During the quarter we purchased shares in Tesla Motors, Inc (TSLA). The pace of innovation at Tesla is head spinning and the progress being made towards the goal of revolutionizing the auto industry is impressive. Recently, Tesla announced an all-wheel-drive (AWD) model with two electric motors. Tesla’s model D has a longer range due to its dual motor performance optimization! In addition, Tesla announced initial Autonomous Driving capabilities and the potential for the car to serve as a valet for its driver. For those of you who used to watch David Hasselhoff in “Knight Rider,” it must bring a smile to your face. Tesla continues to delight customers and out-innovate its competition. (Gilad Shany)
