The Accidental Tech Podcast

00:00:00 ◼   ► I was looking at something and then jumped away that the kind of experience [TS]

00:00:03 ◼   ► you wanna provide me pull off so there is actually a term just like there is [TS]

00:00:09 ◼   ► everything a business like parking lot and all staff all gortari how much [TS]

00:00:14 ◼   ► talked about for the concept I think I just grabbed an earlier show people in [TS]

00:00:19 ◼   ► middle management are motivated to make things that are bad not sound quite as [TS]

00:00:24 ◼   ► bad when I talk to their boss because if you're telling your bad boss bad news [TS]

00:00:28 ◼   ► about tobacco why is this bad news happening in the reason we pay you it [TS]

00:00:32 ◼   ► make bad things that happen and so as it goes up the management James say you [TS]

00:00:36 ◼   ► start with the truth down the leaf nodes but I'ma get to the CEO is a disastrous [TS]

00:00:41 ◼   ► from doesn't sound so bad and a terrible that is green shifting which is a plan [TS]

00:00:45 ◼   ► red shifting just like any other galaxies are racing away from us and and [TS]

00:00:48 ◼   ► the wavelength of light coming from stretch towards the red side of the [TS]

00:00:51 ◼   ► visible light spectrum saw the galaxies stars tougher red shifted green shifting [TS]

00:00:56 ◼   ► is getting nicer as they go up there are charged so that's a great time had not [TS]

00:01:00 ◼   ► heard it before but it's a real thing I've not heard that either I never heard [TS]

00:01:06 ◼   ► it you can use it you can use green shifting on a year or China home isn't [TS]

00:01:10 ◼   ► quite deep enough maybe like cops that something terrible outside a Carlton [TS]

00:01:14 ◼   ► something gross when you report it to Adam you can say all hops just got a [TS]

00:01:18 ◼   ► little dirty and then when Adam [TS]

00:01:21 ◼   ► by 150% fun outside and then [TS]

00:01:26 ◼   ► cops encapsulated in green shifted that obviously pretty much happens like this [TS]

00:01:32 ◼   ► really is is very plausible of a situation to happen and how to get our [TS]

00:01:38 ◼   ► household Raffaele rate in this is an interesting take on something we talked [TS]

00:01:43 ◼   ► about last episode about you know walking out and about software quality [TS]

00:01:47 ◼   ► and having like Snow Leopard releases are you just work on bugs and stuff and [TS]

00:01:51 ◼   ► the the concept of year the releases came up and what I was arguing with like [TS]

00:01:56 ◼   ► it's really arbitrary if you're a discipline software organization and [TS]

00:01:59 ◼   ► that by becoming his last year's all you're doing is changing the discipline [TS]

00:02:03 ◼   ► from working on something until it's done by justice sticking to it [TS]

00:02:08 ◼   ► schedule and saying what it in and what about that schedule and anything that [TS]

00:02:12 ◼   ► gets pushed to the next release and so on and so forth that's night and [TS]

00:02:15 ◼   ► Raffaele gave the example that should have thought of that is true for a lot [TS]

00:02:21 ◼   ► of the software used today instead of doing fewer avisas how about doing more [TS]

00:02:27 ◼   ► releases as in continuous reviews kind of like Chrome browser they call [TS]

00:02:30 ◼   ► evergreen that are sort of like mandatory auto updating and you don't [TS]

00:02:34 ◼   ► really care about the version is like none of us know off hand or chrome [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► Bergeron run whatever the latest this anti-crime updates all the time and [TS]

00:02:40 ◼   ► updates whenever they feel like it if instead of having yearly releases and [TS]

00:02:46 ◼   ► saying well that's that's that's that's too much of a rush make them two-year [TS]

00:02:49 ◼   ► get rid of the whole concept of like this big important released its where [TS]

00:02:54 ◼   ► the inter press release and bullet points and instead just do small [TS]

00:02:56 ◼   ► incremental train its all time I think jeff Atwood had a park about this couple [TS]

