Tesla will Become an S&P 500 Constituent Officially “The Fifth Largest”.

It will be the sixth biggest company in the large-cap benchmark when counting together the two share classes of Alphabet.

Investors, including passive fund managers and active managers that use the S&P 500 as a benchmark, rushed into Tesla shares in the final run-up, pushing the stock up nearly 6% on Friday to close at an all-time high of $695 a share.

Tesla’s S&P 500 inclusion will be officially completed at the open of trading Monday.

The historic addition to the S&P 500 put a bow on Tesla’s outstanding 2020. The Elon Musk-led company has turned in five consecutive profitable quarters amid heightened demand for electric vehicles. Tesla shares have soared more than 730% this year, bringing the company’s market capitalization to more than $658 billion. (S&P Dow Jones uses float-adjusted market value rather than the outright number.)

Tesla’s entry is the largest ever for the influential stock index, and perhaps the most dramatic.

Investors, including passive fund managers and active managers that use the S&P 500 as a benchmark, rushed into Tesla shares in the final run-up, pushing the stock up nearly 6% on Friday to close at an all-time high of $695 a share. Over 200 million Tesla shares changed hands during that single session, more than quadrupling the 30-day average trading volume.

Trading at 186 times forward earnings, Tesla is also one of the most expensive companies to ever join the S&P 500. However, its impact on the benchmark’s valuation turned out to be smaller than many had expected. The S&P 500’s 2021 price-earnings ratio will rise to 22.6 from 22.3, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Meanwhile, as Tesla doesn’t pay dividends, the S&P 500’s dividend yield will dip to 1.53% from 1.56%, Silverblatt said.

In terms of the S&P 500’s performance, the high-growth stock could potentially move the needle. For every $11.11 Tesla moves, the S&P 500 changes 1 point, according to the index analyst.

Goldman Sachs previously estimated that the S&P 500’s total return would have been lifted by 2 percentage points had Tesla been a constituent all year. The S&P 500 so far in 2020 is up 14.8%.

How to Clean Your Tesla of Covid and Coronavirus for Delivery
By: Steve Rhode
Tags: Coronavirus, Tesla Motors, Covid 19, Tesla Model 3, Tesla

Delivery day is fast approaching for our new Model 3 Tesla, and while the delivery may be contactless, you might still have some concerns about how to make sure your car is clean of coronavirus.

After all, when was someone in your car last, and did they leave a big sneeze behind that settled on your interior car surfaces.

So after much research, here is a process you can follow to be as safe as possible when you pick up your new Tesla at the dealer.

By the way, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has this excellent page. See Cleaning and Disinfection for Non-emergency Transport Vehicles.

Tesla Covid Cleaning Process

Supplies

Disposable Gloves

N95 Mask

Disposable Gown

EPA Approved Surface Cleaner — Purell Surface Sanitizer or Equivalent

Two Large Plastic Trash Bags

1 Roll of Paper Towels

You can purchase all these supplies online. Just do an Amazon search.

Process

Go to the car, open the door with a mask and gloves on. Take the paperwork from the car. Roll down all the windows and leave doors as open as possible. Your Tesla representative may have to observe you signing paperwork, but Tesla says they can do that at a safe distance. Once signed, you can leave the paperwork for the Tesla representative to get. Walk away and let them come pick it up. Return to your amazing new car. Remove gloves you had on for signing. Put on the disposable gown, change gloves, get your surface sanitizer ready with your paper towels. Wear eye protection, as well. Be sure to leave all the doors and windows open as you clean the car. Test a paper towel with some of the surface cleaner in a discrete area on each of your interior surface types to confirm you are comfortable the cleaner will not impact the surfaces. Once you are comfortable, wipe down the interior hard surfaces in the car. Pay close attention to locations that may have been touched—places like the steering wheel, door handles, center console, dash, seats, etc. Purell says their surface sanitizer is safe for plastic, sealed wood, Laminate, upholstery, vinyl, stainless steel, glass, and fabrics. — Source We will wait 5–10 minutes for everything to dry. If there is any visual residue, we can wipe that off with a fresh paper towel. As you clean, toss all used paper towels into one large plastic trash bag. When you are completely done, safely remove your gown and gloves and carefully place them in the bag. Wrap the bag tightly and put the bag inside another plastic bag, so the two openings are not aligned. Place the double-wrapped plastic bag in frunk and dispose of it in your trash.

