1923 Ford vs 2023 Tesla 

I would buy a $4500 car today

Cost, speed and volume of production at the same time. It wasn't a car revolution. It was a Model T revolution.

And now the average car sold is 10x that price🤣

Yugo used to cost 3990 in 1990, and its 4 door version (Zastava 101) sold in 2007 for 4300€. Today it is almost impossible to find cheap new car, all try to go upmarket.

@@bigmike4923 and probably wont decapitate you if a big enough rock flies on your windshield

Thinking the same thing!

I believe they used to call such a system a 'turbo clutch' in that it was a manual clutch which used an automatic gear system and valve body. Nowdays people would call you insane but I'm pretty sure it was from a time when automatics were less well understood/supported and may also have been loopholed into racing classes.

@@boingkster Where I work in truck mechanic circles a turbo clutch is known as the exact opposite, a conventional manual transmission that exchanges the classic friction clutch for a torque converter coupling. Usually used for extreme heavy duty applications where there would be excessive wear on a clutch.

More like a glorified tractor

A Honda automatic transmission is essentially an automatic shifted manual transmission. 😂

Make sense....

By this measuring a Pontiac Aztek would be faster than an sf90 😂

LOL!!

By this logic, a horse... no, walking is the best vehicle!

@@3nd04 so basically a human

it's called recycling

@@martehoudesheldt5885 No, it’s called planning and good use of precious resources. Instead of the “turn raw materials into garbage as quickly as possible” regime of today. Capitalists claim that competition leads to efficient use of resources, sorry to say I can’t see that. The waste of modern society is unbelievable.

@@subwooferbone Yeah scarcity leads to the efficient use of resources. If something is cheap and plentiful there is little reason to be conservative with its use.

Funny, Tesla did similar things and you probably mocked them for it (I'm thinking of shims that protected parts from tight straps).

@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 Not mocking at all, it is one of the keys to real scale. Say more about the shims...

Even top speed of 35 won't help when you are jettisoned through the plate glass.

@@mikealbrecht3990 They had laminated safety glass - it fogs yellow. Mandatory by 1910 or so.

😂

By next year, guaranteed! lmao

yes, we fell for it too...

Should probably be good enough by the end of the decade. V11 is coming this year and should be a major improvement.

@@user2C47 Yeah right, and Cybertruck will release early 2021, guaranteed!

Same for the basics for the electric motor actually

@@sneaky_krait7271 electric machinery evolves all the time

@@vintyprod Makes it all the more impressive that the AC electric motor still uses same basics

The wheel is an engineering genius. There was no need to reinvent it so it stayed the same.

@@sepg5084 uh, the ford had the rim built in with the tire, with another wooden wheel staying on the car, I get your point, but it did change, also, not a big one but we did go brushless at some point.

I'm the same. Worked for Tesla for over 14 years and was Tesla through and through......now I've left I am such a critic of them 😂

@@Stu_2112 How come, and when did you join?

@@J.PC.Designs Incase you're not kidding, how so? Tesla not only single handily kicked off the BEV revolution, which now accounts for 10% of global sales, yes global (excluding PHEV and HEV). They also added software and hardware to an industry with none of it. While they were at it, they created the most efficient car, safest car, car with best software and hardware capabilities, cars with the best performance for the bucks, and all while making them better for the environment. But most of all, what they did, which far too few know about, is that they revolutionised manufacturing. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just look it up, as it don't have time to explain ti all to you. But some of their biggest innovations stem from the "best part is no part" philosophy elon has. Plus, the giga press.

@@J.PC.Designs haha, everything performs well until it's going more than 30-35 miles per hour in the testing facility. I saw a Tesla that went 60 mph and it was cut in half in the crash. The entire body was ripped apart.

