(Austin, Texas) There are times when you are exhausted, and it’s easy to procrastinate and put things off. This is not John Stringer. Despite jet lag and exhaustion, he had the energy to take a red-eye flight to Austin, Texas for the Tesla Shareholder Meeting 2024 at Giga Texas. If that was not enough, he also had the extra energy to join my Podcast for episode 73. We met with Joseph Jefferson and Tony Chung (as cameraman for me). Both John and Joseph also volunteer as Presidents of local Tesla Clubs in California. John is the president of Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (Joseph founded Tesla Owners San Joaquin Valley).
In this video, we meet exclusively with John and talk about Elon Musk’s Tesla compensation package. We also tested FSD around the busy Austin Airport area during the conversation and the software is exceptionally smooth, this is what enables me to be so relaxed while conducting a short podcast simultaneously while being responsible for the car. Enjoy Podcast Episode 73.
In upcoming episodes we will meet Tony Chung and Joseph Jefferson.

KEYNOTE: Shaping the Future of Automotive Innovation
The X Takeover aims to promote electric vehicles and foster a sense of community among EV enthusiasts. John Stringer, of Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (TOSV), shared the reason for the name change, stating,
“We moved from the Tesla Takeover to the X takeover, because most Tesla fans follow SpaceX closely and have asked over the past couple of years to include SpaceX as much as possible.”
Stringer also highlighted the wide-reaching nature of the event, saying,
“X really means everything and we wanted to be more inclusive to other EV’s which is true to Tesla’s mission.”
Von Holzhausen’s presence at the X Takeover is a testament to the event’s growing influence and impact. His keynote is going to be great!
When asked about how the collaboration with Franz came to be, Stringer revealed,
“I had met Franz at various events that he has done over the years so after the takeover this past year, I reached out to just share our vision and plan for the event, along with who the previous speakers were, and he agreed to it surprisingly.”
