Hey everybody, Rob Mauer here. Welcome back to Tesla Daily. Today, we've got more details

on Tesla's expansion plans for GigabroLin. Also got updates on the Model Y, the Supercharger

Network, some macro items to discuss, and a couple other things as well. One of those

other things, of course, the stock Tesla today down 5% to close at $197.08. This is

the first time since June of 2021, so almost a year and a half ago, that Tesla is closed

below $200 per share. Of course, this was a significant underperformance from Tesla

today, as the NASDAQ was up about 9-10th of a percent. So some pretty rough days here

for the stock. It's a tumultuous period of time with Elon's Twitter acquisition, a lot

of his Twitter activity focused on that, and politics, especially today with midterm

elections tomorrow. So it's pretty easy to point to that and say that that's the reason

for Tesla being down today. Maybe I'm not willing to make that conclusion myself. Ultimately,

I don't think Elon's political leanings or tweets are lack thereof about politics

have much impact on the fundamental value of Tesla as a company, and over the long term

as an investment, that's really all that matters. Now, you may have a point of view that

Elon is restricting his total addressable market by being more engaged in politics, and

therefore that alters the fundamental value of Tesla as a company. Maybe I've said before

I wish Elon would be a little bit less divisive in terms of how he constructs his communications,

and even if I wish sometimes he would keep some of his thoughts to himself, I don't

think it's fair to criticize him for sharing his opinions. And it seems all too quickly

that people forget that some of the characteristics that lead to behavior like this are the same

characteristics that have led Tesla's SpaceX, etc. to tremendous success. Trying to keep

this family friendly here, but Elon's IDGAF attitude should not be a surprise to anybody.
