I think it’s time to end the EV videos. You’ve proven your point. And at this point, you’re just repeating yourself in every video. Kinda getting old IMO and I think most people would agree.
Nope. Most people would say keep getting the message out there. 👍🏼 every one person I stop getting an EV is a win.
@@TheMacMaster (the old, "If you don't like it, don't watch it" - can help in these regards too) - EVangels aren't going to learn a whole heap here, they are infinitely better off in Quentin and Robert's echo chamber...
Intersperse with vids eating chips, from time to time and comment on the quality of the tartare sauce with some odd fish from elsewhere....
Most people would say this is a quick and easy video for you to put out a rinse and repeat having said nothing new a quick cash grab…say it as it is Lee not your crusade as man of the people 😂
What message, this is one of the most unbalanced and obviously biased you tube clips I have seen.
I have enough brain damage without getting a electric car to get me certified
I prefer the old Ford Capri it looks better, the new Ford Capri EV it looks ugly box shape. Absolutely agree with you MacMaster.
Must agree that Capri is absolute pants
Enjoy your vids…love a good rant BUT my grandchildren live in London, near a major road. Sometimes their local air quality is really bad and would be a lot better if more cars passing by were EV’s. For long journeys, an EV is inconvenient but city pollution would be much better if more were driven in the cities. Try shutting yourself in a closed garage with an ICE car running, see how you fare…with an EV no problem at all.
Just gone back to diesel after 19 months of electric. So happy to be back
Yeah bro , me too, back to normal life. Was a bad joke, yes was quick,
So did you manage to sell your EV okay, or did you lose lots of money on it ?
@@nomad5863 same here, loved the quick acceleration, however, not the constant worry about range and charging, especially in the winter
Congratulations Ford on releasing an electric Capri that is actually uglier than the Mach-E 😂
Hey Lee. Want to see America? How about going to one of the countless areas with good, friendly people. Why go to the slum holes of NY, Chicago and LA? We exist, and we’d love to have you visit. The people are better, the food is better, the culture is better.
“Get your kicks, on route 66” Nat King Cole.
BTW, if you do try to do a run on Route 66 (what's left of it), there is a Tesla charging station at the original 1930s- Art-Deco Conoco station (Tower Station/U-Drop Inn 66) on Route 66 in Shamrock, Texas, about 2 hours east of Amarillo.
And, no, I am NOT an EV owner, still rockin’ round the Lone Star State in my 2009 Wrangler and Bronco
i use to love that show minder ...Dennis waterman died last year from lung cancer
That's sad I used to drive a bronze Ford Granada automatic I was living the Sweeney Todd dream in those days
No ads for me! Premium all the way 😙
Hey the old ford Capri is a lovely car . its got heart and soul ❤xx
Hi Lee, long time subscriber here and always thought that I would never buy an electric car, however until I drove one I couldn't be sure. Well on a recent trip to Vegas from UK I was given an EV by the hire car company. I begged them for a gas vehicle but this would cost $40 per day extra! I ended up with a KIA Niro which was fine to drive but even in Vegas the charging infrastructure just isn't there. I had originally planned to drive to Death Valley but quickly realised that with the limited range I would have to charge up x2 times to get there so I couldn't go. As soon as I put AC on (48 degrees over there) the range dropped by about 80 miles lol. Went to a mall to charge, only 2 available and one did not work. After 2 hours of charging it only went up by 5% and est charge time to full stated 18 hours! Another major issue when renting an EV in the States is that the contactless payment does not accept UK credit cards. It says to download the app to pay to charge however the Play Store does not allow you to download the app being from the UK! I had to search around for Electrify America as they had chip & pin thankfully. But even there 2 out of the 5 were not working and I had to wait for over an hour for one to become available....this was at 05:00am too! Would I buy an EV after that experience?....NEVER
The original Capri is the best! The new car is NOT a Capri it is like all EVs a throw away AAA toy!
Nonsense - EVs will far outlast equivalent ICEs
MG have just announced they are extending their 8 yr battery/powertrain warranty to a lifetime warranty covering.
