      I thought Mass folks skipped the 'R' sound sometimes. "I got wicked ham-ed at the keg paddy and had trouble paa-king my caa in the garaage". Translation: I got really drunk at the keg party and had trouble parking my car in the garage.

    I really enjoy these solo productions brought on by the need for social distancing due to Covid-19. Jay seems so much more relaxed & informal. He is able to share his thoughts & the information about the subject matter w/o having to have what is often a somewhat difficult conversation with a guest. The solo episodes are almost like he is talking directly to me. It makes the episode much more pleasant & appealing.

    I'm so happy that Tesla has an articulate, well-known, platformed advocate in mainstream-American, non-controversial car-loving motorhead Jay Leno. His POV about Elon and electric cars is exactly the de-politicised, common-sense, admiring attitude that one would have expected all Americans to have about such a remarkable success story. When I listened to Jay making the case, I end up thinking to myself, "how does it even happen that anyone doesn't see it that way."
    Thank you Jay. I'm sure you are reaching many open minds, and may even be eroding the resistance of some who reject Tesla for irrational reasons.

    • @GintaPPE1000
      @GintaPPE1000 4 роки тому +8

      Jay is dodging the problem, like everyone else who tries to defend Tesla. Detractors don't hate Tesla because of their cars or technology, they hate Tesla because of their abysmal QC, absolutely lousy business practices, "need to disrupt" attitude that makes interacting with them for any reason a PITA, Elon Musk's constant brash showgaming, and the double standard Wall Street treats the company with compared to the rest of the corporate world that allows them to get away with it all. This all comes from a Model S P85D first owner who had his car downgraded a year ago with no warning whatsoever. The software "update" isolated the front motor, disabled Supercharging (not just loss of free access, which I was still due another years' worth of, the Supercharger will simply refuse to charge the car) and halved my battery capacity - all for reasons Tesla still will not tell me besides "we shrink the usable battery size to preserve life as the car ages." I gave this company a chance, and they used it to milk my wallet. I'm keeping my S for now, as it does everything I need it to, but I'm through with buying Teslas until someone sues them for their depravity.
      If Ford operated at a loss for more than 2 straight quarters, never mind 9 straight years, Wall Street would freeze their lines of credit and send them into bankruptcy. If Mary Barra accused someone on Twitter of being a pedophile, never mind out of pure envy that he got the job done faster, she would've been sacked by her own board within hours. Ford is being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars over the PowerShift, 90% of the issues which arose because people don't know you can't crawl with a dry clutch DCT (it even says so in the owners' manual), despite the transmission causing no deaths or injuries, just safety risk. Meanwhile, over a dozen people have been killed in Autopilot crashes worldwide, and Tesla hasn't been successfully taken to court once. The world treats this company with a double standard because they're "hip," "cool," and "inventive." That's why people hate Tesla.

      @Mrcaffinebean 4 роки тому +12

      GintaPPE1000 it’s not a double standard. It’s a different standard. Tesla is not a car company. They are an R&D company that happens to make cars. In the same way Amazon is not a retailer. They are a tech company that just happens to sell retail goods.
      What investors correctly saw in Tesla after they went public is they are much more than just a car company. So they where willing to tolerate losses year over year because they know that soon those losses will become huge margins. It’s exactly what happened with Amazon.
      Just consider the SuperCharger network alone. Even if car companies start churning out Tesla competition tomorrow ever one of those cars will frequently use a SuperCharger.
      Now that said they aren’t perfect. They certainly have had QC struggles and Customer Service struggles. But frankly neither is any other car company. At the end of the day their are enough people willing to deal with those issues to drive a remarkable car. You just aren’t one of them.

    Jay Leno, I have to hand it to you. Here's why:
    When I was a young man, you seemed like a nice enough guy (and prettty funny to boot). But I am13 years years younger than you and you always seemed a little "old fogie" to me back in the 1980's and '90's (if you know what I mean). I think maybe your target audience was not me. But I must say, you have aged very gracefully and just become more relevant and cool. I love that you are open-minded and enjoy the qualities that make electric cars so much fun and so easy to drive (even if a bit different) and I'm super impressed to watch you experiment with the auto-pilot without being afraid of it. A lot of older guys and gals are afraid of it, as if they couldn't take over control at any time or something.
    You are a truely special American icon because you have stayed true to who you are. You continue to keep it real (in a fun and matter of fact way) and just keep getting better. Keep up the good work, I know you don't need the money, so you must really love doing what you do! My hat is off!
    Carry on!

In addition, you could not hold a candle to Jay Leno, either on the stage, running the tonight show for 20 years (at 20 million a year) or driving skills behind a car at over 200 mph.

Sit inside, look at it, touch the materials. I can list you down the materials used and precision stats of the last measurements and tests if you like. It surpassed every other car manufacturer. What you say DID apply once, especially when Tesla started, nearly 19 years ago. They only had an old plant from an other manufacturer to produce parts. And even until 2017 they were still too small to afford big expensive manufacturing machines for their processes. This has changed night to day though. They have even developed their own much sturdier and more luxurious materials, to surpass any other manufacturer and supplier. For example the high tech leathers, metals, silicons and interior timbers. Test drive one (free at any showroom, and no sales people that bother you) and you will believe me.

