Tesla Just Killed the Future of Electric Cars
Rev up your engines okay it cost a lot of money to Ure a Tesla why the average Tesla cost $3,945 per year to insure in Tennessee to insure one of my cars it cost me like $350 a year but you start wondering because if you go to their higher end
Ones like the model S $495 you’re almost 5 grand now why is it more expensive well for various reasons a lot of people if they don’t understand it you better do a little research before you buy numeral Uno they cost a lot of money to repair when they get
Wrecked because they have big electric batteries on the bottom of the car for weight distribution and various other things you get in a wreck if that bottom gets damaged the battery gets even dented the insurance companies have to replace the battery because it’s a danger a fire danger what if it shorts
Out because the metals bent and it’s touching battery sauce you get a Tesla some of those battery replacements $20,000 who’s paying for that the insurance company if it was in Iraq right A lot of times they don’t even pay for that they just total the car give
Her whatever it’s worth right since they are extremely fast the faster cars tend to be in bigger accidents charge more money then it’s one of the reasons exotic cars sports cars cost more to ensure they get in more exits cuz people drive them faster you add a lot of stuff
Together electric cars now are more to ensure I can guarantee in the future it’ll be even worse if there ends up being millions of them on the American Road guess what your insurance rates are going to be going up the W Zoo they weigh more because of the battery so
When they hit something there’s more mass they’re going to do more damage to the other people’s cars that your company’s going to have to pay for so everybody tells you we’re going to save money with electric cars no we ar we’re going to be paying it through the nose
Not to even include the price of electricity which is already starting to rise they’re going to have to make more generating stations and more transmission lines and everything else to get the electricity to charge your electric car right it doesn’t exist now that’s going to cost a fortune who do
You think’s paying for it we the consumers it won’t be cheap filling up your electric car with electricity in the future if there’s millions of them because they’ll just start jacking that up and what are you going to do generate your own electricity yeah yeah just price what solar panels and stuff cost
And you’ll think gee do I really want to spend a 100 Grand have my own electric producing company I can buy a lot of electricity for $100,000 right and then I don’t to fix them when they break cuz it’s them making the electricity not me so think about that before you buy an
Electric car well I was reading an article in the New York Post and I have to agree with it the headline was UAW strike shows the big three automakers are already in the scrapyard because they try to S you know the big three American Chrysler Ford and GM well to
Begin with Chrysler isn’t American anymore Fiat owned them which is Italian now it’s delanis which is still a European company right so they’re not even included as American you might as well say the big too right and they’re not big anymore now C of course is part
Of stallas so you got to include all stallas but even so as stanus it’s not even the top 150 companies in the United States now it is larger than GM it’s worth 50 billion GM’s only worth 33 billion but it’s only half the size of Starbucks drinking coffee right and less
Valuable than the company that makes Monster energy drinks so you know when it used to be there was a lot of employees there aren’t that many left their power is dwindling and Ford and General Motors combined are worth only 10% of what Teslas they don’t have the
Power all the people working all the money it doesn’t exist anymore it is kind of in the past the big three is more or less in the past they are fading away look at Ford they had more recalls than anybody else the year before and this year they’re still leading in most
Recalls of problems making them they’re screwed up companies and what are most of them doing they’re moving their production down to Mexico as we speak Chrysler stops to maxico GM and Ford pulling stop to maxico as I said in New York Post and I quote among the US
Factories that produce the most cars and trucks as opposed to the ones that produce the most headlines most are owned by non us companies and operate in right to work states the unions don’t have the power that they used to have everything’s changing you can forget the
Big three look at this the number one car factory in United States are makan stuff is Teslas in California number two is Toyota in Kentucky number three is BMW in South Carolina number four is Toyota in Princeton and finally number five is Ford making their Superduty TRS
In the right to work state of Kentucky where unions don’t have any power as the unions fade away so do the what you call them the big three aren’t that big anymore right the products they make don’t hold up all that much I a guy the
Other day come over here he was driving a Honda I said Well why’d you buy Honda he said well you know I was smart enough I leased the Dodge Ram but it fell apart it’s piece of crap so then I leased a Ford F-150 said it was a pile of crap it
