| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Wednesday November 29th, 2017 edition of Tesla Daily on |
| 0:11.4 | official Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob Mower. Today we're talking |
| 0:14.2 | about new reservations for Tesla Semi, a little bit of news on Uber and Weimo's legal battle, |
| 0:20.3 | and the valuation of SpaceX. |
| 0:22.6 | Tesla stock on Tuesday closed up 0.23% to $317.55, |
| 0:27.9 | this compared to the Nasdaq up 0.49%. |
| 0:30.7 | Supercharger network update, we are currently at 1,057 supercharging locations |

| 1:09.8 | DHL made a statement saying they quote, |
| 1:11.6 | intend to use the heavy duty Tesla trucks for shuttle |
| 1:14.4 | runs and same day customer deliveries in major U.S. cities. |
| 1:18.4 | D.H.L. also plans to test the electric trucks on longer runs and to evaluate its impact on driver safety and |
| 1:24.6 | comfort." End quote. So far this is what we've seen from the majority of |
| 1:28.5 | Tesla semi-reservation holders. They're placing orders for a small number of |
