Filip Stojanovski Keep in mind the U S early 1900 cars were mostly EV. Amazing that 7 out of 8 cars in NYC were electric back then. Henry Fords wife drove an EV and got a new one every two years. I saw a restored 1908 one with a 50 mile range at NorthEast Auto Museum in Norwich NY in August 2019.
i think that’s what really makes him differ from other CEOs, and it makes him seem more personable and easy to talk to. When bill gets would give a presentation I wouldn’t ever dare ask a question or anything
What are you even talking about?? Elon Musk is so not down to earth😂😂.... He's incredibly smart and a great visionary but facts are facts. He's not down to earth.
And he is still human! He is not one of those other Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos. He ist just a normal dude, withe a better brain than the most of us and a vision.
I would never count out Peter Thiel, and since Thiel said " I would never count out Elon Musk". I have to agree. Two super smart people of our (or any) century. I so thrilled we have them. And I believe they "have heart, i.e., a conscience" also.
Already, in fact what this Man may achieve over the next 20 years could well put our species onto a road that will ultimately take us out into the universe. I wish Carl Sagan could have lived to see this. How he would have been transfixed by this Man and he too would have cried during that successful Falcon Heavy launch
Agreed. The divorce probably helped because now he can focus on his first love, which is probably the reason for the divorce in the first place. When you have passion such as his, it can put a huge strain on trying to maintain personal relationships. Been there, done that....
ijw z * They were probably offered WAY higher income packages by other car companies edging up the EV market. Next time, Elon should include a provision in their job contracts for a 3-year non-compete. 😂
I think the by far the biggest change he brought to this market was encouraging the competition... by making all his patents freely available to the world. How many of the selfish old men in petrol car industry would have done this? This is saying that the change to electric cars/sustainable energy is more important than any one company...
I can't say for certain, but in the early days of making cars, there probably was a fair amount of sharing knowledge and skills and techniques because cars were really new. Patents would not have been the number one focus. Building a car was. Remember some one had to cast the engine block and machine the crank and the cam and figure all the stuff out. That was no single person doing it all. You have to think PRE MODEL T days. They learned from each other...in making everything for the first time(and that was improved upon as time went on) By having the various inputs, that is how cars got made. The competition for company makes happened much later when everyone knew the basics on how to build an engine. All are still ICE from the first days. Then a German dude went a different route and designed and built the first diesel engine.(which uses some components of a gas engine and not others. He got that to run on grain oil for farmers as a cheap energy source. For farm equipment...which was simple and reliable. Some other German invented the rotary engine. Limited success. All the car makers have been in the business of making cars longer than Tesla. He said the hardest job is setting up the factory to do everything. The car manufacturers that do everything NOW, only need to change the power plant and how the battery is to be made to be put into the car frame. Tesla just used the patented stuff already made such as regenerative braking and utilized it in a vehicle. Battery tech was known. He just arranged it differently. The wheel was known so he borrowed that tech. He has not made anything NEW. He just used what we already knew and was patented. and slapped it together into a working package.
@@bunzeebear2973 From 'Fortune' magazine 'Jan. 8th, 2019: “The 2,123 patents Ford received last year is triple the 707 it got in 2013. Among Ford’s new-age projects is a pact with Walmart Inc. Ford has said it plans to launch a purpose-built autonomous vehicle with a self-driving business model by 2021, and it’s testing autonomous cars developed alongside its partner, Argo AI.” Ford started in the car business over 100 years ago. It doesn't seem to be a 'sharing' company for the benefit of all. Old school selfish bastard attitude has not changed a bit over the years....
Yeah, he implemented fast growing daily use technologies into the cars, which any big car boy could do it long ago but didn't. Now they all have to be creative to be able to compete or some even survive. Elon didn't invent electric car, it was made long time ago, but because the same old farts it never made to mass production. Tesla is a great business model no doubt, and amount of hype around it is impressive
@@globuslive The reason electric cars never made it to production over 20 years ago was because the technology simply wasn't available. The problem was the means of storing the energy to power the car. Lithium batteries were still a relatively new technology and very expensive and only used in smaller applications. Other battery types proved to be inefficient or impractical. NiCd, for example, has too low of an energy density. NiMH, while having a modest energy density, has a low life cycle. And lead acid batteries are simply way too heavy and bulky. The idea of an electric car has been around for a long time, just the technology was not available or was impractical due to the costs at the time. Battery technology has since advanced and is made much more affordable.
