[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
saying the ferrari laferrari which is
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
just ridiculous but that's going to
[TS]
00:02:12
◼

happen all the time
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
like you know you have to admit when
[TS]
00:02:15
◼

you're when you're picking like a cool
[TS]
00:02:16
◼
►
new name for something you have to
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
imagine how it's going to be used and
[TS]
00:02:21
◼
►
when you're doing something a little bit
[TS]
00:02:23
◼
►
unconventional like calling the new
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
model of ferrari laferrari you have to
[TS]
00:02:30
◼

expect that a whole lot of the press and
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
a whole lot of people are going to call
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
it the ferrari laferrari did not not use
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
it the way you probably intended the
[TS]
00:02:39
◼
►
name to be used and just based on that
[TS]
00:02:42
◼
►
alone I think that should probably tell
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
you maybe we shouldn't use this name
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
well they don't say the Ferrari let the
[TS]
00:02:48
◼

[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
everybody expected i mean it's been the
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
story itself is posting youtube videos
[TS]
00:03:09
◼
►
of like a disguised you know testing
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
mule type of thing where they got the
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
black paint over it and the fake body
[TS]
00:03:16
◼
►
panels and stuff it's kind of weird to
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
for the carmaker to be posting its own
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
disguised car running around cuz i don't
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
think that shows the car in the best
[TS]
00:03:24
◼

light I mean even in their official
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
website they have something showing
[TS]
00:03:27
◼

