Tesla Motors IPO unlikely to come before late 2010 — Autoblog Green

Thoughts? I'm not sold on the electric car yet, but the Tesla is the exception to that rule. Might be a once in a lifetime buy in on the floor of a cutting edge company. They may very well be the ferarri of 2040.

I guess we should see what the IPO, if and when it comes, price is going to be.

i think if its under $10, i'll pick up at least a couple dozen shares.

titan22 · 11-20-2009, 11:55 PM

i'll only buy shares if they start trying to build a larger u.s. market.

i saw a recent add on yahoo that these cars were being sold in denver with something like a 40% dealer rebate.

unfortunately there isn't a big name for tesla in the states.

Tesla, BrightSource IPOs could be late 2010 | Reuters looks like we got a year or so to worry about this coming up.

titan22 · 12-07-2009, 03:54 PM

titan22 · 02-02-2010, 11:28 PM

cool cars. but it's a small market cap. they either wont have many shares to offer or they will be spendy.

2000 cars a year isn't that many. i'm curious to do more research though.

hrm, maybe a big delay now.... plane crash killed half of them today

Looks like June 28th is the day.
Tesla Motors files for $178 million IPO - MarketWatch

briansol · 06-29-2010, 04:25 AM

$17 IPO opening
TSLA is the ticker.

I'll be interested to see the faceplant to 13

and then maybe consider jumping in with a handful of shares.

briansol · 06-29-2010, 09:20 PM

i guess i was completely wrong... even in today's 'crash' it still climbed like crazy.

titan22 · 06-30-2010, 01:01 PM

i was watching this all day yesterday. it opened up, dipped, then gradually went up throughout the rest of the day. it's an interesting stock and interesting company. if they can get their cars down to $50k and oil goes up to $4/gallon, this could be a $40 stock in a year.

titan22 · 06-30-2010, 01:49 PM

i was watching this when the market opened. talk about intense. the buy gaps were incredible. the market makers are going to profit many millions on this, and a lot of people will get caught holding the bag for the short term. too many people saying, "omg i gotta have this, i don't care what the price".

proceed with caution. i expect somewhat of a pullback from todays high.

briansol · 07-01-2010, 09:09 PM

Yup. i'm glad i didn't jump in. seems like the hype was already started to wear off.

going to watch this for a while.

there's just too much debt for me to feel comfortable jumping in big on this. But at the same time, this might be MSFT in 1977..... a hole in the wall with a lot of debt and expensive ass products that the average person can't afford.....

titan22 · 07-03-2010, 02:55 AM

i'm going to wait and see how many cars they sell. check their website, they are taking pre-orders for some cool ass cars. however, if they can't get costs down and clean up the balance sheets, there are going to be a lot of issues.
