1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: I need your help, Jason Lauren. I'll get to that shortly.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: But a news article has caught my eye. Basically, the

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: EV market, the electric vehicles, in the words of top

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Gear host Quentin Wilson from the BBC, the proverbial ass

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: has fallen out of the market.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: It was like the number one seller last year it

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: was Tesla's.

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 3: Well they're saying the wrong information is out there about them.

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he claims that they're becoming even bigger money

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: pits and petrol vehicles because competition has increased and as

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: such the price of the vehicle has decreased, which is

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: I guess good for consumers in many respects. So Tesla model,

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: why is now eleven and a half thousand dollars cheaper

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: than it was other cars like Pergio E two thousand

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: and eight Because we get used by twenty grand, We

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: get ripped.

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: In Australia, Yeah we do. But I don't think anyone's

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: buying a car as an investment anyway. Well, the price

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: drop like.

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are turning over vehicles, like

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, they lease them for five years and then

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: you get a new one. And that's what's happened to me.

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: So five years ago, years ago, the mid life crisis began.

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: Well, you got the midlife crisis car before you're even

25
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: having a midlife crisis exactly.

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: Also, why didn't know this was a least job?

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's a compact car, isn't it. It's

28
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: very low. Would you say it's.

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: Low even I say it's low.

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got a few settings. It's got comfort which

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: I drive it in most of the time. It's got

32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Sports Mode, and it's got Sports Plus mode, which I've

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: used once.

34
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: For the airport Sports Plus when you just.

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: To get onto the freeway to get past the traffic.

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: What about the drive through?

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: No, that Sports Plus choose up too much petrol. So

38
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: it's time to upgrade.

39
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: Have you got the balloon payment they get you? Yeah?

40
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: Oh god, this has me nothing but sorry what's that?

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: Oh right?

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: Fakullly the resail is pretty good on the old Mercedes. Right,

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: So I've got a few options.

44
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 3: Looking at an EV.

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: First option is an.

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: EV get a Tesler.

47
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: Do I want an electric vehicle?

48
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a.

49
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: Way to go if you're only driving in and around

50
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: the city, which you are. You live in Richmond, you

51
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: work in the Docklands and you work here. We're a

52
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: week south Melbourne. You don't drive long distances. They are

53
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: so zippy.

54
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: That's why I can get one because I'm down Hampton

55
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: next way, right, I need to charge.

56
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's pros and cons.

57
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: Right.

58
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: The con here is that I I run out a

59
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: few quite of which means I will run out of battery.

60
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, drive to work with a big extension.

61
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: The good thing is that you just get home and

62
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: you can just plug it in. You don't have to

63
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: stop at a petrol station.

64
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: Right.

65
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: The other thing I'm contemplating is a bit controversial, given

66
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm driving a sports car at the moment, is to

67
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: upgrade to a I think they call them souper utes,

68
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: but like a ram, a chunky.

69
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: I can see you in a fort raptor could.

70
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: What are you going to do? Put your beagel in

71
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: the back. Most people are putting ladders and.

72
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: On the news, I'll hang them in the tray.

73
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: Are you going to a.

74
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: Tiny little gym bag? What do you even having your

75
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: gym bag? A water bottle?

76
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: You're driving, mate?

77
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: You can't have a ram. You cannot go from a

78
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: sports car to a ram. That's too much.

79
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Maybe getting some form.

80
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: Of scooter, a scoot like a vest car.

81
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I've got the coordination or the car controlled, sorry,

82
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: the motorbike control for we.

83
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: Used to have.

84
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: Are you talking about like a razor scooter?

85
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like a vespa. I'm thinking about like a vesper,

86
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: like an e scooter.

87
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: So we used to have a boss Thatt worked at

88
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: the radio station that would come in like decked head

89
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: to toe in the leather, had the big black helmet

90
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 4: like look, and we're like, man, he must be drinking

91
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: cruise out of Harley. And one day we called him

92
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: with the car park and he was on a vest

93
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: but like he was in Bali and a little tiny mobile.

94
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I could do a motorbike. The only issue

95
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: is that you've got to sitt You've got to sit
