WEBVTT - EV Demand Slows;  Modern Classics from Ferrari, Porsche and Ford

0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Matt Miller and I'm Hannah Elliott, and this is

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>hot pursuit.

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, we have a lot of cool stuff to

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.599
<v Speaker 2>talk about on today's show. Number one, we're going to

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 2>talk about the collector car market, because Hannah, you've written

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 2>a piece about maybe some of the high end Ferrari

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 2>prices are going to soften a little bit and some

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>American muscle maybe has room to grow.

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, you could say that.

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 4>We're also going to talk about your Porsche drive.

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 2>You've driven yet another amazing Pea car, and I want

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>to get some info from you because you know so

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 2>much about the company and collecting about what people could

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 2>get into for a reasonable price.

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Now in terms of p cars.

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 3>I got a few ideas.

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Then we're going to talk about the ev kind of

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>backlash because it was breakneck pace in terms of the growth, sales, growth,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 2>investment of more than one hundred billion dollars in this decade,

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>and now we're seeing production get cut and big losses.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 2>So it looks like that turning around in a big way.

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 4>So let's do it. We'll kick it off with the

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 4>collector car market.

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I used to watch all the time Barrett Jackson and

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>mikam auctions as a kid on whatever cable channel because

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>nothing was on cable except for that, and loved it.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not that in touch with that anymore because

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like most of the vehicles that I would

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 2>want are way too expensive.

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I think this is a common thing for all

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of us. In the years since the pandemic, we've seen

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>record volumes of cars being sold, record sales across many

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>brands BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari. It's been this bonanza, and

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three has really been the first year where

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>everything is just calmed down a bit, which sounds when

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you say the market's cooling, it sounds a little negative.

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>But actually what I'm hearing is this is actually good

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>news for people like us who might just want to

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>own one or two interesting cars, and we're not going

0:01:58.640 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to speculate on it.

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 3>We just want to something fun and drive it.

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you could also say that inflation has come down,

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 2>which is true, but that doesn't change the massive rise

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 2>in prices that hasn't and isn't going to turn around.

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 4>Right, So, in terms of the higher end.

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Cars, the ferraris you know, the Rarer, porschas anything with

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 2>a race provenance, these prices are gonna stay where they are, right, Yeah, yeah.

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's no sure thing in the car market,

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>but if there's something close, it's Ferrari. This is really

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the blue chip brand, the blue chip vehicle of car collecting.

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Last year, the average price of a Ferrari slipped.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>From one point three million to one point two million,

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, they came off a little bit, but they're

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>still very expensive, and you know they're going to sell.

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>I think ninety percent of Ferrari sol last year compared

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to eighty percent average in the market, So.

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna sell.

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 1>There's a little bit of a cooling, but yeah, I mean,

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>if you want to have kind of a sure bet,

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 1>Ferrari is the way to go. And yes they're expensive,

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>but there are a couple of ways you can get

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>into the brand. I'm talking about something like the Ferrari

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>f F, which we kind of touched on.

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I love I love it plus two.

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a two plus, it's got a V twelve engine,

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>it's it's got all the making exactly of what makes

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a great Ferrari a great Ferrari.

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 4>It's unexpensed manual, no manual option no, and.

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 3>That's a shame unfortunately.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.839
<v Speaker 2>I wonder why the people at Ferrari put that to bed.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, wouldn't you love to have a gated shifter,

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>even in a new Ferrari.

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, I think you would.

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>And what I hear from analysts who talk about the

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>collecting market is the reason why the FF is growing

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>in popularity is because it's easy to drive, and a

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of the younger buyers that don't want to mess

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>around with gated shifters that you know, there's more to break,

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>there's more to go wrong. You know, it's not as

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>fun and easy and care free to drive in traffic.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's actually what I hear is that's working in

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>its advantage in terms of attracting.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>So the FF is easier to drive. I can't imagine

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>a Ferrari Dno. Is that difficult to drive because I

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>think of it as a smaller car. I mean it

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 2>was a smaller car.

