hey boys and girls I'm here with France and and Lars and we're going to talk a little bit today about what's in back of us um this is the brand new uh model y with its brand new light bar and a bunch of styling cues that I'm sure that France is going to tell us about and France and Lars thank you so much for giving us this inside tour I mean I had no idea that the styling Studio was in a uh uh and an airplane hanger it's that's amazing welcome to the studio this kind of the birthplace of all the Tesla products we've been here for for a while it is an old hanger I think at one point 747 fuselages came through here got painted there was a old rail system that would go from one end to the other we've kind of bisected it now but it's twice the length when you when you see it um so it's got you know pretty storyed history here with uh some North R products back in the day now I don't know if they actually built the Flying Wing in here but that was you know at the airport right I don't know how they would they would had to put it this way instead of that way yeah but uh but anyway so I I love this uh kind of U this kind of a atmosphere I yeah it's a it's a really unique building it's a you know bow trust system C tension underneath concrete so there's like literally no Foundation it just supports its own arc um it's yeah survived so we made it home for a while well I love it here um uh we got a chance to uh just look around a little bit I like the balconies and stuff like that that used to be engineering up top and then design engineer for a while we we started small you know yeah I I remember um actually I'm sure that um Elon doesn't remember but um you know the model S was actually designed really close to where um uh we had our own facility in Troy and uh they came down for training first Engineers yeah yeah and so anyways we were I was doing the training and this wild man came in big tall guy running around and want to look at everything we had airplanes and we had what is this place what what is that what what is this made out of all this guy said who is this guy and oh he's the boss but I never really equated this stuff until I bumped into one of those guys and said Remember When Elon came to your factory so he doesn't know it I'm sure he doesn't remember it but but that's where he found out about Reynolds uh right Reynolds Aluminum that that was the uh that was the Republic CB that we were tearing apart we said this stuff's magic it welds and it stamps yeah yeah cool so all right guys Armen funski here with moo Delta Wheels we'll get right back to your new model Y video but I have to show you these Arrow covers here so we've worked with uh Halo black to manufacture these covers they will fit on any Tesla any wheel size except for uh cybertruck and uh we've done extensive cfd and real world testing uh to optimize this for range so um some numbers we increased efficiency by 8% on this model 3 Performance which actually would increase the top speed from 163 miles an hour to 175 so if you're in Germany and You' like to go fast a little bit faster um maybe you'll take a look at these um standard covers uh this Nets you about a 5% increase in range so uh and and to beat that it's not just about covering the whole wheel but there's a lot more tricks that go into the aerodynamics that meet the eye right so there's a chamfer around the perimeter that kind of um extends the geometry of the tire keeping the airflow laminer along the side of the vehicle and actually on the rear we've done some tricks to bring in some air into the wake of the vehicle filling in that large low pressure um Bubble that drags behind the car sucking your back um additionally these are about $2.99 for the covers as you see them they come in black and white but for just a little bit more I think the price is going to be $360 we will actually print your own design onto these and these are not stickers is a very high quality full spectrum high resolution UV print and you you'll just upload a file a PNG file or whatever to uh the website and we'll print this on there for you so really your imagination is the limit you know you can really have whatever you want full color super nice resolution doesn't come off um really fancy stuff and actually a lot of my friends you know they're like hey you know can I do this and that yes you can do everything doesn't matter as long as you upload it um additionally since these covers extend over the entire week wheel will protect the Wheel from Curb Brash right so you know especially on the performance versions you know very low profile tires it's pretty easy to scratch them up and then there's not really a good way to fix aluminum wheels these are sacrificial all right so you can just scratch one get a new one no big deal I'd rather scratch some some plastic than you know nice nice aluminum wheels that you have if you have some existing curb Brash you can also C covered up um but I think with that let's take it back to uh Sandy thank you guys so now we're here looking at something brand spanking new so I'd like to know more about it um why don't we start with maybe telling us a little bit about what you've done for the styling because I mean there's a lot of people that have described what they saw