Hey Reddit, I need some advice on managing a TSLA covered call position. I have a $285 strike call expiring 11/15. I made the mistake of selling a a CC on a stock I’m bullish on.
I sold the call on 11/6 (after earnings and election results) thinking most of the run was over…little did I know….it wasn’t even halfway yet… TSLA has been on a run and is now trading around $361 (just went up another $11 in after-hours trading!)
I really want to avoid assignment and hold onto my shares, but I’m weighing my options: 1. Rolling to a higher strike with the same expiration. 2. Rolling to a higher strike with a later expiration. 3. Letting it expire and selling a new call if the price drops.
Given the after-hours price jump, what would you recommend? I’ve attached screenshots for reference. Thanks in advance for any advance!

Note: it is deep ITM and expiration is a few days away.
I've been in this state with TSLA sold calls, and with sold puts, and was exercised 1-2 days early in both cases.
If you really want to keep those shares you want to roll soon. I have a $320 call I will be rolling tomorrow.
edit: i won't be rolling up that far or that high - it's TSLA and it could easily drop 10% in the next week (with or without Elon dumping more shares)
I don't make trading decisions based on after hours/before open price movement.
