My mate Brett from Driving Enthusiast - https://www.youtube.com/@drivingenthusiastaustralia - dropped by the Fat Cave today, and since we both recently tested the same RAM 1500 Laramie Sport, we went for a spin and rolled a GoPro while we talked about it. This car is one of the most under-rated utes in the market - it tows heavy, it accelerates fast, and it's abundantly luxurious, as well as packed with clever features. Predictably, lefty/greenie types hate it.Make sure you check out Brett's channel and give him a sub - he's doing good work over there.Save thousands on any new car (Australia-only): https://autoexpert.com.au/contactGet a great deal on home solar (or add a quality battery to your existing setup): https://autoexpert.com.au/solar
My mate Brett from Driving Enthusiast - https://www.youtube.com/@drivingenthusiastaustralia - dropped by the Fat Cave with a Ranger Sport Loaner, so we went for a spin and rolled a GoPro while we talked about it. It's pretty impressive from a platform, dynamics, ergonomics and powertrain perspective. But it is quite expensive, and my reservations about Ford's product support and long-term reliability linger.Make sure you check out Brett's channel and give him a sub - he's doing good work over there.Save thousands on any new car (Australia-only): https://autoexpert.com.au/contactGet a great deal on home solar (or add a quality battery to your existing setup): https://autoexpert.com.au/solar

My mate Brett from Driving Enthusiast - https://www.youtube.com/@drivingenthusiastaustralia - dropped by the Fat Cave with a BYD Shark 6 loaner earlier today, so we went for a spin and rolled a GoPro while we talked about it. It's a huge - and hugely impressive - new ute. The performance is staggering, the interior is gorgeous, the tray is huge, and it makes a real statement on the road ... but it does have one significant problem, which could (seemingly) have been so easily fixed.

This is the definitive vehicle dynamics deep-dive with industry expert Graeme Gambold.

He's the chief engineer at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Ground, in addition to running Kia's local suspension development in Australia.

If you remember what Peter Schreyer did for Kia several years ago - he's the bold Bavarian former Audi designer responsible for the TT, whom Kia poached in 2006 to right the ship stylistically. Most people in the game know of Peter Schreyer. He's a bit of a design legend. Look at it like this. Graeme Gambold is the dude who makes those Kia vehicles drive in line with the way they look now - in Australia. And that's no small achievement in my book. If you own a Stinger or a Cerato GT and you've tipped it in hard once or twice - and enjoyed doing it - you've got G-squared to thank for that. He's forgotten more than you and I will ever know about vehicle dynamics, and it's a deadset pleasure to have him in the Fat Cave today. I can't think of a better first in-Cave studio guest.
This report is a full review and buyer's guide for the new 2021 Kia Carnival (which is called a Sedona in North America). To prove a point on versatility, I jammed a full-sized refrigerator in the back and moved it to the new Fat Cave.

You can help support the channel, securely via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=DSL9A3MWEMNBW&source=url The Kia Carnival you will see swallowing the fridge was a V6 petrol Platinum. And it’s, like, fully loaded. It’s not cheap, at about $68,000, but I would, frankly, drop the extra $2000 on the diesel. I think the diesel is better value. It’s just more relaxed and less thirsty, and you don’t need to boot it that hard to get better performance in normal driving situations. And if you’ve got $68,000, you can probably find $70,000 if there’s a good reason. Anyway, I’ve got this quaint philosophy that these media evaluation cars are supposed to have a hard life. There’s no point testing one like it’s a new baby, right? But at the same time, it’s not OK to damage one arbitrarily just because it’s not yours, and you do this all the time. So my acid test is: Would you do ‘whatever’ with the vehicle if it were your own? And, yeah - I would jam that big fridge into my own Carnival, no problem. And I get it that this is A) not a delivery van, and B) a reasonably expensive thing, but if the Platinum is too rich, there’s always the SLI, which is hardly ‘poverty’ - and it’ll save you about $8000. With Carnival you essentially get eight seats for the price of a seven-seat SUV (ish) and the access for passengers is phenomenally better, thanks in part to those two huge sliding doors. And if you only need seven seats, the middle seat of row two un-clips and you can store it somewhere in your fat cave. And when you do that, it means you can walk through to row three - which is kind of a big deal if you’ve got two child restraints installed for the kids, and you’re on your way to collect their septuagenarian grandparents so all three generations of you can argue on the way to lunch somewhere scenic. If you want to do this in a seven-seat SUV (the ‘walk through’ thing) grandma and grandpa either have to do the whole ‘Seal Team Six’ bit and hurdle row two, or you get to work up a sweat removing and re-fitting those kiddie seats, every time everyone gets in or out, in the pouring rain... I suppose you can also walk through to row three in a seven-seat Hyundai Palisade - but it’s about $3000 more expensive, and you have to tick the box for seven seats if you want to do this in a Palisade. You can’t ever fit eight people on board if you do that. And if you tick the box for eight seats, you can’t ever just walk through, because Palisade lacks Carnival’s ‘now you see it; now you don’t’ trick with the centre seat from row two. Kia’s done a great job building a better mousetrap with this latest generation Carnival. It’s a real step up from its predecessor, which was also excellent before being let go. This Carnival is the best ‘not quite an SUV’ that a heap more SUV buyers should buy, but won’t.
The world’s most high profile bullshitting billionaire genius, Electric Jesus, sent Tesla shares into a six per cent tailspin when he recently unveiled a stainless steel joke without a punchline, at the Plug-in Scientology cult facility in Freemont, California.

