It's Wednesday, August 24th. Welcome to Market Foolery. I'm Mark Wreath and joining me in studio today from

Million Dollar Portfolio, Jason Moser. Jason, happy to have a year. They know.

And we've got a lot to talk about together. Of course. We haven't been one-on-one in the studio in a minute or two. I've missed you. It's all Taylor-Muckerman. It's all Simon Ericsson's. Ugh. Well, and these are nice surprises too, like often times I'm on the schedule for

Mondays foolery I basically I'm on call for the rest of the week if we come into

a situation where we need some help and we kind of wrap it up on Fridays

with Motley full money so you know when I come in and I get that slag message from you

asking me to join you for market foolery, you know,

my days kind of made.

A little bit brighter.

I like it.

And we're all the better for it. So earning season is slowly winding down here. So we're going to take a look at the news today. One of the big headlines out there is about Tesla. Tesla announced that they have created a larger battery for their cars, which means that the

Tesla Model S is now the third fastest car in the world. It goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds.

The model X goes faster as well with the addition of this newer battery.

Jason, before we dive too deeply into Tesla's business and what this means for it, I guess my question

for you is does it matter?

Does it matter that Elon Musk's cars go fast?

Doesn't matter that Tesla is making a bigger battery.

Why should I care about this?

So yes, it matters and no, it doesn't.

I guess when you're talking about this car being the

fastest car in the world I care exactly 0.0 where that's concerned. I mean I

could not care less and I don't think I mean perhaps that's a testament to the to the capacity of the battery I guess
