I ordered my Cybertruck 2 years ago, it ready. I don’t want it anymore. What shall I do?

AC bidirectional does need a neutral balancing transformer (autotransformer) but that's much smaller/cheaper than an inverter.

3 EA stations in a row on the Ohio Tollway are down; all 4 stands are out on each; Toledo to Cleveland...😒😒 sounds like sabotage to my 'ear'.

Unfortunately, we've had to cut out the Out of Spec Race to Vegas preview due to copyright issues, but you can (and should) check it out on X, here: x.com/Out_of_Spec/status/1806670968838054239

Kyle. If you or another idiot want to pour cold water or wet rag on the sensor to by pass the safety system is outrageous and makes EV charging worse. I have driven Teslas since 2018. Three Teslas and a Bolt EV. I have never by passed safety and makes everyone on the channel look bad as they do not voice an opposing opinion. Tom, should have spoke up and said he does not agree. 😊

Great information here. I would think your subs would be above 6K by now.

legacy has scale, manufacture and money, startup has innovation. Acquisition seems the logical choice for the short term solution. VW also suffers from Germany not having a big consumer software industry. Ford and GM could tap into talent from Silicon Valley.

Why hasn't rivian not gone 48V. Seems silly not to update

Is there a reason that Martyns KZbin channel is dead? I’m not getting any new shows in Canada. And his last pod cast was on June 15. Just wondering and missing the EV news.

Great podcast, love how you look at all sides of the EV biz and user experience.

Re: Formula E racing. I actually really like it! It’s quality racing (depending on the circuit) and I like how they manage their energy (much like ICE racing has to manage their fuel). I absolutely love hearing the tires squealing in some corners!

also fisker was NOT just 'spread too thin' - they had ZERO management competency

i wonder how kyle plans to get replacement windshields for the ocean

Buying a truck is an emotional decision for many ppl. If they have the sense left for comparing fuel cost etc they won’t be buying a truck in the first place.

15:55 - It's probably a government vehicle

Dealership is a big investment outsiders made for Ford. Direct sales model is not cheap for the car maker because itself will have to make all the investment. Still waiting for a Tesla showroom/service center in my city of 1 million but doubt if they have the money to do so. Might only be cost effective in EV "hotspots" like CA, CO and NJ. America is a big country. Just count the number of Rivian service center. It's not covering a whole lot of places and definitely not the rural area. And now that the early adopters all get their EVs the rest will need more service because not everyone is spending hours researching EV online. Not great if we want to electrify the whole country. Everyone will have peace of mind if we all just stick to the MSRP. Make the MSRP more reasonable, add a little bit fluctuation to reflect local market situation. Let the dealer make some money instead of relying on shady schemes.

Everyone makes big fuss for recalls in any brand. However when lugnuts fall off of Tesla people shrug the shoulders and say that the Tesla experience.

Domenick, great musical taste😂😂😂

ABRP has gotten weird lately, including stopping at a level 2 charger and charging for 2 hrs for less than 10% battery when there were lots of DC fast charging around.

Sounds like Tesla is falling behind in physical motor tech. Hyundai and Porsche is taking the lead.

I think without home charging, efficiency will be the key to a good ownership experience in the long term. I would give a lot of weight to the MPGe rating. Or better yet, any real world numbers that are available on actual efficiency.

Will the Chevy Spatk EV be able to charge at the Tesla supercharger network?

If GM hasn’t made a nationwide press release that GM EVs can charge at Tesla, then it should not be considered as done. Period.

Sorry guys, too much racing, competition, stressing systems to breaking point, ………. The channel is turning into another “Out of Spec” channel.

"will be bought by me and Robert Dunn" -- oof

Great show guys

Can you guys do a video comparing IN CAR Navigation / Infotainment systems VS Apple CarPlay and/or android auto? I continue to have this argument with friends online that swear they will NEVER buy a car that doesn’t support either CarPlay or AA. They cannot believe that the Tesla (as an example) has basically the exact same capabilities.

1:13:00 Ineos is owned by UK's 5th richest? man who owns conglomerate. Similar vein of Vinfast. They have life support on their automotive gamble.

Parking marshal supervisor at Devils Playground for 10 years, the road is for hire and is booked often. The monies support the event and museum. So, it is often closed to the public for that very purpose.

😢

They want ocean name not the damn company Dom

Guys another great podcast, you need to get all together and make podcast live 😊❤

Sorry guys….too much Pikes Peak minutiae.

The cameras (and a little AI) on the Rivians could also capture some data at the charging station: Is it well lit? Is it clean? Is there a line of vehicles in front of me?

Personally I’m watching what will happen with the Fisker Ocean pricing because in theory these vehicles should eventually be software unlocked. If that happens someone can develop software for the car to be side loaded into. Or just a way to keep the car updated.

Tom, do you have a discount code for an EVSE install with Qmerit?

Would have been cool if the McMurtry Speirling fan car was at Pikes Peak.

There he goes again saying silicon carbide dude wtf. It's MOSFET vs IGBT not silicon carbide vs IGBT. Sure the MOSFET uses silicon carbide material but that's not what defines the MOSFET.

Great show.

I was traveling through Albuquerque NM last week and my Tesla would not show one of the Supercharger locations. My wife googled superchargers and found it. WFT! If she had not done that we would have had to backtrack miles to get to one of the ones the car was offering.

I'd like to see a segment on how charging costs have been rising. A local Supercharger peak daytime rate in my area of MI has gone up 20% to 0.41/kWh. This makes roadtripping ten cents a mile the same as a gas car. But the gas car trip won't include an hour and a half of sitting around on a 600 mile trip. So it's not equal. For someone thinking about a first electric this strongly points them to a hybrid. Save money when you can charge at home. Save time when you roadtrip because the costs are the same as full electric. A lot of people lease or trade within 5 years so the added complexity won't matter. In my opinion Elon needs to reduce the price of charging back down to 20 cents per kWh. Otherwise hybrids will be the smart choice for the people who are repeat new car buyers.

Some bad info today. First GM has said the $25/27 price for the NACS adapter is wrong but they will honor the price for those few folks who managed to place an order. The GM site that folks are quoting to show this adapter is available has no place to order it nor is there a price. While it might be imminent this adapter is still vaporware

I’m starting to see a pattern with heating issues where it seems pouch and prismatic cells can manage the heat easier then cylindrical cells.

Kyle continuing the laugh off major safety and quality issues with Tesla is getting really old…any other brand would be bashed and drilled into for issues has as bad as Tesla has but he just continues to give them a pass on everything…and people wonder why Tesla videos do better than none Tesla videos….its because people like Kyle play into the cult and refuse to call out Tesla and Elon for the huge issues they have but instantly call out others

You guys cover the waterfront!

Nice to see the full crew this morning

Lets all partying together,Its Ford time!

Amazing, mindblowing,and now you can them for cheap too!Extremly good deal!Ford is Love!

Tesla bleh. I do not share your affinity.
