Elon and JB started very timely but my internet service crashes so badly with about 3,000 youtube viewers.

Redesigned Manufacturing Process.
Gigafactory Scale
Enough batteries for 500,000 cars in 2018 (50GWh.)
1.5 million cars with full capacity (150GWh.)

Q & A starting

How many people?

Elon: now 1,000. Later 10,000

Recycling: Yes. After 15, 20 years, all the interesting materials still there.

Elon: Gigafactory will completely run by sustainable energy.

At least a Gigafactory on every continent.

Tesla doesn't do ships but if someone doesn't do ships then yes Tesla would do ships!

Lithium 3rd most abundant elements.

You can find it from any salty solution, brine, dry lake beds...

It is not like oil. Because you use it then reprocess it. It's still there.

Focus on Model 3 production.

Mini Bus based on Model X platform.

This revolution will come from the people.

Q & A session done.

I believe the issue is with the stream