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, absolutely, This was the V six Ferrari that actually

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>wasn't It didn't get a lot of respect back in

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the day. Of course, it was famously named after Enzo's

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>son who died, and it didn't get respect. It was

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>like kind of seen as not a real ferrari. But

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>this is another example of dinos are going to be

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot less expensive than the two fifty racing ferraris

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>from back in the sixties and fifties, so it's another opportunity. Yeah,

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.239
<v Speaker 1>they're kind of expensive now, but they probably will still

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>continue to gain value.

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>So an ff, I mean I've been looking, so I

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 2>know that you can get into them for less than

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>one hundred thousand, but it's going to be around that

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 2>mark for a good one, right, a little mileage well

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.679
<v Speaker 2>taken care of, maybe a one owner vehicle. In terms

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 2>of the Dino, what kind of price are you talking

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.920
<v Speaker 2>about because it's from the from the seventies, right, So

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to probably find a one owner vehicle

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>and I can't. They're not going to be a million dollars,

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>but they still are probably going to be one hundred grand.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 3>I think they're closer to a half million dollars.

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking right now on Haggarty Won in good condition

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>is four hundred and seventy thousand.

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:20.239
<v Speaker 3>That's the average price.

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>So we're still this is all still very rare air. Yes,

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, a half again, like we're not talking about

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>cheap buys. We're talking about buys that will probably still

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>gain a little bit in value. So if you invest

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a half a million year, you might make a little

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>bit on that, But there are a lot of cheaper

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>things that if you have an open mind. Now I

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 1>know we want to talk about Portia.

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't really think.

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>That, you know, by the way, just I'll interject that

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I think the dino I'm looking at the picture in

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 2>your story kind of looks like a nine oh four

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 2>a little bit.

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 4>Do you get that vibe?

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Totally yeah, And I think it looks awesome.

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I've always thought they looked really and the great thing

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>about the dino, for whatever reason, they seem to have

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>come in really interesting colors. People were a lot freer

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.919
<v Speaker 1>in specking them than you know, with other like a Daytona.

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean you just see red, red, red, red red

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>for Ferrari. But with the Dino, I feel like you

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>really see cool oranges and greens and yellows and blues,

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>and so I like that.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's it's actually more interesting in a.

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Way, still impossible for most people to afford even consider.

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>And it's so sad because I remember I used to

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 2>I totally crushed on the Magnum Ferrari. I think it

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 2>was a eight that he had came three eight or

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>three twenty eight. But I remember when those were going

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 2>for twenty five or thirty grand, and I seriously thought

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 2>about getting one. I remember when a Kuntash was going

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 2>for twenty five or thirty grand. Nobody wanted them.

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, go ahead.

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>And now they're impossible to afford, even even like an

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>E thirty nine M five, which is like, you know,

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 2>an internet car lover's car is growing in value so much,

0:06:58.120 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>even like a.

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 3>A nine to thirty turbo. Those were twenty grand cars.

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 4>Well that's a Steve McQueen car, that's but you.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Know, fifteen years ago you could get those for twenty grand.

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I know somebody who got quite a few of them

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>for twenty grand back in the day. And now they're

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, three hundred thousand dollars.

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I actually saw yesterday on Auto trader A I think

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>it was a early two thousands Cayman R that was

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>one hundred thousand dollars. I mean, I know it's the

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 2>R model and they didn't make a thousand of them,

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 2>but still it's insane the prices.

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 4>What is there that we can Okay.

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk let's talk a little more down to reality.

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about the Ford Thunderbird.

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I know you like your Detroit cars, so this is,

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, from the mid sixties, and what I'm hearing

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>is the Lincoln Continentals have become so popular, they got

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>really expensive, and they've kind of priced.

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Out themselves elves.

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>So now if people were interested in the Continental but

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>couldn't really afford it, now maybe you should look at

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a Thunderbird because it's going to be a lot more affordable.

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 1>You can get one for like maybe forty thousand bucks,

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>and they're kind of from the same era. And the

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>big theme here is be interested in cars that deliver

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>unique experiences that's going to really serve you well, Like

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>first you should generally just really like the car for yourself,

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and then second, look for something that's super unique and

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>from a particular point in time, and the Thunderbird really

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>accomplishes that.

