Tesla Time News - Cybertruck Updates!

comfort, yeah, I mean, I'm not a comfort expert, okay, but I think what this picture really shows is that you could put a third row back there if you really wanted to, well, yeah, it's going to have a third row, I know , but we haven't had enough, you know, looking at the outside of the car, it was hard to see how you could fit in a third row and here you can see how you would fit. a little third row that was good for kids, so we haven't heard much about what's happening at Open AI. Remember this is the nonprofit that Elon started and then walked away from and now continues without him.

I think he's still on the board of directors. Anyway, I'm not too sure. We got this tweet from Samara T saying what open AI is. I no longer know of a nonprofit that took advantage of goodwill while quietly donating capital for years preparing a move to -profit that is now looking to license closed technology through a third party by segmenting the technology under the banner of pre-post AGI technology, so just to figure that out because there are a lot of tweets that you have to know how to encrypt or not. I have to compress it well to unzip it, it's basically saying it's open, ai open, it doesn't open anymore like if If they're taking a lot of the stuff they worked on and now turning it into a for-profit company by transferring all this stuff to a third, they even open up the AI ​​and Ilan said unfortunately I have to agree. that these are reasonable concerns, so it's a little scary that what Ilan created might go in a direction that he didn't want it to go correctly and then he moves on.

Ilan says that open AI should be more open in my opinion. all organizations developing advanced AI should be regulated, including Tesla and then viv from the third row. Tesla tweeted by individual governments or on a global scale, for example, the UN and Elon both said yes, this is, I mean, if you're new to this, it's something that's really concerned, it's concerned about AI, you know , and if you don't know why, just think about the Terminator movie and if you haven't seen the Terminator movie, what are you doing? Chevy is introducing another electric car, check it out.

This is the Chevy Menlo, yeah I remember this one, yeah the UH, looks like a great car, yeah well they'll only come out with that in China, do you remember that, oh right, that's why it put me off a little bit, right? and it is not. It's massively impressive in terms of stats, it's got four hundred ten kilometers or 250 miles of any DC range, which again means it's not even close, so we're looking at more like three hundred kilometers or 186 miles of range until it's pretty good. and it's still quite a bit. Well, it has a 110 kilowatt motor and generates 350 Newton meters of torque.

Excellent, it has DC fast charging from 0 to 80 percent in 40 minutes, so nothing spectacular, but reasonably good, yes it is comparable to the bolts, but you know it is worse in almost every way except. For one, what is that? The exterior, yes, looks good. The exterior of the car looks good, it looks pretty good and my question is why is it only sold in China, as I understand it, yes the statistics are not that good, but I mean. Look at the interiors for a moment hmm, they are quite similar. I'm just wondering why Chevy didn't take the bolt and make it look a little different because I think some people would agree that the bolt doesn't look like that.

Well, sure, it's clearly in its own kind of car class, it's kind of a compact hatchback, right, I think it's just because you can't wait until 2022, when Chevy will launch all kinds of electric vehicles that will tick all your boxes. I mean, yeah, I guess so. It's just frustrating that a pretty decent looking SUV is going to be produced, but only for the Chinese market. No, it's like why doesn't Elon do that? Now you remember that Consumer Reports has done it. I haven't always been the biggest Tesla fan in the last week, the Tesla Model 3 became one of Consumer Reports' top picks for 2020.

Consumer Reports senior director of automotive testing Jake Fisher said the vehicles perform phenomenally. People just love these vehicles, they are absolutely leaders. Over the years, they have made multiple changes to their motors, batteries, and other things under the skin of their vehicles. This is something they do continually, which is why Tesla rose the most of any automaker, eight spots to 11th out of 33 and the highest American automaker on the list, yeah, which is pretty sad I know, I mean, Tesla had the fifth-best road test score, just behind Porsche, BMW, Audi and Subaru, and Tesla topped Consumer Reports' owner satisfaction rankings at number one and the model three was chosen as the best from Consumer Reports. electric car I feel like Tesla finally got some justice from Consumer Reports, right, maybe they've driven the cars enough to say, oh these are cool, and then Elon tweeted this saying the model 3 achieves real range 350 miles versus the EPA label of 310. in Consumer Reports testing, this was an article that came out of Consumer Reports and then deep in the article there was a little mention that they had gone 350 miles in long range mode and I thought, what a long range mode , right, you can't, there is scope. mode like on a Model is where your car really has little range, we're talking just a percentage, you know the state of the battery and the charging points and the car will tell you to stop driving but it won't stop you from driving and apparently you can squeeze out another 40 miles of autonomy. range of the car even after you tell it to stop you can go 40 more miles and that's what they're talking about here and that's long range mode basically the car doesn't tell you that it has this extra range and there's a good reason why the one that doesn't tell you to do this and why I wouldn't recommend driving 350 miles in your model 3 long range because it really damages the battery a lot so don't do it, just know that in an absolute emergency that you're in You know, in the middle of a rain storm or snow storm or some kind of terrible thing, you can get more range out of your car in the worst case scenario, however, I wouldn't recommend it, I would still get it.