00:03:01 ◼   ► years ago the Internet version but basically the same thing that most [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► people are familiar with the web browsers where version stopped mattering [TS]

00:03:07 ◼   ► is just the software exists and it continued to continuously update itself [TS]

00:03:12 ◼   ► and hopefully gets better and that's a different a different mindset where [TS]

00:03:17 ◼   ► you're making lots of small changes which are easier to make and the [TS]

00:03:21 ◼   ► consequences of screening upper smaller because then you're sure you then you [TS]

00:03:24 ◼   ► know what it is screwed it up like if you made one small change and all of a [TS]

00:03:27 ◼   ► sudden you know there was some huge performance regression and some damn [TS]

00:03:31 ◼   ► operation I crash happened with chrome 43 recently you know what changed in [TS]

00:03:36 ◼   ► that and you you can really impact because it's just one small change from [TS]

00:03:40 ◼   ► the previous version and B if you have a chance of fixing it was you know exactly [TS]

00:03:45 ◼   ► what small thing it was so if you make a series of small changes over time it's [TS]

00:03:48 ◼   ► potentially better for your customers and also better for you in terms of [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► knowing what you've done to screw things up so I kind of like this idea and [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► looking at the software that we use more and more of it so I swear you said you [TS]

00:04:03 ◼   ► updates manually then became auto updating we're not quite to the infant [TS]

00:04:08 ◼   ► version for all software available but moving away from ikea.com marketing [TS]

00:04:12 ◼   ► releases were the only reason you have a big thing is it's kind of like a [TS]

00:04:15 ◼   ► tradition or a holdover from when you bought things in cardboard boxes and of [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► course there had to be a big deal because you have to put a new set of [TS]

00:04:23 ◼   ► cardboard boxes and new art and cover like doing nearly didn't really says is [TS]

00:04:27 ◼   ► really just kind of a holdover from that and it seems like the trend is away from [TS]

00:04:31 ◼   ► that and more towards continuous releases and I think that I'm intrigued [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► by his idea like to subscribe to the newsletter the the upside I said like [TS]

00:04:40 ◼   ► that it only doing these days regular basis for marketing purposes [TS]

00:04:43 ◼   ► purposes but marketing is not nothing right if our goal was to move to a sort [TS]

00:04:48 ◼   ► of a news release cycle for major products that means it gives up the perk [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► of being able to make grand announcements at WWDC some kind of press [TS]

00:04:59 ◼   ► conference for the invite the press out to show them something you can't get [TS]

00:05:02 ◼   ► that anymore you don't get the big bump in the press you don't get the Apple [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► today announced blah blah blah blah blah maybe they get that less for software [TS]

00:05:08 ◼   ► and hardware but that is there is a downside to this and part of the reason [TS]

00:05:13 ◼   ► Apple keeps doing these markings releases is because it's it's worth it [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► to them to get the extra hype and publicity and get people excited and hat [TS]

00:05:22 ◼   ► and seemed to make significant progress I got a lot of what we thought about [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► Apple's like one day they appear and they say hey we've got this great idea [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► and look at this new thing the new thing if we got that same thing in seven [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► hundred steps [TS]

00:05:35 ◼   ► you know instead of one big bang it's less impressive even though we end up in [TS]

00:05:40 ◼   ► the same spot so I think there has to be a factor I i still think it's worth it [TS]

00:05:44 ◼   ► but that's that's the calculus that have to do internally if they want to move [TS]

00:05:48 ◼   ► this type of system for software release alright and Eric Michaels overhead some [TS]

00:05:54 ◼   ► interesting thoughts on iphone battery thinness yes last week we're talking [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► about the battery case and I of course complain that I always do that the [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► iPhone battery life is not good enough and one of the theories presented was [TS]

00:06:05 ◼   ► that maybe the battery case was kind of like apple filling out the market for a [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► little more info on whether people really do want more battery life in [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► their iPhones in order to inform future decisions about the iPhone designs and [TS]

00:06:18 ◼   ► her friend Eric Michael Bowden to point out that you know but this time the [TS]

00:06:21 ◼   ► iPhone seven is almost certainly already completely done and designed the new [TS]

