Hi John. I’m never ceased to be amazed how vitriolic some commentators can be , but at the same time I do find it quite funny . I’m also fully aware that this is in reality, water of a ducks back. To even contemplate going on TH-cam , is probably best served with an appropriate thick skin . So definitely not for the faint hearted , although I definitely enjoy your company , my other benefit is the knowledge I’ve acquired with regard to the science behind the motor industry .

In my opinion, you've turned profanity into an art and you are a master. I've heard mechanics, sailors, truck drivers, plumbers, and welders and you put them all too shame.

Mate an EV reportedly burned down a new beach house and destroyed the neighbours house in Coopers Beach New Zealand yesterday. Parked in the garage and boom up it went.
I just watched "How much fuel does an engine burn driving downhill?", comments disabled. In many regions, it is illegal for automotive operators to put the vehicle into neutral because the vehicle becomes a potential projectile that is not being controlled. The same is true for a towed camper that cannot contain any occupants, in Canada at least. If for some reason the hitch between the vehicle and the camper becomes broken, the camper could become an uncontrolled projectile with a random destination of death. That would suck dude! Respect John!
Keep up your descriptive language John. I find it easy to understand and its colourful nature brings me happiness. It takes me to a time in the 1970’s when colourful and descriptive language was normal, as a infantryman in the British army we only conversed in said language.
I like these vids. Sometimes when I'm up late at night, I sit here giggling at some of the comments. In a Gimp suit. well only in Winter, too sticky in Summer.
John, I don't have anything negative to say about your videos or about your *_HUMOR_* but if I did it would be an *_HONOR_* to be on the receiving end of your articulate criticism, thank you and please keep it up as your critics deserve all that you give them!!! 😀
Why do people get so emotional about about your opinions on things? I found your content entertaining and I always enjoy multiple perspectives on technologies. I typically find your engineering and math to be accurate but not always complete. Thanks for the video John. I always enjoy your candor
I like people who don't bullshit to me. I'm not an idiot, and I don't appreciate being treated as such. I also do appreciate straightforward talk, and the ability to save my money, and avoid frustrations. An additional appreciation is the mocking of know it all idiots in "the voice" This is the Aussie way, unlike some of the alternatives. Thanks John (dude) GB in Brisbane. 👍👍👍
I’m glad that you acknowledge that it was the retrofit that was the problem with the cement truck; not BEVs in general. I dig the irony of an environmentally sensitive cement company, given that cement production is incredibly environmentally damaging. A bit like the tobacco companies adding filters to their cancer sticks. What will you say when LFP batteries are standard? Zeekr’s new Golden battery has apparently been subjected to 8hrs at -45C, then the heat of 1000C, and it still worked when replaced in the car. 500km range in 15 minutes, too.
lol... and then seamlessly, shamelessly plugs the Bluetti power pack. Hes opinion is not easily brought at all. I us to think it was non bias journalism but i can see clearly now. shame on you mate.

I would love to see a bushfire test of a bluetti large powerplant. Tesla powerwall , the others .. Or 4 of them put in a pottery oven... Just to see how far the device needs to be installed away from a house structure..... As those tests need to be done .. and a national register for firefighters to know what houses have them, like they have for every house with a pool.
They were done. By the manufacturers. And the same was done to the Kia eNero. None of the details were made public. Come the end of March, StacheD will share the results of a Hyundai Kona EV fire in lab conditions

That was one cell. .. then I ran into the kitchen, thinking a firebomb explosive was tossed into the house.. then the other went in my face ..... Scary stuff , beyond anything I've ever experienced.... They were all overcharged. And everyone needs to see it in person ...

If an EVangelist's EV set fire to and burned down his house, he would inevitably blame the fuel in his cigarette lighter. PS: on the subject of "excrément", I don't remember if I mentioned that the French for a "turd" is "étron". Does that remind you of something?
