There's a lot of excitement about this 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: as we record right now, you can definitely place on 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: an order. They are starting to deliver them, possibly to 22 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: custom it up in Brisbane. As in the last week 23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: or so, Paul, you put out a video for your 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: review and it's rubbed a few people the wrong way. 25 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: Let's explain why. 26 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: So the collective. 27 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 4: Videos that we've now published have over a midion views, 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 4: so they've been very widely watched. So backstory is, as 29 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 4: the Shark was getting released, we contacted bid on a 30 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 4: number of occasions asking if we could borrow one to 31 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 4: drive at the proving ground because they had an influencer 32 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 4: event at like an off road thing, and then they 33 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 4: had another event at Broken Hill where they were doing 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,919 Speaker 4: the national launch. 35 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: Yes, so the launch was a Broken Hill and what 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: was this other influencer event. 37 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 4: Some of the influencer event was that during the time 38 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 4: of the launch, no beforehand, several weeks beforehand, so they 39 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 4: kept telling me, no, you can't have a car because 40 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 4: they're not eight R complied yet. And I was like, okay, 41 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 4: fair enough. I guess that just means you can't drive 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 4: it on a public road. And they're like, yep, can't 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 4: do that. I was like fair enough. 44 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: And anyway, so we're passionately waiting and as the event 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: for Broken Hill was coming up, I. 46 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 4: Started receiving countless emails from these influencer agencies asking me 47 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 4: to attend and to produce video content and how much my. 48 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 3: Fee would be and they are real Yeah, one hundred percent. 49 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 4: I get these a lot from different organizations, but this 50 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 4: one was specifically for that launch. They talked about Broken Hill. 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 4: They wanted to know what I was going to produce, 52 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: how much I was going to charge, And I replied 53 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: and said, no, I'm not interested. We already have someone 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 4: going to cover it as a journalist. I'm not going 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: to attend now as well, and I definitely am not 56 00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 4: going to accept money to attend. 57 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: And so the journalists who attended to Big Clear was 58 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: not paid, no, just by byd to be there. They 59 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: were paid as a journalist from Currents. 60 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: The same way that we would cover any other event 61 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 4: and anyway. I then started getting more emails, and as 62 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 4: the event drew near, I got an email with an 63 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 4: offer for forty thousand dollars to attend this event, and 64 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 4: I'm like, what the fuck is this? So I was like, 65 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 4: all right, that's weird, and I replied again, and I'd 66 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 4: replied like three or four times by this point. They 67 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: kept coming from different people and different agencies. 68 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: So before that email with the forty grands, did you 69 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 2: get you did get offers of money to be there? 70 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, they were asking how much I wanted to charge 71 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 4: so anyway, ignored all of those the event went ahead 72 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 4: and didn't think anything of it. I then got in 73 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 4: touch with someone senior at BYD who said, hey, we've 74 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: got a car that we can give you. It's a 75 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 4: pre production car and I said, no, dramas, let me 76 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 4: know where I can pick it up. And they go, well, 77 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: it's not registered and we don't have eight R compliance yet. 78 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: And I'm like, okay, so what does that mean. They go, well, 79 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: it needs to be transported there. So our expense car 80 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: expense expense. I hired a tow truck and towed the 81 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 4: car from Clayton where it was located, to. 82 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: The proven ground. 83 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, we got rained out that day so we couldn't 84 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 4: film anything. So I towed the car back to some 85 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: third party supply that BOID was doing business with, and 86 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 4: one or two weeks later, when the car was available again, 87 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 4: I again paid to have the car towed out to 88 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 4: the proving ground and it was picked up, this time 89 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: from another aftermarket company that was getting components for it. 90 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: Okay, can I just say, can I pull you up 91 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: on that? Let me press pause on what that actually is, 92 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: because you're on your expense paying for that car to 93 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: be transported after you use it to potentially a manufacturer fit. 94 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: Out company, very company of something. 