Are they going to stick to that? Of course, we don't know for sure. I Feel like there's two camps on that right now? I'm going to do show of hands here. So there's a camp that thinks that no way they're going to keep to $80,000 that the high end will be around 100,000 cuz why not? And then there's the camp that I think is I'm in which is just a hopeful Camp which is like please keep it under 80,000 So show Hands! Who here thinks that it's going to be above $100,000 for the high-end cyber truck? So okay, I'm getting just a couple really not many, three, four, five, six. Okay, this more not I wouldn't say a majority.

Okay, now who thinks that it's going to be what did you say? Yeah, Uh, below that. so $80,000 $80,000 Oh, we're seeing a lot more hands so you're on the wishful thinking or it's probably somewhere in between. Okay, so that's what we're hoping for. We got a lot of hopeful folks here today.

I'm excited. So Elon if you're listening, that's what we would like. Okay, we have spoken. We would like it under 80,000 please.

That's I mean that's what I'm hoping for me too. Um let's talk about snow plows for a second. I know So I know we're here in Austin Texas Sometimes you get snow and the reason your whole city falls apart no offense is because you don't need snow plows most of the time. Um, we're up from up north where it's snows all the time and we get all tons and tons of snow.

Um, we just checked out the Cyber truck and we think we have a hack that we could get a snow plow on there day one. So I want to preface this um I Want to? Uh I want to give credit where credits do but I am bad with names which is always hard to do credit. Um, we are going to definitely come out with a video where we're going to give him good credit. Um, we met a guy who has put a front plow on his Ford F150 Lightning and the way that he did that is very creative.

Um and we have been able to put a snowplow on our Ford F150 Lightning uh using the tow hooks. So if you don't know if you've never seen a pickup truck before, um, although we're in Austin Texas so I imagine you have. Usually you have some nice beefy hooks or loops on the front of the truck. nice down low and that's for either Towing the truck out of mud or being able to tow another vehicle out of mud or whatever.

Those hooks are bolted onto the frame of the truck and if you know anything about a plow, you need to get to the frame of the truck. You can't mount a plow to the front fascia of your truck. It will destroy it. So what we found was if you take off those those hooks on the front of your truck, they have two bolts you then go go to Harbor Freight You go to Harbor Freight You get two-inch hitch receiver.

You drill two holes that will accept those two bolts. You put those two bolts back in with a hitch receiver. Now you have two 2-in hitch receiver tusks on the front of your truck already. Looks badass.

You don't have to do anything more than way better than the toe hooks you can. even because it's a hitch receiver. you can put hooks back whatever hooks you want. Um, and what we did was we took a big old heavy Steel Square tube uh bar welded on to things that would be accepted into a hitch receiver and then we have this huge steel bumper on the front of our truck.

Um and I think that we you could do that on the Cyber Tru and then onto that steel bar you could attach a snowplow. yes or whatever you like because I think the cybertruck has the same problem that the F-150 Lightning has. which which is that they had to move the radiator down. Um, and when you move it down, you then block where you normally put the plow.

but this kind of hack going through the tow hooks I think could be the way. Um, because I think it'd be great on day one if you could actually plow with the Cyber Tru Now let's talk about Towing Okay, Towing 11,000 lbs 11,000 lb. That's what they said in the showrooms. Okay, so I don't know if that's one particular Varian or that's all across all variants cuz we were told there would be three different toe uh toe amounts.

right? 14,000 I think 10,900 7500. So I don't know if this is across all of them or just one of them. So let's talk about what that means what 11,000 lb means for a truck and towing. Um, because I think that a lot of people they don't get to lift trailers very often with their hands and be like, yep, that's 11,000 lb.

It's it's hard to look at something and know how much that thing is going to weigh. Are you going to do that? Now you're just going to point to trailers and say the trailer over there. Maybe we can get, uh, get SC cam to kind of go walk over to that trailer and I want everyone to kind of take a guess. Do you think that over or under 11,000 What do we think of this food truck? Over or under 11,000 lb? Okay, we got some.

We got some Unders. I'm getting a lot of Unders. We got some now. We keep in mind there's stuff in the trailer.

There's stuff in the trailer. We don't know what's in the trailer. I'm going to think that I'm going to say that I think everyone here is correct. that is going to be under 11 I Just want to say both both the people from Space campers are saying under and they know what they're talking about.

So I'm going to go with them on this. Yes, so smallish trailers like that are going to be way under 11,000 lb. 11,000 lb is a lot. Well, so to give you some idea, we towed with the Rivan and the Ford.

We towed a mini excavator, big diesel mini excavator with a big heavy trailer and that was 14,000 lb, right? So yeah, I think that's way under 11. So in terms of in in terms of Trail ERS Trailers by the way, are usually full of air because you're supposed to be living in there and so that air is not typically very heavy and uh, you don't have to, you can get a pretty decent Siz trailer that's going to be under 11,000 lb. So are you like a Tesla salesman? Here you're saying 11,000 is good enough I think 11,000 is pretty darn good. Um, once you start getting above that, that's when you start to see like the the more beefier trucks the Ford F250s and stuff like that that are going to be.

But I Do want to push back a little bit here here on the Um event Day in 2019. Behind Elon was a screen that showed some stats and the stat went up to 14,000 It also said the payload would be 3500. Now we know that the payload at least on one of the variants, is 2500. Are you surprised? Uh, is that because they had to add extra batteries or what, right? So one possibility is that the extra batteries that they'd have to add to get a range that you'd like would impede with the payload of the truck.

Um, that would probably it could have to do with the you know, the gross vehicle weight. You can't exceed a certain limit um, without requiring special licensing and and stuff like that. So adding more batteries definitely can take away some of that payload at least at least legally. is.

Um, that stands for something something. Basically, it's the plastic bed. It's something something compound. Yeah, Um, it's so.

it's a glass fill plastic. Uh, yes. And so glass reinforced plastic is typically very strong. But the question is, is that bed liner simply sitting in a steel bed? Or is it kind of picking up some of the weight? That guy could use a cyber Tru right now? Yes, with the Uh with the rear wheel steering.

Um, so you think that this plastic is somehow limiting the payload weight? It's potentially it could. Um, maybe they will have not a stainless steel. It could be that they have a stainless steel variant, which which could allow you to have a higher payload. So that kind of leads me to the question about options.

