I'm wearing a new one this week can you guess what it means and we are carbon offset from the manufacturer shipping and life cycle of your purchase and we plant a tree for every order and every order helps support us here uh now you know so you know how everyone talks about the big news that's gonna be coming up soon which is that the Giga Factory in Shanghai China is gonna be pumping out cars into the Chinese car market yes well I thought it was important to remind people that there's another big car market in Asia that a lot of people are excited about and that is South Korea so according to Vincent who is a big Twitter user that Elon tweets out a lot the model 3 in South Korea after incentives can be had for less than $27,000 Wow so the interesting thing is that Korea had an incentive for EVs but only if the car could fully charge in under 10 hours at a standard outlet now that gave small battery cars a huge advantage this rule has changed in 2017 so now a Tesla can get the 9 million won federal incentive plus provincial incentives so the Model 3 starts at 52 million won but like who cares it's just South Korea it's like a little a small country right so it's actually a big car market they sell over a million cars a year in South Korea oh okay and with all of these incentives the model 3 could be bought for about 32 million won or about $26,000 so I mean I was thinking that this is great for Tesla they build the cars at the Shanghai Giga Factory they pop them on a train and send them down to South Korea and they're right there I mean it's so easy to get the cars from China to South Korea train what are you talking about put it on a train goes down to sup oh it has to go through North Korea yeah I guess we put it on a boat instead it'll be a boat it'll be a boat right so you remember when I got solar on the roof here at our house back in 2013 I used what's called a our purchase agreement I didn't purchase the solar panels from Tesla Tesla installed them and I paid Tesla every month for the electricity i generate right so that's a power purchase agreement and they're pretty common in some solar markets it depends on the incentives that the solar installers can can benefit from usually from state governments but then Tesla did away with the Power Purchase Agreements Siri much no longer really get a power purchase agreement which is too bad because now you either have to pay upfront in cash or you have to take a loan out but get this Tesla has this new thing called rent Tesla so basically for as little as $50 a month for a small system hundred dollars for medium and 150 a month for a large you can rent a Tesla solar system to be put on your roof okay so how does that work I mean you do have to pay for installation no installations included interesting and that also includes support and maintenance and there's no long term contract you can cancel at any time but there's solar panels on your roof it's not like a it's not like a cable subscription where they just don't allow you to you know benefit from being able to watch cable or if that's even a benefit anymore well it is kind of weird you're right so if you stop paying the monthly payment they de energize the system and just leave it on your roof if you want it removed that'll cost you fifteen hundred dollars okay but I mean like wouldn't there just be panels left on people's rooms that aren't energized well if you take a look at this chart here it actually makes you money to pay Tesla I know that sounds weird but as you pay Tesla 250 bucks a month as you can see on this chart here you're actually making more than that every year so to keep the system's energized saves you money I see because it's actually gonna be making you money and depending on these states and you can see that the states are you know differ here and that's based on generation amounts and based on net metering amounts right but basically and it probably depends on a bunch of factors but you would be making more money because you'd be generating electricity with these rented solar panels that are on your roof so it behooves you to spend the $50 a month it doesn't make any sense at all unless you were gonna get rid of all of your electrical appliances and right there's no reason to not and I guess the reason Tesla's doing this is unlike a power purchase agreement where there's like a 20-year agreement there's no long term contract here because you can stop at any time I'm guessing that gets a whole bunch of new consumers who would be worried about long term agreements to sign up for it right and I mean the problem now with the loans is that you know if you get a loan there are a lot of different financial implications to that I mean for instance I have student debt and I also have a car loan and so my credit score is being negatively affected not by much but it's being negatively affected because I have of the utilization of my loans is too high right and so that could be a factor for some people who you know might already have a mortgage and then you know oh I need to get a loan to put solar on my roof it totally makes sense financially but it might not make sense credit score wise and stuff like that so this is a great option and finally finally something that Tesla is offering that I think they should have been offering this whole time it's kind of weird because I feel like after Tesla bought Solar City they probably lost a lot of people at solar city that knew what they were doing and now you've got probably people who are like hey I've got an idea and it's like they don't have a lot of institutional knowledge anymore I guess they kind of lost out because they were the number one solar provider in the states that they were in right now they're like number 3 in most states right they lost out mostly because they stopped Power Purchase Agreements and also they stopped door-to-door salesmen ship which I think was a very effective way of getting solar on people's roofs I mean especially once you get one house in a neighborhood yeah it just spreads like wildfire because everyone's like oh it doesn't look that bad right and oh he just said that his electric bill is nothing in fact he's you know making money from the panels or he's his electric bill is so much cheaper because he's paying a lower rate for the panel's you know it just lowered your electricity bill and I guess this is going to do the exact same thing it's a good strategy in my mind I guess we'll see when the quarterly numbers come in so what do you think this is just that's Chevy bolt just looks like a bolt um is it a vote no it's it's a Chevy you know and there's no tailpipe nope so it's a bolt it's well it's the Chinese version of the bolt EUV what is an e UV well Chevy filed for the trademark on this earlier this year it C an electric utility vehicle so it's an SUV no it's an electric utility you can't do sports with it you can only do electric thinks only electricians can do utility things I guess I don't know so they did release the buick v light sexy v and the bow john eetu hundred uh what i've never heard of those cars oh well those are two chinese only vehicles they're produced by a joint venture partnership in China so yeah so GM said in the next 18 months GM will introduce two new all-electric vehicles based off learnings from the Chevrolet bolt evey and they didn't do that okay no so they made two V's you have to give them credit it's only in China yep China only and now that I've never heard of them right now this new one that you just saw is going to be called the Chevy Menlo and it will be produced in China by SAIC and GM joint venture ship all we know about the car at this moment is that it's got a hundred and seventy four horsepower motor and a hundred and fifty kilometer per hour top speed we don't know anything about the range price anything like that and we know that it's expected to launch later this year in China 150 kilometers an hour is not extremely fast no it's mainly a city car so I mean this is