Your opinion influences so many car guys around the world and, by you being an advocate for Tesla, you open people’s eyes. If anybody else lists the same facts as you (Elon, me, top notch engineers, or your neighbors), people just can’t hear it. But when they hear it from YOU, they are receptive!
    And you know... you could be a hater too. The guy who could own any cars in the whole wide, world, why would you need a Tesla (you could easily be too cool for Tesla), that has crazy bad panel gaps, and faulty backseat alignments, etc. But instead you see the value and grasp what Tesla embodies, and you use your influence to spread that aspect of this amazing company.

      Dear @@peterferrydriver I am beyond happy to hear that your Tesla is perfect and congratulations for owning one. (Which one if I may ask?) I am unfortunately not a Tesla owner right now, but hopefully within the next 2 years I will be one. Right now I am just standing on the side of the pool, and jealously (but proudly) watching Tesla owners having fun in the water. I closely follow several Tesla youtubers (Ben Sullins, Andy Slye, Ryan Shaw) who are objective about Tesla, beside being a huge fan. Both Ben and Ryan just recently bought their Model Ys, and they both have very similar quality issues. (misaligned backseat, uneven panel gaps and other little things). I think Teslas are fantastic cars. I have never been bothered about them until I rented one from Turo to surprise my dad. Ever since, no other vehicle exists in my mind. The whole auto industry feels outdated after driving a Tesla. By now I have driven the S, 3 and X, and I always think that whichever I drive at the moment is my favorite. BUT.. it is a fact, that quality control is not up to the price of the cars. I am a fanboy, but I have to admit. Haters always keep bringing this up not focusing the other 200 categories where Tesla blows everyone out of the water. What I meant to highlight in my post is that Mr Leno has all the resources to be a hater, and point out all the flaws. He owns the highest class vehicles in the world. He is such an influential car enthusiast, and I love that he can see the positives and focus on them instead of being one of the small minded individual who cannot accept something that is new.

    Hey Jay! 2 things! The 1st is, do not close the front trunk like you do on your gas cars, unless of course you wanna head over to the repair shop for an expensive repair when you damage the front closing mechanism! So the correct way to close the front trunk lid is to lower the lid & apply a steady downward pressure engaging the closing mechanism which activates the closing mechanism & allowing allowing it to secure & lock the front trunk lid in place! The other thing is the towbar that’s located in the Front trunk is for someone to tow the Tesla, not the Tesla towing another vehicle, so if you wanna tow say a trailer or something like that you have to get a special towing hitch & attach it to the rear of the car! Great looking car by the way, I love the color scheme here & as always, great job & thanks for posting this video & hats off to Tesla’s for its vision of a cleaner, brighter future! Cheers!👍🏾👍🏾

      To be clear, worldwide carbon neutrality is the paramount goal for our planetary survival, and the most impactful action is ditching all fossil fuels within the decade. As the grid gets cleaner, we CONCURRENTLY start building electrified infrastructure in every sector. You don’t wait for the grid to be 100% FF free, then go to EV’s especially when right now we can make a difference. Besides the improvement in air quality for inner cities as we have seen during covid, an efficient EV in NYS gets 306 mpg equivalent, more than 10x what a Subaru Forester gets.
      That is a substantial difference. See state by state from The Union of Concerned Scientists

      @Barry Goldwater Ooooh wow Barry did you just google rare earth and Tesla? so impressed.
      You have a very superficial understanding of the topic at hand. Tesla does not use a permanent magnet motor, it uses a switched reluctance motor (which prior to Tesla's design, did not use any permanent magnets at all) and added a small amount of permanent magnet to overcome some inherent problems of this motor design - in the process they designed a whole new type of electric motor. The Model 3 uses a tiny fraction of permanent magnet material compared to a permanent magnet motor, and all the talking heads popping off about rare earth shortages on the internet are basing their calculations as if Model 3 were using a classic permanent magnet motor. It does not. Nothing to see here folks.
      And even with the Koch Brothers new boogie man being "rare earth metals', neodymium is more common in the Earth's crust than lead or tin.

We've had it for two weeks now and so far, we both love it. My Firebird is no longer the fastest nor the quickest in this household and I'm ok with that. My daily driver is a pickup truck and there is one out there that I'd love to see Jay test; the Rivian R1T. In the future, when my current truck gets tired and if finances allow, I may just get one of those (since I am more traditional, I like the body style of the Rivian truck better than the Tesla Truck).

Given his status, I'd wager that he's been asked this before regarding other vehicles because he's actually been given cars before. After reciting the question in a rather sarcastic and dismissive tone, he follows it up by stating that he purchased one himself (not that it would be difficult for him given his affluence) and made sure to emphasize that he paid full price. This would imply that he didn't receive any discounts, which he most likely has been given before on other purchases. The way in which he said it seemed to come across that he was appealing to the every-man implying that he too has to pay full price for what he wants to purchase. Juxtapose this with the following story of how he had a direct line to the owner of a multi-million dollar company to place an order for a vehicle that he was willing to pay full price for anyway; a process that could have been done online as everyone else is able to do. The idea that it was virtuous for him to pay full price for a product seems to fade when he likely used his connection with Elon to jump in line for a car that most people had to be put on a waiting list for. Granted, I didn't miss the point where Jay stated that Elon gave him his number with the idea of contacting him for an order. But you must reach a certain state of hubris if you think you can just call someone six years after the fact, assume that the offer is still valid, and assume that the president of a multi-million dollar global company is even still in your time zone.