personally I love this I love the you don't have to put a you don't have to put a logo on this baby I mean everybody knows obviously didn't right so yeah yeah I think you know this was our chance to um allow the model y to mature a little bit and separate itself from the model 3 if you recall we just did a you know a facelift on the model 3 last year right and it create it separate it created its own identity got smaller eyes a little more mature took some of the baby fat out of the the surfacing and we had the chance to do something similar here where we could separate even further the model y from the model 3 so you see them on the road you don't get confused anymore there you know there was a lot of carryover parts for the first um go round and this time we said we you know this car really deserves bestselling car it deserves its own identity right so um we wanted to take some of the things that we've been exploring on our other products you know you see on these you know the Cyber cab and and cyber truck you know the light bar across the front and we want to bring that signature to this product and I think it works really well one thing that's really unique is it actually looks like it's the headlights but it's not so the light bar has the DRL in it super slim on the side but really creates a down the road identity the headlights are tucked in here basically where the old you know fog lights were on the uh outgoing model and we just you know like I said we took some of the baby fat out of it Crispen up the the lines you'll see that it's a little bit more Bluff front end but we've also been able to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of it both on the front and the rear combining the slots on the side Etc as you walk around you'll notice you know the body side is fairly familiar yeah I I really I've seen them but I haven't driven one yet but I heard I'm going to be getting a chance we'll get I think there's some guy here that that says I can get in if only we knew who that was but as you come to the back you'll notice that it's pretty distinct in the rear as well and we included you know what is arguably my favorite feature on the car is this one piece light bar and it's really a industry first it's a reflected light so you don't actually see the light source and the light reflects onto this panel here no kidding so your day running light gives you this really beautiful glow that kind of disperses out of here you know highlights the the Tesla badge but it's not direct leting it's indirect leting Lars can turn it on you'll see and a side effect of it is this kind of really beautiful glow you can see it down on and you kind of get this like what I call After Burner effect yeah you know um but yeah you have this just really soft you know uninterrupted light source coming from the the rear the car and then the brake lights and the indicators and everything are still yeah in the kind of traditional shape that you might recognize on the road now so yeah it's really fresh and then some other things we did um we we just continued to look at you know what happens in service what are what how are these cars treated over their lifespan and we worked on you know improving the whole bumper to lift gate relationships so that you know during impacts those are separated now and we have this this bar lifts up with the lift gate and improved aerodynamics down talk about this piece yeah why why did you add another piece you know not that that's how I make my living any but when when you look at the lift lift gate there's like okay we have this big giant lift light bar but also we have this thermoplastic spoiler above it like why would we do that t was all about you know like lower number of parts and really there were two reasons that we kind of did this one was we wanted to increase the sharpness of the spoiler right on the edge Christmas of the radius here is something that we just like have struggled with in aluminum and I think it's a challenge in General on anybody that's trying to do something with this kind of a undercut and when you look at it from the side it's really deeply like that draw is really pretty deep if it was stamped yeah and so getting that sharpness did two things for us one it it allowed us to get the the characteristic line that fron L but two it also helped us adjust the front rear lift balance because we're able to extend the arrow surface just a little bit and so we actually you know reduced the re vehicle's rear lift so that we could actually soften the rear damping and give you better ride comfort and when you add up like the intrinsic value of all those things it's like okay should I add a part it's like well I can increase the range I can make the car look better and I can improve ride Comfort like then you got to do it the extra part yeah you know we have it we squared up the did also that like which is kind of nice so you know the rounded glass now is gone and it's much more linear kind of read from behind the car it looks very swoopy I like uh I like that actually we walked by one thing I wanted to talk about and I just spotted it when I was um and that is well no not yet I'm I'm I'm more interested in this because this is usually one of the things that gives you all kinds