| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Rob Mauer here, and today we are going to be talking about some rumors |
| 0:10.6 | out of China on Tesla's next generation platform. |
| 0:12.8 | We also got a couple of updates on FSD, some pricing, and market news. |
| 0:17.1 | We've got a sales update from Ford, and more. |
| 0:19.6 | Not too much going on with the stock today, Tesla down 1.1% to close at $192.58, while the |
| 0:24.7 | NASDAQ was down half a percent on the day. |
| 0:27.4 | So we'll get right into the news we've got reports out of China today from 36KR, covered |
| 0:31.7 | here by Cena Finance, about Tesla's next generation vehicle plans. |

| 1:05.7 | To track towards that, and I think to have any hope of actually getting to 20 million |
| 1:08.7 | by 2030, you've got to track kind of at least towards that, if not above that. |
| 1:12.7 | But that would put you in an 8 million vehicle run rate sometime in early 2027, so about |
| 1:16.4 | 4 years from now. |
| 1:17.7 | As we have talked about, right now Tesla is at about a 2 million vehicle per year run |
| 1:21.4 | rate. |
| 1:22.4 | That'll keep scaling up a bit with current products, and then you layer in the Cybertruck. |