pretty normal for Chinese cars right so this sounds like it's another China only special yeah yeah China gets all the good stuff huh well but you know what's funny here though is that if Elon had said something like this if Elon had said you know I'm gonna do something in 18 months and then he didn't produce any under-delivered everyone would have said Fudd story Elon doesn't deliver on promise so instead it's just not a story at all no one cares right I've just been hearing crickets about I mean I haven't heard anything about this unfortunately you don't just hear crickets when it's something like this happens because I well I guess fortunately because you'd just be hearing crickets all the time I don't like look it's exciting for China yeah that's great but I don't live in China and also really hard to hear things about what happens in China it's like we live on a different planet so it's just it's just a bummer yeah you know we don't have drone shots of this car no coming out every you know a couple weeks like we do with it with the Shanghai gigafactory it's just this like I don't know it oh you don't even know that it happened because they're just they just showed a couple pictures you know we if you know more of our viewers in China got to get us some some photos going like we got Deema in China like it's true you know some good reporting from China would help it would really help but we it's I mean it that's tough that's how fast it is so analyst Tony Sacco Nagi from Bernstein claims that his analysis of the executive turnover rate of executives that report directly to Elon Musk is 44 percent turnover rate annually so compare that to the 9% at the average Silicon Valley company yeah I mean look at this chart here number two here is lift with a fairly big turnover but then it drops right down to companies that hardly ever see any turnover because I mean imagine normally you get hired is like VP of something or else like VP of comfortable chairs and that's it you got that job for life it's a cushy position it is so Tony Sacco Nagi said our analysis indicates the Tesla's annualized executive turnover level has been 27% notably higher than the cohort average of 15% but not outlandish while one could argue that Tesla's high turnover reflects its unique in demanding culture we worry that such turnover not only causes instability but could also reflect more significant concerns among senior leaders about the company's direction or workplace practices and I got to say I kind of agree with Tony here in that if you know every few months some big VP is leaving and you were used to reporting that person or working with that person and you're like okay deliver this to Fred Oh Fred's not working there anymore Oh who do I deliver this to Rick well and also you each executive has their own like thing that they're doing and the way they're doing it and now like that has to get completely changed as a new person comes on board I think what's interesting here is that most of us as customers don't get to see any of this except in one area which is customer service right I do believe that what we've been seeing lately with kind of weird customer service issues is because of this weird turnover whereas if we were talking about like stamp and die we don't see that as customers it's not a customer facing but I think that there's one particular reason that we see such a high turnover rate and it's not necessarily ilana is a terrible boss and it's not necessarily that the work culture is just SuperDuper demanding it's that Tesla is a very highly coveted company when you're talking about your resume and we talked about this before but basically the idea is this you are a VP or you're moving up into a VP spot at Tesla I know that basically pretty much everyone who's watching this has gotten a job at some point and so what you do is you find a job listing you apply it you know you hand in your resume and maybe they give you a call and they say oh I looked over your resume you look like a good candidate want to come in for an interview this is not what happens when you get to the higher levels of corporate culture right you are constantly being headhunted that is the that is the term you are headhunted by headhunters right um they're not trying to kill you but they are trying to convince you to leave your job and go to a different job and they have so many different tools at their disposal they can offer you bonuses that can offer you a better salary you could be doing something that you're more interested in doing right that's a really good point I want to bring up one of these guys here that just did that Jay Eric Purcell he had been working at Tesla for almost seven years he held several positions including director of manufacturing for body stamping and tool-and-die at the Fremont factory and then most recently for the past three years Purcell was Tesla's director of manufacturing quality now here's a guy who started a like Kia in a couple other companies as like managers then he moved to like floor manager at like some other car company then at Tesla he was a floor manager of like stamp and I and then if you look at his resume he just moved up the ranks right into these this big Director position and then where's he working now he's working at Gibson guitar corporation in Tennessee yeah so imagine this Gibson's looking for a manufacturing process stinkies head of you know global Quality Assurance or something and so your head hunted away they're like oh you can go to Tennessee hang out and play your guitar all day and join a band and get some free flights and all this stuff perfect right I mean we're talking bonuses we're talking a huge salary upgrade I mean Tesla does not pay a lot right - they're VPS and you get to sit around the office all day and be like when I worked at Tesla this is what we did let me tell you a little bit about Tesla butter now it's a dream job like I just imagined for a moment like whether you like Gibson guitars are you like offenders if you like guitars in general being head of quality at a guitar company we're like hey hand me that guitar let me check its quality alright this is pretty good you know I think is a pretty dope job yeah and one that you would love to have and so after working at Tesla for seven years your resume looks great and so you're gonna get headhunted away yeah it's that Klout factor you have someone who used to work at Tesla use a VP at Tesla it's a hard job like I don't want to take that away but there is this silver lining at the end of it so you're gonna be like I will bust my ass off I will work really hard at this company so that way at the end I can get headhunted away to wherever I want to work whatever my true passion is and if it's guitars you go to Gibson so according to Nissan electric charging locations have out numbered gas stations in the UK according to Nissan there are nine thousand 199 active evey charging stations in the country as of August compared to eight thousand three hundred ninety six open gas stations okay so I mean when we say charging stations we mean like a plug yeah we mean a physical one you know like either j17 Argos is type 2 in England or it would be a quick charging station either shed ammo or DC fast charging right but we're looking just one stall whereas we're saying a gas station we mean all the stalls right which could be anywhere from two at the very minimum up to like 1820 pumps right so it's not not an apples to apples apples but I would argue that this metric is wrong as well because I think that the number of charging locations in the United Kingdom was much higher than the gas stations way earlier I think as soon as you had around eight thousand three hundred ninety-six electric cars in England owned by people who live in homes you would have that number of charging stations because your house is a charging station I don't people to forget when you have an electric car you can charge it at your house if you're lucky enough to have