If you towed it to the nearest charger, it would be cheaper in terms of the amount of range you might lose due to battery degradation, but Consumer Reports wasn't the only place to review the Model 3. iseecars.com did its own analysis. and this was about something completely different this was due to the price degradation of your sonata car, not the battery degradation, not much different, so this is a 1 year old model 3. How is the price affected by being a used car? So interesting and that's why iseecars.com analyzed the prices of More than 6 million new and used cars were sold from August 2019 to January 2020 and identified the top 10 cars that had the lowest price difference compared to to their 1 year old used versions of the same vehicle and the cars with the biggest price differences, so the model 3 topped the list maintained its value better lost 5.5 percent of its value that's a loss of two thousand five hundred and twenty $ 9.00 what is the average Carlos the average so keep in mind that model three was five point five the average was twenty point one percent of the value in the first year of ownership Wow, I mean normally you take a car from the dealership and have lost, you know, tens of thousands of dollars of value because no one wants a used car, apparently this is not the case at all. a one year old model three, so my model three should have only lost five point five percent of its value.

What was like the worst car on the list? The worst lost forty-three point four percent of its value. What was that? That was a BMW. Series 7, wait, how much do they cost new off the lot? Oh, a lot, yes, so you take it away, let's say it's 80,000 mm-hm and it loses more than forty percent, so you lost thirty-two thousand dollars with the value is a lot, well, not a year, but I mean a lot , Yeah. I guess I could be left out of the lot, but I didn't necessarily like it. If you sold it the next day, it would probably be something different, right?

So this is really good.

news

for people who own a model three or for people who are buying a new model three, this is really bad

news

for anyone who wants to buy a used model three because it means that the Mallorys actually hold their value and this means that they actually It's really good news for Tesla because it doesn't make sense for you to save, you know, two thousand five hundred and twenty-nine dollars on average to buy a used model three when you could buy a new one um for not much more, so this creates this conundrum where like that I want to have used V's in the world um and I actually bought a used DV my Leaf was a used car it's value had dropped significantly its MSRP was like thirty five thousand dollars and I was able to pick it up for like eight so it was a big drop and I mean, it wasn't an old car when I picked it up, it was the end of Elise.

I think you have a right hand if I think about a two year lease, so it was in Excellent condition and everything, it was actually certified used and everything still had so much loss in value in such a short

time

, but here's the problem with the Model 3: it holds its value very well because I think it is a very usable car. in so many different scenarios, well Anna keeps getting better, keeps updating, the range gets better, it has more features, that's a really good point. I mean, my oldest blade is exactly the same as the day I bought it, you know, and I you know. minor repairs and things like that.

I think someday used model threes will go down in value and it will be a good

time

to buy one, but as of now it's not the time for that. Remember the last thing. week when we told you that Jaguar had to suspend production of the ipace due to it running out of batteries, well it looks like they are not alone, now Outta has announced that they will be temporarily suspending production of a Tron SUV for a week due to a suspected battery supply. LG Chem problems and Audi have revised their production figures for both the SUV and coupe in each model this year, from 70,000 to 40,000, but it's only February, yeah, well, I think they know they're going to have problems get the batteries they need.

I think LG Chem has probably overpromised that they have been signing contracts left and right with automakers and I think they probably can't keep up with demand. Yeah, that sucks, so Tesla started clearing the construction site for a Giga factory in Berlin. for two days, February 14 and 15, and then the Brandenburg Green League, a conservation group filed a complaint with the German court stating that Tesla should have waited for full approval and the court agreed and granted a temporary suspension of construction, so keep in mind that this is an artificial pine plantation planted basically to produce cardboard.

Also, by the way, I just want to thank Tesla Kidd Grune Hyde for these amazing drone images. Yeah, I mean, take a look in two days at what Tesla does. The team was able to fell trees and many of them, because they were plantation trees, they are evenly spaced, they are designed to be felled and they were planted at the same time, so they are all the same size, there is not a lot of complicated issues, felling these trees at this time, there was a backlash from Swift after this pause and Oliver Kerscher, a Green Party vice president in the balloon group, said in support of the project to turn a pine plantation into a battlefield, it is absurd , this has nothing.

To do with nature conservation we need investment in sustainable infrastructure and future-proof industry and we must also make land available for this. We have unprecedented species extinction in Germany, but that has nothing to do with Tesla Giga factories or wind energy. We need nature. and species protection where it can make a difference and not proxy disputes based on pine plantations ok wait I'm a little confused why isn't this part of the same group that just paused production oh no that's the National Green Party who came for the defense of Tesla, the local green conservation league, they are the ones who stopped Tesla and said we are not really trying to stop Tesla, we just want justice, we don't want one company to be able to do something that others can't they can.

In this case, the sessiles have gone ahead with cutting down trees because of one very important point, if they don't get the trees out of there by mid-March, then they have to stop cutting down trees completely and wait until fall, and that It is because it is the mating season of birds that begins tomid-March and there's a German law that says you have to let the birds find their nests, you know they make a home, you can't touch them until they've had a chance to have their little birds, so if Tesla can't get these trees out of there in mid-March, they will have to delay the gigafactory for 6 months, but why was that guy talking about wind energy?

Well, another group that joined the complaint is apparently a conservation group, but it turns out that they are an anti-climate change group that does not believe in climate change and are big defenders of fossil fuels, so they signed the lawsuit and not it. fortunately the court decided quickly. Tesla's favor, so plans currently are to open the factory in mid-2021 and Tesla said our goal is to replant an area three times the size of the factory plot with mixed trees native to its habitat and the potential to become in an ancient forest, the good news here. is that Giga Berlin is not only going to replant more trees and cut them down, but it will also have a solar roof.