of wind noise um um on our little road trip that that we took um the the biggest noise we had was the stupid things and that's why I'm a big fan of how can we get rid of them um I I would I would love to see these kind of like vanish but by putting putting something in here speak to the choir here I uh I just don't well it's hard to I mean you think about it you got a lot of old guys in Washington they you you know they they probably there's 80 guys that that do nothing regulations on mirrors let me tell you and that's how you get well with the adoption of you know full self-driving and autonomy the car doesn't need the mirrors to drive right this is just a human function and when the car is doing the bulk of the driving these are irrelevant they're actually just getting in the way well exactly and and quite frankly I so I have um I have a a cyber truck I doubt very much if I looked in the rearview mirror three times since I owned it why would I do that I got it on the middle of my screen okay somebody says oh yeah but what happens if the lens gets dirty done you can WIP now what yeah what do you do when this thing here is totally frosted up and blah blah so as far as I'm concerned this is the way to go and that's a relic from the stone ages but it's a relic that we have to have currently with the regulations as they're written and so we work really hard to try to optimize them the best they can be so you have you know the best viewing surface but then also the most aerodynamic yeah kind of effect and you'll notice the ridge here is that is there to actually deal with the noise you were talking about Sandy really so yeah so like a lot of the when the air comes over the the you the mirror nominally it comes up here and you get this kind of recirculation it comes back here tornado and then you have the air coming here and so they fight each other and then get the buffeting off the windshield or off the Side Glass but when we do this we're actually able to keep lot of the air down below here so that we don't get as much air mass coming over the top it gives us a lot less of that interaction and so the buffeting sound that you were complaining about is actually much much better well the one thing that I found out uh in talking to people who' have already got an A model Y is that this is super duper quiet compared to uh the three the an old Y and and actually the S as well so uh well sorry my wife's got an s he likes it it's nice and quiet but it ain't like the tomb I drive I mean when you drive a cyber truck it's like like every product we incrementally getting better and better and better the next one will be better than this and on but yeah this one is I think that's when you drive it that'll be one of the things that instantly you recognize it's like we did it the old fashioned way you know like we didn't just throw a bunch of sound deadening in the car that's like easy in twoo many parts so for me it's like you start at the source go to the tire you make sure the tire is like you know vibrational transmission is much much lower its rolling plushness is is is better and it's it's um you know acoustic radiated noise is lower as well we do that through tread pattern optimization with our suppliers so you make the tire better then you stiffen the body right right and we do that locally where we need it where we know we had weak points before so we actually have about 6 7% more torsional stiffness on this car but some of the upper arm and lower arm attachment points that were problem points for us for nvh we actually increased the the local Point Mobility up as much as 40% in some areas a couple areas up as much as 80% and that's just like through you know small changes to the body structure either we've replaced brackets with different brackets or in the case of the casting that we have on the front upper arm we've changed like sort of the thickness and the ribbing just to improve the stiffness and when you have the stiffer body yeah and a like more compliant softer like I shouldn't say softer but more isolating tire then you can let the suspension work more and so that's a big bonus but we didn't just stop there we also changed the front and rear suspension kinematics completely because of what I told you about the rear lift balance we're able to reduce the antis lift at the rear so we actually have more mechanical compliance when we hit a bump wheel goes more back and up with a rear suspension which means it's fighting less of the impact as it as it goes through the stroke and then on the front suspension we actually slowed down the steering ratio a little bit increased our reduced our like sensitivity to acren through the the Turning angle so that you have more linear Progressive feel from the suspension but also we then have less um we have more disturbance re rejection and less like issues when we hit Little inputs just from the suspension so you couple all of that like better Tire stiffer body suspension that works more for ride and compliance and then we added on top of that frequency selective damping which is basically two valves in the damper one for high frequency one for low frequency you know it's got a little Mass on it bypass valve opens when you're in high frequency so you get more flow