Buddy! You did everything right! On my Subaru Leone, the rear load-bearing beam broke into two parts as if it were a rotten log, and I had difficulty getting home from fishing. After that, I replaced the carrier beam, cleaned, primed the entire rear suspension and did anti-corrosion treatment on the inside of the beam. P.S. Greetings from Russia from the classic Subaru club✌️😎

The voiceover sounds like one who used to narrate episodes of PBS Frontline from the 80s and early 90s.

Haha I had one in high school jr year 2000-2001

Yes, GM. You were on your way to make history alright. Now you're in debt as Elon and Tesla fight over who keeps what billion, because they lead the way, since they believe in their products as much as their customers do. You reap what you sow.

And the rest is history. Literally.

great comprehensive training video.

Sell??? Never sold a single EV1 BTW I owned a car you DID SELL...A Saturn! What a headache of a car. Couldn't sell it fast enough.

Bob Purcell- Total hypocrite 1) Customer determines fate? No, GM decided the fate of the EV-1 2) GM was to instill product enthusiasm False, GM created a campaign of false information to paint a picture of low interest in the EV-1 when the opposite was the reality. 3) EV-1 was to be FIRST IN A SERIES of Advanced Transport Products. TRUETH was GM had Zero Plans for any Future Products. They wanted to Kill the EV-1 as quickly as possible and they did. 4) Bob Purcell was right about one thing. ALL EYES were on GM and how they destroyed what could have been a very profitable beginning for GM into the Electric Car Industry and providing jobs to thousands!😊

I hope GM is embarrassed for sacrificing a golden goose, for a midnight snack

Idk if you still use this account, but is there a way i can get ahold of you? EXTREMELY interested in that U-matic mospeada pilot tape, it may be infact from harmony gold's own archives. do you have a twitter or email?

What a nice documentary. Thank you for sharing. The EV1 was such a great car. GM had the chance to become as successful as Tesla. Instead, they crushed all those wonderful electric cars. It's a shame. I would like to own an EV1. What could be cooler than driving around in this car today? Greetings from Germany

2018ner env200 is very efficient kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4ixfIBtard4adk

What piece of shit cars, but I guess in the *rust belt* any car will be destroyed from the undercarriage up. But one time we we’re replacing spark plugs on an older one and the fucking boots were ripping of and getting stuck on the spark plugs, on a fucking boxer engine. 2 hours of fucking around with the mirror and a pick tool just to get the spark plugs out to replace.

They had their chance, and now Tesla is burying them: RIP you bloated, arrogant, inefficient and wasteful corporation.

20:08 Saturn executives appear to be in a hostage video

“As we all know, the customer will decide the fate of this product” 😮 Didn’t exactly go that way 😂 @1:56

then they ruined an crushed the ev1, an built hummers the biggest gas guzzling waste of money suv ever!! fast forward least it's hummer ev but now there the ev guzzler of electrics ironically

Such a tragic end to a groundbreaking car Well we gotta thank GM for if it wasn’t for their extremely poor and out of touch handling of the EV1, we never would’ve gotten Tesla

The little soo-bar-oooo. Wow

The little soo-bar-oooo. Wow

The little soo-bar-oooo. Wow

Sometimes I miss video tapes. The part when it did auto tracking is like a time machine for me.

So sad, to think how far we could of been. beautiful video thanks.

Imagine if Danny DeVito or Tom Hanks had perished in an EV1, the large settlement their family would have sought. So GM smashed them all, all two seats lol.

I'm an early adopter and even built enthusiast conversions in the 80-90s, and indeed test drove the incredible EV1 in Palmdale, Ca. I told GM that the EV1 needed to have seating for more than two or their car would fail, and sure enough, only wealthy west coast jet-setters leased the EV1, and it naturally failed without seating for family, and friends to demonstrate and show off your new electric car. Among the vehicle's weight/range concerns, I believe GM-legal likely limited death-blame liability to no more than two people in the car, sadly a huge mistake.

