01:17
Hello everyone, I'm Tom, this is Joy.
01:34
Welcome to the EV show on ludicrous feed.
01:37
Today is Wednesday the 24th of September 2025, almost there, end of the month.
01:45
Nice to see you all on the stream.
01:48
I'll just turn the music down just a little bit.
01:51
By the way, it was composed by our son Evan, so he actually composed that song.
01:56
That's why it's featured on every show, royalty free.
02:02
Thanks for joining us.
02:03
We missed last week because we'll explain shortly why we missed last week.
02:07
But let's welcome our regulars as always.
02:10
Say hello to Riz from The Driven and Carlo.
02:15
Hey Riz, how are you?
02:16
Hey Tom, Joy, going well.
02:19
It's good to be on.
02:20
We're off, but it wasn't off, so we'll talk about that soon.
02:24
It's never off as it is.
02:26
Gotta keep working.
02:28
Say hello to Roland as well, our regular special guest.
02:32
Hey Roland from Zapt AU YouTube channel, how are we?
02:36
Hey Tom, hey Joy, Riz, good evening everyone.
02:42
We missed you two weeks off, not one week off rather.
02:46
You clearly had more fun than I did.
02:52
Me, Joy, and Riz had a great time in Adelaide, so yeah, we'll talk about that in a second.
02:56
But you were missed Roland, don't worry.
02:58
We kind of thought about you during the hot laps on the track.
03:01
As you're flying around the corner.
03:03
Yeah, that's right.
03:06
The performance spec of the car, like the top spec of course.
03:11
That's the Roland spec.
03:14
The only one with mentioning that's right.
03:17
All right, let's say hello and thank you to our sponsors as always before we get started.
03:22
So thank you to Hun Cook.
03:24
They do EV tyres, driving emotion.
03:26
Thank you Hun Cook.
03:27
And also thank you to Carloop, to Riz and the team, Dada to empower Australia's
03:32
Thank you guys for sponsoring the channel.
03:35
And before we kick off, I just also wanted to mention the upcoming Sydney International EV
03:41
Motor Show coming up between the, let's have a look, the 31st of October and the
03:47
2nd of November, which is in about five weeks time in Sydney at the
03:52
International Convention Centre.
03:54
We've got a two for one offer at the moment.
03:57
So I think there are limits per day for number of tickets you can purchase.
04:00
So the link is in the video description below.
04:04
You want to attend the Sydney International EV Auto Show.
04:07
And also I should say, let's see, I've got a hot scoop on what to expect at the show.
04:13
So PR has told me that OEM's exhibiting.
04:16
So we've got Zika, obviously.
04:18
They'll be showing the X, the 009, the 007, the 001FR, the Kimi Raikkonen
04:22
Edition and the 7X, of course, the 7X will be there.
04:26
Polestar 2, 3 and 4 will be there.
04:28
The 5 won't be there, suddenly.
04:31
Xperia G6, G9 and P7.
04:34
And the Volvo ES90, EX90, EX40 and the ES30.
04:40
Surely that's EX30.
04:42
EX30 cross country will be there as well.
04:44
Smart hashtag one and three will be there.
04:47
And of course the Verizon short wheelbase and the short,
04:51
sorry, the long wheelbase fans will be there as well,
04:54
which joined our review recently on the channel.
04:57
Not just fans, they're supervans.
04:59
They are pretty cool actually.
05:00
So yeah, check that out, tickets in the,
05:03
links to the tickets in the video description below.
05:07
All right, so let's say hello to some of our regulars
05:10
who joined us nice and early.
05:11
You just want to say thank you to Jack
05:12
for being a new member.
05:14
Thank you to Murray for joining us.
05:19
Yeah, the weather's been pretty good
05:20
on the East Coast, I think, recently.
05:23
Hello Andrew from WA.
05:25
Hello Jim, nice to see you.
05:27
Hello Tiz, Tazzy Evie.
05:33
Hello, yes, we're all back after a week in hiatus.
05:36
Explaining why in a second.
05:37
Hello, Andrew, nice to see you.
05:39
Hello Sennacher Mansa.
05:40
It says good evening, Tom and Joy
05:41
and the rest of the crew, of course.
05:47
Hello Oz Tesla owners, nice to see you.
05:53
Alrighty, let's keep going.
05:57
Sorry, I just removed that comment.
06:00
So the reason why we were away last week
06:02
was because Riz, Joy and myself,
06:05
we were in Adelaide, aka Radelaide
06:08
to check out the Zika 7X off-road
06:12
Despite this photo showing otherwise,
06:14
this is not a Photoshopped head of Riz.
06:16
He was actually sitting behind me in the van.
06:19
Was it bus one Riz or bus two, I can't remember.
06:22
I can't remember either way.
06:24
I think the back seats there were very comfortable.
06:31
Yeah, we were sitting next to the driver and me and Joy.
06:33
I think the suspension was the best up the front.
06:35
Yeah, we were in first class.
06:38
Yes, Riz had our six, which is nice.
06:41
Yeah, so Zika 7X, good on the track,
06:44
good off-road, obviously not on real roads just yet.
06:47
So once we get that press car,
06:49
we'll give you our thoughts as well.
06:51
But signs are good.
06:52
I think it was pretty good.
06:53
Yeah, handle pretty well.
06:55
The hill descent control was pretty interesting actually.
06:57
It's a bit of trust exercise,
06:59
letting it just go down slowly down this muddy slope.
07:03
Which is pretty cool.
07:07
All right, so that was us.
07:09
And speaking of SUVs on the market,
07:13
check this out guys.
07:14
So X-Punk send us an email today.
07:15
I'm sure you guys got it too.
07:16
So you can now order an X-Punk G6,
07:19
previously $1,000 pre-order or order deposit.
07:24
It's pretty impressive, $99 for an order.
07:27
Riz clearly has a lot of stock at the moment.
07:29
They're giving them away.
07:31
That's like, I think everyone here.
07:36
The lowest I remember Tesla I was doing was $150 at one stage.
07:41
My understanding was more before that
07:44
and then it was $150 and ever since then it's gone up
07:47
and maybe it's sitting at $400 at the moment.
07:49
But yeah, so $99 deposit.
07:54
The lowest I've seen of ever any car.
08:00
Roland, are you going to say something?
08:02
No, I was just going to say,
08:04
to get that, what a deal.
08:06
$99 just to lock it in.
08:08
Oh, you might as well, right?
08:10
Get yourself a car.
08:13
Might get it delivered tomorrow, Amazon store.
08:18
They're flying cars to bring it.
08:21
They'll drop it off as a crate.
08:24
Which company did that?
08:25
Was it Leap Motor with the flying car?
08:27
Oh yeah, that's right.
08:29
It was Leap Motor for that stunt.
08:32
Yeah, we helped Leap Motor get like 2,000%
08:35
increase in subscriber numbers that day.
08:39
Jeanette says the Slate EV has a $50 deposit.
08:42
What's the Slate EV?
