| 0:14.8 | Hey everybody Rob Mower here and today we are talking about a new survey on electric vehicle ownership from JD Power with some interesting implications for Tesla. We also have some news from Giga Berlin, as well as Fremont a couple of Tesla spotted |
| 0:19.6 | their under wraps and some insight into the new casting machine at Fremont. |
| 0:24.0 | And we have a few stories after that, including Weymo, directing some comments seemingly at Tesla. |
| 0:28.7 | Quick look at Tesla stock for the last day of trading for the week. |
| 0:31.2 | Tesla today managed to, after trading in the red most of the for the week Tesla today managed to after trading in the |
| 0:33.2 | red most of the day finish up 0.2% to 846. 64 cents the NASDAQ also |
| 0:39.7 | flipped positive towards the end of the day up 0.1%. |

| 1:18.9 | Anyway enough of the boring stuff. Let's get into today I want to start off with this JD Power survey which some of us |
| 1:23.9 | may roll our eyes at but I actually think is pretty insightful. So this is the first electric |
| 1:28.6 | vehicle experience ownership study by JD Power. They've given us a limited information here, but we can kind of cobble it together to make some conclusions. |
| 1:36.2 | First, they've looked at the percentage of EV owners that say that they will consider purchasing an electric vehicle in the future, |
| 1:41.6 | and then they've also composed this overall |
