Welcome to the Wednesday December 13th, 2017 edition of Tesla

Daily Unofficial Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob

Maower. Today we are talking about the Tesla Model X.

Tesla stock on Tuesday with another strong finish up 3.68% to

$341.3 cents as compared the NASDAQ down 0.19.

Supercharger network update, we are still at 1,080 supercharging locations.

From a news perspective yesterday and today have been relatively quiet and the news that I have

found interesting has been centered around model X. Model X is something that we don't

talk about a lot on this podcast actually so I figured we would spend some time

today covering the news and digging in a little bit more into Model X.

On Monday, the Model X received a pair of accolades, one from Forbes and one from Strategic Vision, which is a consulting company with many Fortune 500 company clients.

Starting with Forbes, Forbes named the Tesla Model X 100D, the 2018 Vehicle of the year.

Forbes wrote, quote, so much about Tesla's X100D

just plain makes sense.

Not only its lack of emissions,

but its semi-autonomous driving mechanism,

which when all the bugs are worked out, should be the way millions of people get to work and back, go to the store, and live their lives.

Unlike some lesser electrics we've tested and frowned or yond at since the 2000s,

Tesla makes every internal combustion vehicle on the

highway seem like a clunky clumsy relic of the 20th century when men and women

replace their horses with vehicles that belched, burped, roared, and required gasoline to do their thing."

So some really positive press there from Forbes.
