Great Deep Dive on Tesla Design
New to the podcast but really enjoyed the episode on the design leadership at Tesla. Sounds like great people working on really cool stuff! Best possible match to evolve thinking behind futures mobility designs. However, I am baffled about calling CyberTtuck a truck frankly. Seems very boring and average losing the opportunity to take the design & the target use to the next level by creating a transformer category where the backside is detached into a 2-seat 3-wheeler making the derrière, face of a sexy playful urban transporter ;~] Many thanks for this opportunity to learn

Can’t support Tesla anymore
Ideally this show would branch away from solely focusing on Tesla.

Host is a total Tesla fanboy
I want to like this podcast. The host is such a Tesla/Elon fanboy the show can be hard to listen to. Elon could kidnap his children and he would say, “l respectfully disagree with Elon’s actions.”

Information
I enjoy the width and breath of topics covered and the owners that call in with advice or information on their experiences. Very up to date info. Thanks

Gold standard of Tesla podcasts
This is the one and only Tesla weekly podcasts. Not only is Ryan very passionate about Tesla and this podcast but he’s been able to foster his own Tesla community that is bigger than the show. It’s the best.

Ultimate Tesla Podcast
I’ve been listening to this podcast for almost 6 years now and have never missed an episode. Ryan does a fantastic job of getting the latest news, answering owner questions and giving his insight on all things related to Tesla vehicles. Highly recommend this podcast for any Tesla fans or owners.

A Tesla Must!
If you have any interest in Tesla, you have to listen to this Podcast. Ryan does an outstanding job of keeping you up-to-date on all things Tesla. The “Tip of the Week” segment is especially helpful to new and old Tesla owners alike. Keep up the good work!

Awesome podcast
Wonderful and very informative show about Tesla and its products. The host is amazing and knowledgeable on the subject as well.

It is you!!
I was searching for another car podcast more on the electric side. I found this one! It said hosted by Ryan Mccaffery. I was like hmmm no way it’s not the Ryan Mccaffery from Xbox unlocked. No way must be someone else with the same name. But as I found out it is you! So excited long time listener of Xbox unlocked and you are an excellent podcast host who could prob do one on any topic.

Awesome weekly round up of Tesla fan news
Ryan was born to do this kind of thing.

Respect our time
I’ve enjoyed Ryan’s podcast for several years. Those who rave about it are correct that he is a very enthusiastic and positive host. My chief complaint is that he takes far too long to get a point across. His shows are over an hour each week and I’ve come to realize that equates to charitably 15 minutes of content. Ironically even the calls ins can’t be concise.

The Absolute Best Tesla Podcast
You can tell Ryan is passionate about the show and puts a lot of work into it. Best Tesla pod out there, it’s fun to listen to and doesn’t make me feel like I’m listening to a script like some other pods out there.

Great show.
Ryan has a great attitude that comes across in his show.

By far the best Tesla podcast.
Not only have I never owned a Tesla (yet!), I’ve never been driven or driven one. I’m a fairly longtime shareholder and future customer. I subscribe and listen to a few others but this is BY FAR the best Tesla podcast out ESPECIALLY since Ryan does it solo which I believe is far more difficult. Cheers to him and everybody who not only drives electric because we’re killing ourselves with this many ICE cars, even though I’ll never get rid of my ‘66 Sunbeam Tiger, without a doubt my future is Tesla.

I love this Podcast!
Ryan is exceptional and I love his enthusiasm! He is so entertaining and informative!

‘Meh.
The podcaster provides good Tesla information and news. He’s articulate and presents news clearly with good pacing. However, he’s not a good interviewer whatsoever (the interview with Frans was a star struck mess that I could feel unease from the interviewee). If you’re looking for looking for a subjective look at EV or Tesla news, this ain’t it. It borderlines on tunnel vision and shuns any Tesla competitor which defeats any claims of wanting to reduce the world of co2 footprint or bettering the world. It just makes him look like: yeah I want an EV life but only Tesla. I come back to this podcast 2~3 times in last 12 months but it’s still insufferable at times. If you want a podcast with EV coverage that covers the gamut of mfgs, I’d recommend EV News Daily.

