Klô Pelgag est une artiste bien établie au Québec et au Canada, cumulant 20 Félix aux Galas de l'ADISQ en carrière, deux prix JUNO, une nomination sur la courte liste et une sur la longue liste du Prix de musique Polaris, des concerts à guichet fermé au MTelus et des collaborations et apparitions aux concerts de CRi, Patrick Watson et Pomme. Chaque album de Klô Pelgag solidifie la place distinctive qu'elle occupe dans le paysage culturel francophone, et Abracadabra ne fait pas exception. L'album a été très bien accueilli par les médias québécois et canadiens, incluant une entrevue dans le cadre de CBC q, une critique de 8/10 dans Exclaim!, la une du Rolling Stone Québec, des articles dans La Presse et Le Journal de Montréal, et une primeur via Elle Québec, entre autres. Hors Canada, Abracadabra a été vastement encensé par des publications telles que FrancoFans, qui a souligné « la plume toujours aussi aiguisée portée par ces fameuses mélodies perchées et cette voix parfaitement maîtrisée. » CBC Music ajoute : « Avec Abracadabra, Pelgag semble avoir un orchestre entier à ses doigts — et ce n'est que le début de la magie qu'elle manie. » L'album a également obtenu du soutien des radios à travers le monde, incluant France Inter, FIP, France Bleu, RFI Monde, France Culture et Focus VIF en France; Radio Eins en Allemagne; RTS et Vostok en Suisse; RFI Afrique; BBC6 Music au Royaume-Uni; et plus encore.

Son rayonnement avec son 2020 opus Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs s'étend au-delà de la province et du pays, avec d'élogieuses critiques en France, dans le Télérama, avec la très prisée note de ffff, et dans Longueur d'onde, Rolling Stone France, FrancoFans et plus encore. L'influent journaliste américain Anthony Fantano a critiqué l'album sur sa chaîne YouTube, The Needle Drop – du jamais-vu pour un album francophone : « Il y a des tonnes de magnifiques points forts créatifs dans chaque recoin de ce projet. » Dans les dernières années, elle a performé en France, à la Maroquinerie et en Angleterre au Lexington à guichet fermé, au Japon, en Belgique et en Suisse.

Lou-Adriane Cassidy n'est plus un nom que l'on se doit de présenter. Plus récente lauréate du prix Félix-Leclerc, récipiendaire du «Lucien de l'artiste de l'année» au GAMIQ 2022, nommée dans les catégories de «Auteur/autrice ou compositeur/compositrice» de l'année, du «Choix de la critique» et de «Album de l'année - rock» au gala de l'ADISQ 2022, lauréate du prix «Slaight Music 2022» et du prix «Coup de Coeur de l'Académie Charles-Cros» en 2020, Lou-Adriane Cassidy est désormais une des meneuses de la nouvelle scène québécoise. N'en témoigne que sa participation à la triomphale série de concerts Le Roy, la Rose et le Lou[p] (RRL), nommée moment historique à deux reprises par La Presse (2021 et 2023). Les critiques dithyrambiques récoltées laissent entendre qu'elle est une de celles détenant l'avenir de notre chanson entre ses mains. Sa feuille de route fait impression depuis longtemps: son premier album, C'est la fin du monde à tous les jours, marque déjà les esprits par sa maturité précoce et la grande sobriété de son interprétation. Ce dernier lui vaut d'être nommée dans les catégories «Album de l'année - Adulte contemporain» et «Révélation de l'année» au gala de l'ADISQ 2019 et de remporter le Lucien de l'Album Pop de l'année au GAMIQ de la même année. Son deuxième disque, intitulé Lou-Adriane Cassidy vous dit : Bonsoir, remporte un énorme succès critique et la tournée qui s'ensuit confirme aux yeux de tous qu'elle brûle les planches avec plus de fougue et de magnétisme; on le savait depuis des lustres a-t-on envie de dire. Nommé « meilleur concert québécois qu'il nous ait été donné de voir en 2022 » par Le Devoir, la tournée Bonsoir, qui s'étire sur plus de 70 représentations, lui fait parcourir l'entièreté de son pays et lui donne l'occasion de se produire en Suisse et en France à de nombreuses reprises. Fraîchement sortie de l'aventure RRL avec ses acolytes Ariane Roy et Thierry Larose, durant laquelle ils ont su bâtir un lien précieux avec le public et raviver un sentiment de fierté collective que l'on croyait éteint, Lou-Adriane Cassidy se sent fin prête à occuper l'entièreté de l'espace que cette collaboration a ouvert. Son art, plus expansif et ambitieux que jamais, a besoin pour vivre des airs rares des hautes sphères. Son troisième album à venir, intitulé Journal d'un Loup-garou, marque encore un nouveau départ pour l'artiste. Exit la chanson d'influence française, tout comme la nouvelle chanson grunge qui marquait sa première réinvention. Lou-Adriane Cassidy se tient désormais aux croisements de plusieurs limites et se fait plus protéiforme que jamais. Elle s'y montre d'une vulnérabilité désarmante, scande un brûlot sur l'industrie du spectacle, revêt les traits d'un monstre prisonnier de sa condition, demande l'absolution pour elle-même et pour son père parti à ses 16 ans. Chantant avec une liberté et une force dont nous avions vu l'étendue sur scène mais peut-être jamais sur disque, Lou-Adriane Cassidy navigue des eaux plus pop et plus contemporaines que par le passé. Avec Journal d'un Loup-garou, elle nous dévoile la manifestation d'une vision claire et déterminée, une volition pure qui ouvre évidemment un nouveau chapitre de notre chanson d'aujourd'hui.Instagram :https://www.instagram.com/laprescriptiondrfred/?hl=frFacebook :https://www.facebook.com/people/La-prescription-avec-Dr-Fred-Lambert/100078674880976/ Hébergé par Acast.

P-O Forget est sans conteste un nom à retenir sur la scène du stand-up québécois.Son spectacle, mélange d'honnêteté brute et de folie exubérante, vous marquera d'une impression durable bien après la tombée du rideau.

À l'été 2023, il s'est également démarqué au Festival d'Humour de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue en remportant le prix du public et le prix du jury au concours de la relève!Doté d'un naturel désarmant, P-O Forget s'amuse sans effort à s'adresser à la fois à l'intelligence puis à la folie de son public. Avec son ami et collègue Jean-Michel Martel, il coanime le balado ‘Un genre de podcast'. Son premier spectacle complet, capté au Club Soda le 2 décembre 2024, est présentement disponible sur Youtube.Instagram :https://www.instagram.com/laprescriptiondrfred/?hl=frFacebook :https://www.facebook.com/people/La-prescription-avec-Dr-Fred-Lambert/100078674880976/ Hébergé par Acast.

Si l'on vous demandait de délimiter cette nouvelle vague d'artistes qui redéfinissent la chanson québécoise, parions que vous parleriez spontanément d'Ariane Roy. Figure de proue de la désormais célèbre scène de Québec, récipiendaire du prix Révélation de l'année au Gala de l'ADISQ 2022, Révélation Radio-Canada 2021-2022, nommée à deux reprises aux prix JUNO, récipiendaire du Prix Félix-Leclerc en 2022, Prix Espoir FEQ et on en passe, tous s'entendent pour dire qu'elle est manifestement destinée à briller parmi nos plus grandes étoiles. Et même si on oubliait tout cela, il suffirait d'évoquer l'éclatante série de concerts Le Roy, La Rose et le Lou[p], nommée événement historique à deux occasions par La Presse (2022 et 2023) et couronnée du Félix du Spectacle de l'année, pour comprendre qu'elle est de celles qui nous donnent la force de croire en l'avenir de la musique québécoise. Suite à la parution d'un premier EP, Avalanches (n.f.) (2021), et d'un premier album, medium plaisir (2022), Ariane s'est fait un nom en brûlant les planches des quatre coins du Québec avec un spectacle bouillant, mettant en évidence les fulgurances qui la portent depuis ses tous débuts. Jubilatoire, d'une communion existentielle et inclusive avec la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui et d'hier, l'expérience d'un spectacle d'Ariane Roy marque et rassemble autour d'un souffle d'une vie ardente qui triomphe des angoisses de notre époque. Des prestations déterminantes au Printemps de Bourges et au MaMA en 2023, ainsi que des passages remarqués aux Francos de La Rochelle et au Paléo Festival en 2024 lui ont par la suite ouvert les portes de l'Europe francophone, territoire qu'elle entend revenir visiter sous peu. Suite à ces deux ans de tournée incessante, Ariane nous revient avec Dogue, un deuxième album qui tranche avec ce qu'elle nous avait habitué. Non pas qu'on ne la reconnaît plus, mais plutôt que la précieuse fleur qui éclot à présent a des teintes plus profondes que l'on s'imaginait. Délaissant la clarté de ses premiers airs, elle se montre à nous sous des jours plus sombres, le verbe plus mordant, la voix plus caustique, dans une lumière résolument contemporaine. Auto-fiction lui permettant de coller au plus près de sa vérité, l'album constitue un bon de géant, même pour la prodige que nous connaissions déjà. Coréalisé avec Félix Petit (Hubert Lenoir, Les Louanges, Bonnie Banane), Dogue montre les dents, oui pour sourire, mais aux dépends de qui ? Peu nous importe puisque l'on ne peut résister à se coucher devant les crocs, espérant se joindre à la meute.

Comme réalisateur ou armé d'une simple caméra et d'une plume, il est allé débusquer des sujets dans plusieurs régions du monde, des bayous de la Louisiane, aux montagnes reculés de la Bolivie, en passant par le Mexique ou la Belgique.

Côté cinéma, son film Gaetan, bien reçu par la critique, est sélectionné en 2014 au Festival du Nouveau Cinéma de Montréal.

Marie-Hélène Bellavance termine en 2004 un baccalauréat en Beaux-Arts à l'université Concordia avec une mineure en psychologie. Elle y étudie d'abord la peinture abstraite auprès de l'artiste François Sullivan, puis développe une pratique interdisciplinaire alliant peinture, dessin et mouvement. Basée à Montréal, elle compte plusieurs expositions collectives et solos à son actif, diffusées dans divers espaces culturels et muséaux du Québec. En 2005, elle joint Corpuscule Danse, compagnie qui se consacre au développement d'une danse inclusive fondée sur la rencontre d'artistes, étant ou non en situation de handicap, perceptible ou imperceptible. Elle s'illustre comme interprète dans cinq productions et danse, entre autres pour les chorégraphes Estelle Clareton, Benoit Lachambre et Lucie Grégoire. Maintenant codirectrice artistique et générale, Marie-Hélène Bellavance continue de développer sa vision du corps contemporain au sein de la compagnie et dans sa pratique personnelle et offre un regard sur la diversité corporelle et fonctionnelle à travers différents médiums. Marie-Hélène Bellavance déploie sa pratique autour de l'humain et de sa capacité innée de résilience. À travers des œuvres picturales, vidéographiques, performatives ou installatives, elle propose aux spectateurs un espace de transformation face aux différents deuils ou expériences qui nous traversent et nous habitent. Artiste de la diversité fonctionnelle, elle affine depuis quelques années sa pratique vers une plus grande interactivité avec le public en proposant des œuvres entre l'art performance, l'installation et la danse contemporaine. Son approche du corps en mouvement est intimement liée à la singularité de chacun et cherche les points de contact et de friction avec le spectateur. Dépaysement : les eaux intimes est un maillage sensible entre l'art visuel et la danse. Ce projet immersif invite le public à être témoin de performances dansées et d'histoires qui se croisent, dans un espace à la fois familier et onirique.

Natif du Saguenay, François Kearney est l'homme derrière le compte humoristique de Gran Talen. C'est lui qui, en 2012, a mis au monde ce personnage emblématique de Facebook. En créant cet électron libre qui carbure aux Subway, à Bon Jovi, au court métrage de la Palourde Royale (et aux likes), François Kearney a trouvé un terrain de jeu littéraire inspirant qui lui a permis de décontaminer par l'humour tout en jouant avec la langue. Tels étaient les enjeux de ce troll sans malice : faire rire, divertir et parfois même toucher. Grâce à Gran Talen, la plume de François Kearney a ainsi pu rayonner en dehors de Facebook suite à quelques collaborations, notamment pour Mauvaise Herbe, l'Axe du Mad, le Festif, etc.) . Cet élan a ensuite permis François Kearney de faire paraître deux bouquins chez Hurlantes éditrices sous le pseudonyme de Gran Talen : Journal de confinement bourgeois (2023) et Procès-verbaux de Gran Talen au Festif 2014 à 2018 (2024). En septembre dernier, il publiait un premier roman sous son vrai nom, toujours à saveur humoristique : Pénélope trouvera un titre (mais on pourrait appeler ça Bill). En dehors de l'écriture, François Kearney enseigne le français en adaptation scolaire dans Charlevoix et carbure aux sports, à la musique, aux voyages et à la littérature.

Victoria Lord grandit entourée par les milliers de disques de la collection de son père mélomane, qui lui transmet sa passion. Elle passe son enfance à la chorale, sa pré-adolescence avec sa clarinette et les années suivantes à apprendre le picking de Leonard Cohen. À 16 ans, son cœur balance: la photographie ou la musique? Elle choisira la première voie, étudiant au Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf en Communications & Arts Visuels, puis au Cégep du Vieux-Montréal en Photographie. Devenue retoucheure photo en 2006, la musique demeure néanmoins centrale au courant de sa vingtaine, que ce soit sous forme de pèlerinages musicaux aux États-Unis, comme disquaire ou lors de soirées DJ dans différents bars de Montréal. Un soir où elle officie aux platines du Cheval Blanc, elle fait la connaissance de Sunny Duval, qu'elle accompagnera par la suite sur scène comme choriste et guitariste aux quatre coins du Québec, en Louisiane et en Suisse, avant de se joindre au groupe de Mara Tremblay pour la tournée de l'album À la manière des anges.