so a lot of changes for the suspension yeah well one change actually is part of suspension but is steering um any reason why you didn't go with um steer by wire steer by wire I mean it like I you know this is a fully redundant steering system obviously you drive a cyber truck is our first Venture in steer by wire this car is obviously steer by wire it doesn't have a wheel yeah I mean to be honest like in you know I hate to say this but we make 35,000 of these a week and we have capacity it's a lot of supply chain to change over and we just had to sort of pick and shoes um we will get all our cars to steer by wires we get rid of the steering wheels of course but you know it is a process we're going through as we go vehicle by vehicle as FR said Each one getting better each one will get you know will replace more and more so I just got a download and uh the latency number dropped dropped by 50% I I mean are you G I don't know how you do that but anyways um are you going to are you is this one got um is it still uh uh like have you gone to um what do you call it what is the word I'm trying to search for um 5G Ultra wideband no uh uh the uh I love it when I have a brain part and it goes on this long um um ether ethernet oh ether yeah moving it away from uh so yeah so this is uh like the control basis of this vehicle is still pretty much can and like our the same structure that was in the vehicle before but in a few specific areas we've started to implement private cans which are running on ether Loop so for the most part it's canned but like where we need the latency improvements we're starting to add private connections on this again it's sort of like a building up of the of the basis and supply chain with cybertruck we had an opportunity with low volume new stuff to try and get in there and change everything in this one we got to kind of like iterate out a piece by piece and just chip it away okay so let's uh can all this chicken stuff can we pop the uh can we pop the frunk here the lid yeah because there's one thing that you've done that I mean it just eliminates everything everything ah here it is right here folks this now if I can get the dam If I Only Had fingernails that worked here we go ah look at that folks a drain so now when you put your beverages in here it'll just the the water leaks out now people think that Monro what an idiot but you know at the end of the day it's the little things that really make me happy and um you know Ford had theirs you've got yours now I'm so delighted I'm glad congratulations is engineering defeat yeah that's right have two beers yeah yeah so anyways yeah I I I like uh the major things I also like the little things too but we haven't gone inside yet yeah inside is all new completely new completely it's like a a a real start over for for model Y and you know it starts please tell me you didn't change the seat configuration because you have without a question of a doubt I I don't know if you're aware of it but I took you know we tore apart a bunch of these cars and um and I took one of the seats out of the I think it was a model Y and I bolted uh some wheels on it and that is my chair that is what I because these things here I have a back problem from when I was a an idiot kid working on a farm and um and this if I if I come like fly and whatnot my back hurts I go and sit in my chair which is actually your chair and suddenly I don't have a back problem anymore it's like magic so um hopefully you kept the geometry of the or the the uh the the key points on here and and yeah there's only slight like uh styling change on the on the well I see it's a little different but the seat foam is essentially the same so yeah there's there's little is working for us yeah little Z change you'll notice that the interior is an improvement on both the material story and just the the the layout of the the space um with in you know we have ambient lighting now running around it's a million colors take your pick nice center console now and you know with storage hidden storage um and just a just a nice kind of cleanup and yes wow brought back a stock um um we kept so you kept the stock some people say like it disappeared on some cars but well it disappeared on mine I just don't remember by wire makes total sense we don't yeah yeah but have a seat yeah tell me what you think yeah F me yeah thank you well first off I think it's made for somebody a lot shorter than I am and I'm kind of short are drove it perfect so already I can tell you that the lumbar is in a perfect spot I'm I'm U happy this is uh again this is uh this is the inside of this car to me is just perfectly ergonomic for me um and most of the people that I know of that drive these things this is the part they like the best sitting in the driver's seat and right now I can tell you without I'm not I don't want to use the word so I can't think of anything else but really and truly um I can feel my back feeling better already I don't know what you did but I know that um I know cortisone eject what there's a in the back cortisone shot wow feel it so this a little different as well um yeah we got soft dampers on all those yeah I heard that these yeah touch so I like these better anyway because if I have to put a spring in it it's