Summary
I'm on vacation this week but I've got a special show for you while I'm gone. I've got audio you've probably never heard from Tesla's very first Fremont Factory open house event in 2011. Take a listen to hear how almost everything Elon Musk said back then came true. Plus, if you missed it last year or it's been long enough that it'll feel new again, my interview with angel investor and Tesla insider Jason Calacanis. Enjoy!
