11:32.....new Roadster (in a rather beautiful looking orange/red paint job).....Tesla Semi.....
11:33 Admitting how difficult it is to manufacture a car....(duh)..Talking about when they acquired the NUMMI factory...
11:35 2nd or 3rd largest building in the world by footprint he says..."a giant cybernetic collective".
11:36 Designer the car is easy....building it is hard (duh again)...(he stumbles on his words a lot...a bit painful to listen to)
11:37 Talking about new factory in China..showing pictures of construction...says it will be done by year end. Says it will be size of Freemont and Gigafactory combined.
11:38 Talking about how 2019 will be the year of the Solar Roof and Power Wall (LOL). Talked about how he felt he aged 5 years in 2018 alone it was so tough.
11:41 Had to decide whether to build cars or Solar Roof/Power Wall in 2018..so 2019 will be the year this is expanded.
11:43 Talking about SuperCharging network now.
11:44 People heckling him about places that need SuperCharger. Says there's going to be a SuperCharger in Saskatchewan SOON...He promises! (LOL)
