Talking Tesla Nation. This weeks show will be the final regular show of this podcast. We are forever humbled by your love and support throughout the years we have been doing this show. The plan is to potentially do special shows every so often when there is some exciting news to share and we just want to talk about it, but the regular weekly show you have come to expect is no more. We hope you enjoy this show and once again we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for listening to our show. It has been our pleasure to talk with you each week. 

Sincerely, 
Mel, Tom, Joel and Robert