This Might Be Overkill

I agree this process may be more than most people might consider doing. However, if you want to be safer than the majority of people when picking up your new Tesla during a pandemic, then this process might make sense for you.
How Tesla Could Sold Record High EVs In 2020 Without Spending Money On Ads?
By: Ben Huang

2020 has been a rough year for everyone and every company. But how could Tesla still keep breaking selling records without spending any money by buying advertisements on TV, YouTubes, or Websites? There are a lot of reasons why.

“IF YOU ARE READING THIS ARTICLE RIGHT NOW, THAT MEANS THEIR ADVERTISING STRATEGY WORKS.”

First, let’s talk about YouTube. Tesla vehicles have been known as luxary vehicles for the majority of people like you and me. Now think about this question: “How much time do you spend on YouTube every single day?”. I don't know the exact answer, but I know it’s probably a lot. They have the title of “The Best Electric Vehicles on Earth” topic. With advanced technology that they have, FSD, and minimalist style that they have. A lot of YouTubers would definitely make a lot of videos about Tesla EVs. And that, become free advertisements for Tesla. They even encourage YouTubers to “advertise” their Tesla vehicles by giving them referral links for their viewers who are interested to buy Tesla EVs. By clicking on these links, you and the referrer could each get free 1000 miles supercharge after you purchase the Tesla vehicle. And, this is the first way they advertise their brand.

The second way is the stock market. For a lot of options traders or investors, one of the big news in the stock market this year definitely has Tesla included. In March, TSLA (Tesla) went from around 350 USD per share to 1 to 5 split and currently at 695 USD per share. Remember, this is after the 1 to 5 split. We all have to admit that this is an increadeble increase as a new car manufacture company. This gains a lot of attention to Tesla as an increase of exposer to the car industry and people that are interested in vehicles.

The third and the last method is the unique way of purchasing a Tesla vehicle. Now, the way that Tesla sells their vehicles is not the typical way that how you purchase a vehicle. In the “Old Fashion Way” is that you have to physically go to the dealership and try to bargain a lower price for your vehicle. But Tesla does not want to do it that way. So, the only way that you can purchase a Tesla vehicle is by ordering online. Without actually seeing the product with your own eyes. Of course, you could try to schedule a test ride. But if you want to order it, it has to via their website. With the pandemic and lockdown, this is literally the easiest and the safest way to purchase a vehicle compared to going out and exposing the risk of getting the virus. That is why it is a good way to advertise their product especially in 2020.

In the end, I just want to say that a lot of moves that Tesla is doing (Not just advertisements) are breaking the norms of a lot of famous and have history’s car manufacture companies like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Toyota, and Nissan…etc. And personally, I think they are creating a new flow, a new era of mobile industry.

Did you all know that Electric Cars are very beneficial to our environment? It produces less lifecycle greenhouse gasses and over time it will be good for our economy also. Both Amazon and Uber are trying to transition to using Electric Cars. Amazon will soon use Electric Delivery Vans while Uber is offering customers to pay an extra $1 to ride an Electric Car. Soon a Tesla model will soon be more accessible for consumers who cannot afford the current models.

Tic-Tac…almost there, Tesla fans!

2 days left for Tesla’s inclusion in the S&P500. What do you think is gonna happen?

For the company, it’s a very important step. Tesla’s going to play with the big guys. Is it going to influence Elon Musk’s ultimate goal?

One thing’s for sure. It’s a huge moment for the EV market, for the auto industry, and for the disruptive technologies coming from there.

What about Tesla stock? Is it gonna keep soaring?

The bearish are praying for another tech bobble, like in 2000. The bullish say: Tesla to the Moon.

The monetary system is collapsing at the same time Bitcoin keeps its journey as an alternative asset.

2021 is going to be unfit for cardiac people.

A major shift is rising. Dollar against BTC. ICE vehicles against EVs.

What do you think?

How do you think 2021 is going to be?
Tesla Prepares to Enter the Romanian Market by Opening Recruitment for the Service Center
By: Eva Fox
Tags: Romania, Tesla

It looks like Tesla is looking to enter the Romanian market as the company has begun recruiting for positions in Bucharest, Romania’s capital. The first employees that are needed are the service center employees.

