I Made A Huge Mistake...

[@PaulSMilligan]

You're a man of integrity, this could happen to anyone. Hopefully GM knows that. We just appreciate your content and hope they continue to invite you to see unreleased vehicles so we can continue watching!

[@EddieX]

Thanks for the kind words Paul

[@CarYouTuberNews]

Agree 100%, honest mistake and an honest apology. That’s all anyone can do. He’s done it hopefully he moves on and so do those that mean important things to him.

[@Chris-hw4mq]

@PaulSMilligan how is he a man of integrity when he screwed GM and the other journalists by prereleasing the video ahead of them all

[@Maxwell1989]

​@@EddieXhey Eddie I wanted to know if you would help review our beautiful Hawaiian design apparel my mom created we will be donating 20% of our proceeds to Lahaina if I could get your email ?

[@breakupgoogle]

GM dont hate ya boi Eddie! we know he's clean cut guy

[@zontetaji506]

Actually give him a zr1

[@speed6725]

@@zontetaji506LOL good luck with that

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

No they hate him. There’s a Tahoe in front of his house with violin cases. Actually he is very sincere.

[@SBishop818]

Honesty the hype it created was pretty awesome. The entire day people were debating wether the video was real.

[@andrewneuhalfen5887]

Eddie, as a business owner myself, I feel your pain but also see how humbly you see your own faults. I hope the execs at GM see this video as not only an apology, but a peer into the real you. You are a great guy and will keep crushing!

[@Foregrlz]

Start using military time ......24hr clock system alleviates a.m. / p.m. factor ......can't let this happen

[@0828csman]

Most wouldn't make a video like this, good on you for doing so!!

[@EddieX]

Thank you. It was the right thing to do imo

[@720sobsessed6]

You weren't the only one Eddie, don't worry, still a huge honor to get that vid out!

[@EddieX]

Thanks!

[@siggasigga9036]

Respect for talking about it. Always come here first to see new Corvettes being released.

[@Squall1800]

@eddiex I have some close who is dying of cancer, the fact that he was able to see your video was a gift! He said the car community is in good hands when GM relseases that beast! We all know it was a mistake, and you know what, it's okay! We're still goona rock with you, so keep the videos coming! If you get a press vehicle, don't hit a light pole but most of all have fun! We appreciate the all of your content, and the hardwork!

[@davebartosiak985]

S#it happens bro. Hopefully you had a great time on the cruise. It's not the end of the world. Remind Chevy that they've themselves had to recall millions of vehicles. You just had to recall one video. All good buddy. Soldier on!!!

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

GM, Please Give Eddie a break! We all make mistakes and thats what it was. Eddie, we love ya. I did the same thing with my texts and woke up my wife after her 10 hr shift. Lord heal.his heart

[@CarsUncovered]

The car is so fast it got there 12 hours early. -GM

[@Vhadc]

Everyone makes mistakes Eddie, we’re human!

[@EddieX]

Very true. Best thing to do is to learn from a mistake and never make it again!

[@GuitarExpress]

Nothing to worty about it man, we are with you 👍🏼

[@wavehogger]

Ignore the negative comments Eddie. Been a fan since the Parker duo days. Keep your chin up and move forward.

[@lro5159]

When one has a “career defining moment” the best thing you can do is lean into it, own it, learn from it, and move on. Not only will you survive this, you will grow from it. It sucks but we have ALL been there more than once. Keep the great content coming!

[@sonicmoj1]

No one got cancer.. No one was killed from this early release. It's a damn piece of metal. We're not taking this to our grave. Don't sweat it at all Eddie. We got you!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Accidents happen, Eddie. You're still a rockstar and you handled this with grace. I'm sure GM understands!

[@KarashiGensai]

This is why everyone should be using the 24-hour clock.

[@ericmarentette]

One of the reasons I've continued to enjoy your content since you went solo is your high level of honesty and integrity. I am so sorry this happened. As you told your story I could feel how deeply it hurt you. You've got tons of loyal supporters and I am one of them. Sending you strength and love 🙏

[@tonymcflattie2450]

Am/pm is the worst. Use 24 hours

[@barryking4533]

It was a honest mistake. Stay strong brother.

[@TVBCStudios]

Eddie, don't overreact. Chevrolet knows you're not the kind of guy that purposely breaks rules. You'll be fine. There was no harm at all to Chevrolet as a company. Anyone who says otherwise is just being malicious intentionally. Continue putting your all into your content and Be Blessed as you enjoy your journey!

[@TurninTrackOut]

Might be worth formatting your time settings to military style so you cannot mistake AM/PM

[@shadowfourgolf]

I hope GM/Chevy understands. Keep posting. Side note: It was cool to see you on other posts with the car.

