Hello from my other channel! iMiEV's rock! WTF happened Mitsubishi?

Thank you very much from france, just followed all your steps and found that a blue capacitor exactly where you showed it has popped up. no small card on my car directly 2 blue capacitors ( peugeot ion from 2011). now just have to buy spare part solder capacitor, change fuse and cross fingers !

Don't smash the gas pedal, It literately comes off! Don't tow a truck out of a ditch, the cheap Aluminum sub frame snaps in half! Don't get if OCD every panel doesn't line up, don't brush past the car, the dodgy build quality, something will cut you! Panels peel off, cause their glued! All Counter arguments have been lost!

Great video. Looks like an amazing drive. Do you just have the basic autopilot or the the enhanced one?

Utes are a bit like a Swiss Army knife. They can do a lot of things but nothing really well let alone safe. And like a heavy pocket knive they tend to pull your pants down. 99.9% you drive unloaded on a formed road carrying all that feel good gear with you for nothing. Australia's obsession with (large) utes is bonkers.....there was a time when the Toyota Corolla was the most sold vehicle in Oz....Ex Hilux 4x4 Dual cab Diesel owner here...now with EV (towing 1.85t max) and trailer.

well, waymo has logged millions of miles of autonomous driving on public roads, and Tesla has ZERO. but keep dreaming that dear leader will actually deliver on his promises for once... NEXT YEAR! or something....

People do not realise how hard it is to get a viable solution going. A prototype is not even 1% of the effort required.

Apple pulled out of this pipe dream. How do you drive a car that has no steering wheel into your garage? Your garage is not mapped into the gps map last time I checked.

Echo chamber ... Any rational mind should know by now that Musk says a lot of things but rarely delivers on any of them. Musk promised that there will be a million robotaxis on the US roads by 2019 and buying one at 33k would bring a profit of 200k. Five years later and he comes up with a quickly put together "prototype", come one guys, you can figure this out. Those yearly revolutionary announcements that never see the light of day serve a purpose, just one, and you should know what it is.

Waymo use lidar 😂

Over promise, under deliver

Well the bus is dumb af. Sure it looks pretty, but who wants to ride inside a coffin? There's a good reason buses have windows - it's to with us having eyes. Aaand...how does one inspect the tyres each morning or change a flat? Waymo has human remote control bunnies for those situations where the AI panics or is otherwise out if its depth. The cybercab is marginally interesting but it'll be decades before legislation would allow such a thing on the roads for real in 'Straya.....and I doubt it'll be Tesla. And even when it is allowed, you need to convince people to trust it. That's gonna be a hard sell for the mainstream.

Was very disappointed. Nothing of real substance presented. More a hype show.

JC who gives a crap about a "cool styled" bus? It's a bus. It looks fairly cool, but nothing new of useful note here except that it's less efficient than a standard bus. The software to actually execute on any of the actually useful autonomic tasks doesn't exist (not the "hey, look how cool" status of FSD right now), and just like competitive LLMs proliferated within months of ChatGPT it isn't likely to exist in some sort of giant silo that only Tesla will have. Looks like Elon saw iRobot while he was on a ketamine trip and decided to pretend that these designs are enough to prop up Tesla's stock price while his core car business starts to flatten, and it looks like there are enough Musk fanboys to fall for it once again.