On December 14, Tesla opened recruitment for a number of positions related to the work of the service center and the store. Initial job listings included: Tesla Advisor, Store Manager, Senior Service Technician, Service Manager, and Service Technician. However, as of today, sales positions have been removed from the list. At the moment, it remains unknown whether they were already occupied or the company made changes to the development plan in Romania.

The practice of opening a Service Center first is not unusual. When a service center appears in a country, residents of the country become much more predisposed to buying a car. The fact is that, at the moment, although Tesla cars are not officially sold in a number of European countries, especially in Eastern Europe, people still buy them in roundabout ways. However, in the event of any problems, they are forced to go to a service center located in Austria or the Netherlands. This is very inconvenient and often a repelling factor. Having a service center in the country will certainly solve this difficulty.

In the description of the posts, Tesla wrote:

“As we prepare for our exciting new entry in to Romania, we are looking to recruit a Senior Service Technician/Service Manager/Service Technician to join our brand new team in Bucharest! At Tesla, our Senior Service Technician/Service Manager/Service Technician is the backbone of the Service operation, who consistently deliver a revolutionary and exceptional experience to Tesla customers every day, supporting our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”

Tesla is expanding its presence around the world, gradually increasing speed and efforts to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

Elon Musk and company have officially departed for greener pastures in Texas.
By: Brandon Beattie
Tags: Elon Musk, Tesla, Oracle, Texas, Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley has long been the hub of the world’s tech industry giants, dating as far back as 1938, the same year Superman was debuted to the world, when Bill Hewlett and David Packard sold their first audio oscillator to Walt Disney. Disney would go on to use the oscillators to test audio equipment when Fantasia first hit theaters in 1940.

Fast forward 80 years, and the Silicon Valley trendsetter is joining the founder of SpaceX for the same greener pastures, having recently broke ground for a new 440,000-square-foot campus in two five-story buildings in the Houston suburb of Spring. The campus is set for completion in 2022.

On Friday, Oracle, the database software goliath announced plans to join them, saying it will relocate its headquarters to Austin.

According to the Austin Chamber of Commerce, as of November, 39 companies now call Austin, TX their new home, including SignEasy, QuestionPro and DZS who all made the move in the past 12 months. What makes HPE's decision an especially hard pill to swallow for a California economy that is all of a sudden losing ground to it's Texas rival isn't just it's "founder of Silicone Valley" status, but the cool $7.2 billion in sales in Q3 they're taking with them to the Lone Star State, forever.

This mass "tech exodus", or "techxit" can be traced back to a whole host of reasons, be it tax-benefit related, better business climate, reasons pertaining to Covid-19 restrictions, hostility toward businesses, high utility and labor costs, punitive regulations and worrisome housing affordability for employees. Either way, this "techxit" movement has been under way for more than a decade. Roughly 660 California companies moved 765 facilities out of state in 2018 and 2019. Based off what we have seen in recent years, this trend will only continue, as it has in 2020.

Many will go on to say that the reason for so many high-profile millionaires and billion-dollar corporations to pick up and leave is because of the current world pandemic. That's hardly the case however.

Texas is the number one destination for companies leaving California for the past 12 years. This is a statistical fact, not opinion. Covid-19 may have simply hastened the decision for these companies to move on earlier than expected. Couple this with the fact that many employees are now becoming comfortable with their new-found work-from-home situations and are more than likely earning the same paychecks. Several tech firms have said they'll give employees the option to permanently work from home even after the pandemic ends, making residing in one of the worlds most expensive places to live and work in, easier to vacate. I have a friend that is moving to Nashville in 2021 because the internet marketing company she works for in Los Angeles gave her the option to work from home even when things go back to some semblance of normalcy.

California is still by far the largest economy in the US, and will remain so for the foreseeable future indeed.
Tesla TSLA Draws Massive Trade Volume as it Prepares for S&P 500 Inclusion
By: Eva Fox
Tags: Share, Finance, Tesla

Tesla’s ( NASDAQ: TSLA ) impressive growth continues with renewed vigor. The company’s scheduled S&P 500 listing on December 21 is expected to be preceded by a major deal in which Tesla shares are bought for $80 billion.

