"as long as you follow the building code, we don't care what you do" ok, that makes sense. Golden, BC sounds like a GREAT place
It’s a very common sense approach
Does this apply in the city as well? Considering moving there and building my own house.
I hope there’s still some kind of minimum code enforcement though. Like at least an inspection. Building codes exist for a reason and enforcement of such codes literally saves lives and prevents disasters.
@@GW71093especially when it vomes to fire safety and chemical safety. Building codes related to fire safety is a huge reason why we don't see the massive fires that destroy a couple of blocks of a city or town just because one building blew up in flames.
@@lisagravells802 the town is its own municipality and is not as easygoing with permits as the RDEK around it. Most rural munis in BC, AB, and SK are so small and understaffed they don't have time or budget to buy a roll of red tape. Get into an urban muni and it can get bizarre at times.
Congratulations, and welcome to Golden.
If I look it up on maps they are in Donald, does that belong to golden or am I wrong?
We couldn’t have found a better spot. We’re all so excited
@@EdisonMotors It Must be awesome to own a huge piece of land and can do pretty much what you want with it!
Those House spots are absolutely beautiful!
@@LasseAlber Donald BC is just a small town (that's pretty much just for production/work) north of golden , so most people include that in the golden area
@@dapperwalrus1397 Ok that is what I was thinking, thank you very much!
This is a Golden opportunity. Very happy for you.
Holy shit! What an absolutely AMAZING property. That view is incredible.
Eventually you should do the Waitabit Truck Stop. Since you are on the Trans Canada Highway I think a truck stop is a great idea. Not only can you have some local food trucks serve fresh food, but also what a better way to sell trucks than to have them take a test drive a Edison Truck while they take their mandatory break. Eventually you will have a trucker’s paradise.
Especially if you have charging stations for cars and truck. Convert those ev owners over to Edison Hybrid.
@@wild_lee_coyote Drive in with a diesel, leave with a hybrid!
Visit Edison-Land in Golden. Stay at the motel, or airbnb streamside cabins. Go fishing, hiking, skiing. Eat at the roadside diner while you charge your BEV from the on-site renewable solar farm. Take the property tour in Babe the restored giant blue LeTourneau diesel electric road train. Walk down the visitor walkway with windows to see Edison trucks being made. Spend a day wrenching on your truck. Shop at the mini convenience store. Land on the convenient helicopter pad or bush plane gravel runway that is part of the test track.
Also put some classic trucks on display, a museum of sorts. I'm sure this will become a must visit destination.
Well that settles it, I know where I'm moving when you guys grow and go on a hiring binge. I don't care if I gotta sweep floors for 10 bucks an hour to prove myself, but this is the kinda company I want to work for. I'm done with "jobs" I want a career. I got a class one with well over a million miles of safe driving, and I'm a pro on forklifts and warehousing. Expect my resume soon boys!
Leave some Kool-Aid for everybody else. 🤦
But are you forklift certified?
@@unimog401 if only you knew how stupidly easy it is to get certified.
@@whatusernameis5295 Facts, My cert was a joke, any dumbass can have "don't leave the cage if your mess up" drilled into them. The math and such for safe lifting height is pretty important though.
@@derek04151 With housing prices in some places right now, the ability to build your own home on that beautiful property is worth quite a bit. Other comments already want to pay for fishing vacation rental cabins.
That’s so close to where I live. It’s amazing to think your company is pioneering somewhere so close to me.
Bravo buddy. GOLDEN is a great little town. I lived there for years. Looks like you are up the valley towards Blenkensop. Beauty!
My aunt and uncle lived and worked on that property in the late 60's/early 70's. A great spot on planet earth. Congrats!
Nice, it’s such a beautiful piece of earth
GREAT NEWS and I love that local government is hands off! What an amazing asset to Golden!
I’m happy for you boys. Well deserved
Building your own town, the most western style possible. How cool is that?! The gold rush of diesel-electric. Beautiful place, congrats!
Nice, you can get out of a tent. Love your company and the goals
Heating and insulation sounds like such a luxury right now
@@EdisonMotors I bet. Especially since you're up in Canada
But it is a good tent.
Beautiful property very cool congrats fellas
Im so glad you guys found a home for your families and Edison Motors. You guys deserve this! Much love from chiliwack!
Congratulations. How about building one more of those cabins in a beautiful spot and rent it out to your shareholder visitors by the night so we can stop and show you what we've done with our Edison trucks (once we get one) and get a plant tour. Looks like a beautiful area and a great place for a mini vacation.
If we can raise enough to cover the initial costs of building the cabins that is absolutely the plan
@@EdisonMotors industrial tourism!
