we really appreciate you doing that some good news here is that according to some of our uk viewers tesla has opened up orders of the model y for the uk on thursday deliveries are supposed to begin in qNUMBER_TOKEN and it looks like these will be made at gigashanghai that's pretty exciting for our uk viewers because they've been waiting i can't believe that they've gone this long without any model wise like i'm i like see a model i on the road i'm like oh you know social model y do you have you don't have any in the uk that's insane it's gonna be so popular when it hits their roads totally now we already know that tesla has had record sales last quarter of NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN vehicles delivered worldwide but now the china passenger car association or cpca confirmed last week the tesla sold NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN cars in china in september that my friend is a new record for tesla beating august's record of NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN. yeah about NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN of those made in china cars were exported out of china in september and this increase in tesla sales took place while the broader auto market in china was down NUMBER_TOKEN wow now because tesla makes its export cars at shanghai early in the quarter that means that local sales of cars will be down again for october and november most likely so don't be surprised when those numbers come in and all the fudster media are like oh sales in china are down for chancellor i wonder what's going on it's because those cars are being shipped to other markets like europe korea japan and australia but hopefully we will see record china sales again in december and i think that after giger berlin is up and running we should see less of this lumpiness right because they'll still maybe be exporting to you know korea and australia but they're probably not going to be exporting quite so many to europe right all right so it was announced last week by gm that the korean battery manufacturer lg will be reimbursing gm NUMBER_TOKEN billion dollars for the NUMBER_TOKEN billion chevy bolt recall due to manufacturing defects in lg's batteries shilpin amin gm's vp of global purchasing and supply chain said lg is a valued and respected supplier to gm and we are pleased to reach this agreement our engineering and manufacturing teams continue to collaborate to accelerate production of new battery modules and we expect to begin repairing customer vehicles this month now i think that lg had to do this as gm is partnering with lg on their new ultim battery platform yeah i mean gm sells a lot of cars NUMBER_TOKEN million cars worldwide in NUMBER_TOKEN so how would it look not only to gm but other auto manufacturers if lg had been you know known for these manufacturing defects but then been like um it's not our fault we're not taking responsibility for it and i mean lg did the exact same thing with hyundai where they shipped a bunch of batteries with defects and then later on they reimbursed hyundai to do those battery recalls and battery swaps here's the difference though i think hyundai handled it a lot better they did it a