Ce qu'elle aime avant tout, c'est écrire des chansons et les voir prendre forme en studio, entourée de gens talentueux. Elle collabore avec Amélie Mandeville pour Douze millions de fois (2020) et Jusqu'au bout (2021) alors que Les joues couleur de fraise et Vers la mer, parues toutes deux en 2023, ont été réalisées par Mara Tremblay.

Nicolas Babineau et Alexis Chartrand explorent ensemble l'univers musical des violoneux du Québec. Inspirés par un siècle de coups d'archets dansants, chantants, ils en proposent une vision intime, personnelle et imminent contemporaine. Leur premier album, Gigues à 2 faces (2017), a révélé que le duo figure « parmi les talents les plus prometteurs du trad québécois ». Leur deuxième album, un beau ptit son (2019), a confirmé qu'ils sont « deux incontournables de la musique traditionnelle québécoise ». Depuis 2020, leur musique s'enrichit d'un nouvel instrument, le violon baroque, qui les mène depuis sur des sentiers sonores inédits, créant de nouveaux ponts entre les musiques traditionnelles, anciennes, et le monde des sonorités électroacoustiques. Cette démarche a mené à la création de leur troisième album, Écoutez tous (2024). Ils ont présenté leur vision unique le leur folklore au Québec, à travers le Canada, ainsi qu'aux États-Unis et en Suède, et leur démarche est supportée par le Centre des Musiciens du Monde et le Conseil des Arts de Montréal.

Chi est née en Australie où elle grandit à Canberra, où elle découvre sa passion pour la danse. À 19 ans elle part découvrir le monde, déterminée à poursuivre une carrière, aussi courte soit elle, en danse. Montréal est sa destination. Un an plus tard, elle joint O'Vertigo Danse, compagnie pour laquelle elle a un coup de foudre. Elle y passe les 11 années suivantes à danser et présenter en tournée chacune des créations de la compagnie, de La Chambre Blanche em 1991 à Luna en 2001. En 2002, elle réalise un rêve en se joignant à la Compagnie Marie Chouinard. Elle plonge dans un univers complètement différent, aux antipodes, interprétant les œuvres du répertoire de la compagnie et participant à la création de bODY_rEMIX/gOLDBERG_vARIATIONS en 2005. En 2006, à la naissance de sa fille, elle est traversée d'un éclair existentiel. Elle prend une pause de la danse, pour laisser place à d'autres révélations. Le temps passe, elle se découvre de nouveaux talents, comme couper les cheveux, et enseigner la flexibilité, mais elle réalise qu'il lui manque quelque chose d'essentiel. Alors qu'elle est entre chien et loup, on lui offre un retour sur scène pour la re-création de La Chambre Blanche en 2008, 17 ans plus tard. Elle s'incline maintenant devant le fait que la danse donne souffle à sa vie, et qu'à travers cette expression, elle atteint un état de plénitude exubérante. Elle travaille depuis 2012 comme pigiste, toujours reconnaissante de pouvoir explorer la complicité créative avec des chorégraphes tels que Virginie Brunelle, Melanie Demers, Catherine Gaudet, Caroline Laurin-Beaucage, Martin Messier, Andrea Peña et les Sœurs Schmutt parmi les plus récents.

On today's exciting episode of Quick Charge, we talk about Whistlin' Diesel snapping a Cybertruck's gigacast frame, whether or not women worry too much about EV charging, and the progress being made by Tesla rivals in China. The questions being raised by the video shared in Fred Lambert's article certainly raise questions about the off-road capabilities of the Tesla Cybertruck, but one capability all Tesla products sorely lack is the ability to drive away from a charging session while still plugged in. Will the Chinese figure out a solution to that particular issue first, or will it be Toyota? We don't know – but you might! Give us a watch or listen then let us know what you think in the comments.

When President Joe Biden announced that he was dropping his campaign for re-election, the news reached most people via the President's post to X. Some are calling that a win for Musk's beleaguered platform, but Musk himself seemed to be preoccupied with propping up former President Trump's campaign on X, a platform Trump himself won't even use.

