I have an invention, it is called an audio equalizer. It lets you put three Dragon's Den clips together without the volume changes blowing people's eardrums out.
Peter Jones here - could you throw your other business into the mix? Because quite frankly, that one seems much more appealing...have you heard of reggae reggae sauce? You’ve must’ve seen what I’ve done with that.
The guy who had the car app that can control everything was ahead of his times. To be honest, all the range rovers in London, getting nicked and something like this would fix it, I know ghost is good, but I kind of like this better.
Bloody face Jones pulls at 1:17 right after the guy obvious had a strong problem with nerves for a tiny space of time and so regained his composure. What a prat Peter is at times. It was obvious and it is also very common to continue using the last few words of a sentence prior to that happening.
Yes, agree with you and the guy is asking for 2.5 million pounds. Peter's arrogance is part of his success in business, certainly Protective and an automatic way Peter's Personality expresses itself. So prat yes ok, agree and business acumen, cynical and arrogant works for Peter in business
he has to consider that this person asking for 2.5 million is going to be the face of the company. there's nothing against people who are bad at speaking, but the CEO has to be or how will they secure deals, funding etc.
7:26 - This was filmed between 2008 and 2011 and clearly these are not 'gizmos'. THEY DIDNT EXIST AT THE TIME! Steven's pitch was good and his car was CLEARLY ahead of the times and would have had MANY MORE features added by the time the final product entered the market. I dont understand why the Dragons were so harsh when this man was smart and it's an invention. They were looking for a fight.
Exactly! I still don't think he would've made it - it's just so much more capital intentive. However some of the ideas would be great even today. Exchangable battery packs for example.
Because it’s a bloke trying to take a car to market for 10m quid, and all he’s got is the power source. Everything he listed is already in existing cars at the time of the pitch. There is nothing unique about what he’s got. He hasn’t even invented anything, the power source is already in cars that are being sold in 2006/07 when this aired. If his idea was really that good then some of his “expert team from McLaren, BMW & Lamborghini”, would have taken him in front of one of their ceos & pitched to them directly and sold the idea to one of those car companies. Don’t you think the likes of BMW or McLaren would have bought his concept from him had it been good enough? The only thing he got right was the market. He knew that there was huge market potential for a good electric car; basically had the foresight like Elon Musk did with Tesla; the difference being that Tesla cost 7.5m in funding to launch and over 100m personal investment from Elon’s sales of PayPal stock. His idea isn’t bad. But his rounds of funding are wayyyyyy off the mark. If they invested 2.5m that day for 30% that’d mean that he expects to take it to market for about 8.3m, Theo nailed it when he said that car companies probably spend more than that per month on innovation.
First guy is all over the place, talking about SEVERAL multi million, and multi-billion industries, but he's going to do them all at the same time? Whaa? I'm sure Vauxhall or Ford don't MAKE batteries, they just buy 'em, like a million batteries at a time.
Yea, you're correct. All car batteries are made up of hundreds of small "batteries" cells (think like an AA battery), and the car companies buy those and connect them together then put them in a housing. No car manufacturer CREATES the actual cells. To harvest lithium and make batteries is an insane feat that would bankrupt any car company. There are only a few people that ACTUALLY make batteries, and it will always be like that. They have put their leashes on all lithium mines.
How was a great pitch? He literally stopped in the middle of it with an awkward silence. Do you know what a great pitch actually is? How is that a great idea? He literally thought he could have a piece of market share of EV with the sole total investment of 10,5mil pounds. That is not a great idea, it's a speedrun to lose money. How were his good responses? When Theo asked for USP he couldn't say any. Literally all of the things he said he would use a differentiators were already out there while they were speaking, imagine how common those would be in another 2 years time when his car would actually be able to go on market. That was a trash pitch, with a trash idea and trash responses. Nobody was out simply cause the money asked were too much, in fact they said it's quite the opposite, it's literally not enough money. Nobody was out cause of the bad valuation of the business, nobody complained or even mentioned that. They were out cause it's clearly not a business proposition. That guy lost his half mil pounds and will never see it back.
All they do on Dragons Den is berate the entrepreneurs, on Shark Tank they speak to them like equals.. Also 2.5m is to big money fir these guys thats why they treated him shi.. clowns of people.
Absolute madness from the dragon's , who know nothing about cars , you should all be ashamed, you built business, you would have been upset, someone with no experience telling you what to do
They're right though, there's no way these people can compete with the big car manufacturers, especially not for less than several hundred million dollaroos.
Literally none of these where worthwhile investments. 10 million for that Bee car? Do you know what it costs to get a car crash tested and certified? The Peel P50 was niche at best. The app thing, 100% wouldn't stop a car theft. If they really want your car, they'd simply rip out the device and have the car stolen still.
Could have been the first Tesla they must be kicking themselves😅 That's a bit unfair all cars that come out on the market out of date just the nature of the beast
Well they're not wrong that it costs a lot of money to develop a car. Considering how much money Elon Musk had to raise for and put into Tesla that was on the brink of bankruptcy. If it was Elon Musk pitching Tesla on Dragons Den yeah theyd be kicking themselves but Bee Automotive has been dissolved since 2011.
In 2009 (when this was aired)Tesla introduced the Model-S, but before that they had gained a lot of expertience and R'n'D with the Roadster. I REALLY don't think he was CLOSE to have the resources needed to pull this off.
I have an invention, it is called an audio equalizer. It lets you put three Dragon's Den clips together without the volume changes blowing people's eardrums out.
How much percent are you offering 😂
😂😂😂
shut up and take my money!
I’ll offer you all of the money for 10%!

