Hey everybody, we're out here and today we're going to be talking about Tesla's influence

on competition, particularly BYD as they've reported their first quarter earnings report,

so we'll compare that to Tesla's.

We've also got some interesting headlines involving Elon in a court case today.

We'll talk a little bit more about a possible Tesla factory in South Korea and a couple

other items.

Nice rebound for Tesla stock today finishing up 4.2% to close at $160.19, the NASDAQ with

a strong day as well up to 2.4%.

And after hours off to a pretty interesting start with Amazon, initially spiking up 8%

after reporting earnings, but now as the call has started, dropping back to basically even,

not sure what's going on there as it's happening as I'm recording, so maybe we'll keep

an eye on that for tomorrow.

Alright, getting into Tesla news, there wasn't a whole lot today.

Most of the headlines around Tesla relating to a court case about a fatal autopilot accident

back in 2018.

So this is one that we've talked about.

We don't need to go through all the details here, but essentially the family is saying that

there was a software failure relating to autopilot, Tesla is saying that the driver wasn't paying

attention and was playing a video game prior to the crash.

But the reason this is surfacing in the news today is the plaintiffs are requesting to

depose Elon Musk as a part of this lawsuit about statements he had previously made about

autopilot.
