Hi Scotty I used to have an Ebike what a disappointment, no range to speak of, slow to charge, and really hard to peddle with a dead battary. So being a mechanic and welder/fabricator i built a gas powered trike with a cargo basket over the engine and rear wheels. way more reliable and efficiant.
Batteries have come down in price lately, no excuse for Elon!!
@@markseehawer3762 I wouldn't think of going anywhere on my premade ebike without battery power assist; it's too heavy, with shocks and racks and carriers and 2.1 inch wide tires. I can go 40 miles on a charge and beat the rush hour traffic like they're all standing still - because THEY ARE .
If you install an e-motor on a lightweight bike you can go way further if you're just pleasure cruising and pedaling too. And who needs more than 40 miles anyway?
@@thankmelater1254 agreed
Eventually everyone is going to have buy an EV by 2035 they can't sell new gasoline car's
I'm pushing 80 years old and drive a 2009 Honda Accord Coupe with a standard transmission and I love it!
I'm driving a 2013 Accord sedan. It gets 40 mpg on the freeway if I keep it under 75. Love that 6th gear.
54 with an 02 Accord coupe with the manual trans and I feel the same way, love it! Keep 'er shiny side up good sir.
I’m 49, currently driving a 4-door, 2011 Honda Accord, 5-speed and I absolutely love this car. 173,000 miles.
We get it. It's because you are 80 years old. Young folks are not buying a Honda Accord and holding on to it for 20 years.
I loved my 1990 Honda. I had it until 2009. 😂
We always used to say FIAT stood for “Fix It Again Toni”..😂😂
We used to say FORD, Fix or Repair Daily
Mopar used to say eatn fords and shitting chevys, now you couldnt give me a dodge
Look up a picture of a 1980 Fiat Strada and a 1986 Yugo. It's basically the same care. The Yugo flattened out the grill and made a couple other cosmetic changes but it even has the air intake in the same place.
Yugo bought the design from Fiat.
@@shaunelijah2232 we used to call the Fords Found On Road Dead. 😂
It's one of Scottys funniest comments.
Government subsidies is how they’re staying in business… like the majority of companies.
Have you not seen Teslas margins? They also have most sold car in the world
You mean like the bailouts of American POS auto manufacturers in 2008? At 60+ I’ll probably never own another US made vehicle…maybe a Tesla.
@@patrutherford9600 And......? Ford, GMC, Chevy did the same thing years ago. Most vehicle sold, but only to government entities, like police departments & armed forces. I used to drive shitty Chevy S-10 pickups in the 90's. Some companies even buy their own vehicles to manipulate the figures. Consumers are NOT buying them. Anything subsidize by government is a fail, like banks & car companies. There's yards of brand new EV in China & elsewhere just rotting away.
@@Skyking6976then you haven’t learned a thing
@@DecrepitBiden Tesla makes nowhere near the sales that GM, Ford do to fleets. Not sure if that's what you were insinuating. People buy them.
Also they haven't been around long in and entered a mature market unlike many other autos with top selling vehicles. Usually this takes time. They limited entries into the auto market and most do well considering their price range and market demographic.
no Tesla graveyards in china. other companies, yes. And here i thought we disagreed.
I agree with Scotty about Tesla's problems. Why? because in my former job which WAS private & bought out by Big US company, ALL the employees were walking on eggshells knowing our jobs were in jeopardy, but the big wigs kept having meetings with us saying "Oh don't worry we're the ONLY company that makes our products and we're not going anywhere". This was in 2018 and in 2020, I got let go. All the employees knew we were done despite what the bosses were saying. Today 2024, where's our company? SHUT DOWN and gone! Employees will give MORE accurate information of what's going on in a failing company even though the big wigs say, "It's all good, not to fear"
The big wigs needs time to sell their shares 😁
I know the feeling. Hope you landed on your feet and are doing well now
Its not the guy that negotiates an order. Its the people making order fulfillment take place. They have more knowledge that makes your decision a good, before placing an order.
I'm 71 so I'm an old person. We drive a 2009 Toyota Corolla. Very happy.
71 drive a 2005 Toyota Tacoma & a 2003 Honda Civic ...both in top condition
@@juliametcalf2660 They both will last forever
I am 37 very tech savvy and I got a Model y about a year ago. And it took my about 2 months to figure out how to get everything working. My wife still doesn’t know how to do a bunch of things and relies on me.
We both love the car, but extremely obvious it is not for everybody. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
@@alibabaschultz352 yes I know ...never fail with routine maintenance
You’re not old, period! People don’t get interesting until their @ least 45 & up & they just keep getting better & better. (Older women are even better than that!) 😂
Theres an increase in bad drivers because all these people rely on the car’s assistance to driving
Plus people are scrolling on their phones while driving.
We are declining
Dumbing down big time.
‘There’s a reason a train rides on tracks.” I like that quote.

