TEST DRIVING the ELECTRIC CAR of the FUTURE with John Cadogan and MGUY, it EVen has ENGINE SOUNDS!

[@mguytv]

Hey mate it’s been fantastic catching up with you over here! Great video!

[@uweklasen1037]

as I said before: I am so exited to see You together 🤣 Well, we love australia…my wife and me have been travelling criss cross australia, drove over 150.000 km during 15 holidays in over 20 years…🥰

[@TheMacMaster]

Thanks MGUY. Not only do you know your cars, you know your fish and chips. 👍🏼

[@johnbrace4719]

Was great to see such nice people join forces said to lee wasn't keen on the ev evangelist you both met up with but what a great meet now looking forward to Aussie fish n chips you being an ex pat I'm sure lee will be impressed great stuff guys many months ago when I found your site and then hoped you 2 could meet you both need a site we can all watch good luck and god bless

[@RobertSmith-di5ll]

With J Cadogan - my hero

[@robineniffer5578]

in all the years watching u tube channels.i have never seen anyone increase there subscribers by one thousand a day really amazing

[@jimmichell5059]

Lee, that was absolutely awesome to see you guys in the video together! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@stephendavenport1414]

Been following John Cadogan for years. Great to see you meet him

[@david-reason]

Always great to hear John speak, in his positive Australian accent.

[@thejacksons3019]

Same principle when I pegged a piece of cardboard on my Raleigh Grifter pedal bike, as a kid in the 80s, to hit the spokes of the rear wheel. Turned it in to a motorbike instantly…..

[@technohamster4783]

I do follow mguy and auto expert. Johns videos and his style are fantastic one of my favourites.

[@stevebosun7410]

Hello Guys, making broom broom noises is all well and good, but it still doesn't address range anxiety, charging infrastructure, initial cost, massive depreciation, huge repair bills, high insurance cost, thermal runaway, etc. Plus the stigma of owning and driving an EV.

[@geraldkoth654]

And the risk associated with all those throwing the keys in a bowl and STDs.

[@jonhigginson4096]

Hey nice one Lee, hooking up with Mguy! Fabulous stuff pal. Love this dude.

[@iainmacks]

I have to say your Aussie vlogs are bloody good mate.

[@doughavard5130]

Another excellent video. Sydney has changed a bit since last I was there in 1985. The only thing that could have made this a better video would to have Geoffbuyscars in there with you all. I follow all of you, so thanks for everything.

[@matthewgodwin3050]

That was absolutely brilliant Lee. Three of my favourite KZbinrs, in a great location, talking proper sense. Great stuff. Not sure about the Hyundai Moronic though. I like that it looks a little bit like the Talbot Horizon from back in the day, but that synthesized engine sound is just plain tragic. I'd rather have the old Talbot. It looks even better, sounds better, and would be considerably more fun. It would also be a lot easier to refuel, a lot more reliable, and a lot less fire prone. It's a no brainer really.

[@waynelevett3632]

I totally agree it's a total non brainer 😂.

[@garymillerlcs]

Yes compared with that battery thing, the Talbot Horizon would seem like a Rolls Royce!

[@davidgalt8107]

GREAT! Three of my favourite u-tubers in one vid.

[@johnmcfarland9630]

John's summary of what the futureof EVs should be was spot on.

[@Spar_Hawk]

Looking forward to seeing John's full review....should be titillating

[@Kenben451]

John Cadogan is fantastic. Another fantastic vlog !!

[@grahamwinn979]

I didn't expect to see John Cadogan. From an Engineering perspective you where in safe hands. It was like watching Mad Max behind the Wheel. With the movie sound track composed by Hanz Zimmer. Picture and Sound so real it's like being there.

[@Spar_Hawk]

Not sure if there is a subtle fake digital mode that simulates engine vibrations but once introduced, it may very well convert the loyal petrol heads.

[@grahamejohn6847]

I like that car, yes John is a legend and he pulls no punches. All in all a very interesting video. Gold Star for Mr MacMaster👍👍👍

[@justicebroker2271]

The EV is like our Australian Prime Minister, it’s pretending to be something it isn’t.

[@leebiddies106]

😂😂😂😂 No truer words spoken….!!

