| 0:00.0 | On this week's episode of Ride the Lightning the Tesla Unofficial Podcast |
| 0:03.6 | Tesla releases their first-quarter production and delivery numbers. The full |
| 0:08.0 | self-driving computer aka Hardware 3 is done and ready to be shown off. Norway achieves a major |
| 0:15.1 | EV-related milestone and more. Oh, Howdy friends Ryan McCaffrey with you for episode 192 of Ride the Lightning the weekly Tesla unofficial |
| 0:44.4 | podcast for April 7th 2019 to my left looking out the window as she |
| 0:50.1 | winds down for the night the one the only Daisy the boxer puppy. She had a good |
| 0:55.1 | romp at the park today. We had a good time. Been a bit of a rainy week once again |
| 0:59.0 | here but we're used to it now. We're just getting around it. Anyway, last weekend of |

| 1:41.1 | with it. So how cool is that just to have a |
| 1:43.4 | Tesla delivering another Tesla to a new home they posted some pictures and |
| 1:49.9 | videos of it on their social media channels so if you follow Tesla on Twitter and or |
| 1:55.5 | on Instagram you can check that stuff out but yeah like so it was just a neat glimpse of |
| 2:00.9 | the future because I mean in the future entire fleets of Tesla semis will |
| 2:06.2 | exist and they'll be able to do that around the world assuming the cars don't deliver |
| 2:12.3 | themselves which might actually happen as time goes on because |
| 2:17.3 | autopilot and full self-driving is making progress which we're going to talk a lot about later on in this podcast. |