Tesla will become the most valuable company ever included in the S&P 500, and will account for 1% of the total index. As of this writing, the price was $673 per share. The company had a market capitalization of nearly $638 billion. Since the beginning of the year, shares have risen by about 700%.

Today, on the last day of trading before inclusion in the index, Tesla shares were the most actively traded on the American stock exchanges, with about 1.9 million shares changing hands by 9:00 a.m. ET, Reuters reports.

Tesla’s addition to the S&P 500 forced index-tracking funds to buy over $80 billion worth of Tesla stock by the end of Friday’s session to ensure their portfolios correctly reflect the index according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. These funds will also have to simultaneously sell shares of other S&P 500 participants for the same amount.

“Index managers will need to sell a large position across the other S&P 500 constituents in order to fund the addition of TSLA, which could lead to substantial impact across the entire index,” Virtu ITG Canada’s head of index research, Ivan Cajic, wrote in a report this week.

Tesla shares are the most highly traded shares on Wall Street. Over the course of the year, Tesla shares were traded for about $18 billion daily. In comparison, Apple’s average intraday trading volume was $14 billion.

The construction speed of Giga Texas is gaining momentum. Much of the Phase 1 area is already in development, and existing structures are increasing in size every day. Large quantities of building materials and new cranes continue to arrive at the construction site to assemble the buildings.

The steel structure that stretches from north to center has grown significantly over the past five days. During this time, nine more sections were added to the 17 sections already on the first floor, which now makes 26. 12 more were added to the 14 sections on the second floor, making 26, nine of which already have a roof covering. There are even more floor slabs on the second floor, indicating that the building in this section will be at least three stories high. Also in the southern part, the beginning of the expansion of the structure is noticeable.

The installation of footings in the west-central part of the site continues. At this point, there are more than a thousand of them, and their construction continues. In the western part, the construction of a new steel structure noticed five days ago, is also continuing. The foundation for the wall is being poured along the western edge. At the moment, most of the length has already been filled with cement.

The installation of supports continues in the central-eastern part. Excavation of ground is being carried out along the eastern edge to fill the foundation, just as was done from the western edge.

Construction of the huge foundations at the site of the major excavation continues at a rapid pace. The western half of the foundation is already completely backfilled with soil. Strengthening with metal reinforcement and cement continues from its northern part. Backfilling also began on the east side.

In the southeastern corner, at the very bottom edge, a lot of massive reinforced concrete supports have been installed, which have already appeared on the western side of the large pit. Reinforced concrete slabs were installed on them, which formed a large and solid roof in six sections.

WILL UBER DUMP YOU FOR A ROBOT?
Tags: Elon Musk, Covid 19, Tesla, Artificial Intelligence, Uber

I've been with uber on and off for about 5 years now. 2015 pay was astonishing to what the uber payout model is today. Back then you could drive 25 hours and make around $1000 bucks if one knew the "hot" areas and heavy traffic times. Nowadays I hear stories of people driving 40+ hours a week making the same thing. Sure that's decent if you're still in that stage of life. But after taxes you'll end up regretting it.

Is it me or did someone switch something up?

Since it's ipo back in may 2019 the ridesharing company has been struggling. Today (Dec. 16th) Uber's stock price is sitting $51 pre-market open. They obviously had to cut some ties somewhere. Could it be UberEATS, Covid, insurance, Tesla?

As we all know technology is it a legendary status right now and we can only make it better. Now with that said artificial intelligence is ramping and maybe Uber would rather go with that route. In my opinion it's more reliable if you can get a system down that works. Which I'm sure they can, look at those mini robots they deliver food on college campuses. Im certain someone will come along with an algorithm that can allow some sort of street legal delivery vehicle that will be able to drive to and fro various locations.

Doesn't that sound like a Tesla, Elon Musk sort of thing?

Speaking of... Elon Musk just moved to Texas, which by the way is a major play.

First just imagine how much money he will be saving just from the price of living. That extra capital alone could be the startup to this Uber, Tesla collaboration.

Furthermore Texas is an opportunistic state and could provide more value than one may think. There are plenty of AI companies in Texas, which may give a young entrepreneur to run a couple of ideas to make this a reality.

Overall if humans are demanding more, Uber may switch to technology to save their corporations.