[@timmyssweet]

Well, they aren't pretending to be dictators. Let's start ranging. Firstly, our defence force is under maned and out gunned. We don't have enough tanks to give away. Those tanks are still in brand new condition in an inland location. They should never have been given a retirement date. We need hundreds to protect Australia. 59? isn't enough. Secondly, the elite class have developed a cult whereby the inside violence and hatred against the other. As a result, I expect more division, crime, murder etc. For example, take council's hard stance on tents that house the homeless. Look at Canberra's police force that either don't know the law or don't abide by it seen during COVID. Take the government's comments on our deceased soldiers during the recent copper crash. A downed registered Australia aircraft during training was given the comment by politicians 'they knew what they signed up for'. Thirdly, the immigration rate is a disgrace to our diggers. They let everyone in that they fought against. If you go to Griffith, it will feel like a different country. The money pours in because it can't fail. If it fails, the Government's multiculturalism fails. Everything is fine with money, but what if China doesn't bounce back? What if we fall on hard times? If that happens, multiculturalism will fail. Australia has nice scenery, but I wouldn't live here by choice. And, I won't fight for this country. I'll fight ounce invaded. Our front line will fail. That's fact.

[@bradleywilkinson8882]

But like democracy itself!

[@dianeshepherd7913]

Thanks for the video, boys and there toys, if they wanted a quiet electric car which is what they are, why make one that sounds like a petrol boy racer, overpriced i.m sure if it ever gets produced. Not for me ! 😊

[@gazzafloss]

Ten times smarter than Albo...

[@oldman9545]

I hoped you would meet up with MGUY while you were 'down under', and yes I am subed to him and you for a long time now. Great to see this!

[@GeoffBuysCars]

I have serious FOMO right now!!

[@TheMacMaster]

You were missed. ❤️

[@Theurgicnick]

Ahh Sydney. One of my favourite cities that I’ve visited hands down. Great vid Lee. No messing with words in this one. ☝️

[@lindavolk9958]

Great to see you meeting up with Mguy, Lee. I hope Geoff doesn't mind you got to him first! 😉 The car? Fun maybe, but I think it would be like fast food, ultimately unsatisfying.

[@garymillerlcs]

Great video. It’s so good to see you meeting up in person. Hopefully this will boost both your channels. Of course having 4 people in the car will not make much difference considering the massive weight of the batteries! Thank you for great entertainment and information.

[@spizzenergi2292]

Mguy is a top bloke. Love to see him do a test drive from Sydney to Perth with 4 people and luggage in a Tesla and give us the stats…aircon running at tops. Nice guy never seen in a social atmosphere

[@CMDRSweeper]

My only comment is, you should have brought Geoff! Better pack him in the suitcase the next time :D MGuy, MacMaster and Geoff Buys Cars around the same table would have been an epic uncut video to watch the conversation on EVs.

[@prosperity8]

Yes I agree Geoff is a legend. With him being on holiday with his family there's a bit of withdrawal going on

[@ToyCars2019]

True. I want to see moragkerr too on a video with Lee, don't you?😉

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

The Collab of the year ❤

[@jonharnew]

Great that you teamed up with John Cadogan.

[@mikejba]

Great episode Lee, nice to see three KZbinrs together too. Simon seems like a top guy, been following him for a while. Looks like you've been having fun in Aus, enjoy the rest of the trip

[@stevenvater8720]

Great great comments from John cadogan he spot on

[@sonofdat]

Personally i couldnt care less about the car.. im still getting over the fact. I've just seen 3 of my favourite KZbinrs in 1 video.. Good thing you didnt have GBC in the video too or our phones would have burst into flames like a tesla.. Well done Lee.. Fantastic!

[@actualfacts1055]

In Australia in the suburbs it's mostly wives of doctors and lawyers who have Tesla's.

[@PlaylistsRUs]

The bigger miracle is that he found a car space in Riley Street near Oxford Street one week from Mardi Gras 😂

[@steverees1936]

John Cadogan is a legend. My wife and I watched his channel many times and he never failed to make us laugh every time. Typical Aussie guy through and through. Simon seems a cool guy and he's bang on about what he said about EV's ending up in landfill sights. None of them will ever be classics. I'm not sold with any EV even if it makes engine noises. So cheesy. So far Sydney just looks like a typical city with a nice harbour. Adelaide beats it hands down for the feel good factor. It's so good for families as it has a big town feeling about it. Amazing city.

[@jurgenlohndorf5364]

Don't tell em about Adelaide! We don't need silly People, tell them to stay in Sydney!!!!