listen to the engine sound and i have a
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
video of the disguised car running
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
around the track don't want to see this
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
guy's car because it's like
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
intentionally made to look ugly and has
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
weird things sticking out of it and
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
that's not a good idea but anyway it's
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
you know mid-engine carbon fiber
[TS]
00:03:42
◼
►
supercar thing with a hybrid powertrain
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
which is the supercar fat of the this
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
generation
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
I don't mean a lot of people angry about
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
it thinking that it was some sort of
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
I guess these are people who don't
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
follow the car industry think it was
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
some sort of ploy for like to get the
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
ego people for like you know you want to
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
think that your green and eco-friendly
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
and an environmentally-friendly now
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
because you put this hybrid thing you're
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
super car
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
I can't imagine anybody who knows
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
anything about Ferrari or the supercar
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
market or anything thinking that because
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
since it's so clearly not the reason
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
like no one is going to be fooled into
[TS]
00:04:22
◼
►
thinking what how big is this engine
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
I'm looking for the displacement
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
well whatever it is it 800 horsepower
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
v12 it's like all but its fuel efficient
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
because it has a hot it's a hybrid gonna
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
not something i've been at least one
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
person will think the head it's 66 . 3
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
yeah so this is the second last and all
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
the engine you could fit maybe a few
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
ground up my engine you could fit inside
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
the displacement of the dungeon problem
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
you know the reason like Porsches doing
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
with their 919 spider and everything
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
like everyone's anything because it
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
makes the car go faster and the
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
interesting thing about hypercars i
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
think is a lot of people asking us to
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
talk about f1 which i personally know
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
nothing about but I do know that in for
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
various reasons f1 has a whole bunch of
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
rules and restrictions on what you can
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
put in the cars there is no such
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
restriction on a car that you just sell
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
to billionaires so they can do things in
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
their top-of-the-line supercar that they
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
can't do in their f1 car because of
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
various protection and vice versa
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
obviously the safety things that you
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
have to do for real cars that you don't
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
do with f1 cars but as far as I'm aware
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
i don't know i shouldn't even venture a
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
guess but I would imagine that hybrid
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
powertrains are not illegal in f1 anyone
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
know anyone to google that and give me
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
something on follow-up i actually did a
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
little bit of looking around right
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
before the show a lot of people like he
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
said have been asking us to talk about
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
f1 because on paper f1 is the perfect
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
meld of engineering and cars yet i've
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
tried a couple of times not very
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
seriously to get into it and i could not
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
grasp it at all in the sense that i
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
found it willfully boring and it's
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
always on if you're American in the
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
middle of the night and it's just not
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
approachable
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
I don't like Nascar I think as far as
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
ridiculous I don't follow any kind of
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
motor racing and I know that probably
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
disappoint anyone who wasn't born and
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
bred in america that being said the
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
curse system ke RS which is kinetic
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
energy recovery system which is the kind
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
of hybrid this is some teams in f1
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
either did or do you use it as far as i
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
understand and in fact i was looking
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
earlier and apparently they're
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
increasing the possible output of the
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
current system for next season two like
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
220 horsepower something that I have to
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
find that again see
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
are allowed to use batteries in your f1
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
car well it's not batteries it's
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
actually a flywheel that's the
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
interesting bit but this one has
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
batteries
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
I think you're right yeah i'm looking at
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
the page like this that you know that
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
the laferrari has a battery pack not a
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
big battery pack but a battery pack and
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
it does use you know the kinetic energy
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
recovery like when you're turning and
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
stuff like that to take access to work
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
for the wheels and of course
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
regenerative braking the whole nine
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
yards but there's also a battery pack
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
right so as per wikipedia as of 2014
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
power capacity of the curves units will
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
increase from 60 kilowatts or 80
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
horsepower 220 kilowatts does anyone
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
really use kilowatts 260 horsepower
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
there will be no this will be to balance
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
the sports move from a two and a half
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
liter v8 21 and a half liter v6 got
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
that's time
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
yeah well I mean those cars weigh like
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
you know 20 pounds i don't know they
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
have it there under 2,000 pounds right
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
that I don't know but I would assume so
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
yeah I mean so this district that's the
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
thing about the laferrari is there their
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
design Golden State design goal with a
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
people talking about what they didn't
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
they don't say as much but basically
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
when you add you know this hybrid
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
powertrain especially when you add those
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
battery packs that adds weight to a car
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
and you want the way to be down so their
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
goal was to you know can we add these
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
the these this hybrid powertrain which
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
gives us you know great low end torque
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
and lots of other positive
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
characteristics without making the car
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
porker because you know that the Tesla
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
Model S is a tremendously happy car
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
probably twice as much as this laferrari
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
right now so you can't just stop with
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
batteries will destroy performance
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
they're basically trying to balance how
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
big can we make the battery pack until
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
the point where the extra torque we get
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
from the battery extra power away from
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
that battery pack is not overcome by the
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
way to of the pack itself so they kept
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
trying to balance it if we do you know
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
if you make it too big just you're
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
making your hard works if you make it
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
too small you're not doing enough to
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
make it better is there trying to sort
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
of balance that equation there and the
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
first thing I did when I pulled up this
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
car on mine it was announced that the
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
auto show and I went to the laferrari
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
com was I went to the technical specs
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
thing I wanted to see what is the weight
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
how much does this car way and I don't
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
think that you listed the weight at all
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
i'm looking at the site now I think it's
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
still not listed
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
let's see tech specs I anyway I know I
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
know on the very first day there was no
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
wait listed for the thing and that is
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
not reassuring to me they talked a lot
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
about how they saved a lot of weight and
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
other aspects of the carbon i'm assuming
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
it's all making up for the for the
[TS]
00:09:03
◼
►
battery pack and they didn't of course
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
talk about how it lapse their test track
[TS]
00:09:06
◼
►
five seconds faster than their previous
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
car and all the other good things about
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
it but wait i think still is a concern
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
so this is kind of like a supercar
[TS]
00:09:14
◼
►
transitional phase i don't know if
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
they're transitioning entire to electric
[TS]
00:09:18
◼
►
or whatever but like this this system
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
where you have to power trains where
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
you've got your big gigantic good
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
old-fashioned engine incredibly high
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
revving very powerful
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
all good things right and also a little
[TS]
00:09:29
◼
►
bit of an electric motor attached in
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
there you don't want to have to
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
powertrains like that the model s the
[TS]
00:09:37
◼
►
design of big battery pack 1 engine for
[TS]
00:09:41
◼
►
each wheel no gear is no nothing that is
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
very simple and direct it's just obvious
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
that that design is never gonna work for
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
supercar because you're super kinds of
[TS]
00:09:50
◼
►
being 5,000 pounds that's that's a
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
non-starter unless you're the bugatti
[TS]
00:09:54
◼
►
veyron over the hell that thing weighs
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
because I knew you know I have what is
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
that 16-cylinder engine in there
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
yeah that's yeah that's a whole other
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
issue and it's a lot turbo and it's 1100
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
power I mean at some point we can
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►
overcome wait this is good business
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
getting up to it so you've got this is
[TS]
00:10:12
◼
►
what is it to 700 ish think 750 ish so
[TS]
00:10:16
◼
►
963 horsepower is there they're claiming
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
it was looking at torque then that's
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
that that's their claim that total
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
horsepower with the you know with
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
everything combined and made under
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
horsepower engine + 250 260 34 you know
[TS]
00:10:31
◼
►
I in a car that presumably does not
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
weigh a tremendous amount more than the
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
last car and you know that the purpose
[TS]
00:10:39
◼
►
in their numbers they say the five
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
seconds faster on the track is that I
[TS]
00:10:43
◼
►
don't know how long the track is but you
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
know it it's faster as they say hundred
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
6263 horsepower from this hybrid for the
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
hybrid system that is hi yes I'm trying
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
to parallel park it with that big
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
he knows what you can get it over first
[TS]
00:10:59
◼
►
you can't get over the the you know the
[TS]
00:11:01
◼
►
skirt things yeah so the rest of the car
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
like the aerodynamic aids all the active
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
aerodynamics stuff i obviously if I
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
could be wrong about f1 again and say
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
that I think that's another area that f1
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
has more restrictions and streetcars 10
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
people can write and tell me what I'm
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
about that like basically an f1 the
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
inheritance
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
their goal is to make a competitive
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
sport their goal is not to see how fast
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
we can go i mean just talking about how
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
the engines like v8 or v6 is I whatever
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
restrictions they have on the racing
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
there's two isn't trying to be in the
[TS]
00:11:31
◼
►
name of fairness but there's no such
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
thing as Paris when you're making a
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
hypercar you just make it as fast as
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
your hand
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
I guess you have legal restrictions you
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
know for various countries is going to
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
be sold in but the a these active Aero
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
aids basically flaps on the bottom and
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
top of the car fall within the legal
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
range of things that you can drive on
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
the road in most civilized country so
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
hey no problem so that we can get this
[TS]
00:11:57
◼
►
one more thing that can break on your
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
that's what you don't care you're a
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
millionaire exactly yeah that I think is
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
another interesting innovation here
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
whereas i don't think the Enzo had any
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
sort of actor or at least not the degree
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
of active aerodynamics interesting is
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
active aerodynamics are not in service
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
of going after the Veyrons top speed
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
like no one is as want to touch that for
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
so many years now it's alright well they
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
made this crazy car that was ridiculous
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
amount of power and its sole job is to
[TS]
00:12:24
◼
►
be SuperDuper fast and you know it was
[TS]
00:12:27
◼
►
faster on tracks just a tremendous
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
amount of power even McLaren's not going
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
after mclaren f1 was the big in a top
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
speaking for a long time and their new
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
p1 also has declined to participate in
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
the go after the Veyron top speed
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
it's probably because to beat the Veyron
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
top speed you have to compromise in so
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
many other areas and all these people
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
would rather have a car that is more of
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
an all-round supercar that it does more
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
than just hit the top speed just for the
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
hell of it
[TS]
00:12:53
◼
►
so all these arrowheads and laferrari
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
are apparently not to help it you know
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
go 260 miles an hour top speed is all
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
about producing downforce and getting
[TS]
00:13:01
◼
►
around the track faster which i think is
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
the appropriate philosophy in mindset
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
and stance for ferrari to take rather
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
blindly chasing after the top speed
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
crown which is mostly meaningless
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
because that the number of roads in the
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
world where you can get over 260 miles
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
an hour are probably very small what
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
else we got in this thing
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
good got an LCD instrument cluster
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
surprise great i mean there are 17
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
there's no stopping and not know not
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
that priming the the thing and in front
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
of you know I know just hanging out with
[TS]
00:13:33
◼
►
me if you like a long time ago John you
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
went backward back in the early days of
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
your hypercritical podcast which episode
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
was the TV episode it was lost it was
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
really early right before the very first
[TS]
00:13:46
◼
►
episode of TV and I never visited many
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
times okay well you know it at the time
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
you were discussing like you know your
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►
process of buying a new TV and and
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
trying to evaluate the different types
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
of tvs that that were that had come out
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
this is about what two years ago and and
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
just looking at you know the plasma LCD
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
and all the little tricks that they did
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
with technology to try to make it better
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
because we had passed the point where
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
the simple thing worked for at least a
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
simpler thing worked and we had reached
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
the point TV technology where we are
[TS]
00:14:18
◼
►
still today we're in order to get more
[TS]
00:14:22
◼
►
contrast more brightness faster refresh
[TS]
00:14:24
◼
►
whatever the case in order to improve
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
the spectrum to compete the
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
manufacturers had to start doing all
[TS]
00:14:30
◼
►
these like weird little tricks and hacks
[TS]
00:14:32
◼
►
to to pass these limits that they had
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
found with the simpler options and I
[TS]
00:14:37
◼
►
feel like when that happens to an
[TS]
00:14:39
◼
►
industry that tends to make products
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
that are better in some ways worse and
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
others way more complex and often
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
there's weird side effects to the
[TS]
00:14:49
◼
►
decisions that they've made and it's
[TS]
00:14:51
◼
►
often kind of questionable at the end
[TS]
00:14:53
◼
►
whether overall we're better off or not
[TS]
00:14:54
◼
►
and and I feel like that's where cars
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
are especially at the very high end like
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
that's where cars are today where we've
[TS]
00:15:02
◼
►
we've already exhausted the value I
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
think of a naturally aspirated engine i
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
think we're going to see very very few
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
of those in new car models going forward
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
except for the very low-end even I mean
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
even like the honda accord and toyota
[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
camry i would bet are going to be
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
turbocharged fairly soon do you think
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
that's probably that's probably a safe
[TS]
00:15:26
◼
►
assumption right for eventually I said
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
that's a industry-wide trend is lowest
[TS]
00:15:30
◼
►
placement with turbos right well but
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
little I think you're right the only the
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
only complaint I would lodge with with
[TS]
00:15:36
◼
►
regard to that assertion is that if you
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
are used to driving a naturally
[TS]
00:15:41
◼
►
aspirated car and you drive nearly any
[TS]
00:15:43
◼
►
turbocharged car no matter how good of a
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
turbocharged motor it is you still feel
[TS]
00:15:50
◼
►
that lag it's the same kind of leg that
[TS]
00:15:52
◼
►
I would feel into naturally aspirated
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
cars one of which is a stick and one is
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
not where you get that kind of lag from
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
the torque converter in that
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
disconnection between the motor in the
[TS]
00:16:02
◼
►
in the drivetrain and you get that as
[TS]
00:16:04
◼
►
well and a turbocharged car and so while
[TS]
00:16:06
◼
►
i completely agree with you guys that on
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
the street in most normal applications
[TS]
00:16:11
◼
►
that's the where everything is going to
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
be a turbocharged but the having driven
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
some reasonably quick naturally
[TS]
00:16:17
◼
►
aspirated cars like my friend brian's 96
[TS]
00:16:19
◼
►
m three the throttle response from those
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
colors is just unbelievable and you'll
[TS]
00:16:24
◼
►
never get that with the turbocharger
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
even in the 335 and with the n54 than 55
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
which are universally praised as having
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
almost no lag it's there's still enough
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
flag that way it would bother you and so
[TS]
00:16:33
◼
►
I I don't know when specifically this
[TS]
00:16:35
◼
►
would be used except maybe track queens
[TS]
00:16:37
◼
►
but i just don't see turbochargers going
[TS]
00:16:39
◼
►
I don't see natural aspiration going
[TS]
00:16:41
◼
►
completely out the window and not to say
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
that that's what I think it always ever
[TS]
00:16:46
◼
►
go away entirely well now you know it
[TS]
00:16:48
◼
►
would work to the point now where other
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
factors that people want or that it that
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
factors are better demanded by
[TS]
00:16:54
◼
►
regulations like environmental
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
regulations things that people want are
[TS]
00:16:59
◼
►
becoming more important orders being
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
more demand for them then the benefits
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
of a simpler design to and people aren't
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
going people aren't going low
[TS]
00:17:07
◼
►
displacement turbo because they think
[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►
it's better
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
they're going there because they're
[TS]
00:17:10
◼
►
forced to write because it's really
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
efficient and and it's a way to get more
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
power about adding more animated way to
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
get to put smaller engines and smaller
[TS]
00:17:19
◼
►
engines way less smaller engines with
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
lower displacement to use use less gas
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
but people still want to have adequate
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
power alright so we'll give you a
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
smaller engine that weighs less that has
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
lower displacement but will try to
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
release match the previous power with
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
audiences are both right but see but now
[TS]
00:17:31
◼
►
like it
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
it's if we're going to start having all
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
these asterisks on everything like you
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
know that the laferrari it has these two
[TS]
00:17:39
◼

different powertrains one of which
[TS]
00:17:40
◼

produces the whatever 800-horsepower one
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
of experience 163 horsepower but 263
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
horsepower is like a maximum and I guess
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
I'm sure it's possible that if you're
[TS]
00:17:50
◼

driving it pretty hard that you're
[TS]
00:17:52

probably not gonna have full battery

charge after a while and you know you're
[TS]
00:17:57

gonna like there's gonna be times where
[TS]
00:17:58
◼

the battery will run out and he and then
[TS]
00:18:01
◼

the performance will suffer until you
[TS]
00:18:03
◼

get enough battery power back and you'll
[TS]
00:18:05
◼

be down to only 800 horsepower well but
[TS]
00:18:08
◼

still what the one about the total
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
living along practically but still like
[TS]
00:18:12
◼

