The American dream is a lie of meritocracy, as much as I love Bisi he said in this very video that his parents were biologists and chemists. I work hard, I've put in my fair share of 72 hour weeks in manufacturing, but "seizing the dream" isn't a realistic proposition.

Things Bisi did would not be possible in Europe for example, even though someone working hard in science for example would be better of living there. people in europe laugh at the idea of you wanting to build a company and progress on it, "you would earn X amount on a job for someone else, why would you risk/attempt it?" they say

Taxes are higher but there's still plenty of millionaires and billionaires that built their fortunes in Europe. All he is saying is that this is not a rags to riches story, the one that the American dream is based off. Sure he may have been an immigrant, but his family was well to do and that gave him the opportunity to do what he did. Even most people born here do not have the opportunities someone like Bisi has had. Doesn't diminish from him being a brilliant individual and innovator, but still.

[@jamesgunnyreed]

The talk about feeling guilty for gasoline engines, and digging in the ground for fuel.... As smart as Bisi is I have to believe he knows where lithium comes from.... And what about the disposal of bad batteries? The charging for the car come from fossil fuels. Im neither for or against electric cars. They are fast and I think that is awesome. But how much better are they in the end for the environment than gas or diesel cars? All that aside. Bisi is awesome and this is a great episode. The car is amazing. Anyone that thinks driving an electric car isn't as exciting as a gas powered car because the noise is different or quieter hasn't experienced it.....Jet power is different than internal combustion engine power but its still exciting.... And Im guessing that a rocket is exciting too. The fact that electric cars accelerate as fast as they do is just amazing.

[@paulinadeluca9117]

I love gas cars and never want to give it up, but evs and their production still produce less environmental pollution. Because gas engines, car manufacturers, gasoline plants, and gasoline transporters,produce wayyy more environmental pollution in the end, it’s true. But still, I don’t ever want to give up gas. I would settle down with hybrids though. They still sound great, and consume wayyy less gas than regular. Plus that small gas engine in hybrids also charge the cars battery pack. So no real need to plug in the car and charge it at home or charging stations. Why go balls to the wall with a solution? Why not meet in the middle so that we can get the best of both worlds. Some of the best track cars are hybrids. They dominate almost all gas engines. EVs can theoretically get better performance, but it’s just not sustainable for convenience or longevity in the racing or performance world. The only way I’d ever be sold on buying an ev, is if the exhaust shot out sparks instead of flames like gas cars, and thundering exhaust sounds lol. It all comes down to the sound for me. Very very hard to beat the sound of a gas engine.

[@paulinadeluca9117]

@One Two Three Incorporated yeah I agree with you. They shouldn’t ban perfect drivable ice vehicles. If anything, if it’s seriously an environmental concern, (which is very hard to believe the politicians that push that idea) they still shouldn’t scrap it. If anything slowly phase them out. I’d think this is fair. 1) Do not ban ICE vehicles, but maybe stop producing 100% IC engines from whichever point in time on. Let people keep their ICE vehicles, sell them around, do whatever they want with them, but just stop producing new ones. 2) Begin phasing in HEVs, and EVs. 3) if that’s still really not good enough for our environment, do the same as step 1, but with HEVs instead of ICEs. Whoever wants to keep their old gas engines keep it. But new cars can only be bought as hybrids or full electric. So older gas engine models would fairly be grandfathered in.

I've seen quite a few "streetable" 935s over the years. Typically, they look all wrong because the stance/tire size is changed in the hopes of making the car more practical on the street.

[@michaelbarron864]

Few inaccuracies here with the electric car in the interview. One glaring issue is the subject of a battery fire. With a Li-ion battery, if one of the cells does combust and is put out, the fire most likely has damaged the cells around where the fire is. Once those are damaged, they become a time bomb until they combust (i.e. thermal runaway). This starts a long term domino effect of damaging cells each time a fire occurs which effectively equates the battery pack to scrap. This is one property of Li-ion batteries and a real issue and part of why airlines do not want battery powered devices in the cargo holds of planes during flights. I am not getting on electric vehicles, but making a statement where you equate gasoline to a flammable liquid and make it sound like a bomb and then make a blanket statement of "turn off the battery and the fire will stop (paraphrasing here, not literal quoting)," is inaccurate and grossly underestimating how violent a li-ion battery fire can be. All this being said, He did a quality job on the build and hoping he gets more orders. He does an amazing job with all his projects.

[@romanval69]

To be fair: outside of any kind of impact or poor battery pack construction... spontaneous Li-On fires are very rare.

The irony about the Betamax vs VHS battle, is that it may has been lost by Sony (Betamax) to Panasonic (VHS) in the consumer market, but it was actually won in the professional much more lucrative business, as it evolved into the Betacam system, which became the de facto standard for professional TV reporting crews in the late 80’s and 90’s. Panasonic never caught up. VHS won the consumer marketing battle, and it’s not a question of manufacturing cost as the system are mechanically very similar.

Anything this guy builds is just amazing, he truly is an engineering master. Ev will never replace the sense and feel you get from a gas engine but i love seeing these older cars being switched over, way better looking than anything these companies are building today! What is sad is the loss of human life around the world due to the mining of the minerals for these batteries, and most ppl have no idea how many kids and ppl die in 3rd world countries digging cobalt for pennies so we can feel good driving EV cars! Not so good for the world when you realize that!