Tesla and market movers

Screenshot from the Robinhood App

https://robinhood.com/us/en/

Tesla is joining the S&P 500. I thought it as a good opportunity to share a message about market movers and how they can affect investing decisions.

What are market movers?

Market movers are companies or investors that have the ability to temporarily shift the direction of a market as a result of their buying, selling and investing decisions.

When it comes to products, customers and influencers are the market movers, in the market of intangible assets such as the stock market, these market movers are industry leading companies and investment banks.

Banks represent the lion share of investable dollars in the market. These aren’t your traditional retail banks but the investment banks that control retirement funds, mutual funds and others types of funds. The behaviors of banks help to inform the retail investor of the direction of the market, and what the market considers a “safe” investment.

The way to use this information is to understand the immediate affect that their decision will have on the listed company and industry and the long term implications for the market.

This information provides you a much of the information you need to make better decisions about your investment strategy.

Be Part Of Your Own Creation
Tags: Spacex, Elon Musk, The Boring Company, Elon, Tesla

Elon Musk says to be a part of something rather than watching it happen. Too many people take shortcuts in life instead of working hard every day and learning. You’ll never just wake up and have millions of dollars. You’ll never wake up and just be famous. It takes years of practice and work to get to that point. Elon Musk was successful because he never let failure stop him from moving forward. We often look at failure as a bad thing, but it doesn’t have to be. Failure can be the most powerful learning tool.

Elon Musk — I could either watch it happen or be part of it.

Elon has won multiple awards because people recognise and appreciate his skills. Skills that took a lifetime to master. Everybody wants to be a celebrity with awards and millions of fans, but nobody wants to put in the work to get there. Consistency will get you far. You don’t have to be the best at what you do. You don’t have to be the strongest, fastest, or even the smartest. You just have to be consistent and always willing to put in the effort.

Half of the battle is being willing to drown out the inner voice telling you that you’re not good enough. It’s easy to let fear prevent us from doing our best. It’s a habit that we need to break. Once you know your path, it gets easy to know how to walk it. Just remember to believe in yourself and take the time to relax. Mental health is the most important thing in the long journey to success and happiness.

Being a part of your own creation is the best feeling in the world. Knowing all those years paid off. Knowing that every risk you took was worth it. With time and hard work, you too can be just like Elon Musk. Never settle for being anything less than you deserve.
Greg Sande: The 3rd Tesla Solar Roof in Oregon
By: Solar Oregon
Tags: Solar, Tesla, Renewable Energy, Sustainability, Solar Energy

How did I get here?

I’m a tech guy, fascinated by innovation and disruptive thinking. Tech that seems like magic. Whether it was the new iPhone introduced back in 2007, or a sports car running on thousands of little lithium batteries in 2008.

My interest in solar began about five years ago in 2015. This time the attraction was in the potential to power our house, and fuel our EV with an endless transmission of wireless energy, seemingly pulled out of thin air, direct from the sun, right to our house. A very surreal concept. So I researched several options with companies in the area and got quotes on solar panels. Most would not consider our home, since we had a cedar shake roof, and an old one at that. The bids came back expensive and assumed install only on a new composite roof. Too expensive. We decided we would for another day.

In 2016, Tesla announced a new kind of solar panel option. A series of solar roof tiles that look… well… like a normal tile roof. Excited about this new roof replacement possibility, I immediately submitted our information online — only later to find out their Solar Roof product would run more than 3x the price of new shake roof. So our dreams set aside again. But I had faith, that solar was, and is, a technology that essentially follows Moore’s Law. Like a semiconductor, doubling in performance (or reducing in cost) every 2 years or so. Now we had a strategy, a gamble.

Our home built in 1995 required roof maintenance and repair every 5 years, stealing ~$5,000 from our check book every time. Could I get our roof to last another five years, just one more time? I was hopeful that by 2021 the price of a roof like Tesla’s Solar Roof would become more common place, more affordable, a reality. For the last three years, Tesla was mainly doing installs in California as they worked out the kinks and improved their product. And then this last February, Tesla announced they were opening up the Oregon market. I quickly put in a $100 reservation, not knowing would would come next. I would wait. Months of waiting. As did the rest of the Oregon community. We knew installs were being pushed to Q4, but when? Who first?
EA to acquire Codemasters in $1.2 billion deal
By: Fahad Ahmad
Tags: Code, Tesla, UK, Electric Car, Software Development

Electronic Arts have reportedly reached an agreement to buy out UK based game developer Codemasters Software Company Limited in a deal worth $1.2 billion. The deal, which is expected to close in early 2021, will see EA dominate the racing genre of the video game industries with huge titles like the F1 and Dirt series coming under its belt.

