Coming up this week on Ride the Lightning, the Tesla Motors Unofficial Podcast,

Tesla announces its second quarter results.

Elon Musk hints at big plans for Model Y.

BMW goes on the offensive against model three and more. What's happening,

happening, friends, it's another busy week of Tesla News.

That's, again, I picked the right car company to start a podcast about

because it is a never a dull moment in Tesla land.

Welcome to Ride the Lighting the Tesla Motors Unofficial Podcast.

Episode 53 for August 7th, 2016. I'm Ryan McCaffrey. Starting off the week with some fun little news,

Elon Musk tweeted at me again, replied to one of my tweets, I'm on fire all the sudden. It's two in the last couple weeks.

There was a conversation going on about naming the Tesla mini bus.

Somebody suggested a name and I replied saying well what about model B for bus and

Elon actually replied to me I was very supposed I actually didn't see it right away I saw

other people were tweeting at me saying oh that's

two and I'm like what are they talking oh it was nice to see Elon Musk reply to me he

said he said to me I think we should be inconsistent in our naming conventions after model Y.

So it seems that he is very much going to spell out sexy on purpose S3 x y and then after that all bets are off and they might just keep

sexy and then have other names like you know who knows maybe they know Tesla mini bus whatever it's

actually going to be called but I thought that was that was a fun little it's

always it's I can it's like oh it's always fun when Elon tweets it you know it was it was a

it's a thrill whenever a guy you know who

I admire like that who has something like four million more than that now
