| 0:00.0 | On this week's episode of Ride the Lightning, the Tesla Unofficial Podcast, a new report has the alleged details on what changes we can expect in Model 3's upcoming Project Highland revamp. |
| 0:11.5 | Plus, Tesla finally starts offering extended warranties |
| 0:15.3 | again including for the model 3 and model Y for the first time ever. Newer |