I mean, this is going to be a completely sustainable factory, producing very sustainable cars, so look at Weidman. on the Tesla Motor subreddit said that by reviewing the data returned by the API, I see that there is now evidence of upcoming features to integrate electric walls and car charging, as Elon mentioned that this appears to be support for preventing car charging. Car drains batteries when the grid is not working. and maybe allow the car to absorb excess solar energy, so this basically refers to a guy looking at the power wall API code and seeing new things that have been added to the code, so basically this It is directly related to what Eric was. asking in May what I was asking, I was telling Elon, you know, hey, if I suddenly lose power, I'm going to be stuck using these batteries to power my entire house and it really sucks if you know that six kilowatts of that goes straight to La my car battery of course you left it plugged in overnight and like if you were asleep in bed you know at 1 in the morning you lose power and basically your car is going to suck all the power out of your electric walls let you in the morning with no energy to make breakfast or do whatever, so basically Weidman has figured out that there's some code here that will take care of that, yeah, that's exciting, yeah, I think that's really cool and, again, That's why it's amazing to have computers in charge of all these different devices, so I bring you more news about the Australian bushfires and the subsequent floods, you know, Zach and I haven't even been to Australia, we don't know anything about the Australian politics so if we tried to cover it it would be quite difficult no because it's literally on the other side of the world so luckily we have our friend Chris Vee from Australia who covered it for us thanks Zach and Jesse and also a big thank you to the By now you know that through your kind generosity, Emerald Australia and many others around the world have contributed over ten thousand dollars to the couple's fire fundraiser.

This money will be donated to the real New South Wales fire service and well the response around the world has been tremendous with many being donated to people like the Red Cross and real animals. social welfare agencies and this will go a long way not only to the effective survivors but also to rebuilding the communities they live in and also the habitats of the animals affected by these devastating fires. Our latest report on the fires for a month. ago and currently more than 40 are still burning in Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, and what fortunately would not exist around a controlling prism, today more than 11 million hectares or 110,000 kilometers of parks have been built and bush towns, which is about the size of England or perhaps Austria and Switzerland combined or even the state of Pennsylvania, it is estimated that one billion animals have been injured or killed and, sadly, 33 people have died, including five firefighters, three of whom came from the United States.

Now I should point out that in Australia we are quite used to it. Wildfires, or wildfires as you know them in the United States, typically begin in November or December and extend through the end of February in a pattern that begins in the north and then concludes in southern states like Tasmania, but this season has been very different. With the nation experiencing fires at the same time, this interactive map shows the fires from September 2019 to the 31st and as you can see, no part of Australia has been left untouched during the heart of these fires, our Prime Minister Scott Morrison is like the equivalent president in the United States. what a holiday, yes holiday, then, I know less why, because as he said, fires are managed by state and territory governments, not him or the federal government, so what turned out to be a truly unfortunate time in the one who went to have his mai tai. the beach while a country burned people and animals died in this short segment.

I'm going to illustrate our country's highlights and weaknesses when it comes to climate action and these fires because, as you will soon learn, it's been a long road to this. We started in 1992, when 20 signaled its intentions to join the Kyoto Protocol agreement, and fast forward to 2007, yeah, that's like 15 years later, we finally signed what the delay was. Well, in Australia, like most of the world, we had this either-or cycle. the Labor Party is a little more in favor of the environment and the Liberal Party is very much in favor of the fossil fuel industries and between them they still have the Kyoto Protocol because, in addition, a Liberal government in charge of the nation at the same time a point where it was said to do so was against the nation's interest, ironically, just at the same time as a major white paper commissioned by the then opposition labor party i asked economist ross garner to examine the impact of the change climate in the Australian economy and its recommendations in this regard. meet two long-term policies to improve prospects for sustainable prosperity published in 2000 target It's scary that economists have predicted that increased wildfires, higher temperatures, droughts and longer seasons will not have a massive economic impact if we do not act on climate change, but not on equal terms either. measuring the impact of disasters on our wildlife this year's fire insurance bill has already surpassed two billion dollars meanwhile, to the credit of various governments at federal and state or territory level we saw a carbon tax introduced emissions trading schemes renewable energy targets co2 reduction Strategies and signing the Paris climate agreement are great things, but unfortunately as the government changed our policies they were renamed or scrapped entirely so that here we are in 2020 having witnessed the largest wildfire season the country has ever seen. and we have a Prime Minister who is largely in the climate denier camp, influenced by the Murdock medium lobbyists and a member of his own cabinet who openly questions climate change; those may support the so-called gas or maybe just have a real passion in this life. wind turbines or even the introduction of nuclear energy in Australia, plus this tyrant government wants to manipulate our CO2 emissions to comply with the Paris climate agreement, yes, how good the gods did that the CO2 savings of the Kyoto Protocol will apply to total Paris percocets. and in Europe and its ability to achieve these objectives will be ruled out and Australia is the second largest emitter of CO2 per person in the world.

I can't emphasize it enough, many Australians are suffering right now the emotional trauma is Palpable people are angry, upset and mentally well in a space I couldn't even begin to imagine. They are furious at our politicians who, in the face of similar special reports from multiple scientific bodies, have been using lines like "This is it." It's not a time for politics or thoughts and prayers when it's already been going on for five months in a row, so fortunately public sentiment about climate change and the way fires are handled may always have changed. I must emphasize that we have some incredible politicians on both sides of politics. in addition to big companies and every day, moms and dads who support action against climate change.

Australia's renewable energy mix from solar, wind and hydropower is around twenty-three, five per cent and will hopefully grow to around thirty-five per cent in the next two years, the Capital Territory Australian that is By the way, the Australian political powerhouse switched to 100 percent renewable energy this year and an exercise in Luxembourg. Yes, we have one of the largest batteries in the world that keeps the lights on and reduces electricity prices and more interesting technologies and pipelines like Sun cable. The project connects northern Australia with Singapore with a ten thousand megawatt, 22 gigawatt hour solar panel. Try a mega pack or have it packed.