I was thinking along similar lines, with cabins people could rent for the fishing?
Having the ability to build employee housing on that beautiful property could be a selling point for companies who maybe only need office space or a small shop. I can imagine a business incubator on-site. Founders & early employees are the types to want to live & work close together. Add in the views and the good business climate and I'm seeing the sales brochures write themselves in my head lol.
Lol I'd love to be able to have a place to stay, I come to Golden on average once or twice a year but it's getting more and more expensive to do so.
Will exchange software engineering time for a room 😂
Congratulations on Ram Ranch!
I love their theme song 🎵
@@dingusflingus😂
Just amazing. Well done. Put your employees on your property and they will work hard for you.
Theres Gold in them there hills !
My son lives in Golden, Colorado , I live in Goldendale , WA.
Congratulations 🎉 love from Alaska
Golden sounds BASED with their building code. Least it's not a bunch of Karens. Glad you guys are making the next huge step. Soon full production can start. Next couple years are going to be great!
It sounds like a fantastic place for a startup, and hopefully Golden can keep their ethos for as long as possible before Karens and NIMBYs start buying property and then complaining about the "dirty noisy trucks next door". That's generally how regulations appear at the municipal level.
@@TROPtastic It's a regional district, not a municipality.
Ram Ranch, huh? Yep, nothing weird to read into there.
I, for one, understood this reference and LOVE IT
Ram charger Ranch
Sounds like a great place to be!
Just be aware. If you clear the trees on the hill it could create serious erosion into a landslide and take your house with it.
Looks like a great place though!
congrats on getting a property!
This video made me wanna quit my job and move to Canada and start working with you guys.😊
BC born and native. Thanks for keeping it in Canada and even BC i hope i can watch a strong BC company grow and prosper, especially in light of recent cross border relations and as a Canadian engineer in training.
Get your corrupt government out of the way, so that you can restart your economy, retool to a "production/domestic"-based economy rather than a globalized "export-based" economy..... and this "Trade War" can end. We here in the states want the best for Canucks, too, but we all in the Western World have let our governments slide too far, and we need to hold each-other accountable for standing up as men and putting things right in our respective countries.
Watching this video I cannot help but get the sense that I am watching history and legacy making itself. In 40 years this will be the home plant for a giant industrial equipment manufacturing company. The sky is not even the limit for you guys. ❤
Bloody hell that river looks good! I would love to live there! :)
Spent most of my weekends in golden as a teenager skiing in the winter. Fantastically beautiful community!
This is incredible! So excited to see this new chapter unfold. Also, Kudo's to the town of Golden!
Gosh dang guys, you've found heaven on earth. I think God is an investor in you guys too.
Golden gets it!
Can't believe I bought a place in Golden 😂 that's awesome guys!
It's your land, do whatever you want on it.
FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!
In Canada!
Of course there will be a patio to enjoy and without doubt it will be named Edison Terrace. A reminder to those of limited vision.
LOL!! I second the notion. "Edison Terrace" :)
Amazing. Keep up the good work. Many of us non-code / non-permit / non-conformist kind of people are behind you 100%.
Wow I think I am going to Golden.
That's awesome that's how government should be, you should be able to do what you want on your own property. 👍
Congrats. Beautiful spot to keep your spiritual batteries charged after work
Congrats. What a wonderful life you have done, it is a life time. You have picked the right spot.
4:34 I did not expect to see a clip of Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling on an Edison Motors video!
As a Finn 🇫🇮 there’s gotta be a great spot for multiple SAUNAS there.
One small step for a human, but a big step for the mankind. Protect this treasure at all cost!
Rock Stars!!
This is fantastic news for Edison Motors and the Edison team I'm so glad that this deal went through and that you all were able to acquire this amazing property that has so much growth possibilities and potential not to mention the property is just absolutely beautiful. Good luck and congratulations
Fantastic and super impressive that you included a video for the local fishing guy. Way to help grow the friendship, excellent work all of you.🙂😎👍
Gotta support local business
Looks like you guys are starting a village. Homes. Shop. Saloon. Sweet!
Golden is a beautiful city! My scout group got to be part of the international jamboree held there a few years ago, that trip was my first ever mountain rescue
This is great news, Congrats guys!
I wonder how many times someone affirmed what I ways saying and said " you're Golden"! I think you guys are literally Golden!!
Seriously!!
Woohoo!!! This is a beautiful day to hear that y'all are up and have the property!!!
So pumped for you guys, keep it up! Show the cabins as they're being built too. Entire location is gorgeous!
