| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Monday September 25th |
| 0:09.7 | 2017 edition of Tesla Daily Unofficial Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob |
| 0:13.5 | Maower. Today we're doing something a little bit different. We have our first |
| 0:16.6 | interview on Tesla Daily. I'm super excited about it. Can't wait for you guys to |
| 0:19.8 | hear it. We're going to skip the news and I will cover anything that we missed today. |
| 0:23.0 | There was not a lot that came out this weekend, but we'll cover any of that tomorrow on Tuesday, September 26th episode of Tesla Daily. |
| 0:30.0 | Friday was a tough day for the stock though. |
| 0:32.0 | We closed down 4.20% to $351.9 |
| 0:36.1 | compared to the NASDAQ up 0.07%. That's a big drop so I did want to cover that |
| 0:40.4 | really quickly here. We'll go into more detail probably tomorrow, but I think the biggest |
| 0:44.0 | driver of the stock decline on Friday was probably the news about Solar City reaching an agreement, a settlement agreement |
| 0:49.7 | with the Justice Department, over claims that Solar City had overstated its cost on |
| 0:54.9 | installation which allowed them to receive inflated grant payments. |
| 0:57.9 | So the settlement was for $30 million. It was not an admission of guilt. Solar City |
| 1:02.1 | is still denying the claims by the Justice Department, |
| 1:05.0 | however they did reach the settlement. |
| 1:06.0 | My super quick opinion is that I thought the stock was oversold on this news. |
| 1:10.0 | So I did take this opportunity finally on Friday to convert some of the stock that I had been talking about into long-term call options. |
| 1:17.0 | Again, not advice for anyone else out there. However, I will probably be looking to continue leveraging as we approach model 3 ramp. |
| 1:24.7 | Really quick supercharger network update so we added nine locations over the weekend |
| 1:27.9 | to bring our total up to 976 supercharging locations. |
| 1:31.4 | I will cover the details of those new locations tomorrow. |