there's going to be things like these
[TS]
00:18:13
◼

little exceptions to feel like as cars
[TS]
00:18:16
◼

move into these complicated technologies
[TS]
00:18:17
◼

there's always little exception so like
[TS]
00:18:18
◼

what turbos at first and until they got
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
very good at least the big the big
[TS]
00:18:22
◼
►
asterisk was lag and I think we've we've
[TS]
00:18:26
◼

minimize lag so far and I'm sure there's
[TS]
00:18:29
◼

still a way to go and and and you're
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
right that it's not eliminated but we
[TS]
00:18:34
◼

certainly gotten very good at it but
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
like as things get more complicated it
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
becomes harder to say oh well it's it
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
has X horsepower and even like like we
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
discussed dct is a while back and people
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
wrote in and informed us that you know
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
with the dct it pre-selects the next get
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
you're likely to pick but if you pick
[TS]
00:18:55
◼

the other one the other direction that
[TS]
00:18:58
◼

it didn't pre-select your shift times
[TS]
00:19:00
◼

take longer
[TS]
00:19:01
◼

so your shift times taking take an
[TS]
00:19:04
◼

unknown amount of time depending on what
[TS]
00:19:05
◼

you're doing so it's inconsistent that's
[TS]
00:19:08
◼

one of those things really we apply
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
technology to make it better most of the
[TS]
00:19:11
◼

time but then there's a little asterisk
[TS]
00:19:12
◼

that oh well it's going to take longer
[TS]
00:19:14
◼
►
if you do this one condition or you know
[TS]
00:19:16
◼

like there's always that there's all
[TS]
00:19:18
◼

these little exceptions as we make
[TS]
00:19:20
◼

things more complex that overall we are
[TS]
00:19:23
◼

getting better off but everything just
[TS]
00:19:25
◼

getting more complicated and there and
[TS]
00:19:28
◼

we just keep seeing like little tiny
[TS]
00:19:29
◼

downsides to that and it's going that's
[TS]
00:19:32
◼

going to expand as his technology mature
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
now get going back a second about the
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
turbo lag thing i found out now that
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
I've regularly driven a turbo car and on
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
turbo car i have found
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
and that it's all about what you're used
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
to like yes when I when I got the 1m I'd
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
never had a turbo car before so i got
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
the 1am and I mean talk about turbo
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
boost I mean that thing is insanely over
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
boosted like when when you step on it it
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
just kicks you in the butt forward I
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
mean it is really really strong boost so
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
I had it for a few months and then I
[TS]
00:20:09
◼
►
went to that racing day where i got to
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
drive the current m3 and m5 and the m3
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
is a naturally aspirated v8 as you said
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
what I found with the m3 was that
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
because I was accustomed to that strong
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
turbo engine in the one app the m3 felt
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
like it was lacking high-end perfect I
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
and performance in the RPM range even
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
though that's what everyone's been
[TS]
00:20:31
◼
►
expecting out of cars forever but I
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
didn't have that I had the turbo so when
[TS]
00:20:34
◼
►
I went to that it was like you know up
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
from the beginning from of the of the
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
power range of the RPM range i was like
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
okay this is really fast and as I got
[TS]
00:20:41
◼
►
towards the top I was like wait where's
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
my boost you know what I expect this to
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
be kicking me in the butt right now it's
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
not you know so I i think it's it's just
[TS]
00:20:50
◼
►
about whatever you used to and that
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
feels normal to you and then when you
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
get into the other thing it feels
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
underpowered either in the early part of
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
the Ranger on the left and later part of
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
the range finding what you're used to
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
I would agree with that i think that's
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
that's a very fair way of looking at it
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
and i don't know i mean i don't mind
[TS]
00:21:05
◼
►
turbocharged cars and everything you do
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
you guys just said is right now that the
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
subaru had a single turbo that I don't
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
know a measurement on top my head but it
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
did very qualitatively it felt lag year
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
than 335 does I those the only
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
turbocharged cars driven irregularity
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
and 335 doesn't feel much like a
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
turbocharged card feels much more like a
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
very small v8 which is exactly what BMW
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
is aiming for and to that end I I really
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
enjoy it now you put me in in John's
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
accord with a proper transmission and no
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
turbochargers and I'll probably say well
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
it isn't as quick as a 335 that man is
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
that throttle response good so I don't
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
John have you driven many church party
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
said your your appearance vulva was is
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
that right yeah i mean and that was it
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
was an old-style turbo where there's no
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
engine and then all of a sudden as an
[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
engine like that you know there was it
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
like that was like a group just
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
continuous power
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
banned entirely that's that's that's the
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
exciting part about turbos is that it's
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
not so much if you had smoothly gone up
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
to the level of power wouldn't be as
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
dramatic as you going and before like it
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
that there was tremendous turbo lag but
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
when it kicked in yet i don't think it
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
was a very strong turbo but like that
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
the engine wasn't that powerful but the
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
turbo really you know you noticed it and
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
that was exciting you know I mean keep
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
going from cars that had no power at all
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
to one that you know had this big jump
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
to power was good at the the same token
[TS]
00:22:31
◼
►
I've always this is the kind of a
[TS]
00:22:33
◼
►
engineering nerd type thing I've always
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
respected car companies that produce
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
naturally aspirated engines and then
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
brag about the horsepower per liter
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
right like that was the whole point that
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
race like acura had the crown with the
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
integra for a while I think and I think
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
Ferrari had it with the 355 at one point
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
had the highest you know output per for
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
leader and that is kind of like a
[TS]
00:22:58
◼
►
gentleman's like a gentleman's race for
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
you know we're not going to use
[TS]
00:23:02
◼
►
turbocharger yes we could we could just
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
pump air into the engine and get more
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
power that's unseemly we're going to see
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
how much again you know and that thing
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
about Marcos analogy with like lcds and
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
how their pack to death try to make them
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
be decent
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
I think the appropriate analog for lcds
[TS]
00:23:19
◼
►
and how you know we've changed them a
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
lot and and in the car world is the
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
internal combustion engine because
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
internal combustion engines like look
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
you could squirt flammable stuff in here
[TS]
00:23:29
◼
►
and light it and it pushes these things
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
that's great and then immediately
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
everyone sees okay well that's good and
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
all but there are some problems with his
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
engine for one thing when you run too
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
fast it explodes
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
that's bad time to get hot and melt
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
together we gotta think of something to
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
do about that too and you know it we
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
have all these belts and pulleys know
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
that they are in great and they kind of
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
wear out and when they break bad things
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
happen so if we could maybe get some of
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
you know it's like we've been hacking
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
the internal and just an engine for all
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
of its terrible flaws though you know it
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
shakes the whole car apart well maybe
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
but a different amount of cylinders in
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
it that will be better balance but if we
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
have the lower number we could bounce
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
shafts in and like you know timing
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
chains and overhead cams and direct
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
injection you know where instead of
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
spraying the gas to a tube into this
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
thing maybe just squirt right into the
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
engine you know all we've just been
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
hacking this friggin thing to death
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
forever it is that the internal
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
combustion engine is the lcds of today
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
where they have all this time tables on
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
had a transition of pixel from one color
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
to another color by passing through
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
solid color because that's actually the
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
fastest path is pre-programmed in all
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
those things all that crazy stuff and
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
dynamic back lights on TVs and
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
everything that's what we're doing the
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
internal combustion engine
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
contrast this with the new technology
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
which is you know like in the Tesla
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
which is still in the stage were like
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
hey we can hook up batteries to an
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
electric motor and it goes and we
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
haven't yet begun to really hack that
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
maybe we won't maybe just inherently
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
simple technology but for one thing
[TS]
00:24:46
◼
►
transmission goes out the window we just
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
hook up the freakin engine to the wheel
[TS]
00:24:51
◼
►
you know we're good to go there all
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
these things about torque you know not
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
having a low-end torque or anything
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
hundred percent of your target that
[TS]
00:24:57
◼
►
available in electric languages
[TS]
00:24:58
◼

available with 0 RPM which is very
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
different from the other things we have
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
to do with with regular you know
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
internal combustion engines so just come
[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
but this combination seems like the
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
hacker but I think internal combustion
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
engines are really the ultimate hack job
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
and we continue to push them and push
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
them that's what the load displacement
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
herbal about it's like if you would if
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
you took one of these load displacement
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
turbos from some crappy economy car and
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
brought it back in time to like the
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
fifties and said we have an engine for
[TS]
00:25:24
◼
►
you and it's ways you know 200 pants and
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
it displaces this much and this and this
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
is the mileage and is the power they'd
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
be like this from a supercar like no to
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
toyota echo you know like it's
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
unbelievable we managed to ring out of
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
the internal combustion engine which is
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
why it's got such legs battery density
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
like power density of batteries like how
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
much energy can you put in how much mass
[TS]
00:25:45
◼
►
but we are much lower in advancing and
[TS]
00:25:48
◼

that's why all the hydrogen cars and all
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
that other stuff in our weekend which
[TS]
00:25:51
◼

all your cars and on we can run our cars
[TS]
00:25:54
◼

on tiny little off mr. fusion type
[TS]
00:25:56

things or maybe use depleted uranium or
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
not completing the case may be you know
[TS]
00:26:00
◼