It will be interesting to see if any ICE makers follow suit.
Mossad bot.
My personal EV experience has been nothing but joy - then again my advantages are:
1. I Live in Australia where for the most part EV's like the climate
2. I have a detached home with a 3-phase charger
3. The overnight electricity rate is $0.08 / 4p per kwh
4. I have home solar
5. I drive a Tesla
6. Insurance in Australia is no more expensive than any other car
I average 5.7 miles per kwh lifetime and 6.7 miles per kwh in summer.
Superchargers are simply plug and play - never encountered a faulty one - never failed to instantly connect and charge. The most I have paid is $0.66 / 34p per kwh.
After 22k miles in 16 months I have spent $120 / 60 pounds on supercharging for a 1200 mile trip and $320 / 160 pounds for home charging - that's it - total. $0 on services, $0 tyres, $0 brakes and my battery has degraded 0.8% from where it was 12 months ago. The 1200 miles trip in the EV was not only cheaper but faster than my previous ICE car.
I have saved at least 50-60 trips to a petrol station, 7-8 hours of my life not filling my car and at least $5000 in petrol and receive $4000 in tax benefit every year v an ICE car from my government, what's not to love about EVs?
I m a star in New York, I m a star in LA, in my life theres no place for the man that i love, and i m livin my life just to sing and be free............
Patsy Gallant, lovely 😘.
Jag gillar verkligen det du gör!!!!!. Men jag håller på att lessna lite på detta. Jag provade elbil 2016. 9 månader senare gjorde jag mig av med den. Vilken befrielse. Nu kommer jag att göra allt precis tvärtom vad etablissemanget säger.
Sometimes when you charged your car with contactless it declines your card and that's another problem with electric cars as well
Look how grey it is since Labour go in 😂
I'm in a few Old Cars and Classic Transport groups on Facebook and since that awful looking Capri E, usually referred to as Crapi, was released postings of photos of the real Capri and even the Consul Classic Capri have trebled. When the Capri Mk1 was released I was working at AERE Harwell and the AERE Motor Club arranged for a local Ford dealership to bring a 1.3 and a 1.6 engine models to the Harwell site for club members to test drive.
After your last video about the magnetic fields I was going to suggest checking under a pylon.
Years ago there was reports of more cases of leukaemia where people who were living under power pylons .
Yes i remember that 😨
Magnetic radio fields for sure won't do you any good.
Was there that guy under a pylon with a floresent strip light ......lighting up? 😢
The Capri is a Capri .The new one is a suv and it looks nothing like a Capri .It's horrible 😢
I passed my Driving Test in my own Ford Capri 40 years ago, the new one should be a crime , WTH are Ford thinking, it’s hideous 🤢🤢🤢
In a nutshell.
the needs of the EV itself are more important than the use for which you require it.
My diesel Land Rover Defender sits out the front waiting for me and ready to go whenever I need it. Not a lot of thought at all. Just reliable, relatively cheap (except Road Tax - sorry just tax). No issiues and has been no trouble since 1997.
Quentin Wilson - take note! Also - stop attacking the Macmaster and Geoff Buys Cars.
Be great to have a balanced debate between to clickbaiters and a motor journalist.
As for EMR, do research on the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
Stay away from gamma rays! Thank Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson for naming them after they were discovered by Paul Villard.
If you really dislike them sell it and move on all you do is complain about them
@@chrisyoungs617 sell it to whom? No one wants an ev and anyone that does already has one that they're throwing money at.
The Capri of yore wasn't a great car. The new Capri doesn't look great. The Capri badge is reserved for cars like this. The legend lives on.
My dad had the capri a 3L john Player special was a shit off the shovel fond memories. He would be turning in his grave with the new one.
Bit a worry if the range is dropping off after only 3 years. Route 66 should be a good trip. Problem with the E Mustang and Capri is that they are SUVs with a bit of the former around the rear and front lights.