I'm very happy for Elon Musk and Tesla Motors. They're both a great thing and we need them now. Here's to Musk and Tesla motors. May you have continued success from now and beyond!
I stay in South Africa, and our country needs you Elon. GDP down by 3.2% and unemployment at 27% (only the youth). Please come to RSA, we need your skills.
I looked this up because I saw articles about the unveiling not being all that good. But I really enjoyed it. Plenty of wicked wit. Good looking car. And it is. I'd love to be seen in that car. It has a trendiness to it. And it was nice to have gotten a comprehensive sense of exactly how far Tesla has come. Anybody who doesn't think the progress is amazing needs to get help. What this company has done is astonishing considering the time scale. It's a lot like the 3, but slightly bigger. Slightly shifted to utility. What are you left with? A mid sized SUV. With great performance compared to ICE equivalents. Not even comparable. Blows ice equivalents out of the stadium. And eventually industry leading automated driving. And still S3XY. It's going to sell like bananas.
LOVE IT !!! ... GREAT job and THANKS to ALL the Tesla's Team for changing the world mentality one car at a time, making it more sustainable... Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
This guy will deservedly go down in history as one of the greatest to have lived in the 20/21 century. His company has single handily dragged the other car makers into the electric revolution. For that Elon, and Americans should be very proud. 🇬🇧
Daniel Conescu Maybe the reason is the lack of over-the-top enthusiasm! It’s the moon landing all over again! Everyone went bonkers when we first went to the moon. Then the subsequent missions fell flat, with the exception of Apollo 13 of course... Elon did the impossible. Now this is the trend of many manufacturers. Ho-hum...
I don't care what the media said... "Underwhelming" ... my ass... This truly brings S3XY back! Panoramic view.. it looks more beautiful than a Porsche, and has amazing handling.. can seat 7 .. This is a beautiful car!
Lots of respect for Elon Musk. A technology visionary who we should appreciate for giving such effort into Tesla and SpaceX . All this did not come without hurdles and financial issues along the way to achieve his company goals. And For the haters and trolls - learn to think logically and with a quantitative mindset and you may understand that Elon Musk’s vision has brought products and services to market that no one else would ever consider.
Yes, well said. He has pushed the envelope and the bounds of possibilities. That not only takes genius, but dogged persistence, and a lot of help along the way from like-minded people. Good on him for inspiring and motivating people, though.
Excellent work Theater /Video production tech staff. From a marketing viewpoint , would look dynamic to have the running lights on the cars ON during light Bali-hoo at the end of video.
This was Elon's intended acronym. He wanted the 3 to be the Model E, but Ford has a Model E and threatened to sue him if he used it, hence the 3, and yes he intended "S3XY" to be the model line-up from the start.
Keep telling Elon no and he will keep showing us how. Don't give up Elon, we need your vision, determination, guts and brains to show the way forward. So lucky to have you in the USA!
I'm critical of the sloping back end. I like crossovers that have a hatch or wagon like door on the back. This gives it a ton of utility when loading things inside.
A standard wagon hatch is really bad aero and you don't use that extra space very often. The Model S and X have similar designs and swallow lots of cargo.
I am very, very impressed with this company / range of cars / man. He stated a long time ago that his goal was to be a catalyst for change to electric in transport. Whether he/Tesla alone have been that, I could not say, but he/it surely must be a massive contributor to the changes now taking place. I would love one of these, but someone like me could only afford the smallest/least expensive one at best - and only on finance. I saw an actual Tesla car (as opposed to video or pictures) on my way to work a few days ago here in Central Japan. I am guessing it was the model S. I did not know what it was to begin with, so I rode closer and thought about overtaking it. Without a sound (the driver must have thought it amusing), it left my bike behind like a fighter plane leaving a bi-plane behind. Involuntarily I made a 'whoop-whoop' sort of sound. Now I want a Tesla car (or perhaps Honda's small electric car due to be released in 2019 if romours are to be believed).