like other things have better energy
[TS]
00:26:02
◼

mass than gasoline but currently battery
[TS]
00:26:04
◼

technology is not one of them when
[TS]
00:26:07
◼

gasoline also has a heck of a lot of
[TS]
00:26:09
◼

advantages in just practicality like for
[TS]
00:26:14

instance if you if you crash into a car
[TS]
00:26:16

so hard that the gas tank ruptures it
[TS]
00:26:19

won't explode immediately

you can't quite guarantee that for

hydrogen
[TS]

truck transport on hydrogen is kind of
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
dangerous compared to gasoline smell
[TS]
00:26:35
◼

like there's a debatable whether the
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
hydrogen is more dangerous think more
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
the only thing is really really you
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
could say hydrogen has disadvantages vs
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
guess is that it has to be under
[TS]
00:26:44
◼
►
pressure right and that adds a
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
tremendous implications
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
yeah yeah yeah I don't know about the
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
explosiveness or any of those other
[TS]
00:26:52
◼

factors if that's if that's just because
[TS]
00:26:54
◼

of the pressures involved or not but
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
like have you guys heard of the Fisker
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
yes in fact mr. just quit didn't he mr.
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
fisker I think just left the company
[TS]
00:27:04
◼
►
left the board or something there that
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
mean that company was probably never
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
going anywhere but the design is like
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
the Chevy Volt where it's got a gasoline
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
engine but the end is not connected to
[TS]
00:27:12
◼
►
the wheels it's just there as a
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
generator to charge the batteries and
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►
the batteries drive electric motors to
[TS]
00:27:18
◼
►
make the car go right and i think that's
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
a pretty elegant solution to the hybrid
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
range problem
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
I mean to the electric car range problem
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
and we obviously that's a transitional
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
technology until we can really you know
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
gets the point where battery density is
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
awesome and we can start doing you no
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
longer range cars and maybe faster
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
recharges on the highway but until we
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
get there which is probably at least a
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
decade off i think these uh I think
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
things like the volt and the fisker are
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
really a very smart compromise
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
oh yeah I'd like to see it we should
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
have done that before the show if we
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
actually prepared but like a graph of
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
energy density and batteries because i
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
think it is not improving all that fast
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
like you said 10 years but they always
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
just say ten years like it's right up
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
wearing like show me the graph right
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
what is how how are our wii advantage is
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
obviously this to lots of effort put on
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
crew increasing energy density batteries
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
because it helps laptops cell phones
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
tablets like this many applications of
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
this car is just one of the many
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
applications so it seems it's not for
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
lack of trying like if someone could do
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
a tenfold increase in energy density and
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
batteries and you know and maintain like
[TS]
00:28:19
◼
►
a reasonable recharge time like fuel
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
cells for the other thing is going to
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
save us but still not here right
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
I think progress is slow on those fronts
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
whereas I i bet i would like to see that
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
graft against like mileage and power
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
output for cars because during all this
[TS]
00:28:35
◼

time we've been complaining about all
[TS]
00:28:37
◼

these fuel efficiency stuff
[TS]
00:28:38
◼

the average power available in any car
[TS]
00:28:42

pick any car range you know consumer
[TS]
00:28:43
◼

sports or whatever just going up up
[TS]
00:28:45
◼

because that's what we like we like more
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
power right so we've been making really
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
good progress hacking the internal
[TS]
00:28:51
◼

combustion engine to not just like
[TS]
00:28:54
◼
►
maintain the status quo with better
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
mileage but give us better mileage and
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
more power and more torque and better
[TS]
00:28:59
◼
►
torque curves and less noise and
[TS]
00:29:01
◼

vibration and harshness and you know
[TS]
00:29:02
◼

just improving on all fronts probably
[TS]
00:29:05
◼

faster than $PERCENT battery
[TS]
00:29:06
◼

technologies have been proving so I'm
[TS]
00:29:09
◼

unless there's going to be some sort of
[TS]
00:29:10
◼

breakthrough in battery technology in my
[TS]
00:29:12
◼

lifetime I'm having a hard time seeing
[TS]
00:29:15
◼

the internal combustion engine ever get
[TS]
00:29:17
◼

complete dethrone the balance of power
[TS]
00:29:18
◼

and underneath the cars may change in
[TS]
00:29:20
◼

terms of how much battery how much
[TS]
00:29:22
◼

electric how much gas but any technology
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
is going to be the internal combustion
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
has a tough road ahead of it because
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
internal brush and keeps getting better
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
and we worked on it for a long time and
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
battery technology and you know carbon
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
and fuel cells have not been getting
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
better fast enough to like quickly swamp
[TS]
00:29:41
◼

and overtake like when the priest came
[TS]
00:29:42
◼

out of our people like Oh in five years
[TS]
00:29:44
◼
►
all these internal combustion engine
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
will be gone
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
well no not you mean not less battery
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
technology gets much better faster and
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
if it does you'll notice because
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
suddenly you're your cell phone will
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
last all week without charging when that
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
happens watch out internal combustion
[TS]
00:29:56
◼

engine but you know right now on the
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
other limiting factors that may be
[TS]
00:30:00
◼
►
yourself what does go a week without
[TS]
00:30:01
◼

charging but it's only because the
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
internal components now sip juice like
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
crazy but at your car has to carry
[TS]
00:30:08
◼

around you at the very least and you're
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
not getting any center especially for
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
American yeah and also known as we were
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
saying the minute ago like really
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
gasoline is extremely convenient for so
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
many reasons like it especially you know
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
you look at what test was doing with the
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
supercharged and everything and that's
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
that's a big step but it being it like
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
having to stop for 45 minutes or a half
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
hour whatever it is I don't want I don't
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
want Tesla Sumerian and threatened to
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
lose a hundred million dollars of value
[TS]
00:30:37
◼

but you know whatever it is half hour 45
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
minutes for a full charge
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
that's very very different to stop on a
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
road trip every 200 miles for that then
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
to stop every 500 miles 45 minutes
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
anywhere but no matter where you are you
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
can find a gas station within a few
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
miles of where you are in all likelihood
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
be able to stop their refill your car
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
and have another 500 miles arranged i
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
mean that's that's awesome and only
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
gasoline today can do that and you're
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
right it doesn't seem like the
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
alternatives are advancing quickly
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
enough to be able to replace that
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
anytime soon
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
I would agree with that it there's an
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
argument that several people been making
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
my father said this to me on numerous
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
occasions that we're never going to
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
really be able to break off the the oil
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
teat if you will until either we really
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
do run out of oil or it just gets taxed
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
well candidly to you know European
[TS]
00:31:34
◼
►
levels in America and then suddenly will
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
say oh we must find a way and then
[TS]
00:31:38
◼
►
suddenly someone will have an epiphany
[TS]
00:31:40
◼
►
and decide oh we can do this other thing
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
much cheaper better we want dinosaurs
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
because we'll just do what you have to
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
like every every time the gas prices are
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
getting near another dollar interval
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
everyone predict o-once it crosses X
[TS]
00:31:55
◼
►
dollars a gallon and then world never
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
gonna c major you know major shifts and
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
demand and electric things taking over
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
and practice that crosses that level
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
everyone freaks out for a week and then
[TS]
00:32:06
◼
►
that's just the normal level of casque
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
costs and and so it doesn't and yeah you
[TS]
00:32:10
◼
►
know food prices rise trucker prices are
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
you know like all this stuff happened to
[TS]
00:32:14
◼
►
the economy but in people's minds
[TS]
00:32:16
◼
►
gasps crossing a certain level doesn't
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
really change anything now
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
certainly you know to go to European
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
type pricing for gas it would I think it
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
was mostly double our prices that
[TS]
00:32:26
◼
►
roughly $PERCENT accurate be paying more
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
than eight dollars gown and and that's
[TS]
00:32:31
◼
►
with the convert two leaders some
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
habitat that's a you know that would
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
certainly like a doubling is obviously a
[TS]
00:32:38
◼
►
a bigger change than just going to five
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
dollars or something and and that might
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
change people's minds a little bit more
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
severely but I think we can see that
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
already we can look at Europe we can see
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
places that do have way more expensive
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
gas than we do and they have an off
[TS]
00:32:55
◼
►
switch to electric they just buy
[TS]
00:32:57
◼
►
smaller displacement engines they they
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
care more about efficiency they buy
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
smaller cars you know like that's that's
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
what we're going to see and we do see
[TS]
00:33:05
◼
►
that now already you know when as gas
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
pricing goes up we are seeing that
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
demand shift just very very slowly but
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
there's never some big trigger event
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
that certainly makes everyone willing to
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
tolerate such at things like the
[TS]
00:33:19
◼
►
downsides of electric cars
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
oh there's two things work is energy
[TS]
00:33:23
◼
►
density which you just mentioned and I
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
finally did look up a graphing and
[TS]
00:33:26
◼
►
according to this graph we have doubled
[TS]
00:33:28
◼
►
energy density and 10 years from
[TS]
00:33:30
◼
►
basically from the introduction of the
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
ev1 to the Tesla so there's progress but
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
it's something every year it's doubling
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
every 10 years so that's 10 times slower
[TS]
00:33:36
◼
►
than we would expect from you know
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
transistor density or whatever and the
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
other factors cost
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
alright so fine say we could double
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
energy density in one year instead of 10
[TS]
00:33:45
◼
►
it still costs 50 grand for you like
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
real cost without government you know
[TS]
00:33:50
◼
►
subsidies and rebates and other stuff to
[TS]
00:33:52
◼
►
get you just any car with it with a
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
reasonable range with a battery in it
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
it's not so good I mean I that you know
[TS]
00:33:59
◼
►
we have all these government subsidies
[TS]
00:34:00
◼
►
that make the model s as cheap as it is
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
a hundred grand like the Chevy Volt is
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
like 40 grand which is still expensive
[TS]
00:34:05
◼
►
but the Sheffield is not really 40 grand
[TS]
00:34:08
◼
►
it's way more expensive than that now if
[TS]
00:34:10
◼
►
you just if you're paying the full cost
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
and so these increases energy and you
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
have to come along with an economical
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
increases energy density because the
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
batteries are so big and you know that
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
the the things physics are so movable
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
you have to move the people over the
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
roads through the air you can't like
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
that energy barrier is not going to get
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
any lower and yet I mean it was more
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
thinking that I mean here's a question
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
you know right now like you know as you
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
can probably tell by my ranting about
[TS]
00:34:37
◼
►
range and and refill times I wouldn't
[TS]
00:34:40
◼
►
buy something like the Tesla today
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
because I frequently take long road
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
trips that are you know like 200 miles
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
long or 250 miles long
[TS]
00:34:48
◼
►
where it sounds like I would probably
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
not make it on a full charge of a Tesla
[TS]
00:34:54
◼
►
or it would be it would be uncomfortably
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
close so i probably should probably
[TS]
00:34:57
◼
►
wouldn't want to attempt that anyway so
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
like a at the addition question first
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
answer how much range do you think
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
electric car would need for you to make
[TS]
00:35:08
◼
►
it your only car
[TS]
00:35:10
◼

