Tesla is one of the most controversial stocks in the world. To some it is a reflection of the chaos and ego of Elon Musk. To others it is ushering in the future of clean transportation and personal robots. Love it or hate it, there is always something going on with this company.

Last week was no different. As Tesla reported its Q3 numbers, Elon Musk took time to rant about "corporate terrorists", shareholders were given more information on Musk's proposed $1 trillion pay package and the company broke its report for the most cars delivered in a quarter.

In today's episode, we break it all down and tell you what you need to know.

That’s not all in another big episode of Equity Mates:

• Ren shares where he's been the past couple of weeks
• We review this quarter's 13F filings to see which stocks the experts are buying and selling
• Luke Laretive returns for the latest Pimp my Portfolio