you know a driveway and of course if you can you know get an extension cord or put in a charging station at your house then it totally works what I found was interesting was the UK peaked in 1970 when there were 37,000 open gas stations across the country now there's only 8300 so I mean isn't that funny a four times as many and I think this is you know when I was a kid there's lots of gas stations that would have just one or two pumps there'd be kind of mom paw owned and that's pretty much you know maybe was attached to like a mechanic's garage but nowadays many of these have like you know 15 20 pumps and then a vini enstein store right okay so it's changed you know how gas is delivered interesting so take a look at this footage here this is the Audi e-tron and it's the first BV to earn a 2019 top safety pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or IIHS now you remember that in 2017 the Tesla Model S achieved a good score but it failed to get the top IIHS crash rating the Chevy Volt evey also achieved a Top Safety Pick but it wasn't awarded the plus like the Audi e-tron the e-tron also achieved a 5-star crash safety rating under the euro and cap standard in Europe and I think that this is a great thing congratulations outtie you just made a safer car than your gas burning version so the Audi q8 I believe it is looks almost identical to the Audi e-tron and it only gets a Top Safety Pick it doesn't get the plus so I think that this is great because I mean howdy obviously knows how to make cars and they're pretty good at making safe cars it's amazing that they can make their first electric car ever be safer than their gas burning car that they've been making for a very long time I think that it shows that electric cars are and just inherently safer when it comes to crash safety and isn't this a wonderful future to look forward to like we could be switching to electric cars and maybe you know we could be thinking like oh we have to do it because of the climate or because of pollution but they aren't as safe or just all that just super sucks but we don't have to think that we can be looking forward to the future where more people are going to be served iving accidents because they're going to be in electric cars and I think Tesla pushed this to happen if it weren't for the fact that Tesla was getting the best marks I bet outtie would have been like and don't worry so much about the safety but they knew that they had Tesla on their tail so they had to show this off the other thing that just struck me here was that the IIHS has a way to differentiate the different levels of safety I don't think it's a great way they do it it's the top safety pick in the top safety pick+ there can also be multiple Top Safety picks which means that it's not the top safety pick it's just one of the top Safety picks but unlike Mitsos rating which we told you about last week with the five stars is at least they've differentiated at least there's some way the consumers can see that like oh I've got a plus now what I would argue though is that as a consumer I get very confused very fast because I see that some car gets 5 stars and then I see that on the IHS it's like a Top Safety Pick but I'm like is dude why are you confusing how do I weigh this we really need numbers exactly I mean I think these two groups have done this down for like the consumer because consumers can only understand stores and pluses we know numbers are fine give us a scale and give us a number the other thing is IIHS hasn't tested the Model X yet so I can't compare outtie e-tron to the Model X because they haven't tested it and the Model X has been out much longer than the for Audi e-tron so I don't understand why that is the case right it's very confusing very confused so next move is Europe's leading electric car rental company with 10 locations and 370 electric vehicles in their fleet now they've been working with Tesla since 2015 and they're one of Tesla's largest fleet customers they've bought more than 50 Tesla's so far and you know they've done so much to help get butts in seats like we're always talking about they're helping to spread the word about V's because a lot of people rent an electric car or Tesla from them and you know how it for a few days or week and they're like wow this is great I want to get one so that's great but what's that's that's the whole story you just what's move good no no so what happened here is that Tesla just cancelled 85 Model 3 orders from December of 2018 because Tesla wouldn't agree to delivering their cars defect-free wait so Tesla cancelled because Tesla wouldn't deliver something yeah it's been a weird story and I've been talking to next move about it to get all the facts basically tehsils were delivered with paint chips tire damage missing emergency call buttons wrong wiring harnesses for Europe defective turn signals onboard charger problems and next move says its undisputed that Tesla lacks a defect free delivery process Wow so basically here what's going on is there's very poor customer service and next move is not the only one we've heard this from we've heard this from many customers throughout Europe and the US now to be fair often the delivery process from Tesla goes super smoothly and there's no problems at all but when there is a problem Tesla has a horrible track record of fixing problems to customer satisfaction okay so his next move points out when a problem does occur like for instance there was a missing seat in one of their models that got delivered real um yep and if it's near the end of a quarter Tesla usually wants to sell a lot of cars so they have better service but what they've seen is when they're not near the end of a quarter and they have a problem and they contact a high-level member of Tesla the repairs get forgotten or lost in their Tesla system so for instance when the car came in with the missing seat Tesla was like oh my gosh so sorry we'll have that fixed right away and then weeks went by and when they finally got in contact with them again they're like a Tesla where's the seat and they're like oh that didn't get fixed so sorry blah seat Tesla wants to stick to their policy of pay first then take delivery and then see if there are any problems and I think if you've ever gotten a car delivered to you you know that that's not the case you you get shown the car on the dealer slot you're about to sign the papers and if there's any problems you go home oh whoa look at this what's this exit I'm not I'm not taking delivery yet right and that's not how Tesla does it they're like oh you don't take delivery then we'll cancel the whole deal and the other problem that they have with Tesla is that when there do need to be regular repairs like if one of their customers gets into an accident it never takes less than two months to get fixed so for instance they've got a new tailgate on a Model S that took five months to get replaced or it took three months for a new windshield to get installed my god and so next move has spoken privately with Tesla employees who have told them you know yes you need to get this message out about this Tesla service problem because we feel embarrassed I mean we're working for the company we want to do the right thing for customers but we can't and so next move came out with this video I urge you guys to watch it it's in German but there's subtitles in English where they explain the whole problem and they're not trying to throw Tesla under the bus they're just frustrated because they've been trying to work with Tesla for months to come up with a system that will work for both parties and Tesla's not willing to do anything about it and this is frustrating for Jessi and I because we love Tesla obviously we want the best for them we know that as we said most times things go perfectly but when it doesn't they seem to have some kind of problem putting the customer first right I mean I hope that the new head of Tesla Europe Sasha's aunt can fix this soon I mean I'm