00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,519

00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: She's been fifteen years since he was at Volvo, and

Speaker 1: Volvo John. I guess I could call him Tesla John. Uh.

53
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: You know, he was doing parts for Tesla and I

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: hadn't seen him in about two years. I've known John

55
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: the better part of twenty five great parts man. One

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: of those guys that you know when when he knows

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: the product line, you can ask him tell be doing

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: a timing belt and he can tell you the part

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: numbers off the top of his head, as well as

60
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: all the nuts, bolts, washers, clip pit schmips and all

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: little things that go with it with just just without

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: even looking in the catalog. And I said, so, it's

63
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: life like a Tesla John, And he said, well, I'm

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: not there anymore. And he said, um, you know, he says,

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: I've been out of there about a year. Uh, and

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: he said, I've got to tell you. He said, um,

67
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think Tesla is a little bit of

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: a magician. And I thought he was saying, you know,

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: in a positive sense. And by the ways, in my

70
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: first yellow note ran to the day, so I just

71
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: peeled it off the window. Um, because when I heard

72
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: this story, I wrote here that Tesla is a magician

73
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: and he's making the cars up here out of an

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: air And I heard that part and I went, oh,

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: this this probably doesn't sound good. And I said, what

76
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: do you mean and he said, well, he said, you know,

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: the biggest problem is he goes that they're they're starting

78
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: to get cars delivered to the dealership, and they were

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: at the time that they're getting cars delivered to the dealership,

80
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: and he said one of the classic problems is they

81
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: don't work coming off the truck, or they don't work

82
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: coming off the transport, and that they were starting to

83
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: What made him leave was he couldn't keep up with

84
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: the demand for parts because the problem became that they

85
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: would get cars with parts in the trunk area or

86
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: in the in the interior area, and they were told

87
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: finished building the car. You know, and he said, so,

88
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: this is why I think he's a magician. It's you know,

89
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: this is Bolvo John's interpretation that Tesla is making cars

90
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: appear out of thin air. He said, wow. Now I

91
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't think that's a true story. Not that I think

92
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: John lies, but it got me thinking about the lady

93
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: in the red Tesla. I can't think her name, and

94
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm not really supposed to use her name someone I

95
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: pretend I forgot, which I kind of did. But she's

96
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: from South Jersey somewhere, and I saw at a Christmas

97
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: party over the holidays, and um, we got the talking

98
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: and she's telling me all about you know, people find out.

99
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: You know, I try to shut up when other parties

100
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: believe it or not. I can't go spats where I'm quiet.

101
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: See I just did it, and you know, she started

102
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: telling me about her red Tesla. She found out. You know,

103
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm in the car and I don't know. Somebody said

104
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: something about radio, and the conversation kind of takes off

105
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: from there. Um, so she brought a Tesla three, the

106
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: lady with the red Testla. She brought a red Tesla three.

107
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: And I said, wow, I said, you know, I hear

108
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: good things about that, you know, thirty five thousand dollar cars.

109
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: She just kind of gave me that, you know, double down.

110
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Look like what you're talking about Willis and uh, you

111
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: know did the Well let me tell you, RONI. She

112
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: said that the thirty five thousand dollar Tesla became sixty

113
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: two dollars. And I, you know, and now I'm thinking

114
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: about when Bobo John's talking to me about Tesla, Tesla John,

115
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: whatever he is, Um, I'm thinking, like, you know, this

116
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: is sort of what I'm hearing from the consumer. On

117
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: the other side, she said that her thirty five thousand

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: dollar Tesla became sixty two dollars, and of course ron

119
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: said why and she said, well, first of all, you

120
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: have to get the long distance battery. She goes, unless

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: you live three miles from everywhere you're gonna go, she goes,

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: you need the long distance battery to get anywhere, so

123
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: you don't have to charge the battery every couple of hours.

124
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: So that's an issue. Okay, that was nine thousand dollars. Yeah.

125
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Then she said, unless you like sitting on a on

126
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: a picnic bench when you're driving, all right, and you

127
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: know you enjoy cranking down windows and not having power

128
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: door locks and sitting in something you know as spartan

129
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: as a garbage can. Her words, not mine. She said,

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: you want to buy the interior package that was so

131
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: then she needed better than seats because she didn't like

132
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: the interior of material it was made out of. She said,

133
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: it was something like you didn't need seatbelts because you're

134
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: you would stick to the seat regardless. So she went

135
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: for the more comfortable cloth. And then she had to

136
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: put wheels on the car. She figured, I've been too

137
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: it this deep. You know what's the difference? Will put

138
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: nicer wheels in the car? Bucks? She said, before I

139
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: knew it, I spent sixty two dollars on my thirty

140
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: five thousand dollar Tesla. Here's the part that amazed me.