Okay, Tesla typically doesn't like options, right? Because the fewer paint colors, the fewer options. the cheaper they can make it. Do you think they're going to have options on this truck? So back in the old days of Tesla back when you could buy a Model, S or model X and that was it? Um, the model? X When you configured your model X there were something like how many configurations I think there's like 1,00 possible configurations, right? And so there were so many different options that you could put on this vehicle. um, to make it really your own.

And the colors and all the all sorts of different uh, Little, Things, One thing or another. Tesla has totally moved away from that. um, especially with the Model 3 and model y. Um, it's like what do you want? the interior color, what do you want, the exterior, and what do you want to be? Uh, kind of the tires.

Um, those are your only real options for the wheels and so I feel like Tesla's going to kind of stick to that. It's going to be like we have certain variants of our of our vehicles and maybe you're going to be you can't change the paint color. Maybe you can get the wrap, but that's a completely separate product I Think that. Um, but speaking of options, what about the um, the ramp to get into the back of the bed? Let's talk about seen and I Was looking closely at this release candidate that we saw today and I didn't see any indication that there was a ramp.

Um, let's just do show a hands. Who thinks we saw a ramp on in 2019? We all want a ramp. I Know that how many think there's going to be a ramp to get into the bed of the cybertruck? H If you think there's going to be a ramp I Saw I saw two, three, four. Oh no.

the crowd's usually right and uh, five, six. All right. All right, it's not a very hopeful crowd. How many don't think they're going to be? There's going to be a ramp? Uhoh oh.

I Really want the ramp? Jesse I Really wanted the ramp too. and I mean remember that squat mode where it kind of squatted down helped you get stuff on and off the the trailer? I I mean the uh, the tailgate? I Just don't. Do you think that's be an option though? CU It would just be a separate tailgate that they would make right? It could be I could see a third party ramp. potentially third party.

R You never know if you can pop off the tailgate which you can do on most trucks and you do see some fancy third party tailgates on on trucks. It usually just has an American flag stripe or something going down the the back of it, but it it's not impossible for it to be a a ramp. Interesting. Um, if J Garcia is around I would love to have you come on up because J's got a really cool perspective.

He's uh, been driving the rivan and uh I don't know I was talking to him today when we were looking at the cybertruck itself and he wasn't like all of us I think our miles were open and we were just like this is the Cyber truck U but he wasn't and I I would love to get his perspective on it cuz you know he's a big Eevee guy so ju if you're around, come on up to the stage. I would love to talk to you about this. Oh and by the way I Want to thank our sponsors today everyone! Big shout out to Lex Art! So awesome that they're here today! We're going to talk about more about why, what they're doing and why they're here. um expel.

If you look on the street you're going to see nothing but Teslas and so many of them are covered with XEL so that is so cool. um ligh horse is here and Hensen shaving is here and Jesse has some stuff he's going to talk about although he hasn't hasn't shaved lately. Yeah, haven't shaved. uh no shaved.

November um November's almost over Dude Kind of wishing I you know I could but so thank you to our sponsors. they made this whole thing possible and the big big shout out to corporate streams. Everything you see here today is because Noah and his team at Corporate Streams have been working overnight crazy hours to get this all looking great for us. So thank you so much! Noah and thank you to the weather because I mean it.

it is still a little overcast but I was expecting like wor worse weather. So I mean we're from New England it was. It's I think 22 degrees where we just came from. um and so we're just t-shirts right now.

This feels great. Yeah, knock on wood. there's J come on up hey J Garcia everybody you can check out his YouTube channel. you probably all know who he is.

Thank you so much dude! a mhone right over there grabbing the so J we have a fence so don't worry, you can say whatever you feel. uh, fence I Feel like you're not the biggest cybertruck fan? Okay, well. I Aesthetically, I'm not the biggest fan of the Cyber truck. Oh wait, by the way I look like a schmunk with this.

Well, you don't like the sweeping curves and the um. okay. so when I saw it I wasn't initially a fan, right? I think things grow on people and so I think pretty soon it's going to be the norm and people are going to accept it right? But I'm talking about you though. Has it grown on you yet? It's taken a while I Still not 100% on board with that, but of course I haven't seen the production other than the one that was here earlier and I as you saw I didn't go up close to it and I was like looking at in okay but so to you is it like the little intricate things that makes you love it or hate it? Or is it just the overall aesthetic I think it was the overall aesthetic but like as I was talking to you earlier, it's changed.

The original Cyber Truck was not the same shape as this one. the production right? It feels like the original was more of a pyramid. like more more pointy, right? Yes, it was a big grotesque I would say he used the word grotesque folks J Garcia Everybody I I know I know there's a lot of fans here, but uh, that was just my opin. but um, it's You know there are other renders that I saw in the internet about cyber fine other cars and I was like oh my God like that's amazing so it's not I think it was just a Dimensions I think that's what I was you know, is this just because you're a Rivan truck owner now oo fallen in love with that that oval no well light in the front.

Well I did like this the Rivan truck as soon as I saw it. and by the way, I didn't like the Rivan truck I like the Rivan? uh SUV oh you like the R1s? Yes, that's what I signed up for. but because they made us buy the truck first. So then we're all got to be the stupid truck, you know? But I'm not really a truck fan.

so I think that might be another reason why I'm not a huge fan of this type of truck, right? Um, and so because I have a truck and then I have the SUV And as I was telling you before, I'm a bigger fan of the SUV and I think most people on this street are a fan of the SUV Well let me stop you there. so you're not a fan of trucks in general. like you're more of a van guy, right? Yes, I can say minivan. Um, classic minivans.

classic minivans. When we started driving trucks, um I found so much use for them had did you do the same thing? Did you start throwing stuff in the back that you hadn't thought of before? um I Want to say traditionally I would I started in the trades I'm a carpenter by trade, You nice, you know? really? Carpenters Oh okay, yes. So I'm a carpenter by trade and so yeah, for many years in my life and a previous life and this one. uh I I tow around uh, boxes of tools and I would throw them in like a mini truck and stuff you know.

