@scottykilmer The people claiming Japan has a population problem are the same people that want Japan to take in migrants like America's doing. Japan has stood strong for decades against having third world migrants flow in like groups like Amnesty International want so that's where the "Population Decline" comes from. The irony is the same people that promote mass immigration into the West also claim the Worlds overpopulated.
NO Tesla parts inventory is by design.
Pretend it's a Fiat 500 and buy one for the road and one as a source of spare parts 🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bingo
Trickle down tech company shenanigans
He stole the idea from Harbor Freight
The reason why newer designs don’t last as long is Planned Obsolescence. Companies realized it was more profitable to make sure cars would break after the warranty expired, to keep people interested in rotating out old cars for newer ones. Think engineers can’t design something to last 100s of thousands of miles with scheduled maintenance? Of course they can but they’d lose money.
They want the same profit margins as cell phone manufacturers.
So they are making them like smartphones now.
5 years max.
You blame the car manufacture but in reality there's EPA regulations like all cars need to get 60 mpg by 2030.
They start replacing parts with plastic to reduce weight, increase mpg, put in a poopy 10 speed transmission to increase mpg. Make the engine out of 2 types of metal to reduce weight.
Then all the safety regulations ... up until the epa is disbanded you're never getting a simple car again.
There's a channel here on RUclips I watch called "I do cars" where the guy who runs a salvage business does engine teardowns. The most surprising trend (at least to me) is using the backside of the engine for timing and accessory drive systems. Particularly, the use of belts to drive the oiling system on some Ford Ecoboost and the new GM 3.0 Duramax. This way, you must separate the engine and transmission in order to service these vital components. I believe the thinking is that these items won't need service because of there's a failure, you just pay for a new engine.
You’re absolutely right, companies design things to fail not to last. Parts, components etc. are tested to see when they fail and if after thousands of hours or cycles it’s still functioning they go back and tweak it to fail when they determine. This goes for pretty much EVERYTHING, for example why don’t diesel trucks designated for government use have def systems? Rules for thee but not for me.
My brother is an engineer. He does part failure testing. So if a part fails at 50,000 repetition, the company will use a weaker material, so it fails faster. Then instead of just buying that 1 part, you have to buy an entire assembly/kit. Plus labor. $$$$$$$$
I have a small apartment and the electricity costs 150/mo on average. I turn off all lights, cook every meal on a cook stove or grill, take short showers, etc. These people saying it costs 5 bucks to charge their cars are liars.
Right!
It cost less than $150 monthly to power my 3000 square foot house. You are getting worked over, bro. And it does cost less than $5 to charge my Tesla.
@@johnnya9150I'm not against EV's but in your claim I don't believe that you're being totally forthcoming. Where do you live? What level charger do you use to charge up your car? What were any up-front costs to install it. What is your battery charge percentage before and after charging? I have three friends in three different states and I know their answers to my questions. Or in the case of two of the three, I should say that I knew. One had buyers remorse and sold his EV, one sold his house and his EV, and the third only drivers his EV locally now because going from charger to charger on long distance trips often cut heavenly into his travel and / or vacation times. Luckily , I let them be my guinea pigs before I made a decision about buying an EV.
@@johnnya9150 Not in California butt head.
where i live it costs 35 dollars a month just to have it hooked up weather you use it or not and the rates are very high
Lived in Japan for a few years. I 100% believe their rail project will be done on time!
They are VERY efficient people!
Where about did you live? I live in Kanazawa, Ishikawa. Did you like it here?
Who are completely broke as a nation.
Well duh, of course they're very efficient because they have to live (millions of folks) together on *AN ISLAND!!!!* and they have only so much land until they run out of space to inhabit.
I can't believe I've owned my Tesla for more than a year, but even if it's not flawless, I still love my car.
