Elon Musk himself admitted to shareholders that the Roadster back then was a complete disaster. It had a lot of 'unpublished' problems. You can see him in his video fumbling in his explanations. He clearly didn't know what he was doing, and he admitted to that too. Tesla lost money on every roadster they built until late 2009. But, he has come a long way.

He seems like an innovative guy, I'm sure he'll be successful some day.

I also love how well prepared Jay is about the car and its technical specialities - as always I have to say! Jay Leno and Doug de Mouro are icons when it comes to have a closer look at cool cars! Many manufactureres lost their way despite having interesting developments, Tesla is one of the few that didn't. Let's cheer that and also have fun to watch the many others that didn't make it further. Another outstanding Video from Jay Leno! Thank you for all that effort, thanks that you use your social skills to invite and speak in depth to intersting specialists of each car!

Wow, this takes me back to the day my daughter & I took a test drive in the debut Tesla roadster from their sales office in Menlo Park and up Woodside Road! She called dibs on driving it first; she pulled out of the parking space, aimed it for the driveway at El Camino Blvd, and floored it! Fifty mph in the parking lot before the driveway! I was scared & exhilarated! Their recommended drive was in the mountains, so there was a CHP parked along the route just waiting. I just knew the next curve would conceal him, so I told my speedy daughter to slow down just in time. I then took over and had fun on the mountain! That first Tesla was a thrill to drive. The regen braking surprised me because I hardly needed the brake pedal, even in heavy Silicon Valley traffic. The acceleration also surprised this old hot rod Boomer! What a great start to a now legendary company!

Jay meant to say this is Elon Musk before he CREATED the electric car market. The other companies would have kept their vehicles at the science fair without the threat of TESLA.

@t c Just like all those wasteful gas cars that have really powerful engines that aren't needed that burn much more gas than is needed and have 4-6 empty seats most of the time to go only 50 miles a day. Oversized and overpowered cars aren't limited to just EVs. But if society is going to have oversized and overpowered cars then an EV is a much cleaner choice. You could make the same argument that all gas cars shouldn't have more than 100 hp because it's a waste of resources. The real question would be what percent of the cars in the world not only just travel on average 50 miles a day but NEVER travel more than 50 miles. Because once you have a car that can travel only 50-80 miles then it isn't very practical to travel 300-400 miles when needed. What do those people do then if they want to travel longer? They have two choices. They can stop and charge 5 times every 60 miles anytime they want to go on a 300 mile trip. Or they can rent another car that can go 300-400 miles. But now you have multiple cars in the equation and you will still need to make plenty of 300-400 mile cars to supplement the 50-80 mile cars. Sure there will be a very tiny percent of cars worldwide that will stay only in urban centers and never venture beyond 100 miles but that won't be a majority of cars. It is a much more simple system to build 300 mile range EVs for most and have niche EV products that are urban city EVs. Another advantage of longer range EVs is that on a daily basis they use a much smaller percent of their state of charger resulting in less wear of each cell in the pack leading to much better pack longevity. The smaller the range target you aim for in building a pack the more buffer you need to add at the top and bottom of the pack in order to have an acceptable life on the pack. So a 50-80 mile EV needs to have an extra 20-30% in reserve locked out from the user since each cell will be cycled almost fully every day to drive 50 miles. 1 cell in a 80 kWh pack is the same as the next 1 cell in a 20 kWh pack. Driving 50 miles a day in the 80 kWh EV each cell will only be cycled 15% a day while in the 20 kWh EV each cell will be cycled 63% a day. If each cell is rated for 1500 cycles that means 120,000 miles for the 20 kWh EV (20 kWh usable but 24 kWh with buffer) while the 80 kWh pack would have a life of 500,000 miles. Most cars won't last 500,000 miles but 120,000 isn't enough. It's better to have a theoretical 500,000 miles of life for in the real world outcomes can be higher or lower. And if the car does indeed end its life before 500,000 miles then the cells in this pack will still have utility to be reused as stationary storage until they are eventually recycled.

@@flipadavis I think there is an argument to be said that Tesla made electric cars, Not Nerdy, and distance. It's a good argument but it's impractical to live with minimalistic needs. why don't we all get electric scooters with heavy winter Jackets? It's just not how people live. We also need to think about our electric grid. We need some serious infrastructure for everyone to go on electric cars.

Oh yes! This was great! Please go thru the archives.

Jay, thanks for continuing to upload and provide some escape from this rough moment in history. Being in quarantine sucks and this is a great escape back to an moment when things went so stressful.

