They say the first sign of insanity is not learning from Your mistakes
No first sign of insanity is looking for hairs on the palms of your hands. 🧐
@@kevinmott6205
The second sign is finding them!😂
🙃🤪😜😵😋spot on🤯🥳🥸😎🧐
The first sign is talking to yourself. The second is arguing with yourself. And the third is arguing with yourself and losing the arguments. Lee does this occasionally.
50 grand for a battery powered skoda ,who would have thought it .
Used to call them skips on wheels
At trade-in, the wheels will be worth something.
That’s crazy money imagine an ex demo petrol car you could have a massive choice.
Most of the 'ground breaking' features of this Skoda were fitted as standard on Volvo's
over 40 years ago, and Volvo are Swedish not German.
and to best of my knowledge Volvo are the only brand with the bonnet airbag system on several of their brand, for over a decade, for the well being of cyclists and pedestrians who cleanly roll and arrest with minimal injury in event of a frontal impact if the City Safety arrest radar has not fully automatically stopped the Volvo in time. One further dilution of safety for many is the deep collision frontage presentation due to deepened vehicles to accommodate the plasma bricks. I have survived three totalled Volvos and a test pilot friend always drove them as he liked to stay vital "so he could continue to justify his highly remunerated adrenaline and brown trouser contingency planning in the cockpit". Intelligent and technology are just advertising buzzwords of little integrity when analyzed critically on merit. From a Risk assessment stance no EV would be permitted; money has cleared changed hands behind closed doors.
Volvo Car Group is owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding of China
@@barronsclose Yes they are now. But not when proper Volvos were made, 1970's, 80's and 90's.
In 1910 electric cars made no sense. In 2024 electric cars make no sense.....🤪
In 1910 they made a lot of sense as to start an ancient ICE involved hand cranking the old asthmatic crappy lump and breaking your wrist.
It wasn't until electric start came along it became less dangerous.
Have a look at Jay Leno garage for some great car history,from someone who has all types of cars and more.
In 1910, cars probably used lead acid batteries and had a range of a few miles. In 2024, electric cars have ranges of hundreds of miles. To maximise the issue of range anxiety and cost, Lee has to do long distance challenges and minimise home charging. Also, in 1910 there were a tiny number of cars on the road whereas today there are over 30 million, which have a huge impact on transport CO2 emissions as well as more localised air pollution with Nitrous Oxides and particulates. EVs are clearly a step in the right direction but we really need to cut down on car use by reducing car dependency.
@@johnmcconville6055Cars were a major improvement on horse drawn vehicles - not just in terms of speed. Horses made the streets filthy and encouraged flies that spread disease. They were dangerous as they are difficult to control and would sometimes bolt (as we saw with those horses in London last week). Also, a horse drawn vehicle took up much more road space than a car. Whilst its probably true that average traffic speed in London is not much greater than a century ago, capacity has increased considerably.
The sales guy summed it up perfectly: They have a place in the market. A PLACE. They are not the SOLUTION or REPLACEMENT for ICE's.
@shanewaterman4125 I enjoyed his honesty and he's right.
Not everyone wants an electric box to drive round in
A parking ticket clip! Wow. Like every volvo I've ever owned.
The best electric car was built by Scalectrix.
So this is the secret of boosting EV sales. If you return your faulty EV and have it exchanged for another, thats 2 sales of EV's. Very smart!
Lee wont knock the EVs on the head ......have you seen the amount of view's he gets with his EV vlogs 👍
Don't blame him. Good business plan. Gammons hate EVs, easy pickings. Just make videos pretending EVs are terrible, they eat it up. Plenty of views, likes and comments.
Personally I prefer Lee's non EV material, much more entertaining
Hypocrisy
I agree with him about London congestion was manufactured to introduce congestion charging. I worked in the West end for 36 years and commuted by motorcycle everyday. The traffic light phasing was changed, more traffic lights were put in & bus stops had traffic island's put in the middle of the road to stop cars from going past the bus. Now they have all these low traffic zones.
You are 100% correct and don't forget those awful Cycle Lanes.
I lived in London in the 90s. Traffic was so bad that I once got caught in a traffic jam at 2am. Realistically, cars - which seldom have more than one occupant - are an extremely inefficient way of travelling round a city. Cycling used to be a form of suicide but I am impressed by how many people now use the expanded cycling network.
