1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: I guess the burning question everyone wants to know, how

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: is the growth on your dick? Did you get that

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: sorted out? Yes? I have good. Good because there was

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: a rash down there for a while, I said, I

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: said to you, didn't I say, go get a cream

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: for that. You can't just keep walking around with one

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: ball out your shorts. And then undering further inspection, we

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: found out there was a little growth on your cash

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: and prizes. That's how we're starting this. Yeah, this week's

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: out and I'm not editing that out. Have you been well?

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, much better now.

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, don't worry. Beers are on the way.

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope.

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: So, Yeah, we're not too far. It's nearly midday. The

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: wonderful world of cars, haven't we been? It has been

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: very busy. I think the car world is very quickly

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: moving to EV's. I think we're seeing a whole lot

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: of that. It's crazy, isn't it. Did you predict this? No?

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: I think a few years ago when everyone said, oh

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: EV's are coming, Everyone's like eventually, but.

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: Not this fast. Now everyone's talking EV's.

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: We actually had a story that kind of this is

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: the context to it that Ev Council released some sales

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: figures from Tesla.

25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: God, is there an EV council that reminds me of

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: something you'd be on? Leave your bloody eight pocket river shirt.

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: As an engineer, I'd like to say, as part of

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: the EV Council, well speak up, tell me what do

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: you can change?

30
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think i'd be allowed on the EV

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: Council because I sometimes called out bullshit EV stuff and

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: they're like, no, I'm not allowed to say bad things.

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: It's only good things about EV's and I'm like.

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: Well some is pretty shit.

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: So but they released some Tesla sales figures and the

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: claim was that they sold a little over fifteen thousand

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: model threes last.

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: Year, and I was one of them the year before.

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: There we go. So what you know how last week

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you this. You know how

41
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: last week you set the challenge of me test driving

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: a shiny Yes, right, I was tempted to cheat the system.

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: I could have gone Volvo yes, technically yes, but I

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: was tempted to cheat the system, and maybe I could

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: have gone Tesla.

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, my my Tesla is US built. So how

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: do you know that?

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: Because I know where it was built how it wasn't.

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't an Australasian build. No, it directly from really

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: from the US. I would have preferred the Stuttgart build

51
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: of Tesla because they are built.

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: Over there, right Well, No, Berlin.

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: Same Schnitzel, Jesus Christ, Why do you always correct?

54
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: Anyway, So Tesla they claimed the fifteen thousand figure, and

55
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 3: it turns out they accidentally added the year before and

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: last year together, so it wasn't fifteen thousand, it was

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: twelve thousand, which is still a big number. And that

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: meant that just the Model three outsold all of Lexus,

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: all of Scota, all of land Rover, all of Jaguar,

60
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: so just in one model. So I think evs are

61
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: coming fast. But let's see, because I think a lot

62
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: of the sales that came through that Model three with

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: the entry level car, which is fifty nine thousand. At

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: fifty nine thousand, it's actually very cheap and a very

65
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: good deal. They get less and less appealing as they

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: get more expensive, which is where a whole lot of

67
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: them are at the moment. So I think we'll see

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: a proper flood of them once they are cheaper, and

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: we see the thirty thirty five thousand dollars EV. I

70
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: think that's where it will really sort of pick up.

71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, MG are doing an EV for what

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: about forty three.

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: Yep BYD is apparently coming. They keep saying they're coming.

74
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: But you know, one thing we're talking about this off air,

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: the progression and evolution of evs seem to be so quick,

76
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: to the point that if if you buy now in

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years, it's going to look a bit obsolete,

78
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my concern, especially with my Tesla for example,

80
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: what are.

81
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: We up to now? Four minutes in and seven mentions?

82
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: All right?

83
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: My concern is that, yeah, in three or four years time,

84
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: if you have an EV that'll do eight hundred kilometers,

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: who's going to buy my car secondhand that does four

86
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: hundred exactly.

87
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: So that's my warning here.