Steve Downes’ Fart
Great show! I love all you do for us, Brian! That being said, an audible fart can be heard from Steve Downes right when he announces the title of the show, “Ride The Lightening”, in the bumper in the middle of the show. I thought it was pretty funny. 😂😂😂 Check it out!

Best car podcast
This is the best electric car podcast. Yes it is focused on Tesla but that is why it is the best. Tesla is leading the charge on sustainability. Listening to this podcast is the most fun way to stay updated on all things Tesla.
Howard (a.k.a. Garden Aum)
Incredibly well rounded podcast.
Ryan’s podcast is simply one of my favorite podcasts I’ve ever subscribed to. How he articulates the news is exciting and fun. He gives you the good and the bad about Tesla enabling listeners to understand more than one side. Though I don’t agree with everything he say’s I genuinely appreciate the level of respect he affords perspectives that are different from his. I really wish news reporting was as respectively neutral as he’s managed to be with all of his episodes. This podcast is often one of the highlights of my week.

Excellent Tesla news source
Thanks Ryan for keeping me up to date on Tesla news. I love going for a run when I listen to your podcast. Keep up the good work!

Ned Flanders meets Pravda
Although I WANT to like this podcast, I cannot stand listening to this timid, annoying, non-car guy, Ned Flanders-meets-Pravda cheerleader. There is NO WAY I can believe that this guy is not being compensated by Tesla somehow. The endless, shameless ‘rah-rah’ butt-kissing is nauseating!
ReconMan8654
Great, in-depth Podcast!
Ryan does a great job on this podcast. I find myself waiting for the next episode on Sunday with anticipation similar to waiting for a batch of cookies to come out of the oven.

Great listen
For a guy making a Tesla podcast in his free time he’s really on top of all the info out there.

Talks like a corporate middle manager
Ok content. But the guy talks like a corporate middle manager. Uses of unnecessary words that tries to make him sound “corporate smart” - not needed. Also gets things wrong.

Exceptional Podcast
This is by far the best podcast for Tesla enthusiasts. Ryan provides consistent quality week after week.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE - TOTAL LOVE
I do a video show on YouTube called That Electric Car Show and this podcast is an inspiration and the best place for Tesla nerds like me, thank you

Amazing
He really helped me when I bought my Tesla, as I was intimidated and didn’t know how to operate the car. I’m glad to know he has a podcast.

AWSOME
Thanks Ryan for all you do. Every night, me and my dad go to sleep hearing your podcasts, old or new. You make the Tesla world so much better every Sunday, I don’t know what we would do without you. Thanks again, Live Long, and Tesla Motor✌️

Hmmmm...
Love the Tesla stuff. The Game Nerd stuff is a little hard to stomach, but I’m hopeful there won’t be much of it. 😐

Ryan knows his stuff!
This guy is amazing! And he has a great radio show feel, he keeps the content moving. I have licensed to great podcast but we’re really slow content wise. But Ryan keeps it moving! My fist episode was the Elon interview on episode 200, I think it was the best Elon interview I have herd to date. Give this guy a A listen and enjoy riding the lightning. And Ryan if you see this, thank you.

Sweet podcast
Thanks for the good work Ryan

Great Podcast
The Elon interview was amazing and well deserved. I was very disappointed with news media fore using your information from your interview and not give you credit for your interview as the source. Also even more disappointed by the other Tesla pod cast for not mentioning your interview in any meaningful way or even furthering the discussion? It is very clear that Talking Tesla and Elektrick were envious and purposely didn’t mention your interview which was a huge moment for all podcasts! Keep up the good work! Michael

200th Episode Wow
Great podcast as always w/a cherry on top, Elon Musk, all the hard work has paid off how sweet is that!!!

Great energy, info and production....
After listening to other Tesla podcasts, this is the one I listen to each week. A new listener for the last few weeks I’ve started to go back to the beginning to start listening to back episodes. It’s great to listen to previous history if only for a few years of this accelerating company. Ryan’s honest enthusiasm, thorough knowledge and enthusiasm keeps the listeners engaged. He has an honest appreciation of his audience. If you’re new to the brand, this podcast is a great launching off point to learn. Keep up the awesome work Ryan, I know it’s hard work.
