      does Scotty read his comments? Qigong master Yan Xin was in a car that stopped working - wouldn't start. He transferred power from the overhead power line - only it was too much. The car got hot and smoking. He then reversed the direction of energy - and the car started. He trained starting at 4 years old with hermits and then at age 9 with Master Haiden who taught at Shaolin - he did a one finger "hand" stand for an hour at at time - and he never slept for 60 years. hahaha. Free energy indeed.

      Exactly. Chevy worked on improving the appearance and comfort of the Bolt EV until it was a very reliable, reasonably fun and affordable product,… then they got rid of the Bolt as soon as it had characteristics snd price which might appeal to an average person. There really isn’t any reason that Chevy couldn’t keep using the LG Chem BEV2 platform of the Bolt. BEV2 is old technology, if you call eight years old, but it is now reliable and affordable. I am not going anywhere near an Ultium based Chevy for at least a few years, especially if it doesn’t have CarPlay or Android Auto.

Best pickup I ever had. I have it in storage now with about 99,000 miles on it. With the crap they are building today I should put money in it and restore it and drive it today. No engine problems and no transmission problems. What in the world has happened to GM products today?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I built a new house in 2015 and the crap I've had to have fixes, replaced, etc., including the dang light switches of all things, blows my mind! I'm on my 3rd $900 electric range and 2nd expensive washer and dryer. It cost $1,000 to replace the HVAC coils which burned out the month the 2 year warranty expired, and I'm told the price has almost doubled! And they wonder why nobody can save money these days!

This electrical energy can even affect people. I would sometime work under high tension lines and actually feel my hairs stand on end.

    The people who work on the power lines tell me that there are two things they have to worry about and those are arcing distance and working distance and the way to tell how high voltage the lines are is to look how far they are spaced apart. Obviously the higher the voltage the farther the lines are apart.

      500,000 volts AC. On most of the lines on the towers, the conductors were two wire bundled, and the aluminum wires were about 2" in diameter. So, two wires per phase, and three phases for each circuit. I think I remember there were 61 strands in each wire, and all aluminum.

    Personally, if you live around one of those towers and it's on your land, energy lost by the tower is energy lost. If something is nearby and can run off the lost energy it can't be called "stealing" when the tower will lose that energy anyway. Just my opinion. It's better the energy be recovered and utilized than be allowed to radiate further and potentially harm the health of those nearby.

    Hi Scotty... I'm a long time fan who frequently takes and shares your advice : I even bought a manual 2013 Chevy Spark last year based on your recommendation without regrets, so thanks!.. The thing is, we also own a Mexican-built 2013 FIAT 500e , one of less than a half a dozen sold here in Pennsylvania in 2017 as their leases expired out on the west coast. We paid $7999 for a car that had been sold three years before for $32K; it had less than 7K miles on it, looked and smelled brand new, included a Bose stereo, sunroof, and "leather" seats, etc, and is mistaken all the time for an Abarth...
    Since April 2017 my wife has driven it to work five days a week on a 40 mile commute without problems, even during our worst winter weather. The only repairs we've had in the
    seven years we've owned the car has been the replacement of both automatic window motors, costing $600 altogether, and then another $250 on brake work. With a Bosch motor and 1/3 fewer parts than an ICE, there isn't much that can go wrong, even on this 11 year old FIAT.
    The range has always been less than 100 miles, and we've seen a reduction of between 5 and 10 miles as the batteries age. Going 0-60 it blows away most everything else at the traffic light, and its ride is quiet and solid because of the electric motor and the added weight of the batteries.
    Would I buy another 500e? Possibly, and only if the price was right. I'm long familiar with FIAT's deserved reputation as documented in Consumers Reports and elsewhere, including your channel. So I wouldn't exactly call myself a FIAT fanboy... Do you think I ended up with a unicorn or what?

I ended up building a frame and roof panels to cover the rubber roof, due to leaks, expensive to repair. I want to buy one of the blue cargo trailers, and take the appliances, power panel, plumbing, tanks, etc, and make a travel trailer that isn't a pile of cheap framing, aluminum and the stupid rubber roof, out of a real trailer. I'll use the a/ c, too. Go to Mishawaka or Elkhart, IN, if you want to see where these regular travel trailers are made. I'm not impressed with the value/buck of these things.

