| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Friday September 21st 2018 edition of Tesla Daily on |
| 0:11.8 | official Tesla Podcast. My name is Rob Maower today we're catching up on 2018 in later this afternoon. So I don't know what Tesla stock is doing right now. My best |
| 0:23.8 | guess would be fighting somewhere around 300, but we'll catch up with that on |
| 0:27.4 | Monday and if there happens to be any breaking news today we'll also catch up on |

| 1:11.6 | I am doubtful that when he left Apple after four years that it made |
| 1:15.1 | headline news on CNBC. Though I guess if there was one other company |

| 1:21.8 | other comment that I would make |
| 1:22.8 | is that Tesla has more than one VP of global supply chain. |
