Regarding Tesla, you forgot to add that shareholders recently overweeningly re-approved Musk's original pay package that was struck down in Delaware. Because of this, nothing was saved by these attorneys, so anything they are payed is fully a loss to Tesla shareholders.
@@Tommy2tone762 It doesnt make the story as salacious. The lawyers won but there was no value returned to the shareholders. They revoted again for the same thing. Proves that there was no harm - especially because there are significantly more anti-Musk shareholders now then there were back then.
@@bobbybishop5662 The judge could do anything she wants but will most likely (not my opinion but legal talking heads) be overturned in a higher court. She was hanging on the fact that they didnot tell shareholders that their board wasn't independent enough. Those excuses can't be said again. I am not putting it past her tho.
@12:12 I'm looking forward to all the electrical voltages going to 48 volts and the *CANBUS* going to redundant Gigabit Ethernet cables. (And run the cable on *_both_*_ sides_ of the vehicle rather the method *Tesla* is using in the *CyberTruck* of redundant cables _overlaid_ atop each other.)
"Stock" EV races might actually be interesting again, if they went back to the historical basis of NASCAR, and ran STOCK EVs. It would be interesting to see what manufacturers would come up with if the designs went back to a "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" design incentive. The engineers would certainly get a kick out of being turned loose to get performance and durability experience out of racing their car designs. Tesla roadster vs Porsche Taycan vs Hyundai N vs E-Corvette could be a real draw for the younger fans, uninterested in watching noisy, smelly, obsolete ICE racers that bear no resemblance to their 4-cyl twin-turbocharged, but still anemic, street versions sold at dealerships.
I'm really enjoying all the Stellantis news lately, eaven the not so good news like today's report. It really sucks how they've been doing lately but as someone thats bleeds Hemi orange I still wanna hear about it. Thank you Autoline! 👍
Cobalt, then lithium, now copper. The electric grid can't handle the load, highway barriers can't deal with 6,000# vehicles. It's always something. Today doesn't work for tomorrow. Duh!
As an educator with no real background in automobiles besides my grandparents small shop, I feel as if I could run Chrysler better than what's been going on with them for well over 20 years.
A Robo taxi running maybe 16 hour a day and doing 100,000 miles / 160,000 kilometers a year can replace 5 to 7 cars that spend 90-95% of their time parked.
Probably even more if you consider people who would be the first to get rid of their cars, e.g. the ones who drive even less than the average. Say less than 10000km/year, so you could be replacing double the the cars when extrapolating from just driven distance. In reality it is probably much more.
@8:38 *ArAmCo* sees the *_earnings cliff_* looming in their future as we stop just setting their product on fire and are diversifying. The demand for their products will settle down to a far more manageable level that will make far more efficient use of oil and need far less maintenance.
bullshit!!! they are always going to sell alot of oil and gas, in fact your EVs wont exist, let alone renewables, infrastructures like roads, bridges, railroad, rockets, ships..... all the millions of oil byproducts used literally everywhere.
litterally everyone knows about that thats not the problem! the problem is switching to the voltage, in europe they have had 24volts in bigger vehicles and trucks which america doesnt even have lol!!!

That's why all EV's use 400 and 800 volt electrical systems, not 48.
So why are Gogoro and other battery swapping companies doing so well? Scooters and motorcycles seem a perfect use for swappable batteries. Here in the US motorcycles and scooters are toys but in Asia and Africa, they work for a living.
@@dertythegrower its not faster than fueling a diesel truck, a diesel truck can literaly have up to 3-4x the range of the electric version lol!!! fuelling isnt even a problem with ICE.
@9:39 Holy [expletive]! 1,300 horses. That will mean speeds will have to be electronically limited or racetracks will have to be redesigned to the higher speeds. (i hope it's going to be the latter.)
I love the idea of an electric Nascar, but no one will go to the races if it isn't stupidly loud. And fake engine noise is even worse than no noise at all. Some hook has to be developed to make EV racing exciting and exhilarating. I don't know what that is. Death race 2000?
According to Nasdaq 22 million metric tons was used in 2023. Or, 22.000.000.000.000 kg. Every ICE car uses 18-49 punds That's 15 kg. 80M car are produced, so 1.200.000.000 kg copper in ICE cars. A typical EV requires over 132 pounds of copper. That's 60 kg. So, 60*80M is 4.800.000.000. 4,8M - 1,2M is 3,6M kg more. That's 1,65% more copper. (22T kg). Please be serius, 1,65% more copper. Why are Autoline refering to those FUD reports? This is just propaganda, and I thought that Autoline fact checked those things. According to researchgate numbers this is less than the increase from one year to another.
nonsense!!!! copper is not just for EVs, its for the charging cables, for charging stations, more transformators, more renewables like wind and solar needs tons and tons of copper, offshore windfarms, power stations and more thats alot of copper.
