But I'm curious to know where 34 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: you're sitting. They do a bit of towering and stuff 35 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: like that. 36 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: Okay, interesting point you bring that up, because when I 37 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: did the when I had the test the car, the 38 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: fuel economy fuel economy was sitting in about ten liters per 39 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: hundred k's. So this now, given I hadn't done really 40 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: much highway driving before this road trip, so the first 41 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: three thousand k's have been getting to work them back, 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: which is about twelve k's. So I was averaging no 43 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: shit like seventeen leaders per hundred k's and then yeah, 44 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: and then when I was filling up, it was like 45 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: it was saying I was getting I was getting. You 46 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: know how it tells you how many CA's you'll get 47 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: from a full tank. It was saying like two hundred 48 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: and eighty, and then I think it was yeah, and 49 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: then it rounded up to like maybe I think it 50 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: got to about three point twenty at one point, and 51 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: so I rang up my guy down there and actually 52 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: I rang up super U and he's like, oh, yeah, 53 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: do you have a bit of a lead foot. I'm like, mate, 54 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: if I took this to fucking colder park, I couldn't 55 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: get up to seventeen liters. 56 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: So that's true, Yeah, that's true, or yeah, you should 57 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: bring it in. I was like, oh fuck, I can't 58 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: be fucked. I cannot be fucked bring in this car. 59 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 3: And I don't have the time this time of the year. 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: I thought to myself, I'm planning this road trip. I'm 61 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: doing a lot of k's in it. Hopefully it's going 62 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: to go down by then anyway, and you know, you 63 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: do the kind of reset on it and stuff like that. 64 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: I managed to get it down to about after a 65 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: lot of highway driving, about eight liters. 66 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: I think's pretty good. 67 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: Well, it was still like eight point something, let's say 68 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: eight point five, right, I've been back for like a 69 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: week or two, and it's crept up to about ten something, 70 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: but it doesn't seem right because at first I thought 71 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: I reckon, they'd calibrated it wrong. Almost. I was like, 72 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: it's almost like this thing's doing it in miles instead 73 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: of kilometers. It was so weird, but it was yeah, 74 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: it was shitouse, it was shocking. They were just like, yeah, 75 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: bring it in, bring it in. Actually, you know, one 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: thing did happen to me. I was out in a 77 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: place called crowdy Head. I bet it was yeah, and 78 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: head is not that great in Crowdy Head, I can 79 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: tell you right now. But so, it was a reasonably 80 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: hot day. It was like thirty degrees and I unlocked 81 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: the car. The electronics sort of unlocked it and stuff, 82 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: so it sort of let me in, but the car 83 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,559 Speaker 1: wouldn't start, and I was like, what the what the fuck? 84 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: And it wouldn't start, and so after I was just like, 85 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: this isn't happening at all. So I took the secret 86 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: emergency key thing out of the clip, I unlocked it 87 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: like that and sort of reset it because it wouldn't 88 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: even turn and the electrics off. And I called Siparu 89 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, it was. It was pretty hot. 90 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: It was like thirty degrees I'm like, mate, your car's 91 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: literally fucking called outback. It's thirty degrees mate, it ain't 92 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: that hot. So yeah, believe it's sort of like bring 93 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: it in, bring it in. But look otherwise it's fun. 94 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: It sounds great. 95 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: It sounds great. Half, No, I I generally like it. 96 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: It's look teething issues, mate's teething issues. 97 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: But it sounds very annoying. 98 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: Did your father in law have problems with it? 99 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: No, they've had no dramas with theirs. There is non turbo. 100 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 2: They do a favorit of towing and stuff, so there 101 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: has been perfectly fine. And they've got no idea how 102 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 2: to use any of the features. So from that point 103 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: of view, it's been all good. 104 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: But did you say features You mean the Apple gar play. 105 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: Literally, he didn't know it had it until I showed 106 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: him the other week, and he's had the car for 107 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: like two years. 108 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: It's a wireless too. 109 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: Yeah. 110 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: Look, the fuel economy is a bit odd, the heating 111 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: thing is a bit strange. I'll get them checked out 112 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: and I'll keep you updated. But look, I have to 113 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: say as a highway car, it's still one of the best. Like, 114 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: it's such a great highway car. The adaptive cruise control 115 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: is amazing on it. We went up to Port mcquarie, 116 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: fuck and hell, I know you bought your Ranger from 117 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: that joint, but Port mcquarie and I got a few 118 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: listeners of this show comment going, oh, how bloody goods 119 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: Port mcquarie, Paul mcquarie is like a giant retirement village 120 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: for fat old people.

