Good afternoon Scotty. 🌤️🌴🌳🥵
they're
* they're not 'their'
Scotty how can you say that. You seemed to be older than me and I remember AMC. That was a car manufacturer that went out of business.
Jeep for one is known for having no spare parts available for repairs while they continue to build new vehicles containing that part.
VinFast, a Vietnamese EV company, announced in 2022 that they would be building a huge car and battery manufacturing plant in NC that would employ 7,500 people. They just announced there will be a delay and nothing will be starting until 2028. I'm expecting delay will turn into cancellation either this year or next.
I literally hate EVs because they represent a mass formation psychosis in which people have been duped into believing that the end of the world is imminent because of "climate change" and meanwhile there are wars everywhere that are killing people and causing mass migrations. The largest carbon emitter is the military. Some of the same people driving EVs are cheering wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
TY
The US market is going down the drain, China is now the king of consumerism. I see more and more evidence of that all the time. There are tons of brands that models that are simply not available here. This is a pickup truck and SUV market.
So many Nam Vets are holding out for a VC car company here. I have a shirt and shoes made in southeast asia. A Car? No.
There are lots of VinFast (rolling pile of junk ) on the road in Canada. They look like a Kia Sportage from 10 year's ago
One of the advantages of being poor is you look for a good used car that your garage mechanic can fix.
Scotty has lots of common sense. This is why his channel is so popular!!!!! 🇺🇸
Common generic whatever. ( Yeah what he said.)
Those empty charging stations, we paid for them.
I'm curious if bailouts were worth it, mathematically. Other that making sure some folks had jobs.
So far in 3 yrs since the Infrastructure Bill passed, $7B for charging stations only 7 built so far. Elon built 2k in 6 months.
There’s 8 where I live and they’re full all the time since it’s by an expressway.
Plus people waiting are 2-3 cars deep!
Hilariously stupid!
@@patrickmcdonald3427seven? There’s loads of them; thousands?
@@edc1569the gubmint paid 8,000,000,000 for 7, yes, 7 of 'em!
Gubmint efficiency at its best! 😮
Golf carts are about it, for EV's.
Toy cars are it for EVs
My dad had one that came with the house they bought. He immediately dumped it and bought a gas one.
Not all of them lol
Here's the kicker -- there are things, like the sunroof, for example, that you have to *subscribe* to in order to keep them functioning. Like what BMW tried to do with their heated seats. And now the folks who own Fiskar cars are just SOL when it comes to those devices on their vehicles. What fun!!
Couldn't happen to nicer people
Business 101: If you lose money on every car manufactured you cannot make it up with volume!
Tesla lost money on EVs until the 3rd quarter of 2016. They squeaked by in selling carbon credits - which is a scam, but it's a legal scam
If you dig yourself in a hole, dig your way out!
Keep it to yourself man. They don't pay you to think for them.
Funny how the government does things that way, though. After all, it's your money, not theirs.😊😅😮😢
That’s why I’m still driving a 34 year old 4WD SUV. Tougher than anything made today.
What is it? I remember the chevy Blazer of the 70s
How’s your gas mileage?
I have a '23 Toyota tacoma
If I get 34 years of driving out of it, I'll be 101....lol
Ill be in the ground
The Tacoma will still be going strong
The key to any company success is the “demand” must be equal to or greater to than the supply.
That's the 4678th car company that has gone bankrupt this year alone 😂
RIP Bankrupt Car Companies.
Melanin says to stay tuned for more.
Back in 1988, about a month after I took a delivery of my 1st brand new one 4-wheel drive , Isuzu Trooper-II, during my trip home from work in Waltham, MA it was heavy ice storm, when I turn on my windshield wiper, it stopped working, I pulled over to my Isuzu dealer near my office in Waltham, MA and asked for help to fixed motor of wiper. They told me that my warranty does not covered the wiper during the storm since it was considering "act of God" and I ended up paying for this service. This was my 1st warrenty claims and it was denial and I have to pay up front fee at the dealer.
Dude SERIOUSLY?!? They couldn't fix it just out of common courtesy?!? A One Month Old Truck?!? An "act of GOD"?!?SERIOUSLY?!?!?😮😮😮
It pays to be an atheist when it comes to car warranties.
