If you honestly like it, I have the whole uncut footage of the dive that was the upload just previous to this one.

@@Freecpapadvice yes I did see that…very awesome!

In your area they do Megalodon Tooth diving. That sounds both extremely fun and terrifying.

@@lankyscatchannel9032 I don’t believe he has ever been ocean diving, He has been diving lakes in NC , Virginia

#NotCatChannelLegend

(my video...different channel) I do too. I really liked a lot of things about the ID4. If I could merge the tech, size, and charging of Tesla with the interior seats/features and body of the ID4, that would be an outstanding vehicle.

Yeah. My 2005 Toyota had it standard as well.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and subbing. Hope to have more crap videos for you soon.

My friend tried that with his wife. .....it didn't go so well.

I'll take EV charging at home over winning on trip time any day. It's liberating to never have to worry about making a trip to a gas station in the rain/cold/heat, and price of gas.

@@NCX23082 you can say the same thing about a long drive i dont want to wait at a charging station for a couple hours i can just gas and go ? They both have pros and cons but on long drive come on theres no comparing.

@@chrisrendon461 that's just my preference, you do you No tech is perfect, it's always a set of compromise

Per "fill up" yes..... Per "my time" absolutely not.

You ever been to a bukees😂

Buc-ees are starting to have Superchargers.

I am polling EV drivers to see how many have AAA or other roadside assistance plans. What is your plan if you get stuck in traffic and can't make it to a charger?

Exactly this. I actually do regular 1100km trips. I live a couple of hours north of Sydney, and my kids live a similar distance east of Melbourne. I leave at about 3am to miss Sydney peak traffic and stop about an hour south of Sydney for a sleep for about an hour then breakfast couple hours later for 20~30mins. About 3 hours later I stop for lunch another 20~30mins. By time I get to the border I'm pretty low on petrol so I usually stop for fill up that takes 30mins out of my way as got to drive into town then back out. I've even put my trip into several EV planning apps and they all have travel time faster than I do it.

"People in gas car never have to walk or park in designated areas specific to their car" yes they do, they're called gas stations... Every day, I step into my car with an 80% charge, just as I’ve set it, and I'm ready to go. Having driven gas cars for most of my life, I can confidently say I would never go back to one unless absolutely necessary.

@@punkwarlord The fact that you ended it that way tells me this is all about you justifying your purchase.

@@medhue ok, I can play your game... Fact that you started by saying "Not anti Ev" lets me know you are anti ev...

@@punkwarlord Not the same at all. You are leaving open the possibility. When I tell my neighbor about the awesome battery powered lawn mower I got, I don't tell him I'll never go back to gas ...... unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm never going back period. I love my battery power lawn tools.

@@medhue While I can't predict the future, my preference is clear: I will always choose an EV unless absolutely necessary. There may be unforeseen circumstances, such as my car breaking down, that might force me to drive a gas-powered car. However, given the choice, it's EV all the way....

And the ICE comparisons of "I drive 800 miles ever day" aren't cherry picked? This is far more realistic than the nonsense extremes people use to argue against EVs. Like who actually drives 500miles without at least one 30+ min stop for lunch + toilet breaks.

The scenario is my experience driving both ICE and EV. It's not an extreme example by any stretch. How is it cherry picked?

@@lankyscatchannel9032 the problem Is that most people wont have your experience. Most states just don’t have the charging infrastructure. Even then im sure there are some inconveniences like having to look for parking spot with ev charging at the mall.

@@OTPulse there is no need to argue against evs. They suck objectively. A Honda Civic is more economical. It would take you over 10 years to break even on the cost even you are charging the ev for free.

@Rafa_guitars Ah yes, compare a Civic to an EV in the same class. And your example falls flat. It's not 2014 any more, there are quite a lot of EVs close to the price of a Civic at a similar size. Your "objectively suck" is your opinion, but plenty of people disagree. Constantly have to go out of your way to refuel and constantly need services, leaving you careless for chunks of the day or having to skip work because of them. That sucks! Also, he said specifically Tesla because non Tesla charging sucks-ass. His experience is more in line with the majority.

That's why I specified Tesla. I've never come across a spot that wasn't working. Worst case scenario 1 stall of 12 doesn't work....but I get that at gas stations as well. Electrify America is another story. I'm shocked when they DO work!

Unless you got a bigger cable...

Bam! That's right. Same with smog checks. Not often, but definitely takes a lot of time.

@@lankyscatchannel9032 Who has a complete racist chode as a founder/CEO?

