i do not own a tesla or shares in tesla, but i try to keep a clear view of what is going on.onse, emily, is that yes, there is negatives, but the bigger picture is that this is a compelling value and it is an undeniable truth that cars should be electric. if you put that together, the substance of this is going to seem very simple. what are the delivery numbers in the september quarter? if they move up from 77,000, the surprise number in june, move up from that number in september, that will be a powerful sign that despite all of the problems that get reported around quality, there is something bigger going on. and that simply is that people want electric cars. emily: your answer begs the question, why don't you own a tesla? eugene: i don't own a tesla because luke is two and a half years old and i promised to turn money back over to investors before i get a new car. emily: good answer. craig, what is next? tesla has challenges and we have the second half of the are coming. what are you looking out for? craig: in addition to working through some of these service issues, a big

he has it as spacex, right why not tesla?k that's a very good question and i think part of it is that the story keeps changing all the time and i think it's a red flag not to have some seriously experienced people who can come in and talk to their prior car-making experience and the financial experience that goes into that and just say, look, we're going to build the controls into place and the consistency that you deserve, being a shareholder of a company of this size and scale and it wants to be a car company for the next hundred years >> i think the other thing that catches my attention in all of this, we talk so much about dual class share structure and how many companies, including companies that have now are going public have implemented them to keep their founders in place. tesla doesn't actually have that i know he has a super majority vote requirement that gives him veto power over shareholder proposals, but he doesn't actually have that dual class structure. do you think that's something that tesla would ever think

tesla is back in the news today. a german publication reporting that volkswagen ceo herbert diest interested in acquiring a stake in tesla volkswagen has denied it but the industry is facing challenges from falling sales, excess capacity and the shift to electric cars. phil lebeau joins me with more i wonder what this report is really telling us. >> it's not surprising from the standpoint that we are going to see more investors or automakers investing in other companies or looking at an investment possibly in tesla. but there's a lot of caveats to consider here, kelly when you look at somebody like tesla and why it may be appealing for somebody like tesla, like herbert diest to take an investment in. autonomous technology is what the automakers are targeting right now. ev battery technology and ride share firms. two of those three, tesla is among those who are considered leaders. certainly with ev batteries, autonomous technology, maybe not the leader but they certainly have some interesting possibilities there. and

would tesla be exempt? craig: that is still to be determined.t is hard to imagine that china would offer an exemption to tesla specifically on import taxes because they have not carved out anyone american carmaker up to this point. they have also not carved out any exemption for the job and automakers that make suvs down in the south and and are exporting vehicles china. they have been an unfortunate casualty with the trade war between u.s. and china, and you have german car companies that are getting significantly hit as a result of the escalating tariffs. in this risk, it is really with tesla resulting in having to increase prices, this may be take some of the pressure off of them. emily: has you mentioned, tesla's long had a plan to build cars in china to avoid situations like this. tom, you have google moving pixel production to vietnam out of china. we do not know necessarily how large pixel production is in china, it is certainly not the iphone. what do we know about the plans? tom: not everybody is getting the exemption that tesla did, ri