95 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: It's obviously doing work on this car, and that was 96 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: only your dime. Yeah, which interesting. 97 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 4: The car had to go somewhere, so I would have 98 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 4: had to pay to either take it back to wherever 99 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 4: their place is. 100 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: Good point, but I was like a bit weird. 101 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 4: But whatever, I'll just do it. So anyway, when we 102 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 4: shot the content, the outcome of it was I thought 103 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 4: the car was fantastic, excellent value for money, great tech, 104 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 4: and I was only limited to being able to drive 105 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 4: it at the proving ground. So we did our off 106 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: road review and discovered that it wasn't able to climb 107 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 4: our fairly basic hill climb on our very like soft 108 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 4: off road course, which is what we call it. 109 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 3: It's like a light off road thing. 110 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 4: And it really struggled with rotating its wheels going up 111 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: the hill. And I thought that perhaps it could be 112 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 4: talk limited, or perhaps the traction control wasn't quite advanced. 113 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 4: Tried a number of different modes. 114 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was going to say, you did try 115 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: the I do laugh at the different modes. Sand. What 116 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 2: is it like? Muddy land? Yeah, muddy land? Sand Land 117 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: Kyle Candy Land. 118 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 4: So tried, tried the different modes and didn't really have 119 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 4: much success, and I was like, Yep, no dramas. The 120 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: next day we filmed more content, this time a towing video, 121 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: and when we did towing with the vehicle hooked up 122 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: to the trailer dine, we ended up getting to the 123 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: point where we had drained the batter to the point 124 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 4: where it had reached its reserve limit. And one of 125 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 4: the things people don't really understand with plug in hybrids. 126 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 4: If you drive an outland a plug in hybrid, when 127 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 4: it says the battery is empty, the battery isn't actually empty. 128 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 4: It's probably got between zero and twenty percent of capacity 129 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: still remaining in there, and it needs to have that 130 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 4: capacity because a lot of these plug in hybrids, and 131 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 4: the shark especially needs electricity to move from a standing 132 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 4: start that the internal combustion engine cannot drive those wheels 133 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 4: directly until it's up to a certain speed. 134 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: So those internal combustion engines they kind of act like 135 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: generators to feed the battery. 136 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, in the case of the shark, it does so 137 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 4: it's basically charging the battery and its speeds of above 138 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 4: seventy k's an hour, it can directly drive the front axle. 139 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: So when we were towing with the trailer dine set 140 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 4: at three killer utons, which is what we do for 141 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 4: every car that we test with that trailer dine, we 142 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 4: found that when the battery got down to that reserve 143 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 4: started slowing from one hundred k's an hour down to 144 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 4: about seventy and no matter how hard you hit the 145 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 4: throttle wouldn't go any faster than seventy. It was basically 146 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 4: fully exhausted and that was as fast as it was 147 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 4: going to go. So anyway, we published all these videos 148 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 4: and then we published follow up videos about why we. 149 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: Thought perhaps the thing wasn't working. 150 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 4: Thinking that it could be software related or potentially it 151 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 4: was talk limited because this vehicle doesn't have any stepped gears, 152 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 4: so you are limited to the amount of talk that 153 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 4: you can produce from those motors, and when you're on 154 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 4: an incline and you have like the horizontal force of 155 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 4: gravity acting against the car, it is limited in terms 156 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 4: of where it can go. So anyway, we published follow 157 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 4: up videos and basically after those follow up videos, a 158 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: number of funny things happened. So our mate Kudoaks, who's 159 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 4: been on the show before. He published some hilarious videos 160 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 4: of his own where he was quite critical of the 161 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 4: stuff that I had deduced, and he came up with 162 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 4: some ghetto maths on why he pled testing was irrelevant. 163 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: Now I did. 164 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 4: A couple of weeks later, I stumbled across these videos. 