This week, several companies are throwing to the towel and full selfdriving, but please keep your hands on the wheel and your attention on the road as you listen to this podcast. The state of South Dakota and now produces more electricity from wind than any other source. Must be the hot air coming from Mount Rushmore, am I right? No. UN Chief Antonio Gutierrez says we are on the highway to Climate Hill with our foot still on the accelerator. Again, please keep your hands on the wheel and your attention on the road as you listen to this podcast. In France, the government has ordered that all parking lots must be covered by solar panels, all because President Emmanuel Macron can't get the top back up on his convertible Renault. All that and so much more on this edition of the Clean Energy Show. And also this week, Brian, why a switch in power in the United States Congress, which is voting as we speak, as we record this won't kill Biden's inflation reduction act, but a change in government in Canada actually would be problem for us north of the border because well, I'll get to that later. And we also have a bit of an update live from Cop 27, sort of. And what's new with you? How was your trip to Saskatoon? Because last week you're heading north two and a half hours in the snowy Canadian winter to get your Tesla fixes. That's the closest Tesla service center to you. Yeah, that's right. So the heater has not been working right and didn't seem to be working quite right last winter, but kind of not enough to generate an error message. But now I had an error message, so they seemed to know what to do to fix it. So drove up Saskatoon, where the closest service center is, and yes, they replaced the whole heater. That's what they did. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's under warranty. Everything's fine, isn't it? Everything's fine. When does the warranty end? Let me ask you, because it has, as we pointed out a couple of weeks ago, two and a half years, a quarter decade, getting close to the point where this is going to start killing you in the wallet. I don't recall when it ends, but I think it might say specs of warrant. It says in the app somewhere. Yes, here in the app. The Tesla app, basic vehicle, limited warranty, expires in March 2024 or 80,000, battery 2028 or 160 and the drive unit 2028 or 160,000 km as well. So, yeah, a couple more years to go on the basic warranty. Okay, I see. This could be a different discussion in the future. OK, what was it? Was it the PTC heater, the resistive heater? Yeah. Or you don't have a heat pump, so that's what it was. No heat pump. So the resistive heater. Yeah, for some reason they were sure about that. They were pretty sure by the time I got there. Because they have all the data from the car, like everything, the car is digitized and they can see all the data from my car. So as I dropped it off, they said, yeah, it's probably the whole heater needs to be replaced. And they were prepared to do that. And at the same time, too, there's been a recall for the trunk lid harness or something. I think it's to do with the cables, the wire harness to the camera in the back. So they did that at the same time. And it took about like 4 hours for them to do it. Wasn't too bad. Is that right? You had an appointment at 08:00 a.m. And they went right at it and started working on it. Yes. Call me around 1130. And they had the part, which is good again, I assume because they had all the data, they could order the parts ahead of time that they would need. That's nice. Yeah. And they gave me a loaner car, which I drove around Saskatchewan for a while. And yes, I got back before there was another blizzard. What was that? A couple of days later, our second blizzard of the year. Which is not technically a blizzard environment. Canada doesn't call it a blizzard. Do not call it a blizzard. But boy, was it a blizzard. It was crazy. Another nasty, nasty one. And I think we were the epicenter this time. Last time it was Moose Jaw. Yes, really nasty. Tons of snow. Yes. Crazy out there. How was your trip back? Was it okay? And the heater was all hot. How was it there, though? It was below zero, so I put on my parka. So you didn't have heat? There was a little bit of heat, not enough. And the heated seat was still working, but with the parka on, it was fine. Here's what I'm thinking, and that is the newer cars have a heat pump. Yeah, that's right. Newer cars have a heat pump instead of a resistive heater. So they don't have both then? I don't think so, no. You'd think that they might need one as a backup. But maybe the car generates enough heat that it holds. It's taking heat from the motor, it's taking heat from the from the batteries or something. There's a loop of different things that heat up here. But we do know there has been problems with some of the heat pumps as well in extreme cold. Is it in the heat pump itself or something related to the heat pump? Anyway, that's interesting because you didn't get a price on what that would be. Didn't show the invoice of what that repair would cost. No, they didn't. Just said zero. I'd be interested. I guess you could look it up online. What somebody else did we'll talk more about this sort of thing in future months. So anything else? You went up? You managed, your feet didn't get cold? Yes. No. It was a little bit chilly, but it wasn't too bad. Was it the most unpleasant trip you've had because you work cold? Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. I've got a really warm parka, so it felt almost normal. With that on, the heat can radiate up from the heated seat and fill the market. There you go. And then the other thing that's going on with me is they started shooting a TV show across the street from me here in the neighborhood. Really? You know, that's happened before, hasn't it? What is it about across the street? Because there used to be somebody of relevant who lived there who was connected to the film industry. Yes. They're gone. Not anymore. And it's their house that's being rented for this shoot. That's a weird coincidence, though. Yeah. And our good friend Jay is working on the shoot, so I've run into him out there on the street. Wow. I bet he doesn't know we're talking about him. No, probably not. I assume he doesn't listen to the podcast. No, he wouldn't. He's an old man. I don't think he knows what a podcast oh, he's an angry old man, Brian. Angry, angry old man who is actually six months younger than me. So he's working in winter and there's a TV show shooting across the street from you. I think Jay would prefer to be shooting in a sound stage where there's a lot more room for everybody and it's a lot more comfortable because, of course, it's a blizzard, remember? Why couldn't it be a James Cameron green screen affair? That's what you want to work on. But yeah, no, there's a lot of traffic on the street, lots of cars parked on our streets. But it's fine. Back in the day when I was a kid, I did a couple shows outside. It's horrible. Even in the fall when it's warmer than this, to spend 14 hours outside is just not good. I mean, they're shooting really inside the house, but there's so many crew people that they got to have to spill out into the cars and into the yard and everything. Is there somebody blocking traffic? No, no one closing off the traffic so far. Okay, that'd be annoying. You're coming home, you got to pee. Some little film student has a stop sign and says, no, you can't. So it's really weird. Happened to be on Sunday. I was biting my own business watching TV. We were snowed in. It was a blizzard, as you say, right. I couldn't do anything. So my son's home from college, and he took a shower. And I got to thinking, what is that cable cam on football games called? What is the brand name for that? Because I started thinking about that, and so I googled it, and it's called a Sky Cam. And then that took me to the Wikipedia page of the sky camp. And then I found out that the Sky Cam company was bought by this company, then bought by that company, and then it was bought by the person my son hates most of the world, which is Stan Crockey, the owner of the Arsenal Football Club in the Denver Broncos, and a bunch of other things. He's a bad man, according to people who support the team. And then I was gravitated towards a section that said incidents, because of course, that's sexy. I'm going to go there. There were three incidents, Brian. One in, like, 1981, when they first invented, and by the way, it was invented by the same person who invented the steadicam. Yeah. So that person, I'm assuming, is rich now. Yeah. So this is a camera that's on a giant cable that runs across the stage, two cables. So it's a couple of cables so it can fly over the players during a football game with a camera, I believe it's like a big X of cable, so it can go in three dimensions, back and forth. And just above the helms of it, you see them, you may not notice them. I don't think anybody who's paying attention notices them. Anyway, there was one incident at a small college football game back in the 80s when it was first came out. There was an incident in like, 25 years ago, and the third incident was an hour before I read it. An hour before I read it. It was a game that we didn't have. Here was the New York Jets game, and apparently the game was delayed by an hour because the Sky Cam fell from the I just thought that was weird. You're reading three incidents in history and going, this was an hour ago. The third one was an hour ago. And somebody had updated the Wikipedia. And of course they did, Brian, because Wikipedia, it's all about updating quickly. When we die, our family won't know before Wikipedia knows. Like, it will be updated instantly. Well, you know, there's no entry about me on Wikipedia, so if anyone out there well, there will be by then to write one. Me, too. I keep begging people to write one for years. I keep writing it myself, and they rejected, even though I have many awards if you're not allowed to accolades. And yeah, last night my partner had a grocery store order far away, and we went to the east end of town to pick up groceries because she ordered it in advance before the blizzard without checking the weather. It was a herring affair. And we decided to use her coupons for Carl's Jr. Which she never go to, but we thought that would be exotic someplace. We have a bit, let's go there and try this coupon out. And we got there and ordered it all went smoothly. And we got to the drive through window and there was this car load of teenagers in front of us who had been stuck there for an hour. And no one at the drivethrough told us anything. But the car in front of us was stuck right at the window for an hour. So we had the card that my partner uses and many, many years ago we went to the grocery store chain Superstore and they had clearance, these pieces of rectangular plastic that are grippy that you put under your wheel. They're like a little tread of plastic that's really pointy. Yeah. So it's something you keep in the trunk and if you get stuck in the snow, you put them under your wheels. Never used them. Cost about $0.50, like they were discounted from like twelve bucks to fifty cents. Never used them. But she had them in the car, put one under the front wheel, cut them out of there in a second. Wow. And they threw $20 at me, which I refused, of course, but they were so thankful to get out, they ever would. And of course it's embarrassing because you're blocking a fat guy from getting his burger behind you and that's no good. So, yeah, we got them out instantly, which was funny as hell. Good deed of the week. Sure. Now let's get on to some discussions with past stories because I wanted to talk about the Energy Vis Climate podcast. Okay? This is my name's. Sake ed. Woodynham calls himself I call myself Whittingham. He calls himself Woodynham. He's from Alberta. It's 90% chance for cousins. Okay, I haven't worked it out yet, but two people, there's like six Whittingham in Canada and apparently two of them fell into clean energy somehow. But whose podcast is more popular, that's what I want to know. Well, he's a big deal. He's been in the news for working for governments as a consultant. So he would have a lot of like this is not the same kind of podcast that people necessarily listen to because it's in the weeds, it's in policy. There's a lot of policy for people who work in the industry. That's a huge news. Well, I do listen to it. And they had Kathryn Hamilton on, who used to host the Clean Energy or the Energy Gang podcast. Now she's gone off to other things and I think she worked for the US government for a while. She's from the States, of course, and she's a clean energy expert and got decades of clean tech and policy in DC. And she was talking about the US midterms. And I was worried, I've said before on the show that I'm worried about what's going to happen because it's probably going to change. Power is going to change in one way or another in Washington, whether it's now or later, it always changes. How safe is the clean? The big biden thing is not going to be reversed because they're evil, they reverse things. They don't believe climate change at all. They're a hoax. So I just thought she had a really interesting answer that I'll play for you now. So I don't think that shift will have a direct impact yet on the climate goals. It will certainly prevent anything additional from happening. And the US. Congress holds the purse strings for the federal government. So just on appropriating funds to keep the government going, that will have an impact. But the pieces that are in IRA are pretty strong. I mean, they are tax credit, unless they were to completely rewrite the tax code. And I'll give you a little secret. When you give somebody something, don't ever try to take it away. So you're going to have all of these people taking advantage of credits. And in fact, manufacturers are already moving into states that are heavily Republican states and the last thing they want is those tax credits to go away. In fact, during the Trump administration, they never put on the table rolling back solar and wind tax credits. They just didn't because they knew that was a losing proposition for them. Yeah, I didn't realize that even during Trump they didn't roll back very much, did they, as far as climate goes, because business people were investing and that's the thing. Now in Canada, it's a different story. What they call it, and they refer to it as a runway. In the states, solar and wind have a ten year runway that it's guaranteed that if you invest, you can keep investing and it will still work out. You're not wasting your investment. You need to give assurances and security to people to make these investments because that's what the clean energy transition is. It's largely investing, but in Canada we don't have that. So our government is a minority parliamentarian. Government that may switch to 2025 will probably I mean, the government don't last forever around here either. And that government hardly wants to get rid of carbon taxes and doesn't seem to legitimately believe in climate change either. They're not that far off in the Republicans. But yeah, apparently the Canadian government is working on making that so that it's a guaranteed thing because investors are already threatening. They might be grandstanding, but they're threatening the one is going to the states because that's where the guarantee is, I don't know. And there's even definitely companies worried about doing business in places like Alberta because of the sort of backwards looking energy policy that they have there. If you're a giant business, giant international business, you're going to think twice setting up a business in a place that is denying climate change. And we were talking about Carlos Gon last week, the former chairman of Nissan who oversaw the implementation of the Nissan Leaf, the first mass produced electric car, which I happen to own a ten year old version of that. And there's actually a Netflix documentary that just came out a week ago as we were talking about that. Oh, fantastic. Well, I don't know that it is fantastic. I'm not reviewing it. I'm not endorsing it. It's called fugitive. The Curious Case of Carloscone. And I watched a bit of a lot of talking heads. It's interesting because it's kind of like a heist movie, right? Because he's accused of stealing millions from the car company he led, he was arrested in Japan and smuggled out of the country by two Americans in a storage chest, who, coincidentally, were also just convicted this week. As soon as I brought it up, things started happening. Brian wow. Okay. Well, I think I'll check that out. It was an interesting story just because of that one detail that he had to escape the country in a storage chest. Yeah. Oh. We have some breaking news. The 8th billionth human being is about to be born in the world. We go now to Antonio Gutiris, the head of the United Nations. The 8th billionth member of our human family is born. How will we answer when baby 8 billion is old enough to ask, what did you do for our world and for our planet when you had the chance? After President Trump announced that America would withdraw from the Paris Climate Change Accord, elon Musk immediately announced he would quit presidential business councils. We are in the fight of our lives and we are losing. Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing, global temperatures keep rising, and our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. Twitter owner Elon Musk has told his followers on the platform to vote for a Republican congress. Tuesday, Musk tweeted, quote to independentminded voters, shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties. Global warming, which a lot of people think is a hoax. The Earth will end only when God declares it's time to be over. We are on a highway to Climate Hill with our foot still on the accelerator. This is a clean energy show with Brian Thompson and James Whittingham. Okay, so a quick start here from South Dakota. Now, we often talk about North Dakota here on the show because we're just above North Dakota here. In many ways. In many ways, I love North Dakota. Home of the Fargo Film Festival. Home of the Fargo Theater. Anyway, South Dakota, which is just below North Dakota, it is now getting most of its electricity from wind they previously had. Hydroelectric was the biggest source, but now 52% is coming from wind turbines in the province there. So congratulations to South Dakota. And what I say to that initially is, why not us? Brian why not us? I wonder what led that to happen. Like, what was it? Private investment? Because we have a utility owned, government owned utility here. Was it the private sector that saw cheap electricity that drove the investment in? That what sparked that? Because South Dakota is not in the day and age of accusing everything green as being on one side of the political spectrum and therefore the enemy the other, then I'm surprised that a state like South Dakota was able to do something like that. Yeah, in South Dakota and North Dakota, both tend to be conservative leaning states. It is slightly surprising, but as we know, it's a great idea. So we have very similar wind profile here in our province and a little bit of wind power, but it really needs to be cranked up. You know, it's interesting politically when I was in Fargo with you, that I was asking, because that was just when Trump was becoming a thing and I was trying to get a Trump sign to bring over, was asking around for one. They were all lefty apologizing for their country. But it just goes to show that even in very right wing states, you have pockets of people who are, you know, not everybody is going to be one way or the other. There's always pockets, even in the most extreme leaning states. Yeah, fargo is a college town. They've got, like, I think, three universities in Fargo or Fargo morehead. And of course, people involved in the film festival, I guess, tend to be people in the arts, more left leaning, but as a whole, pretty conservative places. And my son always points out that Wyoming has Casper, which is also a small college town, because we've been through Wyoming a few times and I've been shaken by some of the images I've seen there. And there's lots of bad things to look at and signs and messages. But, yeah, Casper, which is a town we did go to, it was like a Fargo of Wyoming. It was kind of like a cool little college town with a nice Taco Bell, I may add. Nice. And, you know, I wanted to go there for the eclipse. The total eclipse of the sun that was the closest to us was Casper, Wyoming. Oh, interesting. I think we had just done a six week vacation in the mountains with our camper, and I couldn't convince my partner to do it. I regret that ever since, because it would have been a one day trip to see something remarkable. No. And I thought about driving to Calgary or Winnipeg to see Kate Beaton, author of the Duck's graphic novel, which I was plugging on the show. But these blizzards prevented these blizzards are bad. You never know this time of year whether we live in western Canada, where you're going to get bad weather, and certainly any mountain pass, even the Sierra Nevada mountains, are getting killed with a whole whack of snow. I've got a story I wanted to talk about. I guess a few companies, at least a couple in the last week or so, that have dropped plans, like, Ford has announced that it has dropped plans for a level three driver assistance, which would lead them to robotaxis. And they're going to focus on level two just for the consumer rather than as a business. So that's been a big shift. Mercedes is kind of doing the same. They say robotaxis are no longer a goal. We thought that in 2016 or 17, and that's kind of when the neural net sort of became a thing and they thought, well, everything is going to be solved quickly, but now they're backing off of that and they thought they could solve the robotaxi problem quite quickly. And so did certain CEOs who now social media magnets, but committing to both a ride hailing solution and a passenger driven assistant solution was expensive. So they thought they just concentrated on the one that make people because people are demanding it now. They're demanding basically the different versions of autopilot for different cars just to drive itself on the highway. How was your autopilot, by the way, in wintertime? How is it doing on actual highways? Yeah, generally really good. It can kind of sense generally through the snow. Okay, well, self driving taxis that operate all day, every day and all kinds of weather have been a dream for many for decades, including one of the Google people who started their autonomous program, Waymo. Yes. So now he's programming trucks to operate within the confines of industrial sites. Only one of these guys. And he says the foreseeable future, that's as much as the complexity as any driverless vehicle will be able to handle, in his opinion. He says, forget about the profits, the combined revenue of all the robotax the robotruck companies, it's not a lot right now. It's probably more like zero. So our friend of the show, Mark Hislamp, who is one province over from us or two provinces over, but from where we live, he's got a YouTube show called Energy Media, and he also has a podcast from time to time, and he has a guest on from Guidehouse Insights. He's an automotive engineer and EV analyst. His name is Dulce Meade and he's somebody that I go to for EV information and sort of market knowledge like that. And boy, he's got some cold water to throw on the