08:43
I've not heard of that before.
08:45
Oh, I think that's the one in the US,
08:48
which was like a ute of some sort.
08:55
I'm looking at it now.
08:56
Yeah, it looks like apparently it's a customizable ute.
09:00
All right, let's have a look.
09:01
There you go, the Slate EV.
09:04
Yeah, I don't think this will ever really go into production.
09:07
It was really cheap as a starting price,
09:10
but then by the time you add things to it,
09:12
you can customize a lot of things.
09:15
But yeah, I don't know if it will ever happen.
09:18
I don't know if people will ever buy one.
09:20
This one looks like a Temu Hyundai Santa Fe.
09:25
Yeah, well the Santa Fe is already a Temu Defender.
09:28
This is like a Temu Santa Fe.
09:32
Do you move a Temu?
09:34
I think my ads say Temu.
09:38
Cal says Slate is owned by Jeff Bezos.
09:41
That's probably why this says Bezos Pact.
09:44
Oh, sparring says I saw a truck full of IM6
09:48
living in the Port of Melbourne yesterday.
09:53
Okay, so I wanted to take the opportunity today
09:56
to actually thank our viewers who have submitted entries
10:00
for the Tesla Charger giveaway.
10:03
We've got five of these to give away.
10:05
So the competition has closed.
10:07
So thank you for your entries.
10:08
We've got about 25 to 30 really good entries.
10:10
So it's really hard to choose actually.
10:12
So we're going to announce the winners
10:14
throughout the show today.
10:15
So the first winner I'm going to announce right now
10:18
and that is who sent this in.
10:21
So this was sent in by,
10:25
I believe this was sent in by Edmund from WA.
10:28
So let me put this picture up.
10:29
So Edmund from WA sent some pictures
10:32
of some Tesla Chargers in WA.
10:35
I believe this picture is from,
10:38
I'm going to pronounce this from Kojanup,
10:40
K-O-J-O-N-U-P, Kojanup.
10:45
So yes, just wanted to say thanks Edmund
10:50
for sending these pictures in
10:51
and you're our first winner today.
10:52
So you are a winner of a mobile, universal mobile,
10:57
universal mobile connector.
11:01
So you're the first winner today.
11:02
So we will reach out to you very shortly
11:04
with how to claim your prize.
11:07
Here's another picture.
11:09
Yeah, he sent some great pictures in.
11:10
So this has been Margaret River.
11:12
Looks like a lot of the Chargers in WA at the moment
11:14
are still either V2 or V3s.
11:16
I don't think there's a V4 just yet.
11:19
So yeah, some great pics there
11:21
and this is another Charger.
11:23
This is like very, very Aussie,
11:25
very outback looking.
11:28
Williams Supercharger.
11:30
You definitely need to do the spider check for that one.
11:36
You are our first winner.
11:37
So much appreciated.
11:40
And he says not many Superchargers at the moment
11:41
as compared to other states,
11:42
considering how vast WA is.
11:47
Gents Busselton is opening very soon, I think,
11:49
which will be V3 as well.
11:52
Gaffer says rare sight Superchargers in WA.
12:01
We'll reach out to you very shortly.
12:04
Next pic I want to share is this one.
12:05
So this is the Starray EMI that was launched this week.
12:10
Was it this week or last week?
12:12
Last week, I think, yeah.
12:15
So apologies to Geely.
12:17
We were invited to attend the event,
12:19
but we had to go to Zika to attend that event.
12:22
Same parent company.
12:28
So Geely Starray EMI is a plug-in hybrid.
12:31
So they're asking what is it?
12:33
The price is two variants.
12:37
$37,490 for the complete.
12:40
And then $39,990 for the Inspire,
12:43
which I think Jens is the same as the two variants for the EX5,
12:50
I mean, that's a pretty good deal.
12:51
$37,490 starting out.
12:54
Their pricing is very sharp.
12:57
Undercuts the EX5, for sure.
13:01
So I think we've got one on loan in the next few weeks.
13:04
So stay tuned for that.
13:06
Yeah, it comes with, at the moment,
13:08
until is it borders placed by 30th November,
13:11
3.88% comparison rates,
13:13
or three years comp schedule servicing,
13:16
mode two, type two home charging cable,
13:18
and complimentary premium paint.
13:20
Premium paint's always good.
13:25
And this is a picture of the first delivery in Australia.
13:28
This family here, this very smiley family.
13:30
That's great guys, isn't it?
13:31
Like seeing a brand come straight in,
13:33
deliver straight off the bat very quick.
13:35
I like seeing that, honestly.
13:38
It's just like China, where they announce it,
13:41
and then a week later they're delivering it.
13:46
Hey, I'm all for China time.
13:49
Just get the cars out.
13:51
I think the worth noting with this,
13:53
like that sort of a delivery schedule
13:56
is that what would it do for the legacy brands?
14:00
Because we've seen friends that walks back
14:04
and took years to bring the ID4 and ID5 into the market.
14:08
So yeah, I mean, it's quite interesting to see.
14:16
I mean, look, if that's the new normal,
14:18
You know, they've got to compete, right?
14:19
And they've got to have inventory of parts as well.
14:22
You know, cars, no matter who they are,
14:24
they'll be involved in the crash eventually,
14:25
or not eventually, but some people get involved in the crash.
14:28
Repairs need to be done.
14:30
So that all certainly inspire confidence.
14:33
Someone asked, is it my birthday today?
14:35
No, it's not my birthday.
14:39
It feels like my birthday every day, honestly.
14:41
I live a pretty good life.
14:43
But no, it's not today.
14:45
Well, usually if it's your birthday,
14:47
you receive gifts, but Tom's giving gifts away today.
14:53
Someone else's birthday.
14:57
I will look after you guys.
14:59
Um, someone asked, what do you think about Porsche going back to
15:02
combustion cars after its EV sales have fallen off a cliff?
15:14
Look, I think maybe that's the only sort of vehicles that
15:20
there, I mean, they were pretty early to the Taycan and
15:23
the new Taycan and the and the McCann haven't really been as
15:28
much of a hit as they expected.
15:30
There's a Cayenne in the works and electric Cayenne.
15:34
Um, but yeah, it appears that they were selling really well
15:38
in China, but now the Chinese consumers are happier with
15:43
their performance and sportier products that cost half
15:46
or a third the price of a Porsche.
15:48
Um, so this might be the only option for, you know, Porsche
15:53
as a brand, but I mean that, you know, regardless of our
15:58
love for EVs, they do make good sports cars.
16:02
And VW is the ones that we've tested drive pretty well.
16:05
Not just the VW ID45, but also the, the Cooper Taviscan
16:09
and, you know, once hopefully Porsche will lend us
16:11
the car eventually, but how wouldn't I test in the McCann
16:14
on the roads as well?
16:15
Um, and across Turismo.
16:18
Just got to send them a video of your Rolls Royce experience
16:21
and say, look, we've hit the spirit of ecstasy.
16:26
So the least Porsche can do is deliver a McCann GT.