[@CarYouTuberNews]

Damn man, I must say I don’t watch your channel much but I did see someone else say you had posted a video and I even went a looked for it on your page and it was gone and I was so confused. Sorry this happened man but the important thing is to own up to it and you’ve done that. Remember, that’s ALL anyone can ask of you and you’ve also apologized up and down I assume so I hope the people that matter in your world wiil accept your apologies…know it was an honest mistake and get over it and show some forgiveness. For yourself, let it go. Your friends gave you the right advice, your life and the world will improve and get better. You know who and what you are and that is what matters. Rebuild trust and your relationships by being consistent and everything will be ok. You just made me a bigger fan. 🙏🏻

[@reset1101]

What makes a person is not to avoid mistakes, cause thats impossible. Is how you deal with them. And I think you dealt with yours with integrity and honesty. That speaks volumes of how you are as a person and as a professional. I hope brands and people keep trusting you moving forward, cause you deserve it.

[@byates59]

Yep, I saw your ZR1 video early Thursday morning and it was AWESOME! LOL Anyways, learn from it but don't worry about it, everyone knows that you are a great guy and that you would have never released it early on purpose! Take it easy bro!

[@boomtownJ]

Bro, we know you. It will be ok. We support you. You’re a stand up guy. This will pass.

[@aswang17]

Sorry this happened man. I can literally feel the anxiety as you talk through the damage control. Everyone has their panic moments when having to correct a mistake. The great thing is you identified the issue in your process and fixed it. That should be good enough to restore your reputation.

[@G-Rated]

If the judge needs me to write a letter to vouch for you just let me know! You’re one of very few unbiased car enthusiasts and reviewers that we have - somebody who just has a love for the cars. We gotta protect you at all costs! The other guys who follow won’t admit it but, We love you, Eddie. 💪🏾💯

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Brink of speed will write one too. Get Eddie in the Klink

[@18PGAbound]

This is why we all love your channel, it would have been easy to sweep this under the rug but you manned up and did the right thing. Sending positive vibes your way!

[@philiphardy9023]

I missed a plane due to messing up 24 hour time with my 18 month old daughter and there were no flights home for 2 weeks. We all make stupid mistakes, hopefully the consequence isnt harsh. Good on you for being open and honest, your integrity will serve you in these times.

[@PatsGarageOnline]

I feel for you. I hope you can get through this without beating yourself up too much.

[@1415Challenger]

that messes me up on my gaming channel all the time! it defaults to 12:00 AM and you have to scroll all the way down for PM. When you are in a hurry, sometimes you just accidentally click on the AM.

[@prakbis]

No need to apologize. Shit happens. GM will still make money. Dealers are still going to mark it up by 100pct or more 😂. Your viewers admire your honesty. Great work.

[@chetbaigh2409]

I’m glad to have helped for what it’s worth. I can definitely verify that he reached out to me to do damage control. He’s truly honest about it being a mistake. Crap happens. Good response.

[@mtnman1984]

Glad you had some good support. Once I noticed your video being alone in ZR1 content, I also had an "oh no" moment. Wish you the best going forward. One of the best ZR1 vids coming from a Z06 owner.

[@grandmaster720]

❤❤ Eddie is an Og and a promoter of the brand make him get a zr1 as punishment….😊😊

[@ImportDomestic2006]

Well, I’m not angry with you Eddie mistakes happen. Hopefully GM executives will forgive you. Especially the Corvette team.

[@minthouse6338]

To save time for a lot of people watching. Eddie messed up, he leaked the ZR1 video too early because he picked 7am instead of 7pm. This is why I always use military time, you can't mess up with 19:00 You could have made your point in a minute instead of stretching it out to 8 minutes and to be honest, leaking a video 12 hours early ain't all that bad. Be even worst had you posted it 5 days ahead of the authorized time.

[@duffydon1741]

I have said this earlier, Eddie is just a simply cool dude, thank you for the integrity mate!!

[@AutoNeurotics]

Always loved your approach! These things happen, this video was a class act. I’m confident you will mend any relationships you need to based on your integrity. Keep your head up!

[@traceyharris2573]

I have been following your videos since day one, and prior to creating your own channel. We met briefly at Triple F Event II. You are a person of integrity and equally genuine on camera as well as off camera. Furthermore, you are an ambassador of the Chevrolet brand. However unfortunate the circumstances, GM should keep you on the privileged list of content creators for future product launches, such as the Zora and others. You bring a lot of honesty to the automotive enthusiast community. Regardless of the outcome, your subscribers will stay with you.