robotaxi thing. I got some clips from him. This is him talking about that it's going to be a while before someone solves this to be at the point where you can really start to scale it up dramatically and get to a level of number of vehicles on the road where you can start to build a really viable business out of it. It's probably closer to eight to ten years, closer towards the end of this decade than where we are today. And again, this is Marks YouTube show energy Media. I'll have a link to it in the show notes, so we can borrow from him without guilt. And also he's talking about how AI sort of plateaued. What I was just talking about, the Neuron net development in early 2010s was something that people thought would move fast but apparently he sees a big plateau happening and slowing down. We had that big advancement in the middle part of the last decade, and that suddenly moved things forward very quickly. But then it plateaued and it's been climbing very slowly ever since it hit that plateau. And so that's why it's hard to predict when we'll get to that stage where these systems are at least consistently as good as or better than humans. Now, there's been a Department of justice investigation into Musk over full selfdriving claims. According to Reuters, prosecutors in Washington, San Francisco are examining whether Tesla misled customers. I hear when you look at sort of on stage discussions from people in this space, they're really bad mouthed Tesla. Now, you could take that with a grain of salt and say it's envy, or I don't believe in their approach, but Tesla is always proving people wrong. Anyway, this is his opinion, his contrary opinion on the Tesla approach, and he doesn't think much of it. There are some fundamental flaws in the Tesla approach relying on cameras only, and particularly because of the way they've configured the cameras, where you don't have any stereoscopic imaging, so you can do parallax imaging to get some accurate distance measurement. Tesla is relying entirely on AI inference to try to measure distance to objects, which is an inherently flawed approach. The system that they have devised is not really capable of robust automated driving, and probably never will be. Between the name and what Elon Musk has consistently said for the last six years, since October of 2016, when they launched autopilot version two. And he started his presentation with starting today, all vehicles rolling out of the Tesla factory have all the hardware they need to get to level five. Autonomy. Which was a lie then and it's a lie today. He's a pinch angry, I think, which is up to the sort of a toad that I hear of these things. But yeah, well, we'll see. But Tesla's future is highly reliant on that's one big aspect of it. It's not just selling cars. Yeah, well, I suspect that they probably wouldn't do the same thing now. So that's back in 2016, and Tesla was not in a profitable position back then, so they started selling full selfdriving, I think partly just as a way to get revenue into the company, a future promise of a future feature. Since then, they've become very profitable and very stable. So if they were starting this program now, I don't think they would be selling this feature for the future at ten, $20,000. But, yeah, I suspect back then they just wanted the cash flow. And another problem that I've seen come up is people like you who have the full self driving beta but aren't using it. So apparently that's a bit of an issue because it's kind of annoying. Right? It turns off and you think, Well, I'll just drive normally for now. Yeah, I've. Got better things to do. Sure. Even as you're retirement. But this has become an issue because they're getting less data and they need more data, which is maybe one of the reasons why they're trying to roll it out to even people with bad driving scores. Yeah, but could they possibly even crunch all the data that they're getting? Almost on the inside observer, I have a friend who owns a Tesla, but you I'm amazed at how the promises keep coming that it's later this year, end of the year, next year, and year after year it's always there. But watching the progress of Auto full self driving beta, it does seem to be a slow crawl. Something could happen where everything comes together. I don't know, everything about it to ComEd and maybe they'll solve something that puts everything together and suddenly it makes a giant leap forward. But right now and we'll see. We'll see. Because we're six months away from testing your car again on the same route, and we'll see how it does. And we had a rainy day last year, so it wasn't perfect, but yeah. Anyway, France is doing something quite unusual, even for France. Yeah. So there is new legislation that was approved this week that requires all parking lots in France with spaces for at least 80 vehicles. This is both existing and new parking lots be covered by solar panels. So this is great. You think that has an 80 vehicle parking lot? What would that be? A strip mall? A strip mall would have that. Yeah, I guess so. We have quite a few kind of small parking lots in our city. I think that wouldn't qualify. Or even a big hotel. Brian would have 80 spots, wouldn't it? I mean, if you have 80 rooms, you'd have 80 spots. Yeah, it just makes sense. Like, this is schools, maybe. Yeah, schools. This is space that it's just there. And if we put solar panels on it, it will keep the rain off the cars and produce electricity. It's a nice incentive. So you have to do this. Yeah, this is the law. So according to the government, the potential of the measure could reach up to eleven gigawatts, or the equivalent of the power of ten nuclear reactors at midday on a Sunday in the summer. So that's interesting. That's a lot of power just from parking lots. No, and we've had stories in the past about covering canals. Like in California, I might as well cover the canals. It's just all this space that we have that could have a double use. And parking lots is one of them. You know, though, I wonder what the business model is for this, what the payback is, because I don't know what France's tariff system is, or if they have any money for just putting out the panels or the feed in of the electricity to the grid, how they pay and what the payback period is. But let's say that it's reasonable. You would have customers that would be pretty happy to be parking under a structure, an outdoor structure that shaded you, perhaps shield you from precipitation. And you could sit and wait for your spousal unit to shop. And you wouldn't cook in the sun. He would be shaded and comfortable. No, we have a real problem here. We have very hot sun in the summertime, so always better to get a parking spot with shade. I thought this was interesting. So it's the bigger parking lots that are going to have to do this first. Car parks with 400 spaces or more have about three years to comply, and then the smaller parking lots get about five years to complete. So this isn't just new construction. This is existing construction. Existing parking lots. That is a big deal. My goodness. Yeah. No, and if you think of some of the like, think of I don't know if they have Walmart in France, but you think of Walmart, the Walmart, the giant parking lots that we have for places like Walmart or shopping malls. Man, that would be a lot of solar panels. Yeah. I've been thinking about what we'll use, because the grocery store that we went to last night of the blizzard actually has a bunch of stuff built on the outside of what used to be a parking lot. There's actually an office building there with yeah, they've been restaurants used to be a gigantic parking lot, but they keep adding businesses to it. And that confused me because it's hard to find now it's easy to find a store at the end of a giant parking lot that's 10 miles away. There are walmarts in China. Do they? Yeah, they do. Wow. There's no French walmart in France, so I just Google that. Of course, there's a French Disneyland, but there's no French Walmart. It's basically the same, right? Yeah. Disney. When we do go to a robot taxi future, we're going to need less parking spaces. Right. So the way I envision it is, say I've got a shopping mall close to me that's got lots of parking spaces. And I think that what they could say is, well, you know, part of this shopping mall can be designated for Robotaxis because, you know, robotaxis will go mostly at the peak of when people get on and off work and on and off school. It's just like rush hour. But for the rest of the day, they'll have to sit somewhere. They'll need somewhere to have they'll need to go somewhere where they can charge and where they can somewhere nearby, different areas of town. I don't know where that's going to be. Yeah. Plus, I imagine it will be like the movie Cars, and they'll want to hang around together at a party, have social issues and things like that. Of course it will be like that. But at the same time, I'm wondering if we'll need less. Well, I mean, that's what Tony Seba says. We'll need less parking lots. And there's a significant amount of Los Angeles that has nothing but parking lots. And that's also a heat gainer for it increases the urban island, t island of cities as parking lots. Yeah. Well, hopefully we can densify all of our cities and just start building more building and housing on all these parking lots we're not going to. Right? And that'll be an exciting future. Plus like a driven right to the door. And hopefully some sort of device will lift me up and put me on an automated cart that will drive me around. Because walking is just too much for sure in the future, I think. So Porsche has made 100,000 cars. What does it mean? 100,000 of Brian? This is the Porsche Taycan electric car. They've now produced 1000 of this car. So it's been a pretty big success for Porsche. These are in demand. They are selling more of these than the 911, which is kind of the marquee car for Porsche. What I didn't know is it's not a huge company. This is really a niche player. So they delivered just over 300,000 vehicles last year. So they're a small car company niche and of course, very expensive. Tesla deliver like, one and a half million. Yeah, and they're just getting going. This is with two new factories that just went up. This is just with one. Yeah. So they delivered just over 300,000 vehicles total, and 41,000 of them were the all electric Ticans. So they have plans to electrify more of their lineup. But like a lot of things, it's been a little bit delayed. The Macan was the next one that they were going to electrify, and so far they haven't managed to do that. They've been surprised by that, haven't they? I mean, I think they've been overwhelmed by demand, but they've also stepped up to meet that demand, which is great, too. Yeah, but it really does make sense if you're someone who's interested in a Porsche, you're interested in performance driving. And as we know, Electric makes for fantastic performance driving. And if you're wealthy, then you want to impress your wealthy green friends. Well, there's nothing more luxurious, though, than driving quiet, so I love that. I don't know. Would that impress your green friends to a Porsche can? Some of them seems a little excessive. I've impressed myself. Maybe that's really what counts in the car world. Yeah. I don't know. It's a lot of money and you could probably solve the world hunger in a small nation somewhere for the purchase of that car. But Electric says that Tesla is now earning eight times more per car than Toyota. And Toyota is basically one of the world's largest automakers, and they're starting to apparently notice. Back in Japan, according to Electric, for example, tesla reported $3.3 billion in net profit last quarter, compared to Toyota earning just roughly 3 billion. So. Yeah, Tesla. This is despite Toyota delivering eight times more cars than Tesla in the same time period, and Tesla beat them on profits. That's kind of wild. It is. So they made the same money, same profits. But wow, I mean, the demand for Tesla is high. There's this whole inflation thing going on. There's the supply problem, the chip shortages. So they have eat up their prices a little bit. Thousand here, thousand there, as a lot of people are. What do you think it is? It's like a third of profit per car or something like that. It's really high. It's higher than most people. Yeah, I don't know. But the traditional automakers make more money on things like service and part of stuff. So this milestone of Tesla beating Toyota and earnings during a quarter is especially impressive when you consider that just a decade ago, toyota owned 3% of Tesla with just a $50 million investment. Think of how they get rid of that. So now Tesla generates $50 million in free cash flow almost every day, which is why the CEO can do cookie things and do whatever they want. So it's now time for the Tweet of the Week. This is where I highlight a tweet that I like. There's a couple of good ones. Maybe I'll do two. This week from Jenny Chase, solar analyst with Bloomberg NEF New Energy Finance. It's a casual line from those hippies at Pakistan's National Electric Power Regulatory Authority. And this is basically what they said in their report. They said the existing average cost of supply electricity to consumers is high, way too high. And one way to reduce this high cost is to procure cheap electricity from indigenous resources like wind and solar. Now, if we heard that from our utility in Canada, that would be remarkable. But this is coming from Pakistan, a very conservative place, who is not known, especially in governmental terms, to talk like this. But they see the value of this. No utility talks this way, actually. But Pakistan is and because she lives in the solar space, she knows nobody else is saying that but Pakistan Solar, or pardon me, the electricity utility is saying that one way that we're going to lower prices is by buying wind and solar. So good for them. Yeah. As we've said before, the fuel costs for wind and solar are zero. And now a secondary Tweet of the week. Just because I wanted to do too, and I hate deciding, brian, it's a lot of work to decide. Why should I have to decide? Fred lambert lambert. Lambert. Lambert. Fred Lambert, editor in chief at Electric. He says his personal account he says when I talk about Elon's feedback loop being hijacked by superfans, this is what I mean. And he has a story from the Mercury News in San Jose, California. And before I go on, I just want to say that Fred owns like, five teslas has been the biggest fan of Tesla and he's a journalist, but he's been reporting on Tesla forever. He is an enthusiast. He's cheering them on in every way. But Elon Musk blocked him once a long time ago because he had something mildly critical to say and Elon couldn't just take that. So what Fred thinks is that Elon like Michael Jackson and other people, they have this feedback loop of everybody who's constantly praising them. And this is a story from the San Jose newspaper that says that this one guy who's like a dad was tweeting him like 19 times a day or something. And Elon was often responding to him because it's such praise. And the softspoken superfan dad praised him for being fit, ripped and healthy and asked, hey Elon Musk, what's your secret? It sounds like almost a joke, like a comedian might do that because it's the opposite of true. He's not fit, he's not ripped, he's not healthy. You look at him and you see a guy who doesn't he's like an It guy who never gets an hour of sleep. It looks like he hasn't had sleep in years. And certainly not the healthy lifestyle and certainly no son. And the world's richest man's response was how do I keep fit and healthy? Fasting and diabetic drug that promotes weight loss. So good for you. When you're rich, you get to have the diagnosis. Drugs that promote weight loss and fasting is not good. Sumo wrestlers fast. They don't eat until 01:00 p.m. In the afternoon. Yeah. Wow. Not to 01:00 p.m. In the afternoon. That is a CES fast fact for you. That's because they store more weight if they don't eat all day. They train their body to fast. See, in human history, back when we were in caves and such, ten years ago, if you didn't eat, your body would think it was a famine and it would store extra weight. It would just change. So like fat people like me would survive in a zombie apocalypse. So my nutritionist tells me because we would need 20% less calories because we're that more efficient. Anyway, so we get a little bit of feedback here from the Twitter says clean energy fraud. You guys are talking about the future of hydrogen. So check out this podcast and what was it? It says this guy's super anti hydrogen and has some great points. And this is from Nelson. The podcast was our friend Mark Mslop at Energy Talk Show. He has a podcast as well. Occasionally puts out a guest, Paul Martin, a chemical engineer with a 30 year history of working with hydrogen and a member of the Hydrogen Science Coalition. And I'll put a link to that in the show notes if you want to hear some smack talk on hydrogen. And coming up in the show is the lightning round zoom through the rest of the week's headlines in a fast fashion. We like to hear from you. It's really what we live on. Brian doesn't get up in the morning without the hope of somebody contacting us. Clean energy show@gmail.com. We're on TikTok and Instagram and everywhere else. Clean energy, pond. We're on mastodon. At Mastodon Energy. We're on YouTube. Clean energy show. Speak Pipe. You can leave us an online voicemail message. Speak pipe.com. Cleanenergyshow. That sound means it is time for the lightning round, where we'll end the show this way. A fast paced look of the week in clean energy and climate news. Canada is putting the break on China's $4 billion lithium acquisition free. China is here buying up all the lithium they can, and Canada has finally said no. So Chinese companies have been the biggest financers of overseas lithium projects globally in recent years, including purchases of Canadian listed assets. And that's a new development, Brian. Yeah. So this is new legislation that limits the foreign ownership of some of these critical minerals that we're going to need for the electric revolution. Call it the biden approach, saying no more China. The Charging Interface Initiative, a global industry association focused on the electrification of transportation, has launched its new megawatt charging system. MCs is going to be called. We have CCS, the non Tesla standard for charging connectors. This is going to be MCs. So memorize that term. Brian. MCs is the new megawatt charging system standard for North America. So this will be some specific kind of plug and protocol for how to charge at even higher speeds. Megawatt speeds for trucks, basically for trucks, big trucks. Not necessarily all semitransport trucks, but medium trucks as well. This is interesting. The 2023 Kia EV six base trim has been dropped. And the starting price that means has dropped to an unfortunate $50,000 US. That means brian, I can't afford it. Yes, that's too bad. I mean, we sometimes do get different trim levels here in Canada, so we'll see. But 50,000 is a lot. Another CS fast fact, the golden toad is the first species to go extinct to climate change. Put that in your toaster and smoke it. It's too warm for them. And I guess the towed has had enough. Panasonic has broken ground on their EV battery factory in Kansas. This is what we refer to early red states getting a lot of this EV manufacturing, green tech manufacturing and jobs. And they'll be making 2070 cylindrical cells. A Viking bus orders 31 Mercedes Benz E Cetera buses as long distance runners in the country known as Denmark. Hello, Denmark. The reason I bring that up is because we've mentioned this before. When will long distance city to city buses electrify? Well, the answer is, I guess it's starting. That's great. The market share of zero mission light duty vehicle registrations in Canada hit 9.4% in the third quarter of this year. And that's a new record. It's up from any previous record which shows that the EV adoption is accelerating in Canada. Yeah, we're definitely past some sort of a tipping point, which is often said to be around 5% of the market. So, yeah. Canada at 9.4% EVs. That's fantastic. How many Ford Mustang electrics do you see around? I see them almost every day now. Maybe it's the same neighborhood, I don't know, but I see them everywhere. The North End, one of 600 EV sold in Europe will be made by Chinese makers of EVs by 2025. Fitch solution says, according to the China EV Post, So that's interesting. Something we've been following since the early days of this podcast is when will Chinese EV makers start to make gains in Western markets? Yeah, and I guess you're at first, because it's always Europe first, isn't it? Because they need their EVs over there. It's physically closer and they have tougher regulations to kind of phase out combustion. A slight majority of California voters favor the recently announced ban on new sales of gasoline powered vehicles by 2035. Only 52% and 43% disapprove, but hopefully they'll come around when prices do. I don't think anyone's going to complain about the range and prices there and charging infrastructure. Another fast fact air conditioners and heating elements consume 50% of electricity in America. Did you know that? That's a lot. No, that's a lot. Analysis as seen by the BBC shows that the production and transport of LNG causes up to ten times the carbon emissions compared to pipeline gas. So build more pipeline. I'm kidding. This around here, liquid natural gas as opposed to actual gas that goes through pipes. The greater than 8% electricity from a solar club in Europe for 2021. Here's the countries that have 8% or more just from solar germany, Spain, Greece, Italy, Netherlands not bad. And there's a whole bunch of 5%. A whole whack at 5%. Good for you. Greece, by the way. I always think of Greece as a leader in clean energy, but these things, they sneak up on you. Amazon is meeting holiday demand this year with a fleet of over 1000 Livian electric vehicle delivery vans. So we are talking about those for a long time now. And I guess there's a thousand on the roads for Christmas this year. Yeah, that's not bad. But 10,000 next year and 50,000 a year after that or something. Yeah, they've definitely ordered more than that. Amazon is a big investor in Rivian and they're desperately trying to scale up their production of these vans and their pickup trucks. So hopefully things speed up nicely. And finally this week, Tony Sieve says in a post that speaking of Amazon, amazon created a vast information technology infrastructure, but the use of just five weeks of the year, the holiday shopping season, which is Christmas in November and December where we live, they overbuilt capacity for the rest of the year. And he says, well, let's call that super data center. And thus the Amazon AWS cloud was born, which you see advertised on TV. It's now a trillion dollar business because they overbuilt something. So the reason he mentions that, Brian, is why? Because this is what's going to happen to solar, wind and batteries. Because solar is intermittent. Wind is intermittent. We need to overbuild it. But because these technologies are so cheap and getting cheaper, we can easily overbuild it. So Amazon, of course, a large amount of shopping happens in November and December, the Christmas shopping season here in Canada and the US. So they had to really beef up their online system to handle all these transactions in December. And what did they end up with?