16:33
I'd be very happy to test it.
16:36
Uh, I just think, let's be honest, I just need to
16:39
improve their software, right?
16:40
VW just a few generations behind the moment.
16:43
We keep hearing the Rivian software is coming to VW.
16:45
So sooner the better, I think.
16:47
And access just make it good.
16:53
Connectivity is important too.
16:56
The one who knows the Zika 007 GT.
16:59
I'm getting excited just reading that.
17:01
We'll be at the EV Auto Show to be trialled
17:03
for interest levels in Australia.
17:05
Have we heard that, Riz?
17:09
Might have to visit car parks.
17:11
Give my runners on.
17:13
And, you know, look underneath each one of the car covers.
17:16
What's under there?
17:17
But yeah, I mean, it won't be hard to tell because
17:20
it should look like a station wagon.
17:22
Loose lung station wagon.
17:25
Just wipe the drool off the bonnet.
17:27
But yeah, Riz is still looking for a shoe sponsor.
17:29
Assix, Brooks, Adidas, Mikey, anyone.
17:35
Yeah, Andrew, I agree.
17:37
Gotta get connected.
17:38
That's the problem with VW at the moment.
17:39
All the VW IDs that we've tested.
17:48
Let's discuss this one.
17:50
So this is really impressive.
17:51
So we know FSD Supervised was launched last week
17:55
to some lucky H Hardware 4 owners in Australia.
17:59
And the videos and the content have propagated
18:02
across the internet, which is great.
18:04
This one is, I think this one stands out for me.
18:06
So this is Howard Murphy, who is known for driving
18:08
around our beautiful, vast continent.
18:10
And he's done it now in a Tesla Model Y with FSD
18:16
That's sensational.
18:17
13,000 kilometers in a Model Y in September.
18:20
So this month, that's, guys, that's just phenomenal.
18:23
Honestly, I don't even want it.
18:26
Let alone driving this car, driving a car.
18:29
Let alone FSD for that many days.
18:35
And the efficiency is 169 watt-hours per case.
18:38
That is phenomenal.
18:39
That's very efficient.
18:40
What's that in the numbers that I understand?
18:43
16.9 kilowatt-hours per 100 Ks, essentially.
18:47
Considering that they're going at high speeds
18:49
for a lot of it, isn't it?
18:51
Now, I see these numbers coming down.
18:53
I remember when he first did it.
18:54
It was like 20 or 30 days now.
18:57
It's obviously with more DC charges than WA.
18:59
That's certainly helped a lot, right?
19:02
The last time I ran with Harold, he was in Tassie
19:07
That was at the AVA conference last year in November.
19:13
He did that lap with the caravan.
19:16
Obviously, I think he's done maybe one in between
19:19
that one and this one.
19:22
I think he mentioned in one of his posts
19:24
that over 99.9% of the journey was done with FSD.
19:31
There were obviously occasional interventions
19:35
when he will have to overtake a big truck
19:41
But yeah, pretty impressive that this clearly
19:44
no other car with FSD has been around some parts
19:47
where Harold's been around now.
19:49
So yeah, very impressive.
19:54
Great second navigation.
19:56
It must be some sort of Guinness World Record
19:58
driving around a continent on self-drive,
20:00
shortly, to nominate him.
20:03
Gaffer says he's been putting up
20:05
online superspeed versions of some parts,
20:07
like the nullable in nine minutes.
20:11
On 100 speed or something.
20:13
Tasmania always does miss out.
20:16
Tasmania missed out on FSD Australia.
20:21
Yeah, I agree, Matthew.
20:23
Charging schedule would have been interesting, for sure.
20:27
Andrew says he's done it in 10 days, apparently.
20:31
John says just back on the VW and Rivian,
20:33
I've seen a rumor that Rivian software
20:35
and VW is on pause as VW hadn't realised
20:37
that software wouldn't work on their ice car range.
20:49
Yeah, we'll keep an eye on that, obviously,
20:52
They need something,
20:53
they need an approval on their software, definitely.
20:56
I think they've just all been caught
20:58
by the fact that all the EV brands are doing
21:01
this turnover cycle so much faster now
21:04
and they're just caught behind.
21:07
I mean, the expectation of 2025 is OTA.
21:09
Like, seriously, you buy a new car,
21:12
You kind of expect OTA, right?
21:15
If not, then at least an upgrade of the dealership.
21:17
That's like bare minimum for free.
21:19
So anyway, that's just my thoughts.
21:22
Well, actually, just on VW Group quickly,
21:24
I don't know if people notice
21:27
they quietly announced some price drops
21:30
or new variants for Skoda,
21:35
where I think the Alrock starts at $47,990 now
21:39
and Enniak starts at $50,990.
21:42
Well, I'm hoping the bar goes over now,
21:45
but yeah, apparently that's the case.
21:48
So they're pricing it pretty aggressively
21:54
That's pretty good.
21:57
Yeah, I mean, that's worth considering.
22:00
Oh, no, I've driven the Enniak.
22:02
The Enniak, I've driven that once.
22:04
I assume the Alrock's pretty similar,
22:06
You've driven that, haven't you?
22:07
No, I haven't had a chance to.
22:09
They listen to this and they're like,
22:11
well, hang on, you know,
22:13
Ruth doesn't always have nice things to say about VW cars.
22:16
So if you're listening, I will say nice things,
22:21
We'll say nice things if you give us a car.
22:23
No, that's not true.
22:24
We'll say what we think.
22:26
Gotta be honest with our viewers here.
22:27
That's all we're about.
22:28
The pricing I thought for the Alrock was far too high previously.
22:30
It was getting close to like 60 grand.
22:32
So under 50 is good.
22:34
Enniak around 50 is good.
22:36
Just need to, you know,
22:38
hopefully they can bring the VW badge products
22:41
around that pricing as well.
22:45
Yeah, pricing, software,
22:47
yeah, all that stuff.
22:48
It's just got to compete with the Chinese at the moment.
22:50
Even Tesla, I guess.
22:53
Speaking of, let's quickly just do a round of the new charges
22:57
that we're seeing around the country.
22:59
So this is Kulak, which I believe is Gundagai.
23:07
Let me just double check that before I make a full myself.
23:11
I think that's New Gundai.
23:17
In Gundagai, it says.
23:23
Back me up in the comments.
23:24
It's good because Gundagai is a bit of a,
23:26
what's the word, watershed at the moment, right?
23:29
all of us is where there's a few Tesla charges at the back,
23:32
which are Tesla only,
23:33
and then like some ChargeFox ones that are a bit sketchy
23:37
at the best of times.
23:38
So 12 open to all chargers,
23:40
open to all EVs will be good.
23:42
This will be very welcome in that watershed area.
23:50
And then Richard tells us there is one coming in East Lakes
23:56
It's on the south side.
23:58
So V4 superchargers under construction.
24:05
I could drive by photos.
24:07
Like eight chargers, right?
24:12
So that's getting close.
24:13
William says Waterloo open today.
