0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Rob Maurer here, and today we've got some big and exciting news on charging |
0:11.6 | infrastructure. |
0:12.6 | We've also got updates on the Model X, CyberTruck, Project Highland, and a couple other |
0:15.9 | items as well. |
0:17.4 | Not a bad day for the stock, all things considered the NASDAQ down about 9.10% to settle down |
0:22.1 | just 2.10% of a percent, closing at $251.49. |
0:26.5 | Alright, so the big news for today, major hotel chain brand Hilton has announced that |

1:07.2 | bear some of those costs as well. |
1:09.0 | Now you may have noticed that they did say up to 20,000, that's always a little bit of |
1:12.6 | a red flag, but they do say, later on in the announcement, that there will be at least |
1:16.4 | 6 chargers at each of these selected 2,000 hotels. |
1:20.4 | So that's at least 12,000, I would expect that they do actually scale this all the way |