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: If you're going to go buy an EV and spend

89
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: mega dollars on it, it's going to be, just like

90
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: any new technology, that will be obsolete and probably worth

91
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: not very much very quickly.

92
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: I wonder how they're going to do that. Like you

93
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: look at the Porsche tie Can and you go, what

94
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: is it like say two hundred and thirty k for

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: the turbo. We were talking about a couple of EPs back, right,

96
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: and that has arranged roughly of about four for twenty kilometers. Right.

97
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: So if you were to buy one today, walk that

98
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: out of the showroom in three years time, that car

99
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: is going to look a bit. Really, it's going to

100
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: look a bit hundred kilometers really. I mean theoretically it

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't make too much of a difference with charging stations

102
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: kind of coming up in the exactly a few years.

103
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: But I mean they're starting to release concepts of you know,

104
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: that Mercedes that was one thousand kilometers or something on

105
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: the clock, but the progression is so quick, yeap.

106
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.

107
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: I don't know that anyone really needs one thousand kilometers

108
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 3: of driving range in an EV I mean, if you

109
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 3: travel a lot and interstate fair enough, that makes sense.

110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: But to me, I wouldn't necessarily spend an extra thirty

111
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: grand to travel a thousand kilometers because I don't think

112
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: you would need it. I would end up just doing

113
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: the same thing where I'd let it run empty and

114
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: then I'd feel it. It's no different whether it's four

115
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: hundred or two hundred or a thousand, I would still

116
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: do the same thing.

117
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: So if you have ready.

118
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: Access to charge it, it doesn't really make that big

119
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: of a difference to me.

120
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: And I think most times in the next five ten

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: years are going to have charging stations any degree of

122
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: which can I mean effectively, you can do it now,

123
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: but you know in a couple of years time those

124
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: supercharge networks, you'll be able to affordably have one in

125
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: your own home.

126
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I look at our apartment building, for example.

127
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: We have one hundred and seventy five apartments in there,

128
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: and I'm on the.

129
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Top floor, no doubt. And how sweet are we owners? Committee?

130
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, the.

131
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Driver, you're on the committee, you're on the what do

132
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: they call it, the strata? Got one of those decks. No,

133
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: your dog is not allowed in that building. I saw

134
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: it next to my tesla.

135
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: Actually joking.

136
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 3: There was a debate at the last meeting whether dogs

137
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: should be allowed on the podium unleashed.

138
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: What's the podium We've got.

139
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: Like an outdoor podium area, whether tennis court, Instagram caller, I.

140
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: Bet you have an actual podium for first, second, third,

141
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: and you just stand up on number one.

142
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: So I know in our building that We're now up

143
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 3: to four people with EVS, me included.

144
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: What EV's had.

145
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: I drive a Tesla.

146
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: That's number nine. We'll get up to ten. I get

147
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: to you're buying the first drink. So yeah, basically, the.

148
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: Progression of EVS in our building kind of reflects what's

149
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: happening in the market as well, so I think it

150
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: will just be a sign of it increasing over time slowly.

151
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get there. I've lost my spot because that

152
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: was just you were so boring. What are we going

153
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: to talk about now, oh, Ranger Raptor.

154
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: Yes, So this is a little complicated, right because right

155
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: now it is.

156
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: We won't say the exact date. I like to make

157
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: these podcasts sound timeless.

158
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: It's before the Ranger Raptor has been revealed, so some

159
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: of the stuff that I'm about to say may not

160
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: actually be correct, but this is what I well.

161
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: We know so far, and it's before launch at this point.

162
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: So what I do know is that it's powered by

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: a three liter twin turbo V six petrol engine, which

164
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: is awesome because we all thought it was just going

165
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: to get the V six diesel, but they have gone

166
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: whole hod here and gone with the turbo V six petrol.

167
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: That also probably means is gonna get launched in the

168
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: States with that exact engine as well, and it will

169
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: be a global for performance spec for that car.

170
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: But I did a development drive with Ford.