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, not everybody loves any anymore.

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 2>By the way, in terms of the Lincoln Continental, I

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>bet you've mentioned this before, but there's a movie called

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Hit and Run.

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, who's in it, Dak Shepherd, And oh you haven't

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Kristin Bell watched it.

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 4>Did you watch it?

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, it's so so so good.

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I just can't these names for me.

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 3>I do like Silver Linings Playbook is one of my

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 3>all time.

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:05.199
<v Speaker 2>There's a Cadillac CTSV wagon manual wagon that he drives.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 3>There's just not doing anything.

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 2>There's a Corpette Z six, There's a there's a Lincoln

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Continental that Dax Shepherd in the movie like he and

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 2>his dad restored it. It's a very good car movie,

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's a great movie. So I just

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 2>but what I'm what I'm noticing is you're the thunderbird, right.

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 4>It's the one that you don't want. You want the Continental.

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 4>If I look at the bmw.

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 2>M three, I want the forty six three. I don't

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 2>want the E ninety two.

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I want the ninety two. Look it's gonna come up.

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>This is this is the smart man's bye. You gotta

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>just buy it and hold it and wait that like

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>imagine the Dino that you almost bought but you didn't.

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>This the the E ninety two in particular, you can

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>get one for like fifty thousand. Now the rest of

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the BMWM three markt is gone up. You know, double

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>digit percentages. This is the one, this is the smart one.

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know for me. The at this point, the

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.719
<v Speaker 2>kidneys looked too tiny, you.

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Know, Oh, is that what that is? I was going

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 3>to say, what do you like about it?

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.679
<v Speaker 2>Because now I've gotten used to the ugly, gigantic kidneys

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 2>that I think they're too small, and the whole front

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.839
<v Speaker 2>end looks like someone pinched to it.

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>It's just like women's bodies. You know, I'm not going there,

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I will go there. It's like, this reminds me of

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>heroin Chic when everyone said Kate Moss was too small

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>because she came up the supermodels were these like voluptuous women,

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and then we go down to Kate Moss and now

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>we're back in the Kardashian era. It's all relative, you know,

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it's all like, whatever is the trend.

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 4>Is Let's say hemlines, Let's say hemlines.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.079
<v Speaker 3>Who has a heavy.

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's all right, let's talk about the Porsche that

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>you drove, because I also want to get into Porschas

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.839
<v Speaker 2>that are still possible to buy for regular people.

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 4>But the one you drove looked awesome.

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>I saw your pictures on Instagram and they tore out

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 2>obviously the interior and they made it into it's a

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 2>race like an off road race vehicle.

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Right, yes, yes, So I have to be really careful

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>because I cannot give driving impressions of this vehicle until

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.079
<v Speaker 1>next Tuesday, and that is when our actual coverage will

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>come out, so look forward to that.

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 4>But just what is it?

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the car, the car itself.

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Is named Edith, and it's based on a nine to

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>eleven and nine to nine to two Kara four s

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that Porsche basically Frankenstein into a rock crawler.

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 3>This is not a nine to eleven de car.

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 1>This is not some Safari Baja style nine to eleven

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that goes fast over sand. This is a rock crawler

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.319
<v Speaker 1>max speed sixty miles an hour, seven speed manual. And

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>you can barely even move forward in first gear. I

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>mean you could really you can really start the car

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>in second gear and be fine. So this is this

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>is about going slow over very very very rough, uneven terrain.

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is the car that they claim the world

0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>record for the highest altitude cross by a vehicle. This

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 1>wasn't on a mountain in Chili. Now that record has

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>not been certified by Guinness. Their Porsche is working to

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>have it sort of certified. It's unclear to me why

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 1>they didn't do that preemptively. Yeah, that will be discussed

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>in further detail in my piece, but they're gonna call

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it a world record now. And the car itself looks

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>so cool.

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 4>It does look awesome.

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's made for like maximum articulation exactly, you know,

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>pulling power exactly.

