Hey everybody, Rob Malware here, and today we're going to be doing a little bit of previewing

for Tesla's Q3 earnings called tomorrow, and we did actually have a handful of other

interesting news so we'll hit that first and quickly start off with stock here.

Tesla up 410s of a percent on the day today, closing at $254.92, actually a nice outperformance

with the NASDAQ closing down a quarter percent, but of course not super meaningful as we had

an earnings tomorrow, which will have a much greater impact.

So we'll go through the estimates and preview a little bit here later on, but first want

to touch on a couple pieces of news.

One big one, BMW has announced that they are going to be adopting the North American

charging standard or NASS to allow the vehicles access to the supercharger network in the

US and Canada in early 2025.

So yet another automaker jumping on board.

I think we've just still got a couple of major holdouts from the likes of Volkswagen and Toyota,

but the dominoes continue to fall.

A couple of big ones here with BMW and Hyundai Kia over the last week or so.

So good to see that.

Interestingly, they did not mention, like we have heard from other automakers, an adapter.

So a lot of other automakers have mentioned an adapter for NASS prior to the adoption or

the integration rather of NASS into their vehicles, but through this press release, no mention

of that from BMW.

So we'll see, they might have just left that out, but kind of an interesting difference

between the announcements, but of course for BMW, this will cover the BMW brands as well