“We believe there is a deeply compelling opportunity in bringing together Codemasters and Electronic Arts to create amazing and innovative new racing games for fans,” said EA CEO Andrew Wilson in a statement. “Our industry is growing, the racing category is growing, and together we will be positioned to lead in a new era of racing entertainment.”

Take-Two, another video game company, had originally tried to acquire the video game publisher in a prior deal worth $1 billion, however, EA swooped in and went $200 million better. The British video game publisher is one of the oldest in existence and has developed hundreds of games in that time. Recently, the video game publisher has focused mostly on racing games with game series such as Formula One, Dirt, Dirt Rally, and Grid forming its flagship lineup. It also acquired Slightly Mad Studios, the software house behind Project Cars last year. The Southam-based company employs 700 people in 5 locations all around the world, including offices in Kuala Lumpur and Pune.

EA also has its own line of racing games with the Need for Speed franchise being synonymous with the racing genre. However, the California-based video game giant has doubled down on its EA sports lineup of games like the super popular FIFA, Madden, and NBA franchises.
Tesla Phone Screen Cache Problem. Least Recently Used (LRU) Cache is a…
By: Double Pointer
Tags: Coding, Tech, Tesla, Codingbootcamp, Technology

Least Recently Used (LRU) Cache is a very common problem asked in interviews. The key to the problem is to realize that a hash table and a doubly linked list can be used to solve it efficiently. Another variant of the LRU problem is the priority-expiry cache. The Educative’s course on Big-O Notation for Coding Interviews and Beyond solves this problem using two heaps and two hash-tables, but isn’t conclusively the best solution. If you have a better solution, we’d love to hear from you and share your solution here with due credits. This questions has been asked in phone-screens at Tesla, Oracle, Salesforce, Google, Facebook and a bunch of other Big Tech according to various online interview forums.

The problem statement requires us to design a cache with the following methods:

get(String key)

set(String key, String value, int priority, int expiry)

evictItem(int currentTime)

The rules by which the cache operates is are follows:

If an expired item is available. Remove it. If multiple items have the same expiry, removing any one suffices. If condition #1 can’t be satisfied, remove an item with the least priority. If more than one item satisfies condition #2, remove the least recently used one. Multiple items can have the same priority and expiry.

You’ll enjoy the mental gymnastics with data-structures to solve this problem :)

yTSLA always tells the truth about TSLA
By: Dark Matter
Tags: Defi, Ethereum, Tesla

While TSLA (by Elon Musk) is heralded as the “stock pick of the decade,” mooning to over a $600B market cap in 2020 and making fortunes, there has arisen an alternative market to “take a position” in the terms of yTSLA.

Simply put, yTSLA is a rebase product that will rebase daily to 1/100 the price of TSLA at 15:00 UTC daily. This is how it works.

yTSLA’s starting supply during the bootstrap phase was 111,111 — these were distributed fair and free to the community. There was never a “pre-sale” and the team is and was 100% decentralized with no single leader (in many ways similar to bitcoin).

So, being in crypto, this allows us exposure directly and in a decentralized way to the price of TSLA.

If TSLA is trading at $600, and then yTSLA is trading at $6, then they are at parity (i.e.no rebase is needed).

However, if TSLA is trading at $600 and yTSLA is at $12, then that is a 100% difference and so during the rebase the total supply of yTSLA will increase by 10%. This increase will happen on all yTSLA, in wallets, liquidity pools, etc.

On the other hand, if TSLA is at $600 and yTSLA at $3, then yTSLA will get a 10% supply decrease.

The exact math is a little complex, but the simple way to understand it, is:

1. Divide TSLA by $100

2. Compare the prices

3. For every 100% difference (or fraction thereof) the supply of yTSLA will increase or decrease by 10% (or fraction thereof)

The supply increase/decrease will not change the price of yTLSA, however it will increase/reduce the amount of tokens in peoples’ wallets so it could incentivize economic activity (buying and selling) to bring the price of yTSLA back to 1/100 Parity with TSLA.