24:20
I'm not sure if it's open to all though.
24:22
Didn't mention that.
24:24
Let's double check that.
24:25
Someone has to get a bustle in for us.
24:32
The Oliver supercharger is very average.
24:33
Nice to see Tesla build a V4 local replacement.
24:50
And that's going to tell you what the performance does for
24:52
V4 local replacement.
24:53
100% Tesla's actually made just a quick note for our viewers
24:58
Tesla's made an improvement to their supercharger page where
25:02
you can if you click on the site.
25:03
So let's say that link there that should open Tesla's
25:08
And that site will actually tell you if it's all that page
25:11
will tell you if it's open to non Teslas or not.
25:14
As well as the pricing for Tesla drivers and non Tesla
25:17
Well, let's have a look.
25:19
I'll share that tab.
25:21
This Tesla charger is open to Tesla and other EVs.
25:29
And the 73 for non-EVs and non-Tesla EVs.
25:32
It's not bad at all.
25:37
And Roland, this one's for you.
25:38
So this one's official.
25:40
This is from a week ago.
25:42
The hills are alive.
25:44
Not much love though.
25:45
They only got four stalls.
25:46
You know, every time I drive past, I check it and it's full.
25:49
Roland, you guys live in like huge mansions, okay?
25:54
Like with your eight car garages, quarter acre blocks,
25:57
two acre blocks, you know, come on.
25:59
You're thinking about Northern New South.
26:02
Those bigger houses.
26:03
I've driven around the hills.
26:09
But in all seriousness, I think they've done well in terms of
26:13
the location of the specific placement of the superchargers
26:17
because in this photo, if you look at the fourth one on the right,
26:20
that's perfect for the likes of your Porsche Taycan
26:25
and your Audi RS E-Cons and your Kia EV3s and 5s.
26:29
They can just drive straight in.
26:31
So I think it's actually quite good.
26:34
And the fries and super van,
26:36
which has a charge port on the front right.
26:43
That's what you had problem when you were just in there.
26:45
Well, I drove straight in.
26:47
You almost drive two.
26:49
You can wrap that cable around the car a few times, I think.
26:56
Good to see so many in Sydney around Australia too.
26:59
So speaking of, let's announce the winner of our second Tesla charger.
27:03
So this is going to go to Justin.
27:08
Justin is the winner of our second Tesla product.
27:12
Let's put his picture up on the screen right now.
27:14
So Justin is actually one of our regular members and viewers.
27:18
He often posts and makes very insightful comments.
27:22
But this is his BYD C-Line 7.
27:25
Great number plate, by the way.
27:29
And his entry was because he doesn't have a home charger
27:33
and he will have to take up two spots
27:36
because in his local area, which I think is the Gold Coast,
27:39
the cables aren't long enough.
27:41
So he has to park on the other side of the charger,
27:44
which means he's taking up two spots unnecessarily, right?
27:47
So I thought that's a pretty good reason
27:49
why we should give him a charger.
27:52
Well, Justin, if that's, I think that's runaway bay.
27:55
You know, Riz's old stomping ground before East Turac.
28:00
And having charged a non-Tesla there before,
28:03
it usually used to be pretty quiet last year,
28:06
but I think it will pick up with the number of EVs on the Gold Coast.
28:10
And obviously Justin there's representing himself with the C-Line 7.
28:15
So he says, Justin says,
28:17
I would, well, thank you for running your channel and live feeds.
28:20
Always informative.
28:21
I'd like to run and be in the running to try and win a war connector
28:24
as will greatly benefit me as I don't have to wake up then
28:26
in the wee hours of the morning through to 4 a.m.
28:28
to my local Tesla supercharger to charge my BYD C-Line 7.
28:32
Also, this will benefit everyone else as I don't have to take up
28:34
two charging spots.
28:37
One for Justin and a win for Australia as well.
28:39
So I thought that's, it's worth one.
28:41
And we want to reduce the risk of charger rage
28:43
because some people may not understand why the car is,
28:46
you know, parked that way.
28:48
And then you just, it like leads to conflict
28:51
because someone's going to come up and start an argument.
28:53
So if we can try and prevent charger rage,
28:56
we're all for that.
29:00
Congratulations, Justin.
29:01
We will reach out to you with how to claim your prize.
29:04
So thanks for sending in your entry.
29:07
Let's take some comments.
29:11
Oh, here's Josh says, thank you, Tom.
29:13
You are a big influence of me buying a Y with FSD.
29:16
Hope you're enjoying that.
29:17
Join testing that around your area.
29:23
I'll see you got ahead going ahead with bringing charges
29:27
Well, they did promise in those.
29:28
So how's that going?
29:32
X-Pang said it too.
29:35
It's in the planning stages.
29:40
That'll, that'll like, that'll go a long way to
29:43
provide confidence as well that the brand is here to stay
29:45
if you're investing in charging infrastructure in Australia.
29:49
So now we know after the event last weekend in Adelaide
29:53
that they have over 2000 pre-orders for the 7X.
29:57
Huge amount of interest.
29:58
I think that's going to drive sales for the other products as well.
30:01
So, you know, this, this could really be something that's being
30:06
worked on as we speak.
30:08
But as you say, more brands that can do that, the better it
30:11
would be B-Y-D is going to the UK and Europe next year and
30:16
taking their megawatt charging originally for denser vehicles
30:21
and then eventually to others as well.
30:24
But the plans are sort of being put in place now.
30:28
I don't mind this suggestion actually from S-Padeval.
30:31
They should all buy superchargers from SC, from Tesla
30:34
and then white label it.
30:36
Like it's a reliable charger.
30:37
Like as, I think BP Pulse have done that to slap their logo on it.
30:42
Just choose the best.
30:45
So if it says X-Peng has just rolled out with charge plus
30:49
in three countries, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
30:52
We should go check that out.
30:54
I mean, the event that we went to in Hong Kong,
30:55
they actually said Australia their quarter.
31:00
It was on the slides.
31:01
It was on the slide.
31:08
They've got October, November, December.
31:11
Well, they're starting out by giving $99 deposits on X-Peng G6s.
31:15
If they sell enough of those, then I think.
31:20
Next quarter is next week, so.
31:25
And, you know, like great to see so many Tesla superchargers,
31:29
but as we know, 800 Volca, it's like the Zika 7X,
31:32
like the X-Peng G6.
31:33
They'll be throttled, right, at these charges.
31:35
So to really experience that full 400 and what is it,
31:39
450 kilowatts for the golden brick battery.
31:41
We need those fast charges.
31:43
They've got a great location at the airport, right?
31:45
And imagine if they put like a whole bunch of charges there
31:51
Yeah, near the airport.
31:52
And all the AVs can go and charge it.
31:55
That'd be great advertising.
31:57
So what did you say?
31:58
So yesterday, news came about that the first,
32:04
what would you call it, next generation V4 cabinet superchargers
32:09
is under construction, the first site in California.