141
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: And I said, but how is the car? She goes, Oh,

142
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: I love it, she was, it's just too much money. Well,

143
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: but then why don't it? Oh, because it's a tesla.

144
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: You know, there's an old comboy. What's that old vaudeville

145
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: joke about um? You know where they started asking him

146
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: the one question. You know, it's kind of like Curly

147
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: in the Three Stooges, Right, take off your hat and

148
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: he puts it on the umbrella and you know, put

149
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: your hand on the Bible, so it takes the puts

150
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: the umbrella down and puts the hat back on his head.

151
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: And he's right. Remember that skit where they go through

152
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: the you know, it's kind of like, what do you

153
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: like the Tesla? Oh, because it's a Tesla? How much

154
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: was it? It It was too much money. I don't like that. Well,

155
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: why did you buy the car? Because it's the Tesla?

156
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's it doesn't make any sense. Now, in

157
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: all fairness, she likes the car, she said, you know,

158
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: she feels good. She's you know, not using any fossil fuel. It's,

159
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: of course, than me trying to be logical about it.

160
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: And I apologize because I'm trying to make sense. I said,

161
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: but what about the stories that go that you know,

162
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: you're charging the car with electricity? Yeah, but that just

163
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: comes out of the wall. Yeah, but it has to

164
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: come from somewhere, and you know it takes something to

165
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: produce that electricity. And yes, she goes, but you know,

166
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: with l e ED light bulbs. Somehow this became a

167
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: conversation about l D light bulbs and I'm just going around.

168
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm starting to bang my head against the wall.

169
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: She said, you know, since there's all these l D

170
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: light bulbs and houses anymore, the power grid really has

171
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: no load on it, so we have the ability to

172
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: produce all its electricity and it's really not that bad

173
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: for the environment. Uh huh. So we created LED light bulbs,

174
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I said, to take the load off the power grid.

175
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: And now Test has come out with a car that

176
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: puts more demand on it. And I think, you know,

177
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure we could have an argument here between myself

178
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: and the listeners. Somebody's gonna send me an email and

179
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: tells tell me that I'm an idiot, but you know,

180
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: it's it's My understanding is that it takes fossil fuel

181
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: or coal or something to run the power plant to

182
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: make the electricity to power the Tesla. So we're not

183
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: to use gasoline. I you know, I mean, I just

184
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: I But anyway, that's my test list to my two

185
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: tests stories. Today I'm really starting to question I think

186
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: Bolvo John is right. I think Tesla is a magician.

187
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: I think the red Tesla lady is happy. You know,

188
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: I think at eighty two, when you buy a Tesla,

189
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: I think you're happy that you bought a Tesla and

190
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: you don't really want to mention whether it was good

191
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: or bad. It's you know, it's kind of like the

192
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: morning after you wake up and go I'm married. Oh,

193
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: you know, it's okay, it'll be all right. I'll get

194
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: by for a couple of years. Um. I can think

195
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: of people that go through that. Um. You know, up

196
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: where my daughter lives in Grafton Masks, there's a high

197
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: end mall. They've got a Testla store. Yeah, we walked

198
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: in one day, nice gorgeous car. I mean, the interior

199
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: was incredible. I mean the instrumentation was fantastic, real flashy.

200
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: A hundred and forty seven thousand dollars run. That's a

201
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: small house. Yeah, Tom, I you know, I don't get it. Um,

202
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: I I just don't get it. The way things are

203
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: made today, there's no logic. All right. Uh, I'll tell

204
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: you the story this way about logic real quick. I'm

205
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: changing the bathtub in the house, right, And I know

206
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with cars, but I always

207
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: try to look at the logic of how things are

208
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: created and made. And when you look at cars, right,

209
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: we can't even get you know, So you start talking

210
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: about bathtubs. You say, cars are too complicated, we can't

211
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: design those, right, So have you looked at bathtubs lately?

212
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: If you want a free standing bathtub? I looked at it,

213
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: and I told the lady, I said, did they take

214
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: the egg from Work and Mindy and cut the thing

215
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: in half? Because that's what it kind of looks like.