We think this is a very important financial revolution for a few reasons:

1. The project is 100% decentralized in code, meaning even if “someone” wanted to shut it down, it actually would be impossible; the code for yTSLA already lives on the blockchain forever. This protocol can and will go on perpetually beyond the reach even of the people that originally deployed it.

2. Supply is 100% decentralized. There were early distribution farms during the bootstrap phase (before rebase) and supply is now in the hands of over 500 holders at time of publishing. There are no “team bags” and there is no “team liquidity;” it is all community owned and generated. You can consider this technically, and community-wise, very much “like Bitcoin.”

3. It gives decentralized, fast, and permissionless exposure to TSLA.

Enough said.

Next steps.

Visit ytsla.finance for the rebase countdown and for more information. Another great place to start is by visiting our DEXTools page.

You will need to use Uniswap to trade and you can do so here.

Also, make sure to follow us on Twitter and join our Telegram where we have lots of cool stuff going on with yTSLA and our sister project DMT (hint — if you like NFTs, you will love DMT).

Okay, thanks for your time!

To Marp and Beyond!

Today BYD is a High-tech giant, from power generation and storage to its applications, dedicated to providing zero-emission energy solutions. The company offers product and solutions in the following categories:

Passenger vehicles: we will of course talk more in detail about the EV cars later on, but let’s only just remember that BYD produce also many ICE and Hybrid vehicles.

12/16更新-Elon Musk內部 email"We would like you to take the opportunity to refresh or spend time with your family" 關鍵字在於 “refresh”，部分分析師猜測可能藉此停工更新產線。

短評:特斯拉每年固定都會對產線進行升級和調整，增加效能和生產效率。今年的50萬輛車目標仍然不變，Elon Musk仍和公司員工共同努力，之前還是一樣睡在工廠。

Tesla Model X(The Guardian)

特斯拉近日宣布美國加州的Model X 與Model S的產線將自聖誕夜起停工，根據內部的email員工將修數日不等的無薪假。

美國財經媒體CNBC報導，Model X及 Model S車輛產線將從12月24日停工至隔年1月11日。產線員工僅會獲得1周的薪資，但不會拿到產線改善期間的全額薪資。

Elon Musk在對內部的email提到需求仍然持需高漲，因此公司需要盡速在第四季增加產能來應付需求。

While that's on the side Indian Bangalore-based startup PRAVAIG Dynamics launched their prototype EV named Extinction MK I last week. The founder of PRAVAIG Dynamics Siddhartha Bagri said that the MK I has a battery capacity of 96 kWh and can run up to 500 km in a single charge and claims that it can charge up to 80% in 30 mins. (Wofhh..!) Only a hand count mobile phone can do that currently. He also claims that it can catch 100kmph in less than 5.5s, That's a very good pickup to say although most Tesla cars can do it around or less than 3.5 but speaking fairly it just got into the business.

Elon Musk Advises ‘Stop Wasting Time With Power Point’

On Tuesday, CEOs participated in the 2020 CEO Summit , in which Tesla co- founder and leader Elon Musk provided a set of recommendations, including prioritizing the improvement of meetings with Power Point presentations.

In general, he advised spending less time in boardrooms and presentations and spending more time improving the product or service.

“Are top American executives focusing enough on product improvement? I think the answer is no. Spend less time on finances, less time in meeting rooms, spend less time on PowerPoint and more on trying to make your product the best it can be, ” Musk mentions in the 2020 CEO Cover interview, where he talks about future plans for Tesla and SpaceX.

The international event brought together several American executives with the purpose of improving their practices in their companies.

The executive expresses that his ultimate goal is to become an “absolute perfectionist about the product he makes or the service he provides.” Also, look for criticism and negative comments, more opinions about them in order to improve them.

Musk points out, “If the CEO only focuses on the bottom line, he just barks up the wrong tree.”

According to the employer, “The biggest problem for US companies is that there are too many MBAs — Masters in Business Administration — leading companies.”