Soon 73 years on this planet, married to my 33 year old Mercedes 200D, slow and steady wins the race! Driving 1000 km per month between the mountains and the city in Norway. Now, will any EV last more than 15 years?
Alexander I’m 62 years and still very happy with my mint ‘89 300E M103 355 kilometres trouble free I inherited in 2001. God willing I’ll still be driving it when I turn 90. I also do mainly highlands to the city driving. Nothing modern is better to drive. Enjoy and stay well. Australia
@@jamesrebbechi5247 late 80’s and 90’s Mercs were the best manufactured, maybe I should look around for a more powerful model. The 300E sounds tempting! All best James and thank you for the comment. Australia looks like a good place to hide from the Norwegian winter!
I am 73 years old and my " Old Peoples Car" is a Camry hybrid. I love it and get high 40 mpg to low 50 mpg. My last cat was a Matrix XRS with a 6 speed manual. I had it for 19 years. I loved the manual transmission, but there is too much traffic now and too much stop and go.
Tesla just emailed their employees in Austin and Layed a Massive Number of Employees Off Last Week
Tesla will import from China. Better quality too.
HiddenAgendas: Or Russia…..Tesla niva

Soloar panels? I don’t care how cheap they get. Anytime you drill holes in your roof, you’re asking for trouble!
You didn't have to put it on the roof.
Nevertheless, solar is too expensive for the average person to put in their house.
Then don't put them on your roof. Duh🤦♂️
@@speterbilt the roof is where you would get the maximum benefit from them. Most people, me included, would not have any other place to put them. Oh wait! I know! Just stick with old reliable electric from the company! 😂
Old people will drive Camrys and Accords
Yep. Or Avalons. Maybe now they'll drive a Toyota Crown.
and all economically smart people.
@@twinentryturboeh my coworker just paid 44k for a camry. Does 18k to 20k miles a year and pays 250 a month in gas. Could've spent 7k less on car if he bought a tesla and saved another 200 a month on gas when charging. Same guy spent 36k on a Kia Sportage for the wife and after gas it costs him just under 1000 a month. These are not the most economical people I know.
Well I guess I’m officially old. Cheers!
😊
I still drive my Oldsmobile 442 and love it. I can repair it myself and if everyone else goes electric, the cost of gas will go way down!!
That's a beautiful car!
Loved my 71 442 convertible . Red with Hurst shifter. White top. No AC and lived in Florida so after awhile it was time to move on.
My dad had a 67 Cutlass Supreme when i was a child. I've always liked Oldsmobile style. I'm concerned the government is going to put extra taxes and restrictions on Gasoline. They really want to control our behaviors and I don't put anything past them given their recent actions. I drive a Gasoline only Subaru Forester and I love it. I bought a 2024. I wonder when they will start forcing people to buy at least a hybrid. No more gas only. This sucks. What year is your Olds?
The first time I ever rode in a fiat was back in the mid 70's in former Yugoslavia.
50 years later I still have nightmares.
All manufacturers are in mess and colaps, 2 years ago they all had 10k in some situations 50k mark up's and today they are all at least 5k under msrp... i have been delivering raw material for all car manufacturers for years and i don't remember last time it was slow like now.
I work at a UPS facility that specializes in bulk packages which usually means a ton of car/truck/tractor part and man it is the slowest it’s been in over a decade right now
Tesla in a far better position compare to any car or ev company
@@SupaChinido lol, maybe better than other ev but Tesla will never beat real car sales. Most don't want fire hazards in their garage.
@rustyshackelford9414 real car companies been trying to ditch real car themselves
@@rustyshackelford9414 what real car sales? Nothing selling real well at the moment. Except Toyota and they still price gouging.
I gave up with EV’s all together. I’ll be buying myself good old combustion engine car next year.
Hurry up…! Do it while you still can!
I highly doubt you ever had an EV you definitely didn’t own a Tesla because you would never go back to gas if you did !
*I heard horses are still available, they are more reliable and you don't need gas.*