Question please JC about the Bluetti Power Stations. Any chance you could please put up a video of a portable petrol generator charging up the Bluetti power station with 240 AC? Another channel (Homesteading Uncontained) put up a video in the last week where they tried to charge a different brand lithium battery power station with their generator & the power station wouldn’t accept charge from it. Something about the output from the generator not being “clean enough” (correct hertz, watts or voltage or some such).🤷♂️ So they went out and bought a new fancy sine wave petrol generator & the power station wouldn’t accept the charge from that either. I’m looking at buying a Bluetti 200 to help extend the run time on my Companion 75 litre portable fridge freezer which has its on 48 AH lithium battery inbuilt, but only runs the fridge for 16 hours-ish, so a Bluetti in the back seat would extend my run time out to a couple days hopefully, but on cloudy rainy days, I would like the option to be able to recharge everything with the little Honda 2.0 petrol generator in the absence of sun & solar blanket chargers of sufficient capacity. I don’t want to buy the Bluetti & find out afterwards that my portable generator won’t charge it is all. I figure you have a little gen set & Bluetti power stations and could maybe run the experiment for me maybe? Might make an interesting video topic maybe? Thanks in Advance if you’re able to assist. Can’t post the link to Homesteading Uncontained video about their off grid power problems or TH-cam Algorithm deletes my comment unfortunately. Cheers & keep up the good work. Mooney. 😜😂👍
I admit that I do not use a lot of shit talk, as I save it for when I want to add emphasis. I do not disapprove of shit talk, in general, but it does bother me that some people seem to use it for punctuation. Could you imagine if Shakespeare used shit talk for punctuation? To be, hell, or not to be, shit. That is the question, motherfucker! Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, fuck that! Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, damn straight, and by opposing, end that shit.
John what do you think of the one sided contracts of car retailers. I have a Toyota contract and have had 4 price increases and been told due to the long delays by Toyota now they wish to redo the contract to drop the price of my Toyota that they offered $37000 originally. I am started to feel violated after the costant insertions by the Toyota dealer.
9:55 min. "Nobody complains after they wake up dead" Reminds me of that classic line from the (comedy) movie Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze. I think it was Corey Feldman's character said, "it was hell when the Russians arrived . . . people would wake up with their throats slashed!"
Not relevent to this, but here in New Zealand this weekend there was a major house fire at a settlement called Cooks Beach, which was caused by an electric car on charge and it destroyed 3 houses
"Dickhead's In The Comments" by John Cadogan. That's the kind of book I'd love to give people for Christmas. Possibly paired with a trimmer. Merry Christmas.
11:10 Declan Brady might want to the watch the crash-test between a 1959 Bel Air and a 2009 Chev - on UTube. The old car folded like an empty milk-carton. Whereas occupants of the 2009 car would likely have simply stepped-out and had the gut-wrenching experience of watching the occupants of the 1959 car die. The Difference is that stark.
If you want a laugh watch Lee the MacMaster's video on when he meets some EVangelists in Teneriefe who assume the motor under the hood on their first gen Nissan Leaf is the battery and that its the best thing since sliced bread.
Tenerife is about 2000 square kilometers of land, and if one doesn’t use it to make multiple deliveries a day or as a taxi, a Nissan Leaf probably has enough range if one has a proper charging setup at home. Lee quixotically tries driving his electric Porsche all over Britain, an island over 100 times larger. It also doesn’t get very cold on Tenerife.
A lot more angst John - mortgage rates getting to you? Lack of action in the sack?? Will keep watching to see your show flat spin, flamed out into the terrain of TH-cam irrelevance!! Alternatively you could do some insightful car reviews using your abundant technical knowledge as an antidote to the commercial content out there. Will be interesting to see if you walk towards the light, or fall into the clutches of the dark side.
John as a tenured and rehabilitated ex car salesman, I appreciate your content (almost always). In my 'spare' time I am a volunteer firefighter and see the data on electric car fires.... I am looking to replace my 2020 Holden Acadia LTZ-V AWD which has done over 220,000ks with a reliable semi-luxury 7 seater that tows 2T plus. Open to suggestions!
John I have noticed the moaners have given up with their dogma facts and have moved onto personnel insults now. This is a characteristic of a person who has lost the argument and means you win. Your profound adjectives are excellent and add extra attention to the wallies (and our entertainment) who don't understand properly and have that glazed look trying to take in too much information into their tiny brains. Read an article in the Guardian today about the stupidly big SUV's and how the French are resorting to taxing, however I noticed a small note on the Tesla Urinal that they will not be imported into Europe because the weight classifies it as a truck and you can't drive it on a car license being over 3000kg. Sadly UK drivers will be able to drive it because our license limit is 3500 KG.
We should all be more kind this time of year. I rescued a pigeon from the middle of the road a while back. It was just flapping and looking tragic. Thought it would just die for sure but I took it in and called it Elon. Now it's starting to get on my nerves. Just shits on everything and can't leave a window open or it gets back in. Just a little stretch of the imagination should sort it.
