Good morning, pilots. Today Matt, Alex, and I are going to the fully charged EV and home show,
which is going to be a lot of fun to the Vancouver Convention Center.
Apparently they make electric cars now, but I thought cars needed gas, so I don't know.
We'll figure out what's going on, but we've got to go. Well, we're going to be late.
Alright, we've made it here to fully charged in the beautiful VCC.
Let's see if we can find anything interesting to look at.
There's quite a lot. A lot of cars.
I mean, does this even count as an electric car? Like, I guess so. Is this like the first one? I don't know anything about Detroit.
I guess it's what cars look like there. But yeah, otherwise it's a pretty big venue.
Not as big as LTX though, so I guess we got them beat on that.
They're even R1S. I got to say, I think I prefer this look to the R1T.
We haven't gotten a chance to drive it yet, but maybe, maybe we can convince them to give us this one.
Alright, you had to pick one. What do you choose? The little smart car looking guy here?
The modded Tesla Model 3. Obviously, you need the spoiler,
because even though this is a very heavy car, you need more downforce.
And, I mean, I don't know if those little cards stay on there when you're driving,
but that'd be kind of cool. Or this guy. I mean, look at this.
It's like somebody pinched a car when it was still cooking.
And now it's a little bit squished, but that's alright. We don't discriminate.
Look at the tires. Yeah, those are incredibly not legal on the street,
but I absolutely love it. I don't mean to make sense. Look at this.
Clearly for the track. We got the giant spoiler.
We got the mini spoiler underneath just so you know they ballin'.
And they're driving on the street. This sticker's for driving on the highway in Vancouver.
This car's going places. This is going onto a trailer, for sure.
There's no way. Crazy.
Comment down below if I should do this to my Tesla. I'm thinking yes.
Oh my God. We're at the Polestar booth. We did check out the Polestar,
and you know, it's a pretty decent car, but this color is insane.
But let's go take a look at that Polestar 3. Sheesh. Now this is a Polestar I can get behind.
You can see the headlights are strobing. It does not look like that in person,
but man, does that look good. That is not.
The only thing that can make it better is if there was no rear view window,
as I know they're trying to get rid of, but we'll see. One thing we noticed with the Polestar
is that it is pretty high up for when you're lifting your groceries,
but luckily you can actually lower it with the air suspension so it's easier to lift your heavy bags in.
I know Matt's buying all that. That's soilin'.
Lifting it up could be challenging, but luckily, yeah, the air suspension's great.
Alright, the inside of the back looks nice, but this is the crazy thing.
It's giant. There's a window up and down button. That's way too big.
Alright Alex, what do you think? So far so good. We've got some really nice leather there.
I've been told that there's two cup holders.
Oh, sorry. Wow. We're getting sniped.
The front of this is also kind of unique. It's weird looking from this angle.
Speed holds. You've got a front spoiler now.
Sure. I don't know what's on the go. I need to figure that out.
Otherwise, the front looks pretty cool. I mean, it's got some attitude.
What do you say about cars? Do you say cars have attitude? I don't know how it works.
Lots of cars have attitude, yes. And this is one of the cars with attitude of all time.
Maybe. Maybe. I don't quite understand. It's like both
kind of like aggressive, shark-like and very soft and luxurious.
I don't feel a blend of how short I am looking up at you.
Alright Matt, what do you think? Is this looking good?
I think this one looks pretty good. The three is definitely better than the four.
Only because it has a rear windscreen. Ah, not get out of your trash.
Four is way better. No rear windrow. That's all I want.
Alright Alex, you had one major complaint with the Polestar 2. Want to see if they've updated it in the 2024?
We have the refresh here. Let's see what's on the go. They didn't.
No. This is still awful.
It's scratchy and not comfortable.
We'll get all the way in.
Classic giant Alex. Yep. To get to your second cup holder
you still have to do the all the way around.
Big sad. If only there was a car that this was based on that has
this completely functional. Just steal the XC40 guys.
Alright, get her out of here. Drive it out.
Don't worry, if you can't afford a Polestar 2, you can maybe afford
the cake maker. Fire.
Now the one segment we haven't really covered in EVs is electric motorcycles
because Linus doesn't really like them. He's the only one that rides motorcycles
of all of our hosts. He says that you need the roar of the engine.
