Hey everybody, Rob Bauer here. Happy Friday. Today we have a little bit of testimonies. It

0:11.5

should be a pretty quick episode, though, as a relatively light news day. We've got

0:14.6

an update on the cyber truck, a little bit of a sneak peek on what the frunk might

0:18.5

look like, as well as the wiper in action. Also got price cuts in Europe, some news on

0:23.2

a new Tesla energy entity, and a few other items as well.

0:27.1

All right, looking at the stock Tesla today, down about half a percent, maybe

but it looks pretty clearly like there is a hinge there at the base of the windshield.

1:09.0

And then it is seeming to include it the entire sort of front bumper there with the

1:13.6

headlights and everything as the opening for the frunk. So if we look at how that

1:19.2

compares to the prototype, the production beta prototype that we saw at investor day,

1:24.4

shouldn't be too surprising as we had previously talked about pretty significant

1:28.6

seams here. So basically what we'd be looking at presumably based off of this shot

1:34.0

would be this entire section opening up to a huge and glorious front