216
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: It looks like an egg from Robin Williams and Work

217
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: and Mindy. Right, she said, oh no, this is the

218
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: latest stile. I sat down in the bathtub. First of all,

219
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: I smacked my knee getting over the edge, all right,

220
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean to the point of almost tears. I think

221
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: I think there's blood underneath my pants. I can feel it,

222
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: like I have to look and you know, but you

223
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: sit down on the tub. Now there's no water in

224
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: the tub, so you lean back. The tub just about

225
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: falls over sideways, okay, And she goes, well, there's no

226
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: water in it. Well, would you tell me to get

227
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: in the tub for well, I wanted to see how

228
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: would fit. But you should, you know, Like, I'm surprised

229
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: that the government doesn't have warnings. If you drive this

230
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: bathtub without water, you could tilt over. You could see

231
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: the a suit coming right, I said, but whatever happened

232
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: to a bathtub? Oh we don't, she said, I know

233
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: what you want. She goes, but we don't sell any

234
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: of those. Ill do you happen? And she goes, yeah.

235
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: She takes me into the storeroom. Right, good old solid

236
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: cast iron, you know, weighs more than a Volkswagen, which

237
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: isn't hard these days. And you know, it's like a bathtub.

238
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: It's a real bathtub. You sitting the thing, it goes

239
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: down below your boobs, you're up to your neck and water.

240
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: It's like that's a bathtub. She goes, you have but

241
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: nobody ever blinds this. I go, why not? She goes, well,

242
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: it's you know, first of all, she says, it's too cheap.

243
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: I think people are looking to spend money on bathtubs.

244
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: I looked at eight thousand dollar bathtubs today, which just

245
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what eight thousand dollar bathtubs? I didn't buy anything, Tom,

246
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: thank god. I looked at eight doll dollar bathtubs, which

247
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, you know, and they're made

248
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: out of acrylic, all right, um, And I kind of

249
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: like the one that had the hair bubbles, you know,

250
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: would blow air bubbles at you. That was kind of neat.

251
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: But you know, you can't buy a bathtub with common sense.

252
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: You can't buy a tesla with common sense, you know?

253
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: Is it any wonder we're in the mess that we're

254
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: in with with society and technology? Eight five five zero

255
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: nine zero zero, run on any of the car doctor.

256
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Let's pull over and take the pause while the buttons

257
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: still work. We'll be back right after this. He drives

258
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: that way. But when it comes to fixing cars, Ron

259
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: has card advice done right? Eight five five five zero

260
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero. Here's Rod. Hey, let's get on

261
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: over and talk to John and Wisconsin and one Chevy Suburban. John,

262
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, sir. How can I help John? Yo? John,

263
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: we're missing a button. This is the part where I

264
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: kind of fill in the air gap, folks, because you know,

265
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: dead air on radio is never a good thing. As

266
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: long as their sound it always works. Do we want

267
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: to uh try and get over the line too? Or

268
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: is John there? Let's try it again technology, Let's go

269
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: to Bob. Bob you're there, yes, right, Well, I think

270
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: I see things are coming in clearer and delaware than

271
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: they are, and with consin we'll have to work on that.

272
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: To make a few comments on the Tesla, I think

273
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: the thing is great car. I think he lines a

274
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: great guy. He's probably ten years ahead of his time,

275
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: probably ten years behind GM when they had the sp one.

276
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a situation where we got to use

277
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: all the technology we have. And the thing with Tesla,

278
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: especially with a Model three over the summer, he was

279
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: under tremendous pressure all summer long to get the numbers up.

280
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: So they were producing the car, and I think in

281
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: the end they put a model line in a tent,

282
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: so they actually had an assembly line and a tent

283
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: in the parking lot where they were assembling the cars

284
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: by hands. Now, the fact that they threw half the

285
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: parts in the trunk we're just merely to get the

286
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 1: cars delivered. Was just to get the numbers out, you know.

287
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't know numbers wise, whether that's a

288
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: completed car or not. And it's always cheaper to build

289
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: the car at the car dealership under the warranty program

290
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: because they pay a lot us to the technicians than

291
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: they pay for assembly line. Volkswagen has been doing that

292
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: for years, you think, so, Oh, I know, I worked

293
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: for Volkswagen for a number of years as a technician,

294
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: and I can tell you that the cars, especially the

295
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: stuff that came out in Latin America, the Volkswagen Fox half,

296
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: that car came in in the trunk, the seats didn't match.