171
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: Probably six months ago now and we got to be

172
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: passengers in the Everest V six diesel, Ranger two liter

173
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: diesel and Ranger Raptor, and it was through the Victorian

174
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: high country and some of the stuff this car was

175
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: doing was insane, like it was climbing these mud covered

176
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: clay hills that I probably wouldn't even attempt in a

177
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: modified four wheel drive, and they were just sending it

178
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 3: and it is awesome. So front difflock, center difflock, rear difflock,

179
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: so you've got three differential locks on the car. So

180
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: it is a proper off road machine, full time Fabell drive,

181
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: but can go into two wheel drive for drift mode.

182
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: Sounds absolutely awesome, and the interior looks different enough to

183
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: the standard Ranger to get that sort of RAPTI vibe

184
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: to it. We don't know price or exact power and

185
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: talk outputs, but this will be expensive, I reckon The

186
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: current Ranger Raptor is around seventy six seventy seven grand

187
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: given they've just thrown the kitchen sink at this, I

188
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: reckon maybe eighty five ninety thousand.

189
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: Dollars with all that, Like it is properly kitted out.

190
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: And what you were saying about the interior, I feel like,

191
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: even though you know there's enough difference from the say

192
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: the standard Ranger, when you look at what the twenty

193
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: twenty two Ranger is adding at the moment, it's it's

194
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: kitted out. It's enough, you know what I mean.

195
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like you've got proper recaro seats, you've got the

196
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: big sort of display in the center, raptor highlights inside

197
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: the cabin that the sort of paddle shifters. It actually

198
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: gets the same suspension as the fine fifty Raptor update

199
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: in the States. So that's with the I think it's

200
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: called live valve suspension, which is Fox racing suspension, but

201
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: it has adaptive damping, and it also has things like

202
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: a jump mode so that it can actually press the

203
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: suspension for full extension and then full jam, which is

204
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: that's cool, soo jounces where you get that full compression.

205
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: So the way that it deals with it impacting the body.

206
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: It's Paul going down to the Westfield Car Park. Check

207
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: come off full of thick car. Check it out, bro.

208
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: Jumps jounces, So yeah, it's it's going to be an

209
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 3: absolute beast and I cannot wait to drive this.

210
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: Are they bringing the F one fifty here? Look?

211
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: Probably not? No, The problem is at the moment one

212
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: looks good.

213
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

214
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: F one fifty in the States is you know, And

215
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: we discussed this in the LA Special. F one fifty

216
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: is a proper truck and they are at one hundred

217
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: percent capacity just for the States and left hand drive markets.

218
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: So for them to make it right hand drive, it

219
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 3: just makes no sense at all from an engineering standpoint.

220
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: So the only way.

221
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: They would do it is to bring it here and

222
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: convert it to right hand drive locally. Toyota appears to

223
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: be doing that with the Tundra, and I think if

224
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: Toyota does it, Ford will be forced to do it

225
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: as well.

226
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: We need to talk about Young Day's Ionic five real quick,

227
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: because I've got a feeling this is a case of

228
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: Paul going as an engineer. I told you so, guys, guys,

229
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: I told you yeah so. Look.

230
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: One of my main complaints with the five.

231
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: I thought it was a really great car, but one

232
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: of My main complaints was the body control, and where

233
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: we tested it at the proving ground it I've almost

234
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: left the ground at one hundred and thirty ks now,

235
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: which is the maximum speed you can do in Australia

236
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: on the sine waves. So when it gets to that point,

237
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 3: it shows that the car doesn't have a great deal

238
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: of body control, and to me that wasn't a good thing.

239
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: And for that reason I wouldn't buy one because a

240
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: lot of people do highway driving with family on board,

241
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: and if it doesn't feel comfortable or safe, you don't

242
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: want to want to buy one. So in this instance

243
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 3: I complained about it. Everyone else thought it was fantastic

244
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 3: and I thought, well.

245
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: Well that's not quite other people when we reviewed that. Now,

246
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: when we review this, I said, like, my main concern

247
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: with this car was it doesn't handle great, and it

248
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: just doesn't handle like, for instance, the normal commute.