Problem is none of those companies' bikes have access to something like Superchargers. Zero has some pretty cool bikes, but who wants to wait for hours while your bike charges on longer trips?
Releasing their patents to competitors, forward thinking and potentially make a big difference to the environment, with smaller players able to catch up and ignite the future of electric motoring. Doffs one's cap.
Elon Musk is no doubt the coolest man on the planet... I think part of his success comes from how sincere he is. This guy truly cares about the planet and the people that live on it...
The thing I like about this guy is that he accomplished the impossible and he’s not one of those corporate jargon babbling overrated CEOs that get nothing done but show up and state the obvious. He’s smarter than a lot of them put together. A lot of those type of people thought they were so smart 10 years ago doubting what he could do but he proved them wrong and is still going. Creative people are way more valuable to our society than some privileged Ivy League educated ideologue who doesn’t have an innovative bone in his/her body. They may speak well but that’s all most of them can do. Those aren’t the people who move our world forward, it’s the Tesla’s and Musk types who do. Now they are seeking to destroy Musk and I kinda knew that was coming.
Fabulous man. Fabulous story. Elon is transforming the world today as Henry Ford did it in the past by vastly improving transportation and the human condition through the success of his company which only came about by his own very hard work.
if you think it through, a central control unit with wire and solenoids is actually cheaper to produce and install than levers and long mechanical cables.
I disagree, the additional capital costs of a sustainable BEV warrants a nicer overall car that will last longer. This includes having a high quality interior and high tech.
@@GeorgeHaneyPMP Oh Yes, China is shipping tons an tons of them, far more than the U.S. by number of units sold. The Chinese also heavily subsidize the cost of the BEVs. For a car like the BAIC EC-series, they cover nearly 2/3s of the cost. Nearly all the Chinese are pretty crappy though. They start with poor battery life (10s of kWh) and then the battery capacity tanks after a few years. They are making disposable BEVs not sustainable BEVs. I would question if they are even environmentally positive, I would have to look into it further.
Robert Carter I’m sure that is very comforting to people that have model 3s with roof leaks, and those that accumulate dirt, panel gaps, etc on a 50k car.
That won't work very well. A Tesla Model Y, assuming it has a 75kWh battery can travel 4 miles per kWh. If you were to cover every surface of the vehicle with solar cells(this excludes windows), you could get, under absolutely perfect conditions, 1kW of peak power output from the solar array, most likely you would only get 500W of continuous solar output. If you leave your car parked for 8 hours per day, the car will receive 4kWh of energy. That is enough to drive 16 miles. Under best-case conditions, you will receive only enough energy to travel 16 miles. Alternatively, it could take a decent bite out of air-conditioner load on a hot summer day, or be used to cool the battery, but otherwise, it won't help very much. Maybe, with high-efficiency cells, a solar roof might benefit a old Nissan Leaf, since the battery is so small, that power could be used to cool down the car on a hot day(just constantly running the fans when parked could cool down the interior by 60f... And, it would take a good chunk out of the air-conditioner power usage, extending the range by not using as much battery power, but that's only on a car old enough to have a 24kWh battery.
@The Catmother A massive solar farm in space? The economics of that has been explored at length before. As of right now, even if it was technically feasible ATM, it would cost many times more than a similar array on Earth. And we can transmit power wirelessly, at 65% efficiency, using microwave magentrons and rectennas. It works, the principal is well-known, but it would have the side-effect of roasting anything underneath it.
