Yes! I agree! We will survive the Bust. sell Local.
We need both technology. Gas / diesel engines that are improved with smaller electric motors . They can operate independently together .
Sleep well Scotty Kilmer. You save my life every freakin' day, giving me hope in this mad mad mad mad world.😎
People make the error of thinking Tesla is a car company. Yes at one level of course it is, it makes cars. However what is its’ true purpose behind the facade of making cars? It’s an AI company and that what it’s long term future is predicated on.
*Best selling car in 2023 Model-Y Tesla, no advertising, and you say nobody wants a TESLA?.....*
I worked for an auto parts manufacturer who said they were just building a new plant in Mexico for the extra business. "The US plant will not close," they said. As an engineer, I visited the plant in Mexico and saw how big it was and knew it would all go. Within a year it all went to Mexico. This company was Takata. Takata is now known for killing people due to defective airbags. They have 67 million airbags recalled.
Things to love about EVs:
1. Child battery labor
2. Range anxiety
3. Risk of garage fires
4. Paying 20k more than a comparable vehicle
5. Battery degredation
6. Poor resale value
7. Reduced performance in cold, highway
8. Higher repair costs
9. Awful charging network experiences in the weather without restrooms
10. Higher insurance rates
11. Replacing tires more frequently
But hey theres a tax credit!
Electeic vehicles have many advantages too. Except they suck right now and will probably suck for a long time.
What car -which is $20K less -is comparable to a Tesla model 3 performance?
The car for people with my more money than brains!
I'm excited for low resale value, charge at home ability, portable power source, starts in extreme cold, no fluid leaks, less moving parts, better acceleration. Not saying everything is better but these are the things I'm excited about a used electric car
12. Health risks/ exposure to EMF
Toyota is in debt about 240 billion and is the most in debt company in the world. They are in debt because of how they run their R&D department. They make great cars for that reason. It’s not a black mark on Toyota but an eye opener on how dedicated they are to their craft. To this day they have a A+ credit rating. Viva la Toyota 🙌
What is the source of your numbers?
It’s no secret Toyota has more debt than most small countries. I’m not going to source 100+ publications. It’s a publicly traded company it’s no secret. The A+ credit rating comes from S&P 500, Fitch, and moody’s.
Share holders get them in debt 😮😮😮
@@James-cs2wiToyota is ranked 2 out of 64 when it comes to share price, only beaten by Tesla due to the insane amount of artificially inflated speculation that's predicated on their ability to secure strong government contracts. If the government stayed out of the way and let capitalism do its thing, Toyota would be ranked number 1.
I have such a hard time figuring this out
"If you have a crappy product, the only way you are going to sell them is with advertising!" - Scotty
Correct. ☑️
Toyota needs to bring back the V6s and V8s
I agree 💯
Meanwhile, the Ridgeline has that beautiful VTech V6 engine that sounds gorgeous.
That's a hell yeah
With an antiquated timing belt.....
And the 1.8 Corolla!
In Texas I had pre tinted windows to keep cooler. Not to hide.
Don’t Buy General Mistake (GM)
And buy what. Ford? Ram? Lmfao yeah right. I’ll stick with gm heavy duty over that other garbage
GM is the pure definition of garbage like Stellantis now a days.@@Bootchair
@@Bootchair I’m done with GM I will never buy again. I was not always that way. I have a 74 SD 455 T/A as a driver car never costs me repairs I have a 95 Sable and a 96 5speed Jeep Cherokee both vehicles have never cost me $$$$ I rotate driving them. Now to be honest with you all makes are pretty much junk. Toyota V8 is not a problem child truck 8 years old my neighbor swears by it. That’s great for him nobody wants to carry insurance just to cover the drive train. I will never buy GM Ford or Mopar No Quality and the price they are wanting I Laugh. I will keep what I have and continue doing the maintenance myself after all I have more years behind me than what’s ahead. Every day products are poorly made now no matter where they are made that is what is sad now.
I’d own a used gm before a used ford or Chrysler
It would be better if American car companies stop being woke, move factories back to America, and focus on quality / reliability
As a kid I remember playing with electric RC cars. The batteries always drifted… 😊
funny, when I was a kid... the RC cars had little gas engines in them... that didn't run 80% of the time. When they DID run... they smoked, were loud, and dripped oily fuel everywhere. Perspective, huh?
Back then, when the gas RC cars started, they were faster than the electric RC cars. These days, the brushless motor RC cars will out run the gas 1's. 😮
I remember after a few charges the batteries needed to be replaced in the car.
What can I say...this man,Scotty Kilmer, is absolutely right...and you KNOW he is.
Nah he’s delusional. Tesla’s sales figures are growing every quarter. They have zero problems selling cars
😂 He wants China to own the entire automotive market. Guys like this want to see great American companies like Tesla fail. I have no respect for clowns like this
@@Romanus- Even in their slow quarter, they grew. They grew slower, but they still sold more cars this year than last year.
@@Romanus-you should tell tesla that, they are cutting their prices to drive sales.
We learned Our Lesson with K Cars back in the 1980's
k??