And 164 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 2: it's somewhat limited where I could go because it was 165 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: the long wheelbase and at six point three or four 166 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: meters long. It's sort of not as to annoy a 167 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: lot of people because every time I parked it, I 168 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: would be in someone's way, and often they were some 169 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: woke sort of Tesla driver that would take issue with 170 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: me driving that thing. But yeah, it kind of limited, 171 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: but for a long distance drive it was so great. 172 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: So did a lot of longer distance highway driving. And 173 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: I can see why Americans love them. They find fifty 174 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: is the best selling car in the States. And it's 175 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: not hard to see ryan. 176 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: Beast of a looking car, such a base like it's 177 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: got such a great presence about it. It's kit it 178 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: out well too, like that can't be ignored. I reckon 179 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: for a long time Americans are really sucked when it 180 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: comes to interior, but that cars kit it out really 181 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: well tech wise too. 182 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, they do a really good job with them. There's 183 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: a whole step of interesting stuff they've got on them, 184 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: but forward, I just don't know how they managed to 185 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: get doing this. But they had just stop selling them, 186 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 2: stop delivering them because there was a remanufacturing issue. So 187 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: basically the turbo hose was collapsing on itself and causing 188 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: the engine to go into limp mo. Then they just 189 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 2: had to stop delivering them. All these customers that were 190 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 2: expecting them just before Chrissy, we're told, nah, he could 191 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 2: come back later. So I know two guys that canceled 192 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: their orders, like, nah, fuck it, I'm not going to 193 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 2: wait any longer. I'll just go buy something else. So 194 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: I'm curious to if anyone's listening to this. If you 195 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: had fifty on order, have you kept the order based 196 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: on them sort of fucking everyone around, or are you 197 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: sort of looking for something else. 198 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: I wonder what the wait times are like on those now. 199 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, exactly, so initially there was there was a 200 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: lot of white time, But I really don't know what 201 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: the situation is if they've started deliveries again, and if 202 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: they haven't, the wait time is just going to keep 203 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: growing because no one's actually getting any of their cars, 204 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: So I don't even know if they have a solution 205 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: to the problem. So, yeah, it's a it's a bloody 206 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: weird one. 207 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: Talk about a bloody weird one. He did a bloody 208 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: weird road trip with what's his name, Joe Achilles. Yes, 209 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: are you guys fucking what? I only brief it just 210 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: it was just a little fleing fling. 211 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 2: No, we did a road trip and it was it 212 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,119 Speaker 2: was good fun and we meant to do a podcast 213 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 2: episode with with Joe and I think recall you were 214 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: a little sick, had the sniffles. 215 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had. I had the social media martis rest 216 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: in peace with Anyway, enough of that, Sorry for our 217 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: social activity is a bit low for for the next 218 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: couple of weeks anyway, not the point. Yeah, No, we 219 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: were supposed to do a little cute little episode with him. 220 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: Maybe we can get him on the zoom sometimes when 221 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: we're all together. Let's put him on the list, let's 222 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: put him on the guest list. Just before you get 223 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: into this, I think it's if you're going to do 224 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: a road trip, i'd say do it in style, especially 225 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: because the Melbourne to Sydney sitting to Melbourne trip, there's 226 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: some there's some great scenery and there's some good toilet stops, 227 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: but my point is do it in a in a 228 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: luxury car, like did you have that? Was it the 229 00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: seven series? 230 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: It was the seven series. But I just want to 231 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: challenge your toilet stops because on the New South Wales side, 232 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: the toilets are all like long drops, which I think 233 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: is disgusting for a major highway. It's not like you're driving, 234 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: so if you need to pull over, drop it's when 235 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: you climb. 236 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: Is that a little like a little position that you 237 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: and did that? I'll tell you is what I've got 238 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: a long drop? 239 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: So it's it's when you need to go to the toilet. 240 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 2: You pull over and you can see the cubicle. It's 241 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: up on stairs and as you approach it, you have 242 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: this horrific smell and you're like, I wonder what that is. 243 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 2: You get inside the little cubicle, open the toilet lid 244 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: and it's just a hole that goes down to a 245 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: pile of shit and urine and that's the toilet. And 246 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: it's like, surely we are a little more civilized than 247 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: this on a major freeway. 