0:06.0 | Let's get back to our David Faber with Elon Musk. |
0:11.6 | John, thank you, and yes, it is a rarity to have sort of a two-for, a nice little intermission. |
0:17.1 | Elon Musk joining me again here at the Gigafactory in Austin. |
0:21.6 | Thank you for coming back. |
0:23.6 | So many things we didn't get to. We were discussing Tesla, obviously. |
