| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, we're up now. We're here and today we've got a couple of updates on Tesla |
| 0:11.1 | in China, including additional discounting that Tesla has added. We also got a request |
| 0:15.8 | from Tesla to the FCC for a confidentiality extension. We've got the Tesla Design Studio |
| 0:21.8 | opening up in Thailand to look at that and a couple other items as well. |
| 0:26.9 | Taking out the stock to start things off, Tesla down 3%, 3.2% on the day-to-day, closing |
| 0:31.1 | up $174.4. Decent under performance, the NASDAQ down just half a percent, I think probably |
| 0:37.0 | relating to the discounting that we'll talk about here in a second. Before we get into that, |
| 0:41.5 | we did have some form fours that were filed this evening. Nothing Elon related, so we |
| 0:45.7 | had three of them. They were from Drew, Zach, and then Tesla's chief accounting officer. |
| 0:50.9 | Normal options, vesting activities, so nothing really to discuss further with that pretty |
| 0:55.9 | standard business stuff going on there. We'll get into the Tesla China discount that |
| 1:01.4 | report here on Waxen, Waxen, not sure exactly how that is pronounced, but Tesla on December |
| 1:07.8 | 7th today has launched new round of price reduction plans, which will take place from |
| 1:12.2 | December 7th through December 31st. The specific plan is to directly reduce 6,000 RMB when |
| 1:18.7 | picking up an existing car in inventory. This will go on top of the insurance discounts |
| 1:24.9 | that we had previously discussed. As a reminder, those ran from November 8th. There was an |
| 1:31.3 | 8,000 RMB discount up until November 30th. It does sound like Tesla had extended that |
| 1:36.6 | slightly through December 10th, and it sounds like part of the reason for that may have |
| 1:41.0 | been related to difficulty delivering vehicles that would have been expected to be delivered |
| 1:46.0 | within that window due to some of the COVID lockdowns that had happened. Like we had talked |
| 1:52.2 | about, that was also a possibility with the insurance data that we got earlier this week. |
| 1:57.7 | Maybe some of that has affected the number of cars that Tesla was able to have show up |