@@GeorgeHaneyPMP 9x more energy you say? Existing high-efficiency solar panels can convert 22.5% of the sunlight that hits them into electricity. 9x more energy would mean they are converted to 202% of the sunlight that hits them, this is not possible and never will be because ot violates the laws of physics. The highest conversion efficiency that ever will be possible is 86%.
aurora2319 check your history of cars. Henry Ford‘s wife drove an electric car and seven out of eight cars in NYC were EVs in early 1900s. They were very popular with women especially because they did not want to be involved cranking an automobile
Isn't he simply AMAZING? It's amazing the way he was turned down for a job at Netscape because of apparent personality problems. Amazing he was kicked out of his own companies such as ZIP2 and then PayPal after co-founding it. Amazing that he had to be removed from his own company as CEO because he like to shoot cars into space and smoke lots of weed. Amazing that his rocket launches fail 90% of the time with hundreds of millions of OTHER people's cargo on board (he hasn't figure out how to give NASA a call yet) and amazing he can't figure out exactly how to turn a single dime in profit after 12 years in the glorified golf-cart business! Yeah... AMAZING! You're a sheep!
Model Y Great Looking Car. But I wish it had a Center Information Dash. The car looks bare/empty upfront. Love the touch screen but whish it was vertical....I will keep searching for my first Electric SUV!

@@Tbonyandsteak I seriously don't think this idea is in the mix, I'd actually hate to see that in real life even though my fun side likes the idea but not my reality side!
He accomplished all this becuase he wasnt scared...of the government...of the other car companies....of the time ....he set out to make a car and put it on the road and that was it...he had a purpose and delivered. He should get a Nobel prize.
*It's very simple. If Elon wrapped the Planet at the Equator with a "Plug-In" seamless Power Bus and Solar Panels. The Solar Panels on the "Lit" side, would power the Night Side with seamless power distribution. Then add 2 more "Wraps" on either side of the Equator, just north and south of the tropics.*
Roadstar to Model S and Model 3, and now Model Y...amazing progress in Tesla in 10 years since 2008 and now Elon talking about for the next 10 years at the unveiling Model Y.

i think that’s what really makes him differ from other CEOs, and it makes him seem more personable and easy to talk to. When bill gets would give a presentation I wouldn’t ever dare ask a question or anything
This guy is a genius! One of most important people of our generation.
NOBEL- personality- Humanly tech modernist-🙏
Wonder why he doesn't get a nobel?
He does not need nobel...Someday there will be musk award..

with a dead hooker in a space suit
can you think of a classier way to solve the problem though
He totally needs a "My other car is in space" bumper sticker!
He seems much happier now, maybe hes got a handle on how to manage all of his projects more healthily now. Im happy for him
I would agree
Agreed. The divorce probably helped because now he can focus on his first love, which is probably the reason for the divorce in the first place. When you have passion such as his, it can put a huge strain on trying to maintain personal relationships. Been there, done that....

Involuntarily I made a 'whoop-whoop' sort of sound.
Now I want a Tesla car (or perhaps Honda's small electric car due to be released in 2019 if romours are to be believed).
When do I get to charge my Chevy VOLT at your supercharging network??????
just waiting on an electric motorcycle
Joel --> Zero already has motorcycles out. www.zeromotorcycles.com/
have a look at the futuristic Johammer, made in Austria!
Harley Davidson already has the, 'Livewire' out on the market. 100% Electric.
A few people have already mentioned a few above. There are quite a few companies making electric motorcycles now.
Problem is none of those companies' bikes have access to something like Superchargers. Zero has some pretty cool bikes, but who wants to wait for hours while your bike charges on longer trips?
Elon Musk is beyond amazing!
I was glad to get to see the first Tesla roaster mockup at Burning Man 2007. That was significant.
Name of song at starting??
Releasing their patents to competitors, forward thinking and potentially make a big difference to the environment, with smaller players able to catch up and ignite the future of electric motoring. Doffs one's cap.
I expected a Tesla Pick Up truck. Anyway, thanks for the upload.
he said late this year, so let's see if it appears until the end of 2019
What part of Model Y SUV read Pickup Truck to you?
Somebody reported it appeared for a fraction of a second on the screen...definately not part of the unveil tho :D
Can we all come to the agreement that he dance move in the beginning made this whole video 🙂☺️
Elon Musk is no doubt the coolest man on the planet... I think part of his success comes from how sincere he is. This guy truly cares about the planet and the people that live on it...
