Hey everybody, we're here. Welcome back to Tesla Daily. Today we're of course going

0:10.8

to go through some of Tesla's pricing updates the last couple of days. We've also got

0:14.0

more clarification on the changes to the EV tax credit coming at the beginning of next

0:17.9

year, news on the cyber truck, China sales, and a few other items as well.

Alright, checking in on the stock since we left off on Thursday, actually it's been

0:25.3

pretty stable. Tesla today down a third of a percent closing at $259.67, the Nasdaq

0:30.5

1:07.7

price on the long-range and the performance Model Y by $2,000 a piece, which will narrow

1:11.7

the gap between the rear-wheel drive and those other trims, which will obviously affect

1:15.5

the mix between those versions. So, more price cuts, obviously we'll have to wait and

1:19.5

see what happens with costs, especially here in Q4 as Tesla's production should be

1:22.9

significantly higher than it was in Q3, certainly. So, just from economies of scale,

1:27.3

better utilization, Tesla should see lower cost per unit in the fourth quarter,

1:30.9

plus any improvements in efficiencies, any impacts of raw materials and things like that,
