Hey everybody, Rob Mauer here should be a pretty quick episode today as we don't have

a whole lot of Tesla news.

We do have an estimated sales number for China for the month of February.

We'll take a look at that.

Also got an update on a very small recall, an accident involving a Tesla, and some new

autonomy permits being granted in California.

Tesla today was down 7.10% to $864.37, but a pretty decent overperformance to the market

of the NASDAQ was down 1.6% on the day.

Alright, let's hop right into those China numbers, so like we do most months, we're getting

an estimate here from Tesla China analyst, and I say estimate loosely because generally

these are spot on especially when they are coming after the end of the month, like they

are in this case.

I believe the accuracy in those circumstances has been a hundred percent, and in general

probably 80 or 90% so pretty high confidence that this number is accurate, and this account

is saying 28,000 for February 2022.

Now they always are looking at retail sales, so domestic China sales only, we'll get

the numbers from the China passenger car association officially reported in about a week,

that will come with export, those two combined add up to wholesale sales, which will be a lot

closer to the production level that we actually care the most about.

Anyway, assuming that this is pretty close to being accurate, if we put 28,000 in for

February 2022, we can see that month over month that would be a pretty decent increase,

up 45%.