just a spring that's Capac a lot a lot less Parts cheaper smaller we have less gaps to deal with yeah I like I I like it a lot I mean I've liked it since day one you know I I made a lot of noise about different things when when I when you when I got the first one but at the end of the day the um everything here is so easy to get used to that yeah we wanted to just take that recipe from the first car and and just improve it take the feedback um I think you know improving the materials improving the cleaning up the design getting it a little more modern complimenting the exterior work that we did so yeah I'm really pleased with uh well I I uh you should be everything's everything's just cool as anything I really I really like the interior I like that too that's yeah that's a little feature for the launch edition yeah in the second row we got some cool new stuff too oh really uh yeah we carried over the the screen from the model 3 update from last year but also we added power recline you see the buttons you can go in and check them out they're right in the same spot that you were uh you know adjusting the SE that in the front but we tried to you know as it's a family SUV wanted the row seat to have a little bit better experience yeah so looking where go there oh then go forward so we we get about you know 7 eight degrees of recline that you can really sit at and they of course they fold all the way flat so theoretically you could go more but gives a second row occupant like just a better you know riding experience because they get that little bit of extra Comfort actually um one of the other things that I've heard but didn't see yet is you have um Auto Magic here with the um yeah that's kind of a cool feature oh here we are right here so uh maybe we want to pull this out take this out yeah how do we do that oh excellante and it goes in here now it's designed to story right down here what a good idea that is too because most people put it in a garage and never look at them again yep yeah I love this um and you'll notice the front seat moving out of the way too for the headrest so yeah I did not notice that but I do now I pushed it back so you could see that oh and there we go with the uh the other seed yeah one of the big things we did with this was you know which really like I had a challenge to the engineers I said look if I'm going to fold down my seats and you need to get some Cargo in the back you're only going to get this feature and if you can get it to fold down by the time I get out of the door if I press the button from the front seat I want to come back back here open it up and they got to be down yeah so they actually sped up the motor it's about you know 5 6 seconds faster than anyone else on the market in order to make that you know just that feeling transition like much better so um another subtle little thing which you can actually see from here is where we relocated the second row seat belts oh yeah to the seat pillar where is the second row seat belt so you see it's in the seat pillar there and that's because when you folded these seats up you know previously it was back kind of almost in the d-pillar yeah and so it would get when that came back it would get stuck behind the seat and get tangled now we put it in the SE pillar so it doesn't get tangled I have kids they complain to me about this all the time when they're getting it likewise and so we're like you know the best customer is is your you know your own family so we try to make that the most honest yeah at least the most honest you'll never uh you can't get away with anything with with your your kids yeah so that's a big Improvement there for the second row I think overall you notice This Little Light here in Sandy before you give me crap about having too many tail lights this is also a ferally regulated thing I know it's you can't have too many tail lights because when the windows up when the tail Gate's up like this you got to still have the the tail lights available for anyway well at the end of the day I think it I think he did a brilliant job yeah and like I said everybody that I know that's got one of these things is um is saying you know there's lots of storage and we're looking in here we got lots of things going on I want to break anything and this is plenty deep I mean you could pack an extra couple of kids in here really the end yeah my favorite one is actually this one yeah this is the one I was looking for a little bit of extra a lot of times people put their charging cables up there you things you don't need to maybe your your you know tire repair kit things you don't need every day but you know things that are important well things that are important I mean talk to a woman and U and I like that place to put my purse so nobody can see it and this is the ideal spot you can drop it in there yeah and I like the fact that you kept these too I love these cubies on both side so let's put your stuff back in [Music] here there we go so yeah it all looks very nice so let me ask you a couple of questions about other stuff yeah yeah um my first reaction when I saw saw this was uh I'd really like to know what's going on um at this end of the car someone has told me that you've abandoned ship on castings and gone to sheet metal