248 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: Why didn't you go to a macasin or something? 249 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: Like that, I don't know where they are. I'm just driving. 250 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 2: I need to go to the toilet. I thought I'll 251 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: pull over, which I've done in Victoria there's actual toilets. Anyway, 252 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 2: one of them had a glory hold. 253 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: That I was did you pull over in that sieglet 254 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: You would have got planed right out. 255 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 2: But seriously, one of the cubicles. We'll get to the 256 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 2: road trip in a second. I'm sort of sitting there 257 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: looking at the cubicle. I'm like, what is that in 258 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 2: the wall? And it was a whole bunch of toilet 259 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 2: paper in a hole and I'm like, that is so. 260 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: And then I walked around to the next cubicle and 261 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 2: the hole went through to the other cubicle. I'm like, oh, 262 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: I see what this is. Anyway, so we did a 263 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: road trip from Melbourne to Sydney and the theory the 264 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: hypothesis was is it cheaper, specifically for a road trip 265 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 2: to drive a petrol car or an electric car? And 266 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: we did this at the end of last year because 267 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: we wanted to publish it with Christmas coming up and 268 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 2: everyone doing road trips if they had an electric car, 269 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: I wanted to show them what is the best thing 270 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 2: to do. So anyway, we picked the seven Series because 271 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: they sell a seven Series in petrol and also full electric, 272 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 2: so we wanted to have the same car as opposed 273 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: to just different cars. And of course we wanted to 274 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: not be bored to death, so I thought picked something nice. 275 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: So anyway, we left Hawthorne in Victoria. Both cars were 276 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 2: at one hundred percent and we wanted to drive to Tarcata, 277 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: which is the halfway point between Melbourne and Sydney, and 278 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: that's four hundred and fifty k's away. 279 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: Now, the car showed, can I just quickly pause you 280 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: there when you started that little road trip of yours? 281 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: And you so you started with a full charge and 282 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: did did Joe what you like to call, brim his tank? 283 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: He did? Now, right right to the to the rim. 284 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. You've got to fucking stop saying. Oh, anyway, 285 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: so we brim the tank like you're something special. I've 286 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: thought about it. When I was filling up. I think 287 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: I was in Tarkata or try Fucker or wherever the 288 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: fuck I was. I'm like, you just fill it. Most 289 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: people fill it up till it clicks a couple of times. 290 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: Now, maybe you want a. 291 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: Little bit of extra juice and check a little bit 292 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: like why the tank. 293 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: No, it's when you bring it. You need to bring 294 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: the fuel until it is about to overflow, because if 295 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: you go to the first click, the clicking in the 296 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 2: hose is basically air coming back up the hose, and 297 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: when it's a texted it stops the flow. So you 298 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: can depending on density and how full your tank is, 299 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: it might click early. So you need to have a 300 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: visual indicator of where the fuel is, so that is 301 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: called brimming it. So anyway, we bringed a bit and 302 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: so tar cutters four hundred and fifty ks away and 303 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: the electric VMW showed the driving range of five and 304 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: fifty seven or something, and I thought, my drums will 305 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: piss it in. So anyway, we're driving along, and while 306 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: we're driving, we'll stopped for a rebreak at. 307 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: The place with the. 308 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: Whole and I've got a text message from one of 309 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: the girls at the office and she goes, oh, have 310 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: you had any issues with charging because the Optus networks down. 311 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, it's been charged yet, but I assume it'll 312 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: be okay, and she goes, no, that EV network is down, 313 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,479 Speaker 2: and that was the charger we needed to use in Tarcata, 314 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: and we were still about one hundred and fifty k's 315 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: from Tarkata. So I'm like, well, let's just keep going 316 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: and we'll see what happens when we get there. Anyway, 317 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 2: as we're getting closer, my range is like dropping rapidly, 318 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: and we get to Tarkata with two percent of battery 319 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: range left, and so the car had lost twenty percent 320 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: of its range effectively because it was going five hundred 321 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: and fifty to start with. And thankfully that charger was 322 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: working despite it being on the on the EV network. 323 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: And just just for those playing at home who want 324 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: a bit of a technical explanation about why an EV 325 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: does that. Basically, when you charge it to full, it 326 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 2: says it has a computer inside that says, well, my 327 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: program deficiency allows me to do five hundred and fifty 328 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: kilometers if it's driven within a typical drive and a 329 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 2: typical driver is how they certify these vehicles for their 330 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: driving range. So when you're driving on the freeway, there's 331 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: no real chance for region or a limited chance for 332 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: a region. In addition to that, there's an elevation change 333 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: between Melbourne and Tarkata, so you are predominantly driving uphill, 334 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: so effectively, instead of being in and around the city 335 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 2: where you're slowing down and speeding up, you're just driving uphill. 