There is hope for us again and again. Thank you Zack Jesse and the viewers. Now you know, thanks Chris, you should go. Check out their YouTube channel, that's fantastic. We will put the link below and Tesla is also helping Australia very well. It's not necessarily Tesla, but the same guy who brought the Dale Horns power pack to Australia is helping to fund the solar and battery installation. Mike Cannon Brooks is that Atlassian guy who basically brokered the deal between Elon Musk and the New South Wales government to get the systems to communities that lost grid connection due to bushfires or flooding. horns Dale powerpack he is a big believer in climate change and solving all these problems, so he is putting up some money along with a lot of other people to create these types of off-grid systems for the communities that were left Without eleectricity.

Oh wow, these are pictures of trucks they bring. in batteries and solar and I guess those are Tesla batteries, those are Tesla batteries exactly, so you're basically setting up microgrids in a country that just lost its main grid in many of the places in the country, yeah, Mike said that in The future will see a world in which many remote communities operate on off-grid solar energy. To achieve this, we need the cooperation of energy suppliers. We want to work with them to identify those most in need in the area, so we will place the link below. to the website where you can basically identify the need or maybe you want to help them, so we'll put that link down below, but I think this is really great when there's a large scale disaster where the network is completely down.

Tesla can put their batteries there and really help and I think that's really going to change the mindset. I know it may not seem like a big deal now, but people who experience this firsthand say, oh, it's because there was a battery that stores energy from the Sun that allowed me to turn on the lights at night. I think that idea is going to spread much faster because, unfortunately, this disaster is actually very smart for Tesla to be a part of this and basically, it shows that it can be done not only in Puerto Rico but also in Australia.

I think this will start a much bigger growth movement and if you want to have solar in your home or big advocates for that on this channel, you can go. To our friends at Energy Geek, who have now rebranded themselves as Energy Pal. I mean, they're a really nice group of people who know everything there is to know about solar energy and can help you answer your questions and they're basically free to you. Installers are paying Energy Pal and Energy Geek to answer their questions. You won't have to pay for any of this and you will have someone on your side, such as your advocate or attorney, to guide you through the entire process. the entire process answering all your questions doing all the research for you and finding the best deal for your area.

The link for that is below. Be sure to let them know we ship it now. If you are not European, you may not know. There's a lot about the Renault Zoe being an electric car, but that's because Renault only sells them in Europe mm-hmm and it's a fantastic little car. Jesse and I saw one of them on one of our recent trips to Europe and it's also one of the ones she knows best. -Selling cars after having sold more than 250,000 units, almost 10,000 of which were sold in January. Wow, that's a 156 percent increase from January 2019. Yes, that makes it the second carReno's best seller in Europe and that's a 19% increase on Zoe sales.

From 2018 to 2019, what are they doing to make it so popular? I think the good thing is that almost every year they add more

updates

. The 2020 Zoe, for example, has gotten some interesting upgrades, a larger battery, so it has 52 kilowatt hours for a wlt P. range of 390 kilometers or 242 miles. Note that this is probably not a realistic range, but it is still a really good figure. 50 kilowatts of DC fast charging. They have a new 100 kilowatt motor, so it is much happier and still has a low starting price of twenty-three thousand. nine hundred euros or around twenty-six thousand dollars.

Wow, I mean it really shows that if you have a TV that's not that cheap but not that expensive, you can handle most of your daily driving because honestly, this would help you. Of 97% of what you need to accomplish in your normal daily life is going to be popular and now DC fast charging I think that's a game changer yeah so now remember we told you about the Tesla stock offering of 2, 6 million additional shares. That offering is now closed and Tesla announced that they raised net proceeds of $2.31 billion to strengthen their balance sheet and for general purposes.

Wow, I want to guess that one of the general purposes might be a Giga factory at this point. Keep Tesla in mind. the stock closed Friday at 901 yes 901 that's crazy so not only have the stock been up but they stayed there yes it's been a while keep in mind this stock offering was for a share price of 767 even. although it went down a little bit to unload these stocks, which I mainly think Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley took over, they went back up and again it's good news for Tesla because now I have a gigafactory which is not a big deal. that's like a free concert effect, yeah, remember all the talk about a year ago with all the grocery stores saying Tesla can't raise money, the markets aren't going to give the money?

This shows that Tesla just said the opposite. You give us a couple billion in the markets, I'm sure there's a couple billion here, thank you very much for your actions, tweeted Tesla hacker Jason Hughes. He spent a bit of time researching some recent Tesla BMS firmware. Some variables were modified to fit 108 groups of 450 volt cells. There is a pack ID that starts its life set at 109 usable kilowatt hours, over 400 miles, a bunch of other settings suggest preparation for new sx3 pack configurations at some point, what can be unpacked? That for us was very, basically, I was reviewing some firmware. and this is the battery management software firmware, this is a really similar way in the weeds, very deep firmware, so there won't be as many red herrings, so a hundred and nine kilowatt hour battery currently in cars is not It has 109 kilowatts exactly.

I guess this could be like a variant of the plaid Model S that you want to have extra range because you're bad or maybe you want to burn it on the track or something and note that this fits along with what Elon was saying during the call Bottom line is that it won't be long before we have a car with a 400 mile range so it looks like Tesla will be the first to get it right and that could be really exciting especially if it comes to the box because the box doesn't it's necessarily more efficient per se than we know, you know if it's going to have wider tires or something or a leaner, more powerful engine, it just needs a little more power.

