So we have built an infrastructure that provides explosive fluids that anybody with a driver's license can use all over the US. Like every 20 miles there is an explosive fuel dispenser for nearly anyone to use. But you say it is crazy, or impossible to build an infrastructure for charging electric cars. I'm not saying we should or should not do this, I'm saying it is silly to think that it can not be done and be done effectively. I suppose you would rather have a carbureted engine with nearly no suspension, glass that breaks and kills people, and no seat belts. Yeah that problem could never be fixed right? I love your shows generally but you're showing your grandpa age by yelling "get off my lawn" whenever you see something unfamiliar. I get it, electric cars are hyped. All cars are hyped and outdated. That doesn't mean we can not create something better, nor do we need to go back to 60's technology. Come on Scotty get into the 21st century. There is no going back.
@@philipmartin2919 : According to the claim, Trump once called fallen soldiers "suckers" and "losers" while talking to people in his inner circle. I bet YOU Elon calls Tesla owners who bought Self Driving system from him "suckers" and "losers".😂😂🤣🤣
Politicians have been using forward statements (election promises) for centuries. Promise everything before an election, then after getting elected promptly forget about your forward statements (election promises).
exactly... at least it isnt against the law for politicians unlike corporations that have to abide by their products promises.. And when those promises affect the safety of people your corporation is on the hook.. Ford and Chevy had to pay for making cars they knew exploded and weren't safe but were telling customers that they were safe and the cars worked.
"Spring water must come from a spring with an underground source. Mineral water must contain at least 250 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved solids, and artesian well water must be tapped from a naturally pressurized underground aquifer."
If this were true, though it is not, it would just be payback for Elon liking/planning to vote for Trump, and admiring RFK Jr., no doubt! The Dems are falling on their own swords by enormous mistakes, not valor. Painful to watch. I used to be one when i was Pollyanna Sleepwalker. G.I. Joe would "fight for the soul of our nation". Aargggh. Why didn't anybody tell us earlier he was a less-than-average bloke? No wonder he, the prop, was excommunicated a couple of years ago. Can't play the Catholic or Christian card anymore. LIke RFK, Jr, and also like Trump, for Elon I love the saying "What they resist, persists". BIG.
@@phenry13845 The software can be used, but cannot be described as 'full self driving' or 'autopilot' ( mainly because it patently is not ), just like in UK the EV makers cannot claim 'zero emissions' in adverts, they can only claim zero tailpipe emissions because most EV are charged with power from gas power stations and bio-fuel ( which is anything but green ).
@@phenry13845 A German high Court found that German consumers can be assumed to be fully aware that Teslas are not “full self driving”. So your post is factually accurate, but I suggest it’s a lie of omission. Not to mention “full self driving” is in English.
@@phenry13845 NOW we know where $56 million comes from that Elon supposed receive. . Elon scammed car buyers $15k using false claim of his self driving systems in the cars don't work as he claims. Elon should be arrested for scamming tesla car buyers for more than 6 years. In 2024 the scam is now $8k😂😂🤣🤣
The electric companies could charge less when solar panels are producing the most. Then electricity wouldn’t need to be stored or sold to a neighboring state. But greed won’t let that happen. So electricity is cheapest at night.
LOL, people with domestic solar panels can no longer get huge feed in tariffs because the power companies have their own solar and they both peak at same time. It is not worth domestic solar panel owners selling power to the energy companies because they get truly miserable payments. If people based the payback period for their solar systems on high feed in payments, they have been very disappointed.
@@gdubyadubya8961 They've only been in power two years after 10 years of the coalition, so that's a pretrty stupid, biased and uninformed comment. Do you actually know anything about the electricity market?
@@RO-vh8ln It's also because politicians sell dreams which are intangible they succeed by having people vote for them and put their trust they will do their jobs.
I seen a news report yesterday saying a guy bought a new EV truck to go on his Booked vacation with his family and they only made it 240 miles then ran out of power, No charging stations on the way so the left the truck at a ford dealer and rented a gas car for the trip, I don't know how people are still falling for the EV scam after all the reports of no range and no charging stations and no rules for price at each charge station, I seen one guy said he paid $200 to recharge his ev at a charge spot, The only way id drive an EV is if it was free then id use it to get around town but even then id keep my gas car because im in canada and the cold kills EVs and with the power going out so much here we need gas just to make sure we can go when we need to, I still think we should have been allowed to just use EV golf carts in town because they are cheaper and they would get the job done on nice summer days, The hole EV set up was a scam from the start,
@@actualfacts1055 You make a point. I think, having worked in government and the private sector, government tries to create a desired outcome, versus a subsidization, per se. Eliminating poverty among senior citizens and children, creating and distributing vital medicine, providing common defense , even cheap gasoline (!) are outcomes everybody should consider, debate and possibly embrace. The private, capital sector is not able or interested in doing those things as a primary function, nor should it be.