The thing I like about this guy is that he accomplished the impossible and he’s not one of those corporate jargon babbling overrated CEOs that get nothing done but show up and state the obvious. He’s smarter than a lot of them put together. A lot of those type of people thought they were so smart 10 years ago doubting what he could do but he proved them wrong and is still going. Creative people are way more valuable to our society than some privileged Ivy League educated ideologue who doesn’t have an innovative bone in his/her body. They may speak well but that’s all most of them can do. Those aren’t the people who move our world forward, it’s the Tesla’s and Musk types who do. Now they are seeking to destroy Musk and I kinda knew that was coming.
okay Elon, there's no way you're giving me a new roadster when it comes out....
Thank you for making the cars more affordable for ordinary people and not just for rich people to afford!!!!!
great video
Fabulous man. Fabulous story. Elon is transforming the world today as Henry Ford did it in the past by vastly improving transportation and the human condition through the success of his company which only came about by his own very hard work.
meh. we need the model T of electric cars.
no HD displays, no fancy crap, just a basic cheap electric car with great batteries and range.
Model Tit
if you think it through, a central control unit with wire and solenoids is actually cheaper to produce and install than levers and long mechanical cables.
YES...I couldn't agree more!
I disagree, the additional capital costs of a sustainable BEV warrants a nicer overall car that will last longer. This includes having a high quality interior and high tech.
@@GeorgeHaneyPMP Oh Yes, China is shipping tons an tons of them, far more than the U.S. by number of units sold. The Chinese also heavily subsidize the cost of the BEVs. For a car like the BAIC EC-series, they cover nearly 2/3s of the cost. Nearly all the Chinese are pretty crappy though. They start with poor battery life (10s of kWh) and then the battery capacity tanks after a few years. They are making disposable BEVs not sustainable BEVs. I would question if they are even environmentally positive, I would have to look into it further.
Inspirational!!
"Don't Fall Asleep" - apt indeed :-)
No more falcon wing doors on the Model X?
jwd0808 I was wondering the exact same thing!!!!
jwd0808 - POSSIBILITY, THE S/X got Performance Refresh, next step is Conventional doors with ALL GLASS ROOF.
After owning a Kia Sorento & a Kia Soul the model Y will be perfect.
Robert Carter probably better reliability in the Kia
@@Rothbardo Na, Tesla solves all issues with their cars if there are any.
Robert Carter I’m sure that is very comforting to people that have model 3s with roof leaks, and those that accumulate dirt, panel gaps, etc on a 50k car.
Wow. This is amazing. Please don't leave out Africa. Elon please start in South Africa.
Gone for that polarising single screen interior again I see.
He should take advantage of solar power and create a self charging Tesla vehicle. ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
That won't work very well. A Tesla Model Y, assuming it has a 75kWh battery can travel 4 miles per kWh.
If you were to cover every surface of the vehicle with solar cells(this excludes windows), you could get, under absolutely perfect conditions, 1kW of peak power output from the solar array, most likely you would only get 500W of continuous solar output. If you leave your car parked for 8 hours per day, the car will receive 4kWh of energy. That is enough to drive 16 miles.
Under best-case conditions, you will receive only enough energy to travel 16 miles. Alternatively, it could take a decent bite out of air-conditioner load on a hot summer day, or be used to cool the battery, but otherwise, it won't help very much.
Maybe, with high-efficiency cells, a solar roof might benefit a old Nissan Leaf, since the battery is so small, that power could be used to cool down the car on a hot day(just constantly running the fans when parked could cool down the interior by 60f... And, it would take a good chunk out of the air-conditioner power usage, extending the range by not using as much battery power, but that's only on a car old enough to have a 24kWh battery.
I always think about this...
@The Catmother A massive solar farm in space? The economics of that has been explored at length before. As of right now, even if it was technically feasible ATM, it would cost many times more than a similar array on Earth. And we can transmit power wirelessly, at 65% efficiency, using microwave magentrons and rectennas. It works, the principal is well-known, but it would have the side-effect of roasting anything underneath it.
You should look up the Lightyear One. They're doing just that :)
@@GeorgeHaneyPMP 9x more energy you say?