@@sebastianorye2702 lol it's far from efficient or safe. Tesla is neat but it has tons and tons of issues.

quick google search says the Model T started at a price of 21,940 Dollars Today money and got lowerd to 9,550 of today money

As the volume increased the cost of building the T fell, and Henry Ford lowered the price over and over again. Other manufacturers tried to stop him legally and claimed his tactics were communist or socialist or whatever. Really freaked them out. One year Ford promised if they sold a certain number of cars every buyer would get some money back! Indeed it happened. Also Ford was having trouble finding enough workers, and trouble holding onto the workers they had. The average factory pay around a Detroit was already high, about $2.50 a day. Ford announced he would pay $5.00 a day and people working at the other car companies simply walked off their jobs and formed a huge crowd outside the Ford plant. Oh boy the other car companies didn’t like that either. On the other hand, Ford had a private “security department” headed by an honest-to-god mobster whose job was to stop workers from demanding decent conditions (like bathroom breaks. Sound familiar?). His henchmen beat people with baseball bats to maintain control. It culminated in “The Battle of the Overpass” where Ford’s goons actually shot and killed workers and claimed it was in self-defense. So it wasn’t all lollipops and rainbows.

@@ZoeylaRose it started at more than average houshold income or around like that.

The price of the Y will come down and they are already planning a higher volume lower priced vehicle. This year the Y already had price cuts worldwide

@@Supreme_Lobster Don't see it happening.

There's gotta be 3rd one added, the one running on 4 hoverboards. I can't wait to see that video!

I bet the Model T would still be running 🤣

the REAL question is there are a pile of model T's running around 100 yrs later ...how many 23 tesla y's will survive and be drivable in 100 yrs

@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket Well, the way I see it is that somebody is gonna have a "Oh my goodness!" moment in his bathtub one day and run naked through the streets loudly proclaiming that he has decoded gravity, but since he is gonna be doing it in some foreign language (Serbian, oerhaps, to honour Mr. T?) nobody is gonna know wot's wot. But after the immediate neighbourhood chaos is cleared up, our boy is gonna install an experimental gravity switch in his mom's basement (yeah, he lives there...) and flick it on and negate the gravity on the entire block and lift it all up to 10 000 ft. Of course, mom's basement has no windows, so it will only be when our man goes to the bathroom to get some aspirin to mitigate his altitude induced headache that he will distractedly peer out the window and realise what he has done. Not being a very street smart fella, he'll run downstairs and flick his switch to the "off" position, thus earning himself the lowest part in a very deep crater when the entire block lands at Vmax and flattens him as well as everything and everybody in it. Future forensics will be a most advanced thing, and soon they will know what Basement Boy has done, and the Mark II gravity switch will actually be a potentiometer with a radar altitude stabilisation system. And from there, modular hoverboards were developed which were used in many different areas from piano moving to cars.

@@snapon666 No 2023 Y will be operational in 100 yrs, EXCEPT the ones peopl engine swap like rich rebuilds.

As a daily? jesus some people are just built different.

lmao forget about trying to repair a Tesla any more than you can repair Apple products

55 MPH? In a T? I've driven two Model As and they were really happiest at 45 and below. They'd do 55, but really weren't happy at those speeds. At least the Model A had 4-wheel (mechanically-actuated) brakes.

Yes, it goes 55, but how in the world do you stop it?

you built one from literal junk. that's hella recycling

I bet if there were to be a third racer, it would be a mobility scooter. It might win.

@@basedmax9029 there’s a very good chance that a mobility scooter would beat the Model T.

What kind of engineering did you do?

@@sneaky_krait7271 the kind he cant talk about

Hope you do better soon Drew

Oh I just started!

@@nahometesfay1112 Welcome to the shark pool.

Yep, choosing quantity over quality is a risky step, but Tesla wouldn't likely be here if it weren't for that. Oh yeah, that's another thing in common. In the US, there have only been 2 automakers that haven't gone bankrupt, that's Ford and Tesla. Though, it will be interesting how Ford comes out of this EV transition. Right now, my best guess would be that they will be much smaller, but at least alive, something that cant be said for GM.

No, you are taking the wrong lesson away from this. There's nothing about the T that's better for the driver.

@@DrewLSsixI disagree. The touch screen control in the Tesla is a classic example of a developer confusing flashy and convenient to design with actually being superior for the user. For some things, yea it’s useful. For others, like the ability to control the climate controls or radio without taking my eyes off the road, an old school physical control is better. I agree with Matt giving Ford the point here.

The modell T dose 95% of the most importend things a car has to do!The Tesla isnt that big of a improvment!

