So it's just on speakers that basically what we do. Yeah, okay. We'll just plug it in. That your mics will eat it once you plug it into that adapter.
people hear me? I think they can hear me. Hopefully so. That's how it sounds.
>> Do you want to test the audio with that function to be -- >> Yeah, it should work. I think this is working.
Great. Yes, it's working. All right. All right. You get ready? You want to have a drink of water?
a deep breath. Great, let's go. You good? Yeah. Sure. Yeah, thanks a lot. Alright, we're ready to go here. Yup. Okay.
- The production line's moving. - It's just such a great thing to watch. - Yeah. - All right. - We're gonna get started in just a second. Just a second. - Is this live? - Live. Great. - Yeah. - Okay. - Yeah, we wanted to do it live. (laughing)
I'm ready when they are. I'll tell them we're live on Twitter spaces too.
Carl, thank you. I am here with Elon Musk. He's getting everything ready on Twitter spaces, so join us there as well. But of course, you can just watch us live here at the Gigafactory in Austin. Thank you for allowing us to be here. You're welcome. It's quite something to just sit and watch.
for quite some time. Yeah, this is actually where I don't actually have an office here. I either walk the floor or I hold meetings in this room. Okay, and this room allows me to see what's going on with production when I'm holding meetings. Is there one particular production that you focus on when you're here or that you sort of your eyes
always go to or you actually walk over to? Well this is the end of line that we're seeing here. So if cars aren't moving that means there's some blockage upstream and then I can go and see what that blockage is. So I think we might be on a break right now but
If you're going to end up lying, it's not moving. That means there's something upstreeting this wrong. Got it. Well, it's been amazing just to walk around the facility a bit and get a sense for the size. All right, you just finished your annual meeting. You took a lot of questions from a very eager audience.
like most of it you've shared before but there was some news and I want to start there advertising you got a big applause you didn't sound like you're going to advertise that much but you did at least seem to open the way to saying okay we might consider doing some advertising why well I mean I believe in listening to listening to
shareholders. I was surprised by the level of enthusiasm for advertising, since we were not historically done that. But perhaps there's some good logic to it in that if we're simply saying that information by I say the Tesla Twitter account or my Twitter account, we're somewhat preaching
to be converted and not reaching people that are not already convinced essentially. So I think they're probably going to have a good point. I think it's worth a try and we'll see how it works. Do you have any idea how you'd like to try it or what that would involve? Well, I have some
general thoughts about advertising that, you know, if advertising is informative and entertaining, then it can start to approach content. So I think sometimes advertising is a
perhaps non-informative or perhaps in some cases a bit misleading. And in fact, we've lost some advertisers on Twitter because community notes applies to advertising too. And so if somebody advertises something that isn't, perhaps a bit inaccurate,
then it gets community noted and then they get mad and stop advertising. But we're caring about the truth that we're willing to give up advertising dollars on Twitter even if you know in order to have the most the least inaccurate. Right. And I want to talk about that.
But I want to obviously spend some time on Tesla again back to ads though I mean I'm I gonna start to see Tesla ads during the NFL broadcast on a given Sunday Monday Thursday the NFL is always on well, bear in mind I mean I only disagree to it so so like I have a fully-formed strategy Okay, well how much time does go into when you think about these things?
I mean, was it something you decided to do up on stage or at least did you know coming in? I may, you know, this comes up that I may go there. No, I mean the questions are not scripted in any way. Right. So, so in that moment, you just said, all right, yeah, do some ads. That's right. So we're only like 20 minutes later.