297
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the thing was a mess, but had to

298
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: be rebuilt at the dealership before you could deliver it.

299
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: But you don't think that the assembly line where they're

300
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: doing mass production and they can turn out a higher

301
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: volume cost per unit, is cheaper to have, you know,

302
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: everybody on the line assemble that car versus you know,

303
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: one technician in the bay work on the car for

304
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: three days. Well, the way he built that out in

305
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: the parking lot in the desert of California, it's all robotic,

306
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: and that's where they ran into all kinds of problems

307
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: between the robotics and the humans. When he got into

308
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: trouble this summers because he didn't have his production numbers

309
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: up to where he claimed they would be. Being a

310
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: brilliant guy, and he's a he's a very he's very

311
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: smart guy. Now he's he's I'm sure there are people

312
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: that are a lot smarter than he is, but he's

313
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: a very smart guy. He had a lot of money

314
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: from PayPal. He put his PayPal money where his mouth is.

315
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he really did put himself out. You know,

316
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: I think electric power is fantastic. We have a Tesler

317
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: supercharger station here in Louis, Delaware that has maybe eight

318
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: posts on it. I never see more than one or

319
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: two cars there at any given time. Is it a

320
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: load on the power grid? Absolutely? Uh? Is it better

321
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: than burning fossil fuel? Absolutely? You know he wants a

322
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: trade off. I look at the Salem nuclear power plant

323
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: in New Jersey and I see the steam coming off

324
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: the Conning towers. Nuclear power is a problem unto itself.

325
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: Outside of the long term pollution from the spent rods,

326
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: It's not the same as the burnt pole in the air.

327
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: So I mean it's it's all trade off. Now, well,

328
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: I agree, I think I think it's a tradeoff. I

329
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: agree with that statement. Um and again, if you notice

330
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: this morning, I only comment did on this was this

331
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: person's opinion. This was that person's opinion. Have I have

332
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: I ever sat in a Tesla once? Have I ever

333
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: driven one? No? Have I ever tried to work on one? No?

334
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: But I go by what I read, all right, you know,

335
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: it's I go by what I read, I go by

336
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: what I hear. Uh, the truth be told. The last

337
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: time I really looked into this, my understanding, walking away

338
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: from the article I read at the time about a

339
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: year ago, was that it costs more to produce the

340
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: electricity and more effort of fossil fuel expulsion into the

341
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: environment than the internal combustion engine the electric carperet and not.

342
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: And that's not just and that way. But that's not

343
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: just Tesla, that's all of them, and diesels to forty

344
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:49,239
Speaker 1: two well, you know, I mean so yeah, those numbers absolutely,

345
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: but you know they're grossly under inflated numbers. I mean,

346
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: you've got royal farms battling against Wawa here, but that's uh.

347
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, the cost of fuel is ridicut helously inexpensive

348
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: right now. Now it must be subsidized. Where do I

349
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: think Tesla is taking us? Do I think Tesla is

350
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: as bad as every he makes everybody makes him out

351
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: to be. Um? No, I think he's a businessman. I

352
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: also think that I still think part of the bad

353
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: rap Tesla is getting is partly in fact, because I

354
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: can't believe he's making GM Ford, Chrysler Toyota, Honda, et

355
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: cetera happy. You know, this is like Tucker in the

356
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: late forties. You know, this is the guy that's coming

357
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: out with with the with the the you know, the

358
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: red and the next revolution. And I know he's not

359
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: making big oil happy, all right, right, but they're bailing

360
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: on the Ford uh Electric, and they're bailing on GM,

361
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: bailed on the Vault. I mean, it's so And they

362
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: did that to the Saturn's I mean, and it wasn't

363
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: enough to just let the Saturn go. They had to

364
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: bring them all back and crush him again. They lose unbelievable.

