Throwback: Elon Musk With First 2008 Tesla Roadster - Jay Leno’s Garage 

I think that you meant "fade", not color...

@@PhilipReeder I think you mean "tone" not fade

@@deadrabbit666666 No, I meant "fade".

@Christian Barrett nah you're wrong. its tone not fade

lmao

Accurate though.

He is right though. Go watch a steam traction engine pulling sometime. They can have only 20ish HP but can pull a 4 or 5 bottom plow in the field. A 20HP ICE tractor would struggle with 2 bottoms. Steam, like electric, has unworldly amounts of torque on hand at any RPM.

Not many living people have had a chance to drive a steam car...

Surprised Elon , didn't call the body , " the exoskeleton " like the new p.o.s electric truck .😂😂😂

I was waiting for "It's like the hand of God pushing you"

🤯

Or Leno scrambled spells Elon

omg this has to mean something..

Both as rich as each other

Good one.

Lol Nice joke

OMG LMFAO awesome joke

The falcon heavy launch was epic! 🚀

😂😂😂😂😂

Kori Hoornstra he screwed someone over??

YUP!!!!

I would love to see him nerd out over his duesy Js for hours.

@@JohnDoe-nz6bk he screwed over Conan O'Brien

@@jamesagwe2981 ha ha ha 🤭😎

... he'll be happier when his company secures contracts for integrating Nuralink into the human population.

@@TheUnholyPosole There we will have our catgirls.

I bet Jay never aired it because he didn't really believe in the electric cars.

a nice distraction from people realizing he is baning Ms.Turd, almost stabbing Johnny Depp 😉😂😂💩😂😂

Yeah. I think a lot of people were holding him back back then

Scheduled for 2030

Nuance Bro , hope not, setting new standards in ugly.

Good call

The cyberpunk episode just dropped. Good prediction.

get off these comments you politically fence sitting coward and just choose a side

We will see it with the cybertruck test

I hope he shows up stoned AF.

Go watch the Joe Rogan interview :)

@barefoot arizona Love my Tesla Model 3 and I'm a single working mother of 2. You don't have to be rich to enjoy owning one of these amazing vehicles, just be wise with how you're spending (and saving) your income. I've already reserved for a CyberTruck in the future! Hopefully I'll never purchase a gasoline vehicle ever again!

Looks like a James Bond villain.

Forearm pads?

What about Street boys like you guys 😅

Still faster, or is that not the point anymore?

@@blackpearlaruba9227 The point is that Leno spaced out/didn't listen/ or a bad cut. That moment was just funny to me, maybe to some other people

I think Jay wanted the specific weight.

Ol boys getting senile

@@victorkonon pretty sure he was asking for the specific wieght

I have $80000 invested in Tesla stock.

@@NFLYoungBoy223 he was talking about Jay

Brian Fedirko sure

And now the purple hair people hate him because he wants free speech.

Look at him now. Lol. The feds don't like the Twitter thing right now.

I can't be the only one who really wants a steam car after watching a lot of Jay Leno

Your not the real Jeremy wade

Cracked me up haha

He was asking for a lb figure

Jay is a typical American. Although he's much more humble than anyone who owns half of the world's antiques, but he is very vague. I have noticed that English people are incredibly precise with their words. Americans tend to kind of dance around the engineering details with fuzzy descriptions that don't quite make sense. Jay will describe his 1 of 1 ancient electric car, and just say "it has deep cycle batteries."

@@Ritalie Musk is not "English" - and I really hope you don't think everyone not from the U.S. is English. You know, cause youre Murican.

@@mr4kids.866 What is the point you think you have? He assessed the Model S very favourably and aired that episode in 2012. He also purchased an S for himself. There can be no doubt that he has been supportive of Tesla products for longer than many car reviewers and "experts" have been, even if he was sceptical at first. Your petty cynicism is unconvincing and unnecessary.

@@mr4kids.866 it aired, just not on youtube. Since that was back in 08

Why Jay didn't post this video when Elon came over to the garage? I can only guess why. But now that Elon has a proven track record of hyper success, well now this video is available. I'm glad the video is up. I've been following Elon's amazing trajectory, and his early accomplishments,. Way back then I considered him hyper cool.

@@mr4kids.866 it aired on CNBC

Elon Musk himself admitted to shareholders that the Roadster back then was a complete disaster. It had a lot of 'unpublished' problems. You can see him in his video fumbling in his explanations. He clearly didn't know what he was doing, and he admitted to that too. Tesla lost money on every roadster they built until late 2009. But, he has come a long way.