The "experts" at hybrid car companies think hybrids are better for their bottom line than EV's. They need way more service. We at autoline like to repeat whatever they need us to say.
hybrids doesnt need any more service than ICE, in fact toyota hybrids have no more belts, its all electric water pump, the alternator is one electric drive motor..... its hybrids from bmw and others that needs maybe some maintaining.
NASCAR EVs would be good race. Could have 100 kWh packs held on by 6 bolts. Car comes to a stop in the pit, a flat trolley slides under, car jacked up, 7 crew undo bolts and cables/cooling hoses. Pack slid out, another slid in, bolted, trolley slid out, and car away in 30 seconds. A NASCAR would probably go 200 miles on a 100 kWH pack
48v architecture will takeoff when the high end legacy manufacturers decide it's time to go ahead with their transition plans....... because THEY are serious about continuing in the auto manufacturing business
the German Big-3 OEM's (Mercedes, Audi [VW], BMW) have already long deployed 48V in it's "proper use case" to simultaneously give the best ROI to the company and best benefit to their customers. however unlike the GROSSLY INEFFICIENT Cybertruck, the German vehicles are already super efficient to begin with, so what this means is they DON'T NEED to incur the EXORBITANT COSTS to create a full system wide 48V architecture for very little gain at this late date in "optimized" 12V history (ref: the Law of Diminishing Returns). however in stark contrast, Tesla Corp HAD NO CHOICE but to pursue 48V, because if they didn't...? the "Cyber Rhombus" (additionally handicapped by 4680) would SUCK EVEN MORE in terms of efficiency than it already does, aw crap... that's right, an existing 12V window motor or wiper motor be it in a Gas car or an EV has the EXACT SAME EFFICIENCY as the costly AF 48V window motors and wiper motor in the $100,000 Dollar Cybertruck when the windows and wipers are NOT BEING USED.🤑😀 yeah, so in that recent ice cold Winter of Chicago (when all those Tesla's were dying) you can bet NOBODY was driving around and rolling their windows up and down like a MANIAC. so in like fashion in the "desert dry" conditions of Summer in say Phoenix or Las Vegas where they get very little rainfall, short of the occasional blast of washer fluid to clear dust build up (an event that lasts for all of 10 secs) you can bet NOBODY is driving around either with their wipers on 24/7/365... sorry kids, but you've been DECEIVED by a "48V Con" of conspicuously NOT not having many of the Cybertruck's Loads (and related Amp Draw) discussed in terms of DUTY CYCLE which is something REAL Engineers (not laymen) would take into consideration. for example in an EV like the supposed "lowly" Chevy Bolt, the Amp Draw of those 2 "consumers" i just mentioned is MORE THAN OFFSET by the car's ability to REGEN up to a MASSIVE 70 kW (true story). in fact the Bolt's FWD electric motor is so powerful it can technically deliver a HIGHER PEAK NUMBER back into it's battery (at stop lights) when it's being driven around by an owner than when it's going nowhere, sitting plugged into a 50 kW EA station. 😅
Tesla again leads Legacy Suppliers into the 22th century, kicking and screaming , but they will come. Wont be surprised if Tesla has given the 48 v blueprints to Chinese suppliers already, after all Tesla has Giga Shanghai there already.😂
@@AuralioCabal-nl8gi Looks like someone is excited for the countdown to the ReuterTaxi on 8/8!

Nobody is interested unless they decide to use the same steer-by-wire system used in the CyberFlop supplied by ZF Friedrichshafen which requires 48 volts.
India and China should mine copper, nickel cobalt, uranium, and other metals and commodities in Russia for pennies on the dollar. Doing so will put downward pressure on global commodity prices. I only hope Russia, and Russian people see no benefit from increased metal mining in their own country. They deserve nothing for invading Ukraine.
China knows better than to believe this idiotic study. For that reason, they'll continue to dominate while we get bogged down by these meaningless studies.
Hybrids still use finite Fossil fuels while Sunshine and Wind always around and battery technology improves daily and COPPER IS HIGHLY RECYCKABLE , ,I'd like to see you recycle GASOLINE Fumes in you lungs, The Chinese aim to dominate in EVs,IF THE LEGACY AUTO COMPANIES are to survive they would build only BEVs,by YEAR 2030 , a scant 5.5 yrs away , Yes , that TIME BOMB is TICKING, You read it first here ,from me!
re: "Electric NASCAR sounds like another Bud Light story…" exactly, anybody paying attention should already know this is NOT going to end well. Nascar...? REALLY...? good luck with that.