Do we want to go down the American route of massive umpteen lane freeways with city centres resembling post-war Hiroshima with huge swathes levelled for surface car parks? Or do we want vibrant cities with people given priority over cars, cycling encouraged and comprehensive transit networks constructed ?
That new car smell is the carcinogenic fumes coming out of the plastics
It's great in these modern times to see such a nice happy couple.
Thank you for your nice comment. We are very happy together. My wife and I say thank you and send you a wave and smiles.
Skoda isnt German. They are Czech Republic.
They were …… then the vag group bought them!
That's the point Lee. EV's for short journeys are fine but it's the long trips they want to stop us making.
Utter rubbish, just done a 200 mile round trip in my EV no need for a recharge, and ive taken my EV to the Arctic Circle and back a round trip of 2.5k.
Who are 'they' and why do they want to stop you making long journeys?
@@jock8523 Well you enjoy paying £1.50 per litre for your petrol while I pay rough eqiv. of about £1.40 per gallon when I charge at home, maintenance costs this year £150, zero car tax, and the car didn't cost me much more than equiv focus automatic, so who's the village idiot exactly?
I HATE touch screens in vehicles. Just try to use it driving along a bumpy country lanes. Nightmare.
You’re getting a new demonstrator while they repair all the things that are wrong with your car.
That new car smell of glue and plastic is very very toxic carcinogenic.
So is alcohol🕶😃😀😄😁
@@kevinmott6205
And blue asbestos!
I dont get how you are not allowed to hold a mobile phone but you have to put yourself and others in danger just to find and operate the radio/heater/ac etc on the stupid digital control panel.
Einstein apparently said "The definition of stupidity is repeating the same actions and expecting a different result."
I purchased a Skoda fabia ICE car it's about five years old now.
It's a great car.
The salesman said after a period of deliberation “ yes EV’s are OK , they have a place in the market “ , hardly singing it’s praise from the rooftops was he . Said it all really . Plus was the buyer Joe off the Royale Family TV show ? 😄😄
He's probably been fired by now!! 😅🤣
I like how it is illegal to look at or play with your cell phone while driving. However, it is ok to take your eyes off the road while looking at or adjusting the dash screen on your computer EV.
NUTTY.
Guess touchscreen and radio in ICE do it by themselves?
@@gahmed8047 we are talking about a specific make and model here, yah numpty
Why do I feel like I just watched a Skoda advert. 😐
Bought a brand new Skoda Kamiq last week, fabulous car and superb quality, i’m a Skoda man for life now, of course it’s petrol, keep your EV !!
Have I just watched a car salesman describe some 'clever' features on an EV that costs £45K, being a plastic parking ticket clip, a brolly and a plastic ice scraper (that doubles as a tyre tread depth measurer)??? What kind of mad world are we living in?
Simple really, as other cars do not have these simply clever features, the Parking Clip is great.
Name all of the cheaper cars that have those little extras.
I think I'd like a follow up to this in a year or so to see how he's got on with the car in everyday use. Book it in Lee.
That simply clever ticket holders included on 850 Volvo's, from the 90's. Geoff would love that 🤣
i do not understand why you would buy and expensive ev.
HOLD THE FRONT PAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skoda has three brand new features that will revolutionise motoring.
A plastic clip inside the windscreen ??????????
A space for an umbrella in the door panel ?????????
An ice scraper to save you buying a much better one in Halfords saving you 50p ????????
ffs yes, it's their USP you know, what a joke, and the salesman kept a straight face
Maybe the clip is a long forgotten feature making a comeback? My 2002 Volvo had one.
If you want anything durable and safe to drive in present day London surely a challenger 2 tank is the perfect vehicle. Plus its easy to park and can easily avoid the ULEZ charge (those cameras won't stand a chance)
Most new EV smells, involVE A burning smell
Most people would prefer a ICE car i think.
It is all about us as a business saving money, so this works. We also have ICE Cars.
Checked the price of your car today on We Buy Any Car. Just over £31,000, rediculous. £120,000 30 months ago No thanks.
