to open a computer share account they need to verify you. so first you but a share or a few through it. set up the account then go from there.

for my transfer I needed to buy a share first or how many you want. takes 3-5 days for the shares to settle.

(forgive me it's been a year and a half) I remember them having good customer service helping me set it up.

while you wait you could buy from a broker and hold your IOU till CS is working. there won't be any funny business till squeeze. they are saving their tricks.

keep in mind this will be a week to a few months squeeze. you will miss the initial rocket if you want to grab some profits and run. that's out for you. but the real squeeze is going to be controlled. only 1% will touch the top.

I am personally out when I can pay off house, buy some acres and build another house and new truck. I won't see the top. I am going to be in this probably until November. (not financial advice) but reflect on TSLA and see what happened and how long it took.