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 1>And they even pulled some of the actual components from

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the nine to nineteen that they had developed back in

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the day for that race car and actually never used.

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>So they're pulling old stuff to build this build on

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>top of this nine nine to two career. For us,

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a very cool idea. They're not selling them, they're

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>not making anymore. It's a one of one thing that

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>they just wanted to do to get the record. And yeah,

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I all right, so say much.

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, no, you do not to say much more about it,

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>but I will say when I looked at your instat

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Grand Posts, you know, I always complain about the fact

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 2>that the the car is so expensive and unattainable, even

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 2>though it's like that would be the perfect commuting Porsche

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 2>for many people who live in cities like this.

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and I'm sure like that.

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.599
<v Speaker 2>And I looked at your pictures and thought, oh, you

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 2>just safari your own like Matt Farra is the first

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 2>one that I saw when he did that to his

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you see a lot of people doing that or yes?

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Is that a trend that has stuck with us or

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 2>was it just a few people.

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 1>In the well, it's it's a huge It's a huge trend,

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>especially in California. I mean the to Baja like a

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Baja Bug or a Baja nine to eleven is not

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>unusual at all. There's a guy out here named TJ.

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Russell who is building basically Baja style nine to elevens

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that can can go fast like the Dakar but can

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>also rock crawl. Lee Tuttle is another one. So there

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>are companies that will do it for you. Basically, you

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>give them the car and then they will speck it

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>for you and make it really capable. And yeah, I

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>mean more people should do it. That's a great thing

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>about Porsches. The components are so interchangeable. You can chop

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>them up and move things around and it's kind of

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>all the same car.

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 2>But the problem is now, like if I want to

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 2>buy a nine to eleven and take it to tuttle.

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 4>I have to be, like, you know, a rock star

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 4>or a pro wrestler.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 3>I think the wait list is a several years on them.

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 2>But even to get like, can you still get an

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 2>old eighties Carrera? Everyone talks about the G fifty They

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 2>really want that transmission? Or can you still get like

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>a nine to sixty four in good shape for less

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 2>than you know, eighty ninety thousand dollars.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>No, I think those days are really over, and I

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>do think you know again, when I spoke with I

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>spoke with analysts from K five hundred, which is a

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>great data firm based in Europe, among Haggardy Classic car

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>all of those guys are saying, look, the nine to

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>six form in particular probably will gain a little bit

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>more value, and the nine nine toy three there's some

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>room to grow. But already both of those are over

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand dollars models, and those are like the

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>cheapest you could find, like the days of the turbos

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>being twenty thousand dollars or I mean.

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Shoot, you used to be able to go at to.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Pomona, swap meat out here in California and get like

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>a nine to eleven t for seventy five hundred bucks

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 1>on the regular.

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 4>Or a nine to nine to six Turbo that was yeah.

0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know they even had engines in them. These

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>were running driving cars. And so I do really think

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that those days, unfortunately are over.

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 2>So what do you think is the most attainable of

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess a nine nine to seven. People

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>haven't gone crazy for those yet.

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Now here's the thing.

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that if you are willing to buy a

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>high mileage nine to eleven, you can get a great deal.

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>For instance, we at home have a nine to nine

0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>to one Turbos with over one hundred and eight thousand

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>miles on it, and that's the daily I drove. That's

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>what I drove here today. I drive it often. It's

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>got one hundred and eighty thousand miles. We got it

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>for pennies on the dollar, and that used to be

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the top of the line. It's at twenty fourteen. It

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>was the top of the line.

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Of course. Yeah.

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 2>So I one time I spoke with Wolfgang Porsche and

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I asked him which one he would buy if you

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>could have it?

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 3>Did he say that one?

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 2>He said a Turbos, And I thought it was such

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 2>a boring answer, but no, I get it.

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I if I was going to have a new nine

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to eleven right now, i'd have the nine to nine

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>two turbos, and the Daily right now is a nine

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to nine one.

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>So I think the high mileage thing is interesting, and

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't really thought about it. Every time I look

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>for a car, like probably everybody else, I limit the mileage.