00:06:26 ◼   ► iPhone battery cases a signal that the battery life for the iPhone seven will [TS]

00:06:30 ◼   ► probably the same or worse than the iPhone 6 and success you have to wait [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► until the inevitably figure i Phone 7 released next year to introduce a [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► battery case the press would have jumped on them saying improved battery life in [TS]

00:06:40 ◼   ► the iPhone seven to be adequate now if Apple releases new battery case for the [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► iPhone seven Apple battery cases will be old news because they of course just [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► released this one for the iPhone 6 in other words this is the first Apple [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► battery case not the last [TS]

00:06:53 ◼   ► so that that all that from your friend I think that is pretty much on point I [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► think he's almost certainly right that the seven is almost certainly done or or [TS]

00:07:01 ◼   ► close enough to done that they wouldn't be making major changes to things like [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► how large the battery is because that's a pretty major physical change to it to [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► a design I'm guessing this is maybe not quite planned out quite that well but [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► more like the battery case was dead [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► seems like a band-aid solution it seems like something that Apple did not expect [TS]

00:07:21 ◼   ► maybe even one year ago to be making and releasing now but that they they [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► identified a problem / opportunity and made it to address that but I think he's [TS]

00:07:33 ◼   ► right that there probably are not going to be meaningfully addressing battery [TS]

00:07:36 ◼   ► life in the iPhone seven and if they were released this because they often [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► seven gonna be out in you know what seven or eight months nine months so [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► that you know apples apples very patient and so they were really good [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► address this problem in the iPhone seven and give us a big chunk of battery life [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► improvement they probably wouldn't release the battery case today or at [TS]

00:07:56 ◼   ► least it would make it a lot less likely they would so i i think is right and I [TS]

00:07:59 ◼   ► think we're going to have to live with it you know that people who want more [TS]

00:08:03 ◼   ► battery power either gonna go go to the plus or just use external battery cases [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► are battery packs like this theory only works if you assume Apple is the only [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► company in the world that makes iPhone accessories battery cases have been a [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► thing for ever like there is no idea that there is no additional wait for [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► Apple making a battery cases like big cell battery cases in their stores [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► people use them all the time it's a thing like Apple's just making one of [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► them because if I got around to making one of them of course there is going to [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► be like of course it's going to be like that's that's the way it goes right and [TS]

00:08:34 ◼   ► predicting the battery life will be similar [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► well it's been similar for many years now that's not a big surprise either I [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► just don't make the leap always there for releasing this really is a way to [TS]

00:08:45 ◼   ► avoid appearing to say that the iPhone 72 good battery life is gonna have the [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► same as you know and the success within a small margin of error in its gonna be [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► thinner of the phones I think it's a status quo and a lot of people reporting [TS]

00:09:00 ◼   ► also like say no Apple makes a better case that let them know more information [TS]

00:09:05 ◼   ► about who buys battery cases but they sell them in their stores they already [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► happened informations they could be charging the battery cases they sell [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► themselves from third parties just as well as they can be charging their own [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► so I think Apple has a pretty good feel of who wants a battery case and what [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► sizes are the most popular and it just made one for the same reason it makes [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► leather case in the silicon case and cases for iPads and other accessories [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► they make because of the things that people want to buy an Apple make one for [TS]

00:09:33 ◼   ► you and you can buy from them and their margins are probably better than anyone [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► else because they get good pricing on parts and they charge like 10 or 20 more [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► bucks and everyone else for their logo it is also worth considering you know [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► the the rumors are getting pretty strong as a lot of smoke and even some evidence [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► now that there will be a new foreign China phone design soon we don't know [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► how soon maybe it's in the spring maybe in the fall who knows doesn't matter [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► that much to be honest but there there is certainly a lot of smoke by these [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► rumors so there is very likely to be fired this is very likely to be a real [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► thing that is happening and it's essential to make a new foreign if the [TS]

00:10:11 ◼   ► rumors are true the foreign film will have the approximate internals of the [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► iPhone's success now if you look at any kind of bad battery life graphs for the [TS]

