Hey everybody Rob now we're here happy, Friday, today we've got some new details on the

0:11.3

Cybertruck, including a pretty wild test that Tesla has completed, some price changes,

0:15.3

new info on Giga Mexico and a few other items as well.

0:18.6

Alright looking at the stock, the Rough Week, earnings week continues, down 3.7% today