336 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 2: You're just using energy. So that is where you get 337 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 2: that energy reduction. But the good thing is that when 338 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 2: you get to Suton Forests down towards Sydney, it's predominantly 339 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: downhill because you're going from an elevation of six hundred 340 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 2: meters to zero and basically we're able to put twenty 341 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: kilo eight hours of energy back into the battery during 342 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: those descents. So it's got a long story short. We 343 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,239 Speaker 2: got to Sydney, we brimmed the car again right up 344 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 2: to the rim, and basically found that it was cheaper 345 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: to do the road trip in a petrol car that 346 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: ended up costing almost twenty dollars less, and that was 347 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: ninety eight rong unleaded put into the BMW and fuel 348 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: was expensive as well as two dollars ten at the time. 349 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 2: And also it was a six minute phil as opposed 350 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 2: to two hours and eight minutes of sitting there charging. 351 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: So does that surprise you, Uh no, not really, it's 352 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: I mean I've sort of said it before, I think 353 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: anyone and fuck it go back and listen to any 354 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: of our John Kudogan episodes because he puts it brilliantly. 355 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: But if you think for one second, like one you're 356 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: buying an EV to save the planet and fucking reduce 357 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: your carbon foot prints and whatever, you're just not cheaper 358 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: running costs and all that sort of thing. I think 359 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: time and time again this is unless you have a 360 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: way to charge your car at home, you know, off 361 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: peak and all that sort of stuff, I think that's 362 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: probably the better way to do it. But oh, with Solar, 363 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: I think were I've always said, I think we're EV 364 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: stand right now in twenty twenty four are a commuter 365 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: car their grades to sort of commute around cities and 366 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: stuff like that. I would not want to do a 367 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: road trip in an EV, Like yeah, it's. 368 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: I'm totally with you on that, and look to be. 369 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not there yet, Like you've just kind of 370 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: proved a point, like we're definitely not there yet where 371 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: we need to be in terms of like charging infrastructure, 372 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: Like the fuck A network went down and that was 373 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: putting things into disarray, do you know what I mean? 374 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: Like yeah, and look, the flip side is, you know, 375 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: if you're driving in and around the city, have solar 376 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 2: at home, and EV will always be cheaper than a 377 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: petrol car to run in those circumstances. And I think 378 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 2: that with the network going down, if you went to 379 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 2: a petrol station, you would have been able to put 380 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: fuel in your car, but you wouldn't have been able 381 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: to pay with their post and all that sort of stuff. 382 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 2: But you still could have paid with cash, which you 383 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: couldn't do at an EB charger. But the other thing 384 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 2: is that the charge right since we filmed this have 385 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: gone up by almost forty percent depending on what speed 386 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 2: you choose. And then I mean it is just going 387 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: In the history of electricity prices, they have never gone down. 388 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 2: And so anyone that thinks that when we move to 389 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 2: renewables and all this sort of stuff that electricity will 390 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: become cheaper, I mean they are absolutely kidding themselves. And 391 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: that's the case. It means you're charging it's going to 392 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: become more expensive. And then in addition to that, the 393 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 2: government currently takes forty five forty seven cents per letter 394 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 2: from petrol excise. So the second act disappears and we're 395 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: all driving around in evs. Guess who they're going to 396 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: come and start taxing, and that is everyone. So just 397 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: because you charge it at home, that I'm going to 398 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: let you get away with that. So yeah, look, I 399 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 2: think that it is an interesting one. What I did 400 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: find though, is that people get very triggered by this. 401 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: You either had the people that are just like, yeah, 402 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: I fucking told you evs are just shit. Everyone I 403 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 2: told you. So then you had the flip side, which 404 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 2: was people who love evs who were telling us about 405 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: everything we did wrong or everything they thought we did wrong, 406 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: to the point where some of the stuff was just fanciful. 