I'm Fred Lambert, your host, and as usual I'm joined by set. When job are you doing today? I'm good. All right. You've been okay. The VW ID for, for a while now, you were able to test it for a week a week. We weren't supposed to be able to talk about it. [00:00:19] We don't have a post to reference for, for, for you guys to go read because the, the, the embargo was supposed to be later this weekend or early next week, Monday. On day and, but it was broken for some reason. And then the illustrator journal screwed up. They speed it [00:00:36] Seth Weintraub: up. I think they put it in the print. [00:00:37] So you can't take it back? No, you can't take that back. [00:00:41]Fred Lambert: So, so we're going to be able to talk about that. We're going to do it later on in this show, even though, like I said, the post is going to be coming probably this weekend and a video and the video too. All right. And then you went on that bolt, you. [00:00:54] Just a UV or did you get the new Evie too? Well, they were [00:00:57] Seth Weintraub: both there, but we weren't allowed to drive the bolt Evie, which is weird because you know, it's been around for five years. But we got to drive the boat EEV and it was pretty insane. [00:01:07] Fred Lambert: All right. That is Virgo though. So it's not interesting. [00:01:11] It's just blank. You cannot say anything about it, right? On Phil Monday, right? Monday, [00:01:16]Seth Weintraub: One o'clock I think. Tesla stops taking cheapest Model Y orders [00:01:17] Fred Lambert: All right. So we're going to discuss that on the next episode next week, but you're going to be able to read about it on Monday. Of course, if you follow electric we got to start with our testing and use as per usual, and we going to stop with something that happened last weekend, and then we add some more information this week that that came up and that's the mobile wise standard range. [00:01:39] So last week we discussed the price changes and everything, a good $2,000 a half. The standard range. I was like, all right, this is interesting stuff. And we'll just a month into the vehicle being launched already at $2,000 price cut. Now the model Y is less than $40,000. Interesting stuff. Then it just disappeared this weekend, this weekend, they took it off. [00:02:01] They took it off the configurator and people were like, Hey, well what's happening? Is it cancel? Or they just stop to take orders. We don't know. We didn't know. But that was very surprising just a month into watching it. And then a few days into cutting the pricing effectively. And then this week Ilan commented on the, on the issue. [00:02:20] He said that it's still available, but. Of the menu. So we know what that means. We know that what happens with that generally means that it's it's, it's going away. That's what happened with them all three salmon range. And it's, it's a weird thing just to, to have an existing 3m of your vehicle. Just, we don't tell you that it's there, unless you like you're in the know if you will. [00:02:43] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. I've got some questions about that because you can't just have a battery configuration. Like, are they going to still have the battery that battery size or are they going to like software limit? The long range battery. [00:02:59] Fred Lambert: Well, the way I see it is that the standard Mo wide standard range was really a standard Amal as the same powertrain as a model three standard range, plus really call it a standard range because there was no standard range to be a plus though. [00:03:14] The same thing is true now for them all three. So they could, you could also change that. But it, so if that's the case, then. I assume it's not that big of a deal to just use the military center drainage plus power train and build them all wire around it. Or like you said, if it's really low, I mean, I felt like there was going to be a popular vehicle. [00:03:32] So if it, if it's to be popular, if it'd been a lot of people gonna order it, I don't, I don't think they cannot. I D I just don't think the, the, the, they would stop for a lucky, with a bigger batch of bag, because then you're you deliver more value for a smaller price? [00:03:46] Seth Weintraub: Yeah, I agree. It's weird. I don't get it. [00:03:49] Yeah. It's that AI is that AI pricing. [00:03:53] Fred Lambert: I think it's Ian, because Ian said that you said in many driving condition as yet to meet a Tesla's standard of excellence. So it goes back to originally why we were surprised in the first place last month when this law shit, because you had said that it was canceled. [00:04:08] So, if we go back to the beginning of the history of the military standard range, it was announced all the way back at the launch of 2019 and the March doesn't 19 of them. The more why. And it was part of the configurations that this was planning to make available at last, the 250 miles of range back then. [00:04:26] And then later on like a year later, I think, you know, and said that yeah, we're not going to launch it because it's going to have less than 250 miles of range, which we, we w we find unacceptably low. And yet a few months after that, they ended up launching it with 244 miles of range, which is. I think it's good for that price. [00:04:46] Like, I think it makes sense though. He is fair when he says to be fair, he does mention in many drive conditions. So, right. Like in, in, in Canada, for example, or in places where you have a lot of snow, you have cold temperature. Yes. I mean, two 44 miles range will be a lot closer to one 50 miles range in very cold conditions. [00:05:09] So with snow tires and everything. Yeah. Yeah. So at that point, yes. It, it's not, maybe not opposite Tesla standards. Yeah. You got [00:05:19] Seth Weintraub: to make it between superchargers. [00:05:22] Fred Lambert: Yes, exactly. But but in, in plenty of other markets, do I think it would be, would have made a ton of sense. Like it's still up with with the incentives too and everything like it's, it is, it becomes a very attractive vehicle, but. [00:05:34] And they decided not to do [00:05:35] Seth Weintraub: that. Yeah. I mean, like right now. So if you order one of those in, let's say a month, if they're still around in a month via phone, is that going to have a battery, like a small battery pack? I guess it's the battery pack, like you said, that goes into the model three and they have the model three standard range plus, but that battery pack isn't like normally, like most model wise, they're going to have a long range battery pack. [00:06:02] So it would, it's just a weird thing to have, like, like I'm sure the call volume isn't high. So it's just a weird thing to do. Tesla switching to LFP batteries over nickel supply concerns [00:06:12] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Well, this is, we're speaking about that. I think it might be worth noting when Elan said yesterday about the LFP batteries. Yes. Making it to standard range vehicle at Tesla, because you just said standard range. [00:06:24] He didn't say cars, didn't say mole three. So you said that Nicole is our biggest concern for scaling leads to my onsite production. That's why we were shifting standard range car to plenty of irony. And leads him exclamation Mark. So we know already that the Mo three standard range plus produced in, in shin guy and the operation guy in China is using an [00:06:50]And then if the chemistry [00:06:52] Seth Weintraub: that's from cattle, right. [00:06:54] Fred Lambert: CATL yeah, I think so. So I run phosphate is known to be to have that as much energy density as Hi, Nicole cattle. Am I on with like NCA or NCM? Nicole manganese or just very high density? Nicole. So. There wasn't as much used in, in passenger cars though in China, it was a bit more popular with, with cheaper vehicles. [00:07:18] Cause it is cheaper to, and so a lot of people were saying the white Tesla was bringing that to the standard arrangement. All three it's not necessarily because they were saying that the energy density has improved enough and it has improved, but it's also obviously a cost situation here. The standard range plus is this is cheapest vehicle and People weren't too worried about it because it's just for China, the Chinese market, it sounds like, and people already a lot more used to it than China, but then they launched it in Europe. [00:07:44] They brought that vehicle to Europe. Now this thing arranged model three is produced in Shanghai for the European market. And then in Europe, people are starting to know this, Oh, it's not as good as the version with a nickel Kitto because the, the charging speed all a bit slower. And also in winter conditions, when it's colder, not as efficient, doesn't get as much range. [00:08:07] So. People were a bit worried about that, but what was interesting? Yeah, his comment is that that's where we are shifting standard range car to an iron ghetto. So he's implying that the shift is, is ongoing, the are shifting right now. So that might be meaning that the mode three standard range plus produced in in Fremont for the U S market and North American market. [00:08:29] And then everybody, everything else. Could also be shifting to LFP battery cells, which would be interesting. Yeah. And maybe they are waiting for that shift to happen in order to launch a model Y standard range. There you go. Because again, it's not just about range, it's also margin. This shoots also cost issue, and that might make more sense for them a little while at $40,000, if it has that battery. [00:08:55] Seth Weintraub: Also, we should note that I think iron phosphate is a little bit safer. Like you know, you puncture the battery, it doesn't have the runaway. Okay. It's not as explosive. [00:09:03] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Thermal runaway, thermal runaway. Yeah. So yeah, I thought it was interesting too. Yeah, that's a good connection in to that, that poster, but now let's let's go back to what's happening at Fremont this week. Tesla shuts downs Model 3 line for 2 weeks [00:09:15] So there was a report. Yesterday from Bloomberg stating that a bunch of employees on a mole, three production line were told not to show up to work until March 7th. Because there was they were shutting down the production line. It wasn't clear why, but we speak later that it could be because of the Industry-wide microchip shortage that the automotive sector is experiencing right now because why we speak to did that. [00:09:40] But first of all, if someone is an automaker is announcing not that this announced anything. Of course, people had to find out by looking good, but yeah. The if for the filmmakers announcing production out or, or deceleration of production, it is generally because of that microchip shortage right now. [00:09:56] I mean, GM for Nissan Toyota in Subaru. Yeah. Christ are, they all announced at least deceration of some production line and in some cases, a complete alt of the production due to the shortage. So. With that in mind and with the fact that what happened in Texas last week, and we know that Samsung is in Texas and Austin with a big factory that, that lost power and that factor is, is part of the supply chain for Tesla for Tesla is a chip that goes into the hardware 3.0 computer. [00:10:27]We just made one this morning through and it would make sense that it affected this as inventory and they would eventually have to outside their own production capacity. Now what we learn after that, Ilan commented later on yesterday that it was indeed, there was indeed the production shut down, but it wasn't exactly that it was actually a broader shut down than we expected. [00:10:50] It was just one production line. It was actually the whole factory that shut down for two days, started back up a day before yesterday. A lot of people assume all that means that the Bloomberg report was was nonsense. I w I wouldn't go as far as saying that, like, W what Elan actually said is that it was even bigger than that. Elon confirms 'high demand' for Model S/X after parts shortage [00:11:07] The whole factory was shut down. They said it's already getting back up. So it's not going to be shut down for, for two weeks. Like like Bloomberg stated, but Bloomberg was just talking about one specific production line that, that production, I might really take two weeks to bring back up. Like the factory is not just a switch. [00:11:21] You just. Go on and off. So it could, it could very well be the case. He didn't confirm it's for a microchip shortage, but did say some some parts supply issue. So I think that's very likely at this point, but in that email that we obtain You also mentioned a few other interesting things, especially regarding the model S and X to upgrade. [00:11:41] So when, when does the launch the refresh that's? The next thing was, it was really, it was saying that it was going to be deliveries in the next few weeks by the end of February. And we we haven't really seen that. So, so far it looks like it might have been pushed a little bit. And in the email you wrote Maul S and X production liner almost done with the retooling. [00:12:00] So. Implying that these two are going to be a few more days needed to start ramping up production and started deliveries. We will be aiming for max production next quarter. So that's encouraging and then he added, there is high demand. So we are going to need to go back to two shifts even ask employees to recommend France for recruiting. [00:12:20] So it's been a while since the all S the next lines of I've been on two shifts. We, we noted of course, cells have been declining a lot in the last few years as the program became sort of stale and, and the, the store was focusing of course, on all three middle Y. So, so yeah, it looks like a, the, the refresh did it. [00:12:38] Breed some, some life into the, the vehicle programs. And now they're going to have to ramp up production to society. [00:12:46] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. So the original email March 7th, what do you think that person who got that email is that guy or woman, is he, or she. Fired now, or like what, what [00:12:58] Fred Lambert: I mean, it was, it was a whole production line, so I assume it was a lot of people would be like track it down. [00:13:03]There was some people that were stating today that they were told to come back to work now. So, so maybe the, the ripping up faster, or maybe they're going to be used to do the maintenance, the retooling, like they said that they're going to do two on more, few more wise. So. Hyundai unveils Ioniq 5 EV [00:13:20] Yeah, I doubt anyone's called fired, but you never know. I'm sure they're looking. Yeah. All right. We're already a very, do you want with two tests news use pretty quick. So let's move on to ya. I think personally, what I think was the biggest news of the week here, the good news. It got me the most excited was the Hyundai ionic five official on dealing. [00:13:41] We sort of equal and full on the 23rd. And it hit the Mark for me. It hit the Mark. Pretty, pretty good. I [00:13:49] Seth Weintraub: was also pretty excited [00:13:50] Fred Lambert: about it. Yeah. Design wise. I mean, look at that car. Yeah, it's for everyone. It's definitely a step forward and not again, like it is so, so like anything like you need to change like any more like drastic design. [00:14:02]Do I, I would argue it's not that drastic. It's not like BMW high three, eight years ago drastic, but it, it is forward. But in my opinion, like a lot of automakers dropped the ball in term of design when it comes to the front hand. I don't think that's the case here. I mean, the headlights are very new, like this old square thing. [00:14:23] It's not usual, but it works very well