On this week's episode, a Ride the Lightning, the Tesla Unofficial Podcast, Elon Musk has a lot to say in a new podcast interview.

Tesla releases its Q2 2020 vehicle safety report, made in China model 3's get recognized for their pristine build quality and

more. Oh, Howdy friends? Welcome to Ride the Lightning. It's the Palandromatic episode 262 for August 9th

2020. I love a good palindrome.

We get one of those every what 10, 11 weeks or so.

Anyway, great to be with you here as Summer rolls on. It's been a fun week. I've got a lot of fun clips to play for you of Elon in a new podcast interview.

I am happy though to be backup fully running and operational my microphone

which my wife had gotten me as a gift for to do this podcast a few years ago.

It's a roadie if I don't know if it's pronounced road or roadie,

R-O-D-E anyway, Australian company and the microphone was great and it worked fantastically

but it just quit about a week or so ago

which now I don't just need it for ride the lightning I use it all the time in my day job at

I GN2 since we're all working remotely and I just kind of freaked out a little bit.

I ordered a new one, a new one of the same microphone, although it's now a sort of revision

two of it, and paid for the expedited shipping. It gets here and I plug it in and it seems like it works but then when I actually start putting it into action at Igen, it's not working. I can't get it to work long story short I'm going crazy stressed out

it was a Windows driver issue strangely enough so

So thankfully I was able to get that figured out updated my build of Windows 10 to the newest build

And a big sigh of relief all is working well now here we are but in any case, yeah, I actually, I had my parents, so when I was in Arizona over the holidays,

if you may remember the episode I recorded there,

it may have sounded a little different.

It's because I forgot to bring this microphone with me.

And of course I do the show every week