Smarter folks than Tesla/Musk have realised that a camera only based system is not suitable or safe for the application of fully autonomous vehicle operations (that is why the competitors have based their offerings on multi-sensor systems) yet they are persisting with this methodology. You seem to base your opinions on your personal choice bias and the looks of the ''Robovan'' rather than it is engineering; which would be a technical nightmare for a fleet operator. Also why earth would you have a bus without windows (giving the traveller a better experience but also a greater degree of practicality for the riders) and as far as the ground clearance issue, there is already a vehicle that has minimal ground clearance, high passenger volumes, zero emissions and a high safety factor that runs in many cities - it is called a tram, but for wheeled vehicles the ground clearance would have to be greater as the requirement of running on the roads of the world are varied, the wheel spats would have to be removed at the front (as the wheels would have to pass outside the side of the bodywork to make a tight turn - or you have to move the wheels so far inboard that the ride quality and vehicle stability would be worrisome) the wheel spats at the rear would have to be removed so that pre-service safety checks on the wheel nuts, tyre condition, etc can be undertaken easily. Tesla know this so when/if they do put this into production it will have greater ground clearance, no covered wheels, windows for a better passenger experience, an ingress/egress door near the front of the vehicle for better passenger flow and will look ... like a bus, even then without lidar/radar sensors, full gps mapping as the primary sensors (with the camera acting as a polled sensor to confirm what the others are telling the vehicle) it would not get a safety certificate for public transportation. You should look at the engineering behind what Tesla have created rather than the aesthetics, and as far as 'it will eventually happen - all the Tesla cars are currently out of date compared to the market and have no product roadmap for their existing offerings, the roadster is nearly a decade late, the Cybertruck is a very niche product that isn't panning out how Elon expected, the Cyber-Semi is dead in the water, the longer range battery has yet to materialise, etc etc.

If the Robovan ends up for sale to individuals it's going to change how we live. Set up as a tiny home it will skirt around all the laws that are intended to stop people living in vehicles. Imagine your house delivers you to work and then drives off to sit on a charger, then picks you up after work and takes you somewhere nice for dinner. Then drives somewhere while you sleep. No need for land, no one knocking on the door saying "you can't park here".

The robotaxi will be very interesting in the future. I could see the robo bus replace all the busses, caravans and delivery vans, will be big. Wonder if the new model y will have steer by wire so the steering wheel can be off when running as a robotaxi? I have a feeling they will have a stripped down model y as an option when it is launched at the end of the year / next year. The cheaper model y would be like the mexico model 3. Will the new model y have power share? Won't hold my breath.

It's called a shave and a haircut you scruffy Aussie big mouth

The low views on this video had me in chock😮

Inductive Charging is a game changer.

I agree with most of what you say. As for Optimus, sign me up. If I can get a robot to do jobs around the house, I'm in. Oh, and Elon is awesome.

A lot of people cannot get their head around future tech. And because they can't, they reject it. I live 500km north/west of Sydney and I do talk to the locals about EVs and Solar. But when I offer them a test ride in my almost 400.000km Model S85P+ they go: Yeah.....naaaa....I'm good. Those who accept (mostly because their kids nag them) are too stunned to talk after the ride.

Thanks Rob for your commentary with your original thinking. As you say, the Robovan in particular will make a splash in our cities.

agree. most ICE cars are the same car with a differant logo.

I really hope this comes to Australia. Most people seem to be commenting on how ugly it is. Do they think that other car manufacturers are making great looking cars? 99% of what’s on the road these days looks like garbage. I own a model Y and a 100 series Landcruiser and also have an electric dirt bike. If I had a Cybertruck I could load the bike straight into the back and charge the bike’s battery from the power outlet in the back of the truck whenever I need to. Could also run any power tools or whatever equipment I might happen to need from wherever I happen to be. A 300 series Landcruiser would cost a similar price so I wouldn’t hesitate to fork out for one of these. The only impractical thing about this vehicle is the length as it wouldn’t fit in the average garage.

The first trip to Camerons Corner in a pure EV has just been completed by David Scott, who reported the feat on Facebook on 30 Sep 2024. Done in a Tesla Model 3 RWD.

