40 years ago self driving cars were science fiction. Imagine if this tech was around during the production of Knight Rider. No need to build blind drive cars when you have cars that can actually drive by themselves. It blows my mind how far technology has advanced in my lifetime. Eventually we might be able to buy our very own BTTF hoverboards.
Planes could steer and land themselves since the early 1960''s. The leap is that the tech is becoming smaller and cheaper and thus available for consumers.
Yeah I was hoping to see Joe and AJ drive up in K.I.T.T., eject to the top of the water tower and release the Warner Brothers! (... AND the Warner sister!)
I am so very glad you went to this event to show your Kitt - because he is still the most beautiful car and with his personality, he has no competition. Seeing the drive in the Tesla...I admit that I would fee much safer with Jack Gill hiden behind the seat...but I am just an "old school". By all means, you deserved to be there. Great song too, yes!!!
KITT is more impressive than the Teslas will ever think about being!! You need to take Him out and blow the carbs out. Getting too much black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes. Take Care and God Bless You Guys! Don W. From Iowa
Thanks for such a fun video, guys! I really liked it. That black smoke suggests it's running far too rich for some reason, which would also make it hard to start. If the engine is cold and it's on choke then is could be something as simple as the choke pulldown, which is a vacuum servo that pulls the choke off a bit when the engine fires, not working correctly. Had loads of issues and fun setting carbs up in the past so they start and run well when cold.
Joe , AJ have you considered or maybe thought of airing the new Knight Rider Historians videos on Friday nights at 8pm Eastern like when Knight Rider was aired? Just like I was excited and anticipating the new Knight Rider adventures I also feel the same for the new Knight Rider Historians adventures! Thanks for all you guys are doing! 😊. Boyd from Ontario.
Never watched much Dukes - so you're going "here's the courthouse, this is the old house from..." and I'm sitting here going, "Dragonfly Inn, Luke's Diner..."
Love the short series Joe & AJ! The guy from the car transport company was so excited to drive KITT, that was how excited I was to sit in your car that was displayed at Universal Studios over the water in the 80's. I have watched Waymo beta test their autonomous vehicles in Chandler Arizona since 2017, & have been using them myself since 2019. It is worth the price of admission to see the looks of people when a driverless car pulls up next to them in traffic. Too bad Pontiac isn't around these days to make it full circle. Hello From Phoenix Arizona 🌡 🔥
I've been on that lot sooooo many times throughout the years. but, I still get lost each and every time, too! one of the last times I got discombobulated there, I just happened to be in the EXACT spot where they shot the cover photo for the Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd) album cover! next time you (Joe and/or AJ) are in town here, hit me up and we'll hang a bit!
Live from "The Foundation HQ" in Knightriderington, Knightridershire county, Knightrider State! Joe and co on the orders from Devon cease all major operations on restoring FLAG hardware due to inclement weather conditions.
The courthouse set you walked into , That was used in the 1960's original Batman Tv show as the Gotham City Police Headquarters. , And if you saw the Mountain off in the distance, that was "Waltons Mountain" from the show, and to this day, still features the Batcave/entrances in the mountains. Also where two streets form a fork, with a three-story building in the foreground That is also featured in the 1960's Batman tv series.
Too bad I didn't run a little longer I love part 1 and I love part 2 awesome job y'all did over there yeah I can't believe K.I.T.T. was that the Warner Bros Dukes of Hazzard chat that was awesome
Interesting that the last film to use Stage 28 was Lethal Weapon 4 back in 1998 always great to find tiny little nuggets of information from one of my favourite film franchise's to watch around the holiday season 👍
What an opportunity you had over at Warner Bros.! In my view, Pontiac's Firebird/Trans Am design for the early 1980s (KITT) is a timeless look --- it easily blends in well with the Teslas and other cars on the road today --- after over 40 years! Besides - Tesla implemented all the technologies that KITT pioneered in the day (LOL)! I always look forward to your video uploads --- thank you so much for what you do.
Hi joe we love your channel you probably don’t remember us we sent you a old short video of your car at universal studios,keep up the good interesting work 👍
I never thought I would see Tesla's in Hazzard County. Boss Hogg would be calling them a "funny looking contraption", Rosco would be want one for hot pursuit, Cooter would probably be scratching his head on how these things work, Uncle Jesse would be glad the doors aren't welded shut, Daisy would be sitting on one of them becoming a "swanky hood ornament" and Bo and Luke would either enter one in a race or see how far they could jump one over Hazzard Pond. Oh and please, please, please let's give KITT a proper battery. He would not want a Wal-Mart battery powering his turbines (or if stuck in the desert, a Ram Jet) so let's save the Never Start batteries for the "Inferior Production Line Models" and I think KITT would actually agree with KARR on this one.
If you want to get rid of that engine smoke, there's a product called engine restore made by a company called Rislone. Comes in a gray can and you can get it at Walmart. Put some of that in the oil and then run the car for about 30 to 40 minutes and it will stop. It's a great product. I use it every other oil changed to keep my motor healthy.
@@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial I love this, tyvm. seeing that tesla getting hit with that hammer, made me think about *KITTS Bonded Shell* an just had to smile wow huh.. its amazing how far Technology has come since *KnightRider*
KITT is my favorite for ever. Best look, best gadgets, best IA, etc... Maybe it could be awesome to adapting Tesla technology on a real KITT replica or something... I don't know.. But are we sure, that Tesla are really safe and autonomous ?? No remote control or satellite control with Starlink or something like that ?? I'm just questioning... 🤔🤔🤔
@13:42 This Car and Concept is still being developed by Unknown sources ( Not Tesla ) and may not be the Pontiac Trans Am that we know today. Apart from the Turbo Boost (flight) this will be a Reality soon :)
Love the video, Joe and AJ! Will your KITT be back at the Petersen Museum for early February? I’m going to LA for business and making at stop at the Petersen Museum to specifically see your car!
You guys gotta do the old steam cleaning trick of spraying or splashing in very tiny bits of water down the Carberator to clean off any carbon and other crap in Kitts motor and then rev it a couple times while doing so to clean him up!
Tesla would make a mint if they got authorization from the studio to make an all electric K.I.T.T. special release... Just saying.... I think I would sell a kidney and a lung for the opportunity...
Those guys just grabbing hold of the rear arches and pulling. No freaking clue. I would have screamed at them. Just put your hands on the top of the tyres and roll the tyres.
KITT is still unbeaten on looks, thanks for sharing
KITT was parked in front of the famous Gotham City Police HQ from the '66 Batman series!
Oh thats awesome! Had no idea!
I noticed that instantly.
@@born_again_torinos me too
was that the "Adam West" one?
@@dh2032 Yes.
You guys definitely need to take that car back out to the desert someday and recreate the opening credits.
Hmm....stay tuned to the channel :)
yesssssss!
I was hoping that they would do that, too.

