Hey everybody, Rob Meyer here. Happy Friday. Today we are talking about a pretty

0:10.8

incredible dashcam video of what appears to be a life-saving maneuver from a

0:15.8

Tesla vehicle. We're going to take a look at that. We do also have updates on

0:18.8

Cybertruck Project Thailand as we tend to do most days now and a few other

0:22.4

stories as well. All right, looking at the stock today, another challenging day

0:26.0

Tesla down 1.7% closing at $215.14. Sorry, 49 cents. Well, then has decked down

0:32.3

two tenths of a percent. So another underperformance looks like a bit of

0:35.5

recovery in the after hours. Not sure exactly if anything is driving that, but

0:39.1

probably not anything to read into too much relatively low volume. Of course

1:04.1

braking was able to reduce it very dramatically from what could have happened. So

1:08.8

as the poster here says, the driver of the car in this accident, which we could

1:13.3

look at in a second, said that she never saw this kid. The car break on its own.

1:17.0

Pretty sure the kid is going to be fine after this, after this minor collision,

1:21.1

which we won't watch the collision itself, but we'll just take a look at some

1:23.4

frames. And this person would almost certainly be facing a different outcome if

1:28.4

the car had not been able to do that. So most importantly, again, the driver never

1:32.2

saw the kid, the car stopping on its own. So let's just take a quick look at