407 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: They were like, oh, you should have stopped here, here, here, 408 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: and here, and it would have been cheap. And I'm like, yeah, 409 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 2: but I already wasted two hours and eight minutes charging 410 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 2: You want me to hour waste even more time going 411 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 2: off the freeway and going into some town because there's 412 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 2: some charger next to our hotel somewhere. Yeah, there's just 413 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 2: a lot of Yeah. 414 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: Also, this is a fucking simple road trip. This isn't 415 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: like some strategy plan where I'm trying to that'st find 416 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: clues like, yeah, we're not a road trip level for 417 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: this sort of stuff. Yet we're just not. 418 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 2: No, And look as an EV owner. When it came 419 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: to Christmas time, I had the fin fifty. I chose 420 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 2: to drive that everywhere we went because there is no 421 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: way I want to get stuck in a queue with 422 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: other people waiting to charge and all that sort of nonsense. 423 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: Even if I didn't have the Finn fifty, I would 424 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: have driven my Raptor. There's no way I would drive 425 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: an electric car during busy peak periods on longer road trips, 426 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: because it is just a recipe for disaster. That's what 427 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: my thought. 428 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: Hey, you know what did you find it to be 429 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: a smoother ride like? Because obviously it's an EV. I've 430 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: always said that evs and luxury cars just go together 431 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: so well, And to me, I reckon, that's at the moment, 432 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: at this point in time, that's where the EV market 433 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: is excelling. Is a luxury car game? 434 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: Well, look not really. I mean the seven was lovely. 435 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 2: It was really nice to drive. It was like thirty degrees. 436 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 2: We had the pulled seats running, air conditioner was cranked, 437 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: so it was all fine. But Joe and the seventh boardy, 438 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: I mean it's the same car. It weighs six hundred 439 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: kilos less, so the riders typically better, and he ended 440 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 2: up using something like six leaders per one hundred ks, 441 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: which is nothing. And I mean if you switch out 442 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: his car for a Wrap four hybrid which uses two 443 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 2: leaders per one hundred less and can run on ninety 444 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: one run fuel as well, it would be even cheaper. Still, 445 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 2: So I think that as a road trip vehicle, it's 446 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: just a it's a no brainer. You know what you 447 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 2: would have thought when yd brought the three and they 448 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: had issues with a tether point in the center seat 449 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: in the second row and they had to stop sail 450 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: and fix it. Wouldn't you at that point have gone, Okay, 451 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 2: I'm bringing a car into Australia. I'm going to triple 452 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: check that there is a place where I can hook 453 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: my kid up to in the middle of the second row, 454 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 2: because it is a rule, and someone has just been 455 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 2: dicked for this. Matt memo didn't get through the wizards 456 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 2: at Tesla because the Model three is now no longer 457 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 2: on sale and can no longer be delivered to customers, 458 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 2: and the customers that do have a car now have 459 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: doubts over whether they could actually keep driving it because 460 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: they had this exact same issue. 461 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how they overcome this. 462 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: So basically what's happened is Tesla have had to pause 463 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: sales in Australia because their center Child's restraint to the 464 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: point has not been installed. They've got the two end ones, 465 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: but compliance in Australia says you need to have the 466 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: middle one if you've got the middle seat. Now byd 467 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: did this go about eighteen months ago and had to 468 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: stop the sales, as you said, of the A three, 469 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: but they managed to kind of clean that up fairly well. 470 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 2: So did some really good crime coms on that as well. 471 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: Say that again, you guys did some really good crisis 472 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: comms on that at Big ID as well. 473 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, thank you. Sorry, Hang on, what's that 474 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: Emperor Mao take him out? Yes, sir, I just want 475 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: to say so, I am here with the Alliance, Yes, 476 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: locked into the regime. I'll take him out. That's the anthem, 477 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: isn't It's. 478 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: Not an inspected gadget. 479 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: The Emperor Mao is just like on a big throne, 480 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: like I'll get you next time, Marrik, next time. Yeah. 481 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: The compliance thing is fucking how what are you doing? 482 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: You're the most popular, well known EV company on the planet. 483 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: Everybody knows who you are. You think your boys down 484 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: at the Compliance Division would kind of check when they're 485 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: launching the new thing in to Australia. 486 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: You know, you know what as well? I reckon someone 487 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 2: at the Department of it's the Department of hold on, 488 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: let me read this out because I thought it was 489 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: the funniest thing in the world. It is the Department 490 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 2: of Department. No, no, it was the Department of Transport 491 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 2: and Planning. Apparently it's on the Department of Transport, Agriculture 492 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 2: Planning and corn Flags or whatever it is. But someone 493 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: they would have gone, Okay, I have nothing to do 494 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 2: every day, and they would have seen this come in 495 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: and gone, oh my god, we have hit them other load. 496 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 2: I cannot wait to stop saleon this.