Near where I live, there's a pumped storage system. And at night, what they do when the electricity is super cheap industrial wise, they pump water uphill. And then the day starts and they open a flood gate and let it flow back through a turbine generating power.
Scotty mentioned a very good point about the automatics and CVTs with the vibration issue at higher speed when they get older. So, go with a manual transmission and be happy for a life. Beside the low cost.
In the first fifty years of the industry, how many ICE car companies over promised and under delivered? In the early years of development how much infrastructure was missing that was necessary for gasoline vehicles to be a viable form of transportation? How profitable and economically viable would ice car companies be without government subsidies, tax breaks, and poor treatment of employees? I hear many older people going on about how Electric car companies are dumb or destined to fail who seem to forget that our current transportation infrastructure nearly failed multiple times and that it only became what it is because of fraudsters and large scale manipulation. Ice vehicle transportation needs an upgrade. It will be a great day when it is a foot note of history.
Yeah you've been touting the demise of this company for years now and for some reason they're selling more cars than ever so yeah you need to stop being a Tesla hater and start saying they're okay they do what they're supposed to do and yet you continue this I hate Tesla over and over again over multiple years although I love you and respect you and have been a subscriber to your channel for a long time this Tesla hating needs to stop .
In Michigan we have a bussiness that is putting chargers in state parks and rest areas the issue is they are diesel powered kind of defetes the purpose
I also speak catese. We rescued an older cat who loved cars. (He originally lived with travelling carnival workers.) He loved placing his own order at the drive-thru.
Thanks Scotty! I've been flaring off my excess natural gas for years. There's just no ideal way to store it. And when it demands to be flared, what's a man gonna do.
About the scraping sound of the Toyota: I had exactly the same issue on my Lexus IS250 some time ago - scraping sound when turning left. When i took it to the car shop - they said that they can see nothing wrong neither with the suspension, nor with the brakes. They just took apart the callipers, cleaned and lubricated them, then put everything back, and - viola - the sound disappeared.
I saw somewhere I think it was Australia maybe the power company is now billing solar panel owners for any electricity they pump back into the grid. And this is after years of those same companies/agencies asking customers to install solar and they would get PAID for the power they put into the grid
7:06 I had this problem in my Tacoma, it turned out that the dust shield was rubbing on the rotor. There's a ton of stuff that can rub in a brake system, but my advice from debugging that problem is that if you get the truck up on a jack stand and take the wheel off you should be able to figure it out based on what scrapes when the rotor is spun.
To be fair, if the idea is to downsize, and they cant afford to, thats because they were speculating and did not pay off their loan. If they did, then they would have the full priceto cover the lesser home and some walking around cash. Thats on them for taking on a new 30 mortgage at say 45 years old and relaizing too late they wouldnt be making the income needed to pay it off after 65
lol people said the same thing about the internet when it was first released. "They tried electric ages ago"?? Don't know if you know this... but this is the first time electric cars are being subsidized and pushed by every major car manufacturer. Also don't know if you're aware but technology advances every year. Electric car tech is about 5% of what it will be in 10-20 years. They haven't even started putting solid state batteries in them yet. Those are lighter in weight, and can be charged perhaps twice as fast as the current lithium ion batteries in 99% of electric cars. Patience my friend. The technology will catch up, thats for sure.
@@LUk3.M. Battery tech will hopefully see incremental improvements, but that's about it. And those improvements will come perhaps in charge/discharge rates and cycle life, not so much so in gravitational or volumetric energy density. Electric cars are about as good as they will ever be. Electric motors are up to 90% efficient, inverters are up to 85% efficient, drag coefficients are more than 75% efficient and at the practical edge of reasonable limitations, gear boxes... the same. And cars weigh "X", be that 1 ton or 2. Suggesting that Electric car tech is 5% of what it will be in 10-20 years just doesn't make sense. That means everything has to be 20X better. It is a physical impossibility to take something that is 90% efficient and make it 20X better. It's a physical impossibility to take a drag coefficient of 0.25 and make it 20X better. The same with inverters. The mindset that EV's are at the same point of evolution as the Model T Ford was 100 years ago couldn't be more wrong. All of the technology that goes into the critical functions of EV's is drawn from 150 years of automotive, electrical and industrial developments. Those developments have plateaued.