00:10:21 ◼   ► iPhones [TS]

00:10:22 ◼   ► there was actually a noticeable jump from the five master the six and we saw [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► we saw this for years beforehand with Android phones that are bigger than all [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► the iPhones when you make a big phone you have room for more battery the [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► reason why the six plus gets more battery life is because it has a battery [TS]

00:10:40 ◼   ► that something like fifty percent larger than the six because there's room for it [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► without making it too [TS]

00:10:45 ◼   ► obscenely thick or two or two weirdly heavy for its for its proportional size [TS]

00:10:49 ◼   ► and it out runs the screen like the screen up bigger to take more power but [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► the more battery out runs the more screens so the bigger you make it like [TS]

00:10:57 ◼   ► the more the battery wins exactly so it does look very likely they will be a [TS]

00:11:02 ◼   ► foreign phone but if we follow that that advantage now then backwards back to [TS]

00:11:07 ◼   ► making foreign phones again a four-inch phone with Apple's current priorities [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► for thinness and and the expectation like the 5 S's way thicker than the six [TS]

00:11:17 ◼   ► and the 62 has more battery life and because of that the ratio of the volume [TS]

00:11:21 ◼   ► now they're not going to make a new foreign phone that's a stick of the 5s [TS]

00:11:25 ◼   ► again it would of course be thinner it would probably be more like the iPod [TS]

00:11:30 ◼   ► Touch oriole not not at the end but radios but it will probably be more like [TS]

00:11:34 ◼   ► the success thickness but just in a smaller body that small foreign assuming [TS]

00:11:40 ◼   ► it's real and assuming it's coming out soon and assuming it has the guts of a [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► success would probably get pretty mediocre battery life even worse than [TS]

00:11:47 ◼   ► the success I would guess well there's any other tool that they have their [TS]

00:11:51 ◼   ► disposal but they've been leveraging is make it to the stuff inside upon less [TS]

00:11:55 ◼   ► power so one thing is obviously if they do you know another process [TS]

00:11:59 ◼   ► on the immune system on a chip that's some savings there the other rumors have [TS]

00:12:04 ◼   ► been reading about as probably not the iPhone seven but the thing to think [TS]

00:12:07 ◼   ► about the future is moving too old for the screens which is another power [TS]

00:12:11 ◼   ► savings and you know you have to think what is left is taking power in the [TS]

00:12:14 ◼   ► phones but there's send and receive for the cell signal which are not entirely [TS]

00:12:18 ◼   ► sure how much you can do about that because a certain point you have to have [TS]

00:12:20 ◼   ► a signal of a certain strength just to talk to the towers and stuff writes that [TS]

00:12:24 ◼   ► there's the screen and there is the increasing the small number of chips on [TS]

00:12:30 ◼   ► the thing most dominated by the system-on-a-chip and maybe I guess the [TS]

00:12:34 ◼   ► RAM and so you get your biggest bang for the buck of making make you scream [TS]

00:12:38 ◼   ► tickets power making system-on-chip to US power and that's what Apple has [TS]

00:12:41 ◼   ► always been doing over time and so that is their tool to perhaps eventually [TS]

00:12:46 ◼   ► outrun the tennis you know they're getting thinner overtime right so far [TS]

00:12:54 ◼   ► they've just been kinda like on this night stage and I think you're right [TS]

00:12:57 ◼   ► that the that they're not going to make it 4-1 as big as the 5s and therefore [TS]

00:13:01 ◼   ► will probably get certainly will get worried about her license XXS eyes on [TS]

00:13:05 ◼   ► certainly that well against works than the five wells gonna have a way more [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► power efficient system 5 bested but then again I don't know they could under [TS]

00:13:14 ◼   ► clock at the have to have tools at their disposal to set to essentially pick the [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► battery life but I don't think it's crazy to say that the smartphone is [TS]

00:13:20 ◼   ► going to get less gonna have low battery life just in general and and that also [TS]

00:13:25 ◼   ► if you assume all this to be true that we are speculating on here that also is [TS]

