Speaker 1: I need your help, Jason Lauren. I'll get to that shortly.
Speaker 1: But a news article has caught my eye. Basically, the
Speaker 1: EV market, the electric vehicles, in the words of top
Speaker 1: Gear host Quentin Wilson from the BBC, the proverbial ass
Speaker 1: has fallen out of the market.
Speaker 2: It was like the number one seller last year it
Speaker 2: was Tesla's.
Speaker 3: Well they're saying the wrong information is out there about them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he claims that they're becoming even bigger money
Speaker 1: pits and petrol vehicles because competition has increased and as
Speaker 1: such the price of the vehicle has decreased, which is
Speaker 1: I guess good for consumers in many respects. So Tesla model,
Speaker 1: why is now eleven and a half thousand dollars cheaper
Speaker 1: than it was other cars like Pergio E two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight Because we get used by twenty grand, We
Speaker 1: get ripped.
Speaker 3: In Australia, Yeah we do. But I don't think anyone's
Speaker 3: buying a car as an investment anyway. Well, the price
Speaker 3: drop like.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are turning over vehicles, like
Speaker 1: you know, they lease them for five years and then
Speaker 1: you get a new one. And that's what's happened to me.
Speaker 1: So five years ago, years ago, the mid life crisis began.
Speaker 3: Well, you got the midlife crisis car before you're even
Speaker 3: having a midlife crisis exactly.
Speaker 2: Also, why didn't know this was a least job?
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's a compact car, isn't it. It's
Speaker 1: very low. Would you say it's.
Speaker 3: Low even I say it's low.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got a few settings. It's got comfort which
Speaker 1: I drive it in most of the time. It's got
Speaker 1: Sports Mode, and it's got Sports Plus mode, which I've
Speaker 1: used once.
Speaker 2: For the airport Sports Plus when you just.
Speaker 1: To get onto the freeway to get past the traffic.
Speaker 2: What about the drive through?
Speaker 1: No, that Sports Plus choose up too much petrol. So
Speaker 1: it's time to upgrade.
Speaker 2: Have you got the balloon payment they get you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh god, this has me nothing but sorry what's that?
Speaker 2: Oh right?
Speaker 1: Fakullly the resail is pretty good on the old Mercedes. Right,
Speaker 1: So I've got a few options.
Speaker 3: Looking at an EV.
Speaker 1: First option is an.
Speaker 3: EV get a Tesler.
Speaker 1: Do I want an electric vehicle?
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a.
Speaker 3: Way to go if you're only driving in and around
Speaker 3: the city, which you are. You live in Richmond, you
Speaker 3: work in the Docklands and you work here. We're a
Speaker 3: week south Melbourne. You don't drive long distances. They are
Speaker 3: so zippy.
Speaker 2: That's why I can get one because I'm down Hampton
Speaker 2: next way, right, I need to charge.
Speaker 1: I mean there's pros and cons.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: The con here is that I I run out a
Speaker 1: few quite of which means I will run out of battery.
Speaker 2: Yeah, drive to work with a big extension.
Speaker 3: The good thing is that you just get home and
Speaker 3: you can just plug it in. You don't have to
Speaker 3: stop at a petrol station.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: The other thing I'm contemplating is a bit controversial, given
Speaker 1: I'm driving a sports car at the moment, is to
Speaker 1: upgrade to a I think they call them souper utes,
Speaker 1: but like a ram, a chunky.
Speaker 2: I can see you in a fort raptor could.
Speaker 3: What are you going to do? Put your beagel in
Speaker 3: the back. Most people are putting ladders and.
Speaker 2: On the news, I'll hang them in the tray.
Speaker 1: Are you going to a.
Speaker 3: Tiny little gym bag? What do you even having your
Speaker 3: gym bag? A water bottle?
Speaker 2: You're driving, mate?
Speaker 3: You can't have a ram. You cannot go from a
Speaker 3: sports car to a ram. That's too much.
Speaker 1: Maybe getting some form.
Speaker 3: Of scooter, a scoot like a vest car.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've got the coordination or the car controlled, sorry,
Speaker 1: the motorbike control for we.
Speaker 2: Used to have.
Speaker 3: Are you talking about like a razor scooter?
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like a vespa. I'm thinking about like a vesper,
Speaker 1: like an e scooter.
Speaker 4: So we used to have a boss Thatt worked at
Speaker 4: the radio station that would come in like decked head
Speaker 4: to toe in the leather, had the big black helmet
Speaker 4: like look, and we're like, man, he must be drinking
Speaker 4: cruise out of Harley. And one day we called him
Speaker 4: with the car park and he was on a vest
Speaker 4: but like he was in Bali and a little tiny mobile.
Speaker 1: I mean, I could do a motorbike. The only issue
Speaker 1: is that you've got to sitt You've got to sit
Speaker 1: here test, don't you. You're to drive around with l
Speaker 1: plates on your motorbike and most.
Speaker 2: Of them have that backpack that says door dash on
Speaker 2: the back.
Speaker 1: I think that you've got to wear some sort of
Speaker 1: reflective gear.
Speaker 2: Don't know that's for when you're doing are you sure?
Speaker 2: Maybe you know cruise around in hive is just going away.
Speaker 3: When you learners, you have to wear that.
Speaker 2: Oh really the whole learner currently, I can't wear the vegtab.
Speaker 3: How are you going to how are you going to
Speaker 3: carry in out coffees in the morning if you're a bike.
Speaker 2: In his door dash backpack.