32:13
So these are the ones that are rated up to 500 kilowatts
32:16
that have the voltage range between 400 Volts and 1,000 Volts.
32:20
So that is starting to happen.
32:23
I'm assuming in the next couple of,
32:25
given how quickly it has the superchargers come online,
32:27
next couple of weeks, we will find out if that's happening,
32:30
then that may be the standard for future V4 sites,
32:33
including hopefully ours in Australia by early next year.
32:39
And Tazzy Evie says, sorry, Tom,
32:42
disagree, electronics and chem power just as,
32:44
if not more reliable.
32:45
Look, whatever's reliable, white label it,
32:48
outsource it, slap your badge on it.
32:51
Surely that's a better way than trying to bring out
32:53
a thousand different brands that have questionable reliability.
32:57
Just choose the best.
32:59
I think part of it is the deployment piece.
33:01
And we've seen that over the last couple of years,
33:04
we've gone from prefabricated charges from Tesla.
33:08
We've gone to integrated systems that are just so easy
33:13
to roll out at chopping centers.
33:15
A lot of the times people capture those superchargers,
33:18
you know, up and under construction,
33:21
a week later it's up and running.
33:23
So, you know, those installation mechanisms,
33:27
as well as I guess the hardware and reliability
33:31
and the cost and scale.
33:33
But yeah, all reliable hardware is good hardware.
33:36
And look, those in the know will know
33:38
it's not just a matter of slapping a charger.
33:40
There's a lot of pre planning that goes on, right?
33:42
Council approval, good connections.
33:44
So on and so forth, DA, all that stuff.
33:47
It takes years of planning and this is the fruit
33:49
of what we're seeing, all the pre planning that Tesla
33:51
or other early adopters have shown.
33:53
We're seeing the fruit of that right now, which is good.
33:58
Okay, let's take a quick break and let's take our sponsors.
34:01
That's not our sponsor, that's Justin Scott.
34:04
But this is our sponsors.
34:06
Thank you, Han Cook for providing EV tyres,
34:09
driving emotion, ion range,
34:11
and also thank you to Carl Lipp as well,
34:13
harder to empower Australia's EV revolution.
34:15
Thank you to Riz and Tim.
34:17
Okay, yes, firing, I agree.
34:20
Too many new petrol stations being built without charging provisions.
34:23
Yeah, should be required.
34:24
Imagine that if we regulated that,
34:26
that new petrol stations need to have EV charges.
34:28
That would be quite handy.
34:32
All right, so spotted around Sydney.
34:34
This is I think courtesy of,
34:36
I think this was Care Bears who spotted
34:42
around North Sydney.
34:44
Here we go, in camo.
34:47
Oh joy, this is not available in camo, this car.
34:50
I know you've asked for that before.
34:55
Is this the one that's front wheel drive?
34:59
There it is pulling out with a couple of engineers in the front.
35:03
It looks like one of those magic eye pages
35:07
from back in the day.
35:08
Can you see anything?
35:10
If you squint at it and look at it for long enough
35:13
and then you'll see like a hidden picture.
35:16
Hidden 300 picture.
35:19
What do you guys think of the car?
35:28
It looks less aggressive from what I've seen
35:31
of pics of this from overseas.
35:33
You know the MG4 looks quite aggressive, right?
35:36
It's quite sporty, quite tiger face looking.
35:38
This is quite bubbly now.
35:40
It's gone sort of softer, softer.
35:43
And as you were saying, I think last week or two weeks ago,
35:46
these will be sold side by side, right?
35:48
The rear wheel drive MG4.
35:50
That's what the press release said
35:51
and I was a bit confused about that.
35:53
What I would love is for this car to be
35:56
in an all wheel drive performance edition
36:00
given it looks so subtle, like a sleeper.
36:05
Nobody would ever know.
36:07
And then you know, you're winning every traffic light
36:11
Grand Prix without people even...
36:14
It should be in camera wraps too.
36:16
Nobody would even know what it is.
36:18
It's gone too fast.
36:20
It would just be a blur, just a black and white blur.
36:25
People are trying to see stuff in the camera.
36:27
It's just a joke, guys.
36:32
Yeah, glad they're keeping both styles.
36:35
It says it's only Dale.
36:37
Looks like a traditional hatch
36:39
and that's actually a good thing.
36:41
I think it's selling well in China.
36:43
They've had, I think, over 10,000 orders
36:46
and customer deliveries are already started as well.
36:51
then this car should be available to customers.
36:54
Hopefully at a similar price to the MG4,
36:58
which is now about 40...
37:04
I'm expecting this to be closer to the early 30,000s.
37:10
It does hopefully have the newer infotainment system
37:12
and some of the things that
37:14
were sort of identified as could be improved on the MG4.
37:22
Sorry, out of two approved today for Australia.
37:31
New MG4's early front-wheel drive,
37:33
tuba plastics and fit out, nice internal design.
37:35
Will Boyce just dropped an English review from China.
37:38
Cool. Let's go check those out later.
37:43
Now let's announce the winner of our third Tesla product.
37:48
Once I get the pickup, here we go.
37:52
Let me just get the right email up as well.
37:55
By the way, thanks for all the entries, everyone.
37:58
Really appreciate it.
38:00
So this is our third winner for tonight.
38:03
This is Matthew's picture.
38:07
I think Matthew's actually chatting tonight
38:09
so I can see his name there. Here we go.
38:11
So we've given this to Matthew.
38:13
He's got a great story.
38:15
This is him taking delivery in May this year
38:17
of the Tesla Model Y from Tesla Moll Grave.
38:19
I'm sure he recognizes this warehouse.
38:22
I spend a lot of time in that warehouse.
38:25
He's still there right now, actually.
38:29
Matthew, you won't mind me sharing that.
38:31
He's a 36-year-old technical lead,
38:33
recent view of Ludacris Feed.
38:35
Thank you and yeah, make the first purchase this year.
38:39
And he would like a mobile charger
38:41
to visit his relatives in regional Victoria.
38:45
I think that's a great reason to have a mobile charger
38:47
so he can charge when he's over there.
38:49
So that's good. Thank you, Matthew, for that.
38:52
And he's particularly interested in the FSD Supervised Rollout
38:55
in Australia as well.
38:56
So yeah, thank you for watching our channel.
38:59
That's much appreciated.
39:00
He says, I particularly enjoy the Wednesday evening
39:02
live shows with Riz, Roland, and yourself.
39:05
And yet to work out how Riz and Bonzo are related.
39:09
I'm sense there's some backstory to that running piece.
39:13
Maybe we can explain briefly if we have time.
39:19
We're still in a, I'm still in a court case with them.
39:22
So I can't say too much.
39:24
It's got an NDA running.
39:25
So we'll do a one-hour live stream on Bonzo and Riz one day.
39:31
So Matthew, congratulations.
39:32
We'll reach out to you with details on how to claim your prize.
39:35
Thanks for entering.
39:37
So we've given away two mobiles and one wall.
39:40
So we've got one wall and one mobile left in that giveaway set.