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 2>But I saw that guy Paul Kramer has a rally

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>like a nineteen eighty six Carrera car and he apparently

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 2>bought it with two hundred thousand miles on it and

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 2>now has like over three hundred thousand miles on it.

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>So do you see Porschas with like high mileage doing well?

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, are they just reliable cars you if you

0:16:58.760 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>take care of them.

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, there's a friend. I've got a friend out

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>in Florida who drives his three point fifty six cross

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.439
<v Speaker 1>country and has for years. I need to check back in,

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>but I know he's probably in the two to three

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand miles on his three five six. I don't

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>see why it's a bad thing to me a car

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>with super low miles. I'm like, h hasn't really been

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>tried and tested, has it.

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Paul's a great guy. That green car, I think that's

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 3>the one you're talking about that.

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 4>He's got the Turtle LaTortuga exactly.

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 1>He drives it everywhere and I think I'm actually going

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to see him on Saturday. He's got a little a

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>little gathering down at his shop. But to me, high mileage,

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>if the car has been maintained, I think the important

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 1>thing is how many owners has it had? What are

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the maintenance records? Like where did it live? Is this

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>car in Detroit or is it in you know, Santa Barbara.

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Let's move to the world of evs because you know,

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 2>we've been talking about this a bunch, but I think

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 2>dark clouds have really moved in here. There was massive

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 2>growth in twenty twenty two annual EV sales in the

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.919
<v Speaker 2>US crew sixty percent. Last year they only grew forty

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.360
<v Speaker 2>seven percent. But in the fourth quarter of last year,

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 2>EV sales only grew one point three percent, and analysts

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 2>at UBS expect growth this year to only be eleven percent.

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 2>So they're still growing EV sales, you know, in the

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 2>US and globally, but the growth has slowed down. Drastically,

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 2>and that's because I think all the rich people have

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 2>bought them, you know, as a third car or an

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 2>eco warrior, God bless them, have bought them to do

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:48.040
<v Speaker 2>their part. But everybody else thinks they're too expensive and

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.680
<v Speaker 2>you can't find a place to charge them, and they're

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:50.400
<v Speaker 2>just not convenient.

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 1>It's really interesting to see, you know, you sent me

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of these great reporting that Bloomberg reporters have

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.640
<v Speaker 1>done on this topic, and it's kind of unbelievable how

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>there's just a hard component of American consumers that are like, no,

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>we were not considering evs.

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 3>We don't want them.

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the reports you sent me, Matt

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>said about half of Americans just say flat out not

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 1>interested in evs.

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, and that's that's new.

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I thought about getting an EV for my wife. I mean,

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.880
<v Speaker 2>we have for our family because we want to offset

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the carbon footprint that my challenger creates. And there are incentives,

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>mind you. You know, the government has taken it upon

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 2>themselves to take money from taxpayers from all of us

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and try and subsidize this. Not just the US government, right,

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 2>governments around the world are using tax payer money to

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 2>try and subsidize the EV industry, so you want to

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 2>do it. I look at BMW, for example, has the IX,

0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 2>which is ugly but cool. Yeah, but it's also expensive, right,

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 2>It's eighty ninety thousand dollars to start. The X five,

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.679
<v Speaker 2>the gas version tried and true starts at less than

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 2>seventy thousand dollars. However, if you lease it from BMW,

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.440
<v Speaker 2>you can lease the IX for far cheaper six hundred

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and ninety nine dollars a month, whereas an X five

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 2>lease is over nine hundred dollars a month. So there

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 2>are ways to get into them for less, which makes

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 2>me think, Okay, maybe I should. I can do my

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>part for the earth, and I'm gonna save money. But

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.280
<v Speaker 2>the problem is all the electrify America places around me

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>are broken or are are full. I would have to

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.439
<v Speaker 2>install extra equipment at my house and give up some

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 2>garage space. I don't want to do that. And then

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Consumer Reports recently took a survey and found that evs

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:44.959
<v Speaker 2>have eighty percent more problems than ICEE E cars.

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 1>What that seems wild because evs have far fewer components.

0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 4>That's exactly what I thought.