And so yeah. I think now I have a company and we carry big heavy stuff and I have thrown big stuff on there and my fancy truck you know? Uh yes, you mean you put it in very carefully. Well, yes no. I have dented like I've scratched the thing.

you know what I mean like So now it looks like there's stuff that's been back. Oh so you've dented up your truck, not dented it but scratched the liner. You know what I mean which by the way is not that very hard that liner's you know it's the truck's not really for work. No, it's it's for Adventures it's for Adventures people.

it's like a it's a fancy car that looks like a truck. That's how I would explain it. Uh, because trucks very small bed with the very small bed. You know trucks don't do three, you know, 06 in 3 seconds.

So it's not really a yeah. Can we talk about bed size for a second? So I don't want to get too personal. but uh, but bed size on the rivan I think is what? 54 in if I remember correctly. Um, whereas on the Cyber Tru we just learned it's going to be 72 72 right? So I feel like yeah, there's a whole bunch of things I tried to put in the rivan and then we were like oh, this doesn't fit without the tailgate down well I Want to talk about that for a second? The 72 in where is that measured to is that the biggest Dimension or is that the smallest Dimension because in the back of the cybertruck, if you've seen it, um right at the right at the bed level goes all the way back then it comes to uh, the the cab section.

there's no midgate. sad face uh comes up but then it kind of angles in it looks like. So my question is this is the 72 in just along the bed which is helpful because if you're moving flat Goods like plywood and stuff like that, that's good. um but you know if I want to store like a bike or something tall, is it going to be able to be 72 in from the bottom to the top? So what dimension is it? Cuz maybe the bed's even longer.

Maybe the bed at the bottom is even longer than it is towards the top, That would be great I mean and by the way, why 72 in? Because if you're trying to put a Ply a sheet of plywood, well that's not 72 in. it's more like 84 or something like that, right? I mean you're going to have to put the tailgate down right? It's mainly because I think if if you go for a full 8ft bed and the crew cab, you're just talking very hard to park. Yes, well, let's talk about parking. Rivan is pretty easy to park.

Okay, well no I find that okay the the camera. It's a god. Like it's a godsent right? like without that camera. I'm terrible at parking.

My wife is a lot better than me. parking like she's just pulls up in there now. obviously she's driven the Rivian more than me. I got a, you know, the truck only as a, you know, hand me-- down kind of thing.

but uh I find it hard to park that truck, especially in La The parking spots are small everywhere you go and so it's I think it's borderline. It's not as big as like a F 250 or something like those are really hard apart. So yeah it it's doable. But it's not the easiest thing in the world going from a smaller model 3.

That's what we used to drive before the Rivion. Uh yeah, it's A. it's A. it's a difference.

Like, there's quite bit of difference. What about the rear steering? So on the Cyber truck, there's going to be rear steering I Don't know if that's going to be in all the variants or not, but rear steering seems like it could be a game changer in terms of not only Towing but just you know. tight turns and all that. Yeah, uh I have closer.

yeah closer. Um, get that base in there. I Have found on the truck that it doesn't turn very tight and I have had to do this Austin power thing back and forth. so I don't know if it's the same with the R1s.

I So the R1s is one foot shorter so it does turn a little bit quicker. I think it's going to be great on the on the on the Cyber truck that you have rear. Theory I Think it's going to make a huge difference. It's going to prevent you from having to do the all right.

So you're one of those people who didn't quite buy into the look right away. That's fine, a lot of people didn't but what I want to ask you is how soon do you think it'll be before? Or do you think that this will be true? That the kind of world will just start to accept this design and then want more of this design? I think one, two three. There we go. I think it's going to happen quickly like I was explaining to you earlier about the DeLorean right? which I think it has a similar aesthetic s similar materials and stuff and I think had we had I been alive and an adult in the days when it shipped out and it first I think I would have thought the same thing.

It's kind of a stupid thing. why is it like so Square why is it like where's the paint You know like I wanted in where's the paint? Where's the paint like come on like I'm paying all this money and you don't even get a p paint Come on. So but once we saw the movie Back to the Future Back to the Future then all we all became a fan. it.

and I Want to say that big portion of our fandom for that car is the movie. It's what makes us feel look Aesthetics is are very important in cars like I drive what is essentially the world's worst car. It's a 1950s BW bus. This is a terrible car and like any way you look at it, it's a terrible car.

It's under. You know it's just terrible, but but people love it. But we all love it because it's iconic because we grew up with it because uh, aesthetically, it looks this little round little was it in any kind of movies that made that way. or is it just.

it's just so beautiful. It's just in culture, yeah yeah in culture, but but I want to push back on the DeLorean because if the DeLorean wasn't in Back to the Future and let's say it was a I don't know a Corvette that Marty goes back to the future in. uh, do you think it's everyone's going to remember oh that's the Back to the Future car. Or was it really smart of the filmmaker to choose the DeLorean because the DeLorean really encapsulated what a time machine car should look like? Well did you know that the filmmakers got approached by Ford and they got offer $75,000 if the time machine was a Mustang and he said oh uh Dr what was the character Dr Brown does not drive a Mustang like so they refus that So I Want to say that because of the Aesthetics That's why we all because it's weird.

It's supposed to be weird. It's supposed to to be not a normal car. So do you think if the cybertruck was in some big movies coming up or something that that would do the trick? That would do the trick I think for the mass Market although I don't think it needed look I'm obviously wrong because there's a million reservations. 2.1 million oh two now of course I will have to say that it's $100 and I mean that's how much we spend on a fancy dinner, you know.

And so so the commitment is. Are you saying that there's people out there who aren't going to want their truck truck? You're saying that there's people out there who reserved more than one cyber truck that they might not buy? I mean for the same amount of money that it took me to reserve my rivan I could have reserved 10 cyber trucks? So yes, I Want to say that there's going to be quite a bit a few people that are okay because there's a lot of things that have changed right since then. The price has gone up. We we don't know.

oh we don't know. We don't know. But the price have to increase because I don't think did we have a price way back in day? oh we didn't. Okay so you're just signing up to just a truck without knowing the price.