You can help support the channel, securely via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=DSL9A3MWEMNBW&source=url The world’s most high profile bullshitting billionaire genius, Electric Jesus, sent Tesla shares into a six per cent tailspin when he recently unveiled a stainless steel joke without a punchline, at the Plug-in Scientology cult facility in Freemont, California. The so-called Tesla Cybertruck is essentially a Homer Simpson-designed stainless steel Humvee minus of course all connection to satire. It also has an element of mentally retarded stealth fighter about it also, I think you’d agree. It’s the perfect prank reveal, that wasn’t. The ‘Stevie Wonder’ launch edition Cybertruck is expected to retail for $39,990 Retardistani Pesos for the poverty pack with just one electric motor, and rear drive. It’ll stretch up to just under 70 Retardistani big ones for the three-motor all-wheel drive version. There’s a dual-motor AWD version as well, somewhere in the middle on price. Apparently the poverty version is good for 400 kilometres. The dual motor variant offers 480 kays of range and the tri-motor jobbie will take you 800 kilometres. But they’re all just just claims from the summit of Electric Bullshit Mountain at this stage, of course. Like the much hyped Tesla Semi which, EJ assured us would be clogging the roads by now, the Cybertruck does not actually exist. So there’s still hope. It’s just a threat at this stage. Speaking of which, Bullshit Six says the tri-motor Cybertruck will do 0-100 in 2.9 seconds. Which is rather fast. It’ll carry a payload of up to 1.6 tonnes and tow more than 3.4 tonnes. If you want the self-driving one that doesn’t really drive itself and isn’t actually autonomous, that’ll be a $7000 option. It’s a six-seater, the body is made of (quote) “ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel” which kinda explains the ridiculous shape. And of course it’s glazed with (quote) “armour glass”. The English language: so friggin’ complex. However, at the reveal, when wannabe Tony Stark’s conscripted some - I dunno - some millennial piss boy from the cult to demonstrate the toughness of the vehicle’s illiterate glass by throwing a metal ball at it (which is not one of bulletproof glass’s toughest tests, I note) the window shattered. Twice. Yesssssss! Which is just impossibly excellent as public spectacles go, I think you’d agree. If you suspend all disbelief, you will ‘learn’ (if that’s the right word) that the new Tesla ‘Stealth Cockroach’ Stupidtruck will be offered with an electric ATV, the so-called Cyberquad, which Electric Jesus says will be available only as a genuine Cybertruck option. (Note to self - might need an extra charging point in the Fat Cave. Or not.) So, if you’re a rich, environmentally evangelical dick with a dysfunctional relationship with aesthetics, who failed physics and seeks to save the planet by overconsuming absurd products that really won’t help, the new Tesla tri-motor Stevie Wonder Cybertruck and Cyberquad boxed set could be just right for you. No plans have been announced for right-hand drive or ‘Strayan homologtion for the mighty Tesla Stupidtruck, and I think we can all thank the Lord, Electric Jesus, sincerely, for that.