@@LUk3.M. I hate to break it to you, but with the exception of improvements to battery charging rates, discharge rates and cycle life, the EV that you buy today will be essentially unchanged in 50 years time. The tech that goes into EV's is the result of 150+ years of refinement and development, not just the past few years. When something is already 90% efficient, there's no "20 times better" to come. It's done.
@@Punkpsychobilly To make us feel better about all the subsidies we're paying people via tax relief and charging station subsidies so the wealthy can buy a brand new shiny toy to put in the driveway.
When I was in a university (almost 20 years ago), we had a class assignment for future energy. I focused on energy storage. Everybody dismissed my aim on energy storage technology. Now this university in Berkeley, CA has a dedicated energy storage research center.
That's Retarded... You should ha 5:03 ve been Researching Free Energy/Over Unity as it already exists and is being used in Plain Site. Turbo Fans are Over Unity.
You’ve been telling us tesla is a failure for 10 years now lol Meanwhile they’ve sold more cars than anyone, people LOVE their teslas and the company is bigger and more valuable than ever.
If there's too much green energy, you don't need to pay people to use it, lol... The battery charging circuit shuts off when the battery is at max. And resumes after some battery discharge. They have computerized circuit breakers. Or like another person mentioned, if the battery is connected to the grid, the power company sends you a check instead of a bill. Some power companies just give a credit now and have become stingier because so many homeowners with panels in sunny locations aren't good for business.
If I had that much excess electricity, and shinra wasn't sending me a check, just a "credit", I would just disconnect from the power grid altogether, and be self sufficient. Why should I give the power company my excess power if I get nothing out of it?
The utility companies can take your money direct from your account, but when they owe YOU money, they send you a $10 check. All the government subsidies for solar panels are with the stipulation that you won't make the utility company lose any money because you make too much power. You'll get your $10 nuisance checks in the summer, and they'll take money direct out of your bank account the rest of the year.
@@harrymills2770 They can take you to court if you owe them money, but unless you explicitly give them permission (via autopay), they absolutely cannot just "take" money from your bank account. If you pay outright for your solar, and forgo the government subsidies then your rights should be even higher. What I said before, just completely disconnect if you have that much power. F 'em!
It needs some supervision but I have seen videos of the Tesla vehicles basically driving themselves. It's based on a system of self learning AI. The AI learns by analysing and adapting thousands and thousands of inputs teaching it how to respond in most every situation. If isn't fully self driving now, it will be very soon.
The amazing thing about Tesla is that Elon had the balls to build a real car company… not just some silly supercar brand. I just hate that everyone is rooting for its demise. What’s wrong with you people.
Scotty, I know this a car channel, but the guys at Edison Motors are doing some cool, practical stuff making hybrid trucks. Big trucks. Worth a mention and visit.
I read an article that stated more natgas is flared than collected in the US.... why do we pay so much for it and why isn't it being used to lower electricity costs? FACT!
I put 2000 miles a month on my Tesla. Electricity Bill went up $125. I don’t really miss gas. I had a Bolt prior. Bolt and GM is a train wreck. Screw GM.
I am torn between thinking that Tesla should have to pay back all of the money people paid for "FULL SELF DRIVING" with interest, or that everyone that bought the "FUTURE FULL SELF DRIVING" should have to pay the federal government the same amount they paid Tesla for being so stupid.
I love Scotty most of the time,but I find it surprising that he seems to root against electric cars. To me as a pilot, it is would like me rooting against a jet or turboprop as a piston engine owner. It doesn’t make sense to me.
Lot of people quick to hate on EVs or fanboy over EVs in these comments EVs have less moving parts and induction motors that are incredibly reliable and efficient. Regenerative braking also recaptures energy that would otherwise be converted into heat. So less brake wear. No tailpipe emissions which makes air cleaner in residential areas at least. EVs have genuine plusses The big negative to EVs is the battery technology not meeting the high standards for energy density, longevity, safety, and refueling time found with ICE. The infrastructure for refueling is still in its infancy. It’s being pushed hard on people and people are understandably weary and bothered. Maintenance on high voltage car systems needs a whole new level of technicians and mechanics to be trained to work on them at risk of death by electrocution. Even the promise of EV’s being green is with the big asterisk that most electricity generated on earth is generated by fossil fuels (incredibly dependent on where you live and local energy generation sources though). So there are legit reasons to push back on EV’s… or at least not be a huge fan of them being pushed on society so hard. I think Scotty doesn’t root against EV’s, he consistently seems to point out the flaws though and that’s fair
Electric storage battery fire in San Diego has been going on for weeks. The company is going to build two more storage units in more-populated areas. Whoopie!
well in rethort i do see all the time people just not needing to do anyhting at the wheel, fully engulfed in thier phone, while the car drives totally fine.
