As a fellow shareholder, I’m curious what your plan is from there. Just take the $420 and call it a day? Probably the route I’ll go, and then take the money and look for other opportunities.

My plan is to accept a swap into their private equity fund vehicle [+], and essentially hold forever. I don't blame anyone who takes the cash and runs, but I’ve been in since IPO and I’m going to ride this till the end.

Thanks, I haven't caught up to what the private equity plan is. My years to retirement can be counted on one hand, and we've way too much TSLA already for folks of our "maturity". I'll likely reduce our stake, but hold on to some for old-time's sake. Bought shortly after IPO, and it's treated us well, so I can't bear to sell all of it.

Solid plan! I'm still ~30 years to retirement, so different strokes. I totally feel you on how it's hard to part with :)