My dream is that we wake up tomorrow with a few coal mines, a few steelworks and a few car plants. A Mini for the Mrs, a Jag for the Dad and when your Son turns seventeen he can have a Ford Capri 2.0 Sport with a four speed gearbox! Eutopia....
Utopia actually
37:11. With the chargers being below the pylons you can’t measure them because the field from the pylons will mask over the top of anything they are emitting.
It Would be interesting to see the results around some chargers where there are not any pylons around to contaminate any readings.
Over the last 40 years I have installed over 300 x 11,000volt ground mounted substations and none of them register hardly anything on these meters.
These ground mounted substations contain metal clad switchgear so all of the wiring inside the switchgear is screened by the steel,
And the underground cables in the ground are screened by their earthing and armouring wires that wrap around the cable.
[The reason the pylons give off the electromagnetic fields is because the overhead line cables are exposed and open to the air.]
It would be interesting to measure the charging stations because I have no idea what screening their equipment has [if any].
Earlier this year I had a resident who had moved into a new housing estate [where I built all of the electric mains feeding into and around the new estate] come up to me when I opened up the substation that I had installed,
She wanted to know where all of the cables are that are in the ground, do they run past her house and what’s all that inside the substation.
[she had started up a local campaign group to demand knowledge over what damage these electromagnetic fields are doing to us without our knowledge]
Ever since she moved in 6 months ago she was getting all upset about not knowing where the cables are near her house and was extremely suspicious of the brick building that contains the electrical substation.
Outside the substation where she was standing there are 2 x 11,000volt cables and 6 x 440volt cables buried in the ground under the footpath beneath her feet, so she measured the floor and got nothing.
I invited her into the substation but she was too scared to come, in so held her meter against one of the 11,000 volt cables where it rose up exposed out of the ground and again got nothing. [it;s a small sub and she could see the results screen of the meter from the doorway]
I then held her meter within 6 inches of the main tank of the 11,000volt transformer and again got nothing.
She asked my opinion over ‘the emissions’ from these substations to which i said I wouldn’t have a problem with one of these being at the bottom of my garden but i would not want one the other side of the wall outside my bedroom.
No. Apple users are as pretentious as Tesla drivers...not Linux, they'd drive a Volvo...
There’s a song by Sade that contains the line “coast to coast LA to Chicago
You should do the American road trip in winter to show how much range you lose!
Passion pole - that got me!😂
At least you make me feel smug, I had to refule yesterday, I got out of my car , asked the attendant to fill the car (yes we still have service !) walked in and paid and less than five minutes with 580 miles in the tank! That's progress !
A MAJOR oversight in the list of EV problems. A car with a battery big enough to deliver a decent range has INCREASED life time carbon emissions. The emissions incurred in mining and refining the battery materials mean the vehicle comes off the production line with a huge carbon footprint that will not be recouped. BEV's ARE NOT GREEN!
@@richarddoherty5987 what about the emissions incurred in drilling for and refining the oil that is burnt in Petrol and Diesel cars?
Carbon footprint of an EV explained in 90 seconds see UA-cam: TEDx Talks 'The contradictions of Battery Operated Vehicles' @ 8:30 min -> 10:00.
EV = Environmental Vandalism
@@richarddoherty5987 nice video thanks for sharing. The problem with the calculations in the video is that they assume the two thirds of the electricity is generated from non renewable sources, with most of that being coal. That just isn't the case in the UK (using that as it's where Macmaster lives), where 47% of energy came from renewables in 2023 and the non-renewable energy came mostly from Nuclear and Gas which both have lower emissions than coal. In fact the last coal station in the UK is about to be shut down so it is virtually impossible that any electricity in the UK will come from coal now.
Additionally he didn't show the calculations around the CO2 emissions from the Petrol/Diesel car, so it's unclear if he took into account the energy needed to refine the fuel or whether he was just counting emissions from the exhaust.
As he says at the end, electric vehicles are better for the environment once the energy mix is cleaner. It just so happens that in the UK that happened far quicker than he was counting.
