Hey everybody Rob mower here and today we are with Dan Galves of Wolf Research Automotive

analyst here and you guys have been covering Tesla for of Wolf Research, Automotive Analysts, here.

And you guys have been covering Tesla for a while now.

I think your price target six something?

615.

615 right now.

How long have you guys been covering Tesla?

Well, I've been at Wolf for, you know, about 18 months now. We've been covering Tesla the whole time.

We actually cover the whole automotive industry industry like I work with a guy named

Rod Lash who was 25 years at Deutsche Bank he covers kind of more the legacy side of

the industry and I cover more that the tech side of the industry so I cover more the tech side of the industry so I cover

Tesla Neo Uber Lift and then a bunch of the kind of growthier auto supplier

so we're auto analysts but we try to take a kind of a broad view of the industry.

But we've, Rod and I were part of Tesla's IPO in 2010. Just a little bit of history. We actually wrote two reports on electrification of the vehicle in 2007 and 2008 and our conclusion was basically like this is a better technology and you know

once you can give the consumer enough driving range and once you can get the power train

costs down to the point where you know maybe the operating costs offset you know over a few years

your extra costs there's really no reason to buy anything else.

And we were way too early to talk about that.

And I think our forecast ended up like, you know, way too aggressive by mid-decade, but I think, you know, over time, we haven't really deviated from that view.

And it's really starting to look like it's the right view and so like I'm

glad to be talking to you now so essentially I've been covering Tesla since they came public in 2010.

Got it, okay.