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:53.879
<v Speaker 3>So that how does that even?

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:54.479
<v Speaker 1>So?

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 2>The problem is all down to the battery and the

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 2>ability to take a charge. That's what can Sumer reports

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 2>your cell phone. It's yes, and that's the most reported

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 2>problem for battery electric vehicles that even if you pull

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 2>up to you know, your super charger or whatever, the

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>battery in your car or something in between the charger

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and your battery isn't working well enough to charge you up.

0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 2>And if you had a problem with your car where

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't put gas in it for some reason, yeah, yeah,

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:23.199
<v Speaker 2>that would be no bueno.

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, that's that honestly, is a terrifying scenario for me.

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's definitely even on press cars. I get so

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 1>we joke about it at home. I get so anxious

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 1>about like if the tank shows tank quote unquote shows

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.199
<v Speaker 1>a quarter or less of range, I won't drive the

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 1>car because I don't believe that it's a mile to

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 1>mile exact.

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:48.880
<v Speaker 2>You know it is in no, but it's not as

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:50.639
<v Speaker 2>I'll get into a car and it says, oh, you

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 2>have two hundred miles of range. No, I put the

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 2>pedal down, I get on the you know, sprain Brook,

0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 2>and then all of a sudden it says, wait, you

0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:58.160
<v Speaker 2>have one hundred and twenty.

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know that is honest terrifying.

0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing is, you know, I'll take cars

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>up Angeley's Crest up here a highway too, and when

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.919
<v Speaker 1>you're going uphill, clearly you use a lot more battery,

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're pushing it a bit. And yes, I

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.399
<v Speaker 1>know in my head that when I come down the

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>breaks will regenerate some power.

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 3>I know that logically, But.

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>When I'm driving up the hill and I see I

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 1>can literally just watch range dwindle in front of my eyes,

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it's terrifying.

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:27.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I don't like it.

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 2>No, I think that range anxiety that you're talking about,

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 2>the fact that the charging network is terribly poor, by

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 2>the way, I saw in a story, because the government

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:43.120
<v Speaker 2>is now going to give even more money I think

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:47.399
<v Speaker 2>another seven hundred million dollars to try and improve the

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 2>charging infrastructure.

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 4>But the first federally funded chargers.

0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Just went into it's unbelievable use in Ohio I think

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.640
<v Speaker 2>in November or December in Ohio first, and then New

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 2>York just now like last month, which is crazy.

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Too little, too late, I mean, it's Oh and the

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>other thing that that reminds me of I saw that

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, China, I think is a really big important

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 1>thing to talk about when we're talking about EV's because

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that's basically where everything exciting is happening with EV's. But

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>back to your point about the government, there's still like

0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:23.919
<v Speaker 1>a twenty five or twenty seven percent tariff. I'm bringing

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:27.119
<v Speaker 1>in Chinese electric vehicles into the country, which is why

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.280
<v Speaker 1>we don't have any Yes, and the Chinese vehicles are

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot cheaper, so potentially it would be good, they

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>would be a lot less expensive to buy, but that

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.160
<v Speaker 1>with the tarifs, they're not coming here right well.

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Pollstar two is one that's made in China, and I've

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 2>driven right here.

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting.

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Italy is now going to give another billion dollars in incentives.

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Car makers are asking the UK to give now multiple

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars in tax cuts. I think almost nine billion pounds,

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>so well over ten billion dollars. Governments around the world

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:01.639
<v Speaker 2>continue to throw the money at this industry and really

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>are trying to subsidize the growth of evs, but the

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 2>price remains too high. An average EV costs right now

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 2>is over sixty thousand dollars, which is thirteen thousand dollars

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 2>more than the average cost for an IC car, and

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 2>as a result, they're sitting on dealership lots now for

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:21.440
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fourteen days at the beginning of December,

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.160
<v Speaker 2>compared to seventy one days for the overall auto industry,

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.640
<v Speaker 2>and then obviously much less for less for gas cars,

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 2>and then much less for hybrids which just fly off

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:34.280
<v Speaker 2>the lots. So it's wild. It's a problem, and I

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 2>just wonder, are we now in this lull? Like you know,

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:42.119
<v Speaker 2>after the dot com bubble burst, nobody wanted Amazon stock,

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:44.159
<v Speaker 2>but if you waited ten years, you were a happy camper.