So now that well I mean Elon gave us some prices but we don't know if they're going to be true. No, we know they're not going to be true, right? We come on. Who are we getting here like? All right, what do you think the prices are going to be I want to say they're going to be. they're going to be like like like similar to Rivan.

they're going to be 80 and then top trims are going to be 90 100. Oh you think starting price 80 75 Maybe 75. That's where I to get in under the federal tax credit? yes but you think that's the starting like rear wheeel drive yeah I would say interesting is that is that different than what other people are saying or I don't I don't know cuz I don't we don't know I mean we we We really don't know. that's I mean that's what today is all about I guess I Want to ask you in the in the audience.

Do you think we're going to actually find out the price today? or is that somehow going to be kept? Under Wraps Do you think the early delivery people are going to sign an NDA and we're not going to know no? I I Thought that's what today is about I mean we're supposed to find out what's the point of having the event it's a secret truck. although I am surprised I thought actual customers were going to get trucks today I thought and I thought you were going to get a truck I would love that Yes if you're watching Tesla Come on uh but as I'm hearing from people, it's just XX right? So it's just test of people. So this is like we, yeah again we don't know I mean we heard there's going to be 10 trucks delivered right? But again, this could be a big secret. you know.

big surprise from from Elon I don't know. Okay how how many of you out there think it's just going to be 10 trucks delivered today? So show of hands. if you think it's just going to be 10 trucks delivered. Seeing some pretty good hands here? Okay and then how many think it's going be more than 10 trucks delivered today? Let's let's do this again and be a little bit more specific.

Who think thinks that there will be 10 trucks delivered at the event today? It's probably going to be the same number of hands cuz how could they deliver? You know all right now, who thinks that they're going to deliver more than 10 cyber trucks? Not at the event? Oh You mean just across the country at just a regular old delivery? Center somewhere in America anybody? Not many, just a couple hopefuls like us. So just the delivery event. let's talk about tomorrow. What about tomorrow? How many cyber trucks do you think? Do you think that we're going to sell more than 10 tomorrow? Or I'm seeing some hands? Yeah, But what would be the advantage from a press point of view if he does it tomorrow? Because tomorrow the Press has already reported on what happened today.

it seems like of course, yeah, no. I'm saying like are they going to start actual deliveries to actual people who don't get to go to the event? That's the question that I want to ask. they they do have many on around the country in showrooms right? Yes, right? Okay, and that just started I mean very recently Very and so people are getting their fir hand s on on a truck. Uh, that's going to be very powerful I Want to say the only truck I've ever seen before the one this morning which I didn't expect very closely was the one at the Peterson Museum and that one's rough.

Oh yeah, so talk about the Peterson Museum So you were saying that you saw something pretty cool there in terms of the evolution from of Tesla Yeah, yeah. So the Peter M museum is in LA and is this you know, great museum that has Automotive History right? And so they have the bottom floor which was reserved for well, for the best you know displays. Uh now it's all Tesla like the entire bottom floor Is it? Yes the entire bottom floor is Tesla and it goes all the way from the beginning from the meal from the cars that they started converting that were they started as gas cars and then you know they converted them in house. uh all the way now to the latest ones right? and so youd see the whole iteration.

You know you see all the steps. Um for someone like me who has been a fan of Tesla since the very beginning it's very powerful because the stuff that was folklore like stuff that was like you'd hear the stories of this car when they built it, they went and bought you know power tools to take out the batteries and like it's there. like the the all those stories like you're like oh this is the the thing that now for years now it's a decade right? uh that you've been listening if you were a crazy fan like like some of us are, you get to see them right there and so they also have the the Tesla Ster truck in there which was a pre-production was uh as far as I understand was just a prototype no wasn't a prototype. What is a what do they call real early model? Yeah and it it it was kind of rough.

You you can you mean rough like body panels and fitment and stuff like that. Yeah that and it it it was I think bigger than the ones that. we have today. um the corners weren't like 100% together.

it was yeah it was. It was weird. It looked a little prototype. yeah protot typy I would say that's what it and then these ones look a little bit more refined.

They do have kind of like round I see so when you're talking refined you're meaning in some of the design features like more of the the small things that you you have small things and the big things because also yeah they like I say that rooftop thing was the pitches were different. what do you think about the windshield wiper? We saw that today going pretty fast um and we first time I've seen it up close actually working. What? What were your thoughts? Uh it's keep in mind you're Southern California right? So you're only thinking about rain hardly ever rigns in California What about snow? We got some Canadians asking the big questions Yes I I don't know I mean isn't there some Physics here that say that it's going to be hard to move all that ice and stuff off the windshield? Yeah I think it was uh oh. who said if I had a lever long enough I could move the Earth uh this is a pretty long lever but it's yes aredes in the in the in the worst way here.

um it's going to need to be pretty strong in order to move that that ice and snow off of the windshield. But there's one other thing I want to talk about is that normally your windshield wiper starts like this and it needs to go move all that snow out of the way and mine usually makes it to about there and then it goes back down because I should have cleaned my windshield. Um, the Cyber truck windshields like this and the glass goes oh right. It goes right down to the to the hood of the Cyber truck and it goes and then it's flat.

So I think that that windshield wiper just has to goo and just just just sweep that snow right out out of the way. I think that's all it's going to do I think I think that it might actually work better if you if you warm up the truck a little bit you probably don't even need you probably don't even need the windshield wiper to get the snow off. Really, you think it's going to slide right off on the model three I Have a model Three I heat it up for about 20 25 minutes. Get the interior nice and hot.

There's a layer of snow that starts to melt right at the back and then and it's yeah. it's icy and then then it slides right off the back. It doesn't do that on the front because you have this big dam in the way it tries to slide down. It can't go anywhere on the Cyber truck it's going to.

That's a really interesting point. There's no other car or truck that I can think of that has that detail right where the hood meets the windshield like that. Usually you've got that, uh, hidden area so to speak. a city bus city bus.

It's not in the same orientation at all, but that's the only thing that I can think of. We have the windshield wiper kind of up it. usually. maybe it goes down, maybe it swipes AC cross.

but and no snow is ever going to accumulate on a city bus. but it it's flat between the windshield and the front. it's just in this case we' we're tilting it back well and it's going to have to be really strong motor because it's a giant yeah windshield wiper and it has two dual blades, right? We know that it has dual blades I I read that somewhere. One blade? yeah.

dual. Oh, it's dual blade in the single track. Yeah, oh interesting. yeah.

