| 0:00.0 | On this week's episode of Ride the Lightning, the Tesla Unofficial Podcast, regular customers finally have the ability to buy the new giga Texas built model Y 2.0, sort of. |
| 0:11.0 | Plus, Elon Musk gives a history lesson on the early days of Tesla. Another AI day is on the way and more. Oh, What's happening friends? Welcome to Ride the Lightning your weekly Tesla Tesla Unofficial Podcast for May 22. |
| 0:45.8 | It's episode 355. |
| 0:48.7 | Daisy the Boxer with me and the boy, my week has been a little unsurprisingly not great so I had told you that |
| 0:57.7 | Daisy pulled up limping she seemed to get better well took her in for X-rays at the recommendation of one of you actually, a veterinarian |
| 1:06.6 | listener who reached out and said, oh, you know, if you have any questions, let me know, |

| 2:06.8 | point I'm grateful that she did show that limp a couple weeks ago because otherwise I might never have known about this |
| 2:14.5 | until she was much older and or much more severely injured. So this way she's I |
| 2:20.7 | mean she's still four years old she turns five in a couple months |
| 2:23.2 | this way we can get it done while she's young we have youth on our side hopefully and |
| 2:28.1 | she can get back to full strength full speed but you know before too long now that said a second |