39:46
So let's talk about our next thing.
39:48
And this, this, Roland, you might enjoy this.
39:51
This is top spec and it's very topist.
39:54
Is that a word? Topist?
39:57
My ears are pipped up.
39:59
Shout out to Daniel, who we spent some time in Adelaide with.
40:02
Daniel Romero from, from Road Trip Reviews YouTube channel.
40:06
And this is his post saying the fastest car on the planet,
40:14
That is an insane speech.
40:17
I'm going to go that.
40:18
I mean, except for Roland, 496.22 kph.
40:22
I've got no guts to do that.
40:25
Like you're going to need lots of training for that.
40:30
You don't need training.
40:32
Just get someone to drive it.
40:38
Even I'd be worried.
40:40
So we enjoy hitting 190 on the straight at Talon Bend.
40:43
I hit 205 or something.
40:45
I was worried already going that quick.
40:47
I mean, imagine doing double almost two and a half times that speed on a straight.
40:52
I was, I was so chicken.
40:54
I didn't want to go fast because I could also smell how badly the brakes were already burning from other people.
41:01
And I was just like, no.
41:04
I'll just, I'll just, you know, take off the accelerator before I have to slam on the brakes.
41:13
One of the instructors said, I don't know why we're doing this.
41:15
These aren't drag cars.
41:16
These aren't racing cars.
41:18
Racing on Talon Bend in these Zika 7Xs.
41:22
Anyway, it was fun regardless.
41:25
Probably more fun because it wasn't my car or my tyres.
41:27
That's what you kept saying.
41:28
You're like, I'm happy to drive this off road because it's not my car.
41:33
So for this, Roland needs to go 500 kph just to break that record.
41:37
What do I can Roland?
41:39
Sydney Motor Sport Park.
41:41
The fastest I hit was 209 in the Model Y.
41:49
And then I lifted off stock tyres, stock standard and then kind of lift up and because it's such a high car,
41:56
you kind of do the little wobble and you're like, am I going to bend it?
42:00
So just put it down and keep going.
42:04
It's a great feeling actually.
42:08
Tazza EV says apparently an F1 driver did it.
42:11
Okay, I wonder which one.
42:12
Must be a former F1 driver surely.
42:14
Or one on the grid at the moment.
42:16
Either way, what Bragging writes honestly, like all of the top-end hypercars that have been going at it for years
42:24
and just like that Chinese brand that was unknown a few years ago has now taken it.
42:30
So those who don't know, the young one Unite is the one that dances.
42:34
It can actually jump, do a little jump.
42:37
It can drive on three wheels.
42:40
I love this all on my BYD trip.
42:43
And it can go on, I think in the water for about 20 minutes or something in submarine mode,
42:48
something like that.
42:49
They wouldn't let us test it in the water.
42:51
So you can drive through flood waters.
42:53
I mean, you probably still shouldn't because there's other dangers and electrical,
42:57
you know, please don't drive through flood waters.
42:59
You can drive out of flood waters quickly, 496K.
43:02
And it can be struck by lightning can be fine as well, as we sure saw a few weeks ago.
43:08
So that's young one.
43:11
Just sharing more BYD news.
43:13
So thank you, Jason.
43:14
New UI rolling out for BYD seal upgrade to 5.0.
43:18
So it looks a bit better now, which is good.
43:20
It's always been my complaint of a BYD infotainment system,
43:23
but yeah, it's time to look a bit more like the rest of them.
43:26
So that's a good thing.
43:31
So this is interesting.
43:32
So that my friends from infpower shared this with me.
43:35
So this was a screenshot from a video that he sent me showing the BYD.
43:41
I think it was Ato3 or seal.
43:43
I can't remember which one.
43:44
The newer ones that are Tesla compatible.
43:46
He could only get export at maximum three kilowatts or 3.3 kilowatts B2G or B2X.
43:54
So, and that's with the DC connector.
43:56
So that worries me a little bit.
43:58
You know, BYD want to progress with B2G that it's being throttled at 3.3.
44:03
You kind of want a bit more than that, not just for B2G,
44:07
Like you want the car to be more useful than just providing 3.3 kilowatts.
44:12
So yeah, just a bit of a PSA for everyone.
44:15
Just be careful if that's what you're buying a BYD for.
44:20
And that's a summary of what's happened.
44:23
Yeah, obviously we need more testing as with all good scientific papers.
44:27
We need more testing to be sure.
44:30
But yeah, early data suggests that's an issue.
44:34
And also Jason posts this.
44:36
This is a post from Facebook.
44:38
It looks like SIG Energy.
44:39
I recognize the app here.
44:40
SIG is saying that they've discontinued support or BYD has discontinued
44:46
support for B2X functionality.
44:49
And that was from how many days ago?
44:56
So that's interesting.
44:57
So a bit of a mixed messaging there at the moment for BYD.
45:02
So just on that then, like last couple of days we've seen a couple of new stories.
45:07
One being I think Origins got some B2G trial things starting with the BYD Atto.
45:15
And then there was another one with Zika and a couple of others with AGL,
45:22
I believe, some trials starting.
45:25
It's quite interesting how there's differing stories from different operators
45:30
on what's really going on.
45:32
So I guess interesting space to keep an eye out on.
45:39
I mean, as Tony says, it's still early days, but we still need to flag these issues early on.
45:44
So hopefully BYD can sort it out.
45:50
My coot says that's a problem because that's probably because that was the only reason
45:55
why I was interested in SIG.
45:57
So I think probably need to do more research on this, but this is one post that we saw.
46:02
Is it that BYD doesn't want to interface with SIG energy
46:05
or more that BYD doesn't want to interface with any B2?
46:10
Well, that's two now.
46:11
Got SIG and also the InfiPower having issues with BYD.
46:15
So I don't know what it was.
46:18
I mean, I've did the Tesla Melbourne with the pre, like an older seal before the Tesla upgrade
46:23
and it seemed to work OK.
46:25
It was drawing like five or six kilowatts.
46:27
So something has obviously happened since then with the harness
46:32
or with an upgrade for Tesla compatibility that sort of throttled it.
46:44
We've now, so I've got two more winners to announce for our giveaways.
46:49
So this is, let me pull the email up real quick, everyone.
46:55
So Max, congratulations.
46:56
You are our next winner.
46:58
This is a picture of Max with his SIG energy battery in, where is he?
47:03
He's in northern New South Wales, I think from memory.
47:06
And yeah, he sent a great email saying that he's a healthcare worker
47:10
along with his partner, young son.
47:13
And yeah, they're just hardworking Australians
47:18
and they've been very interested in going sustainable as much as possible.
47:22
Battery, solar, EVs, all that stuff.
47:25
They've done all the good stuff, all the right things.
47:27
Love the channel, of course.
47:29
Really appreciate it.
47:30
And they're just looking for a wall connector as the final piece of the puzzle.
47:34
So yeah, I think that's why we chose Max and family.
47:40
It's a great picture of his solar.