There are lies, damned lies and then statistics. Long story short PHEVs are the practical way forward. Most people most of the time would clock up electric miles for most journeys. BEV's are not the solution - certainly not for everyone.
@@richarddoherty5987 it was you that was making the point that "EV's are not green". It appears that the evidence you were using to back that doesn't really stand up in countries that have a decent amount of renewable power in their power grid and/or countries that have reduced power production from coal (the UK being a good example of that).
That is without getting into the local benefits if the vehicles are driven in urban areas where swapping Petrol/Diesel vehicles for electric helps improve the air quality.
When the world is electric the productivity will be horrendous 😅
Good Morning Lee. I do have the same problem with my Mobile Telephone. Like all Batteries, they suffer from the dreaded DEGRIDATION!!!!!!!, The amount of times you Charge your Battery, it loses the Ability to hold the charge in the Cells of the Battery. I am on 4G, sometimes my signal weakens or I lose the Network Connection. I am Afraid, that the Nation has been Brainwashed, into thinking, that getting an EV, was for Greater Good. It created this Cult of Passionate EV owners. I absolutely agree and Support your Message Lee, of Do Not get an EV. You must Keep your Petrol or Diesel vehicle for as long as You can my Friends. We should all stand together and Tell the Government, No we do Not want Your No fit for Purpose EV's. Thank you very much for Listening to my Words of Common Sense..
You know your charge time is always longer because you always charge to nearly 100% and you know it takes almost as long to charge from 80% to 100% as it does to charge from 20% - 80%. You also know that you wear out your battery much sooner by charging it to 100% every time. People who only charge to 80% will not lose battery performance as fast as the people that charge to 100% every time. Also, you didn't follow your own advice about charging. Always use the car's navigation system which not only conditions the battery for charging but also directs you to a less busy charger that is on the Porsche network.
As far as the cost of electricity, here in the states, with the implementation of alternative energy now powering the grid and the incentives from the government, our electricity costs have gone down not up.
As a reminder about the EMF meter. It's pure hogwash. If the radiation produced by those power lines was harmful, how is it that the trees, grass and plants thrive all throughout where those lines run? As I previously stated, an MRI is 75000 on that scale where your EMF meter showed what, 50 as it's peak? Pure nonsense.
Blatent misrepresentation again why does he not answer the constructive criticisems, instead of reading out comments from the brain dead trolls-----I wonder???.
“Why you should never buy one yourself”……. What happen to “choice” 🤔
Hi Lee. Thank you for your vlogs as I enjoyed them. 😘
The thing that would freak me out is having to go out of my way to find a charger each time. And then not knowing if one is available or even working. It's not just range anxiety it's all the shit that goes with charging. Then when you get a charger you stand around like a muppet for 40 minutes.
Here in Australia the insurance cost for a EV in our area which is considered safe is $3000 AUD per year but in the city areas of Melbourne or Sydney it costs $5000 AUD per year .
Then you also will need a home charger , the cheapest one I saw was $2500 AUD then there’s a permit required from the council to install one and the electricians cost for the installation .
Another factor that adds onto the cost is your house and contents insurance goes up as well because you have a EV in the driveway and some insurance companies won’t allow you to charge a EV indoors .
At an extra $7500 AUD the first year and a extra $3000 AUD for every year thereafter ( Which will inevitably go up ) I’ll stick with my petrol 6 cylinder Ford XR6 Ute , the extra costs not to mention aggravation of owning a EV doesn’t add up .
The problem with 5G is it's range is less but your download speed is up to 10Gbps where 4G has a lot better range but download is only up to 1Gbps so it's a trade off.
It's New York to LA (the song), and just press the recirculation button if a smokey car is in front of you.
I couldn't be bothered with this waiting to charge a car😢
You charge overnight. 95% of EV drivers never need to charge at a public charger. On long trips I had to stop for 8 minutes to charge for the rest of my journey, I needed to pee and the car was quicker.
If you plan a little it isn't actually all that bad. There are instances where it is inconvenient, but if you plan charging to happen at the same time as you do something else (shopping, eating, motorway stop etc) you generally don't notice it. But you do need to have either home or workplace charging for day to day use.
