Coming up this week on Ride the Lightning, the Tesla Motors Unofficial Podcast,

Tesla adds a launch mode to try and make Model S even a hair quicker off the line.

Auto Pilot gets nerfed a bit, Tesla's got a great holiday gift for iPhone owners and more.

Tally Ho! The Welcome to Ride The Lightning, the Tesla Motors Unofficial Podcast.

My name is Ryan McCaffrey.

It's episode 20 for December 13, 2015. It is good to have the show back up to full strength.

And by that I mean both me, I'm feeling much better after my you could tell my voice was a little off under the weather

Especially last week and then a bit the week before even and then even the recording the recording quality of the show is restored to its it's better

quality than what I'd been subbing in the last two weeks. The broken

recorder has been repaired under warranty and it's back in my hands.

I'm very happy to have it back.

So yay, I appreciate it.

I just want to say thank you again to all of you for bearing with me the last couple weeks both with my voice

and from the slightly lessened sound quality from the inferior recording device.

So back in action here, what can we tell you? Founders series model X deliveries seem to be picking up a bit based on anecdotal evidence on the Tesla Motors Club forums. Still no word for signature deliveries, however.

It is looking less and less likely

that any of those are going to happen in 2015.

But we'll see.

We'll see that's, you never know, they could sneak out a couple hundred of them, a few hundred of them,

that last week of the year.

It is entirely possible.

Boy, I just kind of feel bad for the factory workers, Tesla factory workers, they've got to be pulling just some serious hours.