hoping that this was a problem of like the wrong executive not understanding the policy or something but we got to keep in mind this was a five million dollar order that they just lost and it's you know it's not a little problem and we've been hearing this from just regular customers that if you take delivery of a car and it's got a defect you want to taken care of right away or you pretty much you don't want it there in the first place right and to be fair here I mean we are not trying to hate on Tesla or anything like that I think that if you've watched this channel long enough you know that but we do want to be open and honest here and this is something that we've been hearing from lots of different people now it doesn't happen in all cases not all service problems lead to a giant headache in fact Kyle fields a clean Technica has an entire article that basically talks about his really really smooth service appointment where he got mobile service you know he didn't even have to drive down to the service center the truck came and fixed his car in his driveway which is super cool and I've had that happen too and it's super smooth do you feel like a pretty slick kid when the Tesla service van rolls up and they fix your car in the work parking lot and you didn't have to you know take a you know hours out of your day just to go drop off a car and then have someone drive you home that's that's really really nice yeah I mean remember in 2017 on the q1 earnings call Elon said the following our policy for service loners is that the service loaner fleet will be the very best version of a Tesla that is available if you have a Model X that comes in for service the service loaner you will get will be the absolute fully loaded state-of-the-art P 100 d ludicrous model X that we have same for the Model S and so this week James Locke asked on Twitter Elan not sure what's happened but remember this I was just informed by service as a Tesla owner the vehicle loaner program is no more I don't want a gas car or a gas uber 90 miles back to work for my closest service please bring back one of the things that customers loved Neal own responded this isn't correct will address which is confusing to me what is not correct the thing that he said like the the that what Ellen said those years ago is not correct that he's somehow being misquoted or is he saying that what this guy is going through is not right and he's gonna make sure that that gets addressed and is he only gonna address it at that particular service center or a countrywide because I've had this experience at service centers here in New England where I go in and it used to be that I would get a loaner and they would try and give me the best loaner they could and then it started slipping where it was like yeah well we got this Tesla it's not nothing like yours but and I was like whatever and then it went to will give you some uber credits and like no because that means I'll be in a gas car and then it went to you can get a rental and I'm like I know you're gonna pay for the rental but they don't have any Tesla's and then finally they got some Tesla's and they're like you might get a Tesla with the rental company and like but that's not the same as knowing that I'll get a Tesla so yeah it's really slipped and all I want to know is did the policy change or are they running out of cars or like what's going on right because I think that this was a great idea and you know whether or not it's implementable is another facet but if you could stick with it if you could actually make it work you would be up selling almost everyone because let's say you have a model a standard range that you just bought right and you get in a fully-loaded performance Model S and it's 0-60 time is is seconds lower than the Model S that you bought you might be going yourself like mm-hmm man time to start saving you know gee I didn't even think that it was gonna be this good it's really good I really want it exactly you know you get back your car you like it's it's fixed but whoa man do I wish I had this and it's just one of those things where you just feel calm and relaxed all right if I have to take it in for service I'm gonna get a P 100 D Ludacris and it's gonna be awesome right I've never gotten a ludicrous by the way and in fact I've never gotten a performance even though I have a performance so it's like that kind of irked me because like it didn't happen once or twice it's never happened that I got something equal to my car don't come up with this policy don't talk about this idea unless you've run it through the numbers and you're like okay this is gonna work this is something that we can we can do exactly and I think that's why when Jesse and I came up with our idea of like Tesla you need a CMO you need a chief you know marketing officer the CMO could come out and say instead of doing X Y & Z we're going to be doing a B and C so you know we will try to get you a Tesla loaner if or we'll try and get you a Tesla rental and worst case we will get you just a regular rental then then everyone will be on the same page we would be like oh okay that kind of sucks but you know that's basically what you get with any other car company um if you get a loaner at all most of the time you're just bringing it down to your local shop and you just have to bum rides off your friends for the whole week so I think that this is something that definitely needs to be focused on it's something that needs to be addressed and you know once said he would address it so address it please because yeah this is something that really bugs a lot of people so did you hear about this Jesse there's a new study by the National Institutes of Health the largest of its kind by the way they studied 7,000 adults between the ages of 45 and 84 from six locations throughout the u.s. highly populated areas like Baltimore Chicago LA and they did the study for 18 years from the year 2000 to 2018 they even ran repeated CT scans on people so I mean this is thousand people yeah this is a big big study and guess what they found what the combined health effect of multiple air pollutants ozone fine particulates known as PM 2.5 nitrogen oxides and black carbon was greater than when the pollutants were assessed individually said Bonnie Zhu Burt PhD now the strongest association between a pollutant and emphysema was seen with exposure to ozone ground-level ozone is the part of smog that you just can't see it's colorless and comes from the photochemical transformation that occurs when pollutants interact with sunlight so why is this story called pack-a-day well get this the increase in emphysema we observed was relatively large similar to the lung damage caused by 29 pack years of smoking and three years of aging that is from dr. our grand bar the professor of medicine and epidemiology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center 29 pack years so this is throughout the study mm-hmm conducted over about 18 years these are people who living in highly polluted areas you know city centers near lots of cars lots of lots of traffic you have 29 pack years and three years of aging so dad you know to pack your is so that's smoking a pack a day every day for a year that's back here 29 pack years right and three years of aging so three years of aging means that you're you've lost three years of your life right you're gonna die three years earlier than you were previously right and the 29 pack years of damage to your lungs it's like someone came and they put you in a machine that sucked life out of you just like in in Princess Bride and they sucked three years of life out of you and then they made you smoke a pack a day for 29 years yeah that is the same that is equivalent to living in a highly populated area with a lot of air pollution now what blew me away was I know that exposure to air pollution causes deaths but I didn't know that in 2011 alone in the United States there were a hundred and seven thousand premature deaths caused by air pollution