My wife worked in Waltham. Right near the bridge under forever construction.
That's because u bought an Isuzu.
Duh.
@@johnsmith1953xI've heard similar stories about Fords, Chevy's, Toyotas, Hondas, lots of things. My step dad is a mechanic. I've heard all kinds of horror stories him and his customers have told me about companies that most deem of decent quality and reputation, refusing to honor warranty claims that should have absolutely been honored.
EV's are going to be throw away cars.
Saw a poor guy driving a Fisker SUV, looks real nice. But feel for the guy when he chose to get it repaired.
Just got a new vehicle but opted for a conventional ICE powered one over EV. The lack of charging stations and time it takes to charge, dangers of spontaneous combustion and EV fires being difficult to put out, range anxiety and the enormous cost of doing repairs among other things fueled my decision (no pun intended). I'll probably be open to considering an EV when manufacturers come up with acceptable solutions to those issues.
I'm really not sure, as I've been wrong before, but I kinda get the feeling that Scotty isn't much of a fan of electric vehicles.
I think he's wrong about artificial intelligence, tho, the computing power of AI is huge.
@@timothydraper3687I’m worried ai might go after him for taking trash lol
Yeah, i also have a hunch that he prefer japanese car...Call me nostradamus :)
@@timothydraper3687 It’s a faster search engine. Nothing original comes from AI. Just permutations of information. Humans do the same thing but….humans can ALSO think out side the box. That box is the fixed database that AI is encapsulated in.
@@theadvocate4698 hilarious!
I inquired online about buying a new gasoline car this week and the replies were so stupid and greedy I just had my old car repaired amd told them to stuff it. I said up front I didn't want any dealer added options and every proposal had clear coat, theft devices and other junk. The general public must be stupid if they go along with this.
😂oh they are.. that stupid the general public
Solution to a problem that does not exist 👍
You don’t think there are ANY problems with IC engines? Not even one?
@@kenmorrisproducer
But usually you can repair them.
No parts available for EVs.
Toyota just had a problem with iits v6 Turbo engines. The are replacing every one of those engines for replace!
That's what a good company does!!
I am glad you are still alive. I read the rumor and I was bummed out!
It's always worthwhile to hear what Mr Kilmer has to say.🌞 Thanks Scotty!
Scotty use must be making a small fortune off UA-cam, good for you, you are definitely putting in the work.
Fisker was better built than teslas! Only issue (major issue) was that it had to be connected to fiskers WI-FI connect to run! And if it went off line the car would shut down! And they would just stop in middle of road! Possible accident issues! That’s as far as the safety went. They’re stable and sterdy cars.
Even tho they’re GM-ford scrambled parts thrown together 😂
Only the carriages WITHOUT horses need wifi to run. At this rate the year 1900 will look like the future.
So it means it cannot run without internet. All my cars do not have internet connected and I don't need it.
"The solution to the problem that doesn't exist" well said Scotty
Looks like Fisker couldn't "cut it." Sorry I couldn't resist.🤣😆
Jolly good
🥁
Naturally smart man with a big experience. Very strong.
There should be an investigation into this company. Someone once gave the a valuation of 2.9 billion dollars. Turned out to be a poorly run hollowed shell of a company that was never going to be profitable and didn't even have their own factory. Now thousands of people are driving $50k-$60k+ vehicles that are not even a year old and only worth $5k at best.
True...SEC ? Publicly traded?
That's messed up. I'd be so pissed spending that type of money for a new vehicle that has no support and that I can't even find parts for for maintenance. Is there some sort of law that protects consumers from things like this?
But but but climate change... lol
@@artstudent1237 Yeah, it's called caveat emptor.
@@deusvult6632 what they call climate change is just changes in weather that is typical. I looked into weather stats on my area and we had hotter weather in the 1920's to 1940's than today. Not even close to as bad back then. In the mid to late 1990's I couldn't ski because there was no snow and was too warm even in January and February. We've been having average snow and temperature winters for the past 10-15 years and skiing into March.
Thanks Scotty 😊
Was that Mr Fisker, of 'Mr Fister'????😂😂😂
@@jimvanlieshout7657 The second one.
Never liked Mr Fisker. It’s like Delorean. Parts from all over the place and MFG dished out to Magna.