249
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: Yep, okay, outside of you and one of my friends

250
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: who is actually a dynamics engineer at a car company,

251
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: who was.

252
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: Another engineering friend, yep, he thought it was shocking as well.

253
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: Everyone else thought it was great.

254
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 3: And the thing is with this Yonday has now come

255
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 3: out and said that there are some changes coming to

256
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 3: the Ionic five, including some different suspensions. So now they've

257
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: now introduced smart frequency dampers that are said to improve

258
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 3: the response of the front and rear suspension to increase

259
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: right comfort and improve body control.

260
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: So I told you so is where I was going

261
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: at with that.

262
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: He just wanted to get that in.

263
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: Yes, that's all.

264
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: That's literally. He sent me ten texts this week. Hey,

265
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: I told you, so, what are you talking about? Hey?

266
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: I told you I want to talk about Singer. How

267
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: do you pronounce this? Is it Singer by Design or well?

268
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: Look, I just know them as Singer and Singer basically takes.

269
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: Singer vehicle design. Let's go with that.

270
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: So Singer just takes Porsches and keeps the retro Porsche

271
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: look on the outside, but it goes wide body. It

272
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: just adds a lot of styling flare to them. And

273
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: I tell you what, these things look sensational. And we

274
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: just published a news story that Singer is now getting

275
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: into the turbo business. They're based in California and it's

276
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: basically taking the nine six four generation nine to eleven

277
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: and reimagines it for enthusiasts. They are expensive and the

278
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: latest one is called the turbo study and it comes

279
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: powered by three point eight letter twein turbo charged and

280
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: into called flat six making over three hundred kilowatts of power.

281
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: And this thing is just wow, They're stunning. So yeah,

282
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: like you were saying, it feels like this really is

283
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: the service for the rich and famous. It is almost

284
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: like a private commission. You bring your secondhand Porsche might

285
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: probably would need some sort of restoration anyway, and you're like,

286
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: give it everything. Here's my budget. And by the way,

287
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: there is no budget. Just go to friggintown and they will.

288
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: And I know before COVID I was saying that one

289
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: of my mates was into it and it was about

290
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: an eighteen month wait then and that was you know,

291
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: getting it overseas, getting it all done, sending it over here.

292
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: That was within eighteen months, and that was like, wow,

293
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: that's such a long way. So now I don't know,

294
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: but i'd have to say at least two years plus.

295
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have blown out.

296
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: And that's the thing with these vehicles. You it's expensive

297
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: because you have to have one to start with. They

298
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: then butcher it. And by saying butcher it, I mean

299
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: they have to take it all apart to add all

300
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: this stuff to it.

301
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: But the thing is, anyone can really buy a Lambo.

302
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: So if you just walk into a Lamborghini dealership, you

303
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: just throw money at them and they will get you

304
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: a car.

305
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: But with these guys, this is why people go and

306
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: buy these. They're just different. Oh the absolutely you know,

307
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: buy this.

308
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: Porsche doesn't generally like people stuffing around with their cars,

309
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: but I feel like there is almost a bit of

310
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: an understanding. Yeah, there's almost like a tip of the

311
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: hat yes this, and I think there's a lot of

312
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: respect there. And I'm just I'm going through the instapage.

313
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: It really looks stunning. I thought they did. I thought

314
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: Singer were the ones who did that. Did you say

315
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: that Porsche Baha?

316
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yeah, I'm pretty.

317
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: Sure they were on board with a bit of that. Anyway,

318
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: that thing was a gun like that was going over

319
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: sand dunes and stuff like that. They made about three

320
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: of them, and I know recently two of them came

321
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: up for sale.

322
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: It's them as well. So I'm just reading a story

323
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 3: here on Road and Track. The latest portion nine to

324
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: eleven from Singer is a Baja Ready twin turboo Monster. Yeah,

325
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: so it's called the All Terrain Competition study and it

326
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 3: looks mental, but just.

327
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: The way they kid out their interior, and for an

328
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: American company too, like usually when Americans get their hands

329
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: on a car and do mods. I don't particularly think

330
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: it's that tasteful. I really don't.