165 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: Someone sent them to me, and I was like, oh, okay, 166 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 4: that's interesting, and I'm like, look, if I'm wrong, happy 167 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 4: to be wrong, happy to say yep, did a bad thing, 168 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 4: We'll fix it. And anyway, I started doing the mats 169 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 4: on my own because both John and I have engineering degrees, 170 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 4: and we both are obviously great engineers, not working in 171 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 4: engineering and haven't worked in engineering. 172 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: For He's mostly great, You are not amazing. 173 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 4: So anyway, I started doing all the mats and I'm like, 174 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: he's completely muffed all of this stuff up. I think 175 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 4: that's the way that he's viewed the problem is wrong, 176 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 4: and as a result, he's out by factor about one 177 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: hundred percent based on what I could tell. So I 178 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 4: actually met up with him today. We shot a couple 179 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 4: of videos. So they're going to go live. Perhaps they've 180 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 4: already gone live, I don't know, But go to the 181 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 4: Auto Expert channel, there's one on his and then there's 182 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: going to be one on the Car Expert channel, so 183 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 4: check those out in the interim as well. What had 184 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 4: happened was Bid went back to the proving ground and 185 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 4: it's funny, the proven ground is actually where they shot 186 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: the commercial for the Bid Shark. 187 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: So can you read this proven ground that you go 188 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: to because I always thought that you guys just had 189 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: access to it whenever you would be renting it or something, 190 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 2: so obviously can be rented by anyone. 191 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, so when we're there, we're typically sharing it with 192 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: other brands and other people testing new cars and whatever. 193 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 4: But then if they're shooting a commercial, they'll basically book 194 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 4: the place out and then shoot like a proper commercial. 195 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 4: And the funniest part is that in the commercial it 196 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 4: actually traverses the hill, but it goes down the hill. 197 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, like had you have tried to turn around 198 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: and given that again. Yeah. 199 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 4: So anyway, BYD came back to the proving ground and 200 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 4: I suspect it was with revised software and they sent 201 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 4: a video to the bid Owners group that showed Facebook 202 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 4: vehicle going up the hill without any problems or like 203 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 4: a little bit of wheel slip. 204 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 3: But no problems. 205 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: We presume it's it's BYD he sent that face. 206 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 4: I think they mentioned the cause, so anyway, what they 207 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 4: neglected to mention, And I don't know whether it was 208 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 4: BID that requested this, It wasn't us, And as far 209 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 4: as I could tell, no one had u the proving 210 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 4: ground since we were there with the shark. We came 211 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: back two weeks later to review the Prato with the 212 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 4: Prato Kakadu, and I thought it was really odd at 213 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 4: that point BID hadn't sent the video to the owners group. 214 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: We got there and I'm like, something has changed here, 215 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 4: and they had basically compacted the hill and put like 216 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: a really hard compound on it, which meant that when 217 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: I drove up it in the Prado, it was literally 218 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 4: like just going up a driveway. It had no wheel slip. 219 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 4: It just went up without any problems. And I'm like, well, 220 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 4: this is going to look terrible on video because we 221 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 4: went from having quite a struggle on the hill because 222 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 4: it was quite rutted and really good vision to now 223 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 4: having this hill that you could probably walk up. And 224 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 4: so I basically dug the hill open again with the 225 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 4: Prato so that it looked impressive on video and anyway 226 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 4: went on with life. Then when Bid dropped that video, 227 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 4: I'm like, hold up a second, that's a totally different 228 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 4: hill to the one that we tested on. And I thought, look, 229 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 4: if you have changed the software, great, it means it'll 230 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 4: go up there without problems. And I'm going to go 231 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 4: back and test it at some point. But if you 232 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 4: have asked them to compact the hill, what is the 233 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 4: purpose of what you're doing? You know, it's is it 234 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: to discredit me? Or is it that I don't understand 235 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 4: it to be honest? And maybe and this is the 236 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 4: other thing, maybe they didn't ask for it to be done. 237 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 4: Maybe this was just something that they've decided to do. 238 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 4: Maybe I hadn't done it for since we've been using 239 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 4: it for two or three years. 