| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Rob Maurer here, and today we are talking about a report from Electric |
| 0:11.5 | on Tesla planning layoffs and a so-called hiring freeze. |
| 0:15.3 | We'll talk about that. |
| 0:16.3 | We also have increased discounting in the United States. |
| 0:18.7 | It looks like Tesla has bumped that credit up or that discount up ahead of quarter end. |

| 1:02.3 | no selling unless there's something that changes later on tonight or if a form was delayed, |
| 1:06.7 | no selling on Thursday or Friday from any Tesla insiders. |
| 1:10.5 | So of course, the big question mark is going to be Tuesday, so we'll stop to wait or |
| 1:14.7 | sorry, we should be through Monday then now. |
| 1:16.8 | The big question will be Tuesday and if we see a form four for Tuesday, Wednesday or |
| 1:20.8 | Thursday tomorrow evening, but Tuesday was the big under performance. |