Waay ahead of his time, Peter was wrong with his criticism
1.20 killed me 😂😂😂😂 peters comedic timing is perfect 😂
I was laughing so much at this part 😅😂😂😂
They did injustice to last guy
Imagine if you had bought shares in Tesla when first pitch was happening quids in 😂😂
But he used his own money from the start, so the analogy doesn't work. It was only later that he went to the market.
The car app is interesting. Now they have auto starts from an app. I would love the horn feature from my house! Just to freak people out walking by!!
a matrix agent possessed the presenter at 01:18 and Peter felt the glitch
lol my thought process exactly
I wonder hows the smart remote last pitch is up to? I loved his pitch!
Elon Musk pitching Tesla cars would have been laughed out of the den back then 😂

Fair enough. But it also could have just been editing.
back to the superb audio mixing
Proof the dragons get things wrong 😂
Loved seeing Duncan in hysterics.😊
Theo made a fool of himself in the first pitch, no car companies have swappable electrical batteries, that I know of? Could have been a winner
NEO does
No, what he's saying was absolutely correct; just about every car has talked about swappable battery packs.
The man listed five things the car had that NO CARS had between 2008 and 2011 when the episode aired.
James got a great risk free investment in the 2nd pitch
7:26 - This was filmed between 2008 and 2011 and clearly these are not 'gizmos'. THEY DIDNT EXIST AT THE TIME!

100% Agree
Peter Jones at 18:41 portrays the perfect pitch! This is what the Dragons Den is looking for!!!😅😅😅😅
Last gadget app should have the option of activating a syringe coming out of the drivers seat ..
Ejector seat
I’d like to know why Jeremy Clarkson’s P45 pitch wasn’t in this video
The last pitch was cool. He should of included an option to cut power to the car if theives had got it.
I think OnStar can do that.
Nobody mentioned the electrical charger and the infostructre that would be needed to put in place
An appealing family car 🤣🤣🤣
The man with the car. The Dragons are so nasty. But what do they know?.
Electric car dude was a bit early. No one now has exchangeable battery packs.
Basically they bottled the first investment due to amount
First guy must be in tears with all these Teslas on the road
He should have got the 2.5 mill, with backing they could have made it
Well the app to start my car or just the climate in cold winter or hot summer days it’s the best invention ever but what do i know,i’m not a dragon…
He sold the technology to tesla now he's a millionaire
First guy was ahead of his time
What about the dude with the wrong fuel prevention device
Where is car doctor
Car Doctor is in Volume 1
Gary's car👇
POW!🤜🚙
Always comical listening to peoples reactions 😂
The first pitch was when tsla was still a baby lol
First guy is all over the place, talking about SEVERAL multi million, and multi-billion industries, but he's going to do them all at the same time? Whaa?
I'm sure Vauxhall or Ford don't MAKE batteries, they just buy 'em, like a million batteries at a time.

This was aired TEN YEARS before these companies are doing what they did now.
Why isn't Jeremy Clarkson in this?
First guy had a great pitch ,idea, and response. The dragons clearly did not want to part with there cash. They sounded defeatist in there responses.
Had no chance
How was a great pitch? He literally stopped in the middle of it with an awkward silence. Do you know what a great pitch actually is?
How is that a great idea? He literally thought he could have a piece of market share of EV with the sole total investment of 10,5mil pounds. That is not a great idea, it's a speedrun to lose money.

That guy lost his half mil pounds and will never see it back.
Importing an 7k car from China with a complete new type of fuel sounds like a really bad idear. Remember the first price of Tesla?
@@webrevolution. calm down mate... literally
They sounded defeatist because you're not realistic, just like him.
Peter Jones 1:19 😅😅
I’m going to be Sarah’s husband one day! 😆
The first guy's idea got copied by a guy called Elon Musk.
This App is now what we all have Immobilisers turn off car horn lights lock unlock all thru app ?? Mercedes Me is one 👍🏾🚨✅
Like command start.on a key fob
Where are they now? Says it all...🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:09 Insert Trump joke here.
I bet there’s gonna be a comment saying “just in time for lunch/dinner”
Government fundings ???? Or TAX payers Money ! Really ????? Sorry I Am out mate .
Ah just in time for dinner
What?
All they do on Dragons Den is berate the entrepreneurs, on Shark Tank they speak to them like equals..
Also 2.5m is to big money fir these guys thats why they treated him shi.. clowns of people.
But on shark tank the people who pitch are like cheesy actors. 🤢
@@Neil2022 got nothing to do with my point like...
I disagree, on Shark Tank they sometimes make them say yes to a deal before hearing other offers. That doesn't happen on Dragons Den
@@highspec_tech90 which again is nothing to do with my point.
I rathrr buy monopoly then cars peel for reel. 50p win..
Last one was kinda of okey
Absolute madness from the dragon's , who know nothing about cars , you should all be ashamed, you built business, you would have been upset, someone with no experience telling you what to do

It’s not about the car. It’s about the business. It can’t survive.
There is plenty of room in the market for another car...even ten years later!
Literally none of these where worthwhile investments. 10 million for that Bee car? Do you know what it costs to get a car crash tested and certified?

Nope, it would have taken them billions to be the first Tesla.
A. tesla actually looks good. B. elon musk cashed out on paypal and invested 9 figures at least, not 2.5 million + a subsidy
In 2009 (when this was aired)Tesla introduced the Model-S, but before that they had gained a lot of expertience and R'n'D with the Roadster.
I REALLY don't think he was CLOSE to have the resources needed to pull this off.
Anyone buying an EV needs their head read.
Anyone offended by others buying an EV needs therapy.