[@Mursedave]

Kudos to you Eddie! Love the ownership and the way you are handling yourself. I’ll always support your channel…seem like a great dude!

[@jokerface4491]

Stop AM/PM clock time it's outdated and uses 24hours system to avoid all these problems for the future .

[@dnice362]

I saw it and thank you! Wish you the best with GM!

[@grcjr352]

Don’t beat yourself up about it man. It was a simple mistake with no malice intended at all. We all know you’re not “that guy”. GM should keep in mind that “to err is human, to forgive, divine!” Keep the videos coming!

[@albundy5992]

Cue Parker and Salomondrin to rib you about this for the next 8 years.

[@jasonwalrond2729]

Mistakes happen Eddie. GM knows you’re a honorable man. You handled the situation perfectly and took full responsibility. Don’t beat yourself up.

[@mikeritchie492]

Man you were well known around the internet that morning. Crap happens man can’t imagine what was going through your head when you realized what happened. Love the videos chin up accidents happen unfortunately.

[@charliejonesjr5518]

Oh Eddie. Your lack of eye contact and numerous other visual cues tells me it was a little more than an... accident. 😂 oh well. You definitely took the flame out of them that day. I kinda like it I'm not not gonna lie.

[@jayjones3458]

Maybe GM should go against the "norm" & give Eddie X an allocation for one!! Releasing this ahead of time did absolutely NOTHING to "hurt" GM or the ZR1 excitement in any way! If anything it probably made some news outlets & others more aware of the car itself that wouldn't normally cover cars! It's not like "oh i don't want one now> !! LOL Keep your head up Eddie!! Love the content!

[@MrOnimusha1790]

As my math teacher would say, "Shift happens motherfunctions" all good

[@nowayoutstp4]

For the Chevy publication team, be nice to fast Eddy please 🙏

[@PacManChan2211]

Your video was great! It was great when I watched it early, and when I watched it again after you re-posted it at the proper time. I hope GM takes it easy on you, because you provide such good content. Its cool you posted this apology video as well. Not many would have the fortitude to do so. Keep posting, you are one of my favorites!

[@Jay-tc9on]

Obviously you didn't mean it, I feel your character comes across pretty well on video and you seem like a great guy. Hopefully GM agree and let you back because you do a great job of making content that is informative without being over the top. Any chance you get a ZR1... Guessing you can't answer that yet. Best of luck.

[@EddieX]

I hope so too. No clue on ZR1, no idea if I could even remotely afford it either haha

[@johnelegant1727]

Eddie, you are good person with integrity and a good heart. We all know that your mistake was inadvertent.

[@AJUSA1]

Okay, that's fine brother. Thanks for explaining and clearing it up. We weren't sure if someone else hacked you or got it somehow and leaked it or what. An honest mistake is fine and no big deal at all. If anything it served to build hype throughout the day for the car. It's specs are so phenomenal that it really doesn't matter when it gets announced. What it is matters far more than when it gets announced. Keep your head up. Seriously, the morning announcement really added to the hype because we only saw tiny bits and pieces until later at night. It worked out fine for Chevy even if they were upset. Sometime companies intentionally leak stuff to build hype. It's an actual strategy. Don't sweat it. The ZR1 is awesome. That's all we care about. The tangibles

[@michalkubicki9553]

Thank, man! I was surprised to see the video. Never mind the embargo. The whole world saw it and started reposting.

[@paulfairchild8942]

Mistakes happen. Its not life and death. No harm done.

[@Suresh-ib4co]

Even Michael Jordan missed free throws…. You are one of the best. It happens. Respect for the video explaining.

[@Innovativeindustries]

You are a good person. If anyone has a problem with your honest mistake there is something wrong with them.

[@AirRyanTX]

Don't worry about it too much, Eddie. It happened to Motor Trend just as well. In the future GM should just release everything first thing in the morning on whatever date. Most of the events that GM was even showing at 7:30pm ET were all taped anyways.

[@abrahamrobinsonii2483]

Keep ya head up... it happens, and your explanation makes sense. If that doesn't work... blame CrowdStrike...

[@tonywong303]

I knew it was a mistake the first minute I saw the video. You are doing great don’t worry too much about it.

[@noisyf1]

Eddie is such a stand up guy and owns his mistake. He is a true car enthusiast and I am hopeful GM understands that it was not malicious whatsoever.

[@Athithan_2000]

I watched Throttle House’s video on the ZR1

[@mcviegas2566]

You messed up Bad, you're a very, very bad man! Reminds me of Seinfeld Pakastani restaurant owner. Lol... 😆 🤣 😂 😹, no worries, this to shall pass!