240 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: So that's why I thought it was just a little 241 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: bit weird. 242 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean it could take somebody going, can 243 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: you guys maintain the grounds of this a little bit? Like, 244 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: what the what the fuck is going on? This car 245 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: is capable of doing such things, but can you at 246 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: least like, don't. 247 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 3: I don't know what happened. 248 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 4: So anyway, so I have said already that I would 249 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 4: love to go take the car back again with production 250 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 4: software and test it all one more time. 251 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: It's presumably been given several updates. 252 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the other thing just very quickly. That really 253 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 4: annoyed me. When we did our review, I mentioned the 254 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: stuff about all the emails I received on influences in 255 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: the review. Now, I only did that because we were getting, 256 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 4: I reckon three or four comments a day from people going, 257 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 4: where's your shark review? Are you getting paid by Toyota? 258 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: Are you getting paid by Ford to not review it? 259 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 4: Are you getting paid by blah blah blah blah blah. 260 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,119 Speaker 3: And I'm like, for fox. 261 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 4: Sake, we're not reviewing it because they haven't given us 262 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 4: a car. I could just materialize a car. So in 263 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 4: the video, I said, hey, the reason we hadn't reviewed 264 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 4: it is because I didn't want to go to Broken Hill, 265 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 4: to some curated place that they've set up to make 266 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 4: the car look good. 267 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 2: But also, you did send a journalist there, yeah, two 268 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: Broken Hill, and they would have got car content out 269 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: of that and somewhat of a review anyway. But I 270 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: guess they just wanted to see your typical review on it. 271 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: And from a video standpoint, it is our rule to 272 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 4: just review cars at the proving ground. 273 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 3: That way, they're all the same. 274 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 4: I don't want to go to some different location every 275 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 4: time to have conditions I don't know. 276 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 2: So I mentioned also that would create bias as well. 277 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: Ye, so I mentioned in that video about being off 278 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 4: at all this money, and that given the volume of 279 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 4: people that attended, I hadn't noticed anyone except one outlet, 280 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 4: which was car Source, which is a YouTube channel. They 281 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: were paid to be there. 282 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: And then come to the party and told everyone they 283 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: the thing they said in their thing that it's sponsored. 284 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 4: Yep, And look, if you choose to believe what they say, great, 285 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 4: I wouldn't if you're paid to be there. I mean, 286 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 4: of course you're going to say only great things. But 287 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: the thing that annoyed me was that when I was 288 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 4: told that because the cars don't have ADR complains, you 289 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 4: can't drive them on a public road. Car Sales drove 290 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 4: the car from Broken Hill to Adelaide on clearly public roads. 291 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 4: Car Source drove the car on public roads. There's shots 292 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 4: of them doing that on their own in the car. 293 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 4: So that kind of annoyed me that I was misled 294 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 4: with that information. So I basically had these people call 295 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 4: me up the day after the review went live, chewing 296 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 4: my ass out about these influencer things, claiming they knew 297 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 4: nothing about it, and I'm like, I don't know if 298 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 4: I believe that, but I mean. 299 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: That could very well be the case. However, I will say, 300 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: like the the influencer payment thing, would they have that 301 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 2: sort of money to give the like there was a 302 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: lot of people at that event. That's a lot of 303 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: money to be spending on to get people down. I reckon, like, 304 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: you fly generally with these press junkets. You fly people 305 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: and you put them up in hotels, and a lot 306 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: of these younger influencers just want to fucking want the 307 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: content anyway, do you know what I mean. 308 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 4: I'm not the one sending the emails. So so yeah, 309 