I'm just speculating, but those who have no idea what they're doing usually just head for the tallest point. But in this case, if they are searching for a particular resistance or support-I may be a little off now, but it's around this vinity-you can follow it by observing that, if we really focus in, the price action breaks through any resistance. If you can reach to *Leah* *Foster* *Alderman* and company are professional consultant support available right in the market. It will be quite simple to track the resistance by sort of again identifying these abnormalities; she is understanding.
After spending some time with her and saying many thanks, I'll look up her qualifications.
My objective was to become financially independent. Although I was very fortunate to receive a soccer scholarship, I lived a miserable most of my life because my parents still gave me food and other essentials.
You'll have to exercise patience momentarily. After that, I'll probably watch what Tesla does.
Breaking my brain
Why I buy very common and reliable older vehicles. Lots of parts in junkyards and aftermarket parts available.
You are a very smart person!!!
@@steves3688 The other litmus test is a lot of very high mileage (200K+) vehicles of the model run out there.
I have nothing against EVs. But the government should not be mandating them.
Let the market win. I agree with you.
i agree. Especially when they use tax payer money to do it!
what mandates? last I checked you can buy whatever you want
I mean, if they’re so great why are they having to threaten everyone into driving one?
@@GG-te3eg Where have you been? California no ICE after 2030. Other states following suit. EPA going to strangle ICE with unreasonable emissions requirements.
When Musk broke the window on the pickup, should have been "notice" of poor quality.
When quality diminishes over time as problems are fixed, it means the design was basically flawed to begin with.
Says no quality control engineer.
It amazes me that people actually think a Telsa is Saving our earth when it takes coal burning to power their chargers!
Which country do you live in where they dominate in coal
@@DreDresChaptersHere in the U.S. coal is used most often. It’s powering most of Los Angeles by long distance transmission lines.
@@frederickmfarias3109 No it isn't. CA keeps setting a new record for how long they go on 100 percent non-fossil fuel powered grid. They have gone 45 days straight and 69 out of 75 days for their main grid. Only 0.13 percent comes from coal generation as of 2024.

$250 for 200 miles of EV range what a deal 😂
Lolol!!!!
You literally can’t get that price if you tried. $8- $12 max for 341 miles on a model 3.
@@nickmalone3143 you are misinformed. I got an EV SUV 60 days ago and my electric bill went up $15. My vehicle is always fully charged. No need to put gas in. No more oil changes, no more brake service as I use the regeneration instead of manual braking. No more noise. First maintenance is at 24k miles to rotate the tires.

Here in the UK we used to play a game of spot the Mini and we used to count how many we saw on each trip we made. Now I just look for the letter T on the back of a vehicle and play spot the tw&t. 😂 I can never stop laughing whenever I see James May's video of him trying to get into his Tesla to charge up the flat battery and having great difficulty.
they trashed ev's a few times on top gear, so im sure he knows how they are, james is a very wealthy company man and he is doing his part to save the environment....just in case
Great info on the misconceptions of EVs. Nice work.
My daughter wrecked her brand new Ford Ranger and waited 7 months for parts.
Revv up your engines!
I bet it wasn't her fault though.
its the other guy who cut her off
How could Ford make a vehicle but not have spare parts for them? That is why one should buy older vehicles that have aftermarket parts that already been manufacturer or at least get parts at a junk yark.
@@cessealbeach Of course. I know many people who have accidents and NONE of them ever were to blame. It was always the other person. Amazing.
What's the deal with Japan's conveyor belt system? Freight trains already serve that purpose. One train with a crew of two men can replace 200 trucks. Plus there's the maintenance. If a train engine is out you get another one. If the conveyor belt is down, the entire pipeline of goods comes to a halt.
Exactly my point when I saw this. Doesn't it already exists? We call that a "train".
The Japanese solution is a brilliant solution to the problem just like their public transport infrastructure. There’s literally no country in the world with such an incredibly efficient well run public transport system.
Hmm, maybe. I worked in and around Tokyo, travelling by train every day. Getting a seat on a commuter train was difficult, so strap-hanging for 30 minutes was common. Yes, the trains ran on time but often there's a race to board a train just to get a seat. Also, there's an art to standing in just the right place on a railway platform so that the doors slide open in front of you - then you rush in to grab a seat.