00:13:30 ◼   ► more explanation why Apple want to get into the battery case market now and [TS]

00:13:35 ◼   ► can't get prepared for it and then when they released the new iPhone 6-4 [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► whatever you know when they release a new small phone then Apple already makes [TS]

00:13:46 ◼   ► battery cases and this is a thing that you can do if you do if you need more [TS]

00:13:49 ◼   ► battery life will be offer it isn't a design flaw you see you could just buy [TS]

00:13:53 ◼   ► this accessory if we make for this phone that will be smart and right there long [TS]

00:13:57 ◼   ► time so I think it makes a lot of sense you know looking at them the most likely [TS]

00:14:02 ◼   ► reasons why the battery case and as we said last week anything and [TS]

00:14:08 ◼   ► and as as other people pointed out especially our friend John Gruber it [TS]

00:14:11 ◼   ► really is not a terrible products it's just a little bit weird and and there's [TS]

00:14:15 ◼   ► it's it's not that great to look at and it's a little as a few questionable [TS]

00:14:18 ◼   ► design aspects to it but the functionality of everyone says seems to [TS]

00:14:22 ◼   ► be pretty decent on that note I wanna do equipment a follow-up on my soul a memo [TS]

00:14:27 ◼   ► case they ordered during last week's show now I actually got a chance to use [TS]

00:14:32 ◼   ► it for a few days over the last week and it first of all it's not enough I [TS]

00:14:37 ◼   ► certified so what that means is that Apple has not given three made for [TS]

00:14:41 ◼   ► iPhone stamp of approval it basically means that Apple is not certified to be [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► compatible and safe and everything else to use iPhones so there's some risk [TS]

00:14:50 ◼   ► involved here and if I were using a case every single day I might reconsider [TS]

00:14:56 ◼   ► using one that was not enough I certified and its weird like the new [TS]

00:15:00 ◼   ► lightning connector on the inside that it uses the phone it's obviously like [TS]

00:15:04 ◼   ► not a real Apple lightning plug this is obviously like a knock off in every way [TS]

00:15:09 ◼   ► it's a knock off that's one of the reasons why it is shaped unlike any [TS]

00:15:14 ◼   ► other iPhone country ever seen in the way it kind of like a cuddly mood [TS]

00:15:19 ◼   ► lighting port down so it charges through lightning and just end it has no chin [TS]

00:15:24 ◼   ► the only battery case I found it has no chin not even Apple's manages to do that [TS]

00:15:28 ◼   ► but it's probably some good reason why within a month I suspect other people [TS]

00:15:32 ◼   ► can't do that if I certified probably something about like you know how much [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► stress can take a look kind of design it has to have something has to be or [TS]

00:15:39 ◼   ► something [TS]

00:15:40 ◼   ► overall it is surprisingly thin and light it is not as thin as like you know [TS]

00:15:46 ◼   ► the apple of her case or anything you do notice that it does add thickness but it [TS]

00:15:51 ◼   ► doesn't have a lot of size and so it actually feels pretty good to use it [TS]

00:15:55 ◼   ► does not feel intrusive in the pocket it's an iPhone 3G / 3G s plastic feels [TS]

00:16:01 ◼   ► pretty good to grip in the hand it is done so having trying a new battery [TS]

00:16:06 ◼   ► cases maybe now appreciate that the one apple says call there's the smart [TS]

00:16:11 ◼   ► battery case you know this one you have to turn it on and turn it off manually [TS]

00:16:16 ◼   ► it does not turn itself off when the phone because under percent [TS]

00:16:20 ◼   ► you know it or or when it's down to zero whatever they get it doesn't do anything [TS]

00:16:24 ◼   ► smart it is literally just like you manually apply power to your phone when [TS]

00:16:28 ◼   ► you feel like it and then you turn it off when you feel like your phone is [TS]

00:16:31 ◼   ► charged enough it is done it is cheaper it is not enough I certified that being [TS]

00:16:37 ◼   ► said it does work it is really small and it is really light and it feels good in [TS]

00:16:41 ◼   ► the hand so i think im really bring it to compensate for the next nine months [TS]