Hey, listen, Chinese ev brand Zeka are 512 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: coming to Australia. These guys are owned by well of 513 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: the same people who own Volvo and Pollstar and is it? 514 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: Is it the Geley group? 515 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 2: Right? 516 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: I was thinking when this news article came across my desk, 517 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: this is just totally sidetracked. I once wrote a bit 518 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: of copy for Geely Technically, yeah, I write a radio 519 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: ad for Proton, Remember Proton? 520 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 2: Was it the jump Buck Satria? 521 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: Oh my god, the jump I think it could have 522 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: been the jump Buck or was there like a Proton 523 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: three or something? That jumbuck was there, fucking ute, wasn't it? 524 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 2: That's it? 525 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? I felt like there was like a Proton three 526 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: or something. I don't know what it was, but I 527 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: remember Geely also own Loaders. Yeah, I've got a feeling 528 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: it was. I was riding it because some of the 529 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: chassis or some of the parts were designed by loaders. 530 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: In this Proton something. 531 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: Like engineered by loaders that had a badge on it. 532 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was their big claim to fame. Anyway, Zeka 533 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: coming to Australia. What do you make of these cars? 534 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: By the way, Well, I saw. 535 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: One at Munich Airport last year and we were driving 536 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 2: in and I'm like, what the fuck is that? And 537 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: it was the stupidly fast sedan thing that has a 538 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 2: very inspired design from the Nis and GTR concert and 539 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: it looked absolutely unreal and I started googling it. I'm like, 540 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 2: holy crap, thisstening looks amazing. So they really are just 541 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: all about this radical design and just having a look 542 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 2: at what Volvo is doing with the X ninety and 543 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: X thirty. I just think that whole group and what 544 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: they're working on at the moment is just really fascinating. 545 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: So I think it is pretty cool they're coming to Australia. 546 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: I just love that we're getting so much variety now 547 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: in terms of what's on sale in Australia. It means 548 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: you don't have to just settle for the same thing 549 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: that everyone else has. So yeah, I think it's pretty cool. 550 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see them here and take one 551 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: for a spin. 552 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: I agree. I think I'm looking forward to these actually, 553 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: because competition is always a great thing. It brings prices down, 554 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: it's good for the consumer, the more for us to choose, 555 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of people like go Jesus bloody Chinese cash. 556 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, these guys are bringing what looks to 557 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: be an awesome I think it's I'm looking. 558 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 5: At the. 559 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: Zero zero one. I think it is kind of looks 560 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: like a plot. I don't know, it looks mad, though 561 00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: it looks so good. 562 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I agree. I am excited for 563 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: their arrival. 564 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: Okay, so everyone would remember a month ago that viral 565 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: footage that went around. I think it was originally by 566 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: car Well on YouTube, but the footage of the cyber 567 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: truck taking on a nine to eleven in a drag 568 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: race quarter mile. Not only did the cyber truck win, 569 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: but it revealed that it was actually winning whilst towig 570 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: another nine to eleven. There's an Instagram at account Court 571 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: and believe it or not, I follow them. I think 572 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: you'd think it's just something nerdy Pavelai would follow, but 573 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: it's called Engineering explained, they've busted them, right, they've busted 574 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: this to be a little bit of I guess a 575 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: little bit of hohoha, a little bit of showbiz magic. 576 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. So Jason of Engineering explained he actually runs a 577 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: YouTube channel and he's famous for standing in front of 578 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 2: a whiteboard and just explaining stuff in layman's terms, and 579 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 2: he decided to tackle the issue with the cyber truck 580 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: on the nine to eleven because I did see that 581 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: footage as well. I was a little just confused by 582 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: it all there, and when Elon Musk claimed that the 583 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 2: cyber truck was quicker across the quarter mile than a 584 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 2: nine to eleven while also towing a nine to eleven, 585 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: I thought, my spidy senses are tingling, because there's a 586 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 2: number of issues with this. A cyber truck across the 587 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: quarter mile is moving at a rapid pace if it's 588 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 2: as fast as a nine to eleven, Therefore it needs 589 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: to have a trailer with tires that are speed rated, 590 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: and towing a car at that speed is just a 591 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 2: stupid idea. So that those things were alarm bells to me. 592 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 2: And also they didn't reveal which nine to eleven it was, 593 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: so Anyway, Jason basically debunked this whole thing and discovered 594 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: that in the video, they only raced across the eighth mile, 595 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: So quarter mile is four hundred and two ish meters, 596 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: the eighth mile is half that distant. Then, when he 597 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 2: delved a little further, he discovered that even if Tesla 598 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 2: used the slowest Porsche on sale, which is the Carrera 599 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 2: T manual, that the cyber truck, yeah, the cyber truck 600 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: towing something and then towing a car as well, could 601 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 2: still not be faster than the nine to eleven. And 602 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 2: he basically laid it all out in perfect terms. And 603 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: the lead engineer for the cyber truck saw this video 604 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 2: and decided to reply in ad is two cents. And 605 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 2: what he revealed, which I just think is totally ridiculous. 606 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: He revealed that they only filmed it across the eighth mile, 607 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,479 Speaker 2: which we know. He also then revealed the reason they 608 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 2: did into the quarter mile is because the trailer had 609 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: tires that were only speed rated to eighty miles an hour, 610 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: which is not fast enough to do anything of interest. 611 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 2: And further to that, he said they simulated the quarter 612 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 2: mile and that it would beat the nine to eleven. Now, 613 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: there's a few issues with this, so they never actually 614 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: did it, So simulating it is just nonsense, and then 615 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: claiming it's faster when you never actually tested it is 616 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 2: just stupid. 617 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: One's cool. The secondary the other ones called actual practice. 618 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, the second part is that being a manual transmission 619 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: video that requires a driver that is expertly skilled in 620 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 2: shifting gears fast in that specific car to achieve the 621 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 2: optimum time. Now, if you're making a video where you're 622 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: claiming you're faster than this other car, you have a 623 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 2: vested interest in the driver of that car being just 624 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 2: a little bit shit. So I mean, why would you 625 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 2: not just pick a PDK nine to eleven where all 626 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 2: you have to do is press the brake and press 627 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 2: the throttle and everything else just happens. And the reason 628 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: is it would not be quicker. So they've absolutely ripped 629 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: it apart, and the engineer then self incriminated himself by 630 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: basically admiting they never actually tested it. 631 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: This kind of falls back to my theory of I 632 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: think the people who love this car, who love the 633 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: cyber truck, do not give a shit. I mean, the 634 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: fact is it's done its purpose, whether it was a 635 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: quarter mile or like a half quarter mile whatever it 636 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: is an eighth mile. 637 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: Onn't what was it an eighth past that class to make. 638 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: You it's kind of irrelevant because the whole shot of 639 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: it is, it is what it is. It's sort of 640 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: honest to an extent. But yes, the whole quarter mile, Oh, 641 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: we simulated it and it fucking still works and it 642 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: would beat the nine to eleven. That's ridiculous. That's you 643 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: kind of enclaim. That's basically a hypothesis versus practice. That's ridiculous. 644 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 2: It's really fast as it is. It's like it is 645 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 2: the acceleration figures for that vehicle already out of this world. 646 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 2: So why would you then go and make up this 647 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 2: shit that you know isn't true and then just play 648 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 2: it like it's just so stupid. 649 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: On the I think it's marketing. We're in a visual world. 650 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: People like aren't in consumers of this, Like, fuck, do 651 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: you know who drives a cyber truck? Farrell? Farrell drives 652 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: a cyber truck. He's his super producery. He was part 653 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 1: of a thing called the Neptunes. He's quite a famous 654 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: muso and he's also now like the head creative director 655 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 1: of like Gucci or something like that. So that's your 656 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: audience of a truck is someone like Pharrell. They just 657 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: want their friends to go check out my car. It 658 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: can beat a nine to eleven until a nine to eleven, 659 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: even though it's not really true, true, it's showbiz true. 660 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: That's enough for an influencer. Do you know what I mean? 661 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: That would just I'll just flick their hair and carry on. 662 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: But interesting one to kind of go, guys, you've just 663 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: been shot on and sort of that engineer probably should 664 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: have just shut his mouth a little bit. By the way, 665 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: do you know should we just finish out with a 666 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: couple of question to you from the gram? 667 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it. 668 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: Let's go. Okay, these will be rapid fire questions, so 669 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: let's not think too hard about it. Should be easy 670 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: for me. 671 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 2: Ah. 672 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: This one's from Marty Party. Do you think petrol vehicles 673 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 1: kept installed in good nick would be lucrative in twenty 674 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: or thirty years as an investment? Are I mean? Yes, 675 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: obviously it depends of what car, right, But yes, yes, depends. 