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Is that the case you think for evs? Because we're

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 2>pouring so much money into it. I talked to the

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:53.359
<v Speaker 2>CFO of Volkswagen last week and he said, we're still

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:56.639
<v Speaker 2>going to invest one hundred and thirty billion dollars in

0:24:56.680 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 2>a decade to build EVS and digitalize autumn.

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 4>You just can't turn that around. You know. It's a

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 4>very big ship. So even if they seem.

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Unpopular now, maybe we get through this storm and there

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:11.639
<v Speaker 2>are clear skies ahead.

0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, it seems like, you know, with the amount of

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>money that stands to be lost if they don't take off.

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, just look at how much.

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Governments are are now investing and automakers are investing in

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 1>making them succeed.

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:30.200
<v Speaker 4>You're right.

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean it just seems crazy to just all of

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 3>a sudden say never mind.

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:34.160
<v Speaker 4>And I just can't.

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 1>You can't know you can't. And I don't think this

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>is the quote unquote end of EV's They still they

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 1>there was still growth and EV sales last year. It

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:45.320
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't as much as previous years. But there is

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 1>still incremental growth. So I think we should keep that

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:50.959
<v Speaker 1>in mind. It's not like there next year they're just

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.440
<v Speaker 1>going to disappear way too much at stake.

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, I had a baby six weeks ago,

0:25:57.040 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not in your life.

0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Your wife had a baby, Yes I'm not.

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm not enjoying the sleepless nights and all

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I do is change diapers and she's crying all the time,

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 2>but I can't put her back. Like it's at this

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:09.720
<v Speaker 2>point we're going forward with this child.

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's a genie that I think genie is

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 3>out of the bottle.

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 4>I think it's the same with electric cars.

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I will say that I'm driving the

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 2>F one to fifty lightning right now.

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, what do you think, Well, it's very fast.

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 1>It's unusual that you wouldn't have mentioned it sooner in

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 1>the conversation, because typically you start right off telling me

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 1>about the huge trucks starving of the week. But this,

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>this is, this is like the least excited I've seen

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>you be about a truck.

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I just think it's not for me. Let's say, I'd

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 2>rather have a gas version. I'd much rather have a

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:43.640
<v Speaker 2>big diesel motor in there.

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like you're kind of bored with it.

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:49.960
<v Speaker 2>It's just, yeah, it's like a utility, an appliance, an appliance.

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, sorry, it's like an appliance. It doesn't really

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:58.120
<v Speaker 2>ignite any passion in me. And I'm you know, people

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 2>at my house are a little bit derisive about the

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.199
<v Speaker 2>size of the screen. The screen in the middle reminds

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:04.920
<v Speaker 2>me of have you seen Spaceballs?

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Not for about twenty years, but you.

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Remember dark helmet? Right, they're making fun of Darth Vader,

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:13.040
<v Speaker 2>and he has the biggest talent. It's just a ridiculously

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 2>sized helmet. And that's what the screen and the like.

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.359
<v Speaker 2>They could have made it half the size and I

0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 2>still would have had just as much functionality.

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:20.359
<v Speaker 4>Out of it.

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I just it seems almost a joke. But yeah, it's

0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:26.200
<v Speaker 2>it's fast, it's you know, useful.

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:28.719
<v Speaker 3>Are people nice to you on the road when you're

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 3>driving it?

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, not because of the way I drive.

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 3>No, So you still drive like a real joke.

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's so quick.

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:39.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, coming down here on the West Side Highway,

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm just weaving in and out of traffic.

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because it's so fast.

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:47.959
<v Speaker 2>So there's that, you know, But it's still I'd rather

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:50.600
<v Speaker 2>have I'd much rather have a Super Duty with a

0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:54.160
<v Speaker 2>six point seven liters power stroke. I mean, i'd rather

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 2>have a Raptor, you know. Obviously I'd rather have a Bronco.

