Ryan - Your channel has really evolved into the best, most accurate, professional presentation on EV's and related topics on KZbin by far! Congrats. No misinformation, no screaming, no nonsense. Very well presented and enjoyable to listen to. Keep up the great work! All the best.

[@joegibbs2508]

Well done, I wonder about his comment that the Toyota was the only true partnership. didn't Tesla partner up with Mercedes also?

[@T10107]

Agreed, you earned a new sub! I just clicked off of an auto reviewer screaming into the mic like his audience was 75+. Good job Ryan. Informative and professional.

[@6973EBA]

Agreed, he doesn’t scream out random rumors..

[@raymondlawson955]

4680 didn’t work out like they thought. Better let that Chinese company with golden battery build them. Zeeker that’s it. Do everything like Tesla.

[@WilliamAArnett]

I owned one of the original Roadsters. Of all the cars I’ve owned before or since, it’s still the one that first in my heart.

[@kaycontent9597]

The only news that’s important now is the new Model S/X. If they can reverse charge/wirelessly charge and have 450 range.

[@terrancecloverfield6791]

I think some additional news would be an announcement that Tesla has achieved the closed loop manufacturing process for batteries. People are still scared of the out of warranty battery replacement costs.

[@terrancecloverfield6791]

I think when solid state batteries can be viable is when energy density will really take off.

[@yslee1401]

@@kaycontent9597 glad that PRC branded vehicles are not sold in North America. Volvo and Polestar slipped through the cracks, just a matter of time they are banned as well

[@bobh9652]

Perhaps they will get the giant 3% range increase as Juniper.

[@myutyoube]

I recently read a headline ( I don't remember the source ) that the Cybertruck, in a sense was a test platform for what could/will be implemented in their other models. Muy interesante! Steer by wire in the Model S. Yes please. 48 Volt system in the S, yes please!

[@flattire707]

Most excellent review. Thanks. Love my two Model 3LR/FSD cars.

[@rhettoracle9679]

It would be nice if the secret weapon if Tesla battery can reach up too 500miles 😊

[@ssing7113]

And then used by .0001% of people on a daily basis

[@frankcoffey]

In 1976 Stanley Whittingham and his colleagues at Exxon demonstrated the first rechargeable lithium ion battery. Yes, THAT Exxon. That's reading the writing on the wall before the wall was built.

[@duanebonney]

Brilliant Video, Ryan. Thanks for your time in making this.

[@peterjohn5834]

Superb report.

[@PatrickCPalmer]

Wow! Really interesting presentation. A lot of info and very in depth. However, I think we’d all be ok if you gave a rounded off guesstimate of batteries produced as your numbers are not exact anyway. Keep up the great content.

[@stargazer3828]

Surprised you didn't mention the 2014-2016 Cadillac ELR EV @ 14:40 which was based off of the Volt platform and was cool looking, but way overpriced!

[@CDKladis]

Revenge of the electric car is another good movie. It’s a lot like the one you were just talking about but more in detail.

[@elainebradley8213]

We drive a Tesla. My son loves his Volt.

[@kaycontent9597]

Also if they can add a heating element around the cameras of the S/X to make FSD a thing north of the Carolinas

[@nononsenseBennett]

I think the biggest story about Tesla is its retail investors and the lack of confidence of conventional investors. Faith and confidence by loyal initial investors are making ordinary people quite well off. You can't say that about many other companies.

[@bryankerr619]

Just purchased a new model Y and love it. Go Elon!

[@AwesomeSauceShow]

When I watch reviews on Out of Specs review of all the Chinese EV's and what they offer for the same price as a Model Y, I'm really tempted to go for one next after my Model Y, Great build quality, insane charging curve of C5-C6 the new Zeekr, that has a sustained charging curve of 400 kw still at 75-80% full battery, something unimaginable in a Tesla. My Catl battery has a peak of 250kw below 10%, then drops off, and at 60-70% charge it falls below 100 kw. Tesla may have the volume advantage in battery space, but the tech is already behind. Even the BYD blade battery in some EU Model Y's charges sustained 175 kw till 70% full. I wanted to buy the Juniper Model Y, but with practically no battery upgrade after 5 years on the market, I don't think so.