But I think they look pretty cool. Let us know if you think we should try to get Linus to drive
one of these because sheesh. Alright, we're here with the
GV70. We just filmed a video with this. Is this the car
Alex's butt sat in? Maybe. I actually have no recollection.
Yeah, it's hard to remember. I think it's time for Linus to finally get a new car that suits him a bit
better and this Renault could be it. I know Alex won't fit because it's up to his nipples
but look at this. Perfect size. Wow.
That seat looks like something. It'll fit Linus
of on in the back seat or the LCD star backpack. I mean, great options.
Yeah, all that you need. Okay, maybe these seats do not look comfortable at all.
It even has like the bump of a go-kart. No, that's what I'm saying.
It actually looks like it's at an amusement park.
Nice. Awesome. Alright, we got the McLaren's
we got the Taycan though Linus does this wrap better
and the Pink Bentley. What do you choose it? You get one.
I think Pink Bentley. Amen, right? The Pink Bentley. It's so
sick. It matches Matt's shirt.
I'd want the McLaren but I've heard that they're really good at not working.
Same with actually I hear the same thing with the Taycan. Yeah, Linus
has been in the shop a lot. Okay, I hit the thing.
Oh, there we go. Pretty sick. That's pretty sick.
Needs a helmet. Wow. Yeah.
How many cupholders? Oh, just the one. No, it has two cupholders.
Back in the full star too. There's one there, one up here. Wow.
We've got a little iPad. Tiny little screen.
This is really comfy feeling. That's also pretty good.
I drive it. Dang, that's crazy. I like how it's just carpet here.
Man, I gotta say, I want LEDs in my rims.
Now this is gamer. They look a lot like those AliExpress
knock-offs, hubcap things that you got. You really get some real rotiforms.
My Aero covers are not knock-offs, but they might
be from AliExpress. I cannot confirm or deny, but hey,
this adds like five kilometers an hour to your car because of that stuff.
Only five kilometers per hour, please. Alright, we got this conversion
and I gotta say, it looks pretty sick. I'm gonna be out here
hoping somebody ruins my Tesla so I can write it off and do a conversion to a car like this
because, god dang, does that look good?
Does that look good? I was just looking, there's actually a lot less battery in this
than I was expecting. They kind of just removed the fuel tank and put some battery there.
I've been, I really want to electrify something like this because
you can just lift up the whole bed about this far, stick a Tesla battery in there, and no one's
the wiser. Boom. Yeah. And then you can just, this is too big of a box anyway.
It's just cut off a big chunk of it, put in more batteries.
Do you see the screen in there? Do gaming? It'll be perfect.
We were worried upstairs was all there was, but little did we know.
There's a whole friggin' rest of the convention. We gotta check out.
So let's find out if there's more to see other than Polestar and Rivian.
Edison Motors, I like their brand identity
which is stealing Tesla's idea just like the real
Edison did. But I have to say, this doesn't look anything like a Tesla
that you think of today. That's for sure. I don't know the history.
Matt does, but I believe he said it was that
the idea for a Tesla Semi and Longing is a good idea. So
this guy made his own, and he's a TikToker too, which is crazy.
Oh my god,
the buzz. I want it so bad. My childhood car was
a VW van, and this looks amazing.
Love the color. I feel like you just mandatory have to get this
mustard yellow. I don't know what kind of yellow you would call this, but
They are Noctua? Yeah, those are actual Noctua fans.
I don't know what they're doing. I guess some sort of battery cooling.
Alright, we're done here at the EV fully charged show
or fully charged EV show, whatever the order is. Let's talk about best of shows. Matt, what was your
best of show? I got to say, there is the ID buzz over there. It is
pretty sweet, but for sitting in, I got to go with the
i5. That thing looks so nice. It felt really good.
It will be super fun to drive because BMW
is actually doing decent. Decent. Alex, what's your best show?
Edison Motors. Absolutely love it. That thing is so cool, and I really
want to drive it up a logging road. Let us know if we should collab with them.
Maybe we'll make it happen. My best of show has to be
the Polestar 2 just in that color. I don't want the car, but I want that Sage color
with the black strip. It's all about color to me, and that is
the one for car itself. The Rivian, I guess.
I want the green of the Polestar, but on my Tesla. That would be the
dream world. Thank you so much for coming along, pilots. Let us
know what your favorite car was or what your favorite thing was. Maybe it was
the VIN Fast. It's probably
not the VIN Fast. Don't get a VIN Fast.
