00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Good morning, pilots. Today Matt, Alex, and I are going to the fully charged EV and home show,

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
which is going to be a lot of fun to the Vancouver Convention Center.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Apparently they make electric cars now, but I thought cars needed gas, so I don't know.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
We'll figure out what's going on, but we've got to go. Well, we're going to be late.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Alright, we've made it here to fully charged in the beautiful VCC.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Let's see if we can find anything interesting to look at.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
There's quite a lot. A lot of cars.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,000
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.

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
I guess it's what cars look like there. But yeah, otherwise it's a pretty big venue.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Not as big as LTX though, so I guess we got them beat on that.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
They're even R1S. I got to say, I think I prefer this look to the R1T.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
We haven't gotten a chance to drive it yet, but maybe, maybe we can convince them to give us this one.

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Alright, you had to pick one. What do you choose? The little smart car looking guy here?

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
The modded Tesla Model 3. Obviously, you need the spoiler,

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
because even though this is a very heavy car, you need more downforce.

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
And, I mean, I don't know if those little cards stay on there when you're driving,

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
but that'd be kind of cool. Or this guy. I mean, look at this.

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
It's like somebody pinched a car when it was still cooking.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And now it's a little bit squished, but that's alright. We don't discriminate.

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Look at the tires. Yeah, those are incredibly not legal on the street,

21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
but I absolutely love it. I don't mean to make sense. Look at this.

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Clearly for the track. We got the giant spoiler.

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
We got the mini spoiler underneath just so you know they ballin'.

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And they're driving on the street. This sticker's for driving on the highway in Vancouver.

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
This car's going places. This is going onto a trailer, for sure.

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
There's no way. Crazy.

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Comment down below if I should do this to my Tesla. I'm thinking yes.

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Oh my God. We're at the Polestar booth. We did check out the Polestar,

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
and you know, it's a pretty decent car, but this color is insane.

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
But let's go take a look at that Polestar 3. Sheesh. Now this is a Polestar I can get behind.

31
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
You can see the headlights are strobing. It does not look like that in person,

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
but man, does that look good. That is not.

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
The only thing that can make it better is if there was no rear view window,

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
as I know they're trying to get rid of, but we'll see. One thing we noticed with the Polestar

35
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
is that it is pretty high up for when you're lifting your groceries,

36
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
but luckily you can actually lower it with the air suspension so it's easier to lift your heavy bags in.

37
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I know Matt's buying all that. That's soilin'.

38
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Lifting it up could be challenging, but luckily, yeah, the air suspension's great.

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Alright, the inside of the back looks nice, but this is the crazy thing.

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
It's giant. There's a window up and down button. That's way too big.

41
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Alright Alex, what do you think? So far so good. We've got some really nice leather there.

42
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
I've been told that there's two cup holders.

43
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Oh, sorry. Wow. We're getting sniped.

44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
The front of this is also kind of unique. It's weird looking from this angle.

45
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Speed holds. You've got a front spoiler now.

46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Sure. I don't know what's on the go. I need to figure that out.

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Otherwise, the front looks pretty cool. I mean, it's got some attitude.

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
What do you say about cars? Do you say cars have attitude? I don't know how it works.

49
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Lots of cars have attitude, yes. And this is one of the cars with attitude of all time.

50
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Maybe. Maybe. I don't quite understand. It's like both

51
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
kind of like aggressive, shark-like and very soft and luxurious.

52
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I don't feel a blend of how short I am looking up at you.

53
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Alright Matt, what do you think? Is this looking good?

54
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I think this one looks pretty good. The three is definitely better than the four.

55
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Only because it has a rear windscreen. Ah, not get out of your trash.

56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Four is way better. No rear windrow. That's all I want.

57
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Alright Alex, you had one major complaint with the Polestar 2. Want to see if they've updated it in the 2024?

58
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
We have the refresh here. Let's see what's on the go. They didn't.

59
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
No. This is still awful.

60
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
It's scratchy and not comfortable.

61
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
We'll get all the way in.

62
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Classic giant Alex. Yep. To get to your second cup holder

63
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
you still have to do the all the way around.

64
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Big sad. If only there was a car that this was based on that has

65
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
this completely functional. Just steal the XC40 guys.

66
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Alright, get her out of here. Drive it out.

67
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Don't worry, if you can't afford a Polestar 2, you can maybe afford

68
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
the cake maker. Fire.

69
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Now the one segment we haven't really covered in EVs is electric motorcycles

70
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
because Linus doesn't really like them. He's the only one that rides motorcycles

71
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
of all of our hosts. He says that you need the roar of the engine.

72
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
But I think they look pretty cool. Let us know if you think we should try to get Linus to drive

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
one of these because sheesh. Alright, we're here with the

74
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
GV70. We just filmed a video with this. Is this the car

75
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Alex's butt sat in? Maybe. I actually have no recollection.

