On this week's episode a ride the lightning the Tesla unofficial podcast pricing and specifications for the dual motor and performance model three are here.

Yes.

Plus model three's first big safety rating comes in.

Production on Model 3 is ramping up nicely.

I'll tell you just how nicely.

Tesla wins a dealership battle in another state and more. The What's happening, happening, Ryan McCaffrey joining you for episode 146 part 2 of sorts I'll

explain that in a second for ride the lightning the Tesla unofficial podcast for May 20th

2018 it is 1234 a.m. on Sunday morning. The show is due to go out wide to everyone in less than six hours, less than five and a half hours. But Elon Musk, just, well just about an hour ago, I was in a movie theater seeing Deadpool 2 with a friend of mine I'd bought tickets a month

ago so I picked a heck of a night for that I get out of the movie and look and sure enough

Elon has announced the pricing and the specs and some other details for the model 3's all-wheel drive

the dual motor car and the performance car. So I don't have any notes for this. I'm just going to

have I'm just going to riff a little bit off of Elon's tweets which

included some to me once again which I am extraordinarily I just feel like I've got

the horseshoe or a lucky rabbit's foot or something

something that's that must be hiding in my office that I'm not even not even

realizing is there hugely exciting here, Elon coming through on his promise to

to start. Actually I don't know as of now, as of me recording this, if orders, if he started taking the orders he said let's see late tonight I gotta find it here

Part please pardon my the roughness of this a little bit because it's like I said I'm just sort of flying by the seat of my pants at the last second here

The show was done it went out to Patreon backers and I got it done on Friday, with the intention that I would just redo the beginning of it and re-edited it if Elon did deliver the news that we were waiting for.

He did at the really on the almost

literal 11th hour so here I am kind of winging it a little bit but he said ah the he said at 11 PM 1058 PM he said I'm about to test the configurator and then it goes out to early reservation holders tonight.

So it may be up mine, you know, I'm a non-owner.