Yes, no touch screen.

@@DrewLSsixsome vehicles make us no more than steering wheel attendants, and even that point is under threat. I am an engineer who really enjoys interacting with the vehicle I am driving, and interaction and awareness of the mechanical systems moving me down the road is a big part of my enjoyment from driving. So much so that I am building a 540hp na 7L V12 McLaren F1 replica that uses 2 Honda V6's (build log is on Pistonheads). I understand things have moved on as far as safety but engagement with the driving experience is something the T has in abundance.

Transmission, not engine.

@@michaelbenardo5695 dang, look at that typo. thanks! i brain farted.

Three videos in less than 2 weeks, glorious times indeed.

They actually went to integrated cowl tanks in the last two years of the model T (1926 and 1927).

I believe that the Model A was also the first car to use bonded Safety glass, so there is that.

What the fuck are you talking about

I think (but do not know) that when the fuel level on the Model T got low, and one encountered a long, steep up-hill, one was forced to drive it in reverse, as the gravity-fed fuel system would not flow fuel to the carb from the under-seat tank. That's the problem that the cowl-mounted tank solved, by raising the tank higher.

Yes, larger tire walls back then except for the ford exception. That Novel-T was all sorts of cracked up. Every vehicle at the time had something going for them, the model T was just overproduced. That was its charm...or the black paint during 1913-1924.

GM's trouble has little to do with electric cars. They are in the same state as they were in when Japan ate their lunch. Too fat at the top. R&D is too fossilized as in not light on their feet. GM's problems are not because of EVs. They are too deep in for EVs to save them.

Thanks for that info, I was wondering. Have seen a few model T videos and thought the wheel looked different than what I remembered seeing in other cars.

1922 original or a 2022 replica? gotta love how 100 years makes dates a problem.

@@cpufreak101 Heh...you're right. My speedster is a 1922, built by my dad in the early '60s (1960s😁) as the car he wanted when he was 16.

I have pants that will out last a Tesla!

The one in orbit round the sun will probably last quite well.

@@markpitts5194 - For sure. But whoa! The mileage.

@@markpitts5194 the radiation has probably already killed it form working again, if they got it back that is.

Basically nothing made today will outlast a Model T. Simplicity is durability, but simplicity isn't safe enough.

Simplicity definitely still counts. My newest vehicle was built in 2009. It’s a Toyota. It’s pretty darn easy to work on, on the rare occasions it needs it. My oldest vehicle is a 1943 Ford tractor. You can do just about everything on it with like 4 different tools. I’m not kidding. It is devilishly simple to work on. Nothing on it every breaks and I use it often and HARD. Most things just need adjusting, cleaning, and lubricating.

U don’t get around much do you

Now you’re lucky to buy a new one that’ll outlast its factory warranty. The bronco sport is having an issue of fuel injectors leaking onto the engine causing a fire. Their fix? Replace the fuel injectors with a revised inje- Nope! They are running a tube from the injector to the ground lmao. Ford used to be great but now they are extremely cheap and just simply don’t last.

Hi sir big fan

Also seen in the early Mercedes gullwing cars , and probably some others.

You could argue regular dealership maintenance is a subscription feature, because otherwise you couldn't make money selling cars.

@@crackedemerald4930 I wouldn't argue that. You can repair your own car or take it to an independent mechanic. How often your car requires maintenance is entirely dependent on your environment and your usage.

@@acf2802 and the reliability of the car. The T definitely wins out there, though my maintenance trips have been significantly less with any EV I've owned than the 2012 Ford Fiesta I had. That thing went through 6 transmissions! (double-clutch style auto, regular commute driving.. had to replace it every 25k miles or so)

What are they called, which company make those buttons?

@@sallerc the company is called Enhance, the product is called s3xy buttons. I saw the ad on the latest Munro Live video, scroll to the last part to see how it works.

@@DomingoDeSantaClara Thanks!

He He.. even today i would still choose that model-T over the Tesla because it is better overall.. it can go even thru fields where the Tesla would obviously get easy stuck and not even mention the fact that when are sold for the model-T price at any auction one could get at least 2 Tesla.. Ohh and BTW i'm European..