In the same way, he adds that they should be totally focused on their products and services, spend less time on finances and together. “The company does not have enough value by itself, the important thing is the sources and how they are worked”, finally the purpose of the company is to generate quality in what it offers to others adding an added value to achieve benefits. He also recommends giving customers more time and questioning whether it is something the consumer would use.

This attitude is totally learnable , “spending more time visiting stores, going out on the factory floor and talking to consumers. If you don’t love the product, don’t expect others to do it, ”says Musk.

Electric Vehicles are coming!

I recently attended a webinar from Shift2Electric’s Jukka Kukkonen.

The Finnish American Chamber of Commerce-Minnesota facilitated this EV discussion. There is plenty of Electric Vehicle (EV) information available on the Shift 2 Electric website.

The highlights for me are:

The financial market is rewarding and sees the future of transportation is electric.

The range has increased by 50% in the last 6 years even with the headwinds from the 2016 US election. Hence, we can expect more progress with the new administration in 2021.

Home charging EVs is 85%, the remaining is workplace charging and public fast charging.

Finally, we are moving into a “smart” homeworld where most of our electric appliances will be able to talk to each other.

In the picture above, we can see the solar on the homeowner’s roof is charging the batteries at home and also EV batteries. We can look at the electric vehicles’ batteries as “flexible loads” like a grid-interactive water heater. The latter is heating water at an off-peak time and saving that hot water for peak-time.

I am sure more EV models will be on the road. More consumer awareness and more charging options. The future is electric!!

Current view suggests the stock is bullish against the 401.57 pivot . As of right now we are getting wave 4 red pull back. The pull back looks incomplete at the moment. suggesting we can see another leg down toward 545.88–512.72 equal legs area (buyers zone). We do not like selling in any proposed pull back and favor the long side from the marked blue box area. As the main trend is bullish, we expect to see 3 waves bounce at least from the mentioned zone. Once the price reach 50 Fibonacci Retracement against the((b)) black peak, we should make long positions Risk Free ( put SL at BE).

TINA Turner: Elon Musk’s Favorite Badass Beat

TINA Turner: Elon Musk’s Favorite Badass Beat

Photo by Artem Bryzgalov on Unsplash

The acronym TINA, which stands for There Is No Alternative, is often used by investors to explain a less-than-ideal portfolio allocation.

The boring part about TINA?

It’s a phrase that originated with the Victorian philosopher Herbert Spencer and later became a slogan for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s.

The awesome part about TINA?

For Tesla shareholders, it’s been a party with the sound of Tina Turner’s ‘Simply the best’.

People like Ron Baron, one of the biggest and earliest investors in Tesla, have to be proud of his ability to believe in Elon Musk and his dream.

In 2014, Baron’s fund bought 1,006,000 shares at an average price of $219. Well, this was pre-split.

So, I’m gonna let you do the math, for you to feel the real impact on numbers when you invest on the right horse.

7 months ago, in a CNBC interview, Chamath Palihapitiya was facing a graphic on Tesla stock where it was down 27% that day. The price was $270 pre-split.

The journalist was looking for blood and asked a question to put him at a dead end. Chamath made a pause and shared his feelings about Elon and Tesla.

If you want to take a step back, in a 3 to 5 year-view, and say where can I compound my money? and particularly with the converts, what’s so beautiful is that they are downside protected because it sets on top of all the equity and the other dept. So, if you have any concerns about liquidity issues, they get paid first. To me, it was a riskless option on the Edison of our generation.

Let me underline this phrase again, cause it’s remarkable.

It was a riskless option on the Edison of our generation

Tesla is currently valued at $650B. It’s 18.5 times price/sales. 78 times price/gross profit. And 203 times price/EBIT.

Ok, I know what you’re thinking. Warren Buffett would have an aneurism if he saw these numbers a few decades ago. I get it.

But that’s where comes TINA. Forget about the party, it’s not ‘Simply the best’ Tina.

It’s about There Is No Alternative TINA. If you think about it, there’s a deep philosophical issue within TINA and money itself.

What is money today?

Money can be interpreted as a technology store of value over time. Elon Musk would call it an allocation system for labor.

If labor is all on technology for the future 10 to 20 years, technology can and probably will be a store of value. And I’m not even talking about Bitcoin. Let Bitcoin be quiet for a second.
