Regarding the Mustang owners not being able to get their kid out when the door locks and latches failed, how is it legal there not be a mechanical override for such a critical function in case the electronics fail? I’ll accept the tiny amount of drag that result from door handles that are accessible 100% of the time (don’t need motors to push them out) and at least one lock cylinder for a physical key. It allowed us to easily get in and open the hood when my daughter’s Kia drained its 12V accessory battery.
Agreed, I may be a grouchy old geezer who doesn't like most of the new fangled electronics foisted on modern vehicles, but there's something terrifying about not being able to get into or out of your car.
I thought Nikki said that there is a handle or lever (under the front bumper?) but the owners didn't know it was there. Shows the importance of reading the manual...
In the front bumper, there's a small trim piece that pops out, revealing a set of jumper cables - you can use those to energize the car and gain access - but it's something even some dealerships are unaware of :(
Agreed. There’s no reason to use an electronic actuator. We have been using mechanical handles for over a century and they work just fine. I can only guess they saved a couple cents per vehicle making the switch at the cost of something like what was mentioned in the video happening.
Why would any politician want to charge EV drivers more taxes than petrol/diesel? Shouldn't they be sent on a rehabilitation course. Clearly they are getting paid from that industry.
Here in the US of A are fuel is heavily taxed to maintain the roads, thus their excuse is that they are not getting the tax necessary to upkeep our transportation needs such as roads and gutters
@@paulgroth3345here in Australia road taxes have been high and increasing for years. The money is clearly not being spent on filling in holes in the road. Instead citizens have taken to painting the edges of the holes with high visibility paint then sending photos to the responsible jurisdiction and posting the results on social media. When the government raises even more taxes from road users this comes up as evidence the money isn’t going back in to the roads. Our virtue signalling overlords have recently suggested the increased road taxes are to punish people for damaging the environment even though it’s not a distance based tax
@@paulgroth3345 The tax on road fuel varies by state but the total federal plus state tax is less than $1 per gallon. The average in the EU is $2.24 per gallon. So not so heavily taxed after all.
23:13 I got an EV living in a regional town in Oz. Mostly charge at home during the day but it has reduced the tyranny of distance. I've doubled the distance I drive and I could still drive more and not even need to charge at night.
360° cameras on chargers, might as well put lights & solar on them too, basic. A key is easier to carry than a jump starter pack or widow breaker. Rural areas are wired, gas has to be trucked in.
Leopards are constantly nibbling at Elon's face. He wanted to get rid of subsidies, and then immediately turned around and complained about Tesla not getting a subsidy for a big rig corridor. You can't make this stuff up.
There is a quick fix security solution to stop crimbos taking an angle grinder to EV chargers, although admittedly their melted remains may be difficult to remove from the cables.
The details of loopholes etc for allowing Chinese/Russian made EVs into the US would be important for your viewers and I myself am interested in this knowledge.

Like it or not, petrol cars have set the baseline for what mainstream buyers would be wiling to accept. Mainstream buyers will buy an EV when it cost just as much as a petrol car; travel as far as a petrol car; and charge as fast as refueling a petrol car. They don’t care about the details as long as there are NO LIMITATIONS of driving an EV in terms of how we use them compared to a petrol car. Early buyers were very enamored with the latest technologies. There is a chasm to overcome to become mainstream. Engineering solutions will be key.
Mainstream? Most use a petrol car to go less than 100 miles a day well within the range of all modern electric cars . Most can charge at home so time to charge is not an issue Get home plug in full tank next day for a few seconds work less time than driving to a gas station and standing there fueling up . EVs are getting cheaper soon they will cost less than a petrol to buy not only to run. Why do they always make up edge cases?
@@martinsmallwood9605 Not everyone can charge at home. You obviously are not a poor person nor do you speak for the mainstream. EVs will be mainstream when you don’t have to worry about if the car is petrol or an EV. EVs should be transparent in use and operations compared to petrol.