into the design, the hood. And then, yeah, this thing here and the middle, there's a little line here. It just works for me. It works. Yeah. Let's go on no need for a fake grill or anything like that. Just, they don't [00:14:39] Seth Weintraub: even have the charge board in the front anymore. [00:14:41] Yeah. [00:14:43] Fred Lambert: I mean, that was the Nero. Oh [00:14:46] Seth Weintraub: yeah. That was key and Monday. Yeah. Cause it, the solar DB had that too. [00:14:52] Fred Lambert: Did the, yeah, the soul and. So the Cola doesn't have it is it's only the [00:14:58] Seth Weintraub: Negro. Yeah. I think that Kona has a normal one. [00:15:00] Yeah. [00:15:01] Fred Lambert: Maybe not. I don't know. I mean, I know the Niro as it from Kia and that pissed me off, but yeah, I think it works like it's and here's the thing that's interesting with it. [00:15:13] That thing is basically the same size as an ID for VWR D four. It's actually a little bigger than ID for, in everything except the eyes of the car. So, because if you look at it that it looks like a hatchback, they call it a CUV, but looks like almost a hatchback, but it's actually the size of a CUV again, except from the height. [00:15:32] And of course their height also contribute to your volume cargo volumes. So technically the ID four has slightly bigger or even decently bigger cargo volume, but that's because of the height, the actual space in terms of width and the length is is slightly bigger for the ionic five, which I found really interesting. [00:15:55] And then you'll you, you look into all the interior as well as some of these, I know it's got to get in there clean. Yeah. The, they didn't over complicate things. They, they they're still buttons. Of course it didn't go full Tesla, but it it's, it's minimal. I like it. It's not a big fan while there's an extent as much, but still pretty good. [00:16:16]The seats look. Very comfortable to me. Like of course that's just like, from what I can stand [00:16:21] Seth Weintraub: built in Ottomans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:16:23] Fred Lambert: Yeah. That's a, that's like a lazy boy. Yeah. That's luxury right there. Like, I've seen that in, in luxury car before, but I mean, I guess the, the Hyundai is going like a Honda as a Genesis for its luxury brand. [00:16:35] But I think with ionic, they're trying to like, it's going to be a higher hand too. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, the panoramic roof. Yep. Which they didn't mention in the launch an option for a solar roof? I don't know how it's going to work though. Is it, is it going to be cells embedded in the glass or is it going to be, Oh, you're going to have a full metal roof with cells on it. [00:16:55] I don't know how it's going to work, but yeah. Apparently is going to be an option. I mean, look at that. Isn't that look like comfort. Yeah, it's [00:17:01] Seth Weintraub: crazy. I mean, Th they, they did some crazy stuff there. Not only, I mean, notice the, for the floor and the front is flat. Like, that's almost a problem. Like if your kids are, you know, put their volleyball down at their feet, like any, you know, make a sharp right. [00:17:18] Fred Lambert: Turn, look, look, look, this, this is a cool thing too. Is that it goes back and forth. Yeah. The center console, when you're driving, like, no, right now I don't know what she's doing. Like she's just thinking of having in her car for some reason, but she lives there. Yeah. Maybe very, very stylish person for being homeless, but still. [00:17:36]That that center console is much forward. I don't know if it's for both. I assume it's for both seats, but when, when you recline a Cedar or push it back, the, the whole center console goes back. So those are through the dashboard once once you're in driving position I, I don't, I don't maybe a ball of some kind could still roll from the passenger side too, though. [00:17:59] Driver's side. I do understand your concert, but I also look at that center console right there. Does that mean you want some volleyballs put them there? Yeah, exactly. [00:18:07] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. You got your laptop case and they're your briefcase. They got room for everything right there. Yeah. I [00:18:13] Fred Lambert: mean, it's kind of a reminiscent of like the early mole SNX when there was like two seats and everything. [00:18:20]Yeah. In terms of the powertrain. A few interesting functions. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's, that's the key word really options. You do get two wheel drive all wheel drive two battery packs, and they are both available on boats options. So unlike Tesla, like if you want all wheel drive, you have to go with long range and everything. [00:18:38] Honda that doesn't push that on you. The standard range is 58 kilowatt hour battery pack again, all wheel drive, two wheel drive which is 125 kilowatt for the two wheel drive, which is a real driver. Yeah, rear wheel drive, I think, and 173 for the all wheel drive. So it's not a big bump that you get with the front motor, but still you're going through snow. [00:19:02] Yeah. Decent enough for, for things like Hi-C conditions. No, we conditions. And then if you want to go with the long range, you get a 72.6 kilowatt hour for the European market. And th this is a trend that we're starting to see Hyundai is going, like why not? Or they want more range. They want more, not only do you want more range, the PE standard is, is more difficult to achieve a longer range. [00:19:25] So it's easier to look like you have a higher range on the w LTP. So the, the actually going to offer a 74.7 7.42 other a backpack for the North American market. So almost five. More kilowatt hour that you're going to get in North America. Yeah, that's right. And then you still get the two wheel drive option, which is going to give you the longest range option of them all. [00:19:46] When combined with the long range battery pack and an all wheel drive all wheel drive, we'll give you two 25 kilowatts. So you're starting to get like a petty level, a little car there. And that goes zero to a hundred kilometer an hour, which is 62 miles power in 5.2 seconds. Respectable. Yeah, it's not bad. [00:20:02] Like you gotta have some fun with that. Like off of a red light or something. So range wise. I mean, they didn't release the EPA, but did they? No. Okay. The w LTP is four 70 for the longest range version. Do you want me to read so two 92 miles. But then, so that's on the 72.6 gold or a pack. So I had the former kilowatt hour. [00:20:27] I mean, I know normally, like you're on the, see if you get to 92 miles on WTP, you'd be lucky to get like two 40, two 50 right off of APA, but with the fire Marshall at hour. And like we noticed, I mean, two 50, at least maybe up to two 70, I think. Yeah. Of course that's for the longest range version and everything. [00:20:48] So that's longer long range battery pack [00:20:50] Seth Weintraub: too. It probably has to have more than the Kona. Like they have to maybe that's why they, I don't know, but like the Kona's at like two 60 or two, two 55 or something like that. So it's probably just over that. [00:21:06] Fred Lambert: Yeah. That, that, that would make sense. Cause it's going to be probably like, like I said, that that's all we'll get to the pricing, but I'm charging. [00:21:14] 400 volt, 800 volt works on the infrastructure up to three 50 kilowatt charging. [00:21:21] Seth Weintraub: But that doesn't mean it's an 800 volt system. It just it has the 800 volts. [00:21:27] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Yeah. Well, you can, you can, you can take up to hit on a wall chart right here, though. I mean, it's crazy that that's good. Like, I mean, [00:21:37] Seth Weintraub: real world is not going to be like that. [00:21:38] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Most of the time, like you're going to need to have a three 50 kilowatt charger, which are not, they're not that many, but they're getting more. But I mean, like if you want a three 50 kilowatt charging you want to tie in or something like that, or GT ADI GT. Or the Hummer and the heart Palmer, I mean, but those are all a hundred thousand dollars plus cars. [00:21:57] This thing again, I'm going to get to the pricing. We don't know yet, but we're going to speculate about Honda. They said that you're going to be able to charge from 10 to 80% in 18 minutes. So of course that's awesome. Yeah. That's crazy early. [00:22:11] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. That's it like, that's pretty close to like gas. Yeah, I mean is, you know, 10 minutes tops, but we're getting so close. [00:22:20] It doesn't, it almost doesn't make. [00:22:21] Fred Lambert: And again, you'd only need to do that when you're actually doing like long distance travel, right? I'm like this isn't charging is not even in your mind. We already talked about the ionic coming with the vehicle. Now they are calling a vehicle to load so that the vehicle to grid vehicle to home thing and everything. [00:22:36] That's, that's what they're called to talk about. No, you're talking, you're calling his vehicle to load. [00:22:41] Seth Weintraub: This is the best thing for me. I think like finally, somebody is doing [00:22:44] Fred Lambert: this. Yeah. Added that already. No compromise, like everything looks great. And then this is like a good headed value to have that through 3.6 kilowatt capacity that you can get all of it. [00:22:56]There's, there's a port that is under any the second row seats. That as a regular power off bet on it. So, so you can like plug it into your laptop if you're in the back or something and just use that as you drive or whatever which is not like unusual for cars, but there's also, you can literally use a bi-directional charger into the charge port of the vehicle and get access to that vehicle load capacity. [00:23:20] Seth Weintraub: Do you get the 3.6 kilowatts out of the, the plug, do you think, or do you have to use the bi-directional for that? [00:23:29] Fred Lambert: They don't specify it here. They do say that the V two L board is located under the second receipt and it connects within when the vehicle is on another V2. Port is like the other charging port on the vehicle exterior. [00:23:42] Seth Weintraub: Hmm. Cause they did a little video and they had you know, it was a European plug, which is two 40 already, but to be 3.6 kilowatt, it would have to be about a 20 amp. Output, which is be a lot of power, but that'd be cool. And then they showed it like powering refrigerators and TVs and a bunch of other stuff like camping, like, but you know, 3.6 kilowatts, this is an important thing. [00:24:10] Like you can back up your house with that. Like you know, those generator ports that you know, people build into their houses and they have the separate fuse boxes and all that, that that's, that's the kind of power that, that those things need. You know, a typical house, like, you know, I probably could look at my house right now, but our typical house runs at like two kilowatts or less. [00:24:30] So, you know, as long as you're not doing like, you know, laundry and cooking at the same time, you can probably backup your house with this thing, which is a huge added incentive because you know, the cost of that you know, if you're buying a generator which is dirty or you're buying power walls, which are like 10 grand, like that's a. [00:24:49] Big value, add that nobody seems to be talking about. [00:24:52] Fred Lambert: Yep, definitely. Yeah, we do the solar roof thing already talked about it. Didn't really mention any type of range that you can get all of it, but I wouldn't expect much to, to the surface of the vehicle [00:25:03] Seth Weintraub: here. Mostly just the vampire drain elimination. [00:25:06] Fred Lambert: They have the latest heads up display here. I need to find a video of their, of Hyundai's ends of this Lakers. I mean, I've seen the one in the corner, which I wasn't really impressed with. Not, not really one of the best, but they said it's a new one with augmented reality capabilities. So I'm really curious to see what standard Alec is. [00:25:23] That could be good because I've seen some very good ones with augmented reality. So I'm going to look into that if I could get a video because. I'm sure people would want to see that. And then the, the smart sense, which is the driver has to suit of a Hyundai that you get, I guess, equivalent like of a autopilot, if you will. [00:25:40]Yeah. And it's coming this summer. The first app available in selected regions starting in the first half of 2021. So, so like that the regions, I would assume that South Korea, some are repairing markets. I wouldn't expect it in North America and then the second half, and now in term of the pricing. So they already released some pricing in Europe starting at like 40,000 euros, which should be expensive, but that includes the, that, so maybe a little bit cheaper. [00:26:11]In North America, I don't know. Some people were saying, Oh, the base base version could be starting at 30,000. I'd be surprised. But something around 40,000 would be, would be, would be interesting. I think. Yeah, if they [00:26:25] Seth Weintraub: can get below 40, they still have the $7,500 tax credit, then all of a sudden that's a $30,000 car. [00:26:34] That's, that's, that's tempting, you know, that's like a. You know, I don't know, like it's hard to, it's hard to think about like a VW ID or ID for a Chevy, a Chevy bold. EEV a Mustang. Like this thing has all those little extra things that are pretty sweet. And if it's around the same price, it's going to be hard to think about those things with this thing around. [00:27:00] Yeah. [00:27:01] Fred Lambert: I might become a Hyundai owner again. I was on the horn at some point with my super Superman. How was that? I like it to run. I mean, I mean, I was a kid when I bought it, but it was like a very cool looking sports car that you could actually afford. Like I paid, like I bought it used, but I paid like $10,000 and $10,000 for it. [00:27:21] It was a cool looking little, two doors, a sports car. So, and it worked well. I liked it. [00:27:30] Seth Weintraub: I've never owned a Hyundai or any [00:27:32] Fred Lambert: Korean car, Korean cars. All right. The USBs. Okay. We're going to discuss this piece of news right here. And then we'll talk a bit about said's experience with the ID four, and then we're going to take questions. USPS's new fleet no all-electric [00:27:43] So if you have any questions, put them in the comment section below especially if you have questions about the ID for, I guess. Then didn't write a post, anything yet, like you could help him like formulate some kind of thought and idea of what you guys really want to know about the core. Be fun. So USBs the announced their, their fleet renewal contract this week. [00:28:04] So they are replacing the 160 some thousand cars in their, in their fleet. And they're not even going all electric with it is kind of crazy because, I mean, if you remember just last month, One of the first thing Biden did when he came into office, it's like the old federal government fleet is going all electric. [00:28:21] Like every all vehicle in the government is going in. All the Trico were what period of time and all, no, but the made it like a priority. And then a month later, what the federal government fleet, like the most interesting one, like the biggest one, the biggest part of it, the USDS, the announced the renewal of the fleet. [00:28:42] And like, we're going to have some. Did your car, some internal combustion in general, we are working very hard to promote alternative fuels. I mean, I read the announcement that I was like, what are they talking about? And then a day later Mr. To boss of that thing, what was it called? Yeah, the joy was by the way, was elected by Trump was pointed like, huh. [00:29:05] Or under the Trump administration. I'm not sure if Trump is even know that guy is, but. It was under Trump. He was appointed committed to only 10% of those of that fleet. 