so to put that in some context because you might be like 107 thousand deaths in a year I can't picture that well there's about half a million deaths a year caused by heart disease which is the number one killer in the United States they're about 33,000 people killed on the highways and car accidents every year in the US so this is right up there one of the top killers in the United States is air pollution according to the study the big surprise was the magnitude of this putting pollution in the same league as cigarette smoking cigarette smoking is by far the best known cause of emphysema the fact that ozone is in the same league definitely a surprise said dr. Joel Kaufman physician epidemiologist and faculty member at University of Washington this is one of the first times that we've studied this is especially to this extent and found out that yeah when you take all these pollutants mix them together and live there you might as well just be smoking every day right you could you could go somewhere in the forest right live a wonderful forest dwelling life and just be smoking it up right the same thing you might be saying all that so that's terrible smoking that many cigarettes nope you could just do that I'm not saying you should do that you should just go live in the forest and just enjoy your life don't smoke but imagine sending your kids out every day in in the city and being like go play oh but don't forget your cigarette or got your cigarettes what are you doing that's what you're doing that's the rule right you're sending your kids out to dance exactly I mean it's just absolutely sickening so here's the thing when you're watching the show and you're like well guys you know you talk all about no you know Evie's being better but I don't know if I believe you and I don't know if I care because I don't really care about the environment or care about warming the planet or even believe any of the science let's throw all that away for a second right how about the pollution coming out of your tailpipe exactly this study is showing that that pollution kills us so if for no other reason than human health from a very selfish human health reason why not stop it right we should be switching two V's for so many reasons because I mean people write to me all the time and they're like well I saw this study that shows that you know takes more co2 to make an Eevee than it does it takes 225,000 miles of driving before you get to zero okay let's just say that's true but coming out of the tailpipe of that Eevee for those 225 thousand miles is nothing nothing's coming out right they don't even put it they don't even bother putting a tailpipe on there there's nothing to hook it up to right um and again those studies are funded by big oil because as we talked about in our in-depth just a couple days ago there's a huge incentive to lie to you and make you think that v's are bad but just beyond all of this is air pollution well and why do you think these studies haven't come out before because there was no funding for them right I mean it's amazing to me that this funding happened in a lot of this funding came from the EPA and you might be saying well that's weird Zak because isn't the Trump EPA kind of awful yeah it is but we actually had a different EPA for the last eight years under a different president and that's when this got funded so that's what happens is if you don't fund the studies you don't find out the science well anyway it's time for the lightning round funny enough lightning awesome ace o--'s own but supposed if it ends up in the upper atmosphere does it end up giving us emphysema which is good thing well some interesting news here out of Minneapolis Minnesota the 46th largest city in the US with a population of about four hundred and twenty five thousand their City Council just voted to ban the construction of new drive throughs to improve road safety curb air pollution and instill a culture where pedestrians can freely and safely move about within the city limits so not closing old drive throughs if there's one existing but no new drive throughs and I thought this is pretty interesting because I kind of forgot that when you're sitting at a drive-through especially at rush hour you know it lunchtime there can be you know five ten fifteen cars all waiting and they have to keep their engines running if they want to keep the car warm in the winter cool in the summer so basically you just have a traffic jam around a building where people are eating that's kind of disgusting so yeah that's a good reason to ban it but then what happens when v's finally do take over well we have a different mindset about Drive thrus or will we still be feeling like well Drive thrus don't really make it conducive to pedestrians so we shouldn't have them but then there's gonna be autonomous cars pulling up to get a food imagine for a moment there's no cars on the road the road is divided up into like bike lanes and pedestrian walkway nice and everything is just underground just picture I know that it's not possible everywhere but it could be possible in some places yes I just want you to think about that for a moment you could have instead of an intersection you could have a big park I know right you're walking down the streets of picture New York right and instead of it just being like hustle and bustle and I'm honking I'm walking here and the loud cars and everything that's a good point because I mean in New York for instance there's the High Line now it's beautiful that tracks beep it's so nice I've been on and it's lovely right you're still above New York you have to you know contend with all the noise and everything like that but it's still nice it is a tourist attraction you just mentioned another thing I was in New York recently and the truck noise is unbelievable right if there wasn't a whole bunch of big trucks all the time and you just said something which I know a lot of people are gonna fight back here they're gonna be like how are you gonna get deliveries you can get deliveries under a building there can be an elevator down to the thing and you do this kind of see ya wouldn't figure it out and you can do it in chunks right you can just say alright take six Avenue all pedestrian walkway yeah I know it seems crazy but I mean if you did it if you did it imagine what would happen this future we could imagine where there's just no cars on the road and you don't worry about your kids going out and playing with their friends who live across the street because the cars are not there right they can oh just go for a bike ride alright so we're back from that discussion which had to go over to the patreon bonus stories because it was so crazily we went on a rant so rent you can see the rest of it on the patreon bonus stories but yeah we had to cut that off it's that point to see you got to if see where we ended up raising all right so model three and model y have had price increases last week not a big deal everybody don't get too upset everyone seems to freak freak out as soon as the littlest little update to the price happens to the model 3 or basically any Tesla they're just like oh my goodness and I just want everyone just calm down yeah keep in mind that every car company has price increases price drops I mean the model 3 performance went up a thousand dollars to fifty five nine last week but this is after a huge drop and exactly it's it's wicked cheap and then the model y has had a price increase so the rear-wheel drive long range is 48,000 the all-wheel drive dual motor is 50 mm and the model Y performance is going to be 61 thousand before incentives that of course is the model wide due out in the fall of 2020 mm-hmm I mean I don't think they're doing it to get you to rush to put your money down it's just that they know that that is the price they're gonna have to charge to keep their margins alright so at the Donner Pass in California the California Highway Patrol said this Tesla is out testing the new electric truck tractor