FIAT - Fix It Again Tony
Foreign Imported Auto Trash
FIAT is pretty much the same as the failing automotive industry in the USA if they have NO Quality Control nor do the have field testing, but try to remember these same CEO's have Golden Parachutes, I bet the GM women CEO BARR was responsible for folding up and moving to MEXICO how much money slipped into hands???
When the THREE R's disappeared so did common sense and intelligence...
got any other originals?
OK Scotty, I have a 20 year old Lincoln Town Car, with 180K miles on it, and I think it may be one of the best cars Ford ever built. Not to mention it's in "old man tan", but with heated driver seat, the old school V8 and rear wheel drive, it just feels right to me and will sail down the highway @80mph and get 22mpg all day long, which is as good or better than most of the SUV/4 door pickup ilk. Admittedly, I have been considering a new Camry, but I can buy a lot of gas and repairs for the price of a new vehicle.
Why the people with all the money have no common sense!
Because they aren't common people
@@mrgarrison3516facts
Common sense isn't so common
Just a reminder folks TSLA is the single Worst performing stock this year.
Reality has arrived.
People are realizing that electric cars don’t actually perform as they should. They run out of battery too soon and the recharge is too long. The energy density is not as petroleum, also 3-5 minutes to fill a tank.
I was devastated when Car Talk went down a show I grew up on with my dad and miss those guys but I have to tell you Scotti you bring their spirit back to life and you capture both of those men and your own magic in favor gifts here so thanks for what you're doing. Big love and mad respect.
Tesla is a Game Console with wheels
And not even a good one. Its a damned Virtual Boy
An iPad w/a very stylish golf cart attached.
I can start a new game after an accident?😅
whatever it is theyre selling a lot of them, get used to it
Having the choice between 2 others I never choose to drive anything but the tesla
Not to mention the lithium batteries that spontaneously catch fire on these e-bikes.

Well, an electric bicycle at least can be plugged into a standard outlet. Don't need to super charge the thing! That and if the battery actually is dead, you can still use it as a bicycle.
I got the best of both worlds 2021 Prius Prime. Hybrid engine turns on after 35 miles.
Elon's strategy has been to look for companies that work with the government. He went EVs because there were huge subsidies guaranteeing a profit. Space-X is hand-in-hand with government. He only spoke against subsidies AFTER he built Tesla WITH subsidies and tax breaks. Elon's strategy: "Get in and close the door behind you." Typical billionaire.
Fair criticism. Something I've never liked about the guy.
These hundreds, maybe thousands of companies that get government subsidies. Think defense contractors, pharmaceuticals, farmers. Think a little before you post.
Thank you for sharing Scotty
How foolish or ignorant people can be about electric cars?
Hardly any infrastructure to accommodate EV owners and expensive insurance if you get into an accident.
Insurance is a flat deductible if you get into an accident. It cost me just as much on my gas cars. Many have an EV and a gas car. This is a good way to save for your daily commutes with brakes, gas and oil, belts, plugs, clutch etc.
love my Tesla
and 20,000 -30,000 dollars for a new battery
That's true electric car just no infrastructure but you can charge electric bicycle anywhere you can even use just one solar panel to charge the battery. His take on eBikes was horrible. You can get one for like $400 brand new and ride ride anywhere explore nature and parks commute to work. Costs like 20 cents to go 100 miles etc etc. you don't have to worry about parking you can it take it anywhere. Horrible take.
Exactly. It was an intelligence test the buyers failed
Love your videos Scotty. I find if I spray all my old stuff with sweet smelling maintenance spray/cleaner, it fixes most things every time . Mend and make good people. And just for good measure, peddle power is free!
Whatever happened to the toyota battery that they said had a 900 mile range and 10 minute charging time?
Thats the problem.People dont listen.Its 10 mile/900 minutes charging time.With electricity produced by fossil fuel.😲
They never tell you the whole picture. Likely it wasn't able to charge more than a handful of times.
Toyota and Honda are working on a JV battery ...what you are talking about is probably solid state ....wont be commercially viable for a couple years
Old people cars? You are one of us now Scotty!
Great Video Scotty - I agree with all that you say - except that the build quality of the Fiat 500 has improved - they don't rust away like they used to do. Maybe the ICE versions would sell in the USA - their 3 cylinder engined version is surprisingly quick and robust. Your comment about a lack of cars for the elderly ( this includes me) is bang-on - That's why I run two 28 year old Volvo 940s, which are not full of electronics and I can maintain them my self !
In Germany, since most people live in apartments and condos, they also have now solar panels as balcony railing.