Greetings from a long time viewer and a recent Subscriber. Simple question from me. Perhaps that has been asked and answered before but... Regarding the apparent EV uptake and our available supply of Coal sourced elektrickery in Oztralia (NSW to be specific), who is championing nuclear/atomic power for the generation of elektrikery? Which political party has it on it's agenda? I do realise that Three Mile Island/Chernobyl/Fukushima have happened but each one of those has been a lesson that we have learned from. So, what would be the realistic timeliness of Oztralia adopting Nuklear Power? It seems that we need all of the Amps and Volts that we need but don't have a way to produce them without Coal.
Surely nuclear has to be the future. Not for any carbon-related reason (there are doubts as to whether CO2 is the driver anyway) but for avoiding resource depletion - we'll need plastics for the long term, and they mostly come from oil.
My wife cant stand it when I'm watching your videos. She states that in this whole world she can't believe there is a Australian counter part to me and that makes 2 of us...lol. As I turn up the volume...thanks for being you( not that you needed me to say so)

The Australian weaponization of the English language is second to none, and will go down in history as legendary!
Thank you 👍
If an EVangelist's EV set fire to and burned down his house, he would inevitably blame the fuel in his cigarette lighter.
PS: on the subject of "excrément", I don't remember if I mentioned that the French for a "turd" is "étron". Does that remind you of something?
Mmmmm I love the smell of that Etron Musk fragrance.
Message received loud and clear, thanks for the insight.
Question please JC about the Bluetti Power Stations.
Any chance you could please put up a video of a portable petrol generator charging up the Bluetti power station with 240 AC?
Another channel (Homesteading Uncontained) put up a video in the last week where they tried to charge a different brand lithium battery power station with their generator & the power station wouldn’t accept charge from it.
Something about the output from the generator not being “clean enough” (correct hertz, watts or voltage or some such).🤷♂️
So they went out and bought a new fancy sine wave petrol generator & the power station wouldn’t accept the charge from that either.
I’m looking at buying a Bluetti 200 to help extend the run time on my Companion 75 litre portable fridge freezer which has its on 48 AH lithium battery inbuilt, but only runs the fridge for 16 hours-ish, so a Bluetti in the back seat would extend my run time out to a couple days hopefully, but on cloudy rainy days, I would like the option to be able to recharge everything with the little Honda 2.0 petrol generator in the absence of sun & solar blanket chargers of sufficient capacity.
I don’t want to buy the Bluetti & find out afterwards that my portable generator won’t charge it is all.
I figure you have a little gen set & Bluetti power stations and could maybe run the experiment for me maybe?
Might make an interesting video topic maybe?
Thanks in Advance if you’re able to assist.
Can’t post the link to Homesteading Uncontained video about their off grid power problems or TH-cam Algorithm deletes my comment unfortunately.
Cheers & keep up the good work.
Mooney. 😜😂👍
Ian, I have no problem charging my 200MAX with my 2kw Briggs and Stratton pure sinewave gennie.
@@davidfrench507 Awesome, thanks heaps David, very much appreciated mate, cheers. 👍
Yes, and by popular demand, the return of Hughjanus!
I admit that I do not use a lot of shit talk, as I save it for when I want to add emphasis. I do not disapprove of shit talk, in general, but it does bother me that some people seem to use it for punctuation. Could you imagine if Shakespeare used shit talk for punctuation?
To be, hell, or not to be, shit. That is the question, motherfucker!
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, fuck that!
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, damn straight, and by opposing, end that shit.
John what do you think of the one sided contracts of car retailers. I have a Toyota contract and have had 4 price increases and been told due to the long delays by Toyota now they wish to redo the contract to drop the price of my Toyota that they offered $37000 originally. I am started to feel violated after the costant insertions by the Toyota dealer.
Go buy something else.
For all your faults John we love all dig you dude. The Mrs has called you the modern day “Molly” after all we never saw him without his hat. MALS
9:55 min. "Nobody complains after they wake up dead"
Reminds me of that classic line from the (comedy) movie Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze. I think it was Corey Feldman's character said, "it was hell when the Russians arrived . . . people would wake up with their throats slashed!"
Brilliant again John!
Not relevent to this, but here in New Zealand this weekend there was a major house fire at a settlement called Cooks Beach, which was caused by an electric car on charge and it destroyed 3 houses
"Dickhead's In The Comments" by John Cadogan. That's the kind of book I'd love to give people for Christmas. Possibly paired with a trimmer. Merry Christmas.
11:10 Declan Brady might want to the watch the crash-test between a 1959 Bel Air and a 2009 Chev - on UTube.
The old car folded like an empty milk-carton.
Whereas occupants of the 2009 car would likely have simply stepped-out and had the gut-wrenching experience of watching the occupants of the 1959 car die.