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 4: that was that was the by d Shark. So yeah, 310 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 4: it's it's an interesting thing because I'm just disappointed that 311 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 4: it turned out the way that it did. We review 312 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 4: every car the same and the funniest thing as well 313 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 4: as I if I did have some inherent bias against 314 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 4: we filmed drag race with my Raptor, wouldn't I just 315 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 4: let the Raptor win the drag. 316 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: Race and just go oh slower than a raptor. That's 317 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: that done. You know what I mean. 318 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 4: It's just it's just a bit silly when you get 319 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 4: fanboys involved because they're so wetted onto the product they 320 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 4: won't take criticism. 321 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: Well, yes, here's here's what I'll say. I think this 322 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: audience is an audience that either love the Shark six 323 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: or hate the Sharks. The Shark six, I think you're 324 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: going to get people who go, oh, bloody, bloody EV 325 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: looks like a shitty EV hybrid, bloody Chinese car. Like 326 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: You'll get that crowd, and you'll also get families who go, wow, 327 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 2: that's a really nice looking car. Paul said, it's got 328 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: good tech. It does look really good. I love the 329 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: stuff that's inside that. I love the fact that I 330 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: can put my kids in the back of this and 331 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 2: you know, we can go on adventures. Sixty thousand dollars. 332 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: That is the big selling point of this car. Sixty 333 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, right, And you get you get people out 334 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: in the as we sort of briefly spoken about. You 335 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: get people out in the West or whatever who like 336 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: put their money on something like this. They're going to 337 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: be passionate about it. 338 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: Look, and I said something like you know, ninety percent 339 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 4: of people that buy this it will be perfect for Yeah, 340 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 4: if you don't toe much and you don't go off road, 341 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 4: yes much. Yes, this is going to be ideal because 342 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 4: you can basically everything with it. 343 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: Here's the thing too, people who do toe and people 344 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: who do go off road will not buy this car automatically. 345 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: They will not. They've got their things that they're going 346 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: to buy. 347 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 3: But they also shouldn't. 348 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 4: The reason I say they shouldn't is because the other 349 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 4: two vehicles in this segment and how inherently different their 350 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 4: drive trains are. So GWM is about to launch the 351 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 4: Cannon Alpha HI four dash T plug in Hybrid EV, 352 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 4: which is basically a plug in hybrid electric version of 353 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 4: the Cannon Alpha. That and the Ford Ranger plug in 354 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 4: Hybrid are both fundamentally different in terms of the way 355 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 4: they operate. So where the Shark has a generator and 356 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 4: two electric motors that have no drive line between them, 357 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 4: both the Cannon and the Ranger have an electric motor 358 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 4: that sandwiched between the engine and the transmission. So the 359 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 4: way that it works is your electric motor is able 360 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 4: to turn independent of the engine if it needs to, 361 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 4: so you can basically use that to drive the car. 362 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 4: And in the case of the Cannon, al for it 363 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 4: has an enormous battery something like thirty seven kilo whatde hours, 364 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 4: which is bigger than the Shark, and almost three times 365 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 4: the size of the Ranger, which has a pretty pathetically 366 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 4: small battery in comparison. Now, the advantage of having the 367 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 4: rest of your drive line being the same is that 368 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 4: you have a gearbox, which means you can multiply talk. 369 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 4: So fuck this knoto is going right through me. So 370 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 4: the advantage of that is that with the Cannon or 371 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 4: the Ranger, if you are making let's say four hundred 372 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 4: meters of talk at the crank, you are basically able 373 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 4: to multiply that through a transmission. You're able to multiply 374 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 4: that through a low range transfer case, and finally a 375 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 4: diff and in the case of a Ranger raptor because 376 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 4: they publish this information, you can have a maximum crawl 377 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 4: ratio of something like sixty to one, which is enormous, right, 378 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 4: which in a Shark you can't because you have no 379 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 4: reduction gear, you have no difflock, you have none of that. 380 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 4: Whereas