is that correct well I mean three or four of our factories um were already doing the front end in sheet metal yeah only Texas and then for a little while B Berlin built the full structural battery pack um with the castings front and rear and and we when we went to this vehicle we went back to one like common body across the globe because we wanted to make sure that we had good interchangeability between each of our factories running supply chain issues and so this has a modified version of what was in the old model wise with the front end and the rear end is still cast and we actually redid the whole rear casting it's about 7 kilos lighter now it's got about half the Machining on it and uh you know we continue just to improve it there so you told me the last time that uh when I was looking at the cybertruck you said that um you have a new um cfd uh calculations and or let me we'll scrub this cfd um you have still computational fluid dynamics yeah but but I know but um we try and I I try not to use acronyms so you you've got fluid Dynamic uh program that helped you uh re redesigned the um the casting on the Cyber truck with looked like Rivers little Rivers yeah and um and it became lighter and I mean we're using that now here too but it's crazy for me I was just looking at the numbers with my team you know the original one piece casting from 2020 when we came out with this was like 67 kilos and now we're down just below 60 and it's crazy to think that we took out almost 15% of the mass and we increased the stiffness and we increased the you know the point Mobility locally and I mean that the other thing that's impressive is our cycle time went from like 180 170 seconds we're down about 75 seconds now so we can we do that through conformal cooling yeah right yeah the cooling was in the D yeah right yeah so I I've been talking to a bunch of die makers and whatnot and um um um especially the guys at coam and um I mean I'm totally Blown Away by what can happen when you use their kind of their kind of process the puzzle mold and whatnot and I wasn't yeah it was and um and then I trans I just got tired of working so I became an engineer but uh but at the end of the day um listening to them talk about how much more they can shoot using that I'm just wondering is that also because of the cooling I me you know we really had to upgrade on many of our dcms like sorry or diecast machines yeah yeah um the thermal units that control the cooling like when we first started had like four channels you know on this huge and we would have like six or eight of them lined up you know to get enough cooling channels to get into the big die and now we have thermal controllers that can you know have one for the entire die and it allows us to control you know within the fractions of a second how much water is going where to cool what part of the die and that means we can flow the material quicker through the die not necessarily like uh you know still a 10 millisecond 12 millisecond shot but we can cool it quicker as it gets in there and that solidification time really getting the whole thing to cool at once is what helps us with dimensional stability and you know keeping it getting it out of the mold faster the worst thing you can do is let that you know like the center of the core where the biscuit is just be hot and pull away heat shrink the whole thing in yeah correct so so like that kind of you know puzzle piece puzzle block molding technology you're talking about like that's really important for that cuz then you get high wear surfaces when you have all that Co you take thece put new for maintenance and that we actually now in to do all this we have a in Texas make our own inserts and like do our own maintenance and all that kind of stuff at the end of the day um it's not rocket science once you've got if they make the mold pulling out a section and putting another one in it's like not that big a deal so I'm uh like I've heard three to one I've actually heard from some of the other people who bought those things as high as like four almost four four to one so that that just blows my mind I guess we were at like 180 yeah we're like about 3 to one three to one your numbers are almost like public domain yeah I know stopwatch on us yeah well there's people that take pictures and um or or sit with a pocket watch in there in the factory on the tour whatever the tour yeah but you're you're still at like something like 43 45 seconds cycle time right for the for the whole car for the whole car yeah we're just below 43 like you know we as the final line runs a little faster than the the back end line because we don't want to get bottlenecked but yeah about 43 seconds Shang High you know they're they're running uh two lines for model y now and they run 13k in 140 hours they got to be below like closer to 35 seconds 35 seconds is amazingly quick you know yeah two lines coming out so it's yeah one every other but anyway oh that's cool so so the uh front casting is kind of like not there and not today we'll get it there and uh um so what else because I like I say I don't want to crawl underneath what else are we looking at here that's been changed one of the coolest things you guys will probably tear apart is the brake system so the brake