47:42
Nice beautiful home in New South Wales.
47:47
And this is his Tesla Model Y.
47:49
Yeah, there you go.
47:52
I assume that's a mobile connector, charging.
47:55
But a wall connector would be handy to take advantage of the solar they've got.
47:58
So yeah, thank you, Max, for entering a new other winner of a Tesla wall connector.
48:04
So congratulations.
48:06
We'll contact you to send that out to you very soon.
48:14
Yeah, nice setup so far.
48:16
Yeah, love the pictures too, by the way.
48:17
Really, really appreciate these pictures that were sent in.
48:19
And they were hard to choose from.
48:21
There were so many good entries.
48:22
So these were the best of the best.
48:25
Yes, Marius says, nice battery setup.
48:27
I might actually show that again because I like this picture a lot.
48:30
This is Max next to his Seag Energy.
48:33
This is almost identical to our setup for Joy and I.
48:36
We've got five modules as does Max here with an inverter at the top.
48:42
That is probably half the size.
48:45
I'm going to third.
48:50
Yeah, so thanks Max.
48:53
All right, so just back on batteries guys.
48:56
So I don't know whether you guys are following.
48:58
There was a recall for the Tesla Powerwall too recently.
49:01
And Tesla got on top of this very quickly to their credit.
49:05
It was for batteries that were produced.
49:07
Let me see the dates.
49:08
I think 2020, here we go.
49:11
November 2020 to June 2022.
49:14
So they were the faulty batches.
49:16
And it sounded pretty dramatic risk of fire and failure and all that stuff.
49:20
So Tesla has, they've shut off these remotely.
49:24
These affected Powerwalls recall refund exchange.
49:29
So still playing out as we speak.
49:30
So I thought we'd just highlight this as well.
49:33
So people didn't even need to know about it.
49:36
It was just automatically switched off.
49:38
Like they didn't need to like, you know, like with product recalls,
49:41
you have to kind of like see it in a newspaper or something.
49:43
And you didn't need to do that.
49:45
They just actually contacted you.
49:49
I think that's, you know, that's the beauty of Tesla products
49:52
that they know exactly what's wrong with each one.
49:55
And when they do, they can remotely do a lot of these things.
49:59
Where as we sort of remember with the whole Tocata Airbag situation,
50:03
there were lots of people that would contact in many times
50:06
and still people got hurt.
50:08
So yeah, if anyone's affected, check your Tesla app.
50:13
And yeah, and especially if it's somewhere in those timeframes,
50:20
Yeah, I mean, this is no joke, right?
50:21
This is like a fire risk in your home.
50:23
So I'm glad Tesla all over it being proactive.
50:28
Yeah, with the power or threes and replacements as well.
50:33
It's also as in they got a power or three as a replacement.
50:38
So I've seen some have had power twos as replacement.
50:41
Some have had three.
50:42
Obviously some people unhappy with that.
50:44
But at the end of the day, if you've had two,
50:47
it's replacing either two puts you back in the same situation.
50:51
The three, the ones that have got the three bonus.
50:54
I'll be fighting for 300%.
50:58
Especially because the three is not compatible with the two.
51:01
I'm still happy with that, by the way.
51:06
Yeah, so I think someone contacted me saying,
51:08
hey, my power wall suddenly just got disabled.
51:10
So that's the reason why.
51:11
So you must have been affected.
51:13
I think there's also a batch from a couple of the dates,
51:16
maybe 2019 that the degradation is quite high.
51:20
We're talking more than the warranty.
51:22
So if you had a, if you got a power or two,
51:24
I think you should probably check it somehow to make sure that's still
51:28
within the 70% or, you know, 70% expected capacity.
51:34
Otherwise you should probably try and get a power or three as well.
51:41
Mary says my power or two is later than its recall.
51:45
And yes, Matthew, that's correct.
51:47
It's got both Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity.
51:49
So yes, they are monitoring all the time, which is good.
51:53
Ooh, we got a number of new US customers complaining of power wall
51:57
three inverters failing.
52:00
Hopefully doesn't happen here too.
52:07
So the final winner of our giveaway, the final one,
52:09
which is a mobile connector is this gentleman here with a Model Y.
52:14
So let me get this email up.
52:17
So Tyron is the winner of our last prize,
52:20
which is a mobile connector.
52:22
Recently picked up Tesla Model Y and he's a shift worker.
52:28
So he stuck at service stations charging his car,
52:32
but it could have a mobile connector to charge at home.
52:35
So he doesn't have to stay around after a night shift.
52:38
I thought that was a good reason to give him one.
52:40
So congratulations, Tyron.
52:41
You're our final winner of our Tesla giveaway.
52:44
Again, we'll reach out to you with details.
52:49
Five winners again from really good entries.
52:51
So thank you for, thank you for sending those pictures and entries
52:55
Really appreciate it.
52:56
We've got some great viewers on Ludacris feed.
53:01
Now final few articles to discuss.
53:03
So Roland, king of the ADR approvals,
53:09
latest to get an ADR approval.
53:13
Another midsize SUV.
53:15
I thought we were done.
53:16
I was so excited they were getting small cars looking forward
53:18
to the BYDC girl, but nonetheless,
53:22
it's another midsize one.
53:24
New plan, which is exciting, I guess.
53:26
There's a couple others and 150 kilowatts.
53:31
I think it, look, it doesn't look like a typical SUV,
53:34
but it's still that same size.
53:36
The key thing that people probably interested in,
53:39
unfortunately, but no towing as a part of the ADR approval.
53:43
So maybe something in the future.
53:48
I'm curious to see it says New South Wales body code,
53:50
panel van with windows and seats.
53:55
Superstue South Wales have this really odd thing where
53:57
sometimes the SUV is a panel van.
54:01
All of the naming convention between body codes
54:03
and what it really is just doesn't work.
54:07
I'll need to watch my video again because I did
54:10
get a ride of this in Singapore early this year,
54:13
So just to remind myself, I wasn't allowed to drive it.
54:15
They're very strict in Singapore with foreigners
54:18
So I just got to sit in the passenger seat.
54:21
That was quite fun.
54:22
But yeah, it's not, I mean, how can I put this?
54:25
It doesn't feel anything too special.
54:27
There's some nice touches to it, but do we need
54:30
another entry in this very crowded segment?
54:34
If it does the job priced well, what do you reckon, guys?
54:37
Is it saturated or is there room for another one?
54:41
Maybe people want something different.
54:44
Maybe this could be different.
54:46
And we're lighting a couple of livestreams ago.
54:49
We discussed the ION UT, the hatchback.
54:53
So maybe other models coming as well.
54:56
So yeah, good to see at least.
54:59
We saw it in Australia.
55:02
I'm trying to think, October last year from memory
55:05
at a show in Melbourne where GAC randomly popped up.
55:09
And they had a whole brand announcement launch
55:12
and went a bit quiet.
55:14
But obviously this 12 months later is a bit of a confirmation
55:17
that, hey, we're still coming.