like I think for me that number is
[TS]

probably 500 miles and i'm basing that

on like I would want to be if I was

taking a multi-day road trip which
[TS]
00:35:21
◼

granted i don't really do the most of

the time but it but if I was taking a

00:35:25
◼

multi-day road trip i would want to be
[TS]
00:35:26

roughly the number of miles i would want
[TS]
00:35:29

to drive per day before just gettin
[TS]
00:35:31
◼

tired and wanted to save the rest of the

00:35:32

next day so I think 500 is a decent
[TS]
00:35:35
◼

number for that but actually that's my
[TS]
00:35:37
◼

real world miles though not 500 like if

00:35:40

you absolutely stretch everything to the

max and drive perfectly on a perfectly
[TS]
00:35:44
◼

flat road with no wind
[TS]
00:35:45

I'm talking real usage mileage so it
[TS]
00:35:48
◼

would probably need an advertised
[TS]
00:35:49
◼

capacity of more like 700 miles but
[TS]
00:35:51
◼

you're basing that on on the idea that
[TS]
00:35:53
◼

it takes you a long time to refuel and
[TS]
00:35:57
◼

that you can't refuel anywhere that was
[TS]
00:35:59
◼

true that those are two things because
[TS]
00:36:01

you're not insisting a 500 mile range
[TS]
00:36:02

and gas garbage like I just stopped at a

00:36:35
◼

vaults of the Karma we're all right so
[TS]
00:36:37
◼

the range is 200 miles or 250 miles even
[TS]
00:36:39
◼

or something that reason one else but
[TS]
00:36:41
◼

you just felt the gas tank when it runs
[TS]
00:36:43
◼

out right in the gas station it's still
[TS]
00:36:45
◼

electric are you still get you know 50
[TS]
00:36:47
◼

miles per gallon or whatever 60 then
[TS]
00:36:50
◼

suddenly you don't your criteria 500 my
[TS]
00:36:52

range is not a big deal you're just
[TS]
00:36:54
◼

talking about pure-play entirely
[TS]
00:36:56
◼

electric cars because you know that
[TS]
00:36:58
◼

given current technology it takes
[TS]
00:36:59
◼

forever to charge them you can't just
[TS]
00:37:01
◼

stop for 10 minutes and you know fill
[TS]
00:37:03
◼

the tank again you're going to be there
[TS]
00:37:05
◼

for an hour two hours something really
[TS]
00:37:06
◼

good like that it's really extending
[TS]
00:37:07
◼

your trip and I'm frequently like I'm
[TS]
00:37:09
◼

frequently in rural areas where you know
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
there you might have to drive five miles
[TS]
00:37:15
◼
►
before you see the first gas station i
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
think it's going to be fairly long
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
before those places have
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►
high speed electric charge stations and
[TS]
00:37:24
◼

high-speed it's like a half an hour in
[TS]
00:37:25
◼

our writings have more it still sucks if
[TS]
00:37:28
◼

you do if you weren't planning like you
[TS]
00:37:30
◼

know Tesla's Tesla's PR kind of says
[TS]
00:37:33
◼

well you know if you if you're stopping
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
for a meal i must recharge your car
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
rental it'll just take longer to go in
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
and have a meal well i don't know about
[TS]
00:37:41
◼
►
you but when I stopped for a road trip
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
first of all I like not having to stop
[TS]
00:37:45
◼
►
for a half-hour like if I don't really
[TS]
00:37:47
◼
►
want to me i don't really need a meal
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
thank you i just like to fill up please
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
with gas that takes five minutes and but
[TS]
00:37:52
◼
►
even even from stopping for a meal
[TS]
00:37:55
◼
►
what they're really what they're really
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
telling us to get a full charge need to
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
stop for like 45 minutes or you know
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
that's that's a bit long for a road trip
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
meal for me like when we stopped you
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
know even a rest stop and maybe if we go
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
to the bathroom and get gas and get food
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
maybe it might be 25-30 minutes
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
you know like it here and and we're not
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
likely to do that do in the middle of
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
most road trips you know like most road
[TS]
00:38:21
◼
►
trips are going to be like for us it's
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
gonna be like that 200 to 300 mile range
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
where we can make it the whole way
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
without gas or food probably you know so
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
and if we do stop for either we're gonna
[TS]
00:38:31
◼
►
make it quick
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
similarly like I mean obviously I'm new
[TS]
00:38:35
◼
►
to this whole having a kid thing but for
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
us you know I I assume this is similar
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
with other parents you know the baby has
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
his own schedule and if we stop for a
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
half hour at an unplanned time that's
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
going to really backfire in a bad way in
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
all likelihood and whereas like you know
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
if I'm just stopping for five minutes
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
and the baby is trying to sleep and he
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
only wants to sleep on the cars going
[TS]
00:39:04
◼
►
fast okay i can stop 45 minutes he might
[TS]
00:39:07
◼
►
sleep through it if he wakes up he'll
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
scream 43 minutes and then we go
[TS]
00:39:10
◼
►
you know that's that's very different
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
from ok here's an unplanned
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
half-hour-long stop and and some of this
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
is you could argue some of this would
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
just be changing your habits and and
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
planning for these things and
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
accommodating for these things but
[TS]
00:39:25
◼
►
that's not a very strong selling point
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
in a market that's already established
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
like gas is really convenient we have
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
gas everywhere available to us for
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
reasonable prices for the most part with
[TS]
00:39:37
◼
►
very fast Philip times and so gas is
[TS]
00:39:39
◼
►
very convenient and and two for somebody
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
to spend more temporarily spend more on
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
electric car and to have all these
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
downsides that go with it
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
I think it's a pretty weak proposition
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
but i think they were the range thing is
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
mostly not it i mean not that it's not
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
important because it is for this for all
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
the reasons you listed but it's it's
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
mostly it's not what's preventing
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
electric cars from up being more popular
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
it cost us the problem because so many
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
people do not take long trips or have
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
two cars and you can have one for the
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
long trip someone not for the long trip
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
you just need to make the cars and much
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
less expensive because then people will
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
consider them those hey i'm saving all
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
this money on gas
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
why wouldn't advise got what you
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
wouldn't buy this is 30 grand that's why
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
you wouldn't buy you have fifteen
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
thousand dollars you can get a honda fit
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
that has almost as good mileage not
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
quite you know me but if you if if they
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
become price-competitive then you know
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
people by a little cars to just commute
[TS]
00:40:31
◼

back and forth to work my work is like

00:40:38
◼

electric car to commute to and from work
[TS]
00:40:40
◼

in a second if it didn't cost so much
[TS]
00:40:44
◼

money you know what I mean oh I mean
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
you're right that cost is definitely
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
number one factor but you gotta figure
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
also a lot of people that you know you
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
see this with a lot with people who buy
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
SUVs or pickup trucks a lot of people
[TS]
00:40:58
◼