the driver stated the concrete blocks are for testing purposes only according to the driver the truck is operating at approximately 75 thousand pounds and the truck is meeting or exceeding the range estimates electric trucks are definitely the future we look forward to seeing more electric trucks on the road so first of all kudos to you guys at the California Highway Patrol because you're awesome for saying that a lot of people have been like this is great the range is even higher on the semi-truck we don't know that for sure if you just said meets or exceeds so take take it easy but I would argue put it on the flipside if he was saying our range is worse then then that would be bad no in this true this is going up a mountain so it's really cool that they're having no trouble bringing the almost the capacity of the truck now the capacity of the truck is 80,000 pounds so they're almost at capacity keep in mind this is a class 8 truck with a either 300 mile range for 150,000 or a 500 mile range for a hundred and eighty thousand and to put it in perspective Daimler's ekeus Cadia electric truck just came out last week they delivered their first two and that has a range of 250 miles and it's not a class 8 truck and it can't tow a 80,000 pound right welcome Mazda we make fun of Mazda a lot because until now they haven't had a single model of electric car but soon they will have one and we will still make fun of them yeah apparently the Japanese car maker is testing its first Eevee in Norway because electric is posting these photos of what appears to be a cx-5 SUV body in camo and has no exhaust so it was announced in 2016 that it would come out this year but the CEO Akira Mehra Muto has confirmed it has been pushed back to 2020 Thank You Jonathan Rodriguez for taking those photos a good spot there Majesty you've seen this YouTube channel before right it's a UK's YouTube channel called car Wow they review lots of cars oh they have lots of drag races that's a bunch of Tesla drag race yes - they just came up with an episode that had the 10 best EVs and guess what was the number one the Model 3 because it's the it's the best DVD is they said quote it's the best electric car you can currently buy the Tesla Model 3 so Steven plum tweed at Rivi in' they said hi there i pre-registered for Rivi an SUV i noticed it has a glass roof is this a sliding roof or is it a fixed roof and ravine said hi Steven we will offer multiple roof styles including electrochromic glass which turns from opaque to transparent on demand a fixed glass panel a two-piece removable composite roof and a standard fixed roof what is electrochromic glass so I mean again as rivey instated it's this magic glass oh it's math do you like put some like electricity through it and it can turn from transparent to opaque and opaque to transfer you have to say transfer you know it's okay well it's just any sufficiently advanced piece of technology is indistinguishable now well from magic and this is one I've heard that it's very expensive the last production car I heard about it being on was McLaren and we know that a lot of the people at Rivia know a lot of the engineers are from McLaren maybe that's why it's there so I'm guessing there's gonna be a very expensive upgrade so 21 states and some big cities like Miami Chicago LA New York City Philadelphia and Boulder are suing the Trump administration because the Environmental Protection Agency the Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the clean power plan in June which will now make it cheaper for coal power plants so wait a minute so the EPA which again stands for the Environmental Protection Agency their own analysis of the EPA's own analysis of the new rules predict that an extra 300 to 1500 people will die each year by 2030 because of the additional air pollution from the power grid and the EPA's administrator Andrew Wheeler said in June that Americans want quote reliable energy that they can afford unquote adding that he expected more coal plants will open as a result that's why you got an EPA director that's his job to make sure that we got reliable energy we can afford a new paper published in Nature Energy concludes a combination of technological advances cost declines and government support has helped make rid parody a reality in China today so get this China has solar power that is cheaper than grid power there are the world's biggest installer of solar panels and the generator of solar power in the world is China good job John good job China on that one so check this out Jesse mm-hmm this finish company called solar foods has invented a process to make so lean what's so lean it is a protein powder made out of wait for it thin air I think the law of conservation of matter can contend with that I don't think you can make it out of it oh you're saying the air yeah get this you take carbon dioxide from the air okay you take water which I guess you get from the air okay and you add electricity from the Sun which comes through the air okay and you get this unlimited protein source according to solar foods so the end product looks and tastes like a wheat flour with 50% protein content 20 to 26 percent carbohydrates and 5 to 10 percent fat okay so what's the catch I don't know there's really no catch it takes ten liters of water to produce one kilo of Salone okay we put that in perspective uh-huh guess how many liters of water it takes to produce one kilo of beef Oh some more some more than 10 liters that so 20 20 liters 15,000 500 liters of water to make one kilo of beef right now the company just produces one kilo of saline powder per day but plans are to scale and release their product to the market in the next two years I mean this is that's like ultra vegan right cuz you're not even yeah you know you're not even killing anything usually you have to kill a plant yeah or at least take the fruit or whatever you have to do yeah to eat it and now all of a sudden you're not doing you're not messing with no life no that's yeah that's bananas I don't think we've ever I guess it's not been a nice that's like pacifist vegan or something that's beyond me again yeah beyond because that's the name of your product impossible vegan see this Jesse that is the world's largest all-electric ferry meet Ellen that's the name of the ferry yeah okay yeah she just made her maiden voyage last week connecting the ports of Sobe and fiandgeoff on the islands of REO and Alf's in southern denmark it is an all-electric ferry and it's the largest in the world I'm reading here it has a 4.3 megawatt hour battery and it can transport 30 vehicles and 200 passengers and it will save 2,000 tons of co2 42 tons of nitrous oxide 1.4 tons of sulfur dioxide and 2.5 tons of particulates from entering the atmosphere yeah I just want to stop for a second it's not that big a ship right I mean we've seen bigger ships yeah I've been on bigger ship and in one year let's just take that last stat you gave point 5 tons of particulates particulates are those little tiny PM 2.5 particles you can't see them you can't see them are so small that like they get into your bloodstream this one bow would have made two and a half tonnes of that if it had been diesel can you even imagine a pile of all of this it's it's like smaller than it's way smaller than soot right right and so it's a rock load of soot that you would just and this is just one ship so imagine what's out there what's being produced as we speak right all right it's time for our video contributor story now if you're watching this and like what's a video contributor story well it's a story that you as a as our viewer can contribute to us we love them on the show you just make them two minutes or less don't add any music make really good audio by using like a good mic or not standing in the wind and put some b-roll in there check out this story we got from tune and Julia Isaac and Jessi I'm here with your HQ building robots as you know and guess who's here also Julia we actually met through the channel yeah she was on the road

