You Say We Hate Tesla… But…
Since last month's video on our responses to some commonly-left comments fared pretty well, we decided to finish off June with another one.
This time, we're focusing on some of the ways we relate to cars and car companies, feedback on our staff car saga, and how we get hold of cars to review!

01:15 - Happy Pride Month!
02:47 - Stop being MEAN to ELON
06:22 - Comments on our families.
07:23 - Fair critiques of car companies
09:09 - Swearing off a company from one experience
11:43 - How we actually get access to vehicles
14:45 - Borrowing/Hiring vehicles to review (and the logistics of that)
18:17 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

How To Beat EV Depreciation (Plus Why It Happens)

That's causing some people to argue that EVs are a poor financial decision, and that lowering prices is a sign that nobody wants to buy them. ...

    If you want to review a Cybertruck, I have to believe that Zack and Jesse at _Now You Know_ would lend you theirs for a little while. Their whole gig is: Buy a Cybertruck, buy an F-150 Lightning, and buy a Rivian R1T and put them through some Actual Pickup Truck Life (such as it is in Massachusetts) to see which is good at which task. While they are certainly a very Tesla-friendly channel generally speaking, I think they are interested in doing a good job as journalists so hopefully they will be receptive to you guys if you reach out...?

      Actually, we are following a lead on one. For what it's worth, we specifically do NOT buy and sell vehicles in quick succession for a number of reasons. First, that's NOT how REGULAR people buy cars. Owning them for extended periods gives a far more realistic real-world experience, and allows us to report on issues far further down the line. Second, we couldn't afford it. Nikki actually purchased her truck NOT through the business for a reason: it's a family vehicle and a work truck that she and her wife claim miles on when it's used for business purposes. Third, We want to promote long-lasting EV ownership, as that's the only way people will be able to lessen their carbon footprint long term!

    • @oooChickenatorXooo
      @oooChickenatorXooo День тому

      ​@@transportevolved Oh, no, they're not buying them one at a time.... Zack and Jesse bought all three pickups with the intention of owning them all long-term, and putting them through their paces over the long haul. Their stated goal is they want to be able to say "I love my cybertruck and all, but after 100,000 miles This Bad Thing happens, and here's how you fix it, and it's actually pretty minor when it happens on the Rivian, but it happens at 75,000 miles..." etc. This is why I figured they'd be willing to part with a cybertruck for a few days/weeks/however long TE needs to do a Proper Shakedown Cruise. But I am glad to hear you're managing to track one down without Now You Know's help. It's good to have Options. :-)

    There are SOME Tesla owners who truly believe their Tesla vehicle is superior in every way, and if you don't own a Tesla, then your vehicle is absolute crap and an inferior vehicle. The main function of any vehicle is to get its occupants from point A to point B. The lunacy around FSD seems to be constant with this particular group of Tesla fan people. When a Tesla vehicle fitted with FSD, that's activated can then drive itself without any human input ever on a long road trip, without incident, then it will be a time of celebration, but as it stands right now, drivers need to supervise their vehicle and be ready to take over and drive the vehicle if an issue arises, just like all non Tesla drivers do, each and every day, they drive their vehicle with that particular vehicle's safety systems activated. Then there is OPD. Considering the majority of vehicles on our roads do not have OPD, we all seem capable of bringing our vehicles to complete stop when we need to. The day when I can not drive my vehicle down the road and apply the brakes or not crash into anything while driving is when I need to stop driving and no longer own a vehicle. Purchasing a vehicle is a personal choice, I don't care what you choose to purchase and drive. it's your choice, and you need to show others the same courtesy.

    We need VAST population reduction by having small families. Solar panels are hot as they absorb light instead of reflecting back to space..? They may cause more warming....? Wind power slows the wind and may cause warming..? We must return to Amish style living and be sustainable .. we are very unlikely to avoid a zero polar ice situation and will have less land globally. With so many humans polluting and warming everything like houses, water, food, etcera, the change will accelerate and we are out of luck. EVs won’t stop it at all, and only drastic back to natural ways can help. ❤ Good luck and love to all folks.

      yep - what has your gender, marriage choice or even whats in your pants have to do with reviewing cars and keeping me up to the news? One of my favourite Home Automation channel owners recently had a child, and most of the channels have a reference or two to thier spouse or offspring regularly. After all, they also drive cars, or have to ride in them (no leg room in back seat - useless to familys ), or live with dodgy home battery systems ( sorry Ford.. NOT ). So family IS something that matters in my opinion in reviews. Keep up the good work, and consider that most "butthurt" people are sore because thier head is up there!