@@MrWindermere123that's not bad infrastructure, that's overcrowding due to population
@@MrWindermere123 You must not have used the train to get to work in a Big US city. The popular early morning trains are packed usually on the 2nd stop. Common to see absolutely no room to even board them ! A seat ? Now your dreaming !
@@MrWindermere123that sounds way better than trying to maintain my old beat up van and driving an hour to work every day.
Easier to do when you have high population density.
Those tesla trucks are fuuuggly.....reminds me of a preschoolers first work of art 🗑
Yet the Cybertruck is on target to become the best-selling pickup in the country. Some folks must like it OK.
would take over the lightning no question. (would not buy either tho)
@@donaldstinnett5630People liking something doesn't make it less ugly or more functional. Lol.
The first original Tesla made by Nicholas Tesla didn't have a battery, was run by free energy. Can't have that, need a reason to pick your pockets
It most likely was stolen from a preschool kid.
Lot's of adults out there who are still little kids mentally 🤷
The Japanese will build that conveyor system. Look at how quickly they rebuild after massive earthquakes.
Thats because they are a people. Here in America we are just a bunch of greedy individuals.
@@boristheamerican2938 Japanese are not greedy. Where else in the world can you shuck your own hand picked grain at the machine at the apartment. It's absolutely way beyond America or any country in the world.
@boristheamerican2938 we have both kinds of people ..greedy AND lazy...bad.mix
For freight, a conveyor belt is great. More room on the roadways. Japan is already HIGHLY dependent on their trains. And they are efficient at the railwaying. If your train is late, they give you an excuse note to give to your employer. Plus 350 miles in Japan is much farther than 350 in the USA.
Japanese trains are nationalized. Same as Europe. USAs are private companies. Must be profitable. John Deere USED to use railroad to get raw materials and ship finished product. Now they use trucks and let the public build the roads while the railroad pulled up their tracks. Now Deere is sending production to Mexico. Make it make sense.
@@chrishayden7016yes! Make it make sense!!
Wow 350 miles is - wait for it - 350 anywhere in the world😳😳🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
People didn’t want fiats because they’re way too small. People buy crappy suvs like crazy. So reliability isn’t really a major concern for a lot of car buyers.
You would think, but I feel like it's more a matter of people just don't know the importance of research or even understand it?
I was looking at Fiats about 4 years ago and they didn't get good reviews tho. Although overall you're not wrong. 😅
Fix It Again, Tony.
@@XARIER39 "In doing so, Consumer Reports addresses the question of what are the worst brands in the auto world -- not just the best -- when it comes to predicted reliability, owner satisfaction, road performance and safety taken as a whole. The answer, it turns out, is Fiat....Just like last year, Fiat was in the cellar among 34 brands rated. With a score of 39, it was a long way behind second-worse Jeep with 48. Besides Fiat and Jeep, other Fiat Chrysler divisions rating in the top 10 worst, from the bottom, included fourth-place Alfa Romeo, eighth-place Dodge and ninth-place Ram. Only the Chrysler division, which consists these days of the Pacifica minivan and the 300 sedan, placed above average."....and you say you do research....LOL

I'm amazed how little Scotty knows about the Tesla brand. He's clueless with electric vehicles.
Instead of a conveyor belt, there is an invention from the 1800's called a train. It would probably be cheaper and quicker to build.
I do not know of any teir 3 in BC for residential - there tier1( the first 675 kwh in a month $0.1075 per kwh) and teir 2 anything over the 675kwh ( $0.01408 per kwh) then they also have time of day on peak +$0.05 per kwh, overnight -$0.05 per kwh and offpeak. so most people charge their car over night so they are paying either $0.05 per kwh or $0.09 per kwh. i know in commercial setups they have that sort tiers but usually after you pass a usage of 30,000 kwh in a month a third tier comes into effect
I don't get the Tesla obsession, they're ugly as sin and I would have constant range-anxiety. Get stuck in snowstorm w/ low battery? You're screwed. Try to take a 1200 mile road trip? You're screwed. No one near a charging station or power? You're screwed.