There is no waiting time this is pure CLICKBAIT
Had my head turned the other day to the fact the BYD Seal Excellence model does 0 to 62 miles in 3.85 seconds. Your advice was very timely, Lee!
You are so right Lee, i watch all your videos and am bombarded with adds for EV's and they have definitely convinced me, I DON'T WANT AN EV what a shame, all the millions of pounds in advertising and cost of changing from ICE to EV only to find customers don't want to waste their hard earned income on a milk float, dream on market forces dictate not goverments
You shouldn't say "You shouldn't buy an EV". It depends who You is. Some people should - others shouldn't.
Let’s view this from another angle. Yes, purchasing the wretched EV is a financial black hole. But your suffering has provided content for dozens of UA-cam videos which generously made up for your losses. I’m sure you are well into the green! The Unanswered Question is have you been compensated enough for your pain? Let’s Go and Let Us Know!
Come on Lee ,find some cash and buy a reasonably priced car ,and take yourself back to the real days ,compare that experience with the EV ,I think you might actually miss the EV as a modern day car ,hey just to show some balance .
Lee look at Car Expert channel from when he tried using a EV and the changing problems he found
This is why I will never buy an EV . Going to stick with Toyota Hybrid.
I cant knock that, they seem to last forever and don't cost an arm and a leg.
Diesel cars EVs are dangerousare even better. Modern diesels are cleaner than any othe form of propulsion. Think for your selves EVs are really dangerous for the planet. Even Volvo admit an EV has to cover at least 60,000 miles before it is as clean as a modern ICE cae. Until then the EV is dirtier
Regarding the designs of the new Capri, Mustang... If the modern version of vehicles retained the old-school generic halogen lamps up front, it would be much better. I can't stand the LED glow. Yes, you can see more, but that is for off-pavement driving. The modern lamps cast horrible shadows, and give you a false sense of security. They blind on-coming traffic, especially when lenses need to be replaced, or the lenses are dirty, or when the windscreen on the on-coming car is scratched from the wipers, is coated in rain or snow, or is pitted from freeway sand-blasting, or just dirty, visibility is compromised. The new headlamps cast too many lumens. The old-school generic halogens are glass, which are easily replaced. I got mine from the hardware store. We need to drive slower in conditions with low-visibility when you are not on the freeway. Respect the fact that some people see starbursts because of aged vision. I realize that halogens use more power, but, it is a better color, and better broacast of light. Perhaps LEDs make a good day time running-lamp, just not at night. The new vehicles always have a strange look in the front - 'angry eyes.' Don't get me started on the modern wheel designs; these are cars, must everything have a flashy-look, like we are only using cars to go to the nightclub?
A reason to buy an electric car. Sorry can't think of any!!!
Have you driven one?
Amazing Torque on the Taycan’s eh Macmaster?
I can't think of any reason to go back to ICE.
I'd rather have a 125cc scooter than an electric car.
I would rather have a skateboard. 😂
If you have electricity indoors. It’s all around you. Do a comparison indoors Lee.
Lee please do an accurate comparison using your EV charger indoors just to prove you are taking on the argument from both sides, ie at home 0.07p per KW against fast charger cost of 75p per KW which as we all know is exorbitante.
The new Capri, what an insult, watched Geoff buys cars on about it. Should have named it anything but Capri.
I grew up with Capri’s, be nice to see you test drive one Lee, would love to hear your comments, great channel 👍👍👍
Poor guy! I just filled my V8 mustang and it took 4 minutes 😂
have had 28 ice cars so far and now gone electric with skoda enyaq coupe vrs ,
and absolutely loving it . good buy at moment as never lease and always pay cash ,
bought enyaq 6 months old with 3k on clock , managers car at dealer 55k new ,
i paid 35k , its as new , retired , never go far from home so 99.9 percent of time charging
at home and only take battery 80 percent ..
got ohme charger and octopus so peanuts to charge , love it ...............
