@@DouglasJMark You're welcome.

I thought this is just a chemical reaction, but nanoparticles interactions are much much larger than chemical reactions, which happens at atomic scale. Using nanoparticles can make electro plating a lot more uniform than just chemical electroplating.
That makes no sense and would never happen. If they were breaking in they would know of it and that would be the reason. Also the name of the company/warehouse literally has gold plating in the name...
Well usually the first thing you do after driving in a cyberstuck is to send it off to the service center..... Because its probably gonna red screen on you right off the bat.
I dont think so.... if you have the money to do both plus you have a almost 9M followers youtube channel you should indeed do it. Why? Well the video is gonna make you a lot of money, plus when youre gonna sell the 24k golden cybertruck its gonna be something rare and much more with more value then you expend doing it.

I was interested in the ridge wallet so my money wont get stolen until I saw it was $155 and realized its ridge that stealing my money. holy crap, and $65 to $125 for a keychain? that's just bonkers
FR. And as far as compact wallets go it's not even that great. I have a secrid wallet that was given to me for Christmas, and while it's still insanely expensive and I wouldn't recommend sending so much money on a wallet, it at least gives me much easier access to my cards and in my opinion is way more convenient. My brother actually stopped using his ridge wallet because it was so difficult and damaged some of his cards when pulling them out.
Interestingly, in spanish there is a similar one that goes "Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda" basically, a monkey with expensive clothing is still a monkey
Except most them are already covered by other sales as well. Ridge wallet doesn't only sells gold wallets. This gold cyber truck will increase sales, not cover other expenses only. This is more of a marketing expense

I'm a bit surprised they don't have the entire truck inside of a bin or on top of a thick plastic sheet or something to recover all the liquids possible because any of that solution that doesn't plate under the truck but flows off of the truck is still very high concentration gold that can be recovered.
Looks like they are catching the runoff in bins, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have some mechanism to collect anything that misses those. Reminds me of the gold smithing places that dust the shop every so often and get an extra couple grand back lol.
There were two gold plated Deloreans sold in the original offering from American Express for $80K each and a third assembled later from the spare panels that were made for the first two. Bear in mind, a new Delorean in regular 304 stainless steel finish sold for $25K back in 1981.
Funny to see how this evolved. Originally you just wanted to put a gold cyber beast logo on someone's Cybertruck. But you decided to full send it with an entire gold plated Cybertruck.
Especially with the paint protection film, you could have gotten as good or better a final result with a "gold" wrap for far less and far less worry about damaging it. This is one of those things done purely to say you did it/have it with no practical or even aesthetic purpose.
@@Lord_zeel tbh, I dont think they did it right... First off, the plating looked too thin... Secondly, why did they polish it at all to even it out and get a more mirror finish? I know you can polish gold plate, so I have no clue what they were doing...

That would be sick
But will Tony power the truck or will the truck power Tony?
@@frankiem749arc reactor powered Cybertruck would go crazy
Jerry just dropped the hardest Gold Plated Cyber Truck edit and thought we wouldn't notice 🔥
Jerry talks like a voice over artist. Conversations at home must be very interesting 😂
"That's gold Jerry, GOLD!" - Kenny Bania
The transition from ornamental truck to just ornament is complete.
JerryRigEverything has turned into JerryRidgeEverything
Cool idea, medium result. Apart from the uneven finish I think it's a little cheap for such a bold project to not plate under the fenders: 10:49
Ficou incrível, que Deus continue abençoando o trabalho de vcs!!! Parabéns pelo trabalho das cadeiras de rodas também, Deus é muito maravilhoso!!!
My 7 year old would flip if he saw this in the wild.
So funny how one guy bit the box to test if it was real gold. It made me actually laugh
Made my order for the 24k JerryRigKnife can’t wait till it get here 😎😎🔥
the funniest part is, the good plating makes (treated parts of) the surface totally immune to Rust.
He ask
we say "hell no"
he still do .
Whyyy
Because he wasn’t actually asking. The video was already made, the poll was just to drive hype. I’m surprised you didn’t already know this.
0:14 they all did
@@YUGOTno upvotes on any of them.
He could do the same about hate comments. He probably get enough to fill the screen on any video based on how much view&comment he gets
@@YUGOT He got ratioed on his last community post
Because he already did.
Amazing. Love the science behind all of it. Looks so good, especially the way it didn't stick to the 'Foundation Series' etching.
I want on road public reaction to it 😂
Bro has a camo 💀
Remember old gangster's cars, the same here
even though I think the cybertruck is a hideous hunk of crap and gold is my least favorite color in the world, I found this video very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you!
This is amazing 🙌 I have been owner of 24k gold plated ridge wallet for a while now and I am so happy for the best ridge wallet
Ridge Wallet dropping this kind of money for something so frivolous, they must be selling a billion wallets per week. "Sorry guys, no raises this year, we just don't have the budget, but thanks for your hard work! Pizza in the breakroom!"
Are you a grown man?
$60k is pocket change for PR and Marketing budget. Add $10k labour costs. That's basically 700 wallets in price... Well, 1000 wallets if we include various additional costs.
@@Vladimir_Kv Their wallet costs 60 dollars??? it's just a slab of metal that costs like 10 cents!
@@lordzuzu6437 Depends on which wallet you get. Anywhere between $60 and $250
@@lordzuzu6437now you know why they would drop that kind of money on marketing.
When you got a lot of money and don't know what to do with it.
Money makes money, they know what they’re doing with it.
No chance someone would actually want one of these let alone steal one.

@@Sammie_Smith23 Stealing it would be ludicrously stupid, something that big and that unique would be impossible to unload.
This video gives me "Bill Nye the Science Guy" vibes! Love it and awesome work 👏🏾
Thanks for showing the process very cool. I also liked seeing the paint protection film and how that goes on.
Jarvis, do me a favor and throw a little hotrod red in there
I got a ridge Wallet clone from China for less than five bucks. It looks exactly as the original, without the logo.
I got red forged carbon. Once again, for less than five bucks. Great quality, would buy again and save maybe 95 percent money.
This is the first time ive seen a gold plated dumpster
Hearting this comment while having 3 cybertrucks in your garage is insane Jerry
@@blend3rman796 Someone can own a car and still appreciate someone's joke and that the Cybertruck looks like a dumpster.
@@quackman well aware of that, the situation just seemed hilarious
you surely never been in gangsta's neighborhoods during 00's, mate
Cool experiment I guess, but talk about gaudy and tacky. The smart thing to do if you win this is auction/sell it off and actually buy a luxury vehicle that doesn't look and feel like this lol
You're so smart
I was watching this with high anxiety, thinking he better use a ppf if he was spending this. Sweet relief at the 10 minute mark
Hey Jerry, how many gold plated JerryRig knives will there be?
You should have used the Cybertruck battery system to do the plating. That would have been so cool.
You passed me on the freeway this morning in this. I've only seen a few cybertrucks in person locally here in Utah but so it was cool to see this one in the flesh.
Gold plated cyber truck. More reason for a thief to steal one. 😂
One and only reason xD
It's all fun and games until the thief can't offload it because no one wants them lol
@@schimanoman2817you clearly only saw them on a video
@@CrypidLorethey are selling and you are in denial kido
derty wants people to buy his rust bucket so bad 😂
I learned a lot today and I appreciate you for the thorough explanation of the entire process!
To say this is Awesome would be an understatement. You've got to love the science behind it too