I mean, that's another key point is that even if we're not necessarily looking for range, that's what you know, when you have a bigger battery, that means you can draw more power or of it at the same time you think about it.like you were drinking more straws, interesting if that makes any sense, that could be for the plant, yeah, you never know, good guess, yeah, okay Jesse, it's time for your annual eye exam. Okay, I'll put a number on the screen. Okay, and I want you to read it, what is that number that is 35? No, it's 85 30 35 no, no, that's 85.

Okay, I can see it. It looks a bit like how well McAfee made progress in threat research. They are a group of hackers who created. a slight modification to a 35 mile per hour speed limit sign, they added a little piece of black tape there, cm3 doesn't look quite right and they were able to get a p1 which is autopilot, one made by a mobile. I remember Tesla in 2016 and previously mobile, the Israeli company made the AP hardware and software, yes they were able to trick the car into thinking that sign says 85 miles per hour, okay that's terrible because that means people could just go out and They put some duct tape on the signs and they didn't just because there was chaos in the world.

Well, that's their story: they can basically hack the sign and make the computer think it says 85 and they posted a video showing the car just accelerate up to it, you know, up to 85, right, um, note that this It's level 2 autonomy software, so you are the driver, you're still in control, so if the car starts accelerating, you can stop it from accelerating properly and it's also not just an unguided missile, no, I mean, sure it's dangerous traveling at 85 on roads that should be traveling at 35, but it's not like first of all you won't notice it and second of all you'll still try to take corners. and also not hitting anything in front of it, especially if you were behind a car which on local roads will generally be set to 85, but just like on the freeway, if you had it set to 85 and you're at 35, you're going to get to 35 and when they released the video, people who don't fully understand how Tesla works, I think I thought, "Oh my God, there's another reason I don't want to use it properly and it's like you buy it." Any current Tesla will not have that hardware and will not even have that software, so don't worry, no car sold by Tesla today does not have this problem and it is also using a neural network that it learned.

So if you start learning that signs look like that and that's wrong, it will just adjust itself and there's nothing else, like a law that stops you from defacing signs. Isn't that like you know state or federal property does? Wouldn't that be illegal? Wouldn't you know? Couldn't you mess up a lot of different things by timing the wrong things, even humans, like I mean, if I go out and do a 45-mile run? an hour speed limit sign or I faced one to actually look like a 45 mile per hour speed limit sign to fool people as long as it was within a reasonable range, like oh I guess that would be right in your hacking people's minds just with some tape you would be hacking people's minds and just people would speed up and people would speed up and then they would stop them and then they would find a signal and then they would wonder who would go if you have Cod.

I guess there is some penalty. Well, and I also want to say that with GPS cars know where they are. You can program that on this section of the road at this particular point, that's the speed because that's what they already do now, so I mean this is an old story. If they had released this in 2016, we would have been talking about it like it was the greatest. I look exactly. I feel like they're behind here, but I don't know, so SpaceX is partnering with Space Adventures, a space tourism company to send private citizens to space on a Crew Dragon in late 2021 or early 2020.

Isn't it? a funny phrase? Yes, it is a space tourism company. Can we go to this? How much does it cost us? I don't know how much it's going to cost, but it'll probably be what you would say now, probably over a million dollars. Okay, what do you get for that? What is my way of being? They haven't even talked about the meal plan. I suposs you are well. so I guess it's like M&Ms and I mean another astronaut food, look I mean it's not the ice cream since astronauts don't eat that ice cream, well what would you get for this?

Basically, you have five days in orbit. Oh, five days. and five days in orbit above the Earth and will be at a higher altitude than the International Space Station. Oh wow, how tall is he? According to its marketing manager on Twitter, it will peak at more than a thousand kilometers, so it's more than double that. as high as the International Space Station, okay, so if you went on this mission you would be one of four people to break the civilian altitude record, sounds like a lot of fun, so I guess if you're interested you can go to their site website and there's something like contact us and I guess that's where they tell you the price and what so this is another source of income for SpaceX, you absolutely know SpaceX if you want a couple of volunteers to go there and film things for you. the reduced price of admission, where were you?

I'm sure, yes, I'm sure they could save like five or ten thousand dollars from the probably multi-million dollar profit. We won't eat much. I feel like I'm going to be pretty. hungry you know we could do what look at this the richest man in the world Jeff Bezos is worth a hundred and thirty billion dollars he just announced his 10 billion dollar earth fund said this climate change is the biggest threat to our planet with which I want to work with others both to expand the known ways and to explore new ways to fight the devastating impact of climate change on this planet.

We all share this global initiative will fund scientists, activists, NGOs, any effort that offers a real chance to help preserve and protect the natural world that we can. Saving the Earth will take collective action from big businesses, small businesses, nation-states, global organizations and individuals. I'm committing $10 billion to get started and will begin making grants this summer. The Earth is the only thing we all have in common. Let's protect together, so let's write a grant proposal to Jeff Bezos, ask him for some money to be part of Dragon and the crew, hey, we'll make a great video.

I don't see how that's related, it doesn't save the earth very well, I mean, I guess. we get some images of the Earth, which is possibly one of the big factors, you know, and it's like every astronaut who's ever been to the Moon comes home and has a very different attitude about the Earth and everyone who lives on it. , having the perspective of seeing the Earth. Earth from afar and say oh, that's my house and we all live there, so I can see that, but I want to talk a little bit about this ten billion dollars that the base house is going to give away, it's a really nice ten billion. dollars that could make a big difference, certainly, a couple of things I take issue with in his little statement, okay, he says they wanted to explore new ways to fight the devastating impact of climate change.

