Summary
**UPDATE** I realized AFTER I published the podcast that I managed to mess up the paint color story. It's TITANIUM silver and solid white that have been eliminated, not metallic silver. I apologize and will address my dumb mistake on next week's show
Tesla busts out a huge third quarter, as they'd hoped to do, the California DMV isn't a fan of the term "Autopilot," prospective Tesla owners now have two fewer paint color choices, and more!

| 0:00.0 | Coming up this week on Ride the Lightning, the Tesla Motors Unofficial Podcast, Tesla busts out a huge third |
| 0:05.2 | quarter as they'd hope to do. |
| 0:07.2 | The California DMV isn't a fan of the term autopilot. |
| 0:11.2 | Prospective Tesla owners now have two fewer paint color choices and more. Oh, Welcome to Ride The Lightning. It is the Tesla Motors Unofficial Podcast episode 62 for October 9th, 2016. I'm Ryan McCaffrey. Thanks as always for joining me. I start this |
| 0:46.0 | week with a sigh of relief personally as my PC problem seemed to have finally |
| 0:51.0 | been rectified. Sadly it cost me about $133 to do so. It was in fact a faulty |
| 0:58.6 | secondary hard drive. I run two hard drives, a main system SSD drive, |
| 1:02.8 | and then a secondary drive, and that secondary one, |
| 1:06.2 | which didn't have much on it. |
| 1:07.3 | But it was the one I was doing all of my Ride the Lightning |

| 1:16.3 | number of things, Windows-based cures, that see it looked like it was going to work |
| 1:21.8 | and then the drive ended up ultimately failing. |
| 1:25.8 | So swapped it out, no problem, good to be good to have a nice reliable computer back again. |
| 1:31.4 | The next thing I wanted to mention, feel like I should have I wish I had |
| 1:34.8 | to mention this about I guess a week ago I'm about a well yeah about a week late on |
| 1:38.8 | this but nevertheless this is just a word of warning. |
| 1:42.8 | To you fellow Tesla enthusiasts, I'm not a fellow owner, |
| 1:46.9 | but to you owners especially now, |
| 1:49.1 | and to you would be owners such as myself in the future |
| 1:51.9 | who are also dog people. |
| 1:54.2 | You may hear Maggie the Boxer snoozing away on the couch next to me. |