Similar stuff was said about the internal combustion engine. Reliability concerns. Fuel concerns, environmental, and economic concerns. The horse-drawn carriage advocates often said "ICEs were an unnecessary innovation." People hate on Tesla in the same manner.
You don’t get the Tesla obsession? What did Scotty say about people getting dumber? 😊
Look, don't buy one. For lots of people, they are very happy with them. And that includes me.
Toyota PHEVs are excellent. My 7 year old Prius Prime is still perfect and was very affordable to buy.
You got the cyberjunk fans angry lmao
When I am driving around with a friend of mine, when we see a Tesla, we say “Another Appliance”………….
That’s about 1.8 million appliances being sold per years! You’ve got a ways to go!

I have had a 2024 Model 3 Highland LR for three months and its one of the best cars I have ever owned. It's build quality was as good as my MB E350 (which I traded in after 120k0 miles. I have gone 350 miles every two weeks on $9 in electricity. I think the whole story about Tesla build quality being an issue is from when they were a new manufacturer. They have upped their game. Toyota bought a Model Y with the giga-castings and said that Tesla's approach to manufacturing was brilliant and a benchmark.
Tesla's new approach to manufacturing is fascinating. If Tesla hypothetically were to build an ICE car, I wonder how different it would be, and if they would be able to undercut the legacy manufacturers on price and quality
Wait six months, and tell us the same.
>>> Scotty swallowing those canoe/kayak photos hook, line, and sinker! ;)

Well I love you Scotty.. but to go against your theory a little … Tesla stock has gone up big time in the last 13 straight trading days .
they beat estimates and proved demand is still very strong. ev sales are down for all other automakers as they are inferior compared to tesla when it comes to a balance of infrastructure, range and price.

Yeah, you go ahead, and believe it, it's your right. Lol
@@analyticalhabitrails9857it wasn’t a question it was a statement. If your gonna hate at least google your stuff lmao
I have wondered why is Tesla stock higher than Ford or Chevrolet? Why is that?
Because it does not now nor has it ever made its money from cars. They trade emission credits. Because of their industry type, they get credits from the government that they can sell to other companies. I was surprised the first time I heard it. That’s why Teslas can be terrible cars.
its not just about car sales, think about all the data collected for self driving and the tech involved. ford and gm also do not make a good EV.
I have to wonder why you asked such a dumb question
Because there are alot of wishful thinkers out there!😊
The entire car industry WILL put us into a major depression by mid 2025... This WILL absolutely happen... It's not just here... Name a country...
I had solar installed on my house in November of 2022. Bought outright, no contract. No electric bill for 14 months and they had to send me a check for the surplus. A month later I purchased a VWiD4 and charge at home. 4 months now and still no payment due from the power company. Yes, it cost me 13k for the solar system but now I have no electric bill and I'm driving on sunshine. In short, it might not be for everybody but it works for me.
I got in a friends Tesla to go for a ride. It was fast and fun! Until we had to stop at the charger for a half hour 😂
Motor Trend states Superchargers sell electricity for 25-50 cents per kWh. The extended range battery is 131 kWh. This would cost $65.50 to charge 0 to 100% (about the cost of 20 gallons in most states). Ford claims 320 miles of range. Thus in the worst case scenario, comparable cost of gasoline at 15 mpg.
Charging at home for 10 cents per kWh allows soccer moms to avoid smelly gas stations while paying equivalent to 75 mpg in town. Most men in business suits appreciate the smell of splashed diesel from their RAMs with crapped out diesel injectors and rings.
It’s 72 cents here in Ontario last time I checked! Way more expensive than gasoline. At night it’s 2 cents, so charge at home for those rich people that can. Screw the average person.