I don't know. I think I read that online somewhere last week or something. so someone confirm I guess they went and picked it up and like, oh, this. um, it would.

Did you learn that on the internet on the internet? Yes, which uh, apparently not everything in the internet is true I've learned the hard way. But yeah, I think it's going to have to be a really strong motor because it's a giant one and it has to cover that whole thing. and I guess yeah I we from California we forget that there's actually like cold weather. Look at me.

I'm with my jacket over here. You're like in, you're kind on like 70. Just a quick second to take a look behind us and I think on the live stream. we're going to just play uh, this video all by itself.

We're getting some live views from inside the Gigafactory. Um, we're seeing a cyber truck up on a lift which is pretty cool. Lots of cyber lighting and everything. Couple of them.

So what is that telling us? Look at the wheel on that thing. Man, let me get out of the way. look at the wheel. look at that distance.

Now of course this is up on a jack so that's going to. there's no suspension. it's the lowest as could be. but damn that is a lot of room.

Also, there's more than 10 of them. I Know that's is this like last minute fitment before they deliver them to customers? or are these just. uh. so this is all the behind the scenes footage that we're getting right now from it.

Live inside the Gigafactory. Um, and it's a little choppy because uh, it's has to go through the building and then somehow get some cyber trucks. Yeah, and some cyber trucks probably getting in the way. interfering.

That's great I Love getting footage from live at the event. That's That's really awesome. So that's really exciting by way. uh earlier we saw Sandy Monroe show up in one right? Yeah! Sandy Monroe was here with the cybertruck Y which is crazy and we got to see like a Neil uh version like the like what we have in our aridian.

yeah I think it was NE I think when you get out right it was doing a Neil wasn't it? Well no he got out and it was really high. like really really high and then then as he jumped in to leave then it lowered and it was like oh of course I like Lader cars I like the look of Lord cars and so it went and it was like oh my God this is going to be amazing like that is a really good point I mean having the air suspension like we do on the rivan is just a nice feature because you can put it so many different modes on the rivan. What's wrong with that? I'll tell you what's wrong with it goes It goes it does that. It does it in steps and and the brakes go oh not mine, not ours.

that might be a a thing that is that an early model? Uhoh have an early model I have a less than a th and then I have a 5,000 almost 6,000 Okay yeah yeah yeah but I don't it doesn't go up and down. it looks it's it does do that sometimes and the Cyber truck seem to be going down straight now. We've only seen one single instance of that and it I was paying attention. I've seen a couple videos where it's going yeah which is cool.

that's what we want. All I want is also a fog machine under it so it's like a spaceship Landing which I mean it shouldn't be that hard to hook up and I really want one? Yeah, you know. and then I get out with my my green suit on and I'm Bing binging. you know? Well I do want to mention that.

so Sandy Monroe was here earlier in a cyber truck and he will be here later. I Believe Uh so stay tuned because Sandy should be coming back from the event with a cyber truck and we should be able to get a close look at that. and uh, thank you so much to Sandy for for joining us tonight. We're going to have a commercial break pretty soon.

Um so I just want to have everyone aware of that. I'm going to be able to go get a drink and and refresh myself but uh it's It's so lovely to see everybody here. I Want to say hi? I've seen a lot of familiar faces. This is a very fun event.

Um and if you are in Austin and you're watching this live stream, um we'll see if we can get you in. we're at the Luster Pearl East over here in East Austin Um, it's already turning into quite the party! I'm so excited to see everyone here and to all of you online! Welcome! Yeah! I was going to say that mention where it's at uh I was in the process of putting that into my live stream when I heard you guys Hey where's Jam Garcia So I was like oh but yeah if you're an Austin come down. This is going to be a great event. uh right it's yeah.

I mean we've all been waiting for this for so long and I feel like it's it's good for our mental health to all be together on this important day. I Think we need to support each other no matter what we find out today. it's it's better than having the media tell us like Elon Musk said something weird at the event and everyone hates him I think that this is going to be his trucks are not painted and the price was higher than he said 5 years ago. Oh my gosh, yeah yeah.

so thank you everybody who's joining us online. We're going to be here all night. Uh, we're going to be live streaming Tesla's live stream so you're not going to miss anything and we have behind the scenes footage. I Mean we've got people at the event sending us cool cool stuff that you're probably not going to see on their live stream.

So and if you're wondering hey, this isn't my YouTuber what are they doing on my YouTubers YouTube Page live streaming um we are. we are all live streaming together. uh at this big event. So um we're going to be kind of Mcing.

you will definitely see your live your your YouTuber that you follow and are subscrib to here. um so don't worry we're uh, we're Zach and Jesse from the now you know Channel if you haven't seen us before, um and we're going to be covering the whole yeah so all your favorite YouTubers are going to be here today. uh Sandy Monroe is going to be here and a bunch of people we can't even talk about are going to be here. Ooh yeah.

all right I've have been told I cannot tell anyone that ooh okay okay some surprises coming up. Yeah, all right. um well as soon as I get confirmation that we're going to go to commercial we're going to go to Commercial and I'm going to get all water. um but it is so great to be here and and talking about cybertruck and everything Tesla yeah and you can see I'm wearing boots today.

It's first time I've gotten my cowboy boots on fancy fancy I Figured this was the if there was ever going to be a time for a Yankee to wear cowboy boots. Today was the day I didn't want to do any cultural appropriation so I went with a more Yankee boot. Uh but I did go for the cowboy hat. why not cowboy hat and while we were picking this out Jesse found this hat for me.

It says Beast Mode on it. say Beast Mode on it. How about that? I Don't know if you've heard this but uh, cyber truck is supposed to have a Beast Mode I've heard that Yes, what does that mean though? Uh Elon said what? 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds under for a pickup truck For a pickup truckan you're used to the Rivan now right? Yes I mean we can go 0 to 60 and 3.2 I believe it is. we have the at the moment we have the fastest production pickup trucks right? Oh I mean I want to say I could do 3 seconds cuz I have the do you guys have the street tires or you have the we got so you can do 3 seconds? Yeah so that that does make a difference because yeah yeah yeah cuz we have both now in in in the bigger tires smaller Wheels That's going to be one of the first things we need to do right is is pit a cyber truck against the Rivan to see which is the fastest production pickup truck.

but the Beast Motors should be the one that has three motors. No. Tri Motor Uh well. Tri Motor Yeah! So I mean track mode.

track mode is only for plaid, right? Yeah. so are we going? And for Model 3? Performance You can't do it with the dual motor. Uh, model 3 or or Y you can only do you can only get track mode for special cars. So will beast mode be similar? I Don't know.

