I placed my order for my Cybertruck in November 2019. Purchased $300k in Tesla December 2019 with the goal of growing my investment enough to pay for the Tri-Motor Cybertruck. My investment grew to $3.3M.

In summary, I let Tesla borrow my money and in return the gave my a free Cybertruck on top of the returns. Investment advice: Buy where you shop and pay yourself.

That’s awesome! I only invest in real estate

I too placed my deposit in 2019, and 3 months ago I said I would pay for the CT trading TSLA options. I would have preferred to pay for it with TSLA puts, but I trade what the market gives me.

Thanks for sharing.

Wish I would have. I thought about it, but the run in the last week makes it a little easier to part with $108k invoice I got last night.

you would have preferred to pay for it by betting TSLA would go down?

Correct. It makes for a better story.

Wish I'd had $300k to invest in 2019, I rec'd my Model 3 in Nov 2018, but waited 6 mos to roll ALL IN with some old 401k money, at this point that 6/2019 investment has pretty paid for the Model 3 within 6 months, a Model Y Performance in 2020 and my Cybertruck delivered in May. Elon once again was genius in offering long time shareholders accelerated delivery. We are easily the best sales team he could ever hire!

It is easy to say, “I wish I had $300K” to invest in Tesla back in 2019. If you look back at its performance, Tesla was not considered by any stretch a high performing stock. It was retuning around 10% in total if you bought it 2 years earlier and was losing money depending on when you bought it.

I took money I rolled over from a 401K to my E*Trade account and purchased Wing Stop, NVIDA and Tesla. I wanted to invest more in individual stocks instead of mutual funds with my 401K from a previous employer.

I invest in companies I shop at or believe in personally. This allows me to have a longer view on them when things are not going well versus some stock I bought because I thought it was going to be a cool investment to make me some money.

Also, I take the mindset that I am paying myself and that I am an owner of the company. When I walk into Tesla I feel like I am the owner and I am there to check in on my investment.

At the end of the day, it is legalized gambling for grown folks…you just are betting more and you can’t predict anything. You can follow/ride trends. Every now and then, you get lucky and catch a fish. That is how I see it.

Go to the TMC forum options thread to find the gamblers.

That is a great story, congrats on the amazing return. I started day trading when everyone else did in the pandemic. I lost $300k in the first year, or about 1 Ferrari.

Thankfully my other non-stock gains were greater than my losses, but I learned a great lesson. Its mostly luck and a long term view that will give you the returns.

At the Cybertruck reveal in November of 2019 I still expected Tesla to go broke. In the seven weeks between then and when I took a flyer on a reservation - at a hundred bucks I wasn't exactly risking much - I had come around to thinking they might make it.

People quickly forget what a close-run thing that was. (Including all those people who suddenly wanted to backtrack on that crazy-bet pay package that Elon signed up for).

The big payouts come to those who have a conviction that almost no one else does. Takes both balls and brains.

My hat's off to you gentlemen who saw through the smoke and the noise and found a truth that rewarded you so handsomely!

Damn how's Wing Stop doing?

I mean, COVID fucked a lot of shit up too.

Naturally.

I'd like to get into options but I don't have a ton of money to gamble with. Even though I'm certain $TSLA is primed for the moon.