You nailed it when you said they've watched too many science fiction movies.
There’s Tesla models like the model s that have gone over 400 thousand miles, they DON’T break and they are 100% American made vehicles Tesla has been a car company since 2012 ! Science fiction? Are you slow like your gas powered car?
I think the idea is you can ride an electric bike to work instead of driving a car. Peddaling a regular bike to work 10-20 miles isn't practical and you will be all sweaty, but you can easily do this on an ebike if you have a good path and longer range moped style ebike.
when is Musk NOT having a metal breakdown?
Avalons and Camry’s are now the choice of old folks
Hey. I'm 40 and I love the Avalon. Like I tell people, it's a Lexus without the decals and price tag.
secretly , the Avalon is the best car Toyota makes...shh keep it a secret
I’m old and drive 20 years old, rusty VW. Have I been cheated?
Avalon is gone. Replaced by the Crown.
Wind is usually involved in a Hail Storm, so the hail will get blown into the fence. Although, it would probably be less damaging to the solar panels.
I bought an electric bike some years ago. I quite often take that instead of the car, actually. It is really nice to drive, you get a little fresh air, and never get stuck in traffic. I now practically only take the car if we go more than one person or the distance is more than 10 miles or if I need to transport something the saddle bags or my small trailer can't hold.
I have a question why does the old gen Toyota Tacomas and new gen sound like a diesel like the dodge 1500 eco diesel. 6 cylinder and 4 cylinder. Thanks
Is it the sound from the spark plugs?
I will never own a EV.

I see a lot of old people in my area driving around in Buick Encores
Scotty as a long time bicyclist commuter prior to owning full on loan cars, i respectfully offer you my opinion. My decision came down to getting a vehicle or e-bike but the risk of it getting stolen and occasional need to haul bigger volumes of things swayed me to get the vehicle. It could be a life decision for die hard frugal people. Gj Colorado I suppose. Also, if i had my way, id like a hybrid bike with miniaturized systems for observational learning. Could offer a stepping stone opportunity to qualify people to work on electric vehicles.
I commuted to work for years, about 50 km both ways, and consumed about 1000 calories more per day to do so. The extra food had to be produced, and its production would produce pollution. Someone more competent than me should compare the pollution caused by electrical bikes and regular bikes.
That's fine by me. I was never planning on buying an EV, and I got rid of my X account two weeks ago.
Let X and Tesla both go under.
Europe is not one big country, so I doubt All things are being done the same in 44 separate countries; also there are so many panels because people don't want chinese junk anymore

Still get some fresh air and exercise which is something everyone needs. Not fond of them on the busy streets in town but around the back streets they are great.