Thank you Mr Leno. You haven’t changed at all. Please dig through the achieves for some other interesting footage. Regards from a Great Southern Land 🇦🇺.

Orcawhale Elon and Jay Leno already filmed the episode a couple months ago. It was Model Y cyber truck and roadster. Video was never released yet. So it’s going to happen before production

Jay, your sartorial inelegance is timeless! (what did he say?) By all means, dig into the archives and blow the dust off some of the old shows. Great fun!

It's so funny that Jay was still shouting in that final car shot, despite there being no engine, turbo or exhaust noises. Thanks for releasing this one. 🙂👍

The walking meme himself! A great treat seeing 2 brilliant men talking cars!

So glad you became famous (and rich) otherwise we would never see such a great collection ov vehicles.

Awesome. Great content. Glad this popped up in my recommended feed. Now do one where you guys test drive the Falcon rocket 😁

Love the “throw back” please post them all! Also I agree with the previous post- a follow up with Elon Musk and maybe some Cyber Truck stuff will be appreciated- Thank You for sharing your hobby with us!

That was awesome of you to show that old footage Jay. Yes, I would LOVE to see more if you can dig some up !

Thanks Jay and crew. A few years before that (several), I was at one of your shows in Vegas. Back when you had black hair and I had hair. I truly enjoy your weekly car videos and thank you for what you do behind the scenes.

I'd love the ability to enjoy a passion/hobby like Mr. Leno does. Excellent videos Sir

Jay is the only guy that can do this and make it interesting no matter what he drives

Thanks Jay for showing the older video. That was very interesting.

Thanks Jay. It is amazing the growth in electric especially with the traditional companies jumping into the fray. Some of the new start ups are also interesting like Rivian. Their trucks and SUV's look traditional yet all electric. I believe they had a bit of a deal with Ford maybe for marketing or sales. Kind of excited to see the first one of those on the road.

One of my favorites ever. Crazy to look back at this. Most people come in to show their car, Elon came in to show you the future.

Jay, that was cool. Learned a lot too. Thanks much. Looking through by the archives is a great idea, btw.

I enjoyed the look back. Please try to find more of these.

What a cool archive to dig up. It's incredible everything that has happened since then.

Finally, innovators moving forward! Not getting stuck in the red tape and pushing forward! Excellent Video Jay!

Jay, thanks for posting. Keep going through your stock and find some more gems. Anything with Henry Ford and the model A?

Loved that Jay it was a gem...so worth airing now, especially as Elon has become such a an icon of the 21st century as a visionary thinker and do'er......get going through those archives for more gems during lock down! All the best as ever fro the UK....

Prepping for the Cybertruck episode? Can't wait.

Amazing footage, I really enjoyed you and Elon talking about the roadster, you having bought a model S and running a Baker amongst all your ice vehicles, it's great to see you enbrace all forms of propulsion.

Prior to them going to full production they asked me if I would be interested in driving one? I had read a lot about them on Road&Track so I was definitely curious. I signed up to receive their updates. At that time the only dealership was in Fort Lauderdale. With great interest we drove up there to look at this new car that looked like a Lotus. We drove the pants off of it and had a great time. We were really impressed with it but it also had a hefty price (Porsche territory). My hats off to Tesla for all that it has done. Thank you for the video, as always greatly appreciated and very informative.

I was a fan of the show but i never liked Jeremy's derision of certain brands and technology. He was too to opinionated on somethings. 1. He hatred of anything diesel. 2. His ambivalence to all things Porsche 3. His hatred of 100% electric cars. He pulled that same crap with the Nissan LEAF - purposely running out of power in the middle of a town square while on a "road trip." Made a point to say, "with included charging back, we should be ready to go in 24 hours." It was all a set-up to make electric cars look wholly inferior to "petrol" cars. Nissan never claimed, and still don't claim, it is a traveling car. It's a commuter and errand car. But when Jeremy liked something, he couldn't contain his excitement and it made for great television. It's a great example how bias journalism is done from the vantage and opinion of the journalist. If Jeremy was single handedly trying to squash the electric car, he failed. At least Jay recognizes the era of combustion engine passenger cars is coming to an end. He embraces the technology.

Tesla fans will try to lynch TG for that, and I agree with them. I think they were staging it that the car run out of battery, not breaking down. There’s no conspiracy, TG was trying to be entertaining and didn’t like electric cars back then. Tesla found out because they actually tracked the car.

E-L-O-N!!!!!!! Liked seeing it Jay.I like the idea of episodes out of the archives!

"Its shocking how good it is" "I'm getting a charge out of driving it" "You can feel the electricity in the air"
