| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Rob now we're here. Welcome back to Tesla Daily. Today we've got a huge |
| 0:11.0 | milestone for Tesla's first production cyber truck and a number of other stories, including |
| 0:14.9 | updates on GigabroLin, advertising, a couple of news items on Tesla's board of directors, |

| 1:21.4 | Now the little bit of debate left would be if this is actually a release candidate, if |
| 1:25.0 | this is truly a vehicle that could be and maybe eventually will be delivered to customers. |
