0:00.0	On this week's episode of Ride the Lightning, the Tesla Unofficial Podcast, new details on the imminent
0:05.8	Model 3 ludicrous are scraped from Tesla's own website source code.
0:11.0	Plenty of new features and improvements are on the way to the Tesla fleet in the upcoming
0:15.0	Spring software update. A big round of layoffs unfortunately hits Tesla and more. What's happening friends? I'm Ryan McCaffrey here alongside a snoozing
0:44.3	Daisy the Boxer. This is episode 455 of Ride the Lightning. It's your
0:49.2	weekly Tesla unofficial podcast and it's a busy week.

1:56.5	although an important caveat here, I cannot 100% confirm this as of yet, but I can confidently report that Quicksilver paint is coming
2:09.4	to North America.
2:10.7	So I'm told that we can expect to see Quicksilver cars on display at some, not all, some Tesla stores soon.
2:21.0	It is possible that this is going to get announced on Tuesday, which is when the
2:26.5	earnings call is, but that piece of it, that speculation is purely my own