Well scotty, it can and it does, i own it and have fsd... and its pretty incredible.. not perfect 100% of the time. But I suggest you put your butt in one and get a demo before you spew your inaccurate info.
@@romktch17Yes, Teslas don’t need mechanics. I however am an expert on lithium based batteries and EV motors. I didn’t buy a Tesla, though, I rented one and then bought all the stock I could afford.
There is a difference between between FSD and autopilot. Autopilot is what they are being sued for. Autopilot is exactly what the name implies, autopilot on a plane does not take off or land it maintains altitude and velocity. Scotty you are the one making false claims, FSD 12.5.1 is as its name implies full self driving end to end. It works extremely well and is progressing extremely fast. FSD 12.5.1 is close to as reliable as a human, soon they will be vastly better. My wife owns a model y and it is the best vehicle we have ever owned. It has saved us a ton of money and is a superior ride.
Musk is a good man for the innovation he’s brought forward, and I wish him success. I don’t own a Tesla, and probably won’t for a long time, but for some people, those cars offer definite advantages over IC vehicles.
Actually a lot of EV charging stations work like that. Many Tesla super chargers are Electrify America stations use a gigantic 1 megawatt hour battery that gets trickle charged all day. That can about handle 10-15 cars before going flat, but recharging takes a long time. Really it only works in areas people don't constantly use them which is fine as EVs only use these chargers for a quick top up or on road trips. The advantage of charging at home is not needing as much of this infrastructure.
@davidsimmons8447 sounds adequate to me. If the battery is flat it still charges the stations at around 75kw as they still have a 480V supply. It will be slower but still incredibly fast. About a full charge in an hour. Many EVs only charge at that rate anyways past 50-60% charge. If you needed road trips that badly, well then maybe an EV wasn't for you. Nothing wrong with vehicles for specific lifestyles. Saying EVs are worthless is like saying everyone should buy the same exact style or car like a pickup. People buy what suits their life. If you have to change your life for your car, then it clearly wasn't for you.
When the electric company is asking people to not use as much air conditioning and to reduce electric demand, I highly doubt the infrastructure could also withstand powering all of our cars at home.
@@JohnSmith-zi9or The infrastructure isn't there, and crumbling as we speak. It's a pipe dream full of good intentions by some, and bad calculations by all.
WRONG!! TRAIN LOCOMOTIVES that run on electric traction motors that are powered by electricity supplied by huge diesel powered generators are electric, but internal combustion engine cars that have and generate electricity are NOT electric because the electrical system on cars does NOT PROVIDE ANY motive power to the drive train, it ONLY runs the electrical accessories. And dim bulbs like this guy that bellieve that crap are the suckers that buy EV's. 😅 🤣😂
Okay so you don't like Electric Cars. I don't like them either as battery technology is not sufficient yet. That said, I don't understand your obvious glee at Elon Musk having troubles. This is a great man who: - Created the first payment system that we all use to purchase items online securely. - Created a massive car company that is pushing the boundaries of technology. - Created the most successful space launch company the world has every seen. - Created the a world wide Internet Satellite system like we have never seen before. Your greatest accomplishment Scotty is changing brake rotors and using a machine that plugs into the car that tells you what is wrong. So maybe you should not try to denigrate a great man who is exponentially smarter and more productive than 100 Scotty Kilmers will ever hope to be. So you can go ahead and check your ego dude.
It's full self driving supervised with robust warnings at point of sale and during use. Most of your audience isn't that stupid. Extremely entertaining content though!
Where I live there is one ev charger and that is the only one for absolute miles. Evs are also rare as hens teeth here,so I guess 1 charger every 200klm is fine, lol.
Rare as Henson teeth. I love it 😂 we're right behind you guys small town in Upstate NY, pop. 2500. One of the many rural communities screwed over by NYC sucking up all the tax $. We have 1 charge station unless you wanna drive 1 1/2-2 hrs to one of the nearby cities. And at -10 degrees in the winter. These batteries wont last long here.
