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. [View news story]
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. [View news story]
It is 817 am on the west coast. By now, everyone who cares, knows about the Barrons article. The stock of Tesal is still in triple figures.
More weekend buzz on Tesla Motors (TSLA) (previous): Shares will be on watch Monday following a Barron'scover 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. [View news story]
So Barrons is doing an article that Tesla stock is overvalued. Who cares? People and companies and financial 'experts' have been saying that since the stock opened at 18 bucks. If I would have listened them, I would not be as well off as I am today.
Why The Supercharger Network Is A Great Investment For Tesla [View article]
Excellent article. I do have one point of view though that I think the author missed on. "Many Model S buyers may not even know supercharging exists". IMO there is not one owner of a Tesla Model S that is not aware of the supercharging stations. Great article and very informative. I also liked the comments that followed.
More from Elon Musk (previous): The exec says 25% of people who test drive a Model S end up buying one, a higher ratio than it expected and a decent rate for a car just named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. Tesla Motors (TSLA -1.1%) will make another big announcement on June 20. If the past is prelude, look for some hints from Musk well before then. [View news story]
Andrew.... I find it hard to believe that S/A would allow your comment to post.
Secondly, Elon is not giving off a scum bag (sic) vibe. He knows how to play to a crowd. It's called showmanship and it's not a big deal. Plus, he makes the best car in the world.
May Auto Sales preview: Analysts expect the big Memorial Day weekend to have helped boost the monthly U.S. sales tally for automakers to the best level in 6 years as the allure of energy efficient models and easier credit terms helps to motivate buyers. By the numbers, Nissan (NSANY.OB), Volkswagen (VLKAY.PK), and Ford (F) are forecast to see the biggest Y/Y gains - while by segment full-size pickup trucks and compact crossovers are viewed as doing most of the heavy lifting. General Motors (GM) is pegged at a +250K unit month, while Toyota (TM) may have the lost the most market share. On the electric-vehicle front, a pricing war should lift sales a bit at the expense of profitability - while the Tesla Motors (TSLA) juggernaut rolls on. [View news story]

The Innovator's Trap - Inevitably, Tesla Will Face The Same Fate As Apple [View article]
Sir- According to your article, Tesla still has a long way to go..... and that's up. Just like their stock.
Also, every time Elon is asked about competition, EVERY TIME, he says that it is not only ok, but that he WELCOMES it. He wants EVERY SINGLE CAR on the road to be electric. Go Kings!
Expect Surprises In Tesla's Upcoming Supercharger Announcement [View article]
Watch out. Elon just may have TWO announcements. One about the super-chargers and one surprise announcement about another positive happening. Would anyone really put this beyond Elon?
Tesla Motors (TSLA) will triple its Supercharger coverage area by the end of the next month, according to CEO Elon Musk. The exec sees the network covering most of the major metropolitan areas of the U.S. by the end of the year. TSLA -0.9% premarket. (Video: Musk's talk at D11) [View news story]
Kid: "The exec sees the network covering most of the major metropolitan areas of the U.S......."
Coverage doesn't necessarily mean IN all of the cities IN ALL of the US. It means coverage in most of those areas. Example: Having a super-charger near the Orange County line in California and having one at the Ventura County Line (Beach Boys fans anyone?) will have coverage for Los Angeles. This will also count as coverage for Orange County, Los Angeles and Ventura. One super-charger takes care of three cities.
Tesla Motors (TSLA) confirms it will hold a conference call on Thursday at 1:30PM ET to make an announcement about the Tesla Supercharger Network. Speculation about the announcement has been swirling for weeks after CEO Elon Musk teased Twitter followers about the news then later delayed the announcement. [View news story]
On the repayment of its government loan, Tesla (TSLA) takes the opportunity in its press release to lob a few jibes at its competitors stating: "Following this payment, Tesla will be the only American car company to have fully repaid the government." Both General Motors (GM) and Chrysler still have outstanding balances remaining with the U.S. Treasury. [View news story]
"Ford Motor owes the government $5.9 billion it borrowed in June 2009, the same month GM filed for bankruptcy. By Sept. 15, Ford needs to start paying that money back. In a government filing, the carmaker said $577 million is due within the next year, and the full amount must be paid off by June 15, 2022".