[@mackyj388]

I don't think anyone who watches your channel was up set at all to see the video. I actually totally enjoyed it. I was just worried about what Chevy would think. I know you are trying to ramp up your channel, so I thought it would be a setback for you. I think you are fine. Actually, you helped Chevy build up buzz around the car when you think about it. They should be happy you accidentally help build buzz. Let's keep moving forward and not look back. You have a great channel.

[@DAKID504SXM]

X mark's the spot and he sure did, feelings and emotions got in his way so now an official statement(excuse).😊

[@Emadavid]

It happens buddy, we're still support. Thanks for your effort to deliver great automobile content

[@got_gt3612]

24h format, why we on AM/PM 😅 . We all humans mistakes happen. Love your channel.

[@dingleberryfarmer]

I think we all knew ahead time it was a mistake. Great Video!

[@BrinkofSpeed]

I figured it was exactly what you just explained had happened. I’m sure GM understood after they heard your explanation. Hopefully things continue upward and forward for you from here on out. Keep up your hard work brother! 💪

[@Josh102697315]

Motortrend did the same thing. Dont sweat it.

[@AYO_KO]

Man look, Motor trend did too. Besides this new ZR1 will probably be marked up to used SF90 prices anyway. You’ll be fine, I don’t think you’re gonna miss out on anything if you weren’t guaranteed a MSRP allocation from GM directly!!

[@longrider50]

We all make mistakes. Sometimes technology works against us. GM, I've been following EddieX for sometime now & he's certainly a man of integrity.

[@UnderwaterFishFilms]

Eddie dont listen to all the jealous people, youre as human as anyone else and humans will make mistakes, nothing to feel bad about. The people dragging you down are just people who wish they had nice cars like you!

[@adrenalineride7683]

Eddie, your not the last one to do this. I remember that Car & Driver did this with the Z06. GM, Forgive Eddie. Eddie, forgive yourself. I hope you can go on another vacation soon as we know from your emotions shown here, that it was interrupted.

[@theclutch19]

Honest mistake. But you know you're toast regardless.

[@Texas_Clay]

I got you Eddie. I am not mad. You’re a good man to own it. Few would. Chin up. All my best Clay

[@snakerb]

I don’t know if this helps, but I hope you don’t let this get you too down nor ruin your relationship with Chevy. You’ll bounce back from this!

[@alexluke84]

24h format of scheduling would save those kind of mistakes...but you made my day better, I saw ZR1 in less than 10hours before others 😎

[@Bookman11702]

Stuff happens. Keep your head up! Really enjoy your content.

[@EddieX]

I appreciate it!

[@autovice7689]

I feel terrible for you Eddie. Honest mistake. Do what you can to stay positive and keep churning. Hope it all passes soon for you!

[@HtriZzy_]

GM should definitely forgive this. I plan on getting a c8z/c8zr1(one can dream) because of you. Much love brother

[@lbeats442]

Man, you made a mistake. Things happen. I still support you

[@HudsonWislerYT]

That’s a gut punch, so sorry man. Hope GM stakeholders don’t hold it against you, shit like this happens to everyone. Hope you were still able to enjoy your vacation

[@tritus131]

%99 of the people watching that video can't even get an allocation for that car even if they have the $ GM can chill. Shit happens, own up to it and move on. If GM makes big deal out of it and pulls your allocation you still have your Z.

[@SupercarRanch]

Keep your head up, Eddie. Stuff happens.

[@integrafreak1]

I felt so bad watching that video lol But I HAD to 😂😂

[@mcviegas2566]

Great humility sir, stay humble! Now forgive yourself!

[@LIMuscleBlackdevil]

Jeez, I'm sorry that happened. What makes it worse is it happened when you were finally on a vacation and supposed to not worry or stress about everything. Gonna have to go on a do-over vacation.

[@t-roy2418]

I seen it that morning at 7:30 and tried to watch it again and it was gone. So I think you took the right steps after you found out…

[@mylifeinshorts22]

Eddie bro you made a mistake, it's okay we're human we make mistakes every time and the ZR1 is a beautiful Masterpiece

[@tuomasholo]

Not the end of the world.

[@ehyojono]

I hope your brand relationships wont see this as a major red flag, instead a learning mistake and see the value you do bring to the table now and going forward.

[@sickjohnson]

We were angry...wow...that is messed up on it's own? To me it is a meh thing...shit happens right? Didn't you pull it down as soon as the text messages came in at 07:35 am that morning? By the way it was a great video of an incredible car Eddie, fulled of genuine excitement and enthusiasm. That alone tells me it was not deliberate...let along the repercussions could be life changing...there is no logic in thinking it was deliberate.
