| 0:00.0 | It's EV News briefly for the second of September. Everything EV in less than five minutes. |
| 0:05.1 | If you haven't got time for the full podcast, that a happy start of a brand new week. Let's get into this. |
| 0:10.8 | Well, first of all, Tesla is expanding charging in New York City, in Queens, actually, and they're not doing it in any half measures. |
| 0:18.7 | They're buying the land rather than leasing it or renting it off somebody, |
| 0:22.2 | $18 million for a parking lot that currently has 55 regular parking spaces and three more accessible |
| 0:29.4 | spots. So it's not the biggest piece of land. That's what $18 million gets you're in Queens |
| 0:33.5 | for a supercharging site. And I would imagine, as long as they can get the power in to that |
| 0:38.5 | site, depending on where they put the power cabinets, they can take up a little bit of room. |
| 0:42.2 | You'd probably see about the same amount of supercharger stalls. Like I say, lots of conditions |
| 0:46.1 | on that, but Tesla don't do it by half measures, do they? And so when the supercharger site |

| 1:26.9 | of people. He talked about how they're going to make the roadster. Then the yes and the X and the three political and stuff. And that endeared him to a lot of people. He talked about |
| 1:27.7 | how they're going to make the roadster. Then the S and the X, then the three in the Y. And then |
| 1:32.1 | not specifically naming them at the time, of course, but segment vehicles. Then he, in 2016, |
| 1:38.1 | talked more about grid scale storage, self-driving technology, a future where your car could even make money for you. |