My chart only goes back to 2010, but even then, that would give you about $14. It's now trading at $725. Watchout, a SERIOUS crash is coming, bringing the DJIA down to 2500-6000 over some years. One more high in equities could mean all-over-red-rover. Better be ready. Those with cash will be able to buy anything they want at any price they want.

I purchased a Model S P85 in early 2013, stock was $34 a share. 🤔 If I purchased the stock then I could have a fully loaded 2020 S with a million dollars too. 😳😩 oh well, at least I didn’t buy the Fisker Karma. 🔥

Yes buy it now and forget about it, but also keep some cash as stated. It will most likely dip in the depression, but has incredible upside still. Tesla could own Energy in the next few years as well as Autonomy for mass transit. How is this not the one to buy? Battery Day!!!

@@Bfould3120 I laughed way too hard when I read fisker karma hahaha

@@soulpedal tsla already had its dip in the market it dropped as low as 370 during the early stages of the pandemic now its trading at 820 and even higher conne Monday after today's successful SpaceX launch

But he never said: THISS!!

I want to see Doug replace Jimmy Fallon.

It was aired, just not on yt

well Elon makes fiction into reality and Jeremy reality into fiction

It was supposed to use the Lotus chassis but they had to make so many changes it's a different car.

It's important tho know that Clarkson's "facts" are for entertainment purposes only. Even he says this and is amazed when people believe that stuff.

Dude, that news is over two years old at this point. Everyone's seen it or heard of it by now.

Lol its like 2 years ago

Elon Musk has risen to the rank of King Nerd... Long live the king!

@@thecenterleftlibertarian53 you been watching alot of Jay Leno

Late 2021 or early to mid 2022

He already had an episode in the 2020 Roadster, not sure about the channel though.

They've already filmed it. It's just under embargo atm. It will likely release in the next few weeks.

They already brought the 2020 Roadster a while ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sw51nzQiWfw.html just not elon, Franz

@@osamabinladen824 Aren't you dead?

That's genius level right there! I know a guy that talks and acts just like Elon , you can ask him anything about anything and he can perfectly answer and explain it at your level. Pretty amazing the human genius brain.

That's the use case where BEV do best. A known route or shift near a charging station. That massive torque & fine detailed control is soo useful and probably extra safety. The best thing about BEV is not the emissions stuff, it's the massive capability.

From 2008 to 2020, Tesla cars alone have improved so much! 2008 talk about 100,000 miles life in a pack, now 1,000,000 miles. 2008 220 range now talking about 400-500 mile range. 2008 3-4hr charge, now 30 minutes or less to charge. Imagine when they have 100 years worth of constant improvements what they will be like

@@ColinRichardson imagine, we could already have those 100 years

Colin Richardson technology is a hell of a drug

We had electric fork lifts in the 1970s.

Americans call it a Canadian Tuxedo

Gee, never heard that before. Except in every single Jay Leno's Garage episode comment section.

I have a "sasquatchian tuxedo". It's made out of body hair, and I wear it all the time. Even in the shower.

Go Riders !!!

Bauchman Turner-Overdrive was rockin' the denim wayyyy back - the thousand-pound wall of denim.

