2024 Tesla model 3 LR All of my steering buttons stop working and working randomly, after 4 Tesla service visits and now 3 months and no solution. Do you have any issues? Help?
Best is whatever your first car was, because that's what got you into cars.
Awesome interview!
he is not going anywhere
Imagine being this dude saying America has world leading disability care.. lol check out Australia she wouldn’t be paying a cent for the wheelchair
Best car I’ve ever driven was a 93 Corrado SLC VR6. And I’ve driven Vipers, Mustang SVO’s, Cobras, Saleens, etc. but that Corrado was the most perfect mixture of power, steering ability, and sounds that I’ve ever driven.
GOOD JOB!
the Ukrainians have a boat that travels 1000 kms with a similar design of a Ski-doo jet drive, why or have you already crunched the numbers on one or two jet drives? Probably a weight consideration.........thanks from Canada.
Making boats for a specific reason means you are limiting your customer base. I want a jet boat to take up Hell's Canyon on the Snake River.
🙋♂️THANKS AL,RYAN AND MUNRO FOR SHARING THE FUTURE OF BOATING 😎💚💚💚
Our pleasure!
Thanks
Welcome
Great interview!
Thanks Eric!
WE HOPE ERIC CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN 🤗👍😎💚💚💚
🙋♂️ WHAT ABOUT TORODIAL PROPS 🤷♂️
🙋♂️THANKS AL, AND MUNRO FOR INTERVIEWING RYAN 🧐😎💚💚💚
I want a bass boat that can fish all day mostly with trolling speeds, L3 charge, with battery interchange with trailer that has hub motors and torque sensors, so the boat can power the trailer and assist the tow vehicle. 17ft please. ;)
265k for a ski boat ?
I think the world is trying to tell you something you're not ready to hear. But if you're associated with the tear down jesus, you'll do good either way. No idea who u r btw 😂
i'm skeptical that surfing behind a boat is becoming the most popular sport. maybe he meant most popular boat-based sport
cool
THANKS MUNRO 🤗 FOR SHARING THE FUTURE OF BOATING 😎💚💚💚
You should wait until Tesla tell you what to say.
In my country where Chinese brands are available, Tesla is way out in front but the Chinese brands BYD and MG are having an impact by offering very good entry level cars at reasonable prices. The KIA and Hyundai, Polestar(Volvo) offerings are good but it is the entry level prices which are most interesting to watch.
I got one last fall, best car I’ve ever owned or driven! I even like it for road trips.
Excellent thank you
You are very welcome
Core problem is the battery and range we all know about the befits and capabilities of EVs
They actuslly mislead people on the drag race not activating launch mode in the Rivian, not only that, they claimed it was the first car that use steer by wire technology
"Credit to the oem's to manufacture so many electrics that the charging stations are insuficient" smh, are these ppl for real?
"The manufacturer from the west coast"...Why so much aprehension to say Tesla? Also, 400v charging architecture is not obsolete bcz of 800v.
No. Thanks.
Isn't it incredible how much Tesla has driven the industry to do things differently?
Good answer
Only 10% or 20% of Americans can afford an expensive EV. Make a car that most people can actually afford.
First 😎 👍🏻
Thank you for being here! 🥇
@@munrolivepodcast no place I'd rather be. 💯🥰
Cars don't need exoskeletons. At the end of the day... the Cybertruck is NOT for truck customers.
4680 dry is the key
Great to see 3 of my hero’s here, Sandy, Robert & Kryton!, very best wishes from Oxford in the U.K.!
Now that was a brilliant show you must do that again thanks Sandy and Robert 👍👍
America is going to be left in the dust, with only one on-shore EV manufacturer, while the rest of the world advances and American automotive experts opine about seatbelts being an unnecessary luxury item. Just in the news today - more protectionist measures to coddle American uncompetitive industries.
None of us us want an internet connected vehicle. It grants governments exploitation rights
Wrong question. Is manufacturing evolving to lower costs of manufacturing? Everything keeps getting more expensive and only Tesla is innovating new ways to lower production costs. To many companies just focus on installing new tec. so the vehicle gets more advanced, but at the same time the vehicle price increases dramatically. What percent of buyers can afford $100k vehicles? It is like your question is misleading, yes tec. and safety are meeting customer demands, but what about customers needs for lower cost vehicles, are companies adequately evolving for that NEED. No. How many years did Sandy promote castings and no one wanted to use them? Perfect example on how the OEMs are NOT meeting customer pricing needs.
Do you see those production cost savings being passed on to the customer?
My biggest pet peeve is the lack of designing in maintainability. The key to reducing consumer pricing, and contributing to the waste stream is having the car fixable and repair parts and supplies reasonably priced. And repair information readily available.
