Hello and welcome to the Monday November 13th

2017 in addition of Tesla Daily Unofficial Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob Mower. Today we're talking

about Model 3 production. Tesla stock on Friday closed flat at $302.99, this compared to the Nasdac, up 0.01 percent. On the week, Tesla was down 6 tenths of a percent compared to the NASDAQ down 3 tenths of a percent.

Supercharger network update, we are currently at 1,243 supercharging locations with one new station opening up in Kettleman City, California.

This station actually has 40 stalls, which makes it the largest in the United States.

This weekend ended up being pretty quiet for Tesla.

Not a lot of news to cover, so this episode will be a little bit brief. The only things that I wanted to touch on were a couple notes on model three. First, Tesla took the opportunity this weekend to give a demonstration of the model three, including driving to a few Wall Street

investors one of which was Tony Sakanagi from Bernstein. Afterwards he

issued an updated note to investors to describe the test drive process and

what his updated thoughts were on

model three. Tony has a price target of $265 for Tesla shares and he has not

updated his rating based on this new experience with model three.

In the note, Berenstein expressed issue

with the model three fit and finish

saying that it was relatively poor

and that they found issues with misalignment

with the glass roof, with body panels having gaps, rubber trim issues, and things like misaligned

seams in the interior ceiling of the car.

However, they did note that, quote, while we doubt that it would impact or even be noticed

by most prospective buyers, we do worry that poor overall

initial quality could undermine Tesla's brand and potentially overwhelm its service network.

In regards to the impact, I think that they're right.