will buy a car thinking that they will
[TS]
00:41:01
◼

use it in some fashion that requires a
[TS]
00:41:04
◼

certain type of car whether it's a truck
[TS]
00:41:06
◼

or a big SUV or something like that
[TS]
00:41:07
◼

they'll say oh well I'll occasionally go

up in the mountains or I'll occasionally
[TS]
00:41:11
◼

to haul something and it might they
[TS]
00:41:13

might only need to do that once a year
[TS]
00:41:14
◼

or like twice during the entire time
[TS]
00:41:16
◼

they have the car but they still buy the
[TS]
00:41:20
◼

car you know kind of aspirationally
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
thinking oh I I'm gonna need it for
[TS]
00:41:25
◼

those times you and they will consider
[TS]
00:41:26
◼

things like oh I'll just rent a truck
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
for a day when I need one something
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
value those options usually aren't
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
considered just like a lot of people
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
will will buy a car that is way more
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
than their quote needs because of some
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
something they have in their head that
[TS]
00:41:42
◼

they think they'll do or they want to do
[TS]
00:41:43
◼

even though they might never get around
[TS]
00:41:45
◼

to it that's going to be the big bro
[TS]
00:41:47

album after cost becomes less of an
[TS]
00:41:49

issue with electric cars that have
[TS]

limited ranges are range issues that

people like well what if i want to drive
[TS]
00:41:55
◼

to ohio you know if that's that then

for hours in the middle like that even
[TS]

even if you only drive to ohio once a

year or even if you haven't ever done
[TS]

and you might want to someday do it but
[TS]
00:42:09

I wouldn't recommend them to ohio just
[TS]

as an example but if you do you might as
[TS]
00:42:14
◼

pretty good but yet through it all it's

a boring state to drive through that's
[TS]
00:42:20
◼

mr. communities room at the very least
[TS]
00:42:22
◼

if they can get the cost down you can
[TS]
00:42:24
◼

immediately you then you have a real
[TS]
00:42:26
◼

market because you can immediately sell
[TS]
00:42:27
◼

to all the people who already buy cars
[TS]
00:42:29

that they just know we're gonna be a

[TS]
00:42:40
◼

on the long trip stuff like that there
[TS]
00:42:42
◼

is a market for small commuter cars it
[TS]
00:42:44
◼

really never do on your own people will
[TS]
00:42:46
◼

buy them at especially if they're cheap
[TS]
00:42:48
◼

and not just keep it cheap reliable like
[TS]
00:42:50
◼

all there are many advantages to
[TS]
00:42:52
◼

electric cars just as fewer fewer things
[TS]
00:42:54
◼

that can go wrong in it you know so
[TS]
00:42:55
◼

presumably by that point you know no
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
more transmission or muffler like you
[TS]
00:43:00
◼
►
could seal the freaking thing up and try
[TS]
00:43:01
◼

to make it more weatherproof because
[TS]
00:43:02
◼

everything can be you know all sealed up
[TS]
00:43:04
◼

and the technology is nailed down to it
[TS]
00:43:06
◼

it really will be a much more reliable
[TS]
00:43:08

much more pleasant thing to use in this
[TS]
00:43:12
◼

hypothetical future where it doesn't
[TS]
00:43:13

cost 30 grand take to get yourself one
[TS]
00:43:15
◼

that that's any good then you've got you
[TS]
00:43:17
◼

are immediately got less a quarter maybe
[TS]
00:43:19
◼

even half of the market you still don't
[TS]
00:43:21
◼

have those people think they're going a
[TS]
00:43:22
◼

long trip and stuff like that but that's

where hybrids can come in we like all

right fine

filled with gas station you're good to

those stupid batteries like all these

amount of like a wolf
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
government-subsidized these cars it
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
would just you know all they would have
[TS]
00:43:47
◼
►
to subsidize them in perpetuity until we
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
can get another another 20 years we get
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
two more doubling of energy density
[TS]
00:43:53
◼
►
assuming current trends continue because
[TS]
00:43:54
◼
►
this graph looks like a line it is not
[TS]
00:43:56
◼
►
like a curve so it's not like this is
[TS]
00:43:57
◼
►
accelerating or decelerating is just
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
slow steady progress
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
sorry and internal combustion engines
[TS]
00:44:03
◼
►
keep getting better as well so here's a
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
question I mean think about it think
[TS]
00:44:07
◼
►
about this first of all I to question is
[TS]
00:44:10
◼
►
do you do you foresee a future and no
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
and i'm sure this is probably a ways out
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
but do you foresee a future where
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
electric cars are cheaper than gas cars
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
because they are inherently simpler you
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
know like how long do you think it'll be
[TS]
00:44:24
◼
►
before that happens they're cheaper now
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
if you don't get any batteries in them
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
that's because that's you know that's
[TS]
00:44:32
◼
►
that's what goes on the like those two
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
electric motors that drive the wheels
[TS]
00:44:36
◼
►
compared to the number of parts in the
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
precision and write for for an internal
[TS]
00:44:39
◼
►
combustion engine
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
yeah i mean electric car should be
[TS]
00:44:43
◼
►
cheaper as assuming they can figure out
[TS]
00:44:46
◼
►
the battery thing is everything else
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
about them
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
there's so much stuff you don't need
[TS]
00:44:49
◼
►
this also many parts go away so many
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
things don't need to be manufactured
[TS]
00:44:53
◼
►
just so much stuff just disappears and
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
it it really like looking at Tesla and
[TS]
00:44:58
◼
►
tests are just shows you like wow
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
regular cars filled with a lot of crap
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
that you know that you don't strictly
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
need all the government looks at you
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
wouldn't you do add a lot i mean i i'm
[TS]
00:45:09
◼
►
sure it doesn't come close to closing
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
the gap but you do add a lot of weird
[TS]
00:45:12
◼
►
complex parts for for energy saving
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
purposes like regenerative breaking
[TS]
00:45:16
◼
►
things and like various tricks for all
[TS]
00:45:19
◼
►
the electrical components in the car to
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
save power like you lost like something
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
because like solid state state stuff is
[TS]
00:45:25
◼
►
the type of thing that gets you know
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
it's cheap it's not like it's not like a
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
traditional seen pieces of metal flying
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
past each other a little while it with
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
get out with exhaust gases and heat and
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
noise and yeah it's it's way less it
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
like no I don't know though because I
[TS]
00:45:41
◼
►
think you're over simple you're
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
oversimplifying a bit in the sense that
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
yes the engine unequivocally gets a lot
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
simpler but you still have a drivetrain
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
you still have suspension you still have
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
wheel bearings instead of steering but
[TS]
00:45:51
◼
►
you don't have a drivetrain to speak up
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
when the electric motors are hooked up
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
to the wheels i guess i can even have a
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
license
[TS]
00:45:58
◼
►
alright you mean you still have
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
suspension components and stuff like
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
that thing where but like and you also
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
still have the other thing you know you
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
might not think about when you look at
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
the tassels they still also have to have
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
like on the test blood they have a you
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
know that the pump further for the power
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
steering
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
I think it's not electrical power
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
steering which is strange i think it's
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
actually a hydraulic pump that the pump
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
the gas you know that hydraulic brakes
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
they have the the little things going to
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
run the compressor for the air
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
conditioner right all these are
[TS]
00:46:25
◼
►
electric-powered things right but that
[TS]
00:46:27
◼
►
it's not just the things that drive the
[TS]
00:46:29
◼
►
wheels you need something for like
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
doesn't translate in the accessories
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
it's all ends up being electric but the
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
sheer amount of stuff that isn't there
[TS]
00:46:37
◼
►
is just so tremendous that these other
[TS]
00:46:39
◼
►
things it's kind of weird that they look
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
at this little you know they would like
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
the size of softballs like those you
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
know there's a little air-conditioning
[TS]
00:46:45
◼
►
compressor and there's a little pomp and
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
there's a little thing for the fan that
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
stuff will continue to coalesce into
[TS]
00:46:52
◼
►
like I presume some little single blob
[TS]
00:46:56
◼
►
in this future where all cars are
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
electric or on most cars or electric
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
where the really have it nailed down is
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
like it's like you know the LCD is the
[TS]
00:47:03
◼
►
internal combustion engine we have it
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
said so many years to hack on the
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
internal combustion engine this electric
[TS]
00:47:07
◼
►
motor is like the simple version before
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
we start the hack on it to death before
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
we've even electric motor sit around and
[TS]
00:47:13
◼
►
talk about electric car drive trains
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
will figure out all the tricks that you
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
have to do to make an electric cars
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
drivetrain plus human creature comforts
[TS]
00:47:20
◼
►
being an efficient package and will
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
iterate on that and I think that
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
iteration will look a little more like
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
iteration the technology industry then
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
sort of the mechanical reciprocating
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
metal lubricated parts iteration which
[TS]
00:47:34
◼
►
looks more like mechanical iteration
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
like it either
[TS]
00:47:38
◼
►
this certain barriers to materials and
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
cost of manufacturing and physical
[TS]
00:47:42
◼
►
tolerances that are pretty movable and
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
its really tough to make good progress
[TS]
00:47:46
◼
►
and those whereas if once we can make
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
something electric we can just keep
[TS]
00:47:49
◼
►
drinking that introducing the power and
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
you know doing a lot of stuff that's
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
very interesting . and if you think
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
about it i'll probably beat up for this
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
but to some degree the automobiles it
[TS]
00:48:00
◼
►
stands today is an extension of the
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
Industrial Revolution and that it's just
[TS]
00:48:03
◼
►
a very very revel it's a machine that's
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
been refined like you've been saying for
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
over and over and over again 400 years
[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
but again to your point it i'm curious
[TS]
00:48:12
◼
►
to see what the future brings in terms
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
of electric cars because now we're
[TS]
00:48:14
◼
►
moving just like you said more towards
[TS]
00:48:16
◼
►
the information age towards transistors
[TS]
00:48:18
◼
►
towards solid-state and and I I feel
[TS]
00:48:21
◼
►
like it's time but just like you guys
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
have said either we need much better
[TS]
00:48:24
◼
►
batteries or we need much quicker
[TS]
00:48:26
◼
►
charging which
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
you could argue is saying the same thing
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
twice and I just I don't see how we're
[TS]
00:48:30
◼
►
gonna get there anytime soon but you
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
know i didn't think i'd be holding a
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
computer in my pocket 24 hours or more
[TS]
00:48:36
◼
►
than 24 hours a day but 10 hours a day
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
but you don't want it there on time
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
what no not when I'm sleeping more
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
careful you don't sleep in jeans on a
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
pocket with a song now
[TS]
00:48:45
◼
►
no sorry nor do I have a mock turtleneck
[TS]
00:48:48
◼

