Joe Rogan - What Keeps Elon Musk Up at Night?

what keeps you up at night well it's quite hard to run companies yeah especially car companies how Tuesday is quite challenging the car business is the hardest one of all the things you do yes because it's a consumer organist as opposed to like SpaceX and not that SpaceX of SpaceX is no walk in the park but but a car company is very difficult to keep a car company alive it's very difficult you know there's only two car companies in the history of American car companies that haven't gone bankrupt and that's Ford and Tesla that's it yeah Ford rode out that crazy storm huh they're the only one I skidded their teeth shoutout to the Mustang yeah yeah by the skin of their teeth that is interesting right same with Tesla we barely survived how close did you get to folding very close we are two thousand eight is not a good time to be a car company especially a start-up car company and especially an electric car company I was like stupidity squared and this is when you had those cool roadsters with the tea table yeah with a target op yeah we had like use a highly modified Elysee chassis the body was all completely different I was a super dumb strategy that we actually did was read um was based on two false premises one false premise was that we'd be able to cheaply convert the Lotus Elise and use that as a car platform and that we would be able to use technology from the stole company called AC propulsion for the electric drivetrain and the battery arm is the AC propulsion technology did not work in production and we ended up using none of it and long term none of it we had to redesign everything and then the once you add a battery pack an electric motor to the cart got a heavier cut 30% heavier and validated the entire structure all the crashed structure everything had to be redone nothing like that I think it had less than 7% of the parts were common with any other device including cars or anything that's the 7% yes everything including tires and wheels bolts breaks yet even as Darren will see the steering wheel was I think the steering wheel was almost the same yes the windscreen went went skating right no I think one skier is this the same yes I think I think we were able to keep the last one seven percent so that's right basically every body panel was different the entire structure was different the we couldn't use the H like the HVAC system the the view of the air conditioner was a belt-driven air conditioner so now we needed something that was electrically driven we need a new AC compressor and all that takes away from the battery life as well right yeah we needed a small highly efficient air conditioning system that fit in a tiny car and was electrically powered not belt driven very difficult how much do those way but those cars the Roadster I think it was about 2,700 pounds that's still very sound dependent which version 26:52 2020 750 pounds something like that and what was the weight distribution it was about 50 well they were different versions of the car so is about 55 on the rear because it was rear bias right but not bad like considering like a 911 which is like one of the most popular sports cars of all time heavy rear end bias well I mean yeah the 911 like a joke is like the magistrate despite Newton not being on their side yeah if you're fighting Newton it's very difficult well it's like a you've got this the moments of inertia on on a 911 don't make any sense they do once you understand them once you don't want to hang the engine off the ask this is not a wise move you don't want to let up on the gas when you're in a corner the problem with up with with a with with something that's where the engine is mounted over the rear axle or off the rear axle towards the rear so you're polar moment of inertia is fundamentally screwed you can solve this it's unsolvable you're screwed pull them over to nurseries you're screwed right like essentially if you spawn the car like a top that's your problem moment of inertia you're just I promised they wouldn't swear on this show by the way really Jesu I friend tell that friend to go [ __ ] himself who told you not to swear afraid I'm not a good friend yes we realize you're [ __ ] Elon Musk you do whatever you want ma'am if you ever get confused call me elsewhere in the private square up a storm just say frickin it's fun Wade there's like old house mom's have children yes freaking thing yeah anyway like like the Porsche it's kind of incredible how well Porsche handles given that it's the physics yes moments of inertia are so messed up to actually still make it work well is is incredible well if you know how to turn into the corner once you get used to the feeling of it there's actual benefits to it you know there are some benefits I enjoy I the car I had before Tesla was at nine eleven okay I was nine nine seven or six yeah nine seven yeah yeah great car man yeah I mean particularly with on the Porsche server when they had the variable vanes turbo and yet didn't have the turbo lag that was great yeah I was really great the turbo lag was is like you know if you floor it like phone a home call your mom car accelerates and super dangerous to because in the real world start spinning yeah yeah there's something fun about it though like feeling that rear weight kicking around you know and again oh it's quite efficient that good feel to it yeah I agree but that's that's what I was talking about earlier about that little car that I have that 93 911 it's just there's it's not fast it's not it's not the best handling car but it's more satisfying than any other car I have because it's so mechanical it's like everything about it like crack holes and bumps and it gives you all this feedback and I take it to the comedy store because when get there I feel like my brain is just popping and it's on fire it's like a strategy for me now that I really stopped driving other cars there I Drive that car there just for the brain juice just for the that the inner the interaction I mean you should try model SP 100 d I'll try blow your mind of your skull okay yeah tell me what to order I'll order it model SP 100 d okay jaimé that's this little car that I Drive okay okay I'll get with the car you drive okay it will player might have your skull I believe you drive a far greater miles that's good for LA regular days you'll never notice the battery never never how hard is it to get like one of them crazy plugs installed in your house that difficult no it's super easy it's like yeah it's like a dryer plug it's like a dryer outlet