@@poplaurentiu4148 its even better when the vehicle isn't completely jacked up like this sad excuse for a model T they used...

A drivable Model T is pretty affordable. You can get one for 6 to 8k if you don't mind it not being very shiny restored. I drive a model A daily, bought for 13k and I'm 30

@@DrTheRich how reliable and easy is it to get parts for?

@@IeeIee778 Very, not many parts that can break, just make sure you check everything and grease the moving connections every so often. The car has very little plastic pieces (it has some bakelite parts) and no sensors, which is what most often fails on modern cars. And the gravity fed flat head engines just keep running forever. And the times I had something wrong, everything is easy to get to and fix on the side of the road if you know what you're doing. The only time i had to be towed was when i had a flat tire, and my spare tire was still bad and just decorative (i've replaced that one with a new now) Parts are readily available, especially in the US since there are so many still driving around, there is a healthy economy in reproduction and refurbished parts. outside US where i live, it depends on the country. Mine has pretty sizable Model A community, and some webshops that regularly import parts. If you learn to do basic car repair yourself (anything short of body work or engine machining) it's not that much more expensive or even less than upkeeping a quickly rotting away modern tin and plastic car

@@dr5290 Wow, no more spares?! Did not know that. Though I haven't owned a car in a decade or two either. oh well.

Neither my 2010 Sienna nor my 2014 RAV4 EV (with a Tesla drivetrain) had spare tires from the factory: both were supplied with tire-goop-in-a-can and the RAV4 with a 12v air compressor.

Wow engineering has not advanced in 100 how impressive is that? ICE would be the future without Tesla. The world would just be uninhabitable

Would depend on the version but if it had no electrical system then no bakelite

Is someone gonna tell him?

Pressing all 3 pedals to slow down was common practice because it prevented the brake band from wearing out faster than the other two!

@@allareasindex7984 That makes sense. I think for him it was out of panic though :) He was reminded of that story as he piloted his workboat (basically a small wooden Maine lobster boat) through some modest waves. He was able to hang onto the wheel, whereas the nearest handhold for me was a vertical pole which happened to be the exhaust pipe. I guess it occurred to him that steering wheels hadn't always been a reliable handhold for him.

:)

Or just toss in a pic of a DeltaWing...

Well if you had watched his aerodynamics video, you'd know that sharp edges on the front of things are not good, and it's better for them to be round. So probably more like this: 8==D

The average corolla sold in 2021 cost over 31k(we don't have 2022 numbers yet) The last vw beetle(a car Hitler was directly responsible for bringing into existence way back in the day) yeah those aren't cheap either. And suck to do any maintenance on as well.

@@4literv6 That's not the Corolla I'm talking about, it's evolved into an abomination

@@MegaWilderness one of my neighbors has one that's a couple years old now. Couldn't believe it when he shared it cost them over 30k. It's not any nicer imo than our little beater ford fiesta se from 2018 which cost us just 12k brand new at the end of 2018. 🤔

I know the corolla he means, the 70's and 80's ones. The ones some kid can abuse in a paddock for 10 years after being mums daily for 20 years, then i come along 10 years since it last ran, put a battery and fresh fuel in it and drive its beaten up rusty, muddy ass 100km home and it doesnt even overheat. 1977 ke30 se sedan.

@@emmajacobs5575 yes

Good point. I've never seen any information on that. Consumer satisfaction had not been invented, yet? Ha, ha. If you bought it, it was good enough and you were happy.

When the point got added on Tesla I was like "I can't wait to see how poorly this ages."

Tell me you don't understand things further than what the media tells you think, without directly stating it.

@@jsquared1013 Just write "sheeple" and save us some time, yeah?

There are 2 intake ports and 4 exhaust ports. In a stock T there are 6 guide rings, these are just sheet metal rolled into a ring. Then 2 gasket cards, each with 3 holes for the ports, with cutouts so they hang on the studs. It’s a bit of pain to juggle both manifolds, make sure the rings are in place, and that the gaskets are also in place, AND THEN tighten the 4 nuts that clamp all of it against the block.

@@WreckRod I guess it is! hahaha We've been in need of a third hand for a while.