365
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: Where where I think Tesla is really trying hard and

366
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: working hard, and I admire him for this is he's

367
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: trying to create the revolution ouan that will lead to

368
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: the next change, and nobody's giving them and and and

369
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: and I believe that, I really do. You know, at

370
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we've all got to work

371
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: together and move forward, because you know, every time I

372
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: look at those photos from space, this is the only

373
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: blue marble left in the universe and the this is

374
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: the only place where life as we know it exists,

375
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: and that we've got to take care of it. While

376
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: we're here, and while it's still here, Bob, I appreciate

377
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: the call in the conversation very much. I'm running nating

378
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: in the car Doctor. I'll be back right after this

379
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: welcome backing of the car Doctor, you know, to continue

380
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: the comment. And I love the call from Bob and

381
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Dell where I love to hear your thoughts about Tesla,

382
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: and it's it's a great open exchange of ideas. You know,

383
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: the problem is we love to knock what we don't understand,

384
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: and we love to knock anything different. Maybe I'm guilty

385
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: of it at times too. I guess I could say

386
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm human and it happens, and it's but you know,

387
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: you gotta look at where Tesla is taking us. And

388
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: I've spoken pro end anti Tesla. I get it. I've

389
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: seen some things that make me wonder. And if I

390
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: see the thing with a lot of car companies that

391
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: make me wonder, you gotta you gotta admit this though.

392
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: Right where's Tesla taking us. He's taking us off the planet.

393
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's taking us to the point that when

394
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: we go to the when we go to the stars,

395
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: and we will go to the stars, we will go

396
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: to other planets maybe not in my lifetime, but we will.

397
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: He's laying the groundwork for that vehicle, that electric vehicle

398
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: that will go to Mars, you know, one of the things.

399
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: And I love this movie. How many people have seen

400
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: The Martian? Right? Remember The Martian with uh, what's his name? Um,

401
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: Matt Damon, Right, Matt Damon. That movie is so real.

402
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: I looked it up. Actually, I looked. I'm like into

403
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: this now. I googled The Martian and you know, it's

404
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: it's it's supposed to be set in the early twenty thirties,

405
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: so it's about fifteen years from now, give take right.

406
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: And the neat thing about that movie is you look

407
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: at the vehicles in it, the rover, I mean, it's

408
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: all that could be in Tesla's library. Of course, if

409
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: you really want to get to the absurd and the ridiculous,

410
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: then you hear the conversations that Tesla is really from

411
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: outer space and that's why he's doing this. He's part

412
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: of that contingency that landed at Roswell and forty eight

413
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: to bring new tech. But we won't talk about that

414
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: here because I'll find myself on overnights with with what's

415
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: his name? Art anyway, let's go over and talk to

416
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: John from Wisconsin, who I understands back the technology. The

417
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: sound waves are starting to work again. Oh one Chevy suburban. John,

418
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: what's going on here? Bibe? How can I help? Well?

419
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: I had a transmission rebuilt in June. Um. I took

420
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: it out of the truck myself and took it to

421
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: the transmission shop and they rebuilt it and gave me

422
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: a year warranty, and it made it about five months

423
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: and thirty miles and I had lost for driving it.

424
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: And by the time I got pulled over to a

425
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: safe spot, Um, he was making a loud, grinding noise.

426
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: I had no forward nor reverse or anything. So I

427
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: took it out again and I drained when I pulled

428
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: the lines off, I know it. It's usually that's kind

429
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: of the big mess of the whole deal. And there

430
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: was no fluid came out of the lines. So I

431
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: took it up to the shop and they gave me

432
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: a call back a day later, and they told me

433
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: my radiator was bad, that it wasn't letting fluid through,

434
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: and it was just kind of the massive melt down

435
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: inside of it. And it's nothing there. They warranty you know,

436
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna give me a good deal on that, which

437
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: I hasn't you know, come to terms with yet. I

438
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: guess I haven't. He hasn't got it done yet. But

439
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: I guess I wonder what your thoughts were on Um,

440
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: you know, he's being able to diagnosis without looking at

441
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: the radiator. How many miles? How many miles around this truck?

442
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: The whole truck has got about hundred and sixty original radiator? Yep,

443
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: when when you know when you say there was no

444
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: fluid coming out of the lines, out of out of

445
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: both lines are just one line of them? You know,

446
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, in all fairness to him, because I

447
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: get where you're going. You know, did the pump failed

448
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: not pushing fluid where it was supposed to? And uh,

449
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: you know this is a hydraulic issue in the trans

450
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: that it it failed that way, that it wouldn't put

451
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: fluid through the cooler. Uh you know, yeah, I get that, honestly.