    I think you will find that Fiat 500s for the USA are made by Stellantis in Mexico. For the European market they are made in Poland. They are fairly popular here in the UK, because people think they look pretty. Unfortunately, for their size, they are rather heavy (especially if you opt for the power sun roof). Not many people go for the automatic transmission here and those that do regret it. However we also get the Fiat Panda, which is a boxy little utility 5 door that is as cheap as chips and, in my opinion, a much better car.

      The underground 230kV and 500kV underground lines are in oil-filled piping, buried much deeper than utility lines in neighborhoods to avoid damage. The cost to install these is prohibitively expensive compared to overhead uninsulated lines on 100-150 ft tall monopoles.

    Many GM cars on the road do not allow BluTooth to be used for more than just calls and require the cell phone to be plugged into the console in order to have GPS whether it is Apple Maps or Google Maps to be loud enough to hear over road noise. My sister's Cruse has Apple Maps because it is one year newer than mine but 2014 and previous Chevys do not. So when I upgraded my iPhone it came with a cable (USB-C) I cannot use in my car, so I use the one that came with my iPhone 7. So technology is going to change from time to time. They used to encourage people to change to BluTooth for computer mice, but people who use computer mice and keyboards for computer games found out quickly that the latency (delay) was too great and they switched to USB-A. Now it is hard to even find a computer mouse that uses BluTooth. I think that GM and other car makers are trying to keep up with the tech based on what their own executives and their executive's teenage kids are using. Some states are trying to pass laws to keep automakers from pulling AM radio from their cars because of state and interstate highways giving weather and Amber alerts via the AM band.

    She first drove in the IndyCar Series with Rahal Letterman Racing in 2005 and took three pole positions, equaling Tomas Scheckter's record of poles in a rookie season. She was named the Rookie of the Year for both the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and the 2005 IndyCar Series. She improved over the next two years with Rahal Letterman Racing in 2006 and later Andretti Green Racing in 2007. In 2008, Patrick followed up her Japan victory to place sixth overall in the drivers' standings. She improved on this to secure fifth the following season, which saw her finish a career-high third at the Indianapolis 500, the best performance by any woman at the race. Patrick's overall form declined during 2010, but she still managed two-second-places at oval tracks before leaving IndyCar after the 2011 season to focus on stock car racing full-time. Ouch, Scotty left that out. He can only win a pole in his dreams.

    5:55 As long as this guy is putting up wires on his property, and there are no easements on his deed prohibiting it, I'd say he's within his rights. He didn't force the power company to pollute his property with alternating EM fields; finders-keepers. That said, 36.2 Joules is a little over half a watt-minute, or 1/120th of a watt-hour, or 1/120,000 KWH, or about 3/10,000 of a cent's worth of electricity.

    I wouldn't care to buy one of those things especially not new as a lot of the leaks and fall apart and they're way over priced. There is a guy on RUclips channel called truck house life that built his own and put it on the back of an old Ford F350 diesel. And it's like a perfect little setup for traveling on the road a lot in Alaska. He can even still pull a trailer with the little house on the truck. It's actually pretty cool and I'd recommend checking it out. If I was gonna something like that I might seriously consider doing what he did rather than buying an overpriced leaky tin can.

    0:45 because the car itself runs Android now natively, which most or all automakers are soon to do. So there's not really a need for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay anymore. Again, this is coming to most other automakers soon.
    One of the big reasons is to tightly integrate the system with the EV system, ie maps telling you charge level and routing you to a charger as well as pre-conditioning the battery if you're going to a fast charger.

Would fade to nothing after 1 crash stop. Now the police use chargers and the primary reason they have to break off a high speed pursuit is bacause they run out of brakes.

Profit is profit rather than just waste it. The infrastructure is there, sell it to the farmers, maybe they can use it to buy solar panels and use it For EVs, get em cheap and have a string of them to go into town.