Existing high-efficiency solar panels can convert 22.5% of the sunlight that hits them into electricity. 9x more energy would mean they are converted to 202% of the sunlight that hits them, this is not possible and never will be because ot violates the laws of physics.
The highest conversion efficiency that ever will be possible is 86%.
He's the Henry Ford of our time and just like Henry Ford who made horses and carriages obsolete, he's making ICE cars obsolete.
He truly got the ball rolling, unfortunately he needs to enhance build quality so the cars compete.
aurora2319 check your history of cars. Henry Ford‘s wife drove an electric car and seven out of eight cars in NYC were EVs in early 1900s. They were very popular with women especially because they did not want to be involved cranking an automobile
Ill do ANYTHING for a Tesla
Wonder how long till there is a portable charger....maybe 50 miles in 3 hours charge time?
Kinda surprising the semi came before portable charger...
..after portable charger ...maybe before will be the car can charge it’s self.
saving the planet. elon we love you!!
Isn't he simply AMAZING? It's amazing the way he was turned down for a job at Netscape because of apparent personality problems. Amazing he was kicked out of his own companies such as ZIP2 and then PayPal after co-founding it. Amazing that he had to be removed from his own company as CEO because he like to shoot cars into space and smoke lots of weed. Amazing that his rocket launches fail 90% of the time with hundreds of millions of OTHER people's cargo on board (he hasn't figure out how to give NASA a call yet) and amazing he can't figure out exactly how to turn a single dime in profit after 12 years in the glorified golf-cart business! Yeah... AMAZING! You're a sheep!
Elon is Tony Stark 2.0
Model Y Great Looking Car. But I wish it had a Center Information Dash. The car looks bare/empty upfront. Love the touch screen but whish it was vertical....I will keep searching for my first Electric SUV!
Is tesla comming to south africa?
When people stop stealing cars
He’s an intelligent risk taker!
TT is next.
Tesla Tank with a rail gun.
All electric.
Oh my dear Jesus 😂, I shouldn't be excited but the redkneck in me can't handle resisting the thought of this idea! I'd blow up hills just for fun LMFAO then recharge/refill it and go again!!!
@@enigmagaming361 Imagine a TT with a huge IPad for controls
Mrk 1 with Railgun.
Mrk 2 with a deathray.
This WAS Tesla's dream to create the ultimate weapon
to make Wars obsoletes.
@@Tbonyandsteak I seriously don't think this idea is in the mix, I'd actually hate to see that in real life even though my fun side likes the idea but not my reality side!
@@enigmagaming361 I think the reality is far worse already
@@Tbonyandsteak I hope ur wrong o.o LOL 😂
He accomplished all this becuase he wasnt scared...of the government...of the other car companies....of the time ....he set out to make a car and put it on the road and that was it...he had a purpose and delivered. He should get a Nobel prize.
*It's very simple. If Elon wrapped the Planet at the Equator with a "Plug-In" seamless Power Bus and Solar Panels. The Solar Panels on the "Lit" side, would power the Night Side with seamless power distribution. Then add 2 more "Wraps" on either side of the Equator, just north and south of the tropics.*
Nice thought but you have no idea how much energy we lose in the transmission of electricity! It's not worth to transmit electricity across oceans.
Reveals the new car IN THE DARK
That's how you know it's an ugly car. That second generation roadster though...I could masturbate looking at that thing.
The last thing this guy need is his own Iron man suit
It must be nice to be so smart that you can be successful in any industry of your choosing.
I’m waiting for a Tesla that looks like a Vespa Scooter. I’d buy one!
Tesla model *S*
Tesla model *3*
Tesla model *X*
Tesla Model *Y*
*S* *E* *X* *Y*
Street legal Model S's blowing the doors off everything at the racetrack is doing more to change peoples' perceptions than anything else.
It's effectively the same as "trans-women" competing against biological women; a bad joke on a tilted field.
You are certainly needed tonight.
Roadstar to Model S and Model 3, and now Model Y...amazing progress in Tesla in 10 years since 2008 and now Elon talking about for the next 10 years at the unveiling Model Y.