331
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: But the thing is that I've noticed in none of

332
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: these stories do they mention the price. And I think

333
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: that's indicative of how much it costs.

334
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: The guy who started this used to be in a

335
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: rock band back in the days, so cool, I forget it.

336
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: I think it's like Rob Dick Dickinson up. I don't

337
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: I can't even remember the band he was in, but

338
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: I know he was in English or he's an English guy,

339
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: and I think that maybe that says a lot for

340
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: the for the way that this car is put together,

341
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: because the Heia is just just stunning. The herring bone,

342
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: the dash, oh man.

343
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: It's it's one hundred percent there.

344
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: I love it absolutely, It's one of it looks. It's

345
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: one of those things if if if you had that

346
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: crazy amount of money and you wanted to do a

347
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: J Leno style garage, you would be like, guys, whatever

348
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: it takes put this car together for me, I want it.

349
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: I want it. The turbo that they made was incredible.

350
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's almost like I kind of wish

351
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: that they got together with Porsche and put something together

352
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: for Porscha.

353
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: Is going to do their Baja car, which is like

354
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: an off road version of the nine to eleven. Right,

355
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: so we'll see what that looks like. But I don't

356
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: think it'll be anywhere near as cool as this singer stuff.

357
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: No, I agree, Car Review Time, Yes, throw to it.

358
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: Just you always give it a bit of a Yars

359
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: or yards Queen or whatever you do. Yes, okay, that'll do.

360
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: Cue the bloody New Zealand. I had to pay that

361
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: woman so much money, and I want some sort of

362
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: a drummed up. Yes.

363
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: The Bmwix range prices start from one hundred and fifty

364
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 4: six thousand, five hundred and fifty three dollars for the

365
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 4: x Drive forty to the one we reviewed, the x

366
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 4: Drive fifty at one hundred and eighty three thousand, two

367
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 4: hundred dollars excluding on road costs.

368
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: The bmw Ix, which is currently parked out the front

369
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: looking lovely except.

370
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: You're in it. Who looks better the car or me?

371
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god? You honestly don't deserve to be in

372
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: that car. You look shady as anything. You look honestly,

373
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: you look like you've stolen it. You werering songs today

374
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: driving a one hundred and eighty thousand dollars car. That

375
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: pisses me off because you actually see genuine like rich

376
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: people doing that, getting into their portion nine elevens just

377
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: with you know, tracks, it pants and whatnot.

378
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you don't feel too strongly about it.

379
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: Lovely car, it's really nice. I think I'm gonna preference

380
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: this by saying that obviously I haven't been driving it

381
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: around like you've been driving around, but as an Admira

382
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: looks really cool.

383
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, look in the pictures, it looks interesting. In person,

384
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: it looks interesting, And styling is entirely subjective, right, So

385
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: what I think looks great, other people may not, and

386
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: vice versas.

387
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: So it is imposing.

388
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: It turns a lot of heads, but I don't know

389
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: if it's turning a lot of heads for the right reason.

390
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: I do love the back of it. The front not

391
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: entirely sold on, but it is what it is. I

392
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: actually mentioned when we were filming this at the proven

393
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: ground where we film at that I don't know how

394
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: well this will work in the country, because the door

395
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: handles are set up in such a way that you

396
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: could have a huntsman or something living underneath them.

397
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: You are a certified pussy. Well where we were filming,

398
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: where you were filming was literally at a huntsman's nest,

399
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: and they were everywhere everywhere.

400
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: It was like five of them in plain sight. And

401
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: then one of them, which I thought was dead, I

402
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: went back inside five minutes later and it had vanished,

403
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh this, I'm getting out of here.

404
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: So this is why I think that if you owned

405
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: this car in the middle of Australia, that you would

406
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: have all sorts of fun things living under the door handles.

407
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like that's with any door handle though,

408
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: right a very spacious door handle recesses.

409
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: By the way, that hand yester you just did, Banji

410
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: look like a going to collogist.

411
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, look a few curious things about the outside.