FYI, I don't know about the other 48 states, but in Illinois and California Home Owner Associations cannot prevent you from installing an EV charger.

@@lawrencewittenbergii4309 I was not prevented from installing a level 2 charger. I figured that I didn't need one and it's worked out fine for me. I don't even plug in every day.

1) Home charging stations are not prohibitively expensive. You do not have to be rich to buy them, or to even have them installed. I have two in my garage and I am by no means rich. 2) Scarce parking spaces is not something that EV's claim to fix. That is a car problem in general, but it's usually only a problem in the parts of cities that were built before personal automobiles became a thing. 3) Supercharging typically only takes about 30 minutes, not one hour. Most people do not fully charge their battery after 80%. Also, after 200 miles of driving, which is roughly 2 1/2hrs at highway speeds, most people are ready to take a break anyways, especially if they have little kids in the car. 4) Supercharging is not any worse for the battery than regular charging. You can find Tesla's with the same mileage, but one mostly supercharged and the other slow charged, they will both have similar levels of battery degradation.

​@@seanplace8192 The charging circuits are in the car itself I am pretty sure, not in any sort of charger, you could probably just rip out a few cables and connect them up (would be a bit of a fire hazard probably), the cost comes from... Owning a house or garage? Which I implied in my post Most cities are designed around density these days, not automobiles, the main exception being the entirety of USA and most of Canada, which entirely rebuilt themselves around sprawling, unsustainable infrastructure for personal vehicles. In fact the best way to improve the enviroment is to just... Remove cars off the road 2.5h of driving is practically nothing even driving manual, much less a modern automatic car Battery degradation is very much a lottery, some batteries simply degrade more than others, the one study that is most commonly cited seems to have been carried out by... An EV battery manufacturer. Li-Ion batteries are very much volatile things as we know for a fact (their main redeeming quality is energy density) and we know from other usecases that they do degrade from being charged at a higher rate faster. Oh, and not to mention that it will likely not be sustainable to convert current ICE cars to battery electric without like, adding 1/3 more generation capacity to the world, which in most cases will mean a shitload of pollution

Me: I prefer a hamburger to a chicken sandwich graham: CULT MEMBER!!!! Please explain. You're denying my experiences and opinions driving gas vs ev.

Did you happen to see my video of when I owned both and compare? I wished I bought a Tesla too.......so I did and sold the ID4 thankfully when the value was still high. Dropped like a rock after. Not that I care since my previous care was a 2005.

I'm sorry, you have failed to change my mind....by a continent.

@@lankyscatchannel9032 Can't argue religion; can only argue facts. You have to have the courage to admit when you're wrong.

@@billcichoke2534 I mean his car is charging, sure, but he is in his house while the car is charging so time is not wasted.

@@billcichoke2534 You make it seem like he needs to be awake at night for his car to charge 💀 the heck

@RxPharmer Unless you're in the habit of unplugging right after plugging in to go somewhere at a moment's notice, then plugging right back in at your stop, then unplug and come back home and plug in again, you're leaving the car and assuming it as not available until it's chsrged. Most EV owners don't do this for fear of ruining the battery and other parts of the power management system. So no, it's not a matter if 'while you sleep,' per se. It's more of an 'after it's fully charged' thing.

I've experienced the same thing and it was completely unexpected. I just drove my friends and was sold on the tech (app to control everything), the storage, and the performance. Especially the performance!

@@lankyscatchannel9032 10min is not much, but we were told that ICE is better because you don't have to wait for charging. When I drove 700km to Tromsø and 700km back, these charging stops (15min each 150km/2h) were not visible at all for me - I had to stop anyway, to have caffe, to get out of the car, as I fall asleep day or night, doesn't matter.

​@@lankyscatchannel9032Yeah... Thats what we need is more internet connected crap.

Drove by 2 Tesla Semi's a couple days ago [didn't record because my wife gave me the "are you kidding me" face.] They really are quiet. I'm used to the Pepsi Blue Semis as they're always up and down the highway near where I live. Really cool looking.

I tried the same with my grandma. She never drives out of town and has a garage, so it would've been perfect to get something like a Bolt EV. But when some people are set in their ways, it's hard to convince them even if it makes more sense.

​@seanplace8192 Ha! You just reminded me a few years ago I tried to get my MIL to go electric. Her old Toyota had 200k miles on it and she was looking for something new but didn't have a lot for payments. The original Ionic had some deal for like $99 a month with $1k down. Would have been perfect for her. FIL said no way, no electric cars in this household. So I got her into a CPO CX-3 for $250 a month. She loves the car but I can't help but think how much money she's wasting on a fixed income.

