a colleague stephen beardsley and look further into the issue and joins me now in the studio steven first of all what is a geek factory and why would tesla want to build one in europe so gigafactory is using the term that. the quantity of electricity that tesla wants to create to make a effective battery for an affordable car so instead of kilowatt hours which we often talk about for utilities this would be electricity in the amount of gigawatts you want to produce massive amounts to bring down the price of batteries now that's part of tesla's overall strategy of making e-cards affordable making it something that you would look at as you look at a normal car here something you can actually for your budget now it has given factories already in the works in nevada for example in new york and then one in china and why don't want to europe because europe is also a massive market and has already has two factories there so it could seek some economies of scale well it sounds like a big deal and yet tesla has been in the news for something less positive in its

production that is the company trying to deflect it possibly it would have every reason to tell those quarterly reports are coming tomorrow and investors are not optimistic at all in fact some are saying that it's going to look like a bloodbath. the big issue here is that tesla is burning cash to meet those. goes for the model three like you talked about it had to sort of move heaven and earth to create actually a third production line in the tent to do this so the idea was move that cash nature goals but investors look at this and they say where's profitably profitability coming along how sustainable is this. this is still trust you don't must because he's been you know making big announcements he's amount of a great gesture does he have a photo ops well i mean look at space x. look at what happened with the rocket launch in the boosters that self landed themselves so yes of course sometimes what he does absolutely comes the payoff but you know he has a vision that is very stark and sometimes it hits a wall of reality especially when it comes to what investors expect what they demand and what they want to see out of his company they're going to put money into
1:20 pm
it and that's the wall that he set in right now especially with a lot of what he's doing on social media those are seen as distractions effort to announce new productions of for example a self driving truck very interesting but could that just be a distraction when production of model three is the real big issue here is europe seems to be taking you seriously though reasonable official officials have reportedly met with the company you would to i mean this is about jobs right it's about economy if you look at the gigafactory nevada for example the promise is three point five billion dollars i believe in capital investments by build out and sixty five hundred jobs now that's huge if you're a government official you want to bring that's where you are the question though is it be interesting to see if tesla does do this how will it operate in europe a highly regulated environment where unions are very strong compared to how it operates or exactly compared to how it operates in the u.s. so that might be the question moving forward to tomorrow is really going to be the big question ok we'll find out then thank you very much stephen bitsy. audi

a big selloff triggered by earnings season mostly on nascar but other tech companies as well also in asia and the problem is that these companies have been shouldering a bullish market for nine years almost singlehandedly so the expectations have grown and grown grown and. and now stellar growth is already priced into the shares so if a company doesn't quite match that. there's a high chance of a drop right now i spoke to analysts earlier and they said this was way overdue tech companies valuations have been way too high and if you look at it for nine years you know you can't always be on top it might be time for a bigger change although they say it's too early to say whether that will continue . further down much more well flamini is apple has been the hottest of those tech