For some reason the type font they use for highlighting some of the tips reminds me of Metal band Queensryche’s 1988 (the same year of this PDI video) album Operation Mindcrime which uses the same type font.

Dude in blue sweater was serious about this lol

I worked on the Safety crew during the record setting speed run conducted at the old Firestone test track located in Fort Stockton, TX. It was great fun to watch this almost silent EV fly by at close to 200 mph followed several seconds later by the ZL1 Corvette chase car making a huge racket! The scariest part of the speed runs, for the safety crews, was during the battery change. In order to set an official record they pulled the battery tray, which came out from the underside of the vehicle while high up on a lift, with all the batteries inside, and replaced it with one full of fresh batteries. It was a scary procedure that had to be completed quickly so the car could make the run in the opposite direction within one hour. It was both entertaining and frightening to watch!

"It is ultimately the customer who will determine the fate of any product..." After you badger and cajole all but 50 of them into saying "no" to it so you can claim there's no demand. Swine.

He never checked the windshield washers.....fail.

GM logic at the time would have been why using a clean, quiet, low maintain cost, fun electric car when you can drive a dirty, noisy, bad for environment, costly maintenance, air poisonous car?

Sensational Advertising

"It is the customer who will ultimately determine the fate of any product"? I think GM determined the fate of the EV1

this training video looks pretty vintage. a rare find.

14:34 EV1 promotional conversations

3:31 Talking intro part ends.

2:11 That quote about GM's electric car legacy aged well!

GM is about money, as is every single automaker out there. You can criticize them for killing their EV products, or you can acknowledge that no other car company was even trying to make a mass market EV at the time. At the end of the day they have to make money and they can't make money off EV's if enough demand was not there. I can at least respect GM for never giving up on the EV idea and revisiting it multiple time's throughout the company's history, they had EVs before the EV1, and afterword's they made the Volt and Bolt. I currently own a 2020 Bolt and I can say it's probably the best non-Tesla EV on the market in terms of cost, quality and efficiency.

Would hate doing this all day 😂

It was the battery GM wanted to kill, not the Car. They killed the car so that no one would notice that it was the NiMH battery they wanted to kill. After they fooled the inventor to sell the battery to Them, GM sold the battery to Texaco, then Chevron took over Texaco and buried it along with the battery’s patent. Now, no manufacturer is allowed to use that battery larger than the D-cell flashlight battery. Honda had to use 120 of the D-cell batteries in sticks of 6 in the 2000 Honda Insight model, which after cutting down the weight so much, switched to all aluminum body and frame, cost of production $35,000 they sold it for $20,000 at a loss of $15,000 on each unit, the largest automotive loss after production in history, but that all was because they killed the battery. Another killing was the water-powered car which no body has heard of or cares about, thanks to the infinite complacency we’re all proud of. After the earthquake tsunami of Japan 3/11 not only Japan stopped the technology of free and clean over-unity energy from water which could have saved our ecosystem from further damage by aggressive petroleum usage, Japan erased the technology from history! That’s right, don’t mess with Texas! (Search for water-powered cars of Japan)

So electric cars are still not innovative in 2021 for Gm?

That's so cool, I would love a turntable like that!

Great Video.

Hello, good video, could you upload these videos in Spanish, cars with that type of manual gearbox were sold throughout Latin America, if you can translate these videos into Spanish I assure you that your followers in Latin America would be hundreds of thousands, already that there are many of us interested in learning from that knowledge that you are sharing through this medium, just paying attention to your videos I say goodbye, hoping to take into account my humble suggestion, greetings from Venezuela. It is important to mention that the Opel Corsa car has been the best-selling car in America from Mexico to Patagonia Argentina, this has been the flagship car of Latin American families from the Corsa classic 1.6 and 1.4 gasoline and manual gearbox F15, it could Upload a video where you can teach us the disassembly, identification of the most common damaged parts and the assembly of said gearbox, we would greatly appreciate it, without further ado I say goodbye and I leave you greetings from me and my friends.