Who's paying 10¢ KwH for home electricity?
I hate everything about Tesla. Absolutely everything. And people they're "NOT GREEN" green and they're driving up insurance rates for everybody.
I don't get the obsession you have with Tesla
They also don't burn oil, 20 years of burning the U.S. Amount of 137 billion gallons annually is not green🤣🤣🤣🤣 20 x 137 billion = 2.74 trillion gallons, it’s almost a joke. The people who “ohh I hate Tesla so much” are such hardcore losers bruh😭 breath, take a walk, take a break from the internet. Life is fine, you don’t have to buy one
I have a 911, NSX, S2000, and Tesla Model S 2022. I've become a believer in Tesla. Scotty is a dummy, but not as dumb as people that believe his drivel about Tesla.
Why so much energy hating a product and no it’s not driving up YOUR insurance rates.
Haters gonna hate. Ignore CO2 for the moment, as it is not a pollutant. Electric cars do reduce CO, NOx, SOx and various un-combusted hydrocarbons, that create smog and contaminate the air. Emissions from power plants contribute far less of these on a per mile basis. As for insurance rates, your claim is unfounded.
a glass ceiling is perfect analogy, the amount of glass teslas are made of at least most of their cars, and as a detailer ive seen tons of them and have multiple customers tell me how their windshield has just randomly split cuz the entire damn roof is glass. electric cars, and hybrids, hell even CVT transmissions STILL aren't ready. sorry Ill wait another decade and look into it again.
Spot on analysis.

These EVs lost the race 100 years ago. The ICE is the best way to move people and cargo. It has been consistently refined over the years and will continue to be refined in the future.
actually lost the race around 1905-07. 118 years ago the limits were recognized.
Fossils should’ve staid fossils. Not dug up & left where they belong. If we would’ve kept this much attention on batteries we would’ve had the new technology coming up for them way sooner.
I am not someone who gets into religious wars about cars, computers, etc.,. Often it seems like people are arguing about which is better, a screwdriver, a hammer, or a wrench. It depends. I have a five year old Dual Motor (Performance) Tesla and I thoroughly enjoy it. It has been trouble free, is a joy to drive, and it is fast as a bat out of hell. Battery life is still good. I plan to drive it until the batteries wear out or the wheels fall off. I'm not saving the planet, I'm just a technically oriented guy enjoying a great machine. I have other vehicles including a 24 year old 3/4 ton 4WD Suburban and an LX570 (Land Cruiser) on the big end, and a BMW 325 stick convertible on the small end. I love them all, and they all have their faults. Will my Tesla stay on the road as long as the Suburban and the Lexus? Probably not. Can I go off road or haul a cattle trailer with the Tesla? Only once. Is Elon Musk just looking after Elon? Absolutely. Will my Tesla die sooner than I would like? Yes, but probably, so will I. Point is, enjoy life and don't over worry these things. If you need an absolutely reliable car to get to work and can't afford more than one car, go buy the best Toyota sedan you can afford because while the Tesla would probably work very well in that role, if it breaks you don't want it to be your only car. Thanks Scotty, we love you, but you and I are both too old to get wound up about this stuff.
I'm at more than six years in my Model 3. Well, over hundred thousand miles.
If I listened to "Scotty" I'd be cruising in a Corolla from the Eighties. It would have a Carburetor.
@@farmerinchico Good to hear. I'm not putting tons of miles on any of my cars. I bought my 2019 in January of 2022. Only things I have done to it is replace the stock tires with Continentals and replace the 12 volt battery when it crapped out during a software update. Not a big deal, but I did have to unplug the main battery and reset the car, then used a jump start battery to finish up. A day later Tesla came out to my house with a new 12 volt for me - easy peasy. Scotty has his unique point of view on things and takes a little getting used to, but at this point I enjoy listening to him. Of course, I also like carburetors.
Scotty is in the pocket of big oil.