Try 1800’s. Europe had first electric cars.
@@garyblizzard5266Chrysler K cars I assume. Crappy car
I loved my K car. It was so simple it was stupid. Same with my Chevette.
k Cars are awesome. If you can fit ur belly in.
That cyber truck they recently released is terrible. A literal rust bucket.
I just saw some dude in white Oakley sunglasses driving one like he was the coolest thing in the county....first time I ever seen one in person...they looked like a industrial a/c unit on wheels
Just ask Tyler Hoover (Hoovie’s Garage), he found surface rust on his the day it was delivered.
I've seen a couple on the street. They're hideous.
Honestly, I'm not sure it isn't any worse than any other EV pickup. I won't argue that it has a lot of flaws, though.
If Tesla can refine the design and turn it into a decent EV pickup more power to them! Until they do, though, I don't see any point in presenting it as something it isn't.
Do you have one ? Or are you going off an article you saw a week ago 💀
Scotty, you are an American hero. All the best...
@ 5:34 I had the " Unfortuenet Experience " of working at an Oil Refinery once. And I suspect that " Every Once in Awhile "
they have an " Explosion " at one of their Refineries !
And Then The Gasoline Prices go up ! Not just in That One Company " who's Turn it was " to have an Explosion, " But in All
the Companies that Sell Gas !
Gas is much cheaper on 1st nation reservations In Quebec, Ontario, same tanker that deliver's to the big chains too.
$80 for a quickie $120 for a whole half an hour.... But the memories last forever.... And sometimes comes back to testify.... !!! 😮
I believe Elon sees the writing on the wall. The EV industry is going into the Toilet.
Tesla shares prices jumped 18% yesterday leading a market rally and gaining 14 billion dollars in a day in equity value…can you read sir?
@@AdamWeatherall Time will tell...
All so true. America is the world's #1 source and producer for oil and natural gas. We have the world's largest oil source in Texas and West Virginia has the world's largest source of natural gas. Just completed a pipe line to supply the east coast.
High prices have nothing to do with supply.
Also one of the largest oil reserve near Bakersfield CA
corn pop joe shut it all down
They price them at global prices.
You don't really know what's produced overseas
look up the Colonial pipeline.
When the gulf war kicked off the price of a barrel of oil went from $13 to $40 over night (there were reports that said they wanted to sell a barrel for $100, now $200, these reports are from them)...
..."Who lives in a desert?" Phoenix, the 5th largest US city is located, i believe, in the Sonoran Desert Scotty. Oh! I swear here in northwest Arkansas i saw a guy (I think) who tinted the ENTIRE front windshield of his truck. Huh?
Just got back from a trip to the Bentonville area. NWA is beautiful.
Full tints are pretty common in Kentucky. Me personally, I would be a nervous wreck to drive after dark with a full tint. It seems that the industry should be able to use Low E and argon technologies to keep the heat mitigated in vehicles. The replacement home window industry have utilized this technology for years. Maybe they've already tried it, I'm not sure. I'll have to look into it... 10:01
In Costa Rica, the government sets the price of fuel each month. It doesn't matter what area of the country you are in, it is all the same price! They are all full service, also. For a few months last year, the price of Premium was lower than Regular, because they produced too much Premium fuel!
5:40/8:21 I think Im just subconsciously here just for the laugh. Its great info but Im pretty much just here for the laugh. If that could be clipped up or added to a ring tone Id probably pay for that
Love the laughing animals! 😹
My local So. Cal gas station prices have been decreasing the last2-weeks.
Very very very temporary
Yes. Mine too
It's up and down 10 cents or so
Don’t buy an EV unless you can afford to pay $20,000 to replace the battery in ten years.
Five or less since a lot of EVs are not even THAT reliable, quality-wise. Tesla have breaks in their paneling, and are made for cheap.
$20.000 is a low figure, Hyundai want around $50.000 right now which totals out the car even if its close to new, will batteries get cheaper, I truly doubt it, nothing gets cheaper in the world of power.
This is why I call them disposable cars, not much different to your cellphone, because the battery technology is the same. Also the technology changes so fast it would never be worth replacing the batteries. Unlike a classic Historic vehicle which can last indefinitely if properly maintained and repaired, The EV is destined for the rubbish tip. Because no car panel repair businesses or mechanics want to touch them, because they are not IT experts or high voltage dc/ac electrical engineers.
Batteries go 300 to 500K with 10% battery degradation 🫠ice
5 years.
They use to sell that film at the hardware store by my house back in the 90’s. To show it they had 2 small fish boles under a 200 watt flood light one of them had this clear film a couple inches above the water that one the water was 60 or 70 degrees room temperature the other was very hot almost boiling
I would say maybe Elon should stick to being CEO of one company, but at this point I would say he shouldn’t be CEO of any company
What? Because?
He’s successfully making EV’s mainstream, making rockets reusable, providing high speed internet worldwide, and advocating for world wide free speech. Dude seems pretty capable to me.
@@LivingInAnInverseRealityBecause Elon said there were only two genders. That seems to be the gripe of all these folks

