0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Rob Mauer here. Happy Friday. Today we've got a relevant report for Tesla |
0:11.8 | in India and potentially the future in the country for Tesla there. We also have a few |
0:16.2 | updates on FSD Beta, so news from the UAW and a couple other items as well. |
0:22.0 | Looking at the stock, really nice end to the week today, finishing up 3.7% to close |
0:25.8 | at $238.59. Well, the NASDAQ was up about 1% on the day today. Of course, we did have |
0:31.4 | Fed, Chairman Jerome Powell's comments today. Pretty much a reiteration of things we've heard |
0:35.8 | him say in recent FOMC meetings. I said we're prepared to further raise rates if appropriate |
0:40.4 | and tend to hold the policy at a restrictive level until we're confident that inflation |

1:12.6 | markets today if you know if anything, avoiding something more material, probably a positive. |
1:19.0 | So getting into news relevant to Tesla more specifically, we do have a report from Reuters |
1:24.1 | today that says that India, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter, |
1:27.7 | including a senior government senior Indian government official, have said that India is |
1:32.6 | considering a proposal that would allow electric vehicles that are imported into India to |
1:39.6 | be imported at a reduced tax. So currently for vehicles over $40,000, that is 100% import |
1:47.3 | tax, $70,000 for vehicles less than $40,000. So obviously, that's extremely prohibitive. Apparently, |
1:56.1 | this proposal would potentially reduce those taxes to as low as 15%. If the automaker that |
