I gave away four electric school buses to public schools in South Carolina to prove that they will work (SEE if they will work?) and show we can reduce pollution (especially pollution dumped on our children!) moving forwards! It was fun to invest in ProTerra, tour the Thomas factory, and give away four buses to school districts that want them!

I invent something I check worldwide patent still zero result then I started drawing 3 blueprint, new factory, new software and new control, total 120 correct invented its more then cars parts, ps: I dont want be trolls, I want be real this
Xavion is love Xavion is life
I'm not a pilot, but I had to like and subscribe because this is so impressive
Austin, I read that Foreflight recently implemented the wake turbulence alert not unlike your xavion method from a few years ago. Did you work with them on the algorithm or did they do entirely on their own? I feel like they should give you credit at least!
Nah, they never talked to me. Garmin did the autoland after me, foreflight did the wake turb after me, microsoft did the seaplanes and helicopters after me... they do whatever i did, later, SOMETIMES blatantly copying me (microsoft BLATANTLY copies me with some stuff in their sim, see their flite model 'forces'). it's fine, i don't mind. I never patent anything and anyone else can make anything they like. bruce artiwck did flight simulators before me and foreflight did ipad apps to fly in real planes before me, so sometimes they do some stuff before me. so it's all good. only 1 rule i really care about: anybody can do anything they like.
@@austinmeyer thank you for your contributions to aviation and unorthodox ideas! some of these giant corps "innovate" by buying off companies with interesting patents and/or simply by copying "prior art" for free. they claim innovations as their own rather shamelessly. but we know who are our heroes :)
I went to Tesla’s website to lease a car. It showed me a monthly payment and a down payment value for it. It sounded reasonable to me. Then they asked me to pay a non-refundable $250. I trusted them, because they are not dealers! Then I wen’t to the app, to file the documents. The down payment became 2 times, and also the monthly payment somewhat more than the website as well. Now if I cancel it, I lose $250. If I accept it I pay $3000 more than the website for a lease, not to buy, which needs another big cut for a bigger thief called the government. The way I see it is that a bunch of old thief ganged together, to prevent a new thief to join without paying its dues. You may watch godfather movies before considering to get a new car!
The patent scam? The patent scam
Dealer Statute Law! Sounds a lot like a protection racket to me.
you should do vulkan/metal
Such an informative video! how can this even be possible, So to buy a tesla you need to buy it in another state and then register it in California ?
Yah you have to buy it in a different state and then register it in your state.
Great Documentary!
I remember when patent trolls were a big problem. But not these says. What happened? Are they no longer a problem, or did the stories just get pushed out of public attention by COVID, politics, Boeing, et al?
It still happens. Right at this moment the trolls are trying to make IPR (interpartes review) illegal: So once a patent is granted, it can't be overturned. They're calling it the RPEVAIL act. They want the patent holders to prevail. Not kidding. Sen Coons, in particular, is driving this.
Imagine if Austin would make a video where he flies irl WHILE coding something for xplane😳🎸that would be sooo BADASS
I got my Model 3 Performance online without speaking to a dealer. Best car buying experience ever. Even when I went to pick it up it was easier and far faster than any dealer! I would be perfectly happy never talking to a dealer again.
Absolute legend 🫡
i love xplane
Isn't that just Garmin Smartglide?
Kinda. But Garmin Smartglide wasn't out yet when this video was made.
Can you let go of the controls and does it still keep spinning forever? In Msfs when you let go it just stops spinning.. Which is really annoying
Loved your blog write up on the pt6
Tesla is simply just a dream come true!...
For the life of me, I couldn’t find how XAvion records a track for later replay in XPlane. Where is the “record” button. It says “I record every takeoff”, I tried it and it didn’t work
Hm yah maybe it is sort of hard to find.. sorry about that... the recriding is automatic.. you take no action. The real question is how do you REPLAY? The right-most menu, LOG, has all your flights... labelled by date and airport ids.. just touch one to replay it right there in the app! <IF> x-plane is running and connected to xavion in the intenet setup in x-plane, then x-plane will be driven as well, and sure enough you will see and remember every bit of your flight!
Hi @@austinmeyer Thanks for a quick reply. In my case the problem is that the "log" tab stayed empty after the flight. Which criteria does it use to start the recording? Perhaps they were not met because I was flying a helicopter, and not a fixed wing? I would really like to have a button "start/stop recording" just to be sure. Like in FF there is a setting to record flights automatically, but you can also do it manually if you wish. btw. I was able to bring a recording from FF, convert it to FDR and replay it in XP, but that is a bit more work than I would like to do after every flight. Having it work in XA would be so much better.
oooohhhhh..... no, a helicopter... maybe not enough speed to register. argh. ok i have to give that some thought. @@AlexeiMasterov
Thank you! @@austinmeyer Always happy to test the new versions :)
@@AlexeiMasterovok i checked the code: criteria is more than70% of your STALL SPEED or more than 50 ft above the GROUND... be sure you enter a low stall speed (auto-rotate speed maybe?) for tall speed so you are moving above it....