or anything like that

[TS]
00:50:20
◼

alright so time for automatic yes but
[TS]
00:50:24
◼
►
are we done with a Ferrari anyone like
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
you talking about you're still talking
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
laferrari yeah along the engine the only
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
thing i think i'd like to add is that it
[TS]
00:50:32
◼
►
its it's one of those things where in
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
retrospect it seems inevitable but it's
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
surprising to me that we're just now
[TS]
00:50:38
◼
►
looking at the the drivetrains that we
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
have available to us in saying who you
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
know most internal combustion engines
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
they don't really come into their own
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
until really late in the RPM range
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
generally speaking and you know it's
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
interesting these electric engines we
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
have have a million torque for torques
[TS]
00:50:57
◼
►
if you're Jeremy Clarkson from 0 RPM and
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
just like you said earlier John you know
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
why don't we put these together and in
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
am surprised that the Ferrari is the law
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
of the ferrari laferrari cr0 to protect
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
me exactly is the first thing that there
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
is the first real supercar application
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
that I'm aware of that really puts the
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
two together for nothing but performance
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
and it seems in retrospect so obvious
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
you have the electric motor when you're
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
making no torque and you have the
[TS]
00:51:20
◼
►
internal combustion motor when you're
[TS]
00:51:22
◼
►
making a ton of torque while the
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
batteries are always the problem like we
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
do that if we could just have the
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
battery's not be inside the car maybe we
[TS]
00:51:29
◼
►
could being the the electricity to the
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
car through a high-power laser of some
[TS]
00:51:32
◼
►
kind maybe because that's you know
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
that's the problem is don't want the
[TS]
00:51:36
◼
►
microwave and simcity yeah so now I like
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
this what this doubling of energy
[TS]
00:51:40
◼
►
density of batteries in the past decade
[TS]
00:51:42
◼
►
is now got to the point where now also i
[TS]
00:51:44
◼
►
think that is me a sex doing this as
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
well having a some sort of hybrid thing
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
I don't know operated by the the portion
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
that BMW i8 is also doing it but we are
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
not talking about being with you anymore
[TS]
00:51:52
◼
►
because the shows too much about BMW
[TS]
00:51:54
◼
►
yeah it's not like I mean if this cars
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
is basically you know it's me it's an
[TS]
00:51:59

I don't think it looks like a cartoon
[TS]

because if you look at that was that the
[TS]
00:54:21
◼

Lamborghini something with a V video or

00:54:24
◼

something like that's terrible that

looks like a cartoon car ferrari I I
[TS]
00:54:28
◼

feel like has been has the best styling
[TS]
00:54:31
◼

among the top tier supercars because
[TS]
00:54:33
◼

they make their cars interesting and not
[TS]
00:54:35
◼

but they don't like lozenges they don't
[TS]
00:54:37
◼

look like a smooth stone polished in a
[TS]
00:54:40
◼

river like they have personality but
[TS]
00:54:42
◼

they don't look like something that is
[TS]
00:54:44
◼

six-year-old withdraw without fins and
[TS]
00:54:46
◼

wings and how much of the stuff sticking

out of it so well I barely remember

00:54:49
◼

something an eight-year-old right LOL no
[TS]
00:54:52
◼

i think i think this there is a
[TS]
00:54:54
◼

sophistication to this i think this
[TS]
00:54:56
◼

particular one is much much more
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
successful incarnation of this sort of
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
style of car than the Enzo was the Enzo
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
had some awkward bits on it
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
all these cars are basically like a
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
carbon fibre tub bolted to an engine
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
with suspension on it and then you have
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
to figure it out put a car body over it
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
so kind of like an f1 car like styling
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
is not they have limited freedom and
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
styling with this car because his car is
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
not about just looking beautiful as
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
their top and performance car and if you
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
have to compromise between styling
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
performance and this this is the car
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
ferrari says actually no we got a whole
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
blind performances the whole . this car
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
exist and across the bazillion dollars
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
so it better be fast but i think they do
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
a much better job with the styling than
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
their competitors including the McLaren
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
p1 which I think was like a a giant fish
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
or snail or some other kind of ugly
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
thing I still think the other Ferraris
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
are better looking than this but there
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
they can be because they can afford to
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
be because they don't have to be so
[TS]
00:55:51
◼
►
uncompromising about performance but I i
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
give this following a pretty big thumbs
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
up especially after the dark times of
[TS]
00:55:59
◼
►
the endzone the f50 which were not
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
attractive cars
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
i mean i-i think it looks good but yeah
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
I just it i can't really judge was not

00:56:08
◼
►
for me i got nothing for me lately like
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
like learning a car like i can look at a
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
really nice-looking car but if I if I
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
later learn that that like the inside is
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
kind of like the interior is kind of
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
crappy or it doesn't ride very well or
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
it's just like really impractical that

[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
you just like like I can't I can't enjoy
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
looking at cars like this or looking at
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
cars that I that I learn our are bad and
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
some other way even if they look good
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
I lose the ability to enjoy that once
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
once I start thinking about like
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
aspirationally what I want to own this
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
and I think
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
you know for all these different reasons
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
so I i kinda can enjoy it
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
so if you were to in the comedy of what
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
I'm about to say is i'm asking the
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
future / owner of an m5 but Marco money

00:57:03
◼
►
no object
[TS]
00:57:04
◼

uh-huh what supercar do you think you
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
would have the m5 it could be for
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
exactly the reason i got an--oh okay
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
seriously car i thought so he said let's
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
assume you have infinite money which
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
means you already have like a car for
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
the family car and you have the car for
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
every day trips and now you have this
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
infinity pool of money like what about a
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
car for the days when I just want to go
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
to the track or just go out on the road
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
and just fool around no one else is
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
gonna drive this car could have one seat
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
for all you know this is the sole
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
purpose card its own separate house that
[TS]

you want you just walk up and show for
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►

[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
what car is that car
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
honestly I don't know I've never thought
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
about that because well first of all in
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
many cases I think the m5 would still be
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
that car
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
uh I would but but I just I just think I
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
i don't know like I i don't i don't
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
fantasize about getting into some other
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
kind of like super high-end cars why
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
I've never even considered my options
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
even our yeah i think it like i can
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
imagine you being that person who would
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
like to figure out what it is like now
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
you've got this infinite money and you
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
got nothing to do with your time except
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
for you know figure out your stable cars
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
here like I want the car that I'm just
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
going to go and blaster and roads and
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
have fun with you might end up with
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
something like an Ariel Atom because you
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
may drive that and say whoo-whoo that's
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
the biggest blast gets insanely fast and
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
he opens a new sensation you don't get
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
for something else that is super car
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
like performance is also ugly as sin you
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
know maybe that's not a factor for you
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
in when purchasing this type of car
[TS]
00:58:32
◼
►
yeah I don't know I I just like I think
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
one of the reasons why i like the m5 so
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
much is because it is all those things
[TS]
00:58:40
◼
►
to me like I can I can have my key to me
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
i can have all of those like for me it
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
does although supercar roles that I want
[TS]
00:58:49
◼
►
you know in my fantasy world but it's
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
also a practical everyday car and it's
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
comfortable and has air conditioning and
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
a good radio like it has hot those
[TS]
00:58:58
◼
►
things like it it that's why I like it
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
so much and i know what I've always
[TS]
00:59:02
◼
►
liked to store thousands of things it
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
is much more than some you sure yet
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
already car it's much slower than all
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
these other supercars were talking about
[TS]
00:59:10
◼
►
in ways that you would actually notice
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
not like it's a tenth of a second slower
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
things are under two seconds to 60 you
[TS]
00:59:16
◼
►
would notice that difference it's like
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
twice as fast practically but we're not
[TS]
00:59:19
◼
►
be going that I could even I mean I I
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
don't even I can't even use the m5
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
capacity where where I live and where I
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
Drive even if i was going to a track i
[TS]
00:59:28
◼
►
would like the m5 is so good on the
[TS]
00:59:31
◼
►
track it's so far beyond my abilities as
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
a driver to even take advantage of that
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
power that I feel like if I had
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
something even more powerful the only
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
reason the only way I would be able to
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
really take advantage of it is if I
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
became a full-time track driver and got
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
really good head and down 0-2
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
what about it obviously on a track i
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
think you would prefer something not
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
like a miata maybe like that the-the-the
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
like a miata maybe like that the-the-the
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
rsr no subaru brz not because it would
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
be faster on the track but because like
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
if we gave you a choice like you had to
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
laugh this track in your iphone 5 and
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
then they gave you a much lighter weight
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
car that is just you know better suited
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
to the track even if you went around the
[TS]
01:00:15
◼
►
track slower because they don't have as
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
much power i think you would have more
[TS]
01:00:18
◼
►
fun because it's like better suited to
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
the track is definitely that's what this
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
section of your your stable cars is for
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
is not necessarily to make a mean and
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
that's why i said Ariel Atom you know it
[TS]
01:00:28
◼
►
is really fast it could be something
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
that is slower than your other car but
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
it's just more fun because it's like an
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
amusement-park ride and it feels
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
different when you're not swinging 4,000
[TS]
01:00:37