676 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 2: On the car. But I will definitely have some in storage. 677 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: This one is from Mitchell sup Brother falcon Or Commodore 678 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: and why I'm going to say Commodore, I don't know. 679 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: I feel like I've got a greater affiliation with a 680 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: Commodore the great Australian car, right, I mean they look better, 681 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: they drive faster. 682 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 2: Gushing, So it depends on the era. For me, there 683 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 2: were some eras where falcon were better than Commodorees and 684 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 2: vice versus. It really depends. I do only have HSV's 685 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 2: at the moment, but I will look to change that 686 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 2: in the near future. 687 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: I still reckon that XU six is an amazing forward. 688 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 2: By the way, x six tuber or the six. 689 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: How is Donna's New Year? Let's throw that to Pavla. 690 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: That was from Liam. How was how was Donna's New Year? 691 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, sweaty, that's no fireworks? All right? 692 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 1: Am I ever a pair of lee We'll go out 693 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: with a bang doll on. You know it's weird. Started 694 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: off this episode saying Paul's on the zoom with the 695 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: blue wife beater singleer where his man boobs look like 696 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: Donna's croup top. So obviously where you are there would 697 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: have been a window. So the sun has gone down, 698 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: so all I can basically see is you're faded over time. 699 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: There's like all I can see is like this big 700 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: Croatian cheesy smile and those creamy kind of arms that 701 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: haven't seen the light of day in a long time. 702 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I can barely see that pair. 703 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 2: Of duns have just come out. Don't worry that safety's on. 704 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 2: It's okay. 705 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: Someone called doctor Chris Brown. Those swans are sick. What 706 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: is that under your arm? Is that Donald's vagina? Anyway, 707 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: It's actually so this whole episode you've gently faded out. 708 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: It's like an episode of Law and Order. I'm just 709 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: waiting for it to go for executive produce a dig wolf. 710 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 2: It's a metaphor for this episode. 711 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: Yes, this question comes from Doug. Should we import Oh, 712 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: should we import the larder nivar again? 713 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? I reckon. I'm just sick of I don't know, 714 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 2: just especially with all this Hindraus stuff that's happened since 715 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 2: our last episode. And we'll talk about that in the 716 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 2: next episode. I just am sick of people being told 717 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,240 Speaker 2: that they can and can't do it. And the reason 718 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 2: it won't get improported is there'll be some safety idiot 719 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 2: that just says you can't have it. It'll be the 720 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 2: same safety idiot that's off the sale on that Tesla. Yeah, 721 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 2: it'll be some stupid rules someone put in place, you 722 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 2: know anyway, But yes, I think they should, but they won't. 723 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: From Henry, give your thoughts on the new Gi Yarus. 724 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: I like the Gi Yrris. I don't know. I'm guessing 725 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: he's talking about the one that's out right now. 726 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 2: I added an automatic transmission, and okay, yeah, I think 727 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 2: the interior looks a bit stupid, but I am very 728 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 2: keen to drive it because of the seating position which 729 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 2: is lower. And I'm very keen to see what that 730 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 2: auto transmission is like as well, because maybe it was 731 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 2: it was fine, but just an auto in that, if 732 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 2: it's good, should actually really give it a bit of 733 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 2: a reinvigoration. 734 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm keen to drive it. I like to see. 735 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: I love the manual in it. Personally. I think it's good. 736 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: The prices are coming down on those those og Gi 737 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: yarisis as well, which is good to see. I'm worried 738 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: because I feel like this will be like when they 739 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: just stuck the auto in the Golfer and there was 740 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: no manual. It's just like this one comes from Oh, 741 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: This comes from a regular listener intrigues coop. When's the ah, 742 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: this is a good one.

Actually he 756 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: does say new or old, So maybe we can do 757 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: one of each. Let me see sixty thousand dollars old, 758 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean I would still go fuck, they've got their problems, 759 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: but I'll still go a nine nine to six. I 760 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,720 Speaker 1: reckon you could get under sixty thousand dollars. 761 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 2: Yes, I'd be going down the path of if we're 762 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 2: talking new. We just spoke about it for the gr yars. 763 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 2: I reckon that car in ten or fifteen years time 764 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: will be the most bizarre thing to have on the 765 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 2: road and it will be cool withst car to have 766 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 2: on the road. 767 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: Do you reckon? You could get the new Type R 768 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 1: that's probably. 769 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 2: About seventeen three grand. 770 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: You cough up an extra ten grand and that'll be 771 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: a fucking classic, or I may just do that, give 772 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: the Type R.