[@troy906]

You’ve seen about 1/100000 of Sydney in these vlogs

[@steverees1936]

@@troy906 I've been there so seen more than what Lee is showing. Sydney is lovely don't get me wrong and beats UK cities hands down but for me Adelaide has real charm and amazing architecture. It has a more relaxed feeling about it with a fraction of the traffic. I know because I lived there, so I've had a taste of both cities. I also been to Perth and lived in Melbourne which I also prefer both to Sydney. 🙂

[@LuvThe350Niner-Garth]

2 of my Favorite KZbinrs meet. John is a very intelligent guy with tons of experience who speaks his mind without fear of reprisal, which is why I like him. If you hadn't heard of John, I hope my suggestion in an earlier vlog that you catch up when you were in Sydney had some influence on you 2 catching up. I've subscribed to MGUY as well.

[@timcollins380]

My 3 favourite KZbin car people in one video. Thank you. I had an i30N 6 speed manual which was fun but I decided to sell it and get out of Hyundai when it decided to go all electric with the N division, I have my integrity, after all. I will stick with my modest collection of ICE cars.

[@robertkubrick3738]

Surprised the doors didn't lock and the battery go into tragic thermal runaway?

[@uweklasen1037]

my personally three most viewed youtube guys in one video😝 G‘day to You all!!!😎

[@wayneshady5]

same

[@jubronaljoan]

That ionic 5N was insane, even as a concept/prototype vehicle. I'll be looking out for JC's full rundown of the car on his channel. I predict a mad scramble by the remaining EV makers to soup up their offerings in similar ways, just to get some interest and excitment back into what are basically whitegoods on wheels. Nice to see you about town with Mguy. You can cross I rode in a concept super EV with John Cardogan at the wheel off your bucket list now Lee 😁

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Lee mentioned at the beginning of the video how weird it was seeing his favourite KZbinrs in person when he was watching him all the time.. I was the same when I met Stephen from walk on the wildside last Tuesday lol 👍

[@bigfist255]

I watch both those guys channels,great stuff Lee.

[@NightWatch975]

Honestly, every EV has software at its core, and software, regardless of where it is, in a Tesla, in an Iphone or an Android device, is still liable to crash or malfunction at some point. At least with a manual car you can get out of it if the computer goes bonkers. Great video, keep it up 👌

[@Luka_3D]

Planes had software controlling everything for decades. I'm not sold on drive by wire but mechanical linkages are not always the best option, nor are they 100% reliable either.

[@johnbowyer6902]

It is quick and sounded great; AND there were 4 of you in the Ionic 5, too. WOW! 😮😊

[@rbnhd1144]

I love how John Cadogan takes the corners, I thought Mac and MGUY may have gone all poopy in their trousers. I loved this episode, I've been a subscriber of Johns for a while, if you've not seen his rants about Electric Jesus your missing a treat, he speaks the Queens English and leaves nothing to the Imagination. I will be subscribing to MGUY too.

[@shirley1827]

Liked video meeting m guy and john.very convincing but still not for ordinary people.

John Cadogan?..Australian legend, great videos on you-tube...

Big fan of John Cadogan, Thanks Lee

Great that you guys got together for a chat.

[@Nunos645cgh]

You were right, this guy isn’t ‘scary’ at all, actually a pretty cool guy as a guest on your channel

[@davidtaylor351]

EVs are 1 part of a wider scheme. Politically, they are being used, as a type of wedge to... step by step, significantly reduce the number of ICE vehicles out there - and their support systems. And ultimately, especially in cities and suburbs. To significantly scale back the number of private motorised vehicles on the roads! If you cannot see...How our roads, are steadily, being micro managed and restricted. - IE. Made more difficult to get around on. "Streets for people schemes etc". Then where have you been in recent years!?

[@knownpleasures]

As implied in the video the manufacture of internal combustion engines will also be phased out as well

[@troy906]

All I see is tinfoil hats on snowflakes hiding under the bed from big brother & conspiracies

[@davidtaylor351]

No need for snow flakes, conspiracy theories, or tin foil hats! Its not hard to see what the political agenda behind the promotion of EVs is!! After all. We have been told - for quite some time! Its linked to climate change! And are you suggesting these road changes, complications and restrictions aren't happening!? Ok, maybe not where you live. Obviously i don't know. Nevertheless, they are happening! And if this isn't designed to slow down, restrict and reduce traffic flows!! Then by some weird logic that escapes me. Perhaps, it is designed to encourage more use of cars! - By making it more difficult - to drive them on the roads!

