On this week's episode of Ride the Lightning, the Tesla and EV podcast, a special guest joins me to tell me his absolutely fascinating story of living out of his Tesla by choice for the past eight years and counting.

I hope you enjoy the conversation. It's coming up next. What's happening, friends. What's happening, friends?

I'm Ryan McCaffrey, and this is episode 539 of Ride the Lightning,

the Tesla and EV podcast.

Coming at you every single week, this one's publishing on November 30th,

2025.

But as it is right now, it is a Saturday afternoon, early afternoon.

I've got Daisy the Boxer chilling out on the couch to my left and at my feet, the lovely Lily, the Silly Labrador. It's an overcast day and I am getting ready to head out of town with my extended family for Thanksgiving.

So I'm recording this one early for you guys, which means, of course, I can't do weekly current news and comment on that because I'm recording this ahead of time.

So as is usually the case when I do head out of

town and take a break a couple times a year with my family, I've got a conversation pre-recorded

for you with somebody that I found extremely interesting, and I hope you will too. So as always,

if I do miss any big Tesla or EV news from this past week as you hear this,

which is the Thanksgiving week in the U.S., I'll talk about it on next week's podcast.

Now, thankfully, the odds are a bit more in favor of it being a relatively quiet news week on account of the USA Thanksgiving

holiday.

But then again, as somebody that's been covering Tesla and doing this podcast for over 10 years now,

there is rarely a dull moment in the world of Tesla.

So please accept my apologies in advance for anything crazy that might have happened

this past week that would have normally merited a lot of discussion on the podcast.

I'll cover it when I get back.

But I do want to sincerely say to all of you that I'm just very grateful to all of you, not only for listening,
