| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody Rob Mower here and today we're mostly going to be talking about some |
| 0:11.0 | reporting over the last couple of days on |
| 0:12.8 | Panasonic's investment in Tesla's Gigafactory Nevada. A couple other new |
| 0:16.6 | stories to go through and of course we also have to talk about the stock price |
| 0:19.5 | Tesla stock continues to set new all-time highs today passing through the $2,000 stock price |
| 0:24.8 | mark for the first time. Although it does feel like a while ago at this point, Tesla stock |

| 1:13.2 | All right, so over the last couple of days we've had some news on Panasonic's investment |

| 1:26.0 | expected to exceed $100 million, Nake learned on Wednesday. |
| 1:30.0 | The investment will be made in Gigafactory 1, a battery plant in the US state of Nevada with 13 production lines. |