The Difference is that stark.
LOVE FROM ENGLAND.
Industrial Grade Shit got us.
David and Lily.
Great! Can you do a top quibs of 2023 for New Years?
LMAO ! - I got my laughs for the day..... ty you John !
John, have you checked out Edison Motors hybrid diesel electric trucks?
If you want a laugh watch Lee the MacMaster's video on when he meets some EVangelists in Teneriefe who assume the motor under the hood on their first gen Nissan Leaf is the battery and that its the best thing since sliced bread.
Tenerife is about 2000 square kilometers of land, and if one doesn’t use it to make multiple deliveries a day or as a taxi, a Nissan Leaf probably has enough range if one has a proper charging setup at home. Lee quixotically tries driving his electric Porsche all over Britain, an island over 100 times larger.
It also doesn’t get very cold on Tenerife.
A lot more angst John - mortgage rates getting to you? Lack of action in the sack?? Will keep watching to see your show flat spin, flamed out into the terrain of TH-cam irrelevance!! Alternatively you could do some insightful car reviews using your abundant technical knowledge as an antidote to the commercial content out there. Will be interesting to see if you walk towards the light, or fall into the clutches of the dark side.
You need to consider stronger meds.
John as a tenured and rehabilitated ex car salesman, I appreciate your content (almost always). In my 'spare' time I am a volunteer firefighter and see the data on electric car fires....
I am looking to replace my 2020 Holden Acadia LTZ-V AWD which has done over 220,000ks with a reliable semi-luxury 7 seater that tows 2T plus.
Open to suggestions!
I love you plutoniumly too, John.
17:16 Awsome rebuttals. I wonder if Tee Pees can handle what is to come
JC for prime mincer ...vote now ! 👍
There is not alternative to cement as yet unfortunately, unless we go back to wood!
I just listen in for my bit of Australiana. Gday from Budapest.
Nice one John. Keep putting out the truth and upsetting the followers of Electric Jesus and those that can't spell.
We love you too, keep up the good work John, Pity you are not based in Ireland, We could do with you here. Cars are far too expensive.
John I have noticed the moaners have given up with their dogma facts and have moved onto personnel insults now. This is a characteristic of a person who has lost the argument and means you win. Your profound adjectives are excellent and add extra attention to the wallies (and our entertainment) who don't understand properly and have that glazed look trying to take in too much information into their tiny brains. Read an article in the Guardian today about the stupidly big SUV's and how the French are resorting to taxing, however I noticed a small note on the Tesla Urinal that they will not be imported into Europe because the weight classifies it as a truck and you can't drive it on a car license being over 3000kg. Sadly UK drivers will be able to drive it because our license limit is 3500 KG.
We should all be more kind this time of year.
I rescued a pigeon from the middle of the road a while back.
It was just flapping and looking tragic.
Thought it would just die for sure but I took it in and called it Elon.
Now it's starting to get on my nerves.
Just shits on everything and can't leave a window open or it gets back in.
Just a little stretch of the imagination should sort it.
Can you please do a review of Edison Motors diesel electric trucks please John?
Greetings from a long time viewer and a recent Subscriber.
Simple question from me. Perhaps that has been asked and answered before but...
Regarding the apparent EV uptake and our available supply of Coal sourced elektrickery in Oztralia (NSW to be specific), who is championing nuclear/atomic power for the generation of elektrikery? Which political party has it on it's agenda?
I do realise that Three Mile Island/Chernobyl/Fukushima have happened but each one of those has been a lesson that we have learned from.
So, what would be the realistic timeliness of Oztralia adopting Nuklear Power?
It seems that we need all of the Amps and Volts that we need but don't have a way to produce them without Coal.
Surely nuclear has to be the future. Not for any carbon-related reason (there are doubts as to whether CO2 is the driver anyway) but for avoiding resource depletion - we'll need plastics for the long term, and they mostly come from oil.
My wife cant stand it when I'm watching your videos. She states that in this whole world she can't believe there is a Australian counter part to me and that makes 2 of us...lol. As I turn up the volume...thanks for being you( not that you needed me to say so)
wait until he cuts to the hot babes just as she glances over.
@@kimchristensen2175 LOL. she'll Just give me that squinty side eye...We've been together way to long for that issue
Yes I love the shit you talk. Some of your shit even makes sense.
I would be great if you could do more car tests like your recent test on the Mitsubishi outlander
Regards,
Fiji Dave
The only people who think John talks sh!t are the ones being butthurt by facts.