412
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: I mentioned to you that the grill. The grill is there,

413
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: but it's not real because it's an ev They only

414
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: use the bottom section, which has these loovers that open

415
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: and close depending on whether it needs cooling. That just

416
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: sort of calls the battery right, and the grill section

417
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 3: actually has a speaker behind it for the order a

418
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 3: pedestrian warning stuff. It has the radar, It has a

419
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: dimeister in it to keep that from frosting over.

420
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: But it also has a self healing.

421
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: Sort of finish on it, so if you do get

422
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 3: a scratch or anything like that on there, you apply

423
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 3: heat to it and within twenty four hours it closes

424
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 3: over the gash.

425
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: So Jesus, I think we just got pulled off Spotify again.

426
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: So it's like my ex wife, So yeah, I think

427
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: that's cool.

428
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: Also, the bonbit doesn't open, which I think is stupid

429
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 3: because EV should take full advantage of the space under there. Well,

430
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: it doesn't open for the consumer. So you fill the

431
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: washer fluid through the BMW logo, you press it, it pops open.

432
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's interesting.

433
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: It looks like a rough Saturday night down Oxford Street.

434
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: It's just that's good. I think that's good. No, yeah,

435
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: the Oxford there was those photos of you coming out

436
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: of the tool shed. That was Scandal's we're in the

437
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: bumless chaps. What were you doing that day?

438
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 3: So yeah, Like in terms of the car itself, the

439
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: interior you've sat inside it, what do you think of

440
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 3: the interior?

441
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? I like it. I think it's you can customize this,

442
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: like you're saying to almost anything, this particular one that

443
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: you're driving. I wouldn't personally do it like that. It

444
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: sort of has these weird if you want to configure

445
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: the seat, you know, you want to move it up

446
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: and down and across and whatever. It looks like it's glass, Yeah,

447
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: it's but it's this kind of brown glass like it

448
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: looks like Geny Little's ear rings. It looks like a

449
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: nineteen to seventy Scotch bottle, do you know what I mean? Yeah,

450
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. But yeah, it's very sort

451
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: of I don't know how to describe it.

452
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: It's artie.

453
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: It's for chicks, it's what that means. But yes, yeah,

454
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: it's it's got a it's got a feminim touch about it.

455
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: It's got the wood grain on the on the front,

456
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: which I think is really cool. The one thing that

457
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: I point it out to you was they've gone to

458
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: all this effort to put in glass, this stunning looking

459
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: kind of glass wheel in the middle and glass on

460
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: the sides for adjusting seats and whatnot, and then wood

461
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: grain on the dash and then sort of scratchy plastics

462
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: at the bottom. It's like, come on, like why do that.

463
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: I think the key sportage had that wood grain and

464
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: then you know, next to cheap plastics and stuff.

465
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 2: It's like, oh yeah, look.

466
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: You're doing that.

467
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: I think with the interior they've when I picture a

468
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: modern EV this is what I think it looks like.

469
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: The huge infotainment displays that one screen, it's like one

470
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: screen from the It's the first BMW to features eight,

471
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: which is the latest version of their sort of high

472
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: drive infotainment system, and it works really well. It's a

473
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 3: big step forward. Great integration with the app. So you

474
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: can take a photo of outside the car, a three

475
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: sixty photo. You can take a photo inside the car.

476
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: If the alarm is activated, it will save the photo.

477
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: The sort of vision from inside and outside the car,

478
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: so good sort of connectivity with the app and the

479
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: tech inside is fantastic. The chairs are like lounge chairs

480
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: there as opposed to just seats. They really hug you

481
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: in nicely. Even in the second row. There's padding on

482
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 3: the side so you can kind of sleep on the

483
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 3: door if you want to.

484
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 5: It just supports you all, yeah, he's had a few

485
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 5: rough nights and yeah, so yeah, it's it's just a

486
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 5: really beautiful interior and I think they've they've done such

487
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 5: a nice job with that in terms of how it drives.

488
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: Look, it does all the ev stuff great, like it

489
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: pins you back in the seat.