@@AaronClow My MIL puts almost 20k miles on her car each year. When she was shopping for a car back in 2019, I did bring up EV's, but unfortunately there weren't many good options back then; They were all either too small or too expensive. Much different story now, so I'm sure I'll be able to convince her to go electric when she's in the market again.

......you have failed to change my mind. Your first 3 sentences are factually inaccurate. Honestly a pretty bad attempt too. I actually make fun of the Cybertruck hype in the video.

@@lankyscatchannel9032 I care less about changing your mind or what your opinion is on something being "factually inaccurate" and simply want to call your video out for what it is. Your a fanboy, just own it and be proud.

@@rosgamer_original You definitely care since you commented......then commented again. I really like my Highlander too....am I a Toyota "fanboy"? Just own that you care and be proud. My cat thanks you for boosting the algorithm. 🐈‍⬛

How dare you speak this way in front of my cat. On average I plug in (in my garage) every 3rd or 4th day....when it gets down below or near 30%. And furthermore "Dave"....if in fact that IS your real name....the 90 seconds at the end was using anecdotal evidence. This kind of evidence trumps all other forms of evidence. (I asked a friend just now and they agreed) The ICE comparison was definitely not gamed. That's something I looked up on the internet.....so group anecdotal evidence. Actually fueling is one thing, but the added time of another stop solely for that purpose was added in as well. NEVER argue with the cat channel. 💪🏼

If you want to be technical, you need also to add the time it takes from the moment you decide to interrupt your travel to put gas until you are back on the road. It takes long, add the traffic, and waiting at the gas station if it happens to be full, it is not just a few minutes. Charging at home on the hand is just a few seconds because you are not driving anywhere to charge. So the real math make sit much more favorable to charge than to refuel gas.

You don't have to charge the car every day, nor is it fair to accumulate all of the brief pauses one has to do to plug/unplug the car. In my opinion, the 5 second pause doesn't even count since you do not have to go out of you way to do it. If you do count it, I would say it would be negated by the fact that you don't actually have to "Turn on" a Tesla. You just get in and shift to drive or reverse. In a gas car, you have to start the engine, then wait a moment for the revs to go down, then shift into gear.

Yeah you can fault him on the inaccuracy on giving charging an edge, but seriously do you think that you do Nascar style refueling and ONLY do 3 minutes per refuel and never have to drive out of your way to a cheaper or nicer gas station, ever? His point is that you take a lot more time fueling than you think, and your post pretty much work in his favor by not seeing the reality of how much fueling gas really is.

how much time have we all spent sitting at a stoplight looking at the gas station across the street we need to get to (once again out of your way). One could easily add that time as well.

You had to stop 6x for 50 mins? Bro what where you smoking. Thats only a 4-5 stop trip for 30 mins each if you have an older tesla. By time you drive and charge ya'll using the restroom and taking a break anyways.

Apparently, something good since you are obviously sure I'm making it all up.

@@adobo1976 The alternative is you have 5 IQ and charged to 100%, then never let your battery go under 40%.

@@silvy7394 I was shooting for 90% but Tesla says charging to 100% is considered normal for long range driving. If you listen to Tesla's app they have you pulling into the next Super Charger with like 5% charge. Their accuracy in calculating range is garbage. You don't want to be in the middle of nowhere because of their algorithm error. Also they don't take into account for elevation or strong wind encountered on the trip. I was losing like 10 to 14% per charge due to just that. Although I'm sure you have have an IQ greater than 5 so you would know all of this already. I can already see your big brain by your eloquent use of the word Bro.

@@adobo1976 Tesla does not say charging to 100% is normal for trips 🤡🤡😂😂😂😂 They want it as low as possible to charge as fast as possible. Then disconnect at 80% or lower. If you arent comfortable with that, then select a charger a little closer. 10,000 IQ move there 😂😂😂😂😂

If you have a Tesla, and you have a portable charger, that charger is a Level 2 charger. All you need is a 240 volt outlet. You can find those at home in the kitchen for the stove and wherever you have an electric dryer, they both must use 240 volt. That is what I do at home, I have the dryer in the garage, so I just plug my portable charger there (you need to buy the correct cable depending of the outlet you have). No need to install anything.

@@DDB-np1jp I just use a 110V. I could plug it into any outlet in the house. Unfortunately, I do not have a 240V outlet in the garage.