Dear @Austinmeyer, on your website the incredibly amazing videos Airfoil Maker Tutorials and Plane Maker Tutorials are no longer listed on the youtubes! I really need to watch these- again! Please help :)
lol They don't wanna get the Clarkson treatment maybe. But fuck the government.
no, it need sot be in the foreground to do all its stuff
Does Xavion co-exist/run in background with other EFBs? I use Garmin Pilot on both iPad for cockpit and Android for planning/backup usage. Will Xavion run along side GP in the iPad. Paul.
absolutelt Austin, I love my Model X and never looking back!
I used Turo to rent one for a week before I got my Model S.
@austinmeyer Ref 30:38 ❤ Austin: This Xavion style optimum gliding approach could make the whole airline industry greener and help reduce carbonoxide emissions drastically! Xavion should be made mandatory for any aircraft except gliders!❤
They messed up with the wrong guy, Great job exposing those frauds.
absolutely disgusting. This was 7 years ago. What was the result?
As new solar is installed on every roof, I can imagine there will be differences in health care costs and outcomes in the states with personal freedoms where EVs can take advantage of cheap charging.
@Austin Meyer, in reference to Texas: I checked with the local Tesla "Display Room" ; I found out that you are correct about direct sales in Texas. How it works is they talk to you about it, show you the model and discuss the options, financing, etc. Then you go to the website and order your vehicle. When it's ready you determine a time and a place to deliver it. From here it got a little confusing but I believe the transfer of ownership happens in one of the states where it is legal then you register it in Texas as an out of state title transfer. Now what wasn't clear by the end of my conversation is whether it requires a trip to the POS state. I didn't get that impression but I didn't nail it down either. Now I'm not a huge fan of Teslas for a number of reasons (they do have that "Oooo shiny" factor though with all of their features and technology)but I am a huge fan of liberty and free enterprise. This is one of many areas that need to be corrected. It's a viable, legal and safe product, the state shouldn't be able to tell a company that they can't market to protect a favored system. Added in Edit: One can also arrange for a test drive except they call it a "product demonstration". I wonder if those semantics are related to the prohibition of sales direct to consumer.
Yep, there you have it. In SC, it's way worse.. they aren't allowed to show us a car.
I'm in Texas and have 2 Teslas. They mail you the needed paperwork, pre filled out for the title transfer. You have to go the the DMV/Tax Collector yourself and pay the fee and sales tax of 6.25% at that point. Tax can't be rolled into the loan like with dealerships. Hope that helped.
EV cars? Where the power comes from? The batteries they use? When they use cero point reactors then we can talk about it. For now, no thank you. If you wonder, 20+ years in the car business.
For me, the power comes from the solar panels on my roof. SC is the most nuclear-powered state in the country, and i just moved to vermont, where we get our power from quebec hydro. So where do we get our power from? Atoms, sunbeams, and water falling down a hill. And this charges cars that are now beating bugattis in drag-races. ua-cam.com/video/EyDpQpcPpuc/v-deo.htmlsi=1lYABZd2RydK8d6o
That all or nothing mentality is helping no one. We are in a transition to sustainable power and away from fossil fuels. It will take time but we will get there faster than you would think.
@meyer OK, but you're ignoring the manufacturing inputs, both for Tesla and the solar panels. And what happens to the batteries at end-of-life?
Redwood recycling is a new company that is going to recycle them.. but even the first0gen batteries are still largely in use!.@@johnh9637
Tesla has 3 dealerships in Austin, Texas. I am taking delivery on a 2023 Model Y on the 30th, from that direct Tesla dealership, after test driving a Tesla Model 3, also from that direct Tesla dealership. I'm not sure what "Total Direct Sales Ban" you are referring to in Texas. I count roughly 20 similar dealerships in the state. And at each one you can show up, see Tesla vehicles, test drive , purchase them and take delivery there. And afterwards bring them by for service. If that's a statewide ban, what more could be gained from lifting it??? I can even purchase Tesla insurance in Texas and Texas is going to be the first state (I think) to allow some sort of Tesla renting thing.
But, But, But the net says this "As of 29 Aug 2023, Texans can't legally buy a Tesla in Texas due to franchised dealer laws, which require all buyers of new automobiles to purchase through a franchised dealer".. I am so confused... also texasview.org/why-you-cant-buy-a-tesla-in-texas/ Imma ask a cousin of mine that lives in TX....