Mister Macmaster! Lee the waiting around for charging an ev is totally wasted time ! 🎉
so is sitting around watching YT video's of the same sh*t time and time again.. But we all do it.. Or maybe combine both and then it's not wasted time??.
I'd rather own an 80's car than any EV,... what a stupid idea they are.
31 15 Most UK homes have a single phase domestic supply at 230 to240 volt fused at 100 Amp on the incomer eg 24 KWH so theoretically if your charger was around 7 KWH then two cars would draw 14 KWH if you had two chargers, leaving around 10 KWH for the rest of the house, so if someone was using a 12 KW power shower then your mains fuse will heat up, not necessarily blow at 2 KW overload, but would be getting rather hot.
Ok a shower is a short duration but it still puts a strain on the incoming fuse.😎
Gaz Yorkshire.
@1:39 - If owning an electric car is like sleeping with Anne Hathaway ( however inanimate ) then where do I sign. :)
Lol. 😂
There are lots of cancer cases following power lines routes, how do they get out of that ?
All new cars are wider, nothing to do with being an EV, it is NCAP testing for side impact protection scores, which, as you know are aced by EVs because of their battery packs! I have personally saved over £13,500 not buying petrol driving EVs for over seven years. The secret? Charge at home and Don't buy a top of the range new Porche but a sensible USED EV, many people have reached the same conclusion and recent sales of used EVs have set records. If you had been following that smoky Land rover in a Tesla you could have switched on the Bio defence mode to cut out the fumes!
From the comments here he is being massivley called out
I have given up on 5G. I just set my phone to top out at 4G now, and its become far more reliable since.
@Nick_GTX ... Best thing you could've done, I did the same ages ago, 5g is far too sketchy at the moment and wastes power. It helps save your battery also.
Re the exhaust fumes from the Land Rover, why did you not select the recirc function to block the outside pollution? For GBP120,000 I would expect it in a car, EVen a milk float.
- or activate cabin filtration - thermonuclear bio-attack mode...
(Reactions is us..)
No no no YES ... there has been ads for electricity cars !
Ford Europe when they launched that Capri video on their UA-cam channel had loads of negative comments. A lot of them were from Ford fans and Capri owners. Its not even an actual Ford. It's a VW ID4 in Ford drag which if you think about it is relevant for this woke world we live in.
A friend of mine got a similar device to check the overhead power line running near his backyard and he found that this line is a backup line only not in use all the time, but what he detected too is that radiation levels in front of his electric stove top are really high while cooking food.
Re Anne Hathaway...I'd risk it!
We own a Dacia Duster diesel, not marvellous, got a loan car today, Renault Clio hybrid. Omwordy, its horrible!!! Quick on uptake, thats it. Can defo see your take on things!!!!
And the labour government (according to Geoff buys cars} has plans to make us all pay by the mile on the roads because they are not getting much revenue from EVs. It does not bother me as I do less than 300 miles a year. So, up yours Starmer.
Depends how they price bracket per per mile.
Labour said they will not be putting tax up.
BUT they never mentioned inventing new taxes, cheers to all that voted them in, your gonna regret it.
Ps I don't have a vehicle. So up yours too Starmer, chav and ceramic bob.😆
Wait until you get charged more for low mileage 😅
@@briboy2009 they tried to bring something like that years ago and it was laughed at. The idea of a "pay as you go" car tax was daft then and it's still daft now.
Thanks Lee, a interesting EV topic, do be careful not to get fried while charging.. Here in Australia i switched back to 4G, now i have better coverage all round 👍 Au
Ford Capri? Just a Skoda Eyaq in drag. Ford just using the V.A.G platform
Looks like a Polestar
The new Explorer is a ID5 with Ford bodywork stuck on it and if you want a new Ford Transit Connect or Custom they are VW Caddy and Transporter models. On the other side of things Ford provides VW with the VW Amrok as that is based on the Ford Ranger pick up truck.
