Scotty is a national treasure. Love from Pennsylvania!

I think of the cybertruck as a DeLorean truck, that's all I see everytime I see it. If there's a back to the future reboot, this thing will be the new time machine

[Extremenow]

Why is the auto industry/government so into electric vehicles when our grid can't even handle it when everyone turns on their A/C??

[joeloliver]

The ending brings up a great topic: EV's in Canada... specifically EV's in northern Alaska or Canada, where temperatures plummet into sub -40 temps where the batteries cannot fully deliver and cannot be charged. These cars may be perfect for Florida temps, but are useless in sub 0 temps. And since these all electric vehicles drain their batteries to heat the passenger compartment only amplifies the problem. Maybe battery packs which are highly insulated and self-heated can mitigate this problem, but will surely reduce capacity and range.

Scotty I love how after all your success you still take time to say hello to your loyal subs. The best!

[Heizenberg]

Loving these deep dives! Bonus for including maybe the best crash course on electric motor fundamentals I've seen. It could be it's own video!

[HydrogenFuelTechnologies]

Been watching you for years...I think you are a great mechanic and you built a YouTube empire. I watch you to learn and always have but never given a thumbs up because I despise the oil industry but you got one today SCOTTY...nice work, probably your best work, you have informed so many more millions of the public to electric automobiles than you realize with this video...I really appreciate what you have done here. If I could give 1000 likes and shake your hand I would...thank you for publishing this information to your audience...

I have two lower tech V8 powered Toyota trucks, and no fancy high-tech EV or Hybrid will lure me away from them.

[kensnedegar]

Myself I don't care for electric cars you have a great show Scotty

[johnhinston]

Your reports/documentaries are awesome. So thorough and complete

[mopiktm]

What about A/C? How much battery energy does a/c uses?

[phatgringo.]

I had my doubts as well. I got a deal on a Bolt EV that I couldn't walk away from. $50 a month to wall-charge at home (level1), only maintenance for the initial 100k miles is tires and air filter. Bye-bye ICE, RIP.

Hey Scotty. I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze LS. 140, 000 miles. I bought it brand new with 32 miles. I take care of it. I taught myself how to work on my car and its my first time working on a car in general. I own the GM manuals (4 Big orange books) and they help me along the way. I use 5W-30 oil and all of a sudden, I hear what sounds like the Camshaft Sprockets not getting oil on cold starts for a few seconds. I should change my timing belt anyways BUT, should I take the time in replacing both Intake and exhaust sprockets or forget about it? Sometimes it sounds horrible, other days its not much.

"the average citizen doesn't need a bulletproof truck" - with the way things are going in the world, might have to revise that statement before the end of the year

[BusterKitten]

and what happens when you want to recharge your car and there's rolling electrical blackouts like in California?

[MrPhil]

Given there are many people in the west who live of the grid an electric truck will not work. You have campers and hunter who will be in the mountains for 7 to 10 days. I will stick to a gas engine.

[tyronesart]

Didn't California recently ask people to not charge their electric cars to prevent the grid from failing?

[Pitchpullin]

It was great meeting you yesterday at the restaurant Scotty!

[RadiumD]

One thing to note about larger batteries is they actually charge at a faster rate for more miles charged so you can make it to your destination faster without charging fully between charges.