00:16:45 ◼   ► or so until the next phone comes out and ask me again how it is after the BBC [TS]

00:16:49 ◼   ► double check your pockets or smoke while you're not the first time i charge my [TS]

01:37:43 ◼   ► decided this week but I'm getting really so it just just looking at the figures [TS]

01:37:48 ◼   ► today like should I just go performance anyway and thinking I still think [TS]

01:37:54 ◼   ► probably not but I was tempted I just just to let you know I will get what one [TS]

01:37:59 ◼   ► thing that I learned while browsing around their forums which I have seen a [TS]

01:38:07 ◼   ► lot of Internet communities it might in my time so far and the Tesla forums are [TS]

01:38:13 ◼   ► not among the most hopeful that I have seen but one thing that I learned from [TS]

01:38:22 ◼   ► these random strangers of very mixed credibility and relevance skills and [TS]

01:38:28 ◼   ► writing skills on a page that loads incredibly slowly because what year is [TS]

01:38:34 ◼   ► this [TS]

01:38:34 ◼   ► anyway on the official forums I learned that apparently there the quoted range [TS]

01:38:41 ◼   ► that you get goes down pretty hard over time it says you lose like three to five [TS]

01:38:46 ◼   ► percent a year [TS]

01:38:48 ◼   ► sounds like a lot and like like the range of free to go from 85 to 90 D is [TS]

01:38:54 ◼   ► only six percent and the difference between the the non P and the PC version [TS]

01:39:01 ◼   ► in battery is something like twenty percent so it's actually it's a pretty [TS]

01:39:05 ◼   ► big difference and so i i wonder you know i i think maybe I really might want [TS]

01:39:11 ◼   ► the maximum range and to not get the PC version if for no other reason which [TS]

01:39:15 ◼   ► store of everything but if for no other reason than to really maximize my [TS]

01:39:19 ◼   ► initial range because I'm not even be getting that in like two years you know [TS]

01:39:23 ◼   ► but the myself more padding on the Rings take their naps during the battery swap [TS]

01:39:27 ◼   ► for $99 lithium-ion batteries that just like the one you're gonna get crap here [TS]

01:39:34 ◼   ► as he is I'm you know it's funny you bring that up because he played a couple [TS]

01:39:38 ◼   ► of interesting points the first thing he said was you know if you were going to [TS]

01:39:43 ◼   ► buy one which I'm not but if you're going to buy one in three years too much [TS]

01:39:48 ◼   ► money if it was if it was affordable hey whatever happened I was trading my car [TS]

01:39:52 ◼   ► ready same thing about Apple products same thing on the list slightly more [TS]

01:39:58 ◼   ► expensive than the average car than a Mac is the average pc [TS]

01:40:01 ◼   ► thank you john in terms of terms of absolute values if not percentage amount [TS]

01:40:07 ◼   ► of three comes right so we'll see but anyway he made an interesting point [TS]

01:40:12 ◼   ► which was the way this technology is an end with the way the batteries are it [TS]

01:40:17 ◼   ► would probably be a pretty dumb idea to purchase one rather than least one and [TS]

01:40:22 ◼   ► I've never had elisa my life and they seem in a lot of ways like a complete [TS]

01:40:26 ◼   ► waste of money to me but I think he's probably right in this case that it [TS]

01:40:30 ◼   ► seems like it would be silly to purchase a car where when you fill the tank so to [TS]

01:40:37 ◼   ► speak in three or four years you will not be able to fill it as high as you [TS]

01:40:41 ◼   ► were once able to when it was new to remember the the plan for the quick [TS]

01:40:45 ◼   ► charge stations that instead of the supercharger they would take the battery [TS]

01:40:48 ◼   ► out and give you a new one [TS]

01:40:50 ◼   ► I don't know if that's the thing anymore but I do remember that plan and it [TS]

01:40:52 ◼   ► wouldn't be a new one it would just be a different one gets its like any propane [TS]

01:40:56 ◼   ► cylinders at the hardware store you might get a new one but chances are [TS]