Tell us the whole story of the down side of owning a Milk Float, please. I recently traveled to Port MacQuarie from Sydney and return in a 14 year old i30 and only put fuel in it once over a total of 750 ks , including local trips around Port etc and almost every day of the five nights we were there. That was a total fuel cost of $85 On the way up to Port MacQuarie we stopped every one to two hours for a wee or some grub and I made a note of every EV charge point I saw at every stop. All of them I saw were either faulty or had blank screens and at Karuah all of them were dead with one poor sod in his Tesla 3 on the phone trying to arrange rescue as he was down to 10% . I’m not saying Milk Floats are bad or useless, but, if EVs are ever going to be a serious alternative these problems need to be addressed. I think there is one aspect needed to be pointed out in your video. You obviously chose a better time to make your journey portraying an EV trip as basically “trouble free” motoring etc. However, get back to us when you have a trip at peak holiday period and you’re waiting two hours to get to a charge point when half of them or more have pooped in their electric trousers. Also, you might tell us your thoughts on EV fires and what risk assessment has been made by the industry into these vehicles? The Fremantle Highway fire was real and it involved EVs, despite what the EV evangelical crowd tell us. There are thousands of examples for all to see on TH-cam of EVs going into thermal runaway and once that happens there is no putting it out until all the fuel has been burned, not to mention the toxic shite that is emitted when an EV self ignites. Until we get these things right unfortunately it’s “future my arse”.

We’re there any on the Dutch Oven? 😂

You are so right. But the hope is chinese auto companies f**king up legacy auto.

They will come, but most likely from a manufacturer that hasn't got any fossil fuelled utes, so they have no interest in the current spare parts business, which will come as a shock and lead the game with the others in there dust.

You answered you own question. Most people who have utes use them for holidays camping ect. Now they may only do this once a year. But even if they never do it, they still want to be able to hook up the boat and drive 300km or more for the family holiday. Even with a 100kwh battery, with big tyres and towing 2t your range will be shit. Pehv makes much more sense. The battery is big enough to do your day in day out activities fully electric but you can still go on big trips without range anxiety.

Lmao why the fuck wants an EV Ute. What an impractical waste of resources

My cousin got herself a BYD Sealion just shy of 3 months now. She drives to work and back using full electric mode only and charged her sealion every night in the garage. She hasn't refilled her petrol tank yet thus far:)

You can upgrade gvm pre rego will be cheaper post rego is expensive

Byd making f150 size full EV already with RH drive. Will be 30 to 40k less that those converted Silverado/f150 or RAMs

Your theory on Utes seems sound and reasoned to You...... But as all the accessories are not controlled or benefited by the manufacturer is an utterly flawed theory at best. I suspect that you are missing the point that like for like ev's compared to IC's are much heavier, accounting for battery mass to gain range. But by the time you do this to a Ute/Commercial (which are not exactly featherweights to start with) the overall gross mass becomes so large that componentary such as tyres, suspension and brakes need massive upgrade in quality and cost to become uneconomic or market limiting. Also carrying capacity and towing capacity are greatly reduced, especially if trying to keep to class norms. There's no market for a ute with payload capacity of 200kg or only 0.5T towing capacity. They may also infringe too heavily on taking the ute into different registration brackets and licence requirements to operate.....

$10 per hour for 11KwH charging. Hmm, that's pricey.

EVs have thier place for certain use cases however still need a bit of development to be able to replace a ute. Reason utes are so popular is the versatility, family wagon during the week, touring on the weekend, towing, off roading, beach driving etc. Granted not every weekend they get used like this but plenty do, EVs downside at the moment revolve around... GVM (payload) Towing (yes 2.5 is on the low end) Range especially whilst doing the above, believe cyber truck gets less than 100 miles whilst towing 3.5 tonne. Resale value EVs are not selling at the rate they were with more hybrid options coming available the natural consumer shift is towards these vehicles so why would manufacturers build something that will likely not sell 🤔 Over the next 2-3 years hybrid ute's will become the default offering a great mix of capability and range, can see it in the car segment now. EV sales stalling or trending backwards, Hybrids up 60-80%.

Where are the EV station wagons???

The shark looks like a stepping stone to full EV. The architecture should allow extra batteries to replace the petrol motor to make a full EV

BYD Shark 6 is the wild card, Utes from the majors are cash cows.

80 in 110 zone? Is your AC on? 😂

7:16 can you fit your golf clubs in the boot?

@5.58 I had to listen to that a couple of times. Heat seaters?? 😅

RS electronic do have the required capacitors. About €5 for a pack of 10.

What 3 phse plugs do most of the charging outlets use? 5 pin or 3 pin ?.
