| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody Rob Maower here and today we're going to be talking about a new final rule that has been posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the |
| 0:14.8 | United States for occupant protection for vehicles with automated driving systems. |
| 0:19.4 | I hope this might sound a little bit boring, but as a part of this process, NHTSA has solicited and included feedback from automakers and other companies involved in the autonomous driving space. |
| 0:28.5 | So there are actually quite a few different comments in here directly from Tesla about how NHTSA is writing this policy. |
| 0:35.3 | Some of those comments may give us a hint at what Tesla has planned for the future. |
| 0:39.7 | After that and on theme we have an updated safety report from Tesla, we'll take look at and then I do want to revisit a couple of topics quickly from yesterday |
| 0:46.6 | Quick scheduling update before we get into those topics Tesla today did announce that the Q4 earnings report, as expected, will take place after market close on Wednesday, January 27th. |
| 0:57.0 | Generally, Tesla posts the financial results and a shareholder letter a few minutes after market close and then at 3.30 p.m. |
| 1:03.4 | Pacific time, 6.30 p.m. |
| 1:05.3 | U.C. they'll have a shareholder call which generally lasts about an hour so |
| 1:10.8 | a lot to look forward to there over the next couple of weeks |
| 1:12.8 | we'll definitely be doing a lot of earnings preview type of stuff. |
| 1:15.1 | Q4 reports are always a little bit bigger because they are the year-end report and |
| 1:18.8 | that means we should get at least a little bit of guidance on their outlook for 2021. We continue to at this |
| 1:24.9 | point only have rumors on the model S and the model X in terms of if they are |
| 1:28.3 | actually being refreshed or if production has restarted anything like that. If there is a |
| 1:32.3 | refresh Q4 would give them a really good |
| 1:33.8 | opportunity to talk about some of the key elements of that. So, I don't know, that's a line in the |
| 1:39.1 | sand at least or a date that we can look forward to in regards to the SNX as well. |
| 1:43.4 | All right, so first things first on this new policy from NHTSA. |
| 1:46.2 | This is a 146-page report. |
| 1:48.0 | I've done my best to read as much of it as I can. |
