- Tuesday, May 7, 12:34 PM Google (GOOG -0.6%) roundup:1) Elon Musk says Tesla (TSLA) is talking with Google about using its self-driving tech. But he views it as the equivalent of a plane's autopilot mode rather than a total replacement for human control, and criticizes the cost of Google's sensor system - Musk says Tesla will likely develop a cheaper camera-based system. 2) ChannelAdvisor reports same-store sales for clients via search ads rose only 2.3% Y/Y in April. Sales via shopping engines (such as Google Shopping) rose 6.1%. 3) TheStreet's Anton Wahlman points out Google Glass could see strong commercial uptake. Soldiers, emergency personnel, and retail industry workers are named as potential users. 4 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 7, 7:11 AM Tesla Motors (TSLA) is only a day away from reporting Q1 earnings with analysts still taking estimates higher. Jefferies sees a subtle penny profit for the EV company during the period, but takes its view on 2014 EPS all the way up to $1.54-$1.64 as revenue revs up. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, May 6, 10:43 AM Another strong day of trading for Tesla Motors (TSLA +4.2%) ahead of its earnings release scheduled for Wednesday takes shares back over $56. Barclays is still on board (sort of), saying the "hyper growth" company could go as high as $131 per share if the EV automaker crosses over into the mass affluent market - but warning it might be an all-or-nothing proposition. Barclays' TSLA roulette: A successful third-generation product could take EPS up to $14.58 in six years, which after applying a 12X multiple and discounting 5% annually brings $131 in play. A misfiring production schedule brings in cash flow nightmares and a scenario where shares crash to $5. 9 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, May 3, 7:16 PM Just a month after rolling out its lease-to-own financing program, and generating more than its share of bad reviews in the process, Tesla (TSLA) says it's amending the program. It will now guarantee those who lease a Model S will be able to return the car after three years with a residual value of at least 50% of its sticker price, versus the 43% the company announced last month, and is extending the length of the lease-to-own contracts to 72 months from 63. (Conference Call Webcast). 12 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 2, 2:41 PM Tesla Motors (TSLA +2.3%) will make an announcement tomorrow, according to CEO Elon Musk (tweet). The topic is anyone's guess - but Musk tipped off that it's "time to up the ante (and fix some mistakes). " 20 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 2, 10:30 AM Electric vehicle roundup: 1) Chevrolet Volt sales disappointed by falling 11% Y/Y to trail the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S, but GM thinks the Chevrolet Spark EV will fill a gap in the market. 2) Nissan (NSANY.OB) did sell 1,937 Leaf vehicles in April, but at what cost? Major price reductions on the model during the quarter have been reported. 3) As if Elon Musk doesn't create enough buzz for Tesla Motors (TSLA +2.5%) via his Twitter account, now Bloomberg is upping the ante by throwing out the idea in a speculative article that Apple should buy the automaker. 17 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 1, 7:46 AM Auto sales are being driven higher by a recovery in the housing market and the wealth effect of a percolating stock market just as much (if not more) than pent-up demand, according to analysts. The average age of vehicles on the road has actually increased to 11.2 years from 10.8 years, giving some indication that perhaps "hundreds of thousands" of units need to be replaced. What to watch: All the major automakers report April U.S. sales numbers today with expectations running high that milder weather and new models on the market boosted sales. 13 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 1, 6:42 AM Electric car maker Coda files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after selling only one hundred units of its all-electric model. The company aims to come out the other side of bankruptcy as an energy storage firm. The development effectively leaves Tesla Motors (TSLA) the last automaker standing out of a promising California-based EV trio that also included Fisker and Coda. 20 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 30, 12:55 PM Automobile industry snapshot: With a third of the year in the books, the fight for market share in the U.S. is being won by Ford (F), Chrysler (FIATY.PK), and Toyota while South Korean automakers stumble (KIMTF.PK, HYMLF.PK) and General Motors (GM) slowly recovers to where it stood six months ago. Though estimates for total industry sales in 2013 keep ranging higher, watch for Japanese automakers (NSANY.OB, HMC, TM) to use a weakened yen to compete more aggressively on price. On the EV front, the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt hope to take advantage of Tesla Motors (TSLA) pulling the plug on its 40-kWh version of the Model S. 16 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, April 29, 5:30 PM A very bullish presentation from Longboard Asset Management helped Tesla (TSLA +7.4%) rally today. Calling Tesla the auto industry version of Apple (others have made that analogy in some form) due to its brand, management, and disruptive impact (among other things), Longboard predicts shares will hit $100 within 18 months and $200 within 5 years. The firm expects Tesla to grab 80% of the global EV market, praises the company's engineering skill, and expects a heavy short interest (44% of the free float is shorted) to help fuel a rally. (slides) Update: SA commenters report having seen Longboard's presentation earlier. However, it was only today that it received media coverage. 24 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, April 29, 2:42 PM Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA +5.6%) rally again in a move that looks and smells suspiciously like a squeeze of more shorts. The last official word from Nasdaq was that Tesla's short interest was 30.695M shares on April 15 - down from 32.317M on March 15 - with another report out in a few days which could clear up the issue even more. 11 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, April 26, 2:07 PM More from Tesla Motors (TSLA -0.1%): In the midst of a lot of details on the company's new Model S warranty loaner program, Elon Musk let slip that another announcement is coming out next week regarding the Supercharger network and concerns on driving range. He also noted the automaker wants to make the third-generation EV model to be as affordable as possible. (webcast) 20 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, April 26, 1:53 PM The big news from Tesla Motors (TSLA +0.2%) is that the company will offer fully-loaded Model S vehicles as service loaners in connection with its no-fault warranty program. In a margin-defying twist, Tesla drivers can keep the loaner car if they like it better. During a conference call, CEO Elon Musk also says the automaker's warranty will be transferable amongst owners. It's not quite the news some investors were looking for as shares of Tesla Motors move off their daily highs. (webcast) 28 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, April 26, 10:18 AM Tesla Motors (TSLA +1.7%) will hold a conference call at 1:30 PM EST to make an announcement about Tesla Service. CEO Elon Musk hinted the news will be good in a tweet yesterday. (live webcast) 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 25, 2:50 PM Tesla Motors (TSLA +3%) CEO Elon Musk sent another intriguing tweet earlier today. The exec says a new Tesla strategy will be unfurled tomorrow which Tesla owners (cars or stock?) will like. Musk also had a word or two for shorts: "Seems to be some stormy weather over in Shortville these days." 18 Comments [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 23, 9:58 AM Tesla Motors (TSLA +1.9%) sets new all-time highs in early trading as the momentum run for the automaker shows little sign of stalling. The company is in a relatively slow period of news as fresh updates on Model S production estimates aren't expected for months and Elon Musk's Twitter feed is quiet - so traders speculate the price action is partially influenced by a short squeeze.
