| 0:00.0 | On this week's episode of Ride the Lightning, the Tesla Unofficial Podcast, a European regulatory agency |
| 0:05.6 | publishes a list of changes and upgrades coming to the Model 3 and Model Y in 2022. |
| 0:11.2 | Plus, a more production-ready version of the Cyber Truck is spotted on the Fremont Factory test track. |
| 0:17.5 | Elon Musk promises a big holiday software update for the fleet and more. What's happening, happening, |
| 0:33.0 | I'm Ryan McCaffrey. This is Ride the Lightning |
| 0:45.0 | your weekly Tesla unofficial podcast for December 12th 2021 |
| 0:50.3 | episode 332. Well I am fresh back from a little work trip to Los Angeles. Sadly I couldn't get into the Tesla Design Studio. I stood outside in the window, in the rain, holding up a boom box, playing a sappy song, hoping that Elon or Franz would come out for an interview. |

| 1:56.8 | from a European regulatory authority and those are not typically in the business of making things up. |
| 2:04.0 | So the list was posted online and let's take a run through these. |
| 2:09.0 | This came, the report was published or filed on November 19th and obviously just discovered, |
| 2:16.8 | and it came out of the Netherlands. |
| 2:19.2 | And here we go, we have adding new Infotainment Computer, adding new low voltage lithium ion |
| 2:25.5 | battery, adding new rear door laminated glass, adding interior cabin radar |
| 2:30.9 | for model Y, adding new connectivity card, adding new glass component |