Awesome! As soon as I saw the teaser video about the land I knew that was gonna be home. Absolutely prime location
Wow, amazing news guys!!
What a great announcement, very happy for you folks!
I wish all USA communities were like Golden BC with that Ethos.... gezz. Awesome!
I feel like you’re rubbing it in at this point 😂 I am both incredibly jealous and incredibly happy for you guys. Keep the hard work going 👌
Congratulations
Chace, I love your stedfast commitment to your core values. Your practice of what you preach is greatly admired! You are building so much more than "just another campany"... With the foundational culture you live by and supported by likeminded investors, you are nurturing something so much more valuable than a mere commercial empire... Sir! You are building a community! 🥰🙌🏼
I'm just an Aussie bloke thats never been to Canada and know nothing of Golden, BC. I'm certain it's a slice of paradise with a rich community already, but you have undoubtedly just added immeasurable wealth to the wellbeing and quality of life to the region!!
Big! Big! Love! Brother! 😊✌🏼
I never thought about it but I guess it makes sense that such a rural location wouldn't need to have such a process for typical planning permission
Great location with some awesome views 👌
Not the ram ranch and broke back mountain references 😂
Thanks!
Congratulations on the property purchase Guys! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Congratulations Chace and Edison Team. Been great to watch it all from the beginning. Here's to the future.
Very best wishes for your business in the new location.
Good on ya boys. Be sure to put a merch shack close to the highway so folks can grab a hat and stickers when they cruise by.
Suggestion:
If at all possible make use of the existing warehouse:
Put the tent, structures, storage, etc inside the building.
Load up the roof with solar and a nice battery bank on the side.
Is it viable for the gravel pit and mill to have access and use of the rail spur?
Are tne sewage/septic systems capable of handling the present and near future needs?
It should be like this across the country! No permits.
I feel the 🇨🇦 spirit in Tim Hortons double doubles, luckie lager and caribou beer. Edison Motors has Canadian spirit. Shoutout from Van island you mad lad 🤘
What a great location!
Congratulations, Golden is a great town to locate to.
Congrats! It will be exciting to see your property develop.
You did part of your video in front of one of the buildings I designed in Golden. Our team is excited to see what you do.
Good luck with your build out!
You are going to need a gift shop, will be stopping by next time through Golden.
With a display for little toy Topsy trucks :)
My wife will be running our onsite Merch store, we have also ordered DieCast models of our truck.
-Theron
Congratulations everyone.
I can't think of a more beautiful place to change the world from. one small piece at a time.
Good for you guys and good for Golden! Congratulations everyone.
In these tough times it's great to follow a group of smart people chasing the Canadian dream. Thank you for the inspiration and hope that change for the future is still alive. CongrTulations and good luck team Edison!
The name is so fitting. Golden.
This is probably the best location for your new endeavors. Congratulations 🎊 👏
Good things come to those who wait? I hope this will provide the right place for you to build your dream. Good luck.
It's almost unbelievable what you've accomplished in spite of living in BC
What a great spot to run the business and live. The company barbecues are going to be awesome with that river beach. Exciting times!
What a beautiful area.
Keep being good neighbours. It's good to be free from too much bureaucracy.
When you get going, in a year or so, I love to tour the plant.
What a Golden opportunity for edison. Hoping the road ahead of Edison is smooth and outfitted with many to come new edison trucks and inventions
Things are beginning to pick up steam!! Forward and Onwards!!
Awesome guys goid luck with everything
AWESOME CONGRATS EVERYONE!
Congratulations!
I can’t wait to watch you build and develop this amazing project
All I can say is YAHOO , Ben from Alliance Alberta
Best of luck, very happy and proud to see this happening in BC, all the best!
Pretty cool how all in you guys are in on this. Planning house lots right on your industrial development site. Sounds like a great town and certainly a beautiful place.
What a perk for future employees! "If you're willing to stay with us long term, you can build your own house right on the land we have."
Congratulations guys. You’re going forward to build your great factory for building trucks and the community and no permits for your factories that’s a number one once again congratulations guys
America should take some lessons about zoning from Golden, BC
Congratulations.
Golden is beautiful and welcoming.
And you have epic mountains to test your trucks hauling prowess.
Dang fellers, those are beautiful sites! Theron I just said when I saw Chase's spot, "At least you don't have to worry about flooding out!"
Vacationed in Golden for the first time in November and it was amazing, even though all the summer stuff was closed and the winter stuff had not opened yet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND = Q's Restaurant!!
I wish I had the money to invest in your company I believe in what you're doing all the best.
Westinghouses, nice, keep the electric wars going. Love it. You guys are awesome.