My mechanic told me he can tell you what is wrong with your Tesla but can't fix it because Tesla won't supply him with the parts, but at least he can tell you what is wrong just in the unlikely event Tesla is not honest, i reapeat unlikley. he told me a customer once told him that their main dealer told them they needed a new electric window winder costing ££££££££s when all it was, was a fuse and my mechanic said no charge please come here in future, he got the business
Tesla drivers are sueing for neck injuries, looking to the side all of the time to read the speedometer.
Can't remember the manufacturer of the charger but yes you can have another that daisy chained BUT you do not then have 7kw fir each charger but shared
The EV fits part of the market but not all. If I need two cars or more in the family and can charge from home I would seriously consider a EV. Needing only one car I would go with a hybrid or straight ICE.
The song is New York to L.A. by Patsy Gallant
Hi Lee,interesting video I’ve shared it with my family.
Plus never saw an advert for a EV car during your video👍
There's a reason property close to electricty pylons are cheaper. It's not only asthetics. Goodluck owning an EV!!
It’s 14 degrees in Adelaide today and it’s our winter…😢
That's called summer in the UK...
We had a Tesla in last week for control arm replacement because no one else would touch it. 30mins job done 😊
This is not a joke you mentioned minder then an advert popped up showing the Capri right away it's comical
So you tell us not to buy EVs when there's exciting news from Ford? This just might change your mind. They are reviving an iconic brand name for their next EV. The Edsel-E!!!
No EV adverts No Capri adverts. Been on Premium for quite a while now. Worth every penny with no adverts.
The new Ford Capri. It's a product of VW Audi platform sharing deal with Ford. It's essentially the same as an Audi Q summat, VW ID number, Cupra Born and the Skoda Enyaq. Likely better built and cheaper than Ford. Utterly disgraceful, I like EVs but that's not a Capri. No way.
Your on the wrong channel
It's an insult to the legendary CAPRI, I call the ev version Crapi or Capricon.
Why didn't you use the chargers at Porsche Leeds? You drove past it?
I noticed that too
How dare you slag off Linux users! I switched to Linux after years of fannying around with Windows and MacOS, both of which I realised were crap and nearly gave up on laptops altogether! You bought the Taycan and you're a Mac fan, mmm...not the sharpest tool...
I'm intrigued by the reference at 24 mins in this video to the Skoda Ioniq. I hadn't realised there'd been a merger between Skoda and Hyundai. Or maybe Hyundai are helping bail out VAG and buying the Skoda brand from them? Presumably these cars will be fitted with "9v batteries" like your Taycan? :)
Oh, and the only car ad that I got while watching was for the Land Rover Discovery (apparently posh families can fit a lot in it when they visit the countryside).
diesel can freeze but at crazy cold temp something like Canada see at -40c but also heard that fuel changes slightly for winter, quick google search There are winter and summer blends of gasoline because there is a difference in ambient temperature. For fuel to burn in an engine, it must vaporize. In cold weather, fuel is less likely to vaporize. So, a special blend is needed in the winter time to make sure that your engine operates correctly. i think its the oil what more issues but that soon improves as engine warms up
Hello Lee , Judging by the title of this video you are indirectly answering my loooong standing question which is would you Lee not buy another EV , You are indeed saying you won't buy another and you are ADVICEING people NOT to buy one is that correct my friend . BTW love your videos
Is this your final, summary, EV episode?
I think the Porsche hasn't been too bad to own, i imagine it's earned you a few quid with these videos 😅
Of course, CLICKBAIT he could not subsantiate his claims over EV's
The song was From New York to L. A. by Patsy Gallant.
Funnily enough, Watching this video is a bit like charging up an EV.
23.5 minutes ago i was told I’d be given 25 reasons for not buying an EV (akin to driving into the car park with EV chargers)…..& we have only now just started no.1 (akin to all the chargers being taken and having to wait for one to be free). I e yet to listen to the 25 reasons (akin to getting charged up to 98%). Someone once said “life is short”…..
I would love to see a New CARS movie by DYsnee, featuring EVs. Lightning McQueen certainly will be fully charged up by a few Volts. Finally, that Dawg Pu will be the next generation for Motors.