Good story and thanks for sharing.
Word ! "Question things ! Dont accept what people throw at you".
Looks like taxpayers always end up buying UAW junk one way or another.
I would be surprised if Elon can make toast without a tutor
They already have solid state batteries. It cost a million bucks and no one can afford it, yet.
Whatever happened to testing before selling? Testing in labs not customers.
Ask Ford!
What’s going to happen to a Tesla wiper in the winter when people try to clean snow with it?
I guess Elon himself don't even drive in snow. He's not a real car guy anyway.
I actually saw a Fisker Ocean today where I live. I've only seen 2 as of today. Lolll!!!
Absolutely right Scotty - I've heard ducks fart in long grass before.
Rivian is next 😂
Volkswagen bought them.
Once they start selling stock, the original products barely matter anymore!
The "macroeconomic " issues faced were the demands from the huge stock holders & top "C" level owners.
Even Ford cannot afford to lose $100k per vehicle for very long!
Another govt bailout coming? 🤬
@billferris5292 another tax payer bail out.
But the man on the TV told me I need to buy an EV to save the world!! 🤣
The TV told me I MUST support the current ' thing ' .🙄🙄🙄
Smokey the bear told me I was the only one who could prevent forest fires. I've had PTSD ever since, because THAT is a tough job for just ONE person (me) to have!
@@DarkForce2024 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
The TV told me that "a mind is a terrible thing"! Hahaha
The first powered flight took a long time to turn into viable aircraft, remember, so an experimental magnet without rare earth elements in is is maybe similar, too?
Very interesting
Scotty is right.We are far from the time to drive EVs, as a daily drive. So, try to maintain your car specially if you have manual transmission to drive it forever.
Fiskar has now gone bust twice. They failed the first time, what made them think it would work? Will they be dumb enough to try again thinking the old adage third time is a clarm?
As a satisfied Ford owner for 15 years, I'll never buy another Ford due to them wasting billions of dollars on this EV fiasco. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for my next (and probably last) vehicle.
Every company made EVs. Get a moped
Wife’s family had Fords since 1949, and she and I mostly Ford’s since 1971. Maybe no more. Don’t want bad engines and transmissions and superfluous electronics and high price.
The big 3 are on life support.
Think of how much torque it takes to swing a 5 foot long wiper arm.
I bet that replacement wiper blade costs $200! I doubt Autozone has them.
Houston hurricane saw stacks of e cars longest charge lines just horrible.
I'm still waiting for personal flying car promised to the public in the late 50s early 60s,still earth bound.😂😂😂
What happened to all the diesel VWs that were recalled and purchased from owners because of pollution issues??
I got one!
they've installed computer system back in 2015 which control the emission system but it gave American Government problem with the emission scams so VW had to stop selling diesel cars immediately. some of the unsold diesel cars either been destroyed or sent to Europe.
Fixed software and resold to new owners with secret warranty of emissions control equipment. Get one without the DEF fluid tank. Audi A3 or VW Jetta TDI.
My 2015 VW DIESEL Sport wagon gets 60 mpg & runs maintenance free! ( if driven 5 mph slower than speed limit of 65 & 55 zones. )
From WC, You know it is strange, if I understand correctly my 2005 Honda CR-V and my 2003 Ford Ranger puts out more pollution than a 2015 VW Diesel but my vehicles are legal and the VW Diesel was subject to heavy fines in the millions or billions, I guess it just doesn’t make sense to me?!
I live in LA, and I've seen a bunch of the Karma Fiskers. They are really beautiful cars. Maybe if they kept their production to a couple thousand a year, they might be a profitable company.
I saw one of those Fisker 'Ocean' SUVs about a week before they filed for Bankruptcy. It reminded me of a Land Rover Discovery, only more overpriced than the Land Rover and probably less reliable (if that's possible). That's probably the first and last time I will see one on the road.
@@crosslink1493 I just saw the sport coupes mainly. Like I said, I thought they were pretty well designed looking cars.
He would be happier in an ox cart
" A solution to a problem that does not exist " quintessential Scotty.
My Kia Forte is 10 years old, with a GDI engine and has gotten me from point A to point B with zero problems. Would I buy another Kia? Heck yeah. Well, assuming this one dies before I do!
rain-X windshield like the old R model mack trucks wipers dont work on them.