      Too often dealers will ride out with you, and they definitely won’t let you go out just anywhere, certainly not for several hours with very rare exception…for most of us at least. A review loan is often for a few days of independent operations, which is the point. You simply cannot get enough of a feel for the experience of a car in a short test drive. Anyone who has bought a new car knows this hard truth, discovering things days or weeks later. Remember that Tesla is unique in the auto industry in _not_ providing friendly review access. It speaks volumes that they feel they must closely shepherd the experience while other car makers trust their vehicles to speak for themselves.

Elon is wacky. But someplace needs to be open for wacky people to have free speech even if wrong. Don’t use X if you don’t like it. ❤😂 Now free speech - yes people can respond harshly, but allow it. You maybe are against free speech if you say it’s about criticizing government. That’s part of it but we need more freedom. If you dislike religious ‘bullies’ in public forums don’t listen. Public discussion areas are open for this nonsense - yes it’s sad but that’s free speech. ‘Wrong’ people need freedom just like they allow you freedom despite thinking you are a sinner.

On the Tesla thing, he did the best at getting the world of EVs rolling and for that I am thankful, but Elon is making bad choices as far as politics because the person he supports actually will kill Tesla and Solar City if he can and that's just the wrong person to back if he wants to keep his companies (or his family's) alive. I mean if you want to have more people buy your cars or install your solar panels don't promote the guy that will strip discounts and taxes incentives, that's just dumb to do.

    13:20 As I've mentioned before, I thought Eloń's response to you on the call was long, answered your question in a very measured way, and was respectful. He wasn't singling you out and saying you were k¡lling people by reporting bad things that happen with FSD. He was saying that journalists in general, if they concentrate on FUĐ relating to FSD, will effectively cause dəaths by prolonging and empowering the public narrative against such technologies. It also probably didn't help your standing with Təsla that soon after the call you had shows where you made similar accusations about the way Eloń had treated you. Had you taken it on the chin and considered his ideas fully, maybe we wouldn't be where we are today?

    Another good video! I actually have sworn off Hyundai/Kia because of three vehicles. My mom had a 2005 Sportage and I had a 2002 Sedona. In 2022, I rented a Niro EV. All three cars seemed cheap and had low-quality interiors. That’s why I will not buy a Hyundai or Kia. I honestly cannot believe you and Kate get flack for being gay in 2024. Who the heck cares if you’re straight or gay?? Why are you illegal in Florida? Isn’t Florida part of the United States and subject to the 14th Amendment to the Constitution?

    I think people want your view on Tesla because you tend to be more neutral in your observations, no fanboy crap. Having said that I don’t get the dislike of Elon so many have. He is not so much concerned about allowing people to bully, or even constitutional free speech. I think his concern is with a growing trend towards censorship by NON governmental groups, and perhaps government censorship through these groups, which is dangerous and illegal. Everyone should be concerned about that. Who cares if he claims to be a republican now, wrong is wrong.

    Keep giving EV and all automakers tough love. It is ok to be critical of someone or some company that could be better, or should be better.

    Actually it is having the right to tell people they are going to hell... because its called freedom of religion. I will argue with and ridicule such people every day, but i wont seek to imprison or execute them. Similarly you have the right to say what you like, which does not exist is theocracies. Think twice about condeming free speech.

    My dad and best friend have a kia Seltos and I had a Kia EV6, love the cars but service was hit or miss for them and me depending on the kia dealership. I sold my kia EV6 and got Genesis GV70 electrified. Which I have to say is great and a lot of people don't know about it, based on comments I get. The only thing to make it perfect would be a bigger battery. But 95% of my trips are around town and when I go out of town, it's just under 200 miles, so it is not an issue. The service has been better at Genesis but not quite up to BMW or Mercedes yet in my opinion. I love the channel, please try not to let the haters bug you. If someone has an issue with lgbt, why are they even on this page? Maybe the UA-cam algorithm is feeding them more lgbt content based on their history trail..... lol

    You are a very patient person, and as far as the commenters who are "butt-hurt" by casual mention of your lgbtq+ family ties, I have to wonder why they bother commenting, rather than just take their viewership elsewhere. I am gay, as I imagine some portion of your other viewers are, and I am happy to offset other viewers' disgruntled feelings with my own appreciation for visibility your channel affords. Thank you again, to the whole crew! p.s. I eagerly await any and every bit of reporting insight you can share as aptera production progresses, as it was exciting to hear they obtained major corporate sponsorship to build out production. I am one of the 47k reservation holders, and aptera seems the epitome of environmental responsibility that allegedly undergirds the whole point of ev transition, yet which is often forgotten in the circus of flashy excessively resource-heavy luxo vehicles crowding the ev space. (Sigh)
