      I agree about Jay, perfect person to be looking at something like this and taking us all along for a peek at what's coming.
      I also agree that a subscription model is a non-starter for most people. I know it is for me. Many people want to customize _their_ vehicle, make it unique from the millions of others. You can't do that with what is essentially a lease vehicle. They can call is whatever they want but it's a lease. Everyone should think back to the EV1 that GM brought out decades ago, and if you don't know the story there is a good video right here on YT that will get you up to speed quick. When you see what GM did to all those who were in the same position as Canoo proposes to put consumers, you'll have second thoughts about 'buying' a Canoo too.
      Shame because I would really like to own one. But rent, no way is that happening for me.

    • @davefoc

      My question from the start was what was the purpose of this thing. Uber/Lyft seems a likely possibility but I didn't get how all the talk about subscription related that . I don't think this kind of thing is handled well with an interview format. There were too many unknowns. It needed to start with an overview or maybe an overview where the interviewer interjects questions.

    • @davefoc
      @davefoc 4 года назад +11

      @@donaldcombs7270 I agree, but I still wonder about the business model. I'm always troubled by a company that feels a need to develop two things to get started. In this case a new electric car and a new way to charge for their use. If subscription is a good idea go buy some cars from an existing manufacturer and then put them out for subscription. If a big van electric car is a good idea build that and wholesale it to companies that will resell it/rent it out/put it up for subscription. The subscription model doesn't seem to be enough of an idea to justify a new car design. Gig ride share already exists, car rentals already exist, and car leases already exist. If for some reason subscription is a good idea the the companies doing those other things will just copy your idea but do it with cars from other manufacturers.

    Just finished viewing this video. Have not read a single comment. The first thing I wondered about was Commercial Applications, especially for city businesses. Subscription model is tailor made for fleet operations. This being a skateboard design I can imagine many different utilization's. Stake, Box, and Tool platforms come to mind. Not heavy duty, but very necessary light delivery and maintance services. And, not that it's ready @ 250 radius, but of course, THE TIKI. (Tiki was my 1968 VW Westfalia.)
    Very enjoyable, and I'm sure gratifyingly so for CANOO, to be revised by such an informed autophile as Jay Leno.
    Motor with the cups that did a pinch of salt over your right shoulder move with oil, and the two canoe Stanley that set a speed record.

      They all tend to live in predictable cities, all think alike and not truly think about what others who think differently want.

    As I was tracing this I noticed Canoo is based right there on Mariner Ave. incredible, I didn’t know there is a new car company in Torrance.
    Btw, Torrance is host to Honda of America, and used to be the home base of Toyota America (they bailed out to Texas in 2017). Nissan America was based in the city of Carson, 5 min away eastward. Don’t know where they moved.

      Zuckerberg, Then bezos I agree. However Elon musk is more conversational than you might think. You have to keep in mind that he's not really a fantastic speaker He definitely has some issues with that. But I've seen some personal interviews that he's done with people and he seems like a pretty nice guy. He's also brilliant, you don't often get the mix of engineer and business person to such an efficient degree. You often will find a brilliant engineer who is a terrible businessman and ends up not being able to sell the product he comes up with. And vice versa. Musk seems to have a nice balance of those two attributes. And it shows in his success. And no I'm not a Tesla fanboy There are plenty of issues there that I dislike. But the guy definitely thinks outside the box but keeps it close enough to the box that he knows it'll sell or work

      It's a completely uninteresting looking car, the target audience for this isn't gearheads, it's for people who view cars as a household appliance. It achieves that goal very well. Even the person presenting it here isn't particulary interested in it, they just view it as a service they need.
      The subscription structure is also going to appeal to the eco-minded people. "Oh, I don't own a car" but they still get to have most of the advantages of owning a car.
      It may not be this particular car but the concept for a subscription-based, boring A-to-B ride share has a very good chance of becoming a success, especially in larger cities.

      Why assume that Jay requires quid pro quo to introduce the new concept company? Can it not be that Jay is just a nice guy, or maybe the concept of being nice is as novel for you as the car is. And keep in mind that it does generate an episode of content for him.

      At least they're trying. Not sure it's a great business model (I like it but I'm curious how the states will license it and other niggling details) - but it's nice to see people doing, not just consuming. It's easy to nitpick (and sometimes deserved) people's efforts - but I'll always support people doing things. Even nutty things.

      You've been misinformed. EVs don't help the environment at all. You probably think solar panels do the same. Most solar panels are made in China by burning coal. Evs are built conventionally with parts made using resources that pollute. You've been sold a bunch of lies. There is no man-made global warming and EV's aren't the answer. If everyone drove EVs most cities don't have a grid that could handle it. As it is they have rolling brown outs when everyone uses the AC during heat waves. Then wait until electricity is 90% taxed like gasoline and the price goes through the roof. Promulgating the idea of saving the planet with EVs is spreading misinformation which doesn't serve citizens but rather serves left wing governments trying to control their citizens. Hau'Oli Maoli Oe!