I’ve never bought a new car as too expensive but mainly due to the massive loss incurred the moment you drive away, at least that’s what I believe. I live in South Wales and today saw a Porsche Taycan for the first time ever, lovely looking car but drove 20mph so wanted to smash into the back of the idiot!
Sadly no body is prepared to pay £120,000 theses days for a good car
.. Don’t worry it has a GFV (it’s on lease)
Most people bought a Porsche when their value was Ascending but now no-one wants them! They thought it was money at the end of the rainbow - and this is another example of it all going wrong and then moaning about his mistake. It’s s getting very tedious click bait
That’s shocking. Cripes.
the first 6mins 45 secs lured into thinking the taycan was being replaced, in a different scenario advertising stds auth. would make a meal of this. The remainder a promo video for Rainworth Skoda well and truly .
A nice looking car,shame it’s a Morag certified electrical device
As long as he's happy. Skoda used to be derided. From my experience in the motor trade, I found the Skoda a better car than it's brothers in VW and Seat. Much the same parts but made with better quality control.
It really is a great car, spec and build quality very good and the better option over te equivalent VW iD4 and Auto Etron
If you get a new ev, you get a MUG.
says it all.
Wow , an ice scraper and an umbrella , that sounds like good value then , worth every penny I'd say 😂
Skoda stole Rolls Royce idea with the Umbrella in door trick lol
It's a good idea. Not a bad thing at all.
Except Rolls Royce isn't a plastic cubby hole with room to rattle, But yep.
@@steveturnbull9542 lol 😄
@@tubistify 💯👍
I’ve been saying what yon man just said for some time. In Warrington lanes have been swiped, traffic signals meddled with, roads unnecessarily blocked, roads dug up. It’s manufactured congestion. No congestion charging yet but they’ve got it all set up for a rainy day.
An honest EV driver, it's on lease and decision based on business use and no banging on about environmental reasons.
Thank You.
Polestar has the clip in the windscreen and more importantly a curry hook in the glove box to hang your takeaway carrier bag on
Even my 2004 discovery 3 has the clip in the windscreen ha ha.
My 2013 Škoda Fabia had the clip in the windscreen.
The Polestar is effectively a Volvo C40. Volvo’s have had the ticket clip since the 1980’s and the hook in the glovebox comes from the Volvo XC40.
my 15 year old Volvo has the windscreen parking ticket clip so nothing new!
Small things, small minds
I agree with the chap in your video traffic in London is manufactured. It’s not about emissions either. I do plumbing jobs around north, east, West, Central London I’m sitting in traffic more than ever because of LTN you can’t drive directly to the owners property. You have to go up some roads 2 to 300 yards down road for 200 and another 300 yards, that makes the journey longer so my van is on the road longer than it needs to be. I can’t drive directly to the job like I used to. They have forced all the cars vans taxis buses onto the main roads and the traffic is worse than ever. It’s designed to frustrate people out of their motor vehicles that’s my opinion.
Extremely well put, your opinion!
Bravo, it makes perfect sense.
What will become London without buildera like you in the future...
Thank GOD I do not live in London for more than 10 years after.15 years of livving in the capital...
🙏🏻
Hi Lee, I’d just like to mention that I get an exemption from the London Congestion Charge as a Blue Badge holder as I have treatment at The Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in Queen Square (alongside Great Ormond Street) every three months. My son or daughter drives our Honda HR-V. Great video, Bob M. South Wales
Never had me going,Lee wouldn't ever buy another.
Very handy to have an umbrella recessed within the driver's door, you'll need that as you fumble around at a remote uncovered charging station when its raining , checking whether you are receiving power -or not !.
You never asked the salesman if he drove an EV himself. I think that was a missed opportunity
A Tiger 2 tank would be my preferred vehicle these days, same size, weight, running costs and range of an EV only without the parking issues, where would I park it? Anywhere I like.
I believe Rolls Royce came up with the umbrella in the door trick way back in time
Yes but a Roller is £100K Min More in price
Am just having a blast through the city centre on my Yamaha 350 RD two-stroke with a cloud of oily smoke to my rear on a LEZ free machine, am getting chased and am legal!
I've had 3 new cars in my lifetime, all 3 delivered to my front door by car carrier, no photos, no rubbish. Now that is what I call customer service!