452
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: I if this is the original radiator at a hundred

453
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: and sixty and this is just my way of thinking,

454
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: all right, at a hundred sixty thousand miles, nineteen eighteen

455
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: years old, how to put a radiator in the truck

456
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: five years ago, you know, just just on principle, all right,

457
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: And and well I've got the radiator out. I do

458
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: a radiator or water pump poses, et cetera. But the

459
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: bigger picture here is coming back to the radiator in

460
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: its present shape. You know, can you push air through it?

461
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you put an arro host

462
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: to it, can you or or a can of trans

463
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: cooler flush? Can you push particulate and matter? And and

464
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I didn't blow it out, and I

465
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: did blow it out into a clean container, and there

466
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: was some you know, quite a few little black specks

467
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: that were you know, uh in the fluid. And then

468
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: it does it. It blows harder from the bottom than

469
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: it does the top. The top it's just not restricted

470
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: at all. If you blow on the bottom and it's

471
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: it's definitely got a little bit of a restriction. And

472
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: I guess that's because this is a side tank cooler, right,

473
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: it's mounted vertically, right yeah, um, And I guess it

474
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: would be more towards the bottom because that's probably where

475
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: all the sentiment and crud settles. So, you know, stupid question,

476
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: I think I already know the answer because I'm sure

477
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: you did it. But when you did the trans the

478
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: first time you flushed, you flushed the cooler, right I did? Yeah?

479
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: So you know, in life, so goes the bumps. Um.

480
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: What kind of a deal has he giving you on

481
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: the trans? I'm thinking of left some half price? It

482
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: was about originally the first time. I guess I'm hoping

483
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: for about five. So so how did you How did

484
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: you pick this trans shop? Is that a curiosity? Um?

485
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: Just kind of word of mouth. It's hard to find

486
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: a trans shop that doesn't want to do the whole

487
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: job themselves now right right? So to his credit, he

488
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, he sort of stuck his neck out and

489
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: now he's gonna get it chopped off. Just looking at

490
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: it from his side, and then I can see it

491
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: from your side. Is it? Is it the trans? Is

492
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: that the failure? Is? Is it? Is it cooler related?

493
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: You know? In the radiator? So let me ask you.

494
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just kind of getting to feel you know,

495
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: what do you do for a living? Uh? John? You know?

496
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: Are you are you a tech that's working out of

497
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: his house or are you retired tech? Or I'm kind

498
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: of retired. I am. It's not a work truck pleasure vehicle.

499
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: What I mean, were you were your mechanic at one

500
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: point is what I'm asking not for paid, all right,

501
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: fixed my own stuff over the years, all right. So,

502
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: and you know what some of the smartest guys I know,

503
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: or the weekend Warriors, and I have a ton of

504
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: respect for you guys. If you were to look at

505
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: this thing from from you know, the perspective of what happened.

506
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: What do you think went wrong with the truck? You're

507
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: on the scene. Do you think it's the cooler? Do

508
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: you think the cooler is working properly? I guess I

509
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: think he's probably right. I guess I wish he would

510
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: have told me it was the Argentine less I replaced

511
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: the radiator. Fair point of never a good thing, right,

512
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: fair point. And you know it's here's that human condition again, right.

513
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: Sometimes we make mistakes. So and you know, sometimes it

514
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: comes back to bite you no matter what you do.

515
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: I've got a Cadillac Deville at the shop right now,

516
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: the nicest little old lady Carr you could ever want

517
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: to see, fifty three thousand miles, you know, sweetheart customer,

518
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: she's getting a little older now. And it's you know,

519
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: I've got to go slow when I plain things. But

520
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: she's okay, and we just overhauled the steering system in December.

521
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: The power steering rack was bad. Particulate went everywhere, you know,

522
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: the fluid was disgusting. So I did you know, she said, listen,

523
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do. I did a pump, I

524
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: did a rack, I did the pressure line, blew everything out,

525
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: all GM parts, GM fluid perfect down the road until Wednesday,

526
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: three weeks later, she comes back and she goes, it's

527
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: making this funny noise again. All right, Um, I put

528
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: up in the air. I looked at it. I said, gee,

529
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: why is the driver's side steering rack boot wrinkled? You know,

530
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of got this like a piece of plastic

531
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: to heat. Looked to it, and I take a little

532
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: pin prick because where all the fluid go that I

533
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: don't see anywhere. I take this little all and I

534
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: just put a little tiny pin prick in the bottom.

535
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna guess and say, about a half a

536
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: pint of fluid came out. Well, I guess the new

537
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: GM Delco steering rack is a total piece of junk.