76
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Yeah, it's hard to remember. I think it's time for Linus to finally get a new car that suits him a bit

77
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
better and this Renault could be it. I know Alex won't fit because it's up to his nipples

78
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
but look at this. Perfect size. Wow.

79
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
That seat looks like something. It'll fit Linus

80
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
of on in the back seat or the LCD star backpack. I mean, great options.

81
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Yeah, all that you need. Okay, maybe these seats do not look comfortable at all.

82
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
It even has like the bump of a go-kart. No, that's what I'm saying.

83
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It actually looks like it's at an amusement park.

84
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Nice. Awesome. Alright, we got the McLaren's

85
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
we got the Taycan though Linus does this wrap better

86
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
and the Pink Bentley. What do you choose it? You get one.

87
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I think Pink Bentley. Amen, right? The Pink Bentley. It's so

88
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
sick. It matches Matt's shirt.

89
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
I'd want the McLaren but I've heard that they're really good at not working.

90
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Same with actually I hear the same thing with the Taycan. Yeah, Linus

91
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,000
has been in the shop a lot. Okay, I hit the thing.

92
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Oh, there we go. Pretty sick. That's pretty sick.

93
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Needs a helmet. Wow. Yeah.

94
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000
How many cupholders? Oh, just the one. No, it has two cupholders.

95
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Back in the full star too. There's one there, one up here. Wow.

96
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
We've got a little iPad. Tiny little screen.

97
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
This is really comfy feeling. That's also pretty good.

98
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
I drive it. Dang, that's crazy. I like how it's just carpet here.

99
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Man, I gotta say, I want LEDs in my rims.

100
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Now this is gamer. They look a lot like those AliExpress

101
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000
knock-offs, hubcap things that you got. You really get some real rotiforms.

102
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
My Aero covers are not knock-offs, but they might

103
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
be from AliExpress. I cannot confirm or deny, but hey,

104
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
this adds like five kilometers an hour to your car because of that stuff.

105
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Only five kilometers per hour, please. Alright, we got this conversion

106
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
and I gotta say, it looks pretty sick. I'm gonna be out here

107
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
hoping somebody ruins my Tesla so I can write it off and do a conversion to a car like this

108
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
because, god dang, does that look good?

109
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Does that look good? I was just looking, there's actually a lot less battery in this

110
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
than I was expecting. They kind of just removed the fuel tank and put some battery there.

111
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
I've been, I really want to electrify something like this because

112
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
you can just lift up the whole bed about this far, stick a Tesla battery in there, and no one's

113
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
the wiser. Boom. Yeah. And then you can just, this is too big of a box anyway.

114
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
It's just cut off a big chunk of it, put in more batteries.

115
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Do you see the screen in there? Do gaming? It'll be perfect.

116
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
We were worried upstairs was all there was, but little did we know.

117
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
There's a whole friggin' rest of the convention. We gotta check out.

118
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
So let's find out if there's more to see other than Polestar and Rivian.

119
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Edison Motors, I like their brand identity

120
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
which is stealing Tesla's idea just like the real

121
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Edison did. But I have to say, this doesn't look anything like a Tesla

122
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
that you think of today. That's for sure. I don't know the history.

123
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Matt does, but I believe he said it was that

124
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
the idea for a Tesla Semi and Longing is a good idea. So

125
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
this guy made his own, and he's a TikToker too, which is crazy.

126
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Oh my god,

127
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
the buzz. I want it so bad. My childhood car was

128
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
a VW van, and this looks amazing.

129
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Love the color. I feel like you just mandatory have to get this

130
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
mustard yellow. I don't know what kind of yellow you would call this, but

131
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
They are Noctua? Yeah, those are actual Noctua fans.

132
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I don't know what they're doing. I guess some sort of battery cooling.

133
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Alright, we're done here at the EV fully charged show

134
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
or fully charged EV show, whatever the order is. Let's talk about best of shows. Matt, what was your

135
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000
best of show? I got to say, there is the ID buzz over there. It is

136
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
pretty sweet, but for sitting in, I got to go with the

137
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
i5. That thing looks so nice. It felt really good.

138
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
It will be super fun to drive because BMW

139
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
is actually doing decent. Decent. Alex, what's your best show?

140
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Edison Motors. Absolutely love it. That thing is so cool, and I really

141
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
want to drive it up a logging road. Let us know if we should collab with them.

142
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Maybe we'll make it happen. My best of show has to be

143
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
the Polestar 2 just in that color. I don't want the car, but I want that Sage color

144
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
with the black strip. It's all about color to me, and that is

145
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
the one for car itself. The Rivian, I guess.

146
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I want the green of the Polestar, but on my Tesla. That would be the

147
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
dream world. Thank you so much for coming along, pilots. Let us

148
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
know what your favorite car was or what your favorite thing was. Maybe it was

149
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
the VIN Fast. It's probably

150
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
not the VIN Fast. Don't get a VIN Fast.
