Hey everybody, Rob Manor here. Happy Friday. Today we are going to be talking about some

new comments from Elon Musk on the Cybertruck. We've got updates on Gigatexis and Gigamexico.

The UAW has expanded their strike and a few other items as well.

Alright, starting off with the stock, Tesla today down 4.2%, not quite 4.20, but 4.2%

closing at $244.88 on the day. Significant underperformance, the NASDAQ only down a tenth

of a percent today, but if we look at the stock market for the week, it was actually the

worst week for the NASDAQ since March, so about six months or so. Not a great week,

the NASDAQ was down 3.6% for the week, so this is actually the third straight negative

week for the NASDAQ. So the market's actually been pretty tough out there. Tesla has been

holding up pretty well during that period of time, although the underperformance today.

Tesla over the last month, up about 3.3%, the NASDAQ down about 3.7%. So just always going

to keep that context in mind as we look at Tesla, despite, again, that are performance

for today.

Alright, I want to start off actually with Gigatexis. We'll talk about Elon's comments

on the Cybertruck here in a second, but we've gotten an update from the Austin Business

Journal on a presentation that was given by Jason Shahan of Gigatexis. Tesla is director

of manufacturing at Gigatexis. A couple of updates came out of this, not a whole lot

of new information, but noted that Tesla now employs 20,000 people at Gigatexis, making

it the second largest private employer in the region so far, second to HEB, I believe,

which has just over 20,000, so Tesla should be surpassing that to become the largest employer

in the Austin area pretty soon. So this count is actually going to continue to rise,

as I mentioned there.
