Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the Tuesday, September 12th, 2017 edition of Tesla Daily Unofficial Tesla

Podcast.

My name is Rob Mauer.

Today we're talking about updates to Tesla's supercharging strategy,

model three production line,

and just a ton of news from other automakers on their EV plans.

So I'll get to as much of that as I can today. If not, we'll finish it up in tomorrow's episode.

In case you missed it yesterday, it was a heck of a day for Tesla stock, finishing up 5.91%, or $20.29 cents to $363.69, this compared to the NASDAQ up just 1.13%.

We'll talk in a minute on what I think drove that.

However, I just wanted to share a little anecdote.

I was a little bit frustrated yesterday because I

I intended on Friday to convert some of my stock holding to

a long-term call options or leaps. So I planned to do this later in the day on Friday as there was a dip in the afternoon on the stock.

But I got called into a meeting around 2.30, the market closes at 3.

And I got back to my computer at about 2 and I did not have time to make the adjustments to my portfolio that I was hoping to.

I've kind of been waiting for a while to make this change in Friday with the, you know, kind of a slow day with no news and

Mondays having trended pretty well for us recently.

My intent was to do that on Friday, but sadly I did not have time. I did have time to sell one small put option right at the close at 259, so not a total loss there but still exciting to see the

stock up almost 6% especially with the NASDAQ only up 1%. If any of that

terminology leaps, puts, calls, whatever sounds foreign to you.

Those are options trades.
