it's a giveaway for his sponsor ridge wallets. This is coming out of their advertising budget so i'd say with all the views and comments they're probably pretty happy with their investment.

@@ham_via_discidk how people fail to understand that even frivolous spending feeds families and supports jobs. Money doesn’t vanish. There’s far more predatory things in economics to focus on. Also gold plating uses a very small amount of gold, it’s not like he painted pure gold sludge onto the thing lol.
People are so narrow-minded. Even the richest person when buys something dumbest in the world that money at least goes somewhere. The worst kind is the one who is modest and drives a cheap car and eats like everybody else. You need a rich guy who spends millions on cars houses and everything else. Ideally you have a rich person who spends everything. I know there are two steps in concluding this but two steps shouldn't be that hard for a brain.
@@raspas99I'm not even hating on Zack here. He simply does this stupid stuff to appeal to the lowest common denominator. But no, we do not need rich people to spend their money frivolously. Rich people do the world much greater good by giving their undue earnings to charitable causes. All the rich people I've associated with in life have and it's been far more beneficial than indirectly transferring that money to the owner of some high profit margin business without even a sliver of ethical concerns.
@@Shylocksis Check out the 2004 Ford F-150 with its terrible electrical system, or the 2005 Nissan Titan with its massive oil leaks and faulty rear axle. Both come from companies with good reputation. Saying "worst ever" is just off the cuff talk. It's far from the worst.
@@kneekoo those vehicles had some problems, but The cybertruck has far more, more things brake on the cybertruck on the regular than other trucks, not only that though, the side panels are hardly aligned and pieces just fall off, and you can't forget that the frunk will literally break your finger, the whole truck is a disaster.
@@Shylocksis Most of the issues got fixed already. But how surprised are you that a brand new architecture didn't launch without issues? I'm not trying to find excuses for them, I would certainly expect any manufacturer to sell stuff that actually works, and doesn't break down soon after purchase, but we've seen this from many manufacturers when they launched something brand new. And especially from Tesla, who push the limits frequently, I expect potential issues by default with new models. This is why getting one after release feels to me just like pre-ordering some AAA game just because it looks promising - only to bump into bugs on top of bugs. For the average consumer, it's just not worth it. For those willing to take risk for the sake of being the first, it obviously is worth it. I'm totally fine with any manufacturer releasing stuff that is 100% ironed out, as long as they mention that. But in the case of Cybertruck I think anyone with a semi-functioning brain would expect some issues from the get go. That's why I don't feel sorry for those who bought the truck, whether they knew what they were getting into or not. That said, Tesla is also faster than most to fix their issues, both in hardware and software. That's one of the reason some people are willing to put up with imperfections, and that's one of the reasons why they lead in customer satisfaction and retention. I wish we didn't have to complain about issues like these. But when you see even Ford mess up, despite over 100 years of experience, you shrug and move on. One thing is for sure, despite its shaky launch, the Cybertruck will become reliable and become very popular. And that's because the engineers at Tesla always find ways to address issues and improve their work. They certainly work differently compared to the legacy auto makers, but they also do a great job.
@@dirt3009it’s not his car. It’s a car for a giveaway. Ridge wallet just let him gold plate it and film the process. Ridge paid for everything and is going to give it away with other cars.
I've been to that car wash a 100 times, it's in Kaysville Utah. I grew up there, I'm surprised Benjamin Franklin Crafts is still there even though it looks like they changed the name of it now. Pretty fun seeing this!
Just like chrome plating the more care you take preparing the surface the better the final result will be. Personally I would have fine polished the stainless steel before the gold plating and then would have added a few more coats of gold plating polishing the surface between each coat, that would give a deep gold shine. As a finish possibly spray a self leveling clear coat to protect it.
We all left feedback in what went wrong and how bad it looked in the first video, and so they decided to cover it in water to mask just how bad thud thing looks for the second video hahahaha. So obvious why they had to do that. You can see in the first video all the streaking in the final result. So they figured water would naturally streak over the top of that. They couldn't have made that any more obvious 😅
The cyber truck is only a deathtrap for those hit by it, if you are in the cyber truck, you’re going to be well protected. That is why it’s not being sold in Europe, they think they are protecting other cars on the road.
@@bartcrestbreaker1 Maybe you should research why cars have crumple zones. Also you don't see the problem with the sharp edges in the event of a pedestrian impact?
If you’ve ever had to paint something like a car or stain/paint a table or anything like that, you always rough and smooth the surface. It removes imperfections and is more uniform, same applies to most painting jobs
As a jeweller I feel bad the gold plating service didnt tell you this beforehand. Its just like jewellery and must be polished to a mirror finish if you want the full look. It still looks amazing though
I fix everything, and I actually foresaw that problem when watching the original video for the first time. I hope you collected the gold you polished off the door.
Looks good ngl. I actually like the black cybertruck as well. Of course it has a strange shape, but I think it was the titanium grey that hurt the original cybertruck look the most
Try once more, first polish the stainless to a mirror shine, then apply the gold and make vertical passes starting from the top so as to wipe away any “runs”. Then buff the gold and profit.🎉
WOW, they use Cromium......don't know why that surprises me......I used Dupont Chromium based primer when I painted for Bell Helicopter in 2006.......it's anti-corrosion properties are amazing.....
I used to do gold plating and you should've put a layer of nickel in between the stainless steel and the gold. Gold doesn't bond to steel very good but it'll bond to nickel and with better results.
If you would’ve asked anyone that has ever electroplated anything they would’ve told you your prep work it was gives you your finish. I did think it was hilarious watching the video and seeing you guys apply the plating to a basically untreated/unprepoed truck
That was gold in itself, “You don’t know what you don’t know”. Although if I might add what what you don’t know could kill you you, not only physically. ;)
I understand that there isn't a tutorial on how to gold plate a cyber truck. But there are tutorials on how to gold plate stainless steel. Which is what the cyber truck is made of.

Y'all... gold PLATING applies a very thin layer, which is not nearly as expensive as you're imagining. Though I imagine that because of the wrap layer it's still a costly process.
Should have started under the headlights and under the tail lights, above the bumpers. If it's a Little shinier/ mirror like, it doesn't matter because first they match, and second it makes sense.
I predicted that and for sure were I working with a couple hundred K worth of gold plating I would have for sure fully polished the stainless twice before beginning.

that's funny af
Gold plating doesn’t even use that much gold the process cost more than the gold itself
Replace stainless steel with 100% gold
unfortunately it will be too heavy
It will bend on its weight as real gold is soft
It'll buckle under its own weight but on the plus side, it won't rust like the other cybertrucks
It wouldn't be bulletproof anymore and it would be awfully heavy beside from the cost.
