Tesla breaks ground on Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, the 75 kilowatt hour model S and model X are going away and more. Oh, What's happening,

happening, friends?

Welcome to Ride The Lightning,

the unofficial Tesla Podcast episode

number 180 for January 13th, 2019. I hope your new year

is off to a solid start so far. I had my tires rotated today for the first time on my model three and in fact it's the

first time I've had tires rotated on any car ever maybe that I've owned?

Because I had my grandfather's Nissan Pathfinder, like 1987, I think that model was,

and I had it in 98 something like that and I just didn't have it long enough

I don't think to have the tires rotated then I got the DeLorian which has staggered tires and

then I had my infinity for 12 and a half years that had staggered

tires and now here we are so first first time for everything I guess and

what was cool about that was that I had an appointment

made for next week actually at the service center I'd made the appointment a

while ago right on the phone the first time I made an appointment on my phone and I got a call from Tesla a couple of days ago that said hey

We can actually have the mobile service come out and do this at your home or office this week if you'd like so I said sure because it was

I it it was no cost no additional cost so sure why not they're trying to offload

some of the work from the service centers and they've got the mobile crew around able to do that stuff

So I took him up on it and I want to say thank you to Jason for coming out to my office today at I. G.N. just around the back by the parking garage entrance.

Unfortunately, his Tesla van was just a bit too tall to get into our absurdly low clearance overhead to get into the garage.
