  1. They say big pickups are compensating for a small wand. The cyber urinal looks like it's overcompensating for a bad childhood from being raised by narcissistic parents.

    I guess you might see them towing a couple jet skis or a clamshell luggage trailer. They might make it towing 50 miles when new and the range will diminish "slightly" after that. If it's cold, you can only go downhill.

  2. I've always valued your videos for their insights on car selection and negotiation tactics with dealerships. Your efforts and honesty are truly appreciated. But I've noticed a strong bias against Tesla in your content, which seems to conflict with your otherwise objective stance. While it's true that Tesla, with its unique approach to EVs, direct sales model, and Elon Musk aka Electric Jesus' fellowship, challenges conventional automotive norms, they have also shown remarkable success, challenging the skepticism of many, including myself. I believe acknowledging Tesla's achievements may give you more credibility. Focusing solely on criticism, especially if perceived as driven by youtube views, might compromise your impartiality and reputation. An open minded approach towards Tesla and EVs in general could maintain the integrity and seriousness of your analysis, aligning it with the evolving automotive reality.

  3. Have to say this guy is a crack pot.

    Clearly an advocate for Legacy auto but what’s funny even though Sixt is dropping Tesla… a quote from the news story.

    “Nevertheless, a spokesperson for the firm said it still plans to electrify as much as 90 per cent of its European rental fleet by the end of a decade.”

    But the really punch line is on the front page of this guys website, he’s offering to save you money on a Tesla lease as they are as cheap as Corolla… here is the quote

    “Electric about as affordable as an average Toyota Corolla – and get a great deal here.”

    Unbelievable that he’s tell his YouTube followers Tesla are rich people toys but on his website they are affordable.

    Clearly an expert in BS.

  4. Hertz announced its plans in 2021 to purchase 100,000 Tesla EVs by the end of 2022. Hertz currently has only 50,000 EVs in its fleet end of 2023, with 35,000 of them being Teslas. They only have 11% EVs but by 2030 they will have 90% EVs, aha… lol

  5. Cybertruck built for any planet ? I'm curious as to how the batteries will adapt from 14.7 p.s.i. (mean pressure on Earth) to Mars atmospheric pressure of…..1.47 p.s.i. ??
    Feel free to correct me on those numbers…BUT my understanding is….Li-ion batteries do have a high altitude warning – OR did I just dream that??? cough

  6. Man! I was proven (to myself!) right when I subscribed to your hannel and found myself to be a returning guest of yours. I swear, you go deepest of them all in touching my funny bone and in the process educate me on issues that I suspect will be important for our collective futures. Good? Bad? Well, it depends on who you ask. The WEF (whif, whif, something nasty smells here) or me (and you). It is not fair. This having to balance shit with anything else is crap. After all, it is not like all urines are the same. Ask Tesla. They will swear up and down that their's is the best smelling urine in the Universe. Universe? Yes. Did you forget that Tesla put one of their urinals in unbound orbit???
    Well, to come back to us, thank you dude for your many class acts and for giving us the help to live in total disdain or to die of rabies originating in the pit of our whatever or organ of the day one might choose.

  7. Let's abolish the government leverages for EVs, which force people who don't own EVs to help pay for their manufacture, sale and use. Then all of us, including the EV cult members, might see what value there is owning and operating an EV as impractical as the cyber urinal.

  8. Tesla´s business model evolves around catching people with rather "low" purchase prices… but they will make up for that with insane repair costs that will drain your wallet faster then you can say "oh sh*t".
    Dropping the purchase costs even more to sell more stock is surely not helping with resale values. But as this isn´t going to make them profit anyways… let´s just alienate them too.

  9. I could see the cyber urinal an good thing for grumpy old men with prostate issues on road trips not needing to look for toilets anymore rust somewhere to charge it.
    I could invision a new life for it following team bus when the bladders are ready to burst once the lads are off home after the rugby game with hours of drinking under the belt.
    Once on a trip as above that i was on was able to witness a Mercedes getting a golden shower.
    This dream might be short lived for those who dare to use it as it might be the same as taking a leak on a substation or a electric fence.
    Could be a good thing at concerts where tiolets are in short supply.
    Might qualfy for Guinness record for fasest urinal?
    Might be good in the tour de France to keep cyclists on the move so it might not be all bad just a special place in the world to find its true purposes.
