Hello and welcome to the Wednesday July 17th

2019 edition of Tesla Daily on official Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Maower, quite a few things to catch up on today.

I do apologize for missing yesterday's episode.

I actually did record half of it and then the Nurellink event started

and it went a little bit later than I thought it would

so I didn't have time to finish up the episode afterward. Nevertheless we will catch up on that

stuff today. Tuesday was a pretty quiet day overall still a couple of things that we'll talk about

but on Tuesday Tesla was down almost half a percent that was in line with the

NASDAQ and then today rebounding a bit up 0.98 percent to

$254.86 cents which compared to the NASDAQ on Wednesday today, down 0.46%.

Tuesday's news really came from a couple of Elon tweets.

He did address the surprising move to offer the Pearl White multi-coat as the base white saying,

quote, basic white adds too much service repair complexity.

Team convinced me better to go with Pearl White, end quote.

That's particularly interesting because one of the reasons that I had seen speculated and I thought made a lot of sense and kind of adopted that point of view was that perhaps the decision to switch to white was made from an easier service perspective or a less frequent service perspective.

This tweet doesn't necessarily rule that out because the

purl white could still be easier than the black, and adding a solid white would be

another color choice, which would add complexity.

But while this tweet doesn't necessarily contradict that idea, it doesn't go a long way in terms of offering support for that theory either.

So for me, this remains as a relatively confusing decision.

I'm sure there are reasons for it.