Maybe only on the tri motor. Although I want to say that if it's a tri motor? Well, but it's a bigger chassis so that's why. So you were talking about, uh, the same thing that's on a what's topof thee Line model S Uh, Plaid, right? but bigger battery. So that means it can push more power cuz I Think the limiting factor there is the battery MH because you know you're talking about thousands of.

That's interesting. Okay, I mean I think so, right? I I'm not an expert in the plats, but um, you are an expert at batteries my friends. Well, I do know quite a bit about batteries. Um, but that means that they probably could squeeze more than 1,000 horsepower off of a tri motor.

And so that would mean. But of course, the bigger chassis. So maybe that's why we're getting seconds instead of right. It might be heavier, right? 2.9 or what is the whatever the the plat is? Yeah, he just said sub three.

So I don't know. Sub three. Sub three is good. Sub three is good.

Sub is good for a truck for a pickup truck. Yes. So make sure you tie down everything in the back really well before you launch you. close the Vault close the Vault Yes.

Oh yeah. Speaking of which, did your Rivan tunel cover break? not yet? Uh uh. do you use it a lot I don't use it a lot. Uh, it has it does tends to get a little bit stuck.

Um yeah yeah. so it hasn't broken yet. That means I guess I don't use it enough. Uh, this your the George Bre.

We've been very lightly using it cuz I'm afraid it'll break, but that's what I'm excited about with the Vault on the Cyber Tru Right is how smooth that thing works. cuz on the rivan, it's these big aluminum panels, right? It's like it's like a Pez dispenser. It sounds like there's something wrong happening there. like the sounds like the gears are first day.

It sounded pretty good, but since we've gotten leaves and pine needles and who knows what else stuck in it, I'm sure it's slowly building up stuff that's slowly turning into dirt. What do you have in Southern California that gets into? Is it just dust or like what? Uh, dust and leaves right? like uh I Know that like in our cars like if we live at Park Outside and my office. for example, there's trees outside and you get get them in there so you get to see them in the seals of your doors and your hood and on the trunk and I had to pull some off of that before like oh don't let that go in there because it's going to mess it up right? because it it takes very little to mess the the thing up right? So I think here's a an opportunity for Tesla to really show us how a tunnel is made because that that one from Rivan is a total disaster. The other thing is the side bed rails on the rivian are so low I think it's like 18 in or something 16 in so when you put stuff in there it's got to be very small or else you can't close the Tona cover with the with the Cyber truck having this kind of triangular bed.

I Wonder if you'll be able to fit cooler stuff in the back? Like more stuff, more stuff, more stuff. The only thing is it's in an angle though, so it's like you can fit stuff on the very end but maybe not at the back end right? cuz the tunnel is the tunnel an angle. yeah an angle I can't I Can't believe nobody jumped on top of that thing it was here for if he had been here an extra minute I think people would have yes um it was good it was here. See uh the prime minister of Thailand hop up on there.

that's right he he's a Chien he just jumped right up on top of the on top of the tuno cover along with Lars um from the Tesla team? Yes. I mean two grown men on the back of the truck? That's serious I wonder I mean we haven't really even talked about this storing stuff on top of the Vault right? Cuz you have this truck and what is it? what is it going to look like if you not only have stuff in the bed but then you start strapping stuff to the top of the Vault you need somewhere to tie it down which I agree, we don't have but little welding, little welding and you have something to tie it down with? yeah, are do are we going to have like in the Rivian have a way to put uh bars across? Is this going to be the the new version of uh of a dude you you know driving down the road with the one 2x4 in the back of the pickup truck just rattling around? Yeah. Mhm Yeah. What about third party stuff for the bed? Well so I want to talk about maybe just third party stuff in general.

Most trucks that you buy come with several layers of paint on them and it is highly encouraged that you do not remove the paint. It's not encouraged, it's just your truck suddenly doesn't look like blue or green. Um, the Cyber truck is going to be stainless steel which means you can weld directly to it, which kind of opens the door for a lot of stuff. But it's not typical stainless steel.

so it's not typical stainless steel. it's it's 3 mm thick hardened stainless steel, bulletproof stainless steel. so there's two. There's another thing that you can do, which is you could drill a hole through it.

No, and you could Mount stuff to it because on a normal truck, the only stuff that you could mount to the actual skin of the truck. it's just. you know little stuff and normally it's just stuff that You' glue on on the Cyber Tru you put a couple of holes. you can mount a plate to it with bolts now.

I don't know what's behind the skin? Well, you can do rivet nuts. You can do rivet. that's true. and then yeah.

so you could actually rivet stuff to the TRU because the skin is now strong enough to where it's not going to bend. or Buckle or punch out. you're going to be able to I think be able to cust your truck in that way where it's going to have that strength. So not only could you weld it, but you could also rivet to it.

I'm not going to name names, but there was someone in the crowd who tried to bend the metal on the Cyber truck and it would not. Bend Yes this. I heard that conversation I was like you try to bend it I'm my head. Come on.

This is a very serious thing. And and no trucks have been built like this I think ever. Um, but kind of back in the day right? If you think about the old like I'm thinking of like The Waltons has anyone seen the Walton before? Walton Yeah I'm going to get copyright strike. Um, you'd have this truck with this big wooden thing on the back right because you could customize trucks to make them however you wanted them.

Unlike today where you go to the dealership and you say like I want the blue one right? you could just make something and put it on the back. The I think the Cyber truck is going to open the door to people welding and riveting stuff onto their trucks. Whereas normally you'd have to have steel bar that's attached somewhere else to the truck, it's attached rigidly somewhere. So I think it's really exciting that we're going to have this opportunity and a lot of people are worried like oh, all these cyber trucks are going to be the same color.