Now who will service and warrenty, and what about the parts.
You forget FIELD TESTING is probably the number one problem regarding these failed vehicles and parts that don't hold up or don't work at all?
Why do these corporations accept parts without testing to find out if they are good, bad or JUNK?
Love it
Isn't Fisker old school scissor company you know the one with the orange handle?
Fiskars
Deferent brandz
I have 3 Fiskar tools.... very good quality (they all have orange handles)
Do a review on the 2025 Camry
after the electric car recharging fiasco this last winter,,,this is not very surprising
There must be a big toilet to flush all those companies 😂😂😂
The Cybertruck will have a heavy duty Baldor 10 horsepower motor to move that long blade
drive on sunny days. 🌞
My guess is Rivian will be next.
Never buy a car the first two years in production! That’s the rule I follow and it never failed me.
We at Fisker believe that going out of business is our most viable option at this time.
Never heard of this company. Obviously, great marketing department.
I'll believe your "I never thought" part.
In my opinion Evie car should only be made to order well they can make backup parts for them
Tell it like it is Scotty.
It's "CHEAP" to sue & very expensive to defend.
Big wipers? They are on formula 1 race cars & road race cars ( Lemans )....
the only car i would ever buy is a late 80s volvo wagon
A day without Scotty is illegal who else agree
Agree tis be the law
We all agree😂😂😂
Agree
Joeys infrastructure/Green Deal gives 2 Billion to US makers for EV production. So might as well spend it./ Then close EV plant and use it to make gas cars later.
UA-cam would never be the same
A nice luxury company can't just make a simple but luxurious car or SUV that makes sense
Tesla can't make:
windshield wiper, doors, brake, auto pilot, key and spare parts right.
Except "old Elon" makes more profit on every car he sells than ANY car sold. Scotty, when you say "stupid" you're projecting.
The reason people buy Tesla is because it's the new 'bmw' status symbol that's why.
Every other EVs are sitting unsold in dealer lots no one actually wants EVs.
Even in California the most EV friendly state nearly 20% of EV owners revert back to ICE that's sad
car decision is too important i change the car I wanna buy on 2021 coz of spare parts availability wanted good car with part everywhere I look nd go
My aunt has one.
"Fisteren"? Never heard of it.
Like it is said, if you tell a lie long enough, it becomes truth.
Giving one to Bieber which he had wrapped in chrome foil was their fatal mistake
According to a report by MIT's Climate Lab, one ton of mined lithium emits nearly 15 tons of CO2. And, it seems we've reached peak lithium, making it very environmentally destructive.
a gas car produces in 1000kmas much co2 as to produce on ev battery so the payoff if after the battery is made no more co2.
@@rpinnon Your point is good, but where does that EV get it's charge from? The solution to all the problems of the human condition is population. Only back in the '70's did anyone talk about that. Business and traditional types saw that fecundity will "win".
Elan is getting into the hydrogen vehicle business
I have another Hybrid please and thank you.
Scotty recommends buying two Tesla just in case one is in the shop.
EV's will work but not until they've worked out the recharging debacle.
I feel sorry for the people that bought the cars now that the company is gone broke .
Hey, and don’t forget the people that own them already are going to have fun because in order to use their sunroof they have to have an app and they have to pay monthly to use that app but Fisker isn’t going to support the app anymore. Now these people won’t even be able to use the sunroof in the cars they already own, or should I say they won’t be able to operate the sunroof that they bought and paid for
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Doesn't matter what electric car they all turn to crap..
Good
A friend of mine bought two of those Fords and Ford bought them back at market value but he received an insider tip on how to proceed.
The approach to building the EV market was not well thought out, they should have concentrated on local commuter vehicles (less than 100 miles a day) the vast majority of pollution from vehicles comes from local commuting and wouldn't require any change in infrastructure to support it and the vehicles could be sold much cheaper!
Didn't Fisker already BK once before?
The best electric car was Scalextric.
And they are crap today! Bought one for the kids last year, broke down after 3 hours, sent it back, got it back repaired, and 2 hours later...it's now collecting dust. Can't be bothered with that chinese crap.