538
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: Uh So, Tuesday or Monday, whatever day, I'm back. We're

539
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna b new rack in this car again.

540
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: And I guess my point is, sometimes, yes, sometimes we

541
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: should say change the radiator, and sometimes we should say

542
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: put a better, greater part in it, and sometimes we

543
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: should say flush the trans But you know what, sometimes

544
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: sometimes the dog bites you, and sometimes you bite the dog. Sorry, Lucy,

545
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: I got the studio dog in here with me tonight. Um.

546
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: So you know the fact that he did it, and

547
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: you know it worked for six months. I think he did. Okay.

548
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: You know, if it was something related to something he did,

549
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: you would think it would have happened overnight. Of course,

550
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: you would also think that if the cooler was clogged

551
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: at the time of the failure of the first trans,

552
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: it would have happened sooner than six months, right, you know.

553
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: So as much of an inconvenient as it is from

554
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: my first effective, if this were me in the shop,

555
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: I'd be telling you, hey, John, you know what, I'm

556
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: really sorry it happened. All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna

557
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: charge you five bucks. I'm gonna make you happy, I'm

558
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: gonna make you come back. We're gonna have a long

559
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: term relationship. Et cetera, et cetera. All right, I think

560
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: I think he's losing on this. I think you're losing

561
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: on that. It's an automobile. I think that's the risk

562
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: we all take working on cars. Some days you just

563
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: get bit and there's just there's just no right or

564
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: wrong and it just happens. Uh. You know, I'm gonna

565
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: redo a steering rack that I did my job right,

566
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: I put the part in, I did everything, I lined

567
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: it all up, I did everything absolutely perfect, and I

568
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: get to do it. You know, I'm gonna lose three

569
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: hours of time on Monday between the rack and the

570
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: alignment just by walking in the door. Um. You know

571
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: that's the risk we take. Uh you know, Um you know,

572
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: here's the other way to look at it. All right,

573
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: Just to Nichols worth of free advice, is is and

574
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: I say this very gently, is gonna break you? Is it?

575
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: Is it worth the stress? Right? You know what if

576
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: you were to leave Earth tomorrow and you work this

577
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: hard to get where you are in life, and you

578
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: left Earth tomorrow over the stress of the trans man,

579
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: it ain't worth it. You know what? The universe is

580
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: trying to teach you something. Take it for what it

581
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: is and just just trust and you know, let's see

582
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: what happens. Hey, listen, look at it this way. The

583
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: pressure is actually on him. You know why because if

584
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: you put another six months, well because if you put

585
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: a trans in this, if you put it, if you

586
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: if he rebuilds the trans and you put the radiator

587
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: in it and you flush everything and the trans blows

588
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: up in six months, Now, what's he gonna say? Right?

589
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: And to me, to me, that's his image and that's everything.

590
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: And now you'll know, you know, I actually feel bad

591
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: for the guy. He stuck his neck out. And now

592
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: now the pressure is on because if anything anything goes

593
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: wrong with that trans, something uncontrollable, out of his control.

594
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: The pull pin falls out, the servo fails, the spring

595
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: cracks anything, he's in it up to his neck. And

596
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: you know what, he's really got his reputation on the

597
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: line here. So let's hope it works. Let him do it.

598
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: Let him do it. Put a radiator and it's shown

599
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: the old one, and before you put the new one in,

600
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: check the flow on the old cooler, on on the

601
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: cooler and the radiator that's clogged versus the new one.

602
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: And see if there's any difference than if there is.

603
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: You know that the cooler caught it, and see what

604
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: happens and go from there. All right, sir, let me

605
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: know what happens. John, Good luck to you. Welcome by

606
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: by zero zero running eating of the Car Doctor coming

607
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: back right after this, Hey, welcome back in any of

608
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: the car Doctor eight five five zero zero phone number.

609
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: Give us a call. Let's get over Tom and main Tom.

610
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: What can I do for you? Sir? Hey, Uh, my

611
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: story begins back in probably August and September of I

612
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: was having various break issues on a RAM, so I

613
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: brought it to an independent shop and between those two

614
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: months they did all four corners of the truck, pads, rotors, calipers,

615
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: and everything was good for a little while. And the

616
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: guy told me he put ceramic brake pads on it

617
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, build it up to be the

618
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: best thing ever. And I don't know, fifteen thousand miles later,

619
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: I was having problems and just recently had the rears fixed.

