On this week's episode of Ride the Lightning, the Tesla and EV podcast,

in a surprising turn of events, Tesla says that it would be willing to build the

cyber cab with a steering wheel and pedals if regulators require it.

Plus, we get our first real indication that Tesla is finally gearing up to build the next-gen roadster, Rivian

readies an autonomy day, and more. What's happening, friends, welcome to Ride the Lightning.

It's your weekly Tesla and EV podcast.

This one is releasing on November 2nd, 2025, but I'm recording it on Halloween. In fact, Halloween evening,

so we'll see if you hear any knocking on the door and get picked up on the mic in the background

as people come to trick or treat. It's also a palindrome this week, episode 535. I always like

pointing that out for really no reason except I find it amusing.

Speaking of random thoughts, here's an actual random Tesla thought that I had this week

while I was out walking Daisy the Boxer, and this is how I wanted to start the podcast,

and I promise this will tie into actual news.

So I was thinking about this this week.

I think that I've zeroed in on the exact re-reveal date for the Roadster.

So the Roadster re-reveal event, I think I've got a pretty good idea of when it is.

And let me preface this by saying, I don't have any insider information.

I have, I'm not tipped off in any way. I don't even know if Tesla has decided exactly when it's

going to be, but I think I've narrowed it in. So let me, let me walk you through this real

quick and then I'll get to the rest of the actual news rather than just me speculating.

So it's already November, so time is running short to do this before the end of the year,

as Franz was talking about on this podcast a couple weeks ago.
