Hello and welcome to the Friday October 13th 2017 edition of Tesla Daily on

official Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob Maower. Today we're talking

about the Model X Recall, as well as a fossil fuel company making a big investment in electric

vehicle charging. Tesla stock yesterday closed up 0.30% to $355.68, this compared to the Nasdac, down

to prevent the second row seats from moving forward in the case of a crash.

Tesla discovered this issue when doing internal testing, so they have not received any reports of this being an issue in the real world yet.

NHTSA or anything like that. This is Tesla being proactive and deciding that they found an issue and they want to

recall vehicles to correct this possible issue. In an email to possibly affected

owners Tesla said we are doing this out of an abundance of caution. We've seen Tesla do voluntary recalls like this in the past.

And interestingly, whenever this happens,

traders pick up on the word recall with Tesla