Suddenly Tesla is reorganizing.
Tesla has laid off and fired 14,000 employees globally.
Their EVs just like everyone else's EVs have taken a drastic downturn in sales.
Sotty is the only person on RUclips I know that keeps making fun of the car brands that advertise their cars before his videos Nissan, Hyundai, Ford and GM.
Which aren't all bad.
My wife has had 2 fiat 500 pops. They were good cars. She loves them
A lot of people would use their bikes, but its a little too far. An e bike makes sense for people living in a city.
I am by no means saying that this is the nrom, but with reagrds to electric bikes:
My old man is in his late 70's and can't ride as far as he used to, so to get around he would drive his old 1970 mercedes he rebuilt. That thing is a gas guzzler with a v8 (talking about old man cars, haha). He just got an electric bike and suddenly he's using that for everything. Groceries, volunteer stuff, fun, all of it. I'd say in this case, the electric bike was a net win for the environment, lol
I’m NOT an American but I live and work here part time to full time year to year. I must say it’s people like this and those who follow that bring so much humor to my life. YOU DO REALIZE Tesla is a major company with most of it sales outside the United States of Lunacy. Last year I believe internationally they outsold Toyota for the most popular model which was the Y. I don’t think they are going under I DO THINK the US will be in financial turmoil very soon though. Btw, 700k on EV’s little to no problems. Also love my Toyota Taco diff tools for life is all a vehicle is.
Everything you just said is factually incorrect lol.
My 2018 model S is approaching 100k ! Its been a great vehicle
@@MrBottlecapBill1. The model y outsold all other cars.
2. Many EVs are in the hundreds of thousands with little to no sigbicant issues. Many also are as this is the case for all things.
Umm things have a non shelf life though so 🤷 it makes sense to study the gasket life span based on self use of the vehicle which also includes injector fuel intake amongst air intake through the air filter and noticing how finicky the mass air flow sensor is and how the chip can send Multiple codes just because the mass air flow sensor needs cleaned and has sensory issues example includes subaru. That mass air flow sensor is so delicate that it can triple Multiple codes, cause your vehicle to idle extremely rough and make your vehicle even go 10 mph at the least with your foot not touching any pedal and that's after changing or checking the air filter.
@@MrBottlecapBill ""The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car model in 2023, topping 1.15 million sales. It was followed closely by the Toyota Corolla. Overall global car sales grew to roughly 75.3 million units in 2023, up from 67.3 million in 2022.""

Sold 2 cars? And they close Oldsmobile & Pontiac? 1st car was a Toyota & I’ve driven a Tacoma (white 4x4 both), from 02’ to date 2013-4x4, Crew Cab, V-6 250HP!
I’m old and still driving my 2015 LaCrosse! It is in good shape.
Tesla in financial trouble ? Name one car maker in the world who are not in dire straits ?

