[00:01:40] As a matter of fact, our Tesla news consists of one story that's actually about Tesla and Daniel, we need to talk about some EV news. And first up, we have Kia Recall. The problem is some of the driveshafts are faulty on 2023 EV6s and 2023, 2024, Neeros. It's not a large number, it's about 1243 cars in total.

[00:03:01] So if you have one of those vehicles

[00:03:05] to see if your vehicle's affected.

[00:04:06] range. The all-wheel drive is obviously dual motor and that will get you 276 mile range. So if you're in the United States and I think this is only affecting

[00:04:11] the United States, sorry Bart, if you live in a different country and you have a

[00:04:16] similar pricing let me know and I'll pass that along but pretty good deal if

[00:04:21] you're in the market for a pollster.. Now for the standard range plus, or excuse me, standard plus, not standard range, this isn't Tesla's standard plus, you get a 121 kilowatt hour battery pack, which would get you a round estimated 315 mile range.

[00:05:41] You can also choose between a dual motor

[00:05:44] and performance variance if you wanna,

[00:05:46] you know, jack your price up on this. $1,449 due at signing. You can do that for $632 a month. And then we have the standard plus R1S, which is 121 kilowatt hour battery pack. Again, with the standard plus, you can choose an optional dual motor or performance variance if you wanna spend more money. I didn't put that in there.

[00:07:02] Same lease criteria, it's $677 a month.

[00:07:07] There's a little bit Auto had to say. Latin American consumers are clamoring for greener cars at a time when fossil fuel costs

[00:08:21] are soaring and sustainability is becoming increasingly important. The group believes that Latin America will become a highly valued new energy market by 2024.

The strategic development plan of introducing Those two companies have entered into an $18.6 billion battery agreement. LG Kim will supply 500,000 tons of cathode material over the next 10 years.

Now I say that with a caveat, right? I would be willing to try it if I was already retired because I need to make it another three and a half years, three years and four months so that I could hit that sweet, sweet retirement date.
