Update: This is the new video without German translations.
Highlights:
9:38 Elon: Today's refugee problem is a small indication of what the future will be like if we don't take action about climate change.
12:34 Elon: Germany is great in sustainable power generation, not so much in sustainable power consumption.
13:42 Elon: Germany and Australia are our top priorities on power storage.
14:10 Elon: We hope to launch again in about 68 days. If things go well, we will be able to land the rocket.
20:30 Sigmar Gabriel (German Minister of Economics and Energy): €1.5 bn was spent on EV research. That's good but now we need incentives and regulations that require a certain percentage of new cars are electric.
34:10 Elon says there are no incentives in Germany and recommends up to 10% incentives like in other countries.
48:40 Elon reconfirms superchargers can be used by other car makers as long as the car can take the high power level and the cost is shared proportionally.
49:25 Elon: A European (but not German) car company has recently contacted us about using superchargers.
51:55 Sigmar Gabriel: We have a conflict with Tesla about charging infrastructure. In Europe there is an agreement about having the same charging infrastructure starting from the plug so there are no differences in electromobility in Europe. However Tesla already has their own system. For the time being we are trying to find solutions that ... [interruption, somebody says Tesla's plug is not so different] ... even so the agreement in Europe doesn't make Tesla's plug possible, at least [interruption] ... You should be a politician. We don't let people talk either. But I would still like to continue explaining. So we have an unsolved conflict. For now the solution is, both are offered.
57:05 Elon: Model 3 will be released in 2-2.5 years.