620
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: Both rears and the pads were delaminated. So I didn't

621
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: know what you had for insight or maybe any uh

622
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: expertise on ceramic brake pads. Well, you know, I'm gonna say,

623
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't well, I'm gonna say I don't think it's ceramics.

624
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think the ceramics your problem.

625
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: We use ceramics all day long in the shop and

626
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: I absolutely love them. One of the downside of a

627
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: ceramic pad my experience, is that when it's cold, it

628
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: doesn't work as well. But once it warms up, it works,

629
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: it'll it'll give you, I think, superior stopping power and

630
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: most applications over a semi metallic. There's also a durability

631
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: factor where I think ceramics do last longer than the

632
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: semi mets. My first question is where the truck come

633
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: with original equipment, and I'm gonna say ceramic. I'm gonna guess,

634
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: uh And frankly, unless I looked in a catalog or

635
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: he looked in a catalog, I don't know how anybody

636
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: would know the difference between whether or not it was

637
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: a semi metter ceramic on there. I I guess I

638
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: could look at it, but by the point you give

639
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: me a warm break pad, a warm breakpad so warn

640
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: you can't tell what was what, what's crushed, and what's

641
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: not um I think more before we start to cite

642
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: the material to breakpad is made out of. I always

643
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: start to talk about, you know, what kind of steps

644
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: were taken to do the break job properly, and this

645
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: sort of gets into the conversation about people that do

646
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: pad s, laps that just do pads and no rotors

647
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: and and and things like that. Um, I'll tell you what, Tom,

648
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: Sit tight, let me pull over and take the plause.

649
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to rush this. I'll come back and

650
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: we'll finish up with you. Right after this, I'm running

651
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: inning the car. Doctor. Don't go away, Tom, You're still

652
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: there running any in here? How How are you good? Um?

653
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: So picking it up? Dogs ran for them just joining us.

654
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: Ceramic brake pads good or bad? And Tom's brack brakes

655
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: aren't really lasting more than fifteen thousand miles. How are

656
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: the fronts? Tom? By the way, did they last the distance?

657
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: Are they still working? I've since had everything taken off. Unfortunately.

658
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: I went to the dealer and they replaced it. And

659
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: my fronts were acting up before the rears, so I

660
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: didn't have very good luck with the fronts either. So

661
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: what makes you think it's the compound real quick versus

662
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: the guy just used cheap parts. I wasn't necessarily thinking

663
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: it was a compound, but I I do probably think

664
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: it was the quality of part. But I was just

665
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: calling to see your opinion on ceramic break pad because

666
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't have much experience with those. All Right, Um,

667
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: if you're driving anything in the last fifteen years, you've

668
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: been driving ceramics, most likely, uh, you know, and I

669
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: like ceramics. Like I said before, I like ceramics. I

670
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: actually believe let me think about this statement before I

671
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: make it. I believe I've got ceramics on the hot

672
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: rod um and I just know that you know, we're

673
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: not gonna do a hundred eighty miles an hour before

674
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: we get the temperature and let things warm up a

675
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: little bit. Um. But that being said, probably more important

676
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: or just as important as how the break job is

677
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: done in terms of quality of component, pad, rotor, et cetera.

678
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: Is you know, are they loubing the slides? Are they

679
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: are they putting a little uh contact silicon grease or

680
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: whatever magic Google the shops using at the point where

681
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: the pad's right on the slide on the back of

682
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: the pad, so it doesn't vibrate against the piston or

683
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: the caliber bracket. Are they you know, are they putting

684
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: a little silicone around the hub where the rotor sits

685
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: so it's easy on all removal, that kind of thing.

686
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: All those are signs of a good quality, complete break job,

687
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: you know, at and I won't say that would have

688
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: helped you last longer than fifteen thousand miles, but it's

689
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: a sign to the shop I think is doing the

690
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: job right and and trying to do so, uh in

691
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: terms of what they're actually trying to accomplish. You know,

692
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: breaks are one of those things. I can sell you

693
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 1: a six dollar breakpad and tell you it's a hundred bucks.

694
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: And I can sell you an eighty dollar breakpad and

695
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: tell you it's a hundred bucks. You won't know until

696
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: you see how long they last. All else being considered,

697
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: I think this was quality of the part, not necessarily

698
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: the part itself. I'm not anatying the car doctor. The

699
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: mechanics aren't expensive, there priceless