Fell apart so this time he said I bought a Honda truck and he’s happy with the Honda truck isn’t breaking down eventually poor quality catches up and the big three are no longer big anything because they elps in quality they laps in all kinds of things the majority of
Their stuff they’re making it down in Mexico now and we all know what the quality of Mexico is but it’s pretty crappy red M JR says my Toyota Burns oil I got a 2015 Highlander 2.74 cylinder I bought used 3 years ago Burns half a quart of oil after 2,000 miles is there
An additive I can use to keep it from burning you’re burning half a every 2,000 Mi not outrageously but it’s burning all okay first thing get the PCV Val they don’t cost much $15 $18 change the PCV valve I got a video show you how to change it watch my videos on YouTube
Comes off snaps on snaps back in right they don’t cost much get one and get one at the Toyota dealer don’t buy a cheap one like at AutoZone or O’Reilly because those are Chinese crap and sometimes they don’t work get one at the dealer if
That solves it great you got a cheap fix if it doesn’t unfortunately you bought the vehicle used the prev previous owner if the PCV doesn’t fixed the previous owner didn’t change the oil and off and now your piston rings are worn and there’s nothing you can do about that
Except the head oil as it burns out this is why I tell people don’t listen to any of the crap the companies give you change your oil and filter every 5,000 mil use full synthetic oil and use a high quality oil filter synthetic oil filter then you won’t have such a
Problem but you bought it used the previous owner obviously if the PCV valve fix it great then there’s no problem but if that doesn’t fix it the previous owner just didn’t change the oil enough and now you’re going to have to burn a little BL oil and you got to
Add the oil there’s nothing you can do about it piston rings are steel and when they’re worn they’re just worn and it will burn a little bit half a court every uh 2,000 miles isn’t that big deal you know try the PCV V might fix it check it out Elon musk’s up something
Bizarre look at this he’s building this water feature in Austin they’re going to call it a gig water loop as you’re close you see a bunch of the big kind of waterfall I think Elon took a trip to Houston and they have this giant water wall in the Galleria area it’s beautiful
Big round thing it’s up in the air and the water comes down you walk inside right I guess he saw that T he one up them and in Austin he’s going to build this giant water feature around his little Headquarters in Austin Texas now if he knows anything about Austin it’s a
Semi arid almost desert climate somewhere so throwing water out all over the place maybe not such a smart idea have it flowing on the top and little water Falls going on but you know with all on you never know what the guy’s going to be up to but that’s what an
Artist rendition is of this interesting looking park with walkways and all this stuff right I guess you guy’s got so much money what he can do whatever he wants right and if the water people say Hey you shouldn’t do this I’m sure you’d find some way to bribe them so they’ll
Let them build this water feature in Austin Well since the offshore wind here in New England area is starting to fall apart now New England states are acting jointly to bid for offshore wind Connecticut Massachusetts and Rhode Island are getting together to try to get enough money to get offshore wind
Built they got these you know rules they made by 2030 you got to have so much power well as I tell people this is not an efficient way to generate electricity and here’s the farce of it all during the last week Massachusetts approved legislation for South Coast wind to pay
The power companies off the contracts that they PID them to build stuff and they’re paying the local power companies Nation you know grid ever Source energy and Unitil total of $60 million to terminate contracts so they got to say they had contracts with them now they’re paying them off 60 million bucks pissed
On the toilet for them not to build them right and here’s the hilarious thing I don’t care what anybody says you have to look at this stuff scientifically wind power is a joke you ask any real scientists to tell the only really way to do it is nuclear power that’s that’s
Just about it because listen to this Rhode Island is seeking 1,000 megawatt of of offshore Wind by 2033 they’re planning 1,000 megaw that’s 1,000 megawatt you might think oh 1,000 megawatt look at all the power and that’s what they’re planning now what might happen what they’re want to plan
Th000 megawatt right okay now how much power does Rhode Island use they use 7,700 GW of electricity and they want to have 12200 megaw by 2033 1,000 megawatt is 1 gwatt and they you 7,700 GW of energy so we’re talking about less than 1,000 of a percent right they use 7,700
GW and this thing is going to make a little bit over one gwatt so you’re 7,699 gwatt short of the Power Road I would use building these super expensive offshore wind turbines it is a joke people it’s when I read this I couldn’t help but laugh they said well we’re
Going to have 1,000 megawatt but by 2033 since a gwatt is 1,000 megawatt through the math like I said it’s less than one 1,000 of the power used anybody that thinks this crap is real has lost their minds they’ve totally lost their minds so if you never want to miss
