Hello and welcome to the Wednesday November 14th 2018 edition of Tesla Daily on

My name is Rob Mall where today we're discussing a couple of quick product updates across

Tesla's lineup.

Tesla stock on the day pretty strong performance overall finishing up 1.56% to $ 344 even per share as compared to the

Year over a year, these charge points have been increasing by more than 50%.

This seems to be forming as a new standard especially with Tesla coming on board

so it would not surprise me to see that growth right now accelerate from where it has

weird with this is that it does not sound like the model three will actually be

able to work with the current supercharger network until Tesla does some