Maybe I would have said the word causes instead of impact. I can totally understand that you could use one or the other again, it's ten billion dollars, but if you have a hundred and thirty billion dollars to give up ten, that's actually a start. Well, I mean, yes, I'm sure it must be like that. It's hard to donate ten billion dollars, but and I'm not kidding about this, it must take a lot of effort to ensure the funds are distributed appropriately. I'm just saying if I had a billion dollars, I think I'd be cool, they'd fix me like I wouldn't.

I could keep a billion dollars for myself 129 billion why not hmm I said the same land he said is the only thing we all have in common I think we should know that I don't think we should get too hung up on numbers. I think the good thing is that it started and we can apply for this and I think if you are there right now and you are an NGO or an individual and you have a good idea, you should figure out how to apply and write a grant proposal and let's start working, let's start do something with this model, yes, yes, yes, definitely, yes, yes, yes, yes, but I'm just saying that we don't actually do it.

They contribute to climate change in the same way they do. I'm just saying you know ten billion dollars right we're all guilty of it although if you buy things on Amazon then you're buying you suffer it's true and I mean we even have that stupid affiliate link just because it's free to get money from Amazon because we know that everyone buys things from Amazon. I agree, but I'm sorry, you know, after watching this part of the show. You say, oh, there was a story there. I wish I could share it, but I'm not going to share an hour-long video.

Well, we now have a Clips channel where we take many of these stories and chop them up into a smaller, shareable clip, so head over to the Clips channel, subscribe and get notifications so you can see when different clips appear. It's a great way to get these stories out to people and if you're saying right, what am I? I'm going to do it, put it onon your Facebook, send an email to your family and friends and if you say I can't do it, I really like it. I would love to help Zach and Jesse, but I can't. do it, if you subscribe to the clips channel it will make the YouTube algorithm work, however it works, share the video on your behalf, oh that's one point, so if you just want to like it if you want it to be shared but you don't want to be the one to be like I watch this clip, you can just subscribe, that will tell the YouTube algorithm.

Hey, this is a channel we should suggest to people and that will make a big difference, so head over there and subscribe. You can even turn off the bail notification by clicking the bell. There are like three options. Satan doesn't even notify me when the videos come out because I watch the show every day. I don't need you to know notifications about little ones clips. Parts of this program just hit the subscribe button, that's all I ask you to do and it will help you a little. Okay, it's time for our contributors' video stories and if you have a story you want to tell on the show, fire away. two minutes or less without music in landscape mode send it and you can be here on the show here we have Peter from the new electric off road YouTube channel Hi ii Jesse my name is Peter Sitka from my YouTube channel called electric off road.

I've been watching you for about a year and decided to subscribe and sponsor because you inspired me so much. I have always liked off-roading and have even always had several military Humvees, but after looking here. For a while I completely changed my perspective and view on off-road vehicle drivetrains. The next track I'm building here will be based on the Tatra truck, which is possibly the best heavy off-road truck in the world. I decided to remove the 16 liter v10 diesel engine and replace it with drive trains from salvaged Nissan Leafs. Acceleration on this beast will be from 0 to 60 around 5 seconds, range will be similar to the Nissan Leaf, about 90 90 miles + - + but of course the truck can carry a lot more Nissans, these batteries, tons of them , so it can be upgraded or upgraded if greater range is needed.

These trucks will be built for off-road tours in tourist destinations and the entire process will be documented on my YouTube. channel so that other people can make the conversions. Thanks for watching and now you know. Well, I must say that I have seen many of his videos and I am a big fan. Now it's really fun for me to watch, yeah you got it. To go watch this channel, I mean it's going to turn this into one of the biggest conversions I've ever seen in my life. Yes, it will be really cool. Good luck, Peter. Okay, it's time for our bonus Patreon stories and if you don't know what it is.

Do we have a Patreon page where we raise money to put on the show? You can go there and support us for as little as a dollar a month so you can see all of our bonus stories that we're about to record like eight of. from them well and support the channel, you will feel good, we will get the support we need to move forward, everyone wins, okay, we are back from our Patreon bonus stories, a long and crazy journey that we solved, yes, we saw all the problems that we did, yes, universal problems, I think so, it's not garbage, these are people who support us for five dollars or more and really keep this show going and who we have this week.

We have Scott Stafford Papa car Chad Pickering Wayne goda James West Cedric Babb innovative sustainable solutions Russell Allen tawny zolina the third Robert hight nur Kenneth jhamora an FMC staff reaching a healthier place a turtle Guerra Perez Joshua and John ditomasso thank you very much for supporting this channel without which we would not have made the program And you would not have known the solutions to all earthly problems. You have to go see it. It's time for Ilan's tweets of the week. We have quite a few Bill Gates. He recently bought a new car. He bought an electric car.

Yeah quick yeah the tie so Elon tweeted last week my conversations with Gates have been disappointing to be honest yeah I mean a lot of people give Bill Gates a lot of credit and I mean he deserves it , see him jump over this chair. Awesome, that was at a tea that was during a TV interview, yeah, I mean, Yellen said it was true, that was pretty impressive and it was impressive, but it was during a TV interview like TV, yeah, so Matt Readlyn said no. the Neuro-Link team could. provide much higher fidelity data for this early stage alert system Elan and he's talking about dementia and Alzheimer's and Elan said yeah so that's just even if you didn't want to have anything else to do with the neural link just so you could be like if Alzheimer's was a problem, yeah, that would be I mean having a couple of years to prepare so your family can prepare for something like that could make a big difference.