They needed the Hoff there. Amazing to live long enough to see cars driving themselves.
Tesla wishes it was KITT.
Yup. Tesla whooooo
Yep KITT rules !!!
HEY! THE WATER TOWER! Hope you said to Yakko, Wakko, and Dot! :)

It was fun to see you interacting with Casey Abrams. (bass player / American Idol contestant / Postmodern Jukebox featured performer)
Ha! We had no idea who he was!
I remember him from American Idol. Casey is still good now as he was on American Idol.

Held my breath a few times there when that open door got perilously close to that pole!
Out of all of the movies that were filmed in the studio used for DoZ, Blazing Saddles is the only one that matters :P
Je vous regarde depuis la France 🇫🇷 ! Bravo pour l’excellent travail réalisé 😊

You need to take Him out and blow the carbs out. Getting too much black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes.
Take Care and God Bless You Guys!

There is now an official Transformers/Knight Rider crossover figure from Hasbro.
Hi WB and Universal Studios and Joe and and AJ and KITT nice video 📹 and workmanship AND TESLA TEAM
You guys definitely need to do some carb adjustments. It's running real rich
We are working on the issues when the car is back in our care.
@@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial Do you already know when you take it back to the HQ? I can't wait to see more videos and repair work done with it.
When it smokes like that just give it the old Italian tune up...
so basically kitt is in hazzard square lol cool 😎
Thanks for such a fun video, guys! I really liked it.

As much as i think that Tesla is the worst car brand, it is still cool to see KITT back at a Studio.

I'm glad I'm not the only one weird enough to think like this.
The fake Courthouse was most known (for this demographci) as the Gotham City Courthouse in 1966 the Batman series. really like the new intro too btw
Close, it was used as the Gotham City Police headquarters. And not the shows courthouse.
Never watched much Dukes - so you're going "here's the courthouse, this is the old house from..." and I'm sitting here going, "Dragonfly Inn, Luke's Diner..."
That's Gilmore Girls, if you didn't know. Star's Hollow locations.
If you watched Gilmore Girls, this was Stars Hollow as well.
Sounds like kitt could use a tune up from being in the museum
Cool to see, thanks for this dude
Thank you for sharing your fascinating insights but I am still a traditionalist loving KITT watching from South Africa
That outdoor set was also used as River City, Iowa in "The Music Man", featuring western Pennsylvania's own Shirley Jones!
KITT in Courthouse Square 2ould be tops.

