| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Rob Mayer here. Welcome back to Tesla Daily. Today we have an assortment |
| 0:11.3 | of Tesla news to go through. We've got a downgrade on Tesla stock, an update on Tesla Power |
| 0:15.9 | Walls, a report on BYD and Tesla's partnership on batteries, and more. Right, looking at |
| 0:21.2 | the stock, Tesla today up 6.10% closing at $174.48 while the NASDAQ up almost half a percent. |
| 0:27.9 | So decent start to the week, all things considered with the macro news that we talked about |
| 0:31.0 | on Friday, which was of course the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Signature Bank this weekend |
| 0:35.7 | joining that collapse, the third biggest bank failure in US history. The Fed though on |
| 0:40.4 | Sunday releasing an update saying that all depositors at both of these banks will have |

| 1:17.0 | in these banks or anything like that. So they talk about shareholders, certain unscured |
| 1:21.4 | debt holders not being protected, senior management also being removed. So consequences, you know, |
| 1:26.6 | for the investors, consequences for management, but for the depositors, like we've talked about |
| 1:32.2 | a lot of startups, a lot of venture capital money with these banks. Hopefully that, you know, |
| 1:37.5 | doesn't cause a collapse of a lot of those companies. That being said, even with this backstop, |
| 1:43.0 | this has still affected rate expectations. So we talked about this going into last week. |
| 1:47.3 | And here we can see that the CME Group Fedwatch tool is now putting a 35% chance on no increase |
| 1:53.9 | at all. So this has dropped significantly from a week ago where we had a 35% chance almost of |
