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!

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.

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.

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.

‘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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Should be THE OFFICIAL TESLA PODCAST
I never miss an episode, great information, facts, and thoughtful straight forward opinions on Tesla. Gets all the recent info on a weekly basis answering listeners questions and giving opinions the good, the bad and the ugly in a fun and perfectly allotted chunk of an hour or so. Perfect for a Monday morning run to catch up or look forward to the week ahead in The Tesla world. Keep up the great work!!

It used to be better
Deep down Ryan is a Tesla enthusiast which is what originally attracted me to this podcast. I found RTL around episode 77 and have listened regularly through episode 154. For the past 10-12 episodes, however, I’ve found myself rolling my eyes as I’ve endured listening to how great Ryan is, and fast forwarding through story time (sometimes as much as the first 15 minutes) until the Tesla news/updates portion of the podcast. My assessment is Ryan’s Tesla enthusiasm isn’t shared as strong with work colleagues, friends, and family and uses the podcast as an outlet to scream it to the world. PRO: Ryan does have a good amount of knowledge MIDDLE: The hotline. I’m mixed here, sometimes there’s some good questions and input, and then there are the folks who are either too lazy to do their own two click Google research or don’t really listen to the show consistently. CON: Ryan is an enthusiast, and fails to keep his own ego in check during portions of the podcast. If he’d just edit story time out and just keep it to the news/hotline, I’d probably continue to listen. The reading of the Patreon supporters EVERY week. Huge eye roll here, hope they recognize they’ve helped bankroll Ryan’s new ride, a tactic learned from Ben Sullins over at Teslanomics.

Great Pets Passion and Podcast
Ryan is the most polished of the podcasters offering knowledge and insight into news of the week about Tesla and their goals around sustainable production, transport and consumption. While I hear youtubers and some podcasters get information, stats and analysis wrong, Ryan is near perfect with what you hear about Tesla info. When he doesn’t he brings feedback from his fans about the info that he doesn’t know. Well done episodes always on time. A must listen podcast.

The only Tesla podcast needed
Ryan’s podcast is excellent. He does his homework each and every week and puts together a very informative and entertaining show about the one company that is changing the world for the better. RTL is highly recommended for anyone wanting accurate and current information on Tesla. Thanks Ryan for your hard work and dedication!

Not concise
Ryan seems like a great guy, and I used to love to listen to this podcast but he’s gotten far too wordy and goes on far too long about trivial topics, it seems. I will check back in a few months and give him another try.

Best time-saver of my entire week!
I used to spend hours and hours every week scouring the forums for all sorts of informatiion and updates. Ruyan does that all for me now, with a very solid "signal to noise" ratio, which is much harger to achieve these days on the forums. I support him on Patreon, and it is money well invested.

Clearly a fanboy podcast, but there's better
RTL is fine, I listen to most episodes, but if I want real in-depth Tesla topic coverage that is accurate I listen to The Tesla Show and if I want entertaining Tesla experiences and views I go with Talking Tesla. RTL doesn't hit either end of the spectrum as well as those.

Improved Podcast
This podcast has improved since my last review so I will improve my rating a bit. Ryan provides good information and demonstrates compassion for "all things Tesla". Now that he has moved most of his lengthy (at least 10 minutes) ads to the end, it is less irritating and easier to skip. However, his still puts ads in the middle making it more cumbersome to avoid.

Excellent show. Very informative and always interesting. Ryan always tries to stay positive, accurate, thoughtful, and timely. I've listened to all the Tesla Podcasts, and Ride The Lightening is my favorite. So much so that I recently decided to be a Patron sponsor. I love the fact that he "admits" that he's a Tesla "Fan Boy," and is proud of it. He does give Tesla and Elon Musk the benefit of the doubt (appropriately), but he also is not afraid to call them out if he disagrees with a customer policy. He seems to have the customers in mind first and foremost. Keep up the good work.

The Best Tesla News/Podcast
In my opinion Ryan McCaffrey delivers top quality, honest journalism on all things Tesla & Elon Musk. It's obvious he's passionate about cars, the environment, technology, and his family; including his dog Maggie the Boxer. While he often makes note of his bias towards Tesla, Ryan McCaffrey still delivers criticism and speculation that matters; without being too serious. If you're interested in Tesla I highly recommend this Podcast as your #1 source of information!

I only listen because it is free
I really enjoy the news and hotline portions of the show and even like the feedback/speculation/comments from the host. I cannot stand the host's whining about the cost and wait for the Model 3, and his vomit inducing plug for a listener's referral code "To make his Tesla dreams come true" (if you can't afford a Model S/X now, you probably can't afford the insurance either). Maybe if the monthly paid subscription had all of the bellyaching edited out it would be worth it. If it were a paid only podcast you could count me out, I'd rather listen to Talking Tesla anyways. Those guys at least own EVs.

Ryan's enthusiasm is the basis for the show
I look forward to listening to this show every Sunday. Ryan McCaffrey is punctual and reliable in posting new episodes. The show itself is essentially one person going over the week's Tesla news and responding to questions and comments left as voice mail messages by listeners. This simple formula works well. I appreciate that the show is not loaded with advertising, and am pleased that Ryan has chosen to allow listeners to contribute to the show using Patreon. It's like the old shareware software licensing model, but for podcasting. Those of us who enjoy the show can become members and voluntarily contribute money monthly, and those who do not enjoy the show enough to contribute can still listen, or they can go find something else. It's a win for everyone.

Ride the Lightning provides an insightful look into the life of one man, and his love of his wife, his dog, and his (one day) car. Ryan delivers this weekly podcast simultaneously like a personal conversation and like a professional news program. Thank you, Ryan, for keeping yourself in your show. Very informative, compelling show to listen to. I have been listening since the first episode, and I still I eagerly wait each week for the next episode!

Good tesla content, too much pleading for $
I've listened to all RTL shows. I hope to keep doing so although its a bit of a struggle recently. The Tesla/Elon content is excellent and well done, but Ryan has increasingly added more and more requests for money, car donations, product mentions, etc. In the most recent episode it seemed almost half the show was this sort of thing. If this keeps up i'm going to unsubscribe. Ryan, please find a better/shorter way to get your requests in (show notes?) and dont repeat them over and over to the point it makes your audience sick.

Ryan does a fantastic job review the latest and greatest in the Tesla Motors world. It is clear he is passionate about the company and Elon Musk's goal of accelerating the advent of sustainable transport. While his passion is clear, he also does a decent job of playing devil's advocate and discussing some of the pitfalls the company has experienced as well. Keep it up Ryan!

Verg good but .... Tesla Fanboy bigtime
This is a well done Podcast, and Ryan keeps informed on the lastest Tesla news. Just one warning, he is a Tesla fan and rarely says anything critical about the cars.

Educational and entertaining
Like the host, I am not a Tesla owner, but I am very interested in owning their future Model 3 car. I love what Tesla is doing and this podcast is a great way to stay informed. One of the best things about the podcast? The Metallica bumper music!! Don’t change it to any urban music crap like every other podcast. Congratulations on your show!

Love this show
I've been into Tesla's for years. I thought it was awesome when Ryan from IGN reviewed the car...and then reviewed it again when it got upgrades. Then he announced this show and it's just awesome to listen to another enthusiast talk about the company.