It's disappointing that in the US market we still don't have a good selection of small trucks with high utility options. Thinking here about Toyota's recent bare bones platform. At least there the DIY person can choose how to build out the bed platform. But in general a small compact truck with smart utility functions is still highly desirable. However it seems we are still living in a world where the mentality is to just put a box on the back and call it a day. But a truly convertible modular design would be a huge plus. The Cybertruck is a perfect example of that old model of thought. As one simple example, here in the US we don't even have folding truck bed sides like on a Kai truck or similar.
The most hideous monstrosity of a motor vehicle ever created, it looks like it was designed by a six year old & built by his grandfather in his shed.
Just ban all cars,problem solved!
Time is the ultimate informer, and it'll be letting us know when the industry has evolved nearer to a Tesla standard. Elon relocated ALL goalposts for volume manufacturing.... or even making a demo.
Will you construct the "MUNRO Speedster," a custom-built 48 volt, limited edition vehicle powered by solid-state batteries?
Thats rich! a building full of engineers that tear down EV's who experience power outages! What happens to all those batteries! I refuse to believe someone didn't at least think of putting together a few battery packs to create a backup power generator! I can see it now: 'why is bobs cubicle lighted up like a christmas tree when the power just went out?!?!... oh he put together a couple leaf batteries last week'.
I had semi-serious dizziness/light headedness. I thought it was low blood sugar. I needed to get a Snickers bar ASAP. Only FSD got me to the store safely. I barely got to the checkout, almost ate it first, then paid. Then I had 20 minute drive home. I used FSD to my driveway. Could I have made it? Probably, but knowing the car was going to keep me safe if the worst happened. The fact that I wouldn't have been able to get home without FSD because too risky. Thankfully after a couple hours I was fine. Hoping it isn't a precursor to stroke/heart attack. Either way. No other car could have bailed me out like my Tesla.
Or you could go carnivore diet fix all your dietary issues & never need to eat snickers again. Stop eating sugar & carbs. It’s killing you.
I hope this is sarcasm.
If your blood-sugar level is so poorly controlled, then you probably shouldn’t be driving at all. Think of all the people who could be injured or die because of your poor choices. Just buy a monitor that sends blood-sugar info to your phone - your doctor probably has recommendations.
@@alexwilsonpottery3733 It's the third time in 30 years. I just happen to know what hypoglycemia does and how to fix it. I'm not diagnosed with any issues. And the only reason I drove to the store was because it was 100 yards away. But the drive home, it was nice to know, should the worse happen and I have a heart attack (dizziness is also an early sign of heart attacks) the car would protect me and other drivers.
I know what I demand: A FASTER HORSE!
Look at BYD for rapid evolution. More R&D engineers than all US-based automakers combined. 24 months from development start to full production. ~3-4 year product cycles, with new generation platforms under the new generation vehicles (not just a new body on an old platform). They are engineering cost out faster than prices are dropping, with a 28.1% automotive gross margin 1Q (offset somewhat by a 71% YoY increase in R&D). Engineering cost out, rather than squeezing suppliers or trying to squeeze more years out of older platforms. They already have vehicles beyond 800v and are bringing innovations like electromagnetic suspension to production vehicles... Protectionism isolates us somewhat in the US, but the evolution is happening very quickly for the vehicles we can't get.
Yes, from a US perspective Tesla is fantastically innovative but from a European perspective they aren't in the running, given how limited their model range is and how slowly they release new hardware compared to the Chinese competition (who have a ton of different EVs each all at affordable prices). The race is already over here and Tesla didn't win. Yes they will still sell a bunch and have a good minority market share but they have zero chance of dominating the market. If only they'd offered a range of affordable cars; they have some of the best tech, software and factories but it matters little if you don't produce the wide range of affordable vehicles that people want to buy.
@@tsedge99that is a somewhat fictitious interpretation. Tesla is doing very well in Europe as it is everywhere. It is losing market share, but that was always inevitable, given that for a long time, there was almost nothing but Tesla available. Chinese cars will do very well here, but they’re not yet. BYD has been shipping vastly increased volumes in recent months but they’re sitting unsold at this point. Tesla’s range of five vehicles has an enormous advantage over other manufacturers with their 20 or so models - they get true economies of scale, while the others don’t.
@@tsedge99 dude European cars (German) are over engineered snowflakes and are failing fast world wide.
BYD are highly conservative following a 20C gameplan for automotive success. Model numbers do not count and are counter to manufacturing efficiency and ROIC. Tesla spends more on R&D (>US$10B in 2024) than all the automotives together, but not just on automotive hardware. Compute, data and AI software is the goal and the moneymaker. BYD do not believe autonomy is possible, Telsa is all in on AI and robotics.
@@waynerussell6401 You are mistaken on Tesla's R&D spend ($4 B in 2023). Tesla spends less than BYD and does it in a country where each dollar does not go as far. And their spend is less focused as well. R&D expenditure is in their income statement under operating expenses.
