0:00.0	On this week's episode of Ride the Lightning, the Tesla unofficial podcast,
0:03.9	Tesla's drive-in supercharger slash diner in Hollywood gets one step closer to becoming a reality.
0:10.8	The price of the Model S and Model X's yoke goes way up, the three Barnfined
0:16.8	original roadsters are back on the market and more. And the Greetings friends, friends, welcome to your September 10th,
0:34.0	2023 edition of Ride the Lightning
0:46.0	the Tesla Unofficial Podcast. This is episode 423 and last week man what a fun week that was I hope you enjoyed last week's
0:55.3	podcast I've actually heard from a number of you who have ordered model S plads

2:21.9	It's rated the S, the base standard range S,
2:25.9	excuse me, long range S is rated at the same 3.1 second
2:29.3	0 to 60 as the performance model 3.
