    Q: I mean Tesla stock is down in the last six months. What's next for the company?

    You know the stocks go up and down but what really matters is are we making and delivering great products that the Tesla products are outstanding. Last year the model Tesla Model Y was the best selling car of any kind in the world. So it's about 1.2 million units. It was best selling car despite being I think around 50% more expensive than the next best selling vehicle of any kind, not just electric. So I think …

    Q: The first question is what is the status on the roadster?

    With respect to the roadster? We've completed most of the engineering and I think there's still some upgrades we want to make to it. But we expect to be in production with Royce for next year. Great. It'll be something special, like a Hall of famer, I think. Fantastic.

    Q: What can you tell us about its current development status?

    Well, we're aiming for a demonstration at the end of this year. I mean, the Roadster is not something that's going to meaningfully affect, say, the financials of the company. This is too small relative to other programs. It is very cool. Hopefully we're able to do a demo at the end of this year, but early next latest.

    Q: Are you still doing the roadster?

    Yes, eventually. We're getting close to demonstrating the prototype and I think this will be. One thing I can guarantee is that this product demo will be unforgettable. Unforgettable?

    Let’s just say that this demo will be a BANGER, probably metaphorically, though some chance literally
