12:35 – Love the info always provided. I’m across the street breaking my shop EV trucks, for R&D of course.
15:55 – Tesla Model Y best-selling car in the world for 2023!
22:10 – My local BP gas station which has a refinery next door is about to put in EV superchargers. It’s located in Oregon, Ohio on route 2.
29:35 – Just watched a road trip on YT in South Africa, power shedding daily everywhere, charging stations scarce
30:05 – COSTCO is also adding DCFC. They had the 1st EV2 paddle chargers but had removed them and had no charging for years.
31:50 – My favorite mode is a Siemens patented free rolling until you teach the brake pedal. That sets the vehicle into 50% regen. Holding the brake pedal gives 100% regen. Also roll down a hill start regen
32:35 – I like to drive really slow by the Costco gas lines that are 10 deep in my Model 3
33:20 – Too many reports of bad quality of Chinese EVs, even BYDs, and they exaggerate performance. If the Chinese want to avoid the 25.7% Trump tariff, just build a factory in Mexico, within NAFTA.
42:50 – I see so many Musk/Tesla hit pieces on a daily basis.
43:00 – Meyer grocery in the Midwest is a major play it & they have a charger deal w/ Tesla.
43:30 – The EU commission has started an investigation of the Chinese EV subsidies. If confirmed, EU will raise China EV tariffs from the 9% of today.
44:45 – Got my vin for cyber truck, !! Another 30 days to get delivery 😔
44:55 – World’s first Sodium-ion solar generators to debut at CES 2022, and it may kickstart a move away from Lithium With the world turning to electric vehicles and other battery-powered machines, a strong supply and demand gap is expected with lithium in the coming years. A new solar generator using sodium-ion batteries might just be the solution we need.
46:55 – So much for the free market
52:05 – Sprouts locally is getting supercharger. on Miller in Scottsdale and so Signal Butte/Southern in Mesa
52:25 – The cheap Chinese cars probably won’t pass the safety checks of western countries.