This tweet from Elan rocket nose cone production in Texas and Tobey Lee said that he saw that sn1 had some buckling. between the welds is fixed now and Elan said the Hammer persuader will fix sn1 sn2 plus we will have a better fit and weld quality. Later serial numbers will use larger stampings, so the weld length will be much shorter. This tweet from Elan hello Bay to stack the starship's engine bay. The propellant tanks and the burning of the nose cone sections of the FK are almost finished, so Luke, in this video, they are building this giant assembly plant, that's what Elan talks about here in an interview with dr.

Robert Zubrin in the Elon space program told Zubrin that he will increase the number of workers on the spacecraft from 300 currently to about 3000 in a year, that's an order of magnitude, okay and how to get to the launch pad. Syd Evie said the spacecraft will move vertically to the launch pad. What is NASA doing with its old shuttle and Saturn tracked transporters? Ilan said he will put wheels on the landing legs and toes of the spacecraft on the launch pad and how it will get to the launch pad. Could the cyber truck tow a spaceship, in theory just a spaceship without superheavy?

And Ilan said probably another great use for cyber travel, there you go, and then Ilan said that the f9 iteration slowed down as the payloads became too important to risk. Few changes are expected in the future with Falcon. 9 and Falcon, the production of heavier dragon starships and therefore iterative improvement will be much faster than Falcon, which is striving for fully reusable orbital flight this year, so keep in mind that they need Falcon 9 to be able to do all kinds of things to make money. come from launching satellites into orbit and people generally don't launch them you two and I say people, you know, corporations put the same thing they do if they don't want you to make a lot of changes. your rocket and then give him your multi-million dollar satellite to place on top of it.

The surprising thing is that the Falcon 9 main booster did not return to the drone ship for one of the first times in history and that is news, but what is it? Really amazing about this tweet is the last sentence of a fully reusable orbital flight this year on a starship, right? That's crazy, that's crazy and then of course Elon is the meme master so the Muskie Pope said rate my meme master. Elon, if I can't see the corona virus, the corona virus can't see me and Elon said I rate it as a drag beast and for those of you who don't know, read the book, write a ladies guide to the galaxy.

I'm serious. read the book again it's like Terminator yeah you're doing yourself a favor by dueling okay Stanford community mail time so our patreon Fabricio wanted everyone to know about stopping the flow of money. Don't worry, they are organizing a strike on April 23 against Chase Bank. which has lent over a hundred and ninety-six billion dollars to fossil fuel companies now, if you can't get to a strike, you can still hit them at all these other banks. How does it hurt to move your money somewhere else, as we talk about in our own video that you can find here you can do it for free it doesn't cost any money because you are just moving bank accounts for free you can help defund the fossil fuels that we have already moved you have already moved moved over a million dollars of that so that's fantastic and keep in mind this also applies to retirement funds, all that money that's there, it's not actually there, they're lending it out, maybe companies of fossil fuels take it out of the fossil fuel companies. hands exactly put it in someone else's hands who will be the one who will invest your money responsibly you will sleep better at night so this London dollar wanted a pickaxe of the model 3 so look what happened to our worldly guest friends The other night, when He met a deer the other night, wait, it's a big bucket and it's outside the London family.

I think it was in London. Wow, Justin got a satin wrap on performance model three of him. It looks good, yes, and Lewis just bought his. first Eevee in Switzerland Hello guys, Lewis here from Switzerland I just bought my first car, it is our 2010 Renault Zoe with a 22 kilowatt hour battery. I bought it by selling some of my shares in Tesla, but not all, I ended up paying for myself. About a third of the car for me due to increased stock is a six year old car with about 125 to 150 kilometers of range. It's a fun and very usable little car for only 8000.

It charges pretty quickly up to 43 kilowatts, which is nice, love. your program thanks for everything good, that's amazing, thanks Louis and Darrell in England saw some envy for hundreds of people, oh, those are the Nissan trucks, yes, electric. Wow, why so many? I guess it's a business that just decided they were going to save some money. That's amazing, remember that. You can send your photos and other things to the program so we can put you here to test the weather news. Alright, it's time for the question of the week on air on Mike Neil asks: do you think star link will be available on our Teslas, if so can we park them in the driveway and make them a hotspot for our whole house?

Just think: when the Tesla wall charger can allow us to turn our cars into an electric wall. Visa V, the $4,000 third-party charger we will have the ability to go totally off the grid with solar on the roof, our model three parked in the driveway giving us Wi-Fi and power. Wow, I didn't think of it like that, yeah, I mean, not only that you could have it when you plug it in. In your car it is giving like an Ethernet connection through the charger, it probably wouldn't be the best because of the interference with charging, it doesn't work to charge well, yes, but you can do it through the AC wiring.

Oh, I was thinking you would. you have some data connection, some data lines that they went out to, and then the charger would have an Ethernet port that would be your router and then you connect your whole house, okay? I mean, it means that when you left your house with your car that everyone else in your family wouldn't have Internet, that's the only downside, but I understand what you're saying, but I see what Mike is thinking here, you know it's great, this is what's going to be fine or you could just live in your car, yeah. and this has a big solar panel roll on it, that's why we have to keep our eyes open for the StarLink IPO that should be and then if a couple of years yes, I mean, honestly, I just want the damn dish though, OK?