weeks in the company all right guys thanks for watching the video we had a blast here at the bureau headquarters yeah I met toon and Julia on our last euro road trip um Julia was fantastic doing amazing things in Germany to try and get solar energy in her country and then she saw toon on one of our episodes they connected she went over there it that's just wonderful awesome and you know it's also awesome build your own robot yes for those of you who have kids I mean we talked about this a bit of a while ago so I mean you know if you start think about birthdays maybe maybe Christmas or other holidays build your own robot kit makes building a robot extremely easy I mean I've done it with I believe a six year old and they had absolutely no problem building their own robot out of cardboard let's put a link below here build your own robot supplies are limited so you better better hurry up yeah all right it's time for our patreon bonus stories if you can't get enough of Tesla time news head over to patreon right now and as for as little as a buck a month you can support us on the show and get to watch so much news you're not going to know what to do it through some so head over there now [Music] we're back from the patreon bonus stories it's time for our patreon shoutouts these are people who support us with five dollars or more a month and they end up on our end credits to the show who do we got this week Jess we have Mary Ann pre who's Carrie B Clements David Cho the Klem stirs HT charlie Nathan zero four nine zero Joel Frederick we did it again three weeks in a row that's I thought for sure this would be the week we wouldn't make it so I was very like ready for yeah this is it this is a big way Wow to mispronounce more people's names yes because thank you so much we just want to get through all right it's time for Ilan Swedes of the week here we go this first one I'm a little worried about him Jessie so please help me out he said no but seriously don't do it what does he been on medication now he's drinking alcohol no this is memes oh okay so everything's okay yes this is this is what we call memes oh it's so unfunny okay good thing how about this one then awesome again okay I feel - right it's it's memes it's just funny jokes gotcha so uh Kaz said thank you meme lord 69 and Ilan said stop posting my password on Twitter giggle I love NASA and then Elin said that was my actual password at one point his password was I love NASA are just scary cuz he owns a car company alright let's get into the series sweet there David Abram said Elon is it true that the model 3 sound system is on some level a bang Olson Elon said Tesla audio engineers come from B and O and many other companies they literally Rock our system is highly programmable so we keep improving it via over-the-air codec updates but here's the big one that's important to me in Elon we trust said love to have Spotify Premium support anyone said coming okay this is a big tweet I know you've heard a lot of things about Spotify but this is the first time where he's actually said that it's coming to the cars and then we just had to put this tweet in here it's not from Elon it's from someone else but check this out I mean other thing was that isn't a century camera that's a different camera well it shows sentry mode sentry mode turns on but it wasn't the Sentry mode camera so I don't I don't understand where they got oh I see this is separate photo I get you yeah all right time for community mealtime we got a lot this week Jesse first of all Scott's a baller he's a king Jesse so I'm too old and fat to be much of a baller but I still carry a basketball in my trunk and what I found out was it if you look at the trunk there's this little area over here and if you put your ball in it and push down a little keeps it securely in place so you know yeah I don't care what you say awesome shot there Scott and so you can do with soccer ball well and oh I bet you can and thank you for that tip I didn't know you could stick the ball there and it would stay that's great to know this is and why doesn't test to tell you this was it designed for that or is it just something he figured out it's really good spot for a first aid kit now remember a week ago we talked about the Hyundai Kona coming to India and we didn't know if that was a good thing a bad thing well a friend send deep told us this the Hyundai Kona electric was launched in India on July 9th with the price tag of twenty five point three lakh Indian rupees which is thirty five thousand five hundred US dollars which is a midsize SUV with a premium price tag the car market compared to two wheeler market is very small in India but SUVs are being sold in high volumes a year by year the recent cut down on taxes on v's from 12% to 5% could help reduce the price of this car but when it comes to buying this car it still costs two and a half times more than the diesel petrol SUVs moreover Hyundai released the thirty two point five kilowatt version of in India claiming a range of 450 kilometers or 300 miles which is not true with no charging network on highways the SUV is useless as many buyers take long drives every weekend in India to their hometowns it is a first step towards evey future in India but it is happening very slowly so thank you Cindy because otherwise we'd have no idea if that was such a good thing a friend Sachin wants everyone living in Snohomish County Washington to know that there is a fantastic rebate offer on the 2019 Nissan Leaf it's $3500 for the 2019 leaf with the 40 kilowatt hour battery and to 25-hundred dollars on the leaf with the 62 kilowatt hour battery you do have to be a customer of the snow machine which is just north of Seattle in the Puget Sound area so it's a pretty small audience he knows but he wants people there to be aware of this so thank you so I was Tooting our own horn last week talking about how Eko where's planted 300 trees right well mark wrote to tell me a story about how when he was 18 he and his father planted 45,000 spruce and pine trees on land that they used to live on in Quebec Wow see this little map here I found it on Google Maps that whole little rectangle there they planted that is what forty five thousand trees looks like and it just put it in perspective for me it was like wow the legacy they left behind is a forest right and then I found this picture of what it looks like from the ground on Google Maps and basically they planted that row of trees there to kind of block the wind from a local pig farm that was making the smell go onto their property so so amazing what could happen after you plant that many trees like it was all just seedlings now it's a forest Wow alright so Rohan shared this video of an awesome charging station just installed in his hometown hey Zach and Jesse I'm here in my hometown of Newcastle Australia and the City Council has just installed five electric vehicle charging base with 222 kilowatt Joule type-two output charges and one tritium 50 kilowatt DC fast charger the best chart there's the thing about this charger is the roof above me is a 44 kilowatt solar array and it feeds a hundred and twenty kilowatt battery stored under the stadium here which directly feeds all of these charges the council has a couple of these going in over the next six months but in Australia this is a really good to say there's not much it cut AV charging infrastructure going on here everybody loves the petrol cars here so that's all good to see no you know Thank You Rohan that's awesome and our friend Greg wanted to let everyone know that there's going to be Elektra Fest 2019 on August 24th in Vancouver Canada where you can test numerous TVs and Tesla owners are participating in ride-alongs he also told us this story about his daughter who's working at a school where the kids recently took a field trip so they got in a bus about 15 kids 6 to 10 years old they went on this 25 kilometer bus trip and guess what they play it