| 0:00.0 | Hello and |
| 0:07.0 | welcome to the Tuesday, February 13th, 2018, |
| 0:10.0 | edition of Tesla Daily, on official Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob Hour and today we are talking |
| 0:14.7 | a little bit more about the Q4 earnings report looking a little more closely at the financials. |
| 0:18.9 | Tesla stock on Monday closed up 1.71% to $315.73, this compared to the NASDAQ up 1.56%. |
| 0:27.0 | Supercharger network update, we are currently at 1,161 supercharging locations with one new station opening up in Washington State. |
| 0:35.1 | Okay, so before we get back into Q4 earnings, I did want to discuss something that I meant |
| 0:39.5 | to yesterday and that was the Falcon Heavy launch. |
| 0:42.8 | By now I'm sure everybody knows that that was extremely successful for SpaceX |
| 0:46.4 | and a very impressive landing simultaneously of the two side boosters for Falcon Heavy. |

| 1:14.9 | rooms on posters as the car that they dream about and aspire to own someday. |
| 1:19.9 | And I think the fact that there is now a Tesla Roadster that was launched into space that will be orbiting around the solar system for basically forever just continues to add to the positive characteristics of Tesla's brand in terms of being the technology leader, being inspirational, being unique, and even a little bit just being fun. |
| 1:41.0 | The fact that there's just now a Tesla Roadster just in space |
| 1:44.3 | hanging out with a space suit in it, it's just cool. Like there's nothing else you can say about it. It's just really cool. |
| 1:49.9 | I think I read that the Falcon Heavy launch was the second most watched live stream on YouTube in history. |
| 1:55.8 | So from an exposure perspective, I think that is obviously extremely helpful having that amount of impressions. |
| 2:01.3 | Obviously, the people that are watching that are probably |
