0:36.0 | happening friends, I'm Ryan McCaffray joining you here for episode 371 |
0:41.0 | of Ride the Lightning, your weekly Tesla unofficial podcast for September 11th, 2022. |
0:48.6 | And I regret that I have to start this week's show with a correction and an apology. I incorrectly attributed the |
0:56.9 | F Elon Musk quote that I had brought back when I talked about that last week. That quote was |
1:02.2 | from 2020. |

1:59.6 | want to sincerely apologize for that error. |
2:03.6 | That said, I do, I stand by everything I said. |
2:06.6 | I think my point still stands in that I still think |
2:10.2 | that Lena Gonzalez's whole, another child killed. Do we? think that quote I found very very disingenuous they just came from two different |
2:20.6 | people but not not one person so again I apologize for that I take a lot |
2:26.5 | of pride in trying to be very factually accurate on this podcast I got that one |
