Hello and welcome to the Wednesday October 9th

2019 edition of Tesla Daily on official Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob Maower. Today we're talking

about a Consumer Reports article on Smart Summon, as well as Blackouts in California, and

a handful of other news and notes. Tesla Stock continued its overperformance for the week today

though it did taper off a little bit in the afternoon compared to the general markets

but for the day it finished up 1.9 percent compared to the Nasdaq up 1 percent and

for the week Tesla's up about 5.6% compared to the NASDAQ, which is down 1%.

We'll start off today with an article from Consumer Reports on Smart Summon.

It was actually published yesterday, but today it's making the rounds through other media outlets.

The title of the article is, quote,

Tesla's Smart Summon Performance doesn't match marketing hype, end quote.

It then opens by reading quote, consumer reports doesn't match marketing hype, end quote.

It then opens by reading, quote,

Consumer Reports tested Tesla's recently

launched SmartSumen feature on our model three

and we found that the automation was glitchy

and at times worked intermittently without a lot of obvious benefits for consumers."

End quote.

Then there is the general context about what the feature aims to do, as well as some of the

warnings and limitations that Tesla communicates.

Then of course the acknowledgement of NHTSA saying, quote,

Smart Summon has drawn the attention of US regulators.