490
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 3: The specific specification that we're driving here is the X

491
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: Drive fifty, which is currently the top spick. There is

492
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: an M sixty version coming, so the whole thing kicks

493
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: off at around one hundred and thirty five grand, but

494
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: this one here is about one hundred and seventy and

495
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: that brings with it a pretty punchy drive train, so

496
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: three hundred and eighty five kilos of power, seven hundred

497
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: and sixty five new meters of talk.

498
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: They're good, they're good figures, you know.

499
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: Well, the range is actually pretty good as well.

500
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: So it has a one hundred and twelve kilo white

501
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 3: our battery, so it's a big battery, but with that

502
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: and the power train, it allows you to do zero

503
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: to one hundred and four point six seconds and it

504
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: has a range of six hundred and thirty kilometers. Just

505
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: pretty decent, like you don't feel like you need to

506
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: be filling up all the time. The thing I don't

507
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: understand though, You can buy literally the cheapest.

508
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: Tesla they sell on the market, which is here we go.

509
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: What's that number?

510
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: Ten?

511
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: Oh? Great lunch is now officially on.

512
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 3: So the entry level model three will charge at two

513
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty kilowatts.

514
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: Ye, that is the cheapest Tesla you can buy.

515
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 3: This will only charge at well at under two hundred kilowatts,

516
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: so it peaks at at one ninety or thereabouts.

517
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: We need to put the killer wat thing into like

518
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: normal person perspectives. Well, so if you want to go

519
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: from yeah, so if you want to go from ten

520
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: to say eighty percent, okay.

521
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 3: So basically, according to them, it adds ninety five kilometers

522
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: of range in ten minutes, or actually in the extra

523
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: fifty it's one hundred and fifty kilometers of range in

524
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: ten minutes. So if you wanted to half charge, the

525
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 3: battery would take twenty minutes, which isn't very fast compared

526
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 3: to other cars on the market, like the Oni five,

527
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: the Tesla stuff, they all charge at a much faster rate.

528
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 3: So I think that's a little bit disappointing to me.

529
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Is this car worth one hundred and seventy thousand dollars.

530
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 3: Look, I think it is from the point of view

531
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: of it being a luxury car. It does luxury incredibly well.

532
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: But where we tested it at the proving ground, we

533
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 3: add it on the right and handling track and it

534
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: doesn't tick the BMW brief of being the ultimate driver's machine.

535
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: It is very floaty.

536
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 3: It feels a bit like a bus to drive, and yeah,

537
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: great for highway cruising. It is very comfortable and very

538
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: quiet inside. But it's not dynamic and that disappointed me

539
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: a little bit.

540
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: So those sorts of things are going to come into

541
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: play when you're driving through busy traffic, weaving in and out.

542
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 2: Look at it'll be okay there.

543
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 3: It's more if you find yourself on a mountain pass

544
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: and you want to have a bit of fun. Every

545
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: other BMW product, if you put it into sport mode,

546
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: you can have fun with it regardless of what it is. This,

547
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: on the other hand, is kind of the opposite. Feels

548
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: more like a Mercedes Benz than a BMW. I don't

549
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 3: know if that's a bad thing, but it's Yeah.

550
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: Should it be on the list? Are we buying this? Yeah?

551
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: Look, I think it's a really good alternative to everything

552
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 3: else Like that e tron I think is just the

553
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 3: worst way you could buy an ev Yeah right, it's

554
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 3: just not very good at all. This, on the other hand,

555
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 3: has lots of arrange. The tech is fantastic, very comfortable,

556
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 3: lots of room inside, but it just doesn't handle very

557
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 3: well and also doesn't charge very fast. But if you're

558
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 3: not too fussed by that, then on an issue.

559
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: All right, So what do they do with the bloody

560
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:28,960

Speaker 3: My new favorite, so thank you know it's coming through.

583
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,640

00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: not leaving him.

585
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: No, no, there's like a double negative there.

586
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: What do you mean prevents her not leaving him, which

587
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,200