@t c Just like all those wasteful gas cars that have really powerful engines that aren't needed that burn much more gas than is needed and have 4-6 empty seats most of the time to go only 50 miles a day. Oversized and overpowered cars aren't limited to just EVs. But if society is going to have oversized and overpowered cars then an EV is a much cleaner choice. You could make the same argument that all gas cars shouldn't have more than 100 hp because it's a waste of resources. The real question would be what percent of the cars in the world not only just travel on average 50 miles a day but NEVER travel more than 50 miles. Because once you have a car that can travel only 50-80 miles then it isn't very practical to travel 300-400 miles when needed. What do those people do then if they want to travel longer? They have two choices. They can stop and charge 5 times every 60 miles anytime they want to go on a 300 mile trip. Or they can rent another car that can go 300-400 miles. But now you have multiple cars in the equation and you will still need to make plenty of 300-400 mile cars to supplement the 50-80 mile cars. Sure there will be a very tiny percent of cars worldwide that will stay only in urban centers and never venture beyond 100 miles but that won't be a majority of cars. It is a much more simple system to build 300 mile range EVs for most and have niche EV products that are urban city EVs. Another advantage of longer range EVs is that on a daily basis they use a much smaller percent of their state of charger resulting in less wear of each cell in the pack leading to much better pack longevity. The smaller the range target you aim for in building a pack the more buffer you need to add at the top and bottom of the pack in order to have an acceptable life on the pack. So a 50-80 mile EV needs to have an extra 20-30% in reserve locked out from the user since each cell will be cycled almost fully every day to drive 50 miles. 1 cell in a 80 kWh pack is the same as the next 1 cell in a 20 kWh pack. Driving 50 miles a day in the 80 kWh EV each cell will only be cycled 15% a day while in the 20 kWh EV each cell will be cycled 63% a day. If each cell is rated for 1500 cycles that means 120,000 miles for the 20 kWh EV (20 kWh usable but 24 kWh with buffer) while the 80 kWh pack would have a life of 500,000 miles. Most cars won't last 500,000 miles but 120,000 isn't enough. It's better to have a theoretical 500,000 miles of life for in the real world outcomes can be higher or lower. And if the car does indeed end its life before 500,000 miles then the cells in this pack will still have utility to be reused as stationary storage until they are eventually recycled.

@@flipadavis I think there is an argument to be said that Tesla made electric cars, Not Nerdy, and distance. It's a good argument but it's impractical to live with minimalistic needs. why don't we all get electric scooters with heavy winter Jackets? It's just not how people live. We also need to think about our electric grid. We need some serious infrastructure for everyone to go on electric cars.

Michael Carmack I hope so

_They're still tryin' to figure out how Franz busted the glass. xD_

Dead just like the rest of the company.

I would frickin LOVE a Jay Leno's Garage cybertruck episode.

When it's in production, which isn't due until 2021(Though Corona has undoubtly delayed this till 2022). Also, it's not going to look like the prototype, due to vehicle safety regulations and pedestrian safety.

Orcawhale Elon and Jay Leno already filmed the episode a couple months ago. It was Model Y cyber truck and roadster. Video was never released yet. So it’s going to happen before production

Lol

yeah why was this not aired back then? some conflicts=?

Yeah....kinda like this pdf: www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Rockefeller%20Foundation.pdf (only better)

@@tonypasma1707 The sound quality was bad.

Sadly, Tesla lost the suit against Top Gear.

Kind of like cnn now........

Top Gear was absolute crap and shouldve stopped years before it did

I was a fan of the show but i never liked Jeremy's derision of certain brands and technology. He was too to opinionated on somethings. 1. He hatred of anything diesel. 2. His ambivalence to all things Porsche 3. His hatred of 100% electric cars. He pulled that same crap with the Nissan LEAF - purposely running out of power in the middle of a town square while on a "road trip." Made a point to say, "with included charging back, we should be ready to go in 24 hours." It was all a set-up to make electric cars look wholly inferior to "petrol" cars. Nissan never claimed, and still don't claim, it is a traveling car. It's a commuter and errand car. But when Jeremy liked something, he couldn't contain his excitement and it made for great television. It's a great example how bias journalism is done from the vantage and opinion of the journalist. If Jeremy was single handedly trying to squash the electric car, he failed. At least Jay recognizes the era of combustion engine passenger cars is coming to an end. He embraces the technology.

Tesla fans will try to lynch TG for that, and I agree with them. I think they were staging it that the car run out of battery, not breaking down. There’s no conspiracy, TG was trying to be entertaining and didn’t like electric cars back then. Tesla found out because they actually tracked the car.

Well he is a public speaker. Yelling jokes over hecklers

Or mechanics of 50 years or so, lol

Top Gear recognized the fraud for what it was. Look up lithium processing and then try to pretend that it is environmentally friendly. Look up the actual range figures from actual first gen Tesla roadster owners. It was a great marketing gimmick, but not something worth paying for unless the buyer was trying to score some virtue signaling points.

Well yeah, and electric cars are still not there yet.

Dude it caught on fire when they tested it. What else were they supposed to do?

@@gossipking8016 Hey everybody Remember When Top Gear got busted for lying about the Tesla breaking down when someone found a script they were ordered to read from who paid those guys to lie about that

that's their gig, Top Gear is about acting out the old car guy's mindset. it's changed a lot after they started Grand Tour and Drive Tribe.

HA HA!
