actually do this yet, they're so far behind Tesla which is all EV's and saas already. Tesla no matter what happens with their company and valuation has made the top brass of auto companies accept that electric cars are the future(well maybe not Toyota). VW also had their CEO call an executive meeting where he basically berated them and said Tesla is whooping them in EVs. The market share of EVs is still small globally but it seems the writing's on the wall.

Yeah, ok, but that doesn't explain the sudden pop in the middle of today's trading day where it basically soared $20 in a few minutes to above $800. It being Tesla, I wouldn't be surprised if it closed back down in the 780's.

I don't know what happened there either but it's been a good news week for Tesla. They beat on deliveries, issued great guidance, are making quick progress on gigaTexas and Berlin, and the Shanghai factory has already paid off its loan to the Chinese banks.

It has been a good week, yes. There's also the shareholder meeting tonight, but again, that doesn't explain anything. Note that it's back down to $795, almost as fast as it went up. The speculation on Twitter on what may have happened is extremely entertaining, though.

Gotta love following this stock. Lots of fun to be had one way or the other.

So many rumors flying around going into TSLA's annual meeting, who knows which one got to some traders and they put a big bet on it. We'll see how it shakes out in the next day or 2 but yeah very entertaining stock to follow.

Given that, better to be soaring than in free fall.

Because banks are closed? It’s a federal holiday so the government debt markets would be closed too.