Too much of opinion for someone with multiple cars. Shut it
@@Chichmach Multiple old cars that I fix up and keep running myself at 70 years old because I enjoy it. Not to mention the ones that I fix up and give away to people when they need a car and can't afford it. Try to be a little more tolerant of other people. Life is short and being angry just takes the joy out of living. I sincerely wish you well, and I'm sorry if you are somehow offended.
As a former long time resident and annual visitor, my take on Japan's zero population growth is due to Japans business practices concerning workers. The Japanese office worker is a slave to the company he works for...going in early and never leaving until his immediate boss decides to leave....Six to seven days a week. On top of that, the worker must accompany his bosses and fellow office peers to long stints at bars and restaurants after work.
• Hence, the average worker has no time to ever develop a meaning relationship with the other sex. They barely make enough money to take time off or have the energy to do much of anything else. A boyfriend or girlfriend is a luxury, that most younger Japanese don't have time for. So, marriages are down and thus, so are childbirths.
• Smaller communities, in rural areas, are becoming ghost town towns as the few residents have moved to Tokyo or died. Hundreds of public schools have closed and are now abandoned.
• Unless Japan changes its business practices and mindsets, Japan's population will decline at an ever increasing rate. For now, Japan has opened up its borders for foreigners to immigrate. BUT, that too has become a problem because most that want to immigrate are the same types nobody wants.
I’ve had my Mach E since 2021. Bought it for 57k. No oil changes, no gas, and it costs 70-100 dollars a month in electricity to run. A lot cheaper than a ICE. Sorry, you’re wrong about electric cars…. And… after 10 years, if I need to change the battery, it’s 20k…for a brand new car essentially. Seems like economical to me
1:52 I STARTED DYING LAUGHING WHEN I SEEN THAT PICTURE OF THE DORITO BAG LOL
L😂L
Great grammar. Nothing says stupid like “I Seen”. I believe that it’s “I Saw “.
Wen I seen that Dorito bag I was laughing to, good idea for recycled packaging 😂
Another Tesla Elon video? Jesus..
I heard Tesla buyers were getting free charging for a period of time. If so the buyers feel pretty good till they use up their free charges.
Wow we call those conveyors railroads😳😳
O2 sensors, maf sensor. Screw it all. Bring back carbs. You could rebuild one for $30, sometimes 1/3 for the price of a stupid sensor.
Someone I know their Tesla stopped wrkg due to the computer .Tesla told them it could not be fixed.They owned it 2 years w/ very little mileage on it.
WTH! So they had to go buy another vehicle & they bought 1 that is alot more reliable!
We have to wake up America! Now's the time to stop wasting money on crap! ( Listen to Scotty he won't steer you wrong)
Scoot I have a Pontiac Vibe 2006 315,000 KM meter stuck at 299,999km no oil burning, no rust I applied parafine oil every corner of the boby. It's a 5 speed manual change the clutch and friction wheel 3 years ago. IT's the best car I ever own.
I’m confused…. How are you not burning oil?…
Fix It Again Tony
Wah wah wah. Here's an idea folks, if you don't like Tesla vehicles, don't buy Tesla vehicles. I don't own one, but I do see Tesla as a high probability for last man standing, for this first phase of EV adoption. A lot of the problems Scotty mentions are true, and EVs are not for most people. But if Tesla has these problems, other EV manufacturers have a thousand times those problems.
There's nothing like honest people. God bless you and yours Scotty.
Yet the "pundits" are saying "Oh, buy Tesla stock now, it's about to boom." I think they're trying to save their own stock portfolios at the regular people's expense.
Scotty, when I was a young guy, I read sci-fi books. Robert A. Heinlein was great. He wrote a short story called "The Roads Must Roll". It was about giant conveyors. Except they were "paralleled" side-by-side with faster belts to one side and slower ones where you stepped on or stepped off. If one belt stops and you switch lanes... Really bad things could happen!