pounds around corners when you're

golf cart but no breaks you know just

m5 what about you Casey absolutely
[TS]
01:02:38
◼

unequivocally without a shadow of a
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
doubt I would choose the wrong car which
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
is an Aston Martin not really any flavor
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
probably dds that's that's so wrong but
[TS]
01:02:47
◼
►
i can see the the the value system using
[TS]
01:02:50
◼

the pic that is is at the other extreme
[TS]
01:02:51
◼

from Marco but I'm i think I'm kind of
[TS]

in the middle where you you are you want
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
to own something beautiful yes and that
[TS]
01:02:59
◼

it weighs heavily in your choice of what
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
car you're getting because it's not all
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
if it will help out how the car

Mars right right now yeah you get
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
something on a hammond likes i would
[TS]
01:03:12
◼

like the Pagani yeah he always liked the
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
ugly weirdo performance Scott yeah it
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
yeah everybody acting as Martin he wants
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
it's like it's like a piece of art or
[TS]
01:03:21
◼
►
sculpture it's like it because you want
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
to own a beautiful thing
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
yeah i definitely will say that like the
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
Aston Martin that's one of the only like
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
super high-end cars looked at and and
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
just like wanted just from a like I've
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
wanted in a physical way it's not like i
[TS]
01:03:36
◼
►
like i wanted to do bad things to the
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
muffler but like you know like you you
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
can look at that you can say that is a
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
beautiful obviously I I totally get that
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
although when I went to go pick up the
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
1am it at that
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
specialty dealer they had an estimate on
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
the show floor it was like an exotic car
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
dealer and I got to sit in it and it was
[TS]
01:03:52
◼
►
the first never been in one and I and I
[TS]
01:03:54
◼
►
was kind of disappointed I was like you
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
know this is nice and everything but
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
first of all you SAT really low to the
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
ground which I discussed last episode I
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
don't really like and it was just it
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
just sitting in it wasn't that thrilling
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
it wasn't really a car / forward Carl so
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
it has to two strikes against it but
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
yeah it i mean like i said in every way
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
it is completely wrong except that in my
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
personal opinion it is the most
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
beautiful car I've ever seen in my life
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
I mean it's just was stunningly pretty
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
and I although I would you could
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
very legitimately argue that the subaru
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
was not terribly pretty you could argue
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
that the three that the 335i actually
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
think it's pretty but you could argue it
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
isn't i think my 300zx still looks semi
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
modern and nobody will agree with me but
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
i think that that's true collaboration
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
that the big but I is the one that has
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
the big everything because I think
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
everybody's very survival is very
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
encouraging one
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
yeah very curvy I still find it to be
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
beautiful and it had to be honest as a
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
very similar lines to an Aston Martin
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
not what that's a terrible comparison
[TS]
01:05:00
◼
►
but to my weird I it has some more lines
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
to an Aston Martin and so I think the
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
acid is just an unbelievably just
[TS]
01:05:06
◼
►
painfully beautiful car in and even
[TS]
01:05:09
◼
►
though it's not as fast as it probably
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
should or could be it probably will
[TS]
01:05:12
◼
►
never work properly and I won't say
[TS]
01:05:15
◼
►
that's because it's British but it
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
nonetheless it's just it i think it
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
would be unbelievably fun I'd love one
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
that's the kind of car like we were
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
before we had the baby we were
[TS]
01:05:25
◼
►
discussing possibly taking like a
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
driving vacation after California too
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
and we we would rent a a supercar of
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
some kind and and drive along the
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
California coastline on whatever road
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
that is pacific coast highway that
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
yeah and we listen to this and and
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
there's a company after that will rent
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
you asked Martin but only automatic and
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
and that's why end and we eventually we
[TS]
01:05:51
◼
►
cancel the whole trip because I just
[TS]
01:05:53
◼
►
wish we could schedule it goes with
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
practicalities in life but that's like I
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
would gladly if I was like going on a
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
trip and going to rent something exotic
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
I i think i would still pick an ass and
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
I would hope if I could get a stick but
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
i would at least probably still pick it
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
anyway or i would get a Ferrari honestly
[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
on especially cuz a lot of them you can
[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
get a lot of the Old Forest sticks but
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
when you looked into Gotham did we got
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
ya and i was one of the companies and
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
they also got things automatically think
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
right yeah I was unfortunately nobody
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
can drive stick right and he would
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
destroy the clutch of this Ferrari
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
everytime directed it exactly right so
[TS]
01:06:30
◼
►
John what would you pick i know the
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
answer some sort of the pony but horsey
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
if you will but would it be the ferrari
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
laferrari for specific
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
now some my car my like my fantasy car
[TS]
01:06:44
◼
►
that I'd I i own it through by proxy
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
through a through force of will is
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
always the and now it has been the
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
middle-of-the-road mid-engine ferrari so
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
it was 348 then it was 355 then it was
[TS]
01:06:57
◼
►
360 that was the 430 now it's the 458
[TS]
01:07:00
◼
►
that's my car at as ferrari keeps
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
upgrading at each time they produce a
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
new version i have to decide am I going
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
to continue saying this is my car this
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
line of cars or have they made it too
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
ugly for me or bad in some way so right
[TS]
01:07:16
◼
►
now would be it would be the 458 that
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
said if I had to choose between the 415
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
laferrari it might be a difficult choice
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
because you just said the laferrari yeah
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
i know that they simply say it because
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
the the like the f50 and the Enzo were
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
just so and even have 40 for that matter
[TS]
01:07:35
◼
►
were just so objectionable to be
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
smelling whys and the reason i picked
[TS]
01:07:37
◼
►
for our instead of Lamborghini or any
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
other supercars that may be faster is
[TS]
01:07:40
◼
►
because i really like Ferrari styling I
[TS]
01:07:42
◼
►
think that they have they've struck the
[TS]
01:07:45
◼
►
right balance between something that
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
looks beautiful in something looks
[TS]
01:07:48
◼
►
functional and something that's a little
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
bit cool looking and I and they're
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
they're starting has been evolving like
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
from that you know from the Testarossa
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
348 with the big you know stripes on the
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
side you know that their evolution they
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
have lost me yet they haven't gone into
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
a bangle phase you know they haven't
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
they haven't really just gone off the
[TS]
01:08:05
◼
►
rails with the styling and that's really
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
a big part of why I want to listen not
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
just because it's fast and mechanical
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
Marvel but because it's fast and
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
mechanical Marvel and beautiful kind of
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
like that we you know like Apple
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
hardware you again and talk about the
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
mac pro briefly you know i like the idea
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
that something is incredibly powerful
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
and sophisticated and also beautiful
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
inside and out
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
right like the dual g5 is a good example
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
that we're stuck at 500 megahertz
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
forever with incredibly slow front side
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
bus and finally make a machine that's
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
going to break out of it and it was
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
beautiful inside and out that was like
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
the Ferrari of max for a brief moment in
[TS]
01:08:39
◼
►
time right up so that's why would
[TS]
01:08:41
◼
►
definitely be 4i probably 458 it
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
realistically speaking of money was an
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
infinite someone gave me laferrari i
[TS]
01:08:48
◼
►
would sell it get a 458 and like
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
no some sort of sedan and the 458 I mean
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
it is very pretty without without
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
question it is a very very pretty car so
[TS]
01:08:58
◼
►
i can . to be honest your answer is the
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
right answer but when you have this kind
[TS]
01:09:02
◼
►
of question and you answer from the
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
harder the gutter the groin or whatever
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
I would still stick in my Aston and i
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
would probably also entirely as not as
[TS]
01:09:10
◼
►
hard as I said that a some reason like
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
listings for high-end apartments in like
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
a note i want or whatever some some
[TS]
