Hey,

0:03.6

Thank you.

Hey, everybody.

Hey everybody Rob mower here and today we just have a few quick things to go through.

0:10.8

Pretty quiet day for Tesla overall overall as Elon Musk has decided

0:14.4

to leave Twitter for a little bit not necessarily bringing Tesla news to a screeching halt but definitely

0:18.8

having an impact. We talked late last week about Tesla potentially seeking out some land for a possible factory or something else in the UK.

in China.

1:10.1

Supercharger. info is where I like to get my tracking information for superchargers,

1:14.0

and they have the whole of Asia Pacific right now at just over 400 supercharging stations,

1:22.1

The average for a supercharger location

worldwide is about nine superchargers per station. I think over time that number