160 some thousand vehicles, garbage going all electric, which is what shows a complete lack of leadership, complete lack of vision. I mean, Those those vehicles are so primed for electrification. [00:29:31] Like it makes so much sense. Although SPE stopping, starting all the time it that's all of the things that EVs are super good at as opportunity. Yeah. Super efficient at. And Nope, they're not doing it also. They gave the contract to some defense contractor for it. Yeah. [00:29:50] Seth Weintraub: Wisconsin. We thought it was going to go to work [00:29:53] Fred Lambert: horse. [00:29:53] Right. I mean, I wasn't like, I wasn't old, then I have any like favorite or anything like that. But I mean, a defense contractor, like these guys make pinks or whatever, maybe that thanks. But like military vehicles. Yeah. [00:30:07] Seth Weintraub: Somebody got paid off. I'm [00:30:09] Fred Lambert: sure. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised about that, but like this, th this, this needs to be made by a of theory, like a myth, every contractor that deliver mails, like [00:30:18] Seth Weintraub: we've been kind of nice. [00:30:20] That thing is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I mean, it's a post office, like thing you wouldn't expect it to look amazing, but that looks like it was drawn by like, you know, a third grader, something, it looks like Homer Simpson design. [00:30:34] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't have that egg at the front end. Exactly. This Elmer Simpson designed vehicle. [00:30:40] But yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't care a lot of these items just, yeah, [00:30:45] Seth Weintraub: I'm more upset about the electrification, but like, if we're going to go back to the thing, like at least like, if, if they're going to do in current internal combustions, they should make it at least look decent and they didn't. So it's a [00:31:00] Fred Lambert: zero. [00:31:00] Yeah. And I mean, after the announcement, the next day Biden announced that was, it was able to appoint three more chairs of the, of the board of the ESPs. So he did that, which gave majority to the Democrats for the board. But I don't know if that's going to be able to do anything to reverse the decision and why Nike, they gave a contract already to contractors. [00:31:25] Officially cost. So like, can they do anything up? I don't know. I mean, I [00:31:30] Seth Weintraub: guess I could tweak the 10% into 90%. Yeah. Yeah. But, and, and we should note the vehicle itself is supposed to be able to be upgraded from. Combustion to electric at some point later. [00:31:46] Fred Lambert: Did it say that, but then why like, yeah, it's not, it's not like, Oh, we have like a battery constraint and everything. [00:31:53] 160,000 vehicles is going to be a big problem. It's over 10 years people. So the upgrade is over 10 years. Did they gave the contract now for 10 years? So that means that in eight, nine years under that contract, you could still be delivering and talk about engine vehicles. Which w can you imagine the in 20, 28 and buying a brand new and talk about an engine vehicle that you ordered 10 years ago? [00:32:21] Seth Weintraub: I got it. And knowing them and knowing that the post office and the government, they're probably like backloading the EVs. So they're, they're going to make a hundred percent internal combustion for like the first five years. And then, Oh, we'll throw in some electric vehicles in 10 years. [00:32:36] Fred Lambert: It's just, I was very disappointed by that because you're not in the market. [00:32:41] Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, yeah, I know, I know if the us does it too, because of Biden's announcement last, but no, I agree because of the USBs actually gave contracts to a bunch of companies, including like workhorse and like a few of those, like to, to, to build like prototypes and everything, like to show that they can do it and whatnot. [00:33:00] So it's not like, not, it's not like. No one could do it. So they gave the contract to the Oscars, like make most of the internal combustion engine. It's like something weird happened in that, that the joy guys is plenty. I've never met him, but I would safely assume that easy to a moron or yeah, some vested interest in like three or three years from now. [00:33:24] He gets a cushy little job on the Oskarshamn board. For some reason. I wouldn't be shocked by that. Yeah. [00:33:32] Seth Weintraub: 5 million a year consultant bastard. Seth's experience in the VW ID4 [00:33:35] Fred Lambert: All right. So let's talk about something a little better. Did you find the ID for it's a great [00:33:41] Seth Weintraub: car? You know, there's, there's trade offs, always and Volkswagen you know, they have three tiers, they have the Volkswagen Audi and Porsche inter you know, in Volkswagen's kind of the people's car. [00:33:52] And I think, you know, overall they have a saying, I guess, It's not for millionaires it's for the millions. So they, they took some, you know, it doesn't charge at 150 kilowatts. It charges at one 20 or one 10 or whatever. It's not super fast, like I got a rear wheel drive version in the snow it's sucked in the snow. [00:34:11] Like I've had, they told me it was snow tires and I was like, this is, you know, barely made it up. My driveway, I got stuck twice. I had to shovel it out a couple of times. So it's a great car. [00:34:21] Fred Lambert: All wheel drive version is all the [00:34:23] Seth Weintraub: all wheel drive version is coming late summer. Hopefully we'll get invited to that after the summer. [00:34:29] Yeah, just in time for the summer, they have a two wheel drive just in time for the winter. Smart. But what's cool about the all wheel drive one. We are a North American is they're making it here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. So, you know, maybe, maybe it's, if you're, if you're into that car, maybe it's a good thing to wait. [00:34:44]But this was the first edition. And we got it for three days or no, sorry, we got it for 36 hours. And that I got it for an hour. I took it, you know, did my. Waterfall pictures and whatever. Went shopping for some groceries, came back snowstorm for about 24 hours. And then the snow turned into rain and then I had another, like three or four hours. [00:35:06] So at the imagery and the videos, aren't going to be great. And I didn't get to take it to Vermont. Like I did the Mustang, which I couldn't put on [00:35:13] Fred Lambert: knowledge on it really. [00:35:14] Seth Weintraub: Yeah, I really couldn't drive it because, you know, in the snow, like the row, even though like, even if you can get out of my driveway, which is not that easy, the roads were just horrible. [00:35:25] So with a two wheel drive car, I just didn't trust being able to get up Hills and, and stay, you know, stay on the road. But that said like the car is really pleasant. Like it's a great drive, you know, BWS, German engineered. It feels great inside it, it it, it was like somewhere between like the Mustang level of luxury and a Tesla, like the, you know, when you hit a bump, it didn't make a loud noise. [00:35:49] Like my model, why does, but it also didn't like totally softened it like Mustang dead, which is weird because I don't think of the Mustang as like a luxury vehicle. Yeah. I mean, inside, it was really nice. It wasn't you know, we talked about like Tesla, no buttons, it wasn't, or even Mustang didn't have very many buttons and it had the screen, it was very much more like a traditional car. [00:36:11]You know, like if you want to know where the. The door handle is you don't have to like search around and try to figure out what Tesla or Ford was doing. It's just a normal door handle inside and out. They did of course make the gear shifter. I don't know why this is impossible for people to understand, but like they made the gear shift or super weird. [00:36:29]It's a, it's like it's on the dashboard. It's like, it's like the BMW thing. It's a dial on the dashboard. And of course, if you want to go into region mode or one pedal driving is everybody calls it. You got to go twice into drive, just like the Chevy bolt or everything else, which is super annoying. [00:36:46] I asked them if they're going to upgrade that, they said, you know, we're thinking about it, but it could be upgraded over, over the air where, you know, you can switch that or change. That one thing was really disappointing. I took it to a Electrify America, the same kind of thing that I took the Mustang too. [00:37:04] And the Mustang has plug-in charge. So you just plug it in. It does a thing for like 15, 20 seconds. And then you're charging kind of like a Tesla Volkswagen who owns electrify America and has the ID for took it to the station, plugged it in. Ask for my credit card. So I gave it my credit card that didn't work. [00:37:27]I did Apple pay that didn't work. I signed up for an electrify America account, which I've had, well, I had one, I just couldn't remember the password I signed up again. That didn't work. So maybe it was the station, you know, like, you know, we shouldn't know electrify America has been a great partner for electric and it works more times than it doesn't. [00:37:48] But in this particular case, it was quite frustrating that I had a Volkswagen and their charging system didn't work. And I asked them about plugging charge. Like guys, Like do that. Ford's got this, your other company you [00:38:01] Fred Lambert: own you own [00:38:03] Seth Weintraub: electric. Yeah. America, you have a car, you know, on the other side of the, the company that's doing pug and charge already called those engineers, like just download that software, do whatever you have to do. [00:38:15]But they said a plugin charge is coming via software update at a later date. So that's good. That's something to look forward to, I think like from now on like, if it doesn't have in charge, Like they gotta, they gotta just go back to the drawing [00:38:29] Fred Lambert: board. Yeah. I mean it, it, I feel like it's going to be a quick standard to be applied to the whole industry and it [00:38:35] Seth Weintraub: just totally makes it a much better experience. [00:38:37] Fred Lambert: I mean, it's like that stuff was, was smart to do like their home thing start with their own charging, that work. Cause they were able to apply that easily if it's with their own network. It's not as easy though. It should be for Volkswagen. This would just described, but. I mean, they they're doing it like Ford is doing it. [00:38:55] So yeah. I would [00:38:56] Seth Weintraub: assume if Ford can do it on Volkswagens chargers Volkswagen can do [00:39:00] Fred Lambert: it. Yeah. I mean, officially there's a whole Chinese wall between the different American was Vegas, completely different company and everything, but still. [00:39:08] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. So I don't, you know, that was one bad thing I have to say. [00:39:11] Like overall though, I was really impressed with the inside. The interior, the drive was great. You know, when you're not on snowy roads Like, you know, he kind of wonder like, all right, so am I just getting used to these electric vehicles? Like the Mustang was really good. The, you know, even the Chevy today also good. [00:39:30]And this thing, like baddie Ford, like, it was just great. Like it just flies down the road. Not, not crazy fast. I don't even think as fast as the Mustang that I had, but it gets there and, you know, You accelerate onto the freeway. You're not like wanting for any more acceleration. You're not pinning people back like a Tesla will, but I like Volkswagen says this is for the millions. [00:39:52] So I think it's a very appealing design. I think women and men who aren't necessarily electric vehicle nerds like us, they're going to be really comfortable in this kind of car. So. For me, it's a big winner. They do have some work to do, you know, all wheel drive getting the the and charge working. [00:40:12] But I think it's going to be a popular car. [00:40:15] Fred Lambert: Yeah, let's go. Sorry. I'm supposed to get one for a while, right. For a week for a full review. Do we know when that's [00:40:21] Seth Weintraub: gonna happen? I mean, I don't know if it's going to be all the way until. Late summer, but Oh [00:40:27] Fred Lambert: yeah, I was [00:40:28] Seth Weintraub: coming up. No, I hope so. I dunno when [00:40:31] Fred Lambert: whatever we though. Q&A [00:40:32] All right. Let's, let's jump into the comments. What do you guys are saying right now? All right. [00:40:38] Seth Weintraub: So Jonathan whirling says the boat. Evie is interesting. LOL. I think it is. I, I I've owned a boat Eby for three years. I, I loved that car. So the EVs. Kind of interesting, but I can't say why. All right. Matt, Oh, what are your predictions for model two $25,000 car price upon delivery. [00:40:59] Do you see anything below 50,000 Canadian out the door is 25 K too optimistic? Well, I don't think it's going to be called the model two. [00:41:08] Fred Lambert: Yeah. I mean either, but I don't, I don't understand that quick. Would it be bill 50,000 Canadian? I mean, wouldn't it be? Yeah. I mean, there's no, there's no con artists ourselves right now. [00:41:21] And in Canada, that is twice the amount that it's sold in the, in the us on that's the saying that maybe it won't be $25,000 in the U S eater, which might or might not be like the Headspace glacier, because it's the, has had some issue delivering on pricing before. So yeah, mean maybe. But yeah, we'll, we'll see about that car. [00:41:40] W w we'll see when we get there. So very speculative right now, it's probably still like three or three years away. So I don't know, [00:41:45]Seth Weintraub: In terms of the chip shortage station two 40 says Tesla also use a lot of chips from Texas instruments who are in Texas also [00:41:53] Fred Lambert: good point. Yeah. It's Texas instrument, Texas. [00:41:56] I think [00:41:57] Seth Weintraub: so. Green gold Tesla needs to figure out what models and prices they want and stick with it. This is in regard to the pricing. That would be nice for sure. I wonder if they're trying to create some like nervous energy with potential buyers saying it's at a good price. Now I should buy it before they raise the price or do something weird. [00:42:17] Fred Lambert: I mean, we would hell no is like test as it's so weird pod that for so long now and in the U S with the whole tax credit thing that like looms around everything too, is it's getting a bit confusing. Yeah, we didn't talk about that. I should mention this. There's a, there's a, like a competing reform for the tax credit has been introduced to we talked about the green act last week or the week before that was introduced. [00:42:41] Gives 400,000 more cars to Tesla and all the auto makers of the hidden threshold at $7,000, a dollar tax credit, the electric cars act, which was actually introduced in 2019, but of course was shut down under the Trump administration and the Republicans still have the Senate and whatnot. Now bringing that back and that one, if that one makes it instead of the. [00:43:03] Green act. That would be a big deal because first of all, it's retroactive through through the year. So it would start in 2021. So every car that was delivered in 2021 would apply to still 7,500, so $500 more. Who's going to complain about 500 or more in their