Stellantis, Nio, Mercedes & more Breaking News

[@jackcoats4146]

Love you guys humor.

[@alexmckenna1171]

SO cruel to poor old Stellantis :-) Kicking them when their tyres have gone flat.. I hear their forthcoming technical advance is a hybrid incorporating a gigantic steel spring, wound round the back axle, which can be wound every morning, like a clock. Ground breaking!

[@gregbailey45]

I come here for the entertainment as much as the technology. Brian, you're a star!

Inboard rear brakes (as on my old Alfa Romeo Alfettas) are great for reducing unsprung weight but maintenance is such a pain. If they do last a lifetime with a dyson vacuum sucking out the dust, great. Otherwise it will be a $5,000 brake job.

The Li Mega has a new CATL NMC battery that does 10-80% in 10 minutes.

OMG, the lemon tree Christmas lights. I'm hearing the Charlie Brown music in my head. Hilarious!

[@IndigenousEarthling101]

Teleoperation and manual operation are both training inputs.

[@chrisschenk5513]

Inboard brakes have been tried on some European companies to reduce un-sprung weight. What happens if you break a half shaft, no brakes for that wheel.

19:17 Robot named Jack for changing tires? I guess Mark saw that Tom Hanks post-apocalyptic movie.

[@petersilva037]

1970's Audi's had inline brakes... they uh... don't anymore... The advantage I see from inline brakes is being able to capture the heat in the winter... or maybe even harvest the heat somehow to generate electricity.

[@reengineerit]

Really like the CANOO design. Still hoping I see them on the streets some day.

[@FutureAzA]

I hope so too!

20:25 One verbal command I am often shouting at FSD: "JUST ..... STAY ..... IN ..... THIS ......%&#*ing..... LANE!!!"

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

If I was considering, I would wait for the New Tesla Model Y Long range? In 2-3 months, hopefully?

[@universeisundernoobligatio3283]

When FSD is driving to a destination a feature would be when you are at a stop sign or traffic light, I could alter the route by using the turn signal while stoped.

[@scottmcshannon6821]

i use the turn signal when FSD is wanting to pass and our exit is within a couple of miles.

Almost as many lemons as lights!

Ho ho ho. Happy Holidays. 🎉

[@RudiJock]

Hey guys. Great episode. Thanks. It may not matter to you, but as a professional photographer/videographer, perhaps work a little bit on framing the camera on yourselves according to the rule of thirds for a better 'professional look'. Eyes one third down from the top. Watch any 'professional' broadcast and see they limit the amount of headroom by having the eyes (or collection of eyes at an average) one third down from the top. Cheers!

[@FutureAzA]

Thanks for the tips!

[@mikadavies660]

The VW / Mercedes back up camera hidden behind the badge is a great idea.

[@FutureAzA]

Unless you want the car to have vision while in motion.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Happy Thanksgiving to BOTH of you - eh ! ! !

[@FutureAzA]

Same to you!

Tesla shows no non-foundation series Cybertrucks in inventory anywhere. Are they selling every regular CT they build, with essentially zero days CTs are sitting at Tesla's sales lots? All other car companies generally have 85+ days that inventory is sitting on their sales lots. All those bears/short sellers saying CT sales are slowing down due to lack of demand for the Cybertruck are BS, based on Tesla's days in inventory data.

The new mY rear camera housing may work better for rain but better it won’t help with snow build up. 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like snow alright.

21:28 "very deeply unethical ... but you know, Marketing" LOL uh, I don't think that would normally be called "Marketing", it might even be considered hacking by some courts. Just because it is easy, doesn't make it legal -- except in California, of course.

[@machoopichoo2]

Break inside the motor is typical German engineering...where can we find complexity? Why not hub motors, MB? Where does any dust go, I wonder? Also, no part is the best part, taken to the extreme - no car at all. Just call it the invisible car. Sort of an Emperor's New Clothes thing.

The Electric Vicking's videos are on average 7 to 8 min. He gets more views, I wonder fit that is part of it.

[@FutureAzA]

Herbert's are 25-30 and he also gets more views.

[@3184Patrick]

inboard wet brakes is a genius idea. I suspect it will be on all EV's in a few years. fyi these are already on almost all heavy duty equipment such as backhoes and tractors. The "dust" and heat goes into the oil which is separate from the motor or gearbox oil.

[@snookmeister55]

If you're right that it's a genius idea, then it should become the industry norm. However, this wouldn't influence me to buy a Stellantis. Brake shoes seem so 20th century.

[@АгронДепартье]

These are extremely slow vehicles...

[@3184Patrick]

@@АгронДепартье true but the regen does 99% of the braking. these would more be for holding the car(park brake) and assist regen. and as a backup incase regen fails i suppose. but really they will hardly ever be used.

Will the Canoe EV have its own paddles or will they be a mandatory option? Row row row your EV right on up the street. Merely merely Merely merely EVs are such a treat.

[@FutureAzA]

I'd pay extra for them if they'd just sell them already.

[@machoopichoo2]

No, no, no. It's not the Model 3 that will have a battery that can charge in eight minutes. That's Toyota. They said so.

Heavy sigh.

[@machoopichoo2]

@@FutureAzA It's amazing that a single person, born with a silver spoon in mouth, can ruin an entire country's economy. It's never happened before and is definitely not happening now. 😁 I honestly feel A. Toyota will be singularly responsible for a massive amount of hardship in Japan. That said, I am not sure that even an epic leader could save any legacy auto company from doom.

KZbin could be a good place for Optimus training, potentially. I wonder if it can be scraped.
