Summary
General Motors loses its first battle in an effort to get Tesla banned from selling cars in Indiana, Elon Musk recommends a certain Model X interior configuration, I propose a "Model 3 wave" for future Tesla owners, I take a bunch of your phone calls, and much more.
Also, if you're going to buy a Tesla, visit http://ts.la/peter6387 to get a $1,200 credit towards a home charging installation. I'll get a chance to win a Model X, courtesy of die-hard listener Peter from Denmark, who has promised to give me the X if he wins it in the random referral drawing, which he'll be entered into if you buy a Tesla (the link will work anywhere in the world) using the above referral link!
And don't forget to leave a message on the Ride the Lightning hotline anytime with a question, comment, or discussion topic for next week's show! The toll-free number to call or Skype is 1-888-989-8752.
