@turningpoint4238 HUD is not old fashioned and very cool and useful. Only reason Tesla doesn't have it is to save cost.

@gregdean8441 nobody wants to keep a fossil junk car for that long. pace of innovation my friend.
6
Doesn't matter how much vompute and data you throw at it.. If you got the wrong model you will never achieve full autonomy
6
Viking doesn't like the interior? but praises Tesla's stuck on tablet that looks like some cheap aftermarket mods bolted onto the center dash? He is also skeptical about Xiaomi and Huawei cars because they never made cars before? Didn't legacy autos say the same thing about Tesla when they first got started? Come on Viking, you are full of contraditions adnd obviously a Tesla shiller, and double standard when it comes to Tesla, and there is everyone else. It is obvious even Elon is afraid of Chinese competition, and we will see Tesla losing market share everywhere except North America where Chinese cars are banned.

Chinese EVs are already sold in Europe and Australia, and they not just meet, but exceed Euro NCAP crash tests. Is America all that much better than even Europe and Australia?
6
I'm surprised they are still around. All around garbage cars.
6
If you look at these crash tests. They are always done from the same angles. Often when the new models come out, they fail, then next year or two, they fix just that part of car to pass the crash test. The only cars I would trust if they passed the crash tests on the first year the model came out. It means that automaker has done its crash tests internally to make sure its safety not just bandaid fix afterwards. Because these bandaid fixes can pass IIHS crash tests, but if the car is hit from a slightly different angle in real life crashes as they almost always do, then it's not so safe anymore.

@jjjxoxoxo they have to stay profitable they have so much debt. If they make one wrong move they go bankrupt. EV several years ago was a risk they could not afford to take. Now it's too late to catch up
6
I actually think it's good looking, since the first time I laid my eyes on. I don't get why people think it's ugly??
6
Where do you store nuclear waste?
6
@GG-si7fw Tesla is cutting corners, yet you are praising them. what a cult following.
6
@rogerphelps9939 Oh but you NEED Tesla if you want FULL FSD, so you can play games or take a nap while the car takes you to where you need to go .. Oh wait... you can't do that yet... Oh I thought Elon said it was coming 3 years ago..
6
Cybertruck is a flop so far. Poor offroad performance. Unimpressive range. I doubt Tesla is making much money on it, production is slow.
6
Unlocking is just a fancy way of saying reducing the buffer.. It'll negatively affect the longevity as a trade-off
6
It's sad. Bolt is actually really good EV compared to Tesla. Very simple and with traditional physical controls and affordable. It's a good alternative for someone who wants an EV but not computer on wheels
6
But Toyota has always been lagging in tech even among ice cars. They never went to the latest and newest tech, instead focus on old proven tech for reliability, and that's what Toyota buyers usually look for. So this is a moot point
6
I read a study sometime ago that it's not about the frequency of charging battery, but the from what level to what level. If you charge only from 35% - 75% say 8000 cycles, it will still be better than charging from 5% to 100% only 1000 cycles. The latter "deep cycle" charging actually does more damage to the battery than frequent "shallow" charging.

@benmlee brilliant ViC and investor. Yes. Engineer? A good engineer but falling short of genius as many believe him to be. Creating an EV is not exactly difficult. Many engineers can do it and they don't even need to be genius.. Creating autonomous vehicles? Many of the smartest computer and neural scientists at top universities have struggled for decades. Elon thought he could do it in a couple years even as back as 2019. Yet we are still nowhere close in 2024.. it just goes to show Elon is not some kind of super genius he couldn't even evaluate the difficulty level of a project. His naivety may have given him the confidence to take risks others didn't and with his celebrity status came with funding and support to make it happen. It's not his genius or insight that made him successful like many of his cult followers like to believe. And now he is betting heavily on AI and robots I think will fail spectacularly as his followers are way underestimating the time required to achieve it. It's possible AI and robots become viable technology in 10-20 years but in the mean time the volatility of TSLA stock will likely to shake out many believers.
6
Thank God for that. I trust Chinese quality management than any European or American car companies.
6
Phevs are better than bev.
6
So all the big techs, Google, Microsft, Amazon investing heavily on nuclear are all making financial mistakes? Maybe the cost of land lease for renewables and field of batteries could cost even more than nuclear?
6
Every country has debt. It's the Western media blowing China's economic problems out of proportion.. China's GDP growth is still equal or above that of USA last I checked.
6
EV battery pack calendar ages, regardless how many miles you drive. Unlike gas cars if you drive fewer miles and do proper maintenance, reliable engines such as from Toyota can pretty much last forever, EVs will just expire after 12 years, as battery chemistry simply degrade. No amount of careful maintanance will delay this aging process beyond 10 - 12 year mark.
6
Lack of refuelling infrasture is not a good argument against hydrogen. Any new technology has unreliable and lacking infrastracture, EV no exception. 10 years ago, charging stations were even less and urneliable. The real argument against hydrogen is inefficiency, and storage and transportation of presurized hydrogen tanks are very costly.
6
Why are big techs like Amazon and Google investing heavily in nuclear? Land use of solar and battery farms could be a limitation.
6
@zachmoyer1849 that's true but for grid storage there cheaper options than pressurized hydrogen. Salt water flow battery for example
6
BS. It'll never work
6
People don't hate EVs, they hate computer on wheels. All the new cars are "connected devices" with a stuck on tablet to replace all physical buttons. You have to dig through menus to do everything you were able to do to with a push a button in an older car. Some people rather keep old cars they are used to simplicity, than having to deal with computer on wheels and being tracked everywhere they go. Please make a simple analog EV, none of the digital computer, full self driving BS.