1) the tesla model Y was the best selling vehicle, not EV but VEHICLE IN THE WORLD in 2023. the world has spoken and it has given its two thumbs up. 2) the Tesla Model 3 refresh has a new look and is pretty much praised by every reviewer out there, both pro EV and pro gasoline vehicle reviewers because of not only its upgraded looks but performance, quality and handling 3) Tesla has 32 THOUSAND chargers all over the world and automatically tracks and locates the most conveniently available based on your location. trouble finding a tesla charger is the exception, not the rule. Parts IS an issue, i'll give him that. Scotty is a smart and has immense experience when it comes to gasoline vehicles. but when it comes to EVs, i swear he goes batsh!t crazy and pretty much loses his mind, making stuff up and getting them from his arse.
"The multitude is ALWAYS wrong"
@@senseicorey9979 oh? So then does that mean then that the minority is ALWAYS right?
I will buy electric car if:
1. I will run 800 km highway on one charge.
2. Be less than 4.1 meters long (in Europe, space is expensive!)
3. Will cost the same or less, as ICE car of the same size.
That may take some time. A long time.
Fuel costs mean nothing to you?
The giant conveyor belt sounds a lot like a train.
I saw a guy in a VW Westfailia camper van driving down the highway with the camper/pop top in the open position_. I honked and pointed up to him and he looked at me and waved back.
I personally don’t understand how dumb people can be honestly.. we should be getting smarter not dumber 😂
I’m going to stand up for?
I buy used dependable cars. Not paying $35000 for a new car
If there was better infrastructure for EV's, I wouldn't have a problem buying one. I love the Tesla Model S.
Fiat never understood the car culture in US , this is why 500 models failed. To sell small cars with auto transmission in a country with long straight roads where people use it for main transportation would never work. In Europe where all cities have small streets a manual 500 is just perfect.
Lmfao Scotty you speak the truth so much. Me and my brother in law love your videos you’ve helped both of us fix several very stupid issues on vehicles without leading us on with more stupid stuff like 90% of the internet does.
Trains are not a new idea Scotty😂
Conveyor belt /train
The conveyor belt thing makes me think about the game Factorio..
That Japanese conveyor belt thing makes no sense sense to me… They have some of the best train systems in the world. Someone is trying to say that they can’t just lay down dedicated tracks for the cargo? Even if you need to make it a special gauge or something like that, it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than a single point of failure like a conveyor belt.
Everyone should at the very least drive a Tesla 1 time. It’s simply unbelievable. Zero hesitation and you just zoom off!
Disposable cars as they age
@@deznutz3163 And they should find a performance model to do it in. I literally have to do a Valsalva Maneuver to avoid blacking out at full throttle.
@@InternetDude Cars, people, we all have an expiration date.
Was a Tesla Stranded Outside Vegas.
Guy Stopped, And Asked Tesla What's The Problem.
Said He Needed ⛽ Gasoline❓
Seems, He Needed ⛽ Gasoline To Power The Gas ⛽ Generator He Had To Power Up Battery🔋❗
Oh my god, as a Vegas driver I could do a RUclips montage of the gas cars that can’t make it up the 16 mile incline before the signs start to say “turn off the AC” for cars that overheat 😭🤣 as a driver, the number one dumbest thing you’ll ever say about an EV is that they break down as I will take ONE drive around Vegas to see a minimum of 5-6 cars toast in the middle of the road 😭 gas cars bail out like my dad with the milk 🥛
270k on my grammies camry you helped me fix 35k miles ago. But I live in Detroit so the front end I put in is already blown out lol.
Always good content scotty!
At 5:24, a certified VEGGIE appears. FACT.
About electrical charging stations with different electrical companies nationwide, of course those guys will charge you (😊 the pun) the highest cost. That's one of the negatives of EVs, like refueling a gas car with the only option of premium gas or nothing.
