Hey, we're going to grab our camera here, and today we've got a couple updates on Tesla

Energy and Solar, news on Tesla in China and Canada, and a few other items as well.

Quickly looking at the stock a little bit quieter today, but still a nice day, up 8-10s

of a percent to close at $233.19, although did fall throughout the day alongside the markets,

the NASDAQ finishing up a little bit less than a tenth of a percent on the day.

Make a reminder that tomorrow after market closed, Nvidia will be reporting their earnings,

which could affect the markets overall.

Alright, we're going to start off today with a couple of updates on Energy Storage.

The first is an exciting report from Shanghai Metal's Market.

They have been tracking worldwide energy storage deployments in the first half of 2023,

which they estimate at just over 72 gigawatt hours for that six month period.

They then break that total down by company, and their estimates put Tesla as the number

one seller of Energy Storage in the world in the first half of this year.

We've got Tesla at just over seven gigawatt hours deployed, which tracks with Tesla's

quarterly reports, which have indicated seven and a half gigawatt hours so far this year,

so at least a good start for the accuracy of the overall report here.

Historically data like this has been difficult to find, so it's nice to see some more efforts

to track this as this becomes a much bigger industry worldwide.

So these figures would suggest that Tesla's got a little bit more than 10% of worldwide

energy storage market share, which in the context of Tesla's EV market share might be

a little bit lower, but in context of overall automotive market share, energy storage would

actually be quite a bit higher.