[@jefffaller8474]

I love how so many people have a conscience all of a sudden around the toll automobile manufacturing has on people, civilizations and the environment now that we've been mining minerals from the earth globally for roughly a billion automobiles over the last 125 years while polluting our atmosphere daily with vehicle emissions. As an EV owner, i'm not automatically an environmentalist, its not even why I bought my EV; however, I have no doubt that we are just at the beginning of a battery technology revolution. Look at your smart phone and wonder how did we get here? what was the jump that allowed batteries to get smaller and more powerful while lasting days?, How did I end up with the combined knowledge of the world accessible in the palm of my hand when the "brick" phone of 1989 seemed like the pinnacle of phone technology. Personally, I can look beyond the here and now, and see that the future is already looking beyond Nickle, cobalt and lithium batteries and EV companies are doing their R&D already. There's companies and entirely new industries that are going to be created by this transformational shift in personal transportation while others are going to go by the wayside like the buckboard and wooden spoke maker.

[@CockatooDude]

While I do agree that cobalt and lithium mining is not done very ethically right now, we must also balance this with the fact that carbon monoxide and other harmful emissions from the fossil fuel industry are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, every year due to bad air quality in many places.

[@ginacalabrese3869]

Don't forget the Tantalum mining in Rwanda and the Congo. The same group that says black lives matter turn a blind eye to the Africa children slavery involved in mining tech minerals.

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

EV is the technology of the future. (Fossil) ICE is the technology of the past. So yes, there are problems because the battery technology is not mature yet. That is one reason why am delaying buying an EV for as yet. However, that can and will be solved, from which point on we will have clean and renewable energy for incredibly fast, easy and smooth cars. Hydrogen ICE may be a worthy competitor, because hydrogen can also be produced from renewable energy.

Re: Rear brake light actuation. I have a system on my '94 Lexus SC300 and also on my 2001 Ford E-350 Supervan called a "Saf-T-Braker". It is a circuit with an accelerometer that flashes the rear third brake light if the vehicle decelerates at 0.3 G or greater. Those were installed years ago and I was unable to find it available more recently. On both my '12 Jeep Wrangler and '19 Kawasaki Concours 14 I have a simpler device that flashes the third brake lights on first application of the brakes but then reverts to continuous lighting. On a related note, the Concours also has an aftermarket front headlight (dual) modulator that cycles the brightness from about 30% to full. Obviously, it is for daylight use only. There is a photocell in the circuit that disables the effect when the ambient light level drops to twilight levels. The cycle rate is variable but I have it set to about 2 Hz. It definitely makes the bike more visible to oncoming traffic. The modulator is U.S. DOT approved and is legal in all 50 states and Canada.

If I was a young man today - I'm starting up a conversion company and buying a boatload of Tesla crate motors for anybody who wants to keep that 60s muscle car but inject some major fun into it. Wouldn't be cheap as a Tesla crate motor would cost about $35k, then add in the tearing out of all things ICE in the donor, frame mods, batteries and BMS and it will cost more than a Tesla even before I add my markup but hey - it's the only way we will see 60s cars on the road in the fairly soon to come future.

BC is such an amazing and interesting engineer. America is so fortunate to absorb such talent from afar. They dream of the American dream, and America makes it happen for them, and us. Such people are awesome; just keep on importing them.

Very nice. Brilliant young man. The sky's the limit with this guy. I like all of his cars.❤️❤️🆒😎😎😃

[@jonathanmarois9009]

I first saw Bisi in the Netflix special "Fastest Car" where he raced his 1000hp 2014 Honda Odyssey... he hasn't changed!

We love wilwood brakes here 'we love vintage air here ' we love suppliers of components to electrify classic cars here.

Thanks Bisi!

I'm conflicted. Good build, but this was an endurance legend, wins the 24hrs Le Mans, the 1000km Nurburgring, Sebring, Daytona, and now it's a 100 mile lady shaver. It's supposed to be a screaming 3.3L turbo 850 bhp at 935kg (2060lb) but now it "Weekend at Bernie's" its way down the street. Maybe use a nice E36 frame instead, you know, those electrics don't care.

[@qlan-9386]

if it's any consolation it is not and never was a real 935. Bisi mentions that it started as an '84 911, and now has a newly made Kremer body kit. To cut up a real 935 race car would be a crime, especially doing it for something like this. I think it is repeatedly called a 935 because of the clickbait potential. "he did what to a 935??"

This car was destined for the crusher. It was saved and reimagined. Nobody will care about old cars collecting dust in some garage or museum if they are not out on the road or track.

This Porsche is the real Deal

[@arnomaas6452]

Bisi is always a perfectionist and his future projects sound very interesting !

Amazing looking golf cart.

Like it or not, electric is the future. It’s cheaper to build and requires less maintenance. It’s the equivalent of the world going from mechanical to digital watches.

…that would blow away any TT

Bisimoto, the example of what is doing something you love. Side note, if he ever lectured I could listen to this dude for hours. He could simplify quantum mechanics.

[@loulopez4658]

Wow! What a great episode James! This guys really knows his stuff, and comes across so very knowledgeable, and articulate about the EV technology, and it's future. He reminds me of the time you had Christian Konessigge on this website. They are both for sure leaders of the pack in their industry. It's so refreshing that you finally have a great self made american story on here. I see now why people from all over the world are coming to him to convert their car. If I had the money I diffenitley use his company. Great job , and kudos to him for doing his part to help save the planet. Love your you tube channel J! Would to see more of them.... Peace! P.S. I love those rim details on the front wheels., and the paint pattern.

[@Timah0212]

What is self-made American about this story?

[@loulopez4658]

@@Timah0212 Hello, the part when he said his parents are not from this country?! How he was able to full fill his version of the american dream. How one who comes to this country , and can accomplish his dream doing what he loves to do. Watch it again.......pft!