Which ='s shite.! I love my country but the wealth equality gap is nothing to be proud of. Reagan's trickle down economics constituted the greatest transition of wealth in human history. The rich became disgustingly rich and the middle class is now closing in on being a thing of the past. If drumpf is allowed to hold office again, it will usher in the 2 class society. Rich or poor. Project 2025 is the blueprint for how they will do it. No hyperbole here, go see for yourself. My bad, kind'a went off on a tangent there...Good day.
0:49 “I’ll tell you right now I’m not a big fan of advertising.” -In front of BP, Mopar, champion vintage signs celebrating advertising is kinda funny.

6:29 Sweet! In the Alabama summer months my Tesla Model Y gets up to over 140 degrees in the cabin even when the external temperature is under 100. I blame that mostly on the glass roof. I hope that new IR shielding film comes out soon, as I'd love to try it out!

Thanks for sharing
My tesla problem is , interior . Tesla car other than Model S and X , the interior sucks. No dash board ? come on.
My dad drove a 1960's mini which had its dash in the centre of the car like the Tesla. Crap design then, crap design now. Smartest man on earth my rear end.
Tesla interiors are actually very clean and minimalistic. Not everybody likes a bunch of buttons and gauges that will ultimately go unused anyway.
Tesla's have a dashboard. What the heck you talking about.
@@akennedystocksI think he refers to tactile buttons and dials, like for adjusting window defogging. Why do I have to wade through 2 menus to adjust airflow? I prefer to do it without taking my eyes off the road
@@williamvanholz1666 You don't have to "wade" through two menu!
You press the temperature settings and move the air vents position with your fingers like a normal vent, WITH YOUR FINGERS....
It is like this because it automatically remembers the position of the vent. The last place you positioned it. For each person!
Alternatively, You can push the right button on the steering wheel and ask the car to blow air at you or away from you.

