| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody Rob Mower here and today we are continuing to talk about the latest news on Tesla's production status in Fremont and then we do have a couple |
| 0:13.9 | other topics to cover but that'll be the focus for today. |
| 0:16.5 | Definitely a lighter news day on the topic today than yesterday. |

| 1:03.6 | or providing services of use to others is extremely honorable. |
| 1:07.0 | I have vastly more respect for someone who takes pride in doing a good job |
