Hey everybody, Rob Mauer here. Happy Friday. Today we've got a pretty quiet test on

Tuesday, so it should be a pretty quick episode. But we do have some interesting updates

from Volkswagen. Talk a little bit more about Kia's EV Day that we mentioned earlier

this week. Got some details on the Cybertruck, the semi, and a few other items as well.

Alright, looking at the stock, not the best day for Tesla today, down 3% to close the

bit more context, they've actually seen growth on their EV business. Let me get this centered

here. They did increase EVs to about 210,000 sales in the third quarter. So that's actually

a 41% increase year over year. And I do want to actually pull in a little bit more context

because although Bloomberg kind of chopped this quote out, it was part of a longer update

from Volkswagen, which said that quote, despite the current general general reluctance

in the European market to buy battery powered vehicles, we gained a market share and remained

at market leader in this segment. However, our order intake is below our ambitious targets