It’s very true about optima batteries. I bought them when they 1st came out then noticed quality went down few years later. I had walmart batteries last longer
If you think $3.35 are almost 4 dollars a gallon US come on up here to Canada or our gas is a little over six dollars a gallon for regular.
Don’t vote for Trudeau and the liberals.

8:22 you so right. Pouch cells are historically prone to big problems, especially in vehicles. Generally speaking, the blade and cylindrical form factors are much safer to use.
*Thank you scotty for sharing your knowledge with us. I need your knowledge & honest opinion on what car is more reliable, a 2003 Honda crv or a 2019 Chevrolet silverado❓* 🤔
2003 Honda CRV 100%. The V-Tech 2.4 motor is one of the best in the world. This 2nd generation Honda is actually better than the 3rd. Super reliable, durable and can get 500 K miles if you take care of it.
I love my Tesla Model S it is a 2013, it has 179,000 miles on the original battery. Best car I’ve ever owned and I drive it 100 miles a day for work.
1:55 Musk is rich not smart. When they released that weird cyber truck I warned about the cheap stainless they made the body from. Not only do I remember the Delorean but I have been a sheet metal guy for thirty years. When Leno had the german engineer team leads on to showcase the company I commented on the stainless body and only two people liked my comment. Now RUclips vlogers are posting "shocking" rust and corrosion as if nobody could have known. Americans confuse many things as intelligence. Being rich, educated, government, corporate or religous usually prove to be measures of criminality not itelligence.
You nailed it. Musk also likes to steal the ideas of others and not give them the credit. He thinks his money can buy him intelligence, he’s a POS.
Here, here.! Exceedingly true words friend. Sadly, a very large swathe of the American public fall prey to the school of thought of " they must be brilliantly intelligent, they've got a lot of money and possessions."
This school of thought has delivered our country to a place of mediocrity. Cruelty and vanity have replaced kindness and humility. I hope and pray we find our way out of this dark forest soon.!
BYD is producing $10,000 cars, even after import taxes they are going to be really affordable. Elon laughed at them a few years ago during an interview, now they represent a real competitor! In terms of reliability, your ability to charge where you live, true range: that remains to be seen!
So this is about rooting for a Chinese car company and hoping that a permiere American auto manufacterer goes bankrupt?

There are a LOT of people out there who don’t know the first thing about cars and they are proud of their ignorance. “i ain’t no mechanic! Why do I gotta know anything?” That’s the target demographic for teslas, and that’s why it works. Most people are inherently lazy and will always prefer the easiest route, even if that route is objectively worse or much more costly. Doesn’t take an expert to figure this out
@@YaroLordI believe the target demographic for Tesla’s have been educated middle-upper class professionals. Just type ‘Tesla demographics’ in your Google machine.

Scotty, Volvo has this IR film from like 2005 and it's a very effective
So this film you put on will it keep your automo🎉 cooler in the winter and make you run your heater more and if it’s a Ev then you will use more electricity and drain your battery pack quicker
It’s funny because I just watched one of your videos like a week ago where you had bought a Tesla and you was loving it

Stop EV tax credits..give them only to gas and hybrid cars $2000 per car.
3:16 Speaking of batteries.....the best car batteries that ever existed were Varta. They would last 11 years no problem. I use Deka....good for 7-8 years, although they dropped the quality somewhat because they are more expensive, but still probably the best. BTW....Varta and Deka are German made.

Self driving cars are pretty useful for long drives, btw. I drive from Windsor to Montréal every month which is around 1000km. It really helps me a lot to drive without taking any break. Way more safer and I don't get much tired from the 9 hours drive. But on local roads it's totally useless.