Hello From Phoenix Arizona 🌡 🔥
We have snow here in Finland too, Awesome Work Broos, Thanks!!!👍👍👍 Christmas 🎄🎁🎁Greetings from Helsinki, Finland🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Nice to see much of the back lot still intact. The courthouse was featured in The Twilight Zone: The Movie and the pilot of Night Gallery.
Greaat episode!! I was hoping to see Elon Musk with you guys!!
29:15 Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan had to be at the bar 😂

Kitt is x1000 cooler than anything that egotistical wannabe-genius could ever make, but it's still so cool to see him in the studio backlots again :3
Hi joe we love your channel you probably don’t remember us we sent you a old short video of your car at universal studios,keep up the good interesting work 👍
The biggest issue I have with this is, KITT doesn't have raised white lettering on his tires. They should've have had the tired flipped
Wow, snow!
I never thought I would see Tesla's in Hazzard County. Boss Hogg would be calling them a "funny looking contraption", Rosco would be want one for hot pursuit, Cooter would probably be scratching his head on how these things work, Uncle Jesse would be glad the doors aren't welded shut, Daisy would be sitting on one of them becoming a "swanky hood ornament" and Bo and Luke would either enter one in a race or see how far they could jump one over Hazzard Pond.

The Court Building, you see the Heat of the Night is the same one you see in the first five episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard....
A little bit of Post Modern Jukebox towards the end there. Casey Abrams.

I'm just questioning... 🤔🤔🤔
The red doors on the side of the Hazzard County Court House were shown 1 time in Ghost of the General Lee!
This Car will Always be Dream for me to Own. And i know One Day it will be Possible too ( Not Tesla ).
KITT smokes like he's a diesel!
And he was very iffy while starting like if he is a clapped out volunteer fire truck from the Great Plains that is on the bigiron auctions website...
Tesla needs to put that tech into KITT.- why has no one thought of that already?
The cover of Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' was shot on this lot between the studio buildings in 1975.
Any idea why KITT's smoke release operates when floored?
While people were hitting the Cybertruck door, it sounded like MKBHD was there.
12:35 KITT needs a carburetor kit rush to make it start it up like Joe’s screen used KITT and make him a Little less gas gusler. Lol!
good video guys
Elon knows how to party.
@13:42 This Car and Concept is still being developed by Unknown sources ( Not Tesla ) and may not be the Pontiac Trans Am that we know today. Apart from the Turbo Boost (flight) this will be a Reality soon :)

@ Can’t wait to see it! Supper’s in the backseat and momma’s home hungry!
How far away is Warner Brothers Studios from Universal?
5 minutes!
Kitt needs a tune up it sounds like
Very cool event. Black smoke, maybe KITT's running a bit rich mixture, engine sounded like in Ring of Fire episode :D
29:30 - I can't think of his name, but I remember him from the peak of Postmodern Jukebox
EDIT: @sfxtd pointed out it's Casey Abrams
So, did the event garner you some new patrons? 🤞😬🤞
Are you guys going to fix the tail lights on KITT
Yes!
Any episodes with KITT having white print on his tires??😊
I am working on AJ to let me change those out!
I was trying to decide whether I liked that or not.
Sounds like it could use some service work
Buy him some spark plugs. He will be very happy ;-)
It is new spark plugs...we have other issues we will be addressing when the car is returned to us
QUESTION - What blew up off KARR when he hit the water? Everything seemed fine when they found him in season 3
He landed on a large shallow deposit of methane gas that exploded?
I thought KARR fired off an explosive flare before hitting the ground.
You need a DeLorean to get the Back To The Future Court House.
I was wondering if the transport guys were familiar with what they were moving.
That KITT's an air conditioned car too
You guys gotta do the old steam cleaning trick of spraying or splashing in very tiny bits of water down the Carberator to clean off any carbon and other crap in Kitts motor and then rev it a couple times while doing so to clean him up!
a lil baking soda in the carb will help too.
Why didnt you put the fog light inserts in?
Just needs a fresh carb uh I mean turbine plate rebuild!
@0:09 We have not seen this in the UK for a long time :(
If the cyber truck is so good why did whistling diesel break his
The hit the door on the x thing feels very staged, like they are afraid of people hitting it anywhere else.
Also, is that Casey Abrams?
Looked like a plastic sledge hammer.
Yes, that was Casey Abrams.
If that was my car i be only driving it
Take and vuild another kitt replica, take telslas tech and put in a kitt replica, it can be done
Tesla would make a mint if they got authorization from the studio to make an all electric K.I.T.T. special release... Just saying.... I think I would sell a kidney and a lung for the opportunity...
I grew up watching both Shows Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider, was also a Fan of The Fall Guy, don't make shows like those anymore.
OMG AJ is obnoxious. Attending an event like this with must be pure torture.
It's AJ's KITT dude, of course he attended. You must be new here.
Those guys just grabbing hold of the rear arches and pulling. No freaking clue. I would have screamed at them. Just put your hands on the top of the tyres and roll the tyres.
Ah there's the courthouse. I posted my reply too early. I hadn't seen it when I posted.
Give it time, when Elon has time, he'll probably be wanting to set your KITT up to actually drive itself. Lol

This is Part 2...
