Hello and welcome to the Thursday September 13th 2018 edition of Tesla Daily on

official Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Maower.

Today we're catching up on a couple of pieces of news

related to model three production and deliveries for Q3.

Relatively mild action for the stock today,

downtime that is scheduled for September for the last month of the quarter.