Some Danish engineers made calculations on bicycle riding. (Denmark is a "cycling nation")
The cyclist burns calories bicycling,- these calories comes from food.
Food production burns fuels and electricity.
If you you move from A to B, the total energy consumption and pollution is quite even. Driving a gasoline car or a bicycle.
Including production and total lifetime of the car/bicycle.
Interesting and not popular calculations :)
Scotty, I own an e-bike for 4 years that replaced my honda accord to take me in a 16 miles trip to work and back. That’s a trip that I would never do pedeling in a normal bicycle, and I think we have 1000’s of people in my case. And as I can see you are simply calling me stupid. Just wondering how am I polluting more. E-bikes battery are a fraction of a size of an EV in therms of production emissions. And here in switzerland where I live, the electricity is 100% renewable.
Sorry Scotty, but I can’t really understand your point there.
Being a subscriber of your channels for years, made me economize a lot of money in maintenance and small repairs. Love your work but not everything you say its true.
Thanks and being friends again 😅
It's the amount of resources it takes to create ev vehicles. And the recycling ability is not good at all. The replacement batteries end up costing more than the vehicles.
Regardless of what they say most electricity is not 100% renewable.
Evidently you missed the point. He's saying that as an overwhelming general rule, e-bikes replace regular bikes for regular bike riders... which defeats the purpose of attempting to create less pollution because manufacturing, operating, and maintaining e-bikes creates MORE pollution than a regular bike.
If you're actually replacing a car with an e-bike, then you're an exception to that overwhelming rule. Exceptions don't negate the general rule, so what he's saying is still 100% correct. It'd be like if your local pizzeria said "80% of people who order delivery from us choose pepperoni as their topping" and you replied with "that's not true, I've been ordering sausage for 4 years now."
I love this guy, don’t know anything about ev and Tesla companies, when the company start making the cheap Tesla will love to see the face of scoty.
Tesla sucks
Should have been announced 2 years ago if there was any plan to ever release a compact vehicle.
Even if the "Model 2" was announced this very day, would take 2-3 years to get it to market. Cars are not shadow dropped on the market my guy, if there was even 1 prototype car, we would have seen it.
I want a flying car
I'm grateful to be an owner of a gorgeous 2004 Mazda 3 and she's very reliable and best of all, she's an internal combustion engine vehicle that has proven to be tough and extremely reliable for two years since I acquired it. 💝
Another here pushing 80 & I'm driving a 2009 GM that's in fantastic condition & still does 50mpg!
The old people get 3 wheel electric bikes..
😅
That’s a hell of a lot better than being locked up in some old-folks home …
My grandmother had one of those. It had a gas engine on the front tire
Hahahaha 😂 that’s so true!
@@sdrc92126haha 😂that’s even funnier!!!
Musk is begging the Tesla board to pay him that Huge 56 gazillion bonus even though the court denied him
WOW amazing TY so much ,,Keep up the great work
Actually here in the valley AZ they have alot of waymo driverless Suvs. It amazes me seeing these things driving around with no drivers 😂
Some California and Arizona homes are saving money today with the current generation of solar panels with its multi-day batteries! Solar energy will not be limited to solar panels - it will be absorbed by many new tech like the photovoltaic window system that produces continuous energy from sunlight, diffused, and ambient Light.
Back then in 2012. Dad looked at the Fiat Italian car. But went with 2012 Volkswagen TDI Jetta. we went through the Bosch (emissions), recall but kept car, 6,000 dollars (kept car) for dad's denture bill. I still have it and taking care of it and repairing it, best I can. Buick Lasabre was a great car! Floats on water!
I has a Le Sabre. 2001. Loved it. Great on gas. Boulevard ride on the budget. Spacious.
Hey -- Fix It Again Tony…..although i loved my fiat 850 coupe👍😄
They can keep their ev’s
you get to paddle electric bicycle when the battery is dead.
“Paddle” is something you do to your girlfriend when she wants to get kinky …
Felt the earthquake pretty strong where I am in the Catskills... Lol, everything leaving CA
Scotty is having another conniption fit. Keep waving those arms!
Pray for the laid off workers of Tesla.
Ameen 🙏
Why preg? Prayr does nothing, God is fiction.. grow up, deal with reality
Scotty, you have posted about 100 videos stating that Tesla has gone or is going bust. Every week you claim another huge car manufacturer has gone or is going bust, yet they’re all still here.
Remember a stopped clock is right twice a day lol

Whenever you hear anyone in charge saying "no need to panic, nothing to worry about" ...start doing both. 😁😊
best come back sounds like Ronald Reagan.
Haha, only rich early adopters even wanted an EV. FIAT is fix it again, Tony.
No solar for me or my wife. We're retired, not using much electricity in the first place and won't live long enough to pay for the ugly crap on the house. It would cost us more! We rarely pay $70., many months under $60. Plus, we live in the north with many cloudy days (sometimes weeks).
Solar panels have to be at the right angle to get good efficiency hanging them on a fence will not work, you make it 10% efficiency
Gotta Love the old Cadillacs! Wife is at33,500 Miles on her 2008!!
Colorado giving tax breaks to people buying electric bikes-you’re probably right Scotty, but in the states defense, it just looks good on paper. I work in a state job and everything is sugar coated on paper to justify us.
On solar panels. The Diodes under the back panel is where you modify the solar panels. The majority of the time when a solar panel doesn't work. One is burned out. There are 4 or 5 per panel. Buy 30 amp ones. Then buy. Alaminium heat seankers. When you solder on the new one. You're not burning it out with the hot iron. I have about 4 bags of them. They were cheap.
Man, can you try explaining that again? Take your time, and make it make sense.