[@ToyCars2019]

​@@troy906*You mentioned detractors & that Evee's are the future. You are full of sh!te. You are one of the detractors & very rude & uneducated. I bet you are on your 7th experimental 💉 aren't you & ready for your next!? Where exactly do you live? Why do you think that 20mph zones are appearing everywhere!? Are you looking forward to being penned in at home within your 15 minutes smart cities zone & cbdc, you compliant little sheeple!?*

[@AussiePom]

@@knownpleasuresThe latest government moronic action is to add 25-30K to the new car price of an ICE SUV of 4x4 ute. The governments thinking is that it will encourage people to buy EV's. But the car dealers have told them the people won't buy EV's but will hang onto their ICE cars and not buy new cars either ICE or EV. The morons in government didn't think of that.

[@jonathanbowles2577]

Good Evening Lee, Simon and John. As an Experienced Driver of a few years now. i really did Simon's Mercedes Benz 350 SLK. Some very Good Driving and Handling of the Hyundi i5 EV. The Engine sound effects were Good. It is totally fake and boring. It has no Character, Soul, Spirit you do not get the feel from the EV, like you would with a Proper Combustion Engined Car. Way to fast to keep in control. 470 HP. That is Megga Fast. I did not like it at all, it's rather lacking of any Kerb Side appeal. I really Love my True Super Cars, Bugatti Chiron, Pagani Zonda, Lamborgini Aventador, MacClaren FI, Aston Martin Vulcan 1800 HP. These are my Favourite selection of Super Cars with real Powerful Engines and a Glorious Feel Good Factor of 1000%. No EV's thank you much.

[@ketchmarkreviews7275]

Great video Lee. There was no mention of the range of this thing and also is the artificial engine noise heard on the outside as well as the inside?

[@maxbialystock254]

I had a friend who took the opening drum solo from VH Hot for Teacher and made a loop. Ran the sound through 2 broken 6 x 9 speakers under the hood of his 66 Mustang with the wheezing straight 6. Sounded like a cammed 427 side oiler. He only turned it on at the stoplights hilarious

[@TimK2646]

I love the test drive - very clever car. John's words at 33:39 are immortal ....

[@garymillerlcs]

Great video. I wonder how many minutes the novelty of an unrealistic artificial engine sound will take to become annoying. I loved the grimace Simon made when following a dreaded Tesla. Brilliant! It was professional of you to be polite about the Hyundai while in it though. Great stuff.

[@wayneott5990]

A real treat three of my favorite people I follow! Makes me want to visit Australia!

[@alanhowemusic2457]

At last, so glad you both managed to get together, what a great video. Respect to you both and I love both of your U-Tube channels.

[@stevenvater8720]

The end is brilliant!!

[@NickyDunn]

*Congratulations. 160K. Subscribers.* 🍻x

[@tristatetech]

If you have the engine noise on do you lose 50 miles of range?

[@-EC002-]

It's misinformation like this that make EVs look bad... It's obvious to any fool that you only lose 49.5 miles of range. DUH!

[@garymillerlcs]

You could 😊turn off all the lights to compensate!

[@user-qe5ht4cl1q]

Wow, the dream team together, Lee, Simon and John. Looking forward to more like this. Robin

[@swedishbob_7315]

M.A.L.S. John is a legend .... MGUY is ok as well My cousin had the contract to paint the bridge...it was a continuous job

[@raeleneparker9351]

Great video Lee. Despite all the Gimmicks it is still an electric car and has the failings and issues that come with it. Not to mention the eye watering price.

[@rachelshonahague5718]

Clever idea adding engine engine sound but once the novelty wears off...🤔

[@AussiePom]

Yes and the software ages and the sound becomes intermittent and it's only 15K to have it fixed.

[@davidwatson22]

Ah just great to see the Three amigos together at last great one Lee. As for EVs it's not the cars it's the Battery and the support info structure that still poor, last week was the first time I saw the new chargers at Summercotes on the B600 powered up only taken them four months.

[@cornishhh]

Driving a BMC Mini with a blown exhaust would be more fun and probably safer IMO. Plus it would be much greener.

[@MikeJones-mz5ig]

I've just toured some of the best museums in India. Who knew there were older fossils right here. So glad the planet is out of their hands.

[@geoffsingleton9248]

I had to check my pulse. The MacMaster, MGUY and John Cadogan in the one video. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

[@billabongoneill]

Just drive a Mercedes SLK ! I do and it’s brilliant.

[@NZBRG1]

Great to see John on your channel!

[@davidlindburg1921]

That's really impressive Lee. Figures you got John Cadogan as well. Recommend investing in a tyre dealership if you buy that car - blistering acceleration. A really fun vid ❤

[@Rastusmishka12]

Never been a fan of EVs but am closely watching the progress of hydrogen engines.

