- Tuesday, June 18, 2:44 PM Tesla Motors (TSLA +1.3%) shares are on the move amid some chatter that General Motors is interested in the EV automaker's technology. Though Tesla supplies Mercedes-Benz with electric drivetrains, there hasn't been any prior indication that the Big Three automakers have had any serious interest in working a deal with Tesla. 12 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, June 18, 6:41 AM North Carolina is the latest state to attempt to block Tesla Motors (TSLA) from selling electric vehicles directly to consumers. The state Senate has already approved a measure to ban Tesla from selling online in the state and the House could vote on it within weeks. 40 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, June 17, 8:25 AM Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA) move 2.6% higher premarket to $102.91 with a fresh Overweight rating and $150 price target from Global Equities helping to lift sentiment early in the week. The investment firm thinks Tesla is creating a "new industry" with its electric vehicles boasting solid performance and muscle. 11 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, June 13, 9:22 AM Can the price of batteries be brought down far enough to build a $40,000 electric car? That's the question that CNN Money, Barron's, and a host of others have posed to Tesla Motors (TSLA) and CEO Elon Musk, and needs to be answered before delving into Tesla's valuation. The automaker has indicated a mass-market vehicle with a range of 200 miles will hit the market in 2016 with a price point close to entries of Nissan and Toyota. Will it take a rocket scientist to pull off the engineering marvel? 47 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 12, 8:43 AM Robert W. Baird raises its price target on Tesla Motors (TSLA) to $118 after missing a turn on the automaker's road to triple digits. The color from the investment firm focuses on the long-term potential for the Model X and Generation III, indicating that the PT only factors in moderate share price appreciation over the next few years. TSLA +3.3% premarket to $97.20. 36 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, June 11, 4:43 PM In case proof was needed short-covering had much to do with Tesla's (TSLA) epic May rally, the Nasdaq just provided it. Short interest in the world's most well-discussed electric car maker totaled 18.6M as of May 31 - that's down 19% from May 15's 23M and 33% from April 30's 27.5M, and is the easily the lowest figure reported over the last 12 months. 18 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 11, 8:57 AM Shorting Tesla Motors (TSLA) is a bad idea, according to Helix Investment Research. The firm makes the case that the large percentage of institutional investors (10 largest stakeholders own 42% of shares) indicates Tesla's share price will have solid support as fund managers refuse to get left behind what could be an enormous growth story. On the leadership front, Elon Musk has what it takes to defy skeptics similar to the successful path of Jeff Bezos (Amazon) and Marc Benioff (Salesforce), according to the Helix thesis. TSLA -2.2% premarket to $97.82. 15 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 11, 7:58 AM Clients were net sellers of stocks in May, according to the TD Ameritrade Investor Movement Index. The gauge declined for a 2nd consecutive month to 5.02 from 5.31 previously. Clients were net buyers across the materials sector (XLB), but reduced exposure elsewhere. After steadily accumulating the stock for months, clients turned net sellers of Apple (AAPL). Other tech names seeing selling: MSFT, CSCO, INTC. Notable buying activity: TSLA, BRK.B, KMP, VALE, LINE. 15 Comments
- Monday, June 10, 9:40 AM Plug Power (PLUG +12.9%) and Ballard Power Systems (BLDP +9%) soar as an increased focus on battery costs for Tesla helps to bring attention to the companies. For its part, Tesla Motors (TSLA -1.5%) has trimmed a premarket loss and still trades in triple digits as investors bet the EV automaker can lowers the cost of batteries as new technologies develop. 18 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, June 10, 8:47 AM Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA) are off 2.9% premarket with a cover story in Barron's (I, II) firing up passionate reactions from both TSLA longs and shorts. The action is relatively minor considering the dizzying +200% YTD run in Tesla shares and the strong slap from a publication that is known as a Monday stock mover. 20 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Sunday, June 9, 2:41 PM More weekend buzz on Tesla Motors (TSLA) (previous): Shares will be on watch Monday following a Barron's cover story that pitches the case that a triple-digit share price is unjustified. Two things to consider for the EV automaker's long-term potential: 1) Will the cost of electric batteries come down as Tesla rolls out its Model X and Gen III? Opinion is sharply divided. 2) While CEO Elon Musk says he sees sales reaching 30K-40K per year soon, if you crunch the numbers it appears investors are betting on sales reaching a level of hundreds of thousands a year. Despite Tesla's transformative tech, as the company eventually enters the mass-market segment valuation could fall back in line with peers. 106 Comments [Consumer]
- Saturday, June 8, 9:30 AM Tesla's (TSLA) a short says Barron's Bill Alpert in a cover story which rehashes familiar arguments, but notes the shares - recently essentially unborrowable - can now be had for a single-digit interest rate. Perhaps the most interesting part of the story is Elon Musk hanging up on Bill Alpert during an interview for the piece: "I have no interest in an article that debates what we consider to be an obvious point - which is that there is a dramatic reduction in battery costs ... I am terminating this interview." 125 Comments
- Friday, June 7, 11:01 AM Tesla Motors (TSLA +1.8%) moves forward with a plan to open a store in China, despite doubts from analysts that the automaker can make a strong presence in the nation. Though the Chinese government is getting more serious in offering subsidies for electric vehicles, the price tag on the Model S and the lack of charging station infrastructure are concerns. 41 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 5, 2:41 PM Tesla Motors (TSLA -0.2%) roundup: 1) Tesla Motors plans to launch a Gen III electric sedan in 2016 which will have a range of at least 200 miles and could sticker for half the price of the Model S. Though still two years away, the new model would presumably be near a price point of EV entries from Toyota and Nissan. 2) CEO Elon Musk says that even after the automaker paid off its DOE loan, it's sitting on a cash pile of about $760M. 3) A Musk tweet makes it clear the founder is in for the long haul: "...just as my money was the first in, it will be the last out." 14 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 5, 9:41 AM Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA -4.4%) fall lower in early trading. Though much of the action could still be profits being taken off the table, the news that Kandi Technologies landed government approval in China to sell an all-electric sedan is an interesting development for the EV market. 8 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, June 4, 7:38 AM Tesla Motors (TSLA) lost its legal tussle with auto dealers in Texas over its plan to sell electric vehicles directly to consumers. A bill that would have provided an exception to current dealership rules failed to even make it the floor of the Texas House or Senate for a vote. 55 Comments [Consumer]

Eldobeldo: If I am not mistaken, the batteries are one of the most expensive components $20K-30K? Does this seem financially feasible for a company?