55:20
But you go to Shenzhen or obviously Guangzhou,
55:24
which is what it's Guangzhou automotive company built
55:27
and made in Guangzhou.
55:28
So they're everywhere.
55:30
Taxis are everywhere.
55:31
GAC taxis that look a little bit like Corolla sedans,
55:37
So yeah, pretty big over there and have been running
55:42
And as you mentioned, Tom Singapore as well.
55:44
So yeah, nearly here.
55:46
Do we need another track day in Adelaide, Ruiz, Roland?
55:49
Tear this around the tail and bin.
55:57
If it's not your car, do it.
56:01
If you're listening to GAC, Guangzhou?
56:04
Yeah, happy to go there trying out.
56:06
For me though, I think there's never,
56:08
like there's never too many because if,
56:11
you know, for every one of these that sells,
56:14
if it's taking a petrol or ice car off the road,
56:19
So that's the way I see it.
56:21
As long as it's supported,
56:22
as many of our viewers always say,
56:24
yep, support it with the right servicing parts,
56:27
customer support, all that stuff.
56:29
Yeah, as long as it's serious to be,
56:31
they're going to be in the country for a long time,
56:32
then yeah, I'm all for it as well.
56:34
Yeah, well, they make roughly two million cars a year.
56:37
So hopefully it means they're coming in with the,
56:41
with all the right bits to sell and support cars.
56:45
So Nakromancer says the market is saturated,
56:47
but upside is competition keeps pricing on the buy side.
56:51
I mean, as Ruth said earlier,
56:52
if LROC and ENYAC are priced in the 40s,
56:56
that's a good thing, right?
56:57
You never imagined that a couple of years ago.
56:59
They wouldn't drop their price,
57:01
but obviously they can see that there's a lot of competition
57:05
from China and other countries.
57:07
So, well, what other countries are there?
57:09
It's from China, right?
57:11
It's causing the price shift.
57:13
Well, there's the Korean ones as well,
57:15
but they're not priced high.
57:17
Sorry, they're not priced low.
57:19
Speaking of Koreans,
57:22
I don't want to take Roland's main take on this,
57:26
but KGM, Old Sang Yong Electric Ute,
57:30
has just been approved.
57:33
So, that's apparently available
57:37
in two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive,
57:39
80 kilowatt hour BYD blade back-tree.
57:42
And yeah, it's apparently shouldn't be too far from launching.
57:50
It's a boss from the past.
57:53
That's an SUV, right?
57:59
That's the random car.
58:02
Yeah, it's pretty angry.
58:04
Looks much better than the original styling
58:07
for the Sang Yongs.
58:10
Almost looks a bit sharkish, right?
58:12
The square up the back here.
58:16
Any news on the Radara coming to Australia?
58:20
No, only New Zealand at the moment.
58:22
And Gili, of course, launched Starra here
58:24
before they launched the Radara,
58:26
so maybe there's a new generation coming.
58:33
Whatever says, really looking forward
58:35
to more X-pings coming to Australia.
58:50
And finally sharing this one.
58:52
So Australia's first electric prime mover charging hub
58:55
has received $12 million in federal funding.
58:58
Maybe these can charge quite quickly.
59:00
We're talking 480 kilowatts, I think.
59:05
Yeah, I think this one is in Melbourne from memory.
59:12
There must be another one.
59:14
It would be good to see more public truck charging hubs.
59:19
And hopefully there'll be plenty along the highways as well.
59:24
I must be thinking of another one.
59:27
Yeah, there are a couple.
59:29
I think Global Teams Express or Global Express,
59:32
whatever they're called.
59:34
And there's a couple of other public ones also going in.
59:38
They'd be good to test like the X-Ping G6 and IMs
59:42
and Zika 7Xs, the 100-volt cars of the world.
59:46
That'd be quite fun.
59:48
Send a command to Greece.
59:49
Place to charge Zika.
59:54
Here's an interesting thought.
59:55
Hi guys, what do you think about community solar farming
59:58
for those who can't access solar roof?
00:00
Do you mean like what, hire out your charger
00:03
to charge your car for the day?
00:05
If you're not using it, is that what you mean so far?
00:09
I think they mean those like where the town kind of like,
00:16
I think the council buys.
00:17
Like a public space.
00:21
And well for charging or just generally just using it.
00:23
No, just for like, yeah, general electrical consumption.
00:29
Like a community garden, right?
00:31
But community solar.
00:32
Oh, what about both?
00:33
What about like a garden and solar or greenhouse on top of it?
00:37
I feel like batteries are the kind of the missing step
00:42
at the moment because isn't there too much solar
00:44
at the moment going in?
00:46
So like, yeah, the part that there isn't enough of
00:51
is to deal with the peak hour.
00:56
It's kind of like between that three to kind of 8 p.m.
01:00
Time when there's no sun, but people are using electricity.
01:05
We need the solar soak.
01:07
Yeah, that they are community batteries as they call them
01:10
like a cul-de-sac or some communities have them.
01:13
But I haven't seen many of those projects take off.
01:15
I think it's a good idea.
01:17
You have cheaper electricity and you have a battery that can,
01:20
you know, power a street type of thing.
01:24
There's some novel ideas out there for sure.
01:26
There's the explanation.
01:29
Where you buy like a solar slot.
01:33
And then you get credit back for your energy bill.
01:35
So like purchasing a patch of land with solar on it.
01:39
You can't put it on your own roof, but you kind of got it.
01:42
Or rent it maybe even.
01:43
That's not a bad idea.
01:51
That might be it for tonight.
01:52
Lots to chat about.
01:53
And yeah, congratulations to all our winners once again
01:55
for the Tesla giveaway.
01:56
Thank you for all your entries.
01:58
Lots of quite good videos and quite amusing photos
02:02
and situations too as well.
02:04
So thank you for sending them in.
02:06
Really appreciate it.
02:07
Gents, thank you again for joining us.
02:13
It was good fun last week we were away, but back now
02:16
and yeah, I think things are only chugging along
02:20
and we're nearly into Q4.
02:23
Can't wait to see those X-Pen charges at the end of 2021.
02:32
Thanks for your time.
02:33
Knowing X-Pen, they probably will just suddenly spring it
02:36
and then they'll appear and it's like,
02:38
why were you even down here?
02:45
Thanks for your time.
02:47
Well, thanks everyone.
02:50
Thank you to our live viewers who joined us.
02:52
Thank you for watching on replay as well
02:54
and as well as listening to us on audio podcast.
02:56
It is school holidays in New South Wales.
02:58
So Joanna will be taking a break for a couple of weeks,
03:00
but we will be back in mid-October.
03:02
So I'll leave a, I guess a show live stream link
03:07
very shortly so you guys know when we are next.
03:09
Should be in about three weeks time.
03:13
Thank you to Roland.
03:14
Thank you to Joey for joining us.
03:15
Thank you to our viewers.
03:16
And we shall see you all next time on ludicrous feed.
03:21
Until then, it's goodbye for now.