They're all going to look the same. Um, little bit of TIG welding and it's going to look completely different TIG welding I Think a lot of people are going to want to learn how to TIG weld so they can do that? Yeah, yes and I think you should. You guys took some classes welding right? but it was. It wasn't TIG welding we learned from YouTube Yeah no no, didn't Mr G teach you Mr G did teach us.

He helped us out. uh I would say get learn, shout out to Mr G yeah, shout out to Mr G uh if you want to learn how to convert a car to Electric Mr G is the guy to go to also check out J because your channel walks through a lot of conversions. Mostly better. Oh yeah, yeah, some conversions in there.

Yeah uh. but Mr G is the the teacher? Come on, we've done one and we're proud. Okay, yes, well, several right you guys did. Also the smaller one.

the the uh ride on lawn mower. the lawn mower. Yeah, we've done the lawn mower. Yes, okay hey.

I haven't done lawnmower. You guys got that on me. But you're right. I think there is going to be a whole Market where you might just drill a few holes, put some rivet nuts, and now you have a mount to put racks.

Yeah to put a camera. So you can do like because I mean right now with a pickup truck, there's lots of racks and stuff that you can get and usually your t cing something to the bed of the truck. There's spots to do it and that's great. Well, and don't forget rust.

When you do drill through the paint, you're always worried that now you're going to that's going to rust in a few years. Yes, and now that's not going to happen. And hopefully many of these products are going to be stainless steel as well, so you're not going to have to worry about that. And so the the original exoskeleton thing is not happening right? Cuz we now we've seen that it does have a sub I Think that structure must have been that at Tesla at the time of the unveiling, they weren't sure whether they were going to go exoskeleton or whether they were going to go Giga casting.

That was right at the time when we I don't think Giga casting was in the Ze guys. it wasn't really even in the Ze guys. So I think that Elon and and everyone at Tesla was evaluating how are we going to build a car. We we shouldn't be building a car the same way that we build a car.

we're never going to make affordable EVS quickly enough for that to happen, we're going to have to wait for Batteries to come way way down in price. We need to make a cheaper car and so that I think that that's why they went Giga casting as opposed to exoskeleton I Think that exoskeleton could have kind of achieved the similar thing, but it's got to be vastly harder, right? Cuz it's like it's a brand new way to build a vehicle, so that might be the one advantage that they have and that might be the reason why I'm wrong about the pricing, right? So maybe they don't have to be similar to Rivan because, well, they have a different manufacturing process and so obviously they're able to lower the prices on the rest of their line so much that a lot of people are hating on Tesla right now. I Mean that's a really good question because right now Tesla is profitable on all their models, right? Rivan? As we're talking about, they're actually losing What is it? $30,500 at least last quarter for every Rivan they sell. Um, and so that's a lot of negative profit loss that you're having.

Uh, The the big question is, yeah. Is Tesla going to take advantage of the fact that there's so much pent up demand for this that they can pretty much charge whatever they want? Uh, in the beginning, you know, $100,000 Let's say to get some profit going or have they already figured out how to be profitable? Um, and so because they're vertically integrated, they're going to be able to come out with this with kind of a built-in profit margin. I I think so. I I Don't think he's going to charge a lot because that doesn't seem to be his motivation, right? Because he could be charging more for Teslas and selling a little bit more I mean less numbers wise, but he's not going for that.

Okay, but hear me out on this. Theory It's a strange Theory I have in the beginning Teslas were just a luxury item right back in the Roadster days everyone thought that's all they were and even today if you talk to someone and you say hey, I drive a Tesla Many people think oh that model 3 must cost $100,000 because they just heard Tesla luxury What if Elon's going to keep the price High to start for the Cyber truck so that everyone thinks of it as a luxury truck and then as he releases the the lowest version, you know the rear wheeel drive version. It shocks everyone how cheap it is. so they think they're getting more.

They think they're getting this luxury for less I'm going to push back I'm going to say that for this event today, it's getting all the attention. So this is the one time that Tesla has to set the expectation for what their brand is and up until now I Totally agree. Everyone thinks it's a luxury vehicle I Drive down the street in my $45,000 model 3 and they're like oh that's an $80,000 car and it's like that feels very nice but at the same time for me someone who is wants everyone to have an electric car I don't want them to think that it's an $80,000 car that they can't afford and they want to ridicule I want them to think that that's something that they could actually achieve someday. Um, and so I think that it would behoove Tesla to uh to lower the expectations in terms of pricing today.

This is hopefully the the one of the biggest Outreach days that they're going to have and we are going to cut to commercial pretty soon. All right? Um, yeah. I Just think they would break the internet if they came out today. To your point and said the lowest version is I Don't know 45,000 Like I Think people go nuts because we've seen that from other manufacturers and they fall fat on their faces like they now.

They can't deliver those drugs right? The 45,000 True. Absolutely. Ford is one right? The F-150 was supposed to be a lot less than it actually is now. and so yeah, maybe that's what the what Elon is has up a sleeve to today.

Yeah, there's just so much we need to know today and we're going to find out within what an hour I know I'm so excited! Um, we're going to have a quick commercial break and uh, we will be right back. So thank you so much for joining us and uh, everyone here at the party can still enjoy the party. Woohoo! and the sun came out!

He he So Yeah! I think we'll keep it to all right. We are back from our commercial break and uh, we're here with Ryan from Lex. Art. Um I want to talk? thank you for sponsoring today by the way we could done So if you're like wow, this is like a really nice looking live stream.

uh you can thank Lex Art for helping to sponsor this. uh it's uh, such a great event we have here. It was raining earlier. we have a tent uh none of that is free.

So I want to give a big hand to Ryan from Lex. Art for getting this uh this whole thing. you know going it's it's really nice. So Ryan could you tell us a bit about Lex.

Art? because I've been learning about it from you and it sounds really cool but you're probably the best person to explain it to us. Yeah first. I Just want to say this is awesome guys! I've been a part of the Tesla Community since 2013. Happy to support this, Happy to be here, happy to be with the cybertruck and all of you guys! so hope you guys Enjoy! So this is uh, this is the first time that anyone is seeing anything with Lex.

Art. So it's www.lex Doart. Um, but basically we are changing the Art Market and what we're doing is taking the art and doing. instead of an indirect investment in the artist, we're doing a direct investment into the artist.