OK I Just spoke to my cousin in TX... in the showroom, they can let you DRIVE a tesla, but they can not SELL you the tesla... you have to order it online! Tesla is not allowed to SELL you the car at the showroom! So I guess we are down to a technicality? You have to BUY it online. In SC, where I lived when I shot that interview sequence, Tesla can not show a car, test-drive it, sell it, maintain it, NOTHING. So TX is sort of closer now.. you can test-drive but hav to buy online I think.
@@austinmeyer Dunno. Maybe Tesla has figured out how to meet some definition of "franchised" dealer in Austin, Hoston, San Antonio, DFW, Lubbock, etc.?
@@austinmeyer Ahh yes. That's a good point. Interestingly though, you can buy it "online" while you are seated at a Tesla "dealership" speaking to and working with Tesla sales people. To-MAY-to, To-MAH-to. It is effectively a normal dealership.
@@Agg1E91 ah! Interesting!
The dealers bother me the least. They are in business to make money, and enrich their investors. Period. In a proper economy, they would compete in such a way that their customer service would be almost directly tied to their financial performance. Which brings me to the groups I do have issues with. Elected politicians *should* operate apart from whatever bennies the dealers dole out. But since they see political office as a lifelong multi-generational dynastic endeavor, like the dealers, they see themselves in office to make money to get power. And keep it forever. Business do lot like leaving money on the table. Politicians don't like leaving power and control on the table. Which brings us to the press. The one group who can least defend allowing the most money to have the loudest voice. Print and broadcast media are the worst because they will actively conspire *with* certain businesses to coordinate an attack against a *wayward* politician. Awful. Unfortunately there is little that can be done about the messed up media. But if SC (and other) voters don't act to change their politicians and actively support them if they are doing the people's will but facing headwinds from dealers and the press then nothing's going to change. And their inaction will communicate to all involved that the voters are ok with that.
Yep! Exactly. Soooooo.... my final sentences in the video: Get your car online, and never look back!
Austin is the best. Hands-down!
Well, most people don't realize how much energy it takes to build a Tesla, first of all because the government is pushing the public to buy that and actually forcing it's very expensive to build batteries and pollute even more than the oil does this world is upside down and most people don't realize where they are to get up in the morning to go to work and you come home and they don't know where they are and they don't know what's going on around them so they let him buy the Tesla and I'll find out
Wow, thanks for spreading this!
Not having researched the laws, you have to be wrong about Texas since there's a Tesla showroom not 15 minutes from my house.
Do the research. Tesla can NOT sell you a car in TX. TX might be one of those hybrid state where they can SHOW you a car, but not SELL you a car... walk into the showroom and find out. In SC they can not even SHOW you a car... but in some states they just aren't allowed to SELL you a car. So they can show it but not sell it. Then the car dealers send in secret shoppers to see if there are any sales going on, and if so they go complain to the lawmakers. So that's car dealers. Complaining. That someone has the nerve to sell a car.
@@austinmeyer Ah. Hadn't considered that angle. Now I'm curious about how they sell to Texas residents. Goodness knows there are plenty on the roads here. Thank you for the explanation.
@@KyleCowden Go check it out and report back here in the comment section with what you find! Ask them if they will sell you a car on the spot. I bet you they are not allowed to. Find out and reply below with what you found!
@@austinmeyer Will do. OT: I'm about to build a new system, can't wait to put XP12 on it.
I'm in Texas and have 2 Teslas. They mail you the needed paperwork, pre filled out for the title transfer. You have to go the the DMV/Tax Collector yourself and pay the fee and sales tax of 6.25% at that point. Tax can't be rolled into the loan like with dealerships. Hope that helped.
Love your spunk! Always a good reminder of this ridiculousness.
If we simply enforce the constitution, then dealerships will go out of business.
anther patent scam
good job
Nice...
Land of the free eh?
great job Austin. illuminating as usual
As I understand it service is Tesla's weak spot so having 2 or 3 service centers that also serve as dealerships might be a good thing. And Musk can own all the dealerships.
None of them know they are in the prescence of a flight sim god. 🫡
Also great video, well informing and great editing.
Good breakdown. I've heard only positive things about the online buying experience for electric vehicles. I have no idea why anyone would cherish the opportunity to hang out at a dealership for hours while paperwork is filled out and upselling is pushed on you. Also, the only sales people I want to deal with are the ones that leave you alone. The Dealership model seems like the salespeople are fighting for their life. As soon as you drive-in, they're ready to pounce. How comfortable of a living is that? Makes me think it's great to own a dealership but not be the guy selling at one. I set up a demo drive on a Model Y (1.5 hours away because I live in a no-go state). It was super casual and no-pressure. You could tell the employees were happy in their environment and not worried about making a sale, the cars were selling themselves. It's got to be frustrating for the wealthy car dealership owners knowing their kids wanna drive Teslas, Rivians, etc. Post more stuff Austin!
