WEBVTT - Bonus: The Super Ute

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I need your help, Jason Lauren. I'll get to that shortly.

0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>But a news article has caught my eye. Basically, the

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>EV market, the electric vehicles, in the words of top

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Gear host Quentin Wilson from the BBC, the proverbial ass

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>has fallen out of the market.

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>It was like the number one seller last year it

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 2>was Tesla's.

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Well they're saying the wrong information is out there about them.

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So he claims that they're becoming even bigger money

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>pits and petrol vehicles because competition has increased and as

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>such the price of the vehicle has decreased, which is

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess good for consumers in many respects. So Tesla model,

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>why is now eleven and a half thousand dollars cheaper

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>than it was other cars like Pergio E two thousand

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and eight Because we get used by twenty grand, We

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>get ripped.

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 3>In Australia, Yeah we do. But I don't think anyone's

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 3>buying a car as an investment anyway. Well, the price

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 3>drop like.

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of people are turning over vehicles, like

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, they lease them for five years and then

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>you get a new one. And that's what's happened to me.

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>So five years ago, years ago, the mid life crisis began.

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, you got the midlife crisis car before you're even

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 3>having a midlife crisis exactly.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Also, why didn't know this was a least job?

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's it's a compact car, isn't it. It's

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.199
<v Speaker 1>very low. Would you say it's.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Low even I say it's low.

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's got a few settings. It's got comfort which

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I drive it in most of the time. It's got

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Sports Mode, and it's got Sports Plus mode, which I've

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>used once.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 2>For the airport Sports Plus when you just.

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>To get onto the freeway to get past the traffic.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>What about the drive through?

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>No, that Sports Plus choose up too much petrol. So

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>it's time to upgrade.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Have you got the balloon payment they get you? Yeah?

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, this has me nothing but sorry what's that?

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh right?

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Fakullly the resail is pretty good on the old Mercedes. Right,

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>So I've got a few options.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 3>Looking at an EV.

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>First option is an.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 3>EV get a Tesler.

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Do I want an electric vehicle?

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's a.

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Way to go if you're only driving in and around

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 3>the city, which you are. You live in Richmond, you

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 3>work in the Docklands and you work here. We're a

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>week south Melbourne. You don't drive long distances. They are

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 3>so zippy.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.519
<v Speaker 2>That's why I can get one because I'm down Hampton

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>next way, right, I need to charge.

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's pros and cons.

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>The con here is that I I run out a

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>few quite of which means I will run out of battery.

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, drive to work with a big extension.

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>The good thing is that you just get home and

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 3>you can just plug it in. You don't have to

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 3>stop at a petrol station.

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>The other thing I'm contemplating is a bit controversial, given

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm driving a sports car at the moment, is to

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>upgrade to a I think they call them souper utes,

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>but like a ram, a chunky.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I can see you in a fort raptor could.

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 3>What are you going to do? Put your beagel in

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 3>the back. Most people are putting ladders and.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>On the news, I'll hang them in the tray.

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you going to a.

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Tiny little gym bag? What do you even having your

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 3>gym bag? A water bottle?

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 2>You're driving, mate?

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 3>You can't have a ram. You cannot go from a

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 3>sports car to a ram. That's too much.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe getting some form.

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Of scooter, a scoot like a vest car.

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I've got the coordination or the car controlled, sorry,

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the motorbike control for we.

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Used to have.

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Are you talking about like a razor scooter?

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking like a vespa. I'm thinking about like a vesper,

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>like an e scooter.

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 4>So we used to have a boss Thatt worked at

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 4>the radio station that would come in like decked head

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 4>to toe in the leather, had the big black helmet

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 4>like look, and we're like, man, he must be drinking

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 4>cruise out of Harley. And one day we called him

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 4>with the car park and he was on a vest

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 4>but like he was in Bali and a little tiny mobile.

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I could do a motorbike. The only issue

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>is that you've got to sitt You've got to sit

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>here test, don't you. You're to drive around with l

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>plates on your motorbike and most.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Of them have that backpack that says door dash on

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>the back.

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that you've got to wear some sort of

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>reflective gear.

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Don't know that's for when you're doing are you sure?

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you know cruise around in hive is just going away.

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 3>When you learners, you have to wear that.

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh really the whole learner currently, I can't wear the vegtab.

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.440