@@user-go8vi5lb6u3rd I charge at home & don’t have to decide between chevron (expensive) and Arco (cheap/dirty) anymore
My daughter-in-law has a Model 3. Piece of crap, IMHO. Sure, it's fast and zippy, which is what she likes, but the quality of the interior is not much better than a low-trim level Nissan Versa, the back seat is very low and uncomfortable, and you need to read the manual just to start the stupid thing. But she loves that sort of stuff, like using her iPhone to check the state of charge and be able to see who might have brushed up against it while walking through the supermarket parking lot, etc...
She made a good choice, but I hope she got the 2025 one… I don’t like the old quality either
I want a Tesla!! Or one of the new Prius...I have a Prius now it's a 2012 it has over 200,000 miles on it and still rolling!! And it gets such awesome milage! I love it
Tesla is more than the car company. Thier main indutry is the battery packs. The cars are side hussle.
You know more than anyone I know!
I hope you're kidding.
@@kenfrank2730lol yeah because I know no one
If it doesnt have a v8 in it im not buying it
Whated oil filter with a by pass valve that opens as filter catches too much trash. Then it was available. It was worth the price and I bought a case.
People will regret not buying Tesla stock once the robo taxi fleet is finally up and running. Also the Optimus Robot will increase the stock price. Yes Elon products take longer than he usually says it will, but 5, 10 years from now. Many people will be able to retire off their Tesla stock if they just hang in there
Alot of ignorant people on this site that don't own and drive a Tesla hating on EVs.. Elon and this company is at the fore front of innovation. there is no other company like this.. As a Tesla owner, I will NEVER go back to an ICE vehicle. Scotty makes a living fixing on ICE vehicles.. His bias is very obvious.....
At the forefront despite the fact that BYD, NIO etc are reaming Tesla globally. In no small part because their cars are cheaper and have better features. And if you think that comical robot is going to be a big money earner then I have a bridge in Afghanistan to send you. Because clearly you will believe anything. Ever seen Boston Dynamics? Those robots are so far ahead of what Tesla is doing that it's just comedy. There is no forefront there. Only if you deliberately ignore everything that every other robot company is doing so that you can pretend Tesla is somehow leading that field. And the robo taxis? Sure.......will that be about "Hyperloop" success? Go look at what Elmo promised and then go look at what he actually delivered.....a one lane tunnel that has to be driven by a driver at all times. What a joke.....
Elon isn’t a founder nor the original owner and he doesn’t have the passion that Martin and Marc did.
I'm not an Elon fan, but living hell dude. You're ignorant, uninforned and biased.
@@fixyourmind "Insane and ignorant" may be a little harsh, but on the facts I have to agree. Kim Java did a great interview with one of the early guys and he said they were all putting in 100+ hours a week including Elon, who really did sleep on his desk. I can sympathize because during research projects I used to sleep on a WWII era slate pool table until I finally upgraded to a folding bed. I can't compare Elon to his co-workers as to motivation, but the effort was certainly put forth.
@@fixyourmind He’s an amazing cheerleader for himself.
Those Loony lefty's expect you to fall for this "Shell Game"
It's not the charging network so much as the grid cannot supply the numbers that will be required if the majority go electric.
Tell it Like it is Mr Kilmer. Thank You for posting 👍🙏
You couldn't run fast enough to give me an EV.
That’s why poor people stay broke. They cry when you solve most of their issues but ask for money when they think they have all the answers
I love my gas cars but I also have a Tesla model 3. I pay 3 cents a mile for home charging. Superchargers are very similar to the rates of a gallon of gas. The cost of a supercharger just equipment alone probably warrants the higher rates and the locations they are at want some profit as well. I have 5 months of home level 2 charging and I charge overnight. it's under 3 dollars for 100 miles of range.
My daughter when she came to visit me she rented a Tesla and we went out to do some things and I asked if I could try it drive the car cause I never drove electric test before and yeah it’s damn quick, but it is complicated. You look at the screen, but I don’t like the way the car looks, and I imagine the charging level, I was told it’s about the same price as gas that charge it up. I don’t know that could be online. Who knows I didn’t care too much about those cars, but they were pretty damn quick.