So everyone here knows Tesla stock right. We get in early and we have an actual investment into Tesla and everything they do right in the Art Market. Right now, you buy, buy one piece of art and you hope to God that that's the right piece to go up. What we're changing is an actual investment into the artist.

We're bringing capitalism into the Art Market because you guys have all heard of Starving Artists. There's plenty of artists out there who deserve to be a part of the capital markets. They deserve to get investment and to really break through. And so, we've created this financial system and you can learn more again on the website and you can sign up.

but we are trying to revolutionize the Art Market to something you more similarly know. So you're buying art, but you're also getting stock in that artist that pays dividends, right? So if you had Banky early on, you invest in Banksy and you get one of his paintings very early on and now he's selling for tens of millions of dollars. If you just have that one piece of painting that's not necessarily meaning that you're going to get the economic benefit and then you'd have to sell your piece of art. But under our system, you're actually would be investing in Banksy similar to any other company.

Right in the early stages, you would get stock in Banksy that's paying you dividends throughout the entirety of the rise. So can I translate this to like As an investor, it's like if I got to invest in Elon Musk in the early days and then I got a share of each of the companies that he made later in life. That's perfect. Exactly that.

So right with everything you do, you're getting in early, you're supporting the founder, supporting the entrepreneur, and you're going to reap the benefit going forward. and you got to be a part of it. You got to develop a relationship with that person. So if you were the first some of the first people to invest in Elon and you got to actually invest in Elon then you would have a share of all of the companies that he's produced.

Now, just swap that for an artist and we're talking about artists here. and so you know you. I Think that we all tend to think that artists are all like long dead. You know, like oh yes, the artist that you see in museum.

Yeah, Oh, Picasso he's dead, right? Um, but of course there's new artists coming up and and stuff like that and it's it's not easy to be an artist. I Think that in, uh, your guidance counselor at school probably dissuaded you from getting into art and probably more into accounting or something like that. And one of the big reasons for that is it's it's hard to kind of make it as an artist. and it's also kind of hard to make money as an artist because uh, you know there are paintings that are worth millions and millions and millions of dollars.

Um, but it's only for the the top 1% of artists. There isn't necessarily kind of a a middle ground or a a middle class artist. Yeah, exactly. It's definitely hard being an artist.

We like to think that okay, you can just make it in a studio alone. but like with anything every company it requires Capital it requires resources to really Elevate So our mission at Lex. is to elevate these living artists and get them the funding that they need and the support that they need to really break through. Now we saw Sandy pull up in the Cybertruck earlier I Feel like that is a piece of art? Uh, I Feel, Feel like it? It's something that's making this profound impact on all of us in terms of design right now.

and I Feel like it's actually going to change the way we think? How do you feel about that? Like do you think we're going to actually start to accept that? Or is this just an anomaly and we're just going to go back to the way you know trucks have looked in the past. Yeah, 100% I Think the cybertruck is a work of art. I Think what France has done and what the team has done. Absolutely amazing.

Everything that Tesla's put out are just works of art. and yeah, I mean when you see the model S and you realize it's been around since 2012 and yet it's such it still looks beautiful today. It's just a classic design and I feel like it's hard to picture this with the cybertruck. but I feel like that's we're going to still feel the same way about it in 10 years.

Yeah, I mean and that's why our mission is to elevate artists, right? We need to elevate art. We all want art, more art, proliferate the artists, and a lot of cool things are going to come from that. I mean we definitely don't want to go the opposite direction. So if we want more art in the world, we have to support it.

And that's what our mission is to elevate these artists. So if people want more information, um I Guess you haven't brand launched yet, but so should people? go to your website and sign up? Yeah, so right now the landing page is live. You can go sign up if you want to chat more. There's some complexities that we'd love to talk you through and really just show you what we're building.

We'll probably launch in the next, uh, 3 to four months. So this is, uh, just our first. Uh, you guys are hearing about it first here, part of the Tesa community and happy to be telling you about it. Ryan Thank you so much for you and your company supporting us today.

Being part of this today is so great! everyone! go check out Lex. Art! I'm really excited to be working with you in the future because I am a big fan of Art and yet I've never felt that I could actually be a part of this world and I feel like this is my chance to actually become a part of this. So happy! Thank you all Thanks man! put the microphone back right there Thank you Ryan All right. Wow.

All right. So we're just minutes away from hopefully learning what's going to happen at the S the Tesla cyber event today? um again. I Feel like it could go a bunch of different ways. It could be kind of a let down for us Tesla folks who are expecting like tons of data and information and maybe he's just designing it for the rest of the world and keeping it simple or it could be exactly what we want.

Today we could hear about ranges we could hear about, prices. We could hear about everything. What do you think is going to happen? Oh I Think it's going to be a boat I Did you say it's going to be a boat? Think I Think look, why do you have a stainless steel truck? It's to avoid rust. Okay, what what? What causes rust? water? Yeah.

I'm just trying to piece this together here. When we were at the unveiling back in 2019, they had um, they had El Lotus Lotus is spree from James Bond where he drives it off a cliff or whatever and then Dives under the water and it turns into a submarine and I think let's see. So wait you think he told France during the design meetings. Oh and one more thing.

France I'd like it to be a boat I Don't know. Maybe that was the the idea from from the beginning. All right, let's see a show a hands here. Um, who agrees with Jesse that the cybertruck is going to be a boat And by boat? Let's get our definitions right here, folks.

Okay, I don't mean that it can drive through a puddle I mean that it can drive into a lake, do a few, you know, five minutes in the lake and come back on Shore and not be damaged. Okay, so how many people think that's going to happen? Okay, okay, we're getting some five minutes people. Okay, okay, all right and who thinks that Jesse has just had sunstroke? Come on you can. You won't offend them.

It's okay, it's fine. I'm seeing double hands here. They're they're thinking it's both I Actually think for those of you watching at home, I think that the the crowd agrees with you Jesse they think it's going to be a boat. Yeah, wishful thinking.

Now what if it's a boat? I mean that's going to change everything, isn't it? Yeah, cuz we did see the one down in. um Texas drove out into the into the ocean a little bit I don't think it really got up past the wheels.