[@AussiePom]

JCB in the UK has been developing hydrogen combustion engines for use in it's heavy construction and farming machinery. EV powered heavy machinery just doesn't cut it in the heavy construction sector for it has to spend too long recharging whereas hydrogen can be filled in an instant like diesel.

[@lezbarker2673]

Great video so cool you met up with MG guy as I’m subscribed with him as well. People with common sense usually end up meeting others with common sense. One of us 😂

[@grantta7450]

Wow Lee!, if you had Geoff with you, you would have my top 4 KZbin subscription list all in the same video😊( that's a little freaky, but awesome at the same time)

[@Catcat65]

It's crazy for me to see the three of you together, I subscribe to all three of you!

[@JimLatimer]

Grate video Lee the test drive was epic pity it was a E/V thnks for the vues as well.

[@warrenneeves7103]

Did you take it back to the dealer to get it charged or to put new tyres on it?

[@kenandbarbie-b6c]

Awesome acceleration & interesting psychological feedback with ICE sounds, but the biggest problem with widespread EV adaptation is that the electrical utility infrastructure is poor.

[@elliotoliver8679]

The biggest problem is gonna be a LOT of crashes

[@tali3san337]

The charging spots appropriately look like disabled parking.

[@jstephens2758]

Great combination of You Tubers. I subscribe to both you and John. I liked the engine sounds, but only because I am ancient. Someone who has not grown up with them would wonder, "Why is this so noisy?" An outside sound is good to warn pedestrians though.

[@mickc7388]

I think on safety grounds they should have an outside noise, otherwise you cant hear the buggers coming at you.

[@susanwaite1187]

As said the weather really does lift the mood.Both breakfasts looked yummy.😊

[@FolkinghamRob]

3 excellent KZbinrs in one place. I subscribe to all these guys but John is my favourite 😅

[@charlesholder8009]

Mixing with the big boys now.

[@gbsailing9436]

With the weight and the grunt...I'd hate to think how quickly you're going to go through tires...? It's going to coast a bomb to run: charging, tyres, servicing only at Hyundai, speeding tickets.

[@PenryMMJ]

Hehehe. I was wondering how on earth you'd managed to get John Cadogan to keep his comments family friendly. Maybe you hired a look-a-like, but right at the end it's pretty clear that it's the real John. 😁

[@richardcarter1000]

John's closing line was brilliant

[@rbnhd1144]

@dcarter1000 That was the family friendly version, I cant wait to see his review once he has had it on the track.

[@kevinwall8893]

its good to see the other side of MGUY

[@zoltanrudolf]

I love these three men!

[@MothershipVideos]

Great post guys.

[@cornishhh]

John probably wore the tyres out by 50% in that test drive. You three could be the new improved Top Gear.

[@martinwalker3372]

Great to see you with Simon and John. I subscribe to all of you. As for the electrical Hyundai it still doesn't interest me whatsoever. I was lent an EV Kona a couple of years ago while my petrol Hyundai was being serviced and although well built, was very fast etc., I really didn't like it at all. I'll stick to my petrol Hyundai thank you. Yet another great video Lee.

[@robtitheridge9708]

Cor 3 youtubers who i follw all in one video excellent.

[@AussieTVMusic]

Once electric cars become affordable, which they will, the dam wall will burst. Most people want to spend as little as they can on cars. They don't care if they are petrol or eclectic. Probably looking at 20ys before it's fully realised. It's all moot to me because I don't own a car. As far as the engine noise goes kids of the future won't miss something they don't know. It's only for us old blokes who are scared of silence lol.

[@peterclarke3300]

Great video Lee and engines are still the best until something better comes along and if you have to fake the noise there’s something to a real engine 👏👏👍👍

[@simoncrooke1644]

It's great to see 3 EV sceptics enjoying an EV.

[@jbtonline]

Loved this Vlog, three of my top KZbinrs, and an EV god child in the passenger seat. Did you pull over and push him out at Dingo Piss Creek (ask John C).. Jon T Uk and Hi to MGUY.

[@kellyeye7224]

The 'bottom line' is that it's still an EV and the *absolute* downside is that you're still going to be waiting 'hours' (remember the size of that battery) to get it charged. Already subscribe to both your 'guests' too. Great channels, recommended.

[@twig3288]

What a contrast after driving the noisy ev to a smooth & silent Merc 350 SLK 😂