01:41:00 ◼   ► hitting someone's old rusty one yeah I mean that the majority of the cost of [TS]

01:41:04 ◼   ► the car he says that big battery and so there's no avoiding the fact that [TS]

01:41:08 ◼   ► they're gonna get older they gonna get trapped here and yet at least three [TS]

01:41:11 ◼   ► starts to make sense in that scenario but promised them when the lease is up [TS]

01:41:14 ◼   ► to you [TS]

01:41:15 ◼   ► least another one like they're not gonna yes there's going to be a secondary [TS]

01:41:18 ◼   ► market for them but at a certain point the battery is crap like you know just [TS]

01:41:24 ◼   ► we have been around long enough to get you find some Tesla Roadster and see [TS]

01:41:28 ◼   ► like other test test the road to choose out there that just no one wants because [TS]

01:41:33 ◼   ► it's like it's like selling a car with it was seized engine that gets fine but [TS]

01:41:37 ◼   ► you just need a new engine its $100,000 battery pack this this is not a car that [TS]

01:41:43 ◼   ► I would want to own outright just because it is changing so much still we [TS]

01:41:47 ◼   ► still have the Model S has only been around for what three or four years so I [TS]

01:41:51 ◼   ► like it has been out walking right so we don't really know what the used market [TS]

01:41:55 ◼   ► is like when they get at least residual they really are discounted guessing it [TS]

01:41:59 ◼   ► so by leasing you're putting the risk on Tesla not on you and I think for for a [TS]

01:42:06 ◼   ► product this young with advancing so quickly plus like that they keep [TS]

01:42:10 ◼   ► advancing the features and and the product line and the hardware the table [TS]

01:42:14 ◼   ► in the car wake you know in six months after I get mine there's gonna be some [TS]

01:42:19 ◼   ► massive new feature the my car can do they're gonna wat you know because they [TS]

01:42:23 ◼   ► keep they make things so quickly it isn't even on a yearly schedule they put [TS]

01:42:27 ◼   ► every four months we just knew new features new changes and some of them [TS]

01:42:31 ◼   ► are software that that that the previous Carson get and some of them aren't [TS]

01:42:35 ◼   ► it really is updated as often as like a computer is updated with new features a [TS]

01:42:40 ◼   ► new capabilities in new hardware and so do you really wanna be using a six year [TS]

01:42:44 ◼   ► old one but maybe not you know if you care about all the cool new stuff they [TS]

01:42:48 ◼   ► keep adding I i think at least really does make a lot of sense [TS]

01:42:51 ◼   ► and especially for a car that's this young and its development cycle for an [TS]

01:42:55 ◼   ► industry that this young with the out the whole car industry you know you [TS]

01:42:58 ◼   ► don't know what it's going to be like in three years you don't know what the [TS]

01:43:04 ◼   ► sell one you know it's or what long-term Eaton's might cost you know all those [TS]

01:43:10 ◼   ► are still sucks unknowns that leasing makes a lot of sense yeah I agree the [TS]

01:43:14 ◼   ► other interesting point that that underscore made and I didn't know this [TS]

01:43:19 ◼   ► was the thing but apparently whatever flavor battery is in the Tesla it is [TS]

01:43:24 ◼   ► understood that charging it only to about eighty or ninety percent of it [TS]

01:43:29 ◼   ► exactly what it was [TS]

01:43:31 ◼   ► is better for the battery then charging it all the way to a hundred percent and [TS]

01:43:35 ◼   ► so apparently what you can do is you can say to the car you know what generally [TS]

01:43:40 ◼   ► speaking just charged 80 percent it's out there I'm just gonna be around town [TS]

01:43:44 ◼   ► its fine and then you can like requester or tell it to do a full max range [TS]

01:43:50 ◼   ► charged in the instances here about to go on like a roadtrip fascinating is the [TS]

01:43:56 ◼   ► extension of the BMW's where you have settings every possible thing like Tesla [TS]

01:45:17 ◼   ► yes but this one i mean seemed fine I can i still can't get over how quick it [TS]