Coming soon to London pay-per-mile including EV’s thanks to the Mayor. What that man said about manufactured congestion he’s 100% correct. London is more congested AFTER the Con Charge was implemented.
Noticed that he only leases these EV heaps, so ready to ditch it at a moments notice. Virtually free of physical controls in the cabin - beyond dreadful just like the Mk.8 golf (same group of companies).
We lease because of Tax Advantages, VAT reclaim, No depreciation to us and with £9.00 Plus VAT Service and Maintenance a months it's a giveaway.
It’s adorable he thinks his issues will go away with another brand. Good luck!
Skodas are great - but it's a real shame that they discontinued the Yeti. Now they look like all the other SUVs
I've not seen a Skoda yet that looks like my XC90.
Lee you need a labottomy your mental 😢
Bought to save on congestion charge which is going to be scrapped for EV’s🤔confused
Last I heard road tax, sorry road fund licence, will become payable next year on EVs (unless it's deferred, again).
If motorists do switch to EVs the Inland Revenue will have to come up with other ways to hammer the motorist in an effort to offset the reduction in tax generated by fossil fuel sales.
Between now and when the discount is with drawn we will travel into the zone 300 times up until the exemption ends, this will save us £4,500
I worked in Wimbledon in the early 1980s and can confirm that the then GLC created the London congestion problem by 'Traffic Management' - closing all the shortcut routes, messing with the computerized traffic light system timings etc, etc. I know because I was then directly involved in national traffic management. After the old GLC was abolished, Ken Livingston's escaping refuges then took their daft ideas to Exeter, Taunton and Bristol - and created exactly the same problems there!
He gets a Trabant 12 volt peddle car . They removed the back seat and extended the seat slides back another 300mm so the MacMaster can get his legs in.
Well I thought you were talking total bllocks from the very beginning. I thought you were going to get an ice porche.
Other than that I thought you had lost the plot.
Can't use a phone when driving but you can use a tablet..? Utter madness.
Voice commands
@@Lensman3333 do voice commands change the heating/ air-conditioning? What about when the system says " I'm sorry I didn't hear that" and have to go manual?
Big dials and buttons like in the nineteens. Those work, and keep working for very very long time in most brands. After few years with a screen, i actually NEVER ever use it, it is dead weight that also uses energy. Which the engine needs to generate. "but sat nav etc". Any proper phone can do that better.
@@rachelshonahague5718 yes voice commands do change heating/air-conditioning
15:00… so they pre-register the vehicles [in effect sell the new cars to themselves and sit them on the forecourt as 2nd hand cars] so to meet the government set target for all new EV vehicles being sold.
When the EV salesman says “398” mile range, does that consider the recommended charge range of 20-80%? If not considered, then that would imply roughly 60% of the 398 or 240 mile range, right?
❤WLTP says 398 miles. Real range about 280 miles in Spring / Summertime.
New it wasn't Lee buying another EV. I think the thumbnail gave it away😉
@@wynhughes9072 if we see him buying another EV, we can conclude either he’s been lobotomized, is under durress or is being impersonated. 😂
@@KAlphonso
Or he's making so much money from Hate EV videos that simply can't afford to stop?
Controversial!😂
Its sooo handy having a clip to hold a parking ticket. Ooooo-and that nice umbrella to keep me dry when charging. Oh brother--give me strength. Is that the best selling points??
If the buyer is happy--that's great but at least he can set his purchases against tax if he's in business. Ordinary people will find it expensive--VERY expensive
It drives a lot better than the Hyundai!
No CC exemption for ZEC's or Hybrids only EVs. Not sure if Sadiq Khan's Armour plated V8 petrol ICE powered Range Rover with Defender Police Escort is exempt? 🤔
how did khan get reelected, is it safe to say elections are rigged
Well, I was partly correct; a VW group car.
I must say, Lee, I was impressed by the body panel fit and finish of materials of this Skoda car as well as its potential range.😊
Quality over Hyundai is very noticeable
Well, im a bit shocked because with the exception of your car, that's the first EV I've seen that doesn't look like it's been battered with the ugly stick. What a nice couple as well. I hope they enjoy the car. Diesel and petrol for me, though.
The guy said it had a range of 350 miles. Is that it's real range though, we know it isn't and you didn't call him out!
They bought a very nice car but should have been petrol or diesel not electric.
