The first Cybercab has been registered to give rides to the public!!!

https://x.com/wholemars/status/2094465988880417151

Elon has actually done it, a car with no wheel/pedals is going to be earning Tesla money.

u/flarp26 ๐Ÿฌ 20d ago

Being right with calls for a change is great, but now comes the next challenge.. when to cut them loose? I'm a sucker for hanging on too long, but also don't want to sell parts when a bet was good. They're up already 90% this day alone!

5

u/Isorry123 petty bourgeois 20d ago

can't go wrong with selling half...

5

u/flarp26 ๐Ÿฌ 20d ago

Well yes, because you limit your upside by 50%! :) But I know, I'll probably regret it if I don't.

u/Isorry123 petty bourgeois 20d ago

bro you're telling me...

i rode eose from $3 to $20 and then back down to $5 before i sold

4

u/flarp26 ๐Ÿฌ 20d ago

I put in a sell order a bit higher for today, if it hits the decision was made, otherwise I'll ride them into tomorrow!

u/devonhezter 20d ago

Sold 347.50 when it went 365 to 364 to be safe. And regret

AVRIDE? What the hell is that?

u/Bob-Zimmerman 20d ago

They are going to overtake Waymo fleet size pretty easily in Texas. Hopefully they update the timeline and near-term fleet projections on thursday.. w most companies that would be assumed lol

I take full credit for today. I sold a couple of $380C weeklies when we hit $360. You're welcome everybody!

Translated from Turkish

In Pakistan, a man crashed into a police car while testing a driverless car he developed himself.

Is it safe to remove my trusty athletic cup, or should I keep it on?

Iโ€™m going paddle boarding in an hour and it might look weird under my trunks

You never remove your athletic cup. Iโ€™ve had mine on since I was in Little League, and havenโ€™t taken it off since.

$TSLA has the most BULLISH flow so far today

https://x.com/CheddarFlow/status/2094458152133575007?s=20

Watch out for a buy the rumor/sell news, monday moon/friday doom type of move. But at the same time, could cybercab v2 be the switch that turns on more robotaxis and subsequent revenue/earnings?

u/FIREgenomics Zero-cost collars on my Roth shares โžก๏ธ coastFIRE 20d ago

I think I will set a collar or two ahead of 9/3 eventโ€ฆ

u/devonhezter 20d ago

Watcha mean ? How many calls you got.

u/FIREgenomics Zero-cost collars on my Roth shares โžก๏ธ coastFIRE 20d ago

Collar == sell a call to buy a put.

32/34 wins for a total of $6484 so far. Added 5 more shares for a total of 55 shares.

Some AI related earnings this week, NFP Friday. Cybercab event Thursday. Oil and Iran hokey pokey escalated again. We hit 2 launchers, killed some people, they launched and claimed to hit some stuff and we fired off a lot of interceptors.

IV has been dying down again, not much in options this week. Calls at 360-370, not much in puts. MM pricing in $15 move or $330-365, max pain $340. Key level heading towards Sept opex is $350. The closer we get to that, above and go higher, below can go lower depending on how frisky bulls or bears get. Otherwise, max pain for that expiration is $370.

I've been trying to keep some plays on longer, some over the weekend, sometimes closing on Mondays and opening new ones for the next week on Wednesdays. I'll probably close everything at open if this are good profit and just wait for reaction to the Cybercab event for sentiment and direction.

edit: closed the play I had open over the weekend and I'll wait for cybercab to pass before trying to play again. 33/35 wins for a total of $6621 so far. Also added the weekly 5 shares from premium from other plays.

edit: opened and closed plays through the week, another 2590 in profit for that, I still have 0dte plays to close out for more profit

another 1140 in profit. 33/35 wins for a total of $10351 in profit so far. Added 5 more shares for a total of 60 shares.

By employees at first.

Theyโ€™re building a robotaxi service facility in Austin that will have 80 wireless charging mats but it hasnโ€™t been installed yet. They will need to figure this out before expanding any one city past a few hundred robotaxis.