pockets. Big deal here. Big, big deal. At the dealership, you can get it at the dealership on the sticker price. [00:43:28] So not a tax rate. It can be a tax fee too. And if you want it as a tax rate, it can be over five years. So if you don't have $7,500 of tax liability at the federal level you should have it over five years, especially if you're buying a new car. So. That's good, but then again, you probably, the most people won't do that. [00:43:46] If you can apply it to the, at the dealership at the sticker price. So some [00:43:49] Seth Weintraub: people, I don't know why you would anyway, [00:43:53] Fred Lambert: I'm not a tax lawyer, accountant. Maybe, maybe they would have a reason for it. But I I'm on the same page as you on that. And then the, of course the biggest thing of them all, they remove the cap. [00:44:04] There's no capital it's on a 10 year period. It's crazy. Yeah. Which is crazy. But I feel like that's more of a, like a negotiating standpoint, maybe like we asked for that. And then we like five years would be plenty. And then between you and me, like 10 years is a, is a long time, like by 10 years, like it's either, he's going to be way more competitive on pricing than any gas or cars. [00:44:26] I mean, I would have [00:44:27] Seth Weintraub: to say this out loud in public, but like Tesla is already competing pretty well without a tax credit. Yeah. My thing is like, all right, take all that energy and, and all that. Stuff and carbon tax, like, or a carbon dividend. I mean, I know that's not popular and never going to be popular, but like not at the station at the well, like [00:44:46] Fred Lambert: I dunno. [00:44:47] Yeah. But I mean, even though that the electric cars act sounds a bit crazy it's easier to do I'm sure than the car with AXA. Right. [00:44:57] Seth Weintraub: All right. David authors, as sorry if I missed it. But did you guys ever discuss the Apple TV plus show long way up? It included reveal and truck driving up from South South of South America to LA quite a feat. [00:45:10] We did discuss it. Micah did a couple posts on it in conjunction with nine to five Mac, which covers Apple TV plus. It's pretty interesting. I only watched some highlights, but it was also with two Harley Davidson Livewire electric motorcycles. So go Google it. We're the [00:45:26] Fred Lambert: focus on the show? [00:45:27] Really? Any does comes up a few times cause they were the support vehicle to the, but it's really just a motorcycle drive Molson. [00:45:36] Seth Weintraub: All right. Kevin, do you have pictures of all the nine colors as being offered in? Was that in regard to the Hyundai or. [00:45:43] Fred Lambert: Tesla. I don't know, but yeah, I mean, we, we should do that. [00:45:47] People always love those posts. Like we should probably do that with the high-end Nick in the ID for and post all the colors available. [00:45:55] Seth Weintraub: All right. When, if do you think LFP equip Teslas will make it to North America? Well, they're not going to make it, they're going to make made in North America. But it could be, I mean, if Yuan's kind of hinting at it, now, it could be happening as we speak. [00:46:10] Fred Lambert: Could be, but I have no idea [00:46:14] Seth Weintraub: we might not ever have it. Electric car market is finally heating up great for customers. I was just thinking the same thing. Like, you know, we're reviewing the Baldy UV, the ID for the Mustang model wise here, and they're finally catching up to demand. That's great. [00:46:29] Yeah. [00:46:31] Fred Lambert: If there was like the standard rainbow, why competing with diet before competing with the ionic five competing with the Mustang Nike all the same year, that would be like crazy. It's pretty much what's happening though. Standard rainbow wise is kind of up in the air. [00:46:45]Seth Weintraub: Green gold also asks is SCC investigating Ilan again. [00:46:50] Fred Lambert: That was a first Quoc, the Newswire financial news wire, which generally is pretty early on those news. So I think it was the one that they break the news to for the last ACC the station on Ilan. But yeah, probably they are, we don't know, they didn't ever come into an active investigation. So we very hard to permit by union is asking for it. [00:47:12] That for the news came out, he was, he went on Twitter and was like, I only do it will be Duke. [00:47:17] Seth Weintraub: That's like when the the diver was like, when to Sue you, he was like, do it, [00:47:23] Fred Lambert: but you want that one? So that's true. You didn't want the sec though, you could argue that he kind of won and we reported it like the deal that he had to buy more shares for Tesla. [00:47:32] You actually made money on that. So you could have done that anyway, though. Yeah, that's true. Like it wasn't, it [00:47:37] Seth Weintraub: Manda whole says Ilan for president Andrew Yang would have made the mail trucks, EVs, no doubts, man, probably. [00:47:46] Fred Lambert: Well, you know, or Andrew for, for president, he left for president, but Andrew Yang would have [00:47:51] Seth Weintraub: made it, I guess Andrew would have been at Yuan's. [00:47:54] Fred Lambert: Yeah. I said, I wasn't, I wasn't really prefer Andrew Yang as as president than Elan. I mean, I love the guy [00:48:02] Seth Weintraub: you on should be making cars. Yeah. How is Oshkosh qualified to offer EVs? I know they make kids overalls. How are they going to make a EVs? [00:48:14] Fred Lambert: I mean, I think that's a different division, [00:48:17] Seth Weintraub: different, different company, probably entirely. [00:48:19] All right. Wayno says you have to look at the quality of people working for the post office. Most drivers of Subpart. If that who cares, what does it, what does the driver have to do [00:48:29] Fred Lambert: with it? Like morons going to drive electric vehicles right now. Yeah, it's easy to enlist a few. If you want. [00:48:36] Seth Weintraub: We have a couple of good videos on the channel. [00:48:38] Alright, Chris, 50 fives stop. Well, Biden dropped $15 minimum wage and then bomb Syria. So that this doesn't surprise me. Yeah. I don't know. I don't want to wait too much into politics. Is giving did joy the hook news today. Oh, we got an exclusive from MDC 4runner. So I guess the joy has gone according to a YouTube commenter, Chris 55 stop. [00:49:06] That would be nice. All right, Mike Metcalf, Fred, you mentioned mining companies you're invested in. Can you share which ones, any other investments you're excited about? Disclaimer, time. [00:49:16] Fred Lambert: Yeah, I'm not a financial advisor or a stock picker or anything like that, but I can discuss my own investment if you want. [00:49:22] I mean, I'm very high on Nicole. I mean, Elan's concerns I think are warranted. Like the diamond is coming for Nicole from the battery industry is truly immense. Like it's hard to overstate. It just all big it is. And it's starting to get reflected into the price of Nicole. But it's not just about the price of the, of the actual commodity. [00:49:48] Like it it's about having new mining projects that are sustainable. And that's why I'm looking into like, things that are not contributing to the problem, but they're just a part of the solution. And also, also The the, the, the, the, the closer to the supply chain, too. It would be nice, like not going like too far deep into the wild and whatnot. [00:50:10] So, yeah, there's a few projects that I like. Well, the, the giga metals, a Vancouver based company that has been rumored to be working with Tesla on a potential Nichole mining project and vested in that there's another company that I like that is related to giga metals. That could be an interesting exposure to, to nickel is a conic metals, but I think they're changing their name right now. [00:50:33] It's not going to be kind of mills and anymore, but that company is very interesting where the invest, the, the buy steaks and nickel projects and that's all they do. So they're there and they're not a mining company. They invest in mining companies with small stakes and a bunch of different them with a focus on nickel and so, so that gives you exposure to Nicole really, but with a wide variety of projects. [00:50:54] And so if you invest in legal metals, for example, it's, it's a riskier project because if it doesn't come to fruition, well, that's it, you lose your investment, but if you have a bunch of different projects like that, it makes more sense. So Connie metals, they are invested in, in the gold medals. For example, they have a small stake in the company. [00:51:10] So if it does succeed great for them, they have a small stake in the, in the. And another functioning mine in. I want to say Papua New Guinea. I might be mistaken, but one of those places that are big and they go producer. So they own like an 8% stake in.com that mind that's already producing. So that's revenue for a company and then they invest. [00:51:33] That revenue and to acquiring steaks in smaller like junior mining companies and that, that are looking into Nicole. And then if those projects come to fruition, then the company grows and everything. So I think that's a good exposure, I think, but look into it, like do your own due diligence. Yeah. There's plenty of opportunity for bashing materials, mining. [00:51:55] Seth Weintraub: All right. So moving back into the comments the ID for all wheel drive is the one to get, or the iconic five all wheel drive. We talked about those. When does the all wheel drive ID for arrive and the summer coming out of Chattanooga? We'll, we'll be there for the, a bunch there. Hopefully hopefully it codes over Nanda holds them back saying cyber truck is going to decimate these soft first time entries. [00:52:20] Nothing else will make sense. Good. Glad to hear from the Tesla fan club here sat in the ID for it's barely bigger than our least narrow E V. That's true. It's not huge. And it looks like an ice under the hood. It doesn't have a Frank that's also true build quality was tops true, but they missed the Mark. [00:52:39] Okay. It would be funny if one of the Elon sons will be the CEO of Tesla someday. [00:52:44] Fred Lambert: I mean the isn't the whole, this like 13 years old or something right now. Yeah. If that would be like, you're talking about a 50,000 people company right now. It's not like you earn like 30 or something and like, ah, I can run the company [00:52:58] Seth Weintraub: anymore. [00:52:58] That's a very South Korean like mindset. Like why would it? Yeah, [00:53:02] Fred Lambert: well, it's like a foreign mindset to maybe also like Ian might not be the best person to run the test though right now. So why would his son be the best person to run the company? And also which [00:53:13] Seth Weintraub: son, like they're going to all fight over it. [00:53:14] There's like, and they're all like, The same age, because [00:53:17] Fred Lambert: we don't know any of them we'd have to toot the horn leadership or anything like that. Because like I said, I, I'm not saying that I don't like even running the company, but I'm seeing like at this stage of Tesla, I, there's definitely an argument that could be made for Elan stepping into like a chairman role and then like a product architect, role boat role, but the already older Tesla and then leaving the CEO role to somebody else. [00:53:42] I mean, It worked pretty well for companies like Apple, for example, like Tim cook is as I'm pretty good, even though people said that not as innovative as it used to be, but at the same time Apple, I didn't have a jobs to stick around cancer took him away, but if he can have you to stick around and have someone as a CEO that, that I think that would be. [00:54:05] I think the optimals iteration. [00:54:06] Seth Weintraub: I mean, he's really not the CEO anyway, like he's, you know, in the traditional sense, he's a chief like architect or whatever, you know, whatever you want to call, like the head engineer or whatever. He's not doing a typical SEO CEO, sorry role where he's taking meetings and doing all that stuff. [00:54:23] Especially since he's got two companies going or 15 companies all right. Okay, Nana holes. Again, the only reason Tesla up the model Y price was to get some of the government cheese on one spite in GMB, $7,000 credit's head. It will be the best value at that point. I don't get that logic. You get the same 7,000 on a cheaper one. [00:54:45] Maybe we'll skip those for now. All right, Tom gearing says instead of model to what follows Elan's joke. Name convention, the sexy would have been sexy except for it on the E I'm guessing the next C six models. Okay. All all right. So sorry. Shane was Sullivan. It's a bit surprising that Ford didn't go with the heat pump in the Maki. [00:55:07] Did they reverse engineer the model three and decided to copy them? Or there is a lot of similar similarities with the Maki and Tesla's vehicles. Heat pumps. It's not a new technology it's been around for awhile. I don't, I mean, I know Tesla did like the OCHA valve, which is supposed to be interesting, but if they wanted to, they could've probably put a heat pump. [00:55:27] I think it's just a cost and size constraint. All right. Moving on, Kevin for the ionic five colors of the ionic five. Oh yeah. So I guess we'll have to dig around. Maybe we'll get one of our artists. To mock up some cool [00:55:44] Fred Lambert: stuff. I think they released a bunch of them that might, there might be a configurator in Germany open or something. [00:55:50] Okay. [00:55:51] Seth Weintraub: I'll look into that. All right. Jose Dela Cruz asked if the Maki had a heat pump, it would increase its real-world range and the winter for sure [00:56:01] Fred Lambert: can argue. Yeah, I did test the Nike though in the winter and I was impressed by it. So just set that same. So yeah, [00:56:07] Seth Weintraub: we drove to Vermont in like single digit. [00:56:10] And it was fine. All right. Our Panasonic and LG chem getting into LFP seems like NMC is on a downward trend due to nickel cobalt. Yeah. [00:56:22]Fred Lambert: I don't know exactly the product roadmap for pass and I can in LG, but yeah, I mean, Desola is laid out. It's planned like four hour or shorter range vehicle are gonna use. [00:56:38] ILS, the mid range are going to use in an MC. I'm not getting these nickel and then high nickel for, for, for long range or demanding product, like the cyber truck and the Tesla semi and whatnot. And I think the broader industry is going to have to adapt to that. That means dish surprising if they don't. [00:56:59] Seth Weintraub: All right. Tristan ward asks any guesses on the ionic five price. So we, you know, rewind. We, we did a lot of guessing there. Some thinking it'll be between the ionic and Kona. Nope. It's going to be above the Kona looking great. 60 mile charge in five minutes, et cetera. Yeah. Kona. Kona is I mean, it's just dead in the water really. [00:57:19] I mean, I, I think [00:57:21] Fred Lambert: it depends on if the price is still better, you might, you know, it might go with that, but. Also some people might it's too radical, maybe the design, but I feel like it hit the Mark for me. Like it's, it's, it's new potentially radical, but it still works well. It's okay. [00:57:39] Seth Weintraub: It's the only car I'm kind of like, like really thinking about right now, but you know, obviously thinking about cyber trucks and Roadsters, but you know, ones that are going to be produced this year. [00:57:51] All right. Moving on Shannon Sullivan in Europe, ABB is providing a lot of the hardware to the identity network, which is what electrify America is called here. What is the predominant DC charge point? Electrify America is mostly ABB. They do most of the chargers, even ego, I think is. Mostly ABB [00:58:08]