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 3>Do you find that the bigger of the truck shorter

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:00.760
<v Speaker 3>the man?

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, I mean I'm six four.

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:06.600
<v Speaker 3>So that's why I asked you're you're an anomaly.

0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean maybe I'm maybe maybe I'm making up for something.

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:12.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, but I just like I didn't say it.

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:13.120
<v Speaker 3>I didn't.

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 4>I like big cars too, you know.

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 2>That's why I look that big Bentley and the se Roles, and.

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 3>I think the Bentley's are going to be popular.

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, they already. By the way, you can get

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 2>into those for twenty grand.

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you heard it, you heard it now? Yeah,

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:28.120
<v Speaker 3>go buy him now?

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 2>All right, So let's uh, let's just we've covered our

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:36.359
<v Speaker 2>three topics. Let's just cast our eyes forward to what's

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 2>coming up. You've got your coverage on the Porsches coming out.

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:39.920
<v Speaker 4>What else have you.

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 3>Got coverage on the Porsches coming out?

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 1>We've got the Yeah, the market look for cars to

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 1>buy in twenty twenty four.

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Next week. Actually, I will.

0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Be in New York in a week, so I'm excited

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>about that, so I'll come see you. And then I'm

0:28:56.840 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 1>going to the Retromobile show in Paris, which I'll bet

0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>there are a couple auctions there.

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 4>So wait, what is different retromobile?

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 3>What is retromobile?

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>This is an annual car show in Paris, and I

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:13.680
<v Speaker 1>haven't been since before COVID, so I'm really curious to go.

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>It's it's just like a beautiful old car show and

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 1>it's typically held inside, which is great because it is February. Yeah,

0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, I'm going to be looking in

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 1>terms of stories. There is an interesting thing heating up

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 1>in Florida in March. I'm going to be reporting about

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 1>how Amelia Island which is the standard car concor then

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 1>will sort of be going up against this new thing

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.920
<v Speaker 1>called Moda Miami that arms Southeby's is putting on so

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 1>we can get into that lab. But that's something that

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.720
<v Speaker 1>else that's also on my horizon.

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:52.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, very cool, I got you. I'm going to

0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>be driving the Jaguar F Pace SVR. I almost forgot

0:29:56.920 --> 0:30:00.200
<v Speaker 2>about Jaguar as a brand entirely. Yeah, I know, but

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:03.680
<v Speaker 2>it'll be interesting to drive that vehicle because I'm sure

0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 2>it'll be great. You know, it's expensive, and when they're expensive,

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 2>they're usually fun. My interest in the brand has been

0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of reignited a little bit in Jag.

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, why is that? I've just heard more and more

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 4>about older Jags like XGS.

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Doing a thing with TWR and a buddy of mine

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 2>bought XJ six That is pretty cool.

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 4>And it was like almost free how much you paid

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 4>for it?

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 2>And speaking of, you know, the potential growth in cars,

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that's a brand a lot of people

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 2>have forgotten about.

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 4>And they had some really cool designs.

0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, they had the coolest designs.

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:42.560
<v Speaker 1>We used to have a couple E types and I

0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 1>would drive that E type back and forth to Sunset Tower,

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and it was kind of awesome because it's so low

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 1>to the ground. The cabin is tiny, and if you've

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 1>ever driven a goal Wing Mercedes, it's basically I have

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:58.760
<v Speaker 1>basically this same feel.

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:01.080
<v Speaker 3>But a lot less expensive. So here's another.

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 1>If you like the going but you can't spend a

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 1>few million dollars, you can get into an E type

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 1>which has sort of the same feel in almost the

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>same body shape. But yeah, I mean the ex the

0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>jags from the like eighties and nineties, they could be

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>cool again, right.

0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I don't know if this is inappropriate,

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 2>but I'm looking at you. I'm thinking about Tawny Katain.

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Remember Tonnyktas she was in like a white Snake video

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 2>on top of a jag and she had the hair.

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 3>I gotta look her up, Tawny Katain.

0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:34.800