system and the actuation system we went to like a hydraulic by wire system yeah so we still have the hydraulic brakes through all the corners but the actuation is all done with an electric motor at the booster side so so the brake pedal is connected to like a you know sensor that tict takes travel and that travel pushes into the motor now there is a hydraulic backup cuz we know go stop steer like go we you know if you lose that it's not so bad steering at least you can stop stop we wanted to be ultra cautious on this first effort and just make sure you keep it so you can push through you know the the the motor with a hydraulic bypass but what that allows us to do is two things that are really cool one is that means we get really consistent brake pedal Fu so we can put as much regen on the a pedal as you want and then if you know it's cold or if you're driving in low regen because you're just learning how to drive an EV we can put all that regen on the B pedal and get the same deceleration so we get all the energy back that gave us you know half a percent qu% more efficiency which is important um as we're getting down to the you know like fractions of a wat hour per mile and measurements of efficiency and the other thing is because we aren't relying on the hydraulic systems you know stiffness to get you brake pedal Fu because we're using it you know it's sort of I don't want to say the word but decoupled from that system with with the the electric motor at the booster we're able to actually pull the pads back you know a little further than we might nominally do so we get less friction yeah and then we can because our actuation is you know now through the motor we can quickly get them back up and you still get the bite really really fast but that the way that reacts to you as a driver at the pedal is completely controlled by us now in the mechanical State and has nothing to do with hydraulics so we get lower friction at the wheels faster reaction time and a really consistent brake pedal with more recuperative energy and that's pretty awesome because that's I think the first time anyone's done something that level people will say rivan has a decoupled system it's not exactly true um and we did it with in four you know we talked about Supply base but we had to do it in four different factories with two different suppliers and get it all done in in two years and now that means this hydraulic system is fully ready to be you know by wire for the future if you want to do that cool that one I really like I like it's you know you're not going to see it by looking at the car W it's something that's just underneath yeah at the end of the day the only way we get a chance to see what's underneath is buy one and tear it to pieces and U that gets expensive after a while yeah we also updated the heat pump a little bit you you'll find some you know fun new stuff in there um really yeah but we increased the LC the refrigerant cooling system so the lccr so to add a little bit more cooling capacity and then um depending on what model you get and when you might find some interesting stuff within the uh the heat exchanging unit itself the super manifold a super manifold yeah little upgrade we call it super manifold V2 it's coming wow it's factory by Factory kind of roll in implementation it's not in every car when we start but it'll be there in a year or so well it's on our list um they're not that easy to well actually um that may change a little bit here with you got protesters and stuff like that that'll take at least a month before these GS all die down and they find something else to occupy their mind but uh but it is on our tear down list I I want to I want to see what other things you've come up with yeah so um we're looking at um a bump in a road here a little bit uh with um with um electric buyers and stuff like that and um and the uh elimination of maybe a whole bunch of um tax breaks or something like that sure what are your predictions are what are your predictions on how this is going to affect Tesla well I mean for me I think frons and I like we we just try and make the best car we possibly can at the best value we can um you know I think a lot of people when look at buying a car they want to buy a car that's you know suits their needs it's comfortable it's stylish you know it's efficient it's fast it's fun to drive and we try to give you all of that so that you know when you're out in the market trying to buy a car you're buying it not just because it's electric just because it's the best car that you can buy and I think when you look at the incentives and things that various you know countries have really put in we can focus on the US and say okay we had it a few years ago they took it away they gave it back during the Biden Administration it's all well and good but we've been through that in other countries before and we just continue to grow our market share and I think one of the things I honestly I'm surprised you didn't mention it's also also striving to make the safest cars on the road and these are the safest cars on the road yeah exactly these are the safest cars and you know when if you're thinking about buying the first car for your kid or you know getting your your kids into you're transporting