Honestly like hearing your take on SEMA the most. You actually take the time to reflect on innovations happening in the industry and not just popular content creators. 🤘

The 3D printed metal components are amazing. Imagine being able to dial up a custom 3D printed front subframe for custom conversions, or adding AWD more easily (compared to all the fabrication work Dave had to do on the AWD Hellcat/Trackhawk combo).

the video / sound quality is good but i think the camera has no stabilization, its very twitchy, i think it would be really good on a gimbal though

I do think the one good thing that has come from EV companies is innovation the big 3 were in a stagnant boomer run industry, now they are trying to compete again and I think this will push additive manufacturing to a point whole body panels are being made.

I imagine 3D printed metal will make on-the-fly parts production easier with no more logistics nightmare. Would even work for vintage parts provided they're in a CAD-like file that the printer can base on.

If you had a good 3d scanner and if companies would come up with good software to turn that scan into a usable model, any part you would ever need could be made.

Divergent is the parent company of Czinger. I mentioned their cars on one of your live chats last year and it slipped through the cracks. Their design and manufacturing process is going to turn a bunch of industries upside down. They mentioned several OEMs are licensing their tech now

Don't think old exotics are going to go back to ICE, often times its the conversion that's what gets it back on the road rather than scrapheap. The comfort of modern cars is why restomods are so popular.

Yeah I could have bagged on a bunch of builds but didn't show any of the bad stuff I saw, I really do agree with a lot of people saying SEMA should inspect the cars on the way in and if they aren't finished or poorly done turn them away. The first few years would be a low number of builds but after that I think it would really help the show because right now walking around half the stuff looks like its marketplace unfinished projects.

Like I said to Elon Musk in a conversation....Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Hydrogen are forever. Batteries are temporary. Then I told Elon...Your so smart, your stupid to keep producing battery-operated cars. Thanks for your video, Dave. I couldn't go to S.E.M.A..
