Hey, Rob Maower, here, and this will be a pretty short episode.

Hey everybody, Rob Maower here, and this will be a pretty short episode.

Not a whole lot going on today, but we do have some news on model Y

and model 3 as well as an update on the fire situation in California as some of

those evacuations have happened relatively close to Fremont so we'll check in

on that other than that I'm spending most of today

prepping for tomorrow's episode. We'll start here with the fires I have gotten some

questions on if these California fires would potentially impact Tesla's

operations at their Fremont factory.

So if we look at a map and we look at where the fires are occurring,

where the evacuation orders and warnings are,

we can see that that is happening relatively close to Fremont

to the southeast, but as of yet no evacuation order or warning applies to the location of Tesla's factory.

As we may guess, it would be unlikely for that to happen because of how industrialized that area is, and we can see that the closest

evacuation warning to Fremont runs up against Interstate 680 so that acts as

a nice barrier a fire protectant for Tesla's operations there.

So there should be no concern, at least as far as operating the factory goes.

Now if we think about the workforce, obviously some of them may live in these areas that

are under evacuation orders or warnings, but I'm sure Tesla will figure out a way to manage through things like that.

And some of these evacuation warnings are already being lifted, for example, about an hour ago, the warning for Santa Clara County which is just

south of Fremont Alameda County was lifted. So obviously unfortunate

circumstances but I don't expect a material impact to Tesla's operations from