your kids around as a parent you want them you want to be in the safest possible vessel you can and you know team they do an amazing job on it's it's not like it's not part of an eeve thing it's just like trying to make all the engineering Solutions become the safest cars out there well and they are so and I mean you've got examples of guy drives off the edge of a cliff goes down who knows how many feet crashes upside down and everybody you know gets up oh that was exciting so you can design a car to pass you know be safe with all the you know the regulatory tests that you have to do but those supersede that right that's where the engineering supersedes just just checking the box to to pass the specific test you know yeah the roof Crush strength on these cars is through the roof literally but I mean it's you know I just had one yesterday you know that we got a you know X testimonial this truck full of oranges fell over on a Model 3 like the you know the HVAC compressor you know for the refrigerant like fell through the back seat and you know the trailer fell through the front and uh the First Responders got there cut the guy out and just walked away yeah it's like that kind of stuff when you read that you feel good inside and you're like okay we did the right thing right um but yeah super safe uh product here but we also um you know we did a couple of other things in safety you're talking about kids we've added parental controls inside the car so if you do have a kid and like when I got a car I always tell this story like I got my parents let me get the slowest car you know only could go 85 miles hour that's right yeah now you can set it to do that right so okay so first off let me thank uh Lars and France for um the wonderful uh interview that they just gave us um they also given us a car to uh to Tool around in a little bit uh so we're going to take it out spin it around a little bit um this is the worst California weather I think I've ever had I've never been in LA to for like this so um so anyway we're going to go out and drive around and stay tuned let's see what happens when we uh take it out on the road all right so Sandy First Impressions Uber quiet um it feels the I love the seat so it feels really comfortable as far as I'm concerned um um let me pop this up this is the way I normally would drive except I don't need to know what's going on in front of me I usually want to see what's going on in back these These are really clear um uh the this is a great view so it's it's unusual for me to see um like I almost never look out the side mirrors and it's um I also have a rearview mirror which I don't really have on the um on the Cyber truck so this is uh quite good um actually um Okay so there's more steering wheel here than what I'd have on the Cyber Tru as well because it's a it's conventional steering it's not like uh steer by wire um but the big thing is it's quiet I it is super duper quiet this is U I think this is almost as good as um almost as good as U um the Cyber truck which I think is the quietest vehicle on the planet I mean just I mean you can how does it handle it handles just like uh just like the um Sue Model S or the model 3 at work but it's different than um it's different than um the Cyber truck it's the Cyber truck is totally different different kind of a feel the big thing is holy mackerel is this is quiet they were talking about how they've changed the suspension and um stiffened it up and whatnot and this is really obvious how much of a difference there is and so I'm going to let this guy go first and now let's launch now okay this is uh not as fast as Sue not as fast as um as the Cyber truck it's um it's a little tamer uh but still P sporty enough for 99% of the people on the planet so what did you think there Eric I think it's very quiet yeah see if I was like that I'd already be at that guy's headlights with the Cyber truck this is uh this is fine though it's you don't have to have a rocket ship every time so yeah it feels smooth smooth it is smooth this is handling extraordinario it um like I said all Teslas BMW and Tesla they have the same feel it's it and it feels wonderful it it feels like a sports car um and that's where okay I see a guy with a big sign that's probably a school up here yeah I'm not launching anywhere around here how's the visibility in this for you visibility is fabulous I mean um this is much better visibility than what I would get with the Cyber truck um Sue's car is very Like the Model S has got a lot of visibility um very well it's as good as this for sure cyber truck's a little different because of those two a pillars that kind of get in the way of things somewhat hey boys and girls thanks for watching um and um Lars and France thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to drive your car and um I will probably be trying to talk my wife into maybe one of these so at the end of the day folks this was great I really appreciate the chance to have a look at this and the um and the the van and the uh the model 2 I call it the model 2 the Cyber taxi anyway stay tuned for more of Monroe live and hopefully it won't be raining next time or snowing or whatever the hell this is anyway so long thank you so much for watching by now [Music] [Music]