The SPAZ is back. What a waste of air time
The Jeep Wrangler is an iconic American vehicle with a rich history and a loyal fan base. Given its long-standing presence in the market, one might expect that the Wrangler would have reached an exceptional level of quality and refinement by now, especially if the principles of kaizen, or continuous improvement, had been consistently applied. However, critics argue that the Wrangler has failed to live up to its potential, remaining an expensive yet low-quality vehicle.
Rather than embracing the kaizen philosophy of gradual, incremental improvements, the Jeep Wrangler's development seems to have been marked by a series of stops and starts, with significant changes and redesigns occurring sporadically. This approach has resulted in a vehicle that, despite its popularity, still suffers from various issues related to build quality, reliability, and comfort.
Some of the common complaints about the Jeep Wrangler include:
1. Poor on-road handling: The Wrangler's solid front axle and tall suspension, designed for off-road capabilities, make it less comfortable and stable on paved roads compared to other SUVs in its class.
2. Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH): The Wrangler's interior is often criticized for being loud and prone to vibrations, making for a less refined driving experience.
3. Fuel efficiency: The Wrangler has historically had poor fuel economy, which is a significant drawback for many potential buyers.
4. Build quality: Critics have pointed out that the Wrangler's build quality lags behind its competitors, with issues such as panel gaps, interior materials, and overall fit and finish.
5. Reliability: The Wrangler has been plagued by various reliability issues over the years, which can lead to costly repairs and a lower resale value.
In contrast to the Wrangler's development, had Jeep embraced the kaizen approach, they might have focused on addressing these issues systematically over time, making small but consistent improvements with each new model year. This could have resulted in a more refined, higher-quality vehicle that retains its off-road capabilities while also offering a better on-road experience.
However, it seems that the Jeep Wrangler's development has not followed this path, and as a result, it remains an expensive yet low-quality vehicle compared to many of its competitors. Despite its loyal fan base and iconic status, the Wrangler's shortcomings serve as a reminder that consistent improvement and refinement are crucial for creating a truly exceptional product.

Love me
I guess it wouldn’t make real sense to do this. But some Teslas are pretty clean looking. Hybrid Teslas would sell I think. But then just buy Toyota. I don’t know. Whatever ✌🏼
CT looks great though
Scotty please please do one on the effects of rideshare explosion years ago and how it’s resulting in massive inventory in poor quality used cars. You got highway miles, then you have city miles but Uber miles is unnaturally destructive
Tiny Kei sized EV's for inner city use, good. The industry following knee jerk, uneducated government policy, doom.
Scotty aggressively guarding his gig. I think he has called every car a piece of junk one time or another!
Hilarious ones are the best ones! 🙌🏻🇺🇸
Scotty Kilmer, Americas “Automotive Truth Social” moderator, reporting it like it is. Minus some minor details, like actual facts. But hey, why let facts get in the way of some easy RUclips income, right?
It's got nothing to do with the company being European. A US company would do the same thing. All they care about is profit and the shareholders.
That's how much corporations love their employees.
Maybe you all have not seen the latest Consumer Reports article that confirms that Tesla's are so well built they have the LOWEST MAINTENANCE out of any other brand. So you all can start crying that you know nothing about the automotive industry and even less about electric cars:
Rank Brand Total Maintenance Cost Over 10 Years
1 Tesla $4,035
2 Buick $4,900
3 Toyota $4,900
4 Lincoln $5,040
5 Ford $5,400
6 Chevrolet $5,550
7 Hyundai $5,640
8 Nissan $5,700
9 Mazda $5,800
10 Honda $5,850
That's why you don't see to many Honda commercials...
I hear more and more of them on the radio. About the same time their quality started going down.
If musk cared he'd fire himself.
Fuel is averaging 1.70 to 2.10 a litre in Australia so US have it cheap!
Absolutely hate that Optima batteries went that route.