this GWM not only has a transmission, low range, 381 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 4: has a front and rear diff lock, and it means 382 00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 4: you're going to be able to do some pretty seria 383 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 4: off roading. When it comes to towing, you're going to 384 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 4: be able to engine break, which you can't do in 385 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: the Shark. So there are a lot of advantages to 386 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 4: having these different types of drive lines. And in the 387 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 4: case of the GWM, we're talking about over three hundred 388 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 4: oh sorry, three hundred kilos of power seven hundred and 389 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 4: fifty meters of talk has a two liter engine instead 390 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 4: of one point five. The range is even bigger again 391 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 4: with a two point three lead vehicle to load capability, 392 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 4: and the big thing with the GWM three and a 393 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 4: half tons towing, which again two and a half for 394 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 4: the Shark. 395 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, looks good price range. I guess we're presuming it's 396 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: going to be similar. 397 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon. 398 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 4: They'll need to have it around the price of a 399 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 4: Shark for them to be competitive. Ford, I think is 400 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 4: probably going to be twenty or thirty thousand dollars more, 401 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 4: And I don't know who would bother buying that in comparison. 402 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's a completely different product. 403 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 4: Ford has an issue as well, is that they're making 404 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 4: the vehicle in South Africa, which attracts a five percent 405 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 4: import tariff. Oh so automatically you've got a more expensive 406 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 4: proposition there. 407 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: I'm looking at the cannon right now. 408 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 3: Not so cool, isn't it. Yeah? 409 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: Not so nice looking in the horse pissed yellow. But yeah, 410 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 2: but man, it does look good. It does look good. 411 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: Looks good on the inside to. 412 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 3: Big screen all terrain, something looks pretty neat. 413 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah that looks good. Yeah. The tech they are throwing 414 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: in these cars now is yeah, it's wild. Yeah, it's wild. 415 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: In closing, anything you want to say about the BYD 416 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 2: Shark six, yeah, I think it's a great vehicle. So 417 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 2: me too. 418 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 4: You know, I think that most people that buy them 419 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 4: will be perfectly happy with them. I just think that 420 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 4: you should. And this is the same with any car 421 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 4: ever is test drive it. Make sure it suits your needs. 422 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 4: If you do need to toe, make sure that you 423 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 4: try it out. Telling as well. 424 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: That is one thing that I found difficult was I 425 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: did try to organize a test drive through BYD and 426 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: they weren't offering that. 427 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: Have you noticed that I think they've started doing that. 428 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 2: Okay, they've just started doing that. Well, yeah, I tried 429 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 2: to do it myself. Hence way, I went to BYD 430 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: Direct and they gave it to me nicely for the weekend. 431 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 2: As you said, most people are going to be completely 432 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 2: happy with this. If they've got it on order, they've 433 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: got a right to be excited about. What I will 434 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: say is I find it really peculiar that you still 435 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: haven't been able to drive and what would you call it? 436 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: The road going version? 437 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 3: Look to be honest, I think that they're probably pretty 438 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 3: pissed at. 439 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 2: Me, But surely on that respect, wouldn't they kind of go, fuck, 440 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: Paul's just published this out. We've got to get him. 441 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 2: This is a software update. This is because of this, 442 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 2: it's because of this. We've got to get him the 443 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: right one. Now, Guys, like, let's not dick around, take 444 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 2: a look at ourselves and go, how the hell did 445 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: this happen? Why did someone give him a pre production 446 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: car and let him put it under a stress test 447 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 2: when clearly it wasn't meant to. Let's rectify it, face 448 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: it head on and give you the road going car. Yeah. 449 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 4: Look, I'm happy to test it as well. So hopefully 450 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 4: someone does get in touch at some point and then 451 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 4: we can get on with things, and then. 452 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 2: We can talk about other stuff, yeah apart from this. 453 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, so anyway, Yeah, I thought people that enjoy that 454 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 4: just a little short episode.