I see bifurcation of China completing electrification but the West falling behind in 5 years or so, with exception of Norway perhaps. The West will still be filled with gas gazlers in 5 years. Just look at Toyota sales globally they are still selling ice cars very well in the US and Europe, but in China. The western people love their rumble sound of ice, and Americans will never allow Chinese car inport with the way trade tension is going
6
I would buy it if it were available in Canada. Phevs are good
6
@steinbauge4591 true but they can still make reliable EVs without all the computers and tech.
6
Perhaps in military applications. In civilian trasportation, EVs can replace 95%+ of ICE cars.
6
Investment plus hard work and talents. You need all ingredients
6
FSD is still full of bugs. It's far from being useful
6
@DavidSeto-i2q because Germany at least attempted to make right by paying reparations to holocaust survivors. Americans to native Indians and descendants of slavery. Whether or not they are enough is debatable but at least they admitted the wrong and paid some reparations. Japan did none.

I'm pretty sure US government will ban Chnese EVs regardless where they come from.
5
I bought a Volvo phev xc90. It's a very nice car air suspension. For the money you get allot of car and luxury features not to mention Volvo safety. I drive 95% miles in EV mode. But knowing there is a backup option in case of emergency i don't have to wait for charging it gives me a peace of mind being a care taker of elderly parents and a young child.
5
Toyota has better resale value than Tesla whether or not it's green or not.
5
@IverKnackerov This super capable CEO invested in Nikola
5
At this rate, the whole of West, US, Europe amd Japan will fall behind China in terms of technology in 10 years. EV adoption in China will for sure be close to 100% in 10 years, while in the west, there will still be plenty of old school petroheads who will refuse to drive EVs. Tesla might move their head office to China, so will some semiconductor and battery makers. What kind of world will it be that the tech leader is a communist non-democracy, whereas democratic countries get bogged down by beaurocracy and innefficient government?

Viking is pumping out so many Tesla videos trying to save $TSLA stock slump. Good luck, it's not going to change the fact that FSD / robotaxi is a flop. See you below $100!
5
where is the scam? these buyers should have known better.
5
Beware Sam quotes USD if he wants to make a point about affordability of the car, but uses AUD when he wants to make a point how expensive the car is. lol
5
Modern cars - both EV and ICE longevity are limited by electronic or computer components aging out rather than traction batteries or mechanical parts. Most EV battery packs fail not because cells fail, but BMS module failure first. Further complicating the issue is difficulty in repairing such issues, often battery packs are integrated tightly in car's chasis. Even a small resistor or capacity fail would require expensive labour cost to diagnoze and repair one single electronic component.
5
Same as TEsla. You only hear about 4 year old Teslas doing 300k miles, but you never hear about tons of Teslas with only 50k miles (but 10 yo) needing $25k battery replacement. All EV batteries die eventually, and need replacement. Sam doesn't like to talk anything negative about Tesla, what a useless biased video. If you just google, the top EV brands with battery replacement, is Tesla and Nissan Leaf. Bolt EVs have had battery recalls with free new battery packs. Bolt EVs also ranked higher in long term reliability than Tesla. What a load of BS this video is. Sam should disclose he holds Tesla stock before spewing his biased opinions.

Tesla has no moat around its battery business, as Chinese CATL and BYD etc, will gradually eat away their margin as they become more well known. For now, Tesla relies on its name brand. Software argument is laughable, a 13 year old can write an if statement - if grid rate is high use battery, If grid rate is low charge the battery lol. I've been in software consulting business most of my life, I know how ignorant top management is and willing to shell out big money for something new and shiny, even if it's dead simple. Energy storage business is new and mysterious to most. Therefore, you can upsell a lot by making it sound mysterious and complicated. In early days of iPhone and Android (2011, 12) I've sold several very simple mobile apps for tens of thousands dollars of what took me a a couple of days to make. Many of them amounts to just less than a hundred lines of code.

@uselesstable2058 no it will only hurt the US. McDonald's left Russia they are doing just fine with their own brands

@guygordon2780 Not really. There is objective truth to cultural sophistication and richness of one's history. America and Canada are "new" countries with very short histories, and most of population are immigrants. They bring their own cultures from Europe, Asia etc. There is very little unique American culture that can be compared to richness of European and Asian cultures. It's not subjective, it's objective. Cowboy hats, boots and fast food culture really can't compare to chateau of versailles, Roman colosseum, or Forbidden city of Beijing. No, nothing in America comes even close.

@scottmcshannon6821 It's an indication of overall quality not that panel gaps themselves aren't that important.

Owned by VW but I believe cupra is Spanish DNA