on the ride 99 bottles of beer on the wall nothing but oh no uh this is the song that never ends and they're done and my friends some people started singing it not knowing what it was I think I've done right no well I mean they might have played that but they also play this huh spot the Tesla as Greg said they called out Tesla whenever anyone saw Tesla and they would all then look they didn't call out Ford or Chevy they all know what a Tesla looks like what do you think they want to drive when they are older that's cool I remember when I was kid on the bus all we tried to do is get truck drivers to toot their horn and then the teachers got really mad at us so Christo shared this with us it's a great charging and recycling station at the Bocanegra hiking trail at the National Park in Albuquerque New Mexico so you want to know where Greta is Janna she's already traveled over a thousand nautical miles here's where she is that looks like the middle of the ocean yeah she's in a sailboat she wants to come to the US but she doesn't want to spend any carbon so she's taking a sailboat all the way sail the ocean yeah she'll be here in five to six days docking in New York City and we would love to have a big greeting party for her we don't know exactly when she's docking but you can track her progress here so keep track of when she's coming and then if you live in the New York City area get yourself down to the harbor and welcome her and a friend Matt over at sunlight conversions is going to be leading this charge she's been talking to a lot of people on our discord trying to organize an event we're gonna see if we can put together a Facebook group and will will probably be posting it's probably on Twitter check it out on Twitter [Music] [Applause] Friday night advisee science [Music] so we've been hearing a lot from friends all throughout the u.s. that since we complained and by we I mean all of us tweeting and sending social media messages to Tesla the Tesla has made a change to their customer service system now allowing phone calls to a real person at Tesla again and even allowing you to leave voice messages so this might have just been a few people I want to make sure it's happening to everybody let us know if you've had a similar experience because we might have actually made a difference all of us a week or so ago when we started tweeting at Tesla that we're not happy with their customer service yes so let us know down in the comments below so our friend Munn dogís was driving his Model S recently and got hit by a driver who then drove away now luckily mundaka says Tesla cam caught the accident and the license plate which made his insurance experience a little bit easier now it has spoiled his planned European road trip next week we're really sorry about that dude but at least you caught the guy who did it and drove away and our friend Paul from tefa sent us this awesome drone footage of the recent Taiwan electric vehicle Association get-together Paul I have to hand it to you you always have the best drone footage and that location holy smokes yeah cool that's wicked cool yeah now share loves to ski and snowboard and share will be turning 75 in a week so happy birthday sharing so share did a hundred days of skiing and snowboarding last year but she you just said she's gonna be turning 75 yep a 75 and she did a hundred I look okay I used to do Ski Club as a kid I probably did maybe ten days of skiing and it was like after school so it wasn't even a full day and like that's about all the skiing I could do and that was in my prime get this she wanted to break her record and make it a hundred and twenty five days but to get in the last few days up at Mammoth and she wanted to pull her new teardrop trailer and she had never pulled the trailer before so her son helped her hook it up and she went off and she got to her hundred and twenty-fifth day on July 28th she says I just love my cars almost as much as I love my children big Tesla grin alright some for our on-air question and if you join us on page at the $4 level or higher you can put your question every week and we're gonna choose one for on-air so what do we got this week Jess we have Julian he says hi guys I'm a proud new owner of a model three standard range plus there is quite a buzz with the model three right now in Quebec Canada I've been following you for a long time and I've decided recently to be on your patreon my question apart from tweeting to Elan or applying for an engineering job at Tesla is there any other reliable way I can suggest product improvements I want to participate in the next over-the-air updates to come yes you can it's called more Tesla calm it is a fantastic resource of you can upvote and downvote things you know ideas and features and bug fixes so go check it out more Tesla calm and the results of our patreon poll this week are pretty important because they have to do with customer service the question was with the experience you've had with Tesla customer service could you recommend buying a Tesla to a friend and a hundred and sixty-six people said yes I'd be happy to recommend buying a Tesla and 24 people said no not what the experience I've had with this kind of fits what we've been saying which is that most people experience a perfect flawless wonderful experience it's just that every now and then there's not such a great experience and they do a horrible job at that point of the communication and customer service that should take place from that point on right it's like they don't know it's like they're deer caught in the headlights when there's a problem what we do know all right it's time for

could we could get them to because we want to talk to as many people as we can while at the same time you know we don't want to just be talking to random Internet randos it's not a very fun time like when we talk about you know more nuanced topics just like on this show unfortunately we get a lot of people who don't seem to be able to handle nuance but everyone on our patreon seems to be able to handle nuance which is really really nice and we're actually able to have a more detailed deep dive discussion on the patreon bonus stories and also show footage that we normally can't show on this show show there's so many exciting things that happen every week just in our community and like what what we showed with keyonnah and Julie are meeting each other that was on our video contributor story these are two people that we met in Europe and they got to actually get together and work together and that was just heartwarming so I mean be or is this build your own robot company we're helping them out on letting people know about this fantastic product they have and I can't stress enough how cool it is to work with kids and and technology and see their little minds like start to go like because you don't get this stuff in school unfortunately like be or should be in every school kids should go to school and play with technology and robots and motors and because it's not the 19 like 30s anymore no we have this technology we have computers but they're just everywhere in our lives you are never liked more than a couple feet from a computer usually because it's in your dang pocket well and you know it's sad about this is that the kids would get it right away it's the most teachers and schools that B or goes to and tells about this they're like well I don't know how computers and dueños and too complicated right well you're you're keeping your kids back from learning so I think that's why we're so excited about this product cuz at least you know you can get this for your grandchild your nephew your kids and you can play with it at home and they can start you know adding on to what they're getting at school they can learn how to code they can learn how to build an engineer and solve problems and I mean we've made a whole like Mission Control thing so that we're part of it like it's just fun to be part of it so if you're thinking that might be cool go