[@karla6999]

These fast charging abilities are impressing but this doesn‘t mean automatically the battery is capable of it without sacrificing lifetime. We know that the 8 years of warranty are only a fraction of the expected lifetime. What if the just bring lifetime closer to warranty limit?

[@donsmith717]

Your episodes are easy to listen to and informative however they're so full of phrases such as your "guestimate is about 1,238.756" .......... Really? all that to say "nearly one and a quarter million". Some day you should figure out how many minutes these use of exact numbers costs each listener. It's really tiring waiting for you to finish each longlist of numbers. We all can read. OK, that said, thank you for all your research and your great delivery of your script -- notwithstanding the a obove.

[@thiseye]

And he says it twice!

[@alanrivaldo-h]

Also using the word "less" when "fewer" is the proper term for describing countable items.

[@teslatim78]

Then why in the hell did it cost my insurance over $18k for a replacement on my 21 LR model 3!!!

[@jackrichard9866]

Ryan, great channel. I am Canadian and follow Tesla and Space X very closely. I own Tesla stock, have two Power Walls in the house and use Starlink. This developing trade war between Canada and the USA has me worried. The week before the tariffs where implemented,Tesla raised the price of the car I was going to purchase by $8,000.00 and the Canadian Federal government discontinued (without notice) the $5,000.00 tax rebait. This is a $13,000.00 price increase. I can't help but wonder if this is a "screw you Canada" policy. Our whole country strongly dislikes President Trump and the trade war he has started. This dislike has now painted his new best friend Elon, with the same brush. Tough to be a Tesla and Elon advocate these days! Tesla's Canadian sales will crash and as a stock holder I would ask the company to try to fix this.

[@jamesweber7001]

I don’t think the ‘whole country dislikes president Trump.” In my circle of Canadian friends and colleagues, they love ❤️ him! Perhaps you should talk to some people outside of the metropolitan regions, like people who were affected by the trucker issues during the virus lockdowns and others harmed by the current Canadian administration 😢

[@larrystalica4037]

I think Trump will be good for Canada. You guys need to clean up that horrible government. I wish the Canadians were as upset about the 20% carbon tax. Trumps goal isn’t a trade war. He wants Canada to do some things that benefit us all in the continent. Your government has been too quick to fall in line with the global elite and has a bad case of the woke mind virus. I’m hopeful for you guys. Good luck.

[@BobPritchard]

Great channel Ryan but I think you'll need to broaden your coverage beyond Tesla. Q1 is going to be the first of many disastrous quarters for Tesla due to Musk waging war against his own target market. Such a self inflicted wound but your channel will be just as valuable covering more brands.

[@mxuther]

jeeez... I like your content, but sometimes you talk too much to get to a simple point!

[@CC-iq2pe]

Time for Tesla to dump Musk. He is bad for Tesla and all companies attached to his name.

[@jeffhanson8216]

For those that need a referral code, mine is in my KZbin bio! Don’t work for the new model Y (yet) unfortunately

[@notcherbane3218]

Actually Tesla is losing market shares in China and they've been forced to reduce the price of their electric cars in China by 40% You might want to update your information

[@yslee1401]

PRC BEVs are also known as Temu Teslas. They have no resale value at all and cannot be traded-in at used car dealerships in Australia due to fire risks nullifying insurance policies

[@yslee1401]

Being seen in a PRC branded vehicle is a reputation kamikaze. It’s called Temu Teslas in many markets

People that have issues with Elon have their own issues. Elon can do many things, he’s not one dimensional like most people are trained to be.

[@dailydriver9911]

I wouldn’t say “people have their own issues” if they have a problem with racists, sexists, and a guy with a God complex, but feel free to pray to him while at it

[@xaviermartin15]

Sorry man, Elon is costing you subscribers. I’ve been a loyal viewer (alerts on for all your post) and I love your context but I don’t want to hear anything about Tesla right now. I just wanted to provide you with the feedback because I’m sure I’m not the only one. Good luck brother.