I was expecting to see a battery-powered radio-controlled model car - for the child within Lee to play with while he is waiting for his Taycan to charge up!
i agree children should play with petrol cars in the home...
My first and last ev I had was 40 years ago build by nikko 🤪
Mine was about 50yrs ago and built by Scalextric 👴
Was that an alternative to a Tamiya?
@@jp6975 Those heady pre-pubescent days of lucky bags and salt n shake crisps spent wandering around Beatties and Tandy marvelling at the wonders of things controlled by analogue radio waves, oh to be young again.....
Nice of them to put the true range on the back 85
I think you secretly like EVs 😍
Ev's have ended swingers parties
lol 😂 😂😂
Yeah, my 20 year old Saab has the ticket holder😂 not exactly a new feature.
"Business development team leaders" says it all !!!
Skoda translate to "too bad" in Czech...and some people say there is no truth in advertising! Shame on them!
Great Stuff Lee 👍 Terrific ‘balancing Vlog’ & well handled by all parties - nice watch 😊
Thanks Lee . That couple were lovely ❤😊
I'm off to Rainworth Skoda... For a Diesel ❤
I get about 1600km on a tank in my diesel Patrol,no stops for a charge,just a pit stop for the driver.
I could buy all the skoda extras from home bargains for £5 ice scraper, brolly and shopping hooks... Some people are easily pleased...Good video👍
Humm, nice to see happy (for now) chappie.
The exciting plastic clip is of course an oil based product, as is the PVC sheathing on the copper charging cables.
Oh look - another SUV type thingy - wow I'm so impressed.
I wish them luck, but I would not buy an electric car personally.
I am not a sheep .I will never get an EV even if they give them away .which they probably will soon 😱😱😱😱😱
they already are on the radio
@@ianrichards4907 Well they wouldn't be able to sell them.
That was a very diplomatic response by the young chap at the end!
Exactly why I bought a BMW 330e. Electric around town and petrol for longer distances. It works great for me.
I think all congestion is forced/caused on purpose
Oooops, sorry i got it wrong. A Happy Customer with there Brand new EV. Skoda Enyaq 85. I was really Gobsmacked how Beautiful and very Well put together, Full Leather and i was Loving the Umbrella inside the Door, same as the Rolls Royce Phantom. I could really tell that the Developement and Design team, has absolutely got it right. Even down to the Car Parking Ticket holder in the Front Windscreen. A very Lovely and Spacious Boot area. The Info Touch Screen just perfect. And, there were extra button's that you could operate. What a Superb EV.
When that car is sold into the second hand market it'll be a good buy.
Something we do agree on. EVs for driving around town and charging at home. That’s exactly what I do. Until thing drastically improve with better batteries, faster charging, and an improved infrastructure, I’ll just do as I’m doing. It works out perfectly for me.
The avergae uk motorist drives 19 miles per day
So if your a average motorist and can charge a EV up at home
Then are absolutely ideal and make perfect sense
@@boyasakathat’s exactly where I am. Charging at home hasn’t added much of a strain to my electric bill, but if I really want to go on the cheap, I can charge for free at the dealership I purchased it from, and it’s no further from my home than a gas station.
@@kelalamusic9258 win win
These Neanderthals who hate EV’s and most have never owned one drives me mad
And especially most households have 2 cars so makes even more sense to have 1 EV and 1 ice
Parking ticket clip? Had that on my Volvos for years!!!!! Wake up Škoda...
That vehicle moved by itself........now that is a worry!
Oh wow an umbrella in the door. Just what you need. Not. I can't remember the last time I used an umbrella ever.
I must admit those cars don't look too bad, but I won't get one. That must have taken ages to film, great work Lee.
Purchasing a house is not the same as purchasing a new car. My house,£40:500 in 98.now worth £240k. E.v. the opposite in a fraction of the time.😊
The question, why EV? It's about stupidity.
And bribery. Without that, EVs die
There are people out there who must have the latest technology. It's like a drug
I’ve gone from VW to Skoda … s much improved brand … but keeping it simple tonight … all involved in blog .., 9/10 … 👏🙂👏
"398 miles from a full charge". In your dreams son.
it be 280miles more like even more less if you got a heavy foot
Milk float
so does oil