Sam, from the results of our patreon poll and we asked people if they own Tesla stock or not, yes, and we got an overwhelming response of yes, we own the stock, which is smart cars, yes, okay, Now it's time for the good news, the bad news, Jesse, I'm crazy, remember how? This works, you have to choose if you want the good news first or the bad news. I'll break the bad news first. Alright. Remember that we covered the Philadelphia Energy Solutions oil refinery that exploded in June 2019 here on the show. Remember a huge fireball pit on February 6, an Environmental Integrity Project report found that the p/es refinery was the worst refinery in the US for releasing the highest levels of benzene which, of course, We know it causes cancer and that was before it exploded.

Yes, that was before. blew up and then it blew up doesn't mean you're blowing it up doesn't help but that's not what they meant so that's the bad news, gross, it blew up so what's the good news, the good news is the The refinery went bankrupt and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross approved the plan to sell the 1,300-acre complex to a Chicago real estate company that will turn it into a logistics center, so think trucks probably won't be used anymore or something like that. In a refinery,workers will receive a severance package of five million dollars, so the total of each, no, they will know to divide it among themselves, okay, and the executives, uh, will receive 20 million dollars in bonuses and that is a good I work for you executives because of your lack of management. led to the plant becoming the most polluted refinery in the country, poisoning your neighbors, and ultimately exploding.

You deserve a bonus, so wait a second. You're telling me that the workers received five million in fees for hundreds and hundreds of places where this is divided. -Hmm and senior management probably fills a boardroom, they got $20 million because they abandoned the bankruptcy plan, you know, and the judge signed up. Wow, why didn't you know if I would love to come back? The good news, well the good news is that we've gotten rid of the plants, I know, but what are these top executives doing now with their twenty million dollars, probably joining another refining company? Here's his genius, so I know what I mean when I say we can skimp so much, but not anymore, he says you had the best refinery in the US what was better at was better at well, you know, let me digress for a bit. little and talk about something else, you're going to pay me more money, yeah, okay, well, I mean it really was good news, bad news, you know?

I feel like I've gotten out of that net zero. I would say we got rid of a refinery. I think that's good news, okay, okay, sign up for our supercharger reviews and these are sponsored by our friends at Evan If you're looking for great accessories for your Tesla, check out Evan X and use our discount code to save even more.

Blake Fuller is a racing driver, yeah, go see. our in-depth analysis I know I just told you to do that, but check out our in-depth analysis if you haven't seen it on Blake Fuller, yes he was nice enough to give me a ride around the Kota track, yes in his race car careers. They were catching up with McClaren, yes, on a racetrack. I think they were driving fast. I was thinking about this. We should contact Master Class because we are big fans and we should tell them to have Blake as a Master Class teacher. Yeah, because he knows everything there is to know about racing and drifting and safety and good point, I mean, right and v.

Wow, I heard through the grapevine, yeah, what he could be doing, you could be doing yourself, teaching people about safety, what are you talking about? I can't say more what, I'm sorry, I can't say that you left me, leave it, yes, I'm sorry. Oh anyway, if you guys are interested in the masterclass, it's an amazing site, Jesse and I weren't even asked to support it, we just love it. I want, yeah, we're always looking for things that we enjoy and that we can promote with you because that's what we do with our friends, you know, anyway, we were like, oh, I was watching this as a master class and our friends are like, what's my? school and then we tell people like, oh, it's like where you can hear great stories from some of the greatest teachers of our time because when you were a kid and I think I was like that too when you took a class in you know, in the middle school or high school you didn't seem to learn well unless you liked the teacher exactly if you liked the teacher it didn't seem to really matter what they taught you enjoyed learning it and I love you and that's how it was Even sometimes it wasn't even the topic at hand, like it just I learned things from them and that's what I liked about the master class, is that I don't particularly need to know how to be an actor or know how to be an astronaut, but I love learning from those people because I like them and because of what they have accomplished well, and It's not necessarily that you're learning what they know, you're learning how to learn, yes, and you're learning how they. achieving the things that they achieve is not as much as they are and then I woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning and I had to go write a script, right, it's not like that, they were like I got my inspiration from doing it. this or I learned how to promote people by doing this or if you're an astronaut you need to know how to do this or these skills are very important and by the way, I learned that those are very important skills just to live life on earth and for 90 dollars you can learn from one person, which is pretty amazing, but I think for $180 you can learn from all of them if you want and take as many or as few classes as you want.

It's really nice to be able to give that to someone and say, Hey, no, he's a great guy. I know you like music. Why don't you listen to Deadmau5 talking about how he writes music? No, I mean, I'm a composer. and being able to see deadmau5 or hans zimmer and how they compose is not that I want to learn exactly how they do it, but seeing how others get ideas from them about their creative process was very valuable, and that's why we plugged it. it's because it's really good and we were basically able to have this kind of no-strings-attached promotion and if you support the show it really helps us, it's not like we get a fraction of a cent when you help support you know when you use our code it's significant that we're like, oh god. mine, someone used it, high five for you, like yeah, that's cool, so that's something to think about, it really helps support the show, but you know it would be Patreon too, so, whatever , I mean all these names that you are seeing right now, yes, the more than one thousand three hundred names, those are our sponsors who have supported us and we cannot do the show without right and that is why we do an extra Patreon tour every weeks, that's why we do live streams every month, that's why we have lots of lovely benefits for people to earn.

We have a Discord so that way you can talk to each other on a platform other than Patreon. which is good, but it is, it's not great for instant communication of the latest happenings, whereas our discord is that place that you know we should do next week because I love it when people wait until the end of the show and watch until next week. I think we're going to tell you some things coming up about this that you'll only know if you watch the show and you won't know if you're watching next week's show at the beginning of the show until you watch this end of theprogram, does it make sense?

Yes, see you next week. You already know.
