Now imagine you missed a payment on your car note and your self driven car repossess itself from your home and drives to the dealership.

Fun to see these moments in time and how poorly some statements have aged. Tesla found their footing and took off like a rocket. Lutz failed to get GM on the right track and GM continues to struggle. In 2025, would love to see 60 minutes revisit many of these people. Obviously, some are no longer alive. The one expert said 2025 is an important year. Let us see.

I’m just back from a short trip to China. There EV cars look amazing. Sitting in one and looking at the features they look like ultra high end vehicles.

Imagine you haven’t pay your packing ticket, you have a warrant, you behind on child support and the car says, well I’m gonna take you to the nearest police station 😂😂😂😂😂

Notice they said nothing about Teslas self driving capabilities! They’re doing it the best right now despite hiccups. They been doing it for the longest time so far! Tesla is so far ahead of everybody it’s laughable to see these companies playing catch-up! The hate is real!!!!

Mr. Dunn predicted China would be able to make 5 million EV cars in 2025. But this has been achieved in 2022. And the subsidies have generally stopped and the car market is a free market.

🏁Tesla model Y will be the most sold carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023, and year 2024 🏁

Electric cars TALKING TO EACH OTHER could save every life.

Parking assist, Accident prevention, warning you of cars in your blind spot, cruise control with automatic lane stay and speed control, it’s just so convenient to drive now with these features. Super helpful.

So funny watching this. I worked in this studio at one point. I remember Bob very frustrated about Tesla when he realized the Model S was coming with a 300 plus range and him saying, " With all our engineers, how is it a small company can do what we can't". Pretty much an exact quote. That being said, there was nobody better then Bob. Amazing, amazing guy. By the way Tesla stock at that time was about $4 a share.

DANG, Lutz called it like a pro. GM just kept dropping the ball.

[Dive-Bar-Casanova]

I worked all nighters near a hospital. Nurses would get off their all night shift and driving home fall asleep at the wheel in front of our plant and get seriously injured or killed. Accident prevention is so welcome these days.

[richardhamilton-gibbs]

This is now so out of date, but it's interesting to see how the expert commentary from back then was so incredulous about technology. And Bob Lutz was so wrong about everything, out was hilarious.

Shame Sergio died in 2018. Guy was an amazing businessman.

Thanks for the re-watch. I bought a 2011 Volt new in March 2011 and over 12 years later it’s still my daily driver. It’s a little worn around the edges but still on its original high voltage battery and I drive it almost every day. Technically the volt did go on sale in 2010 the last week of December.

China in just few words: New world leader of today 😮

[robertthunberg]

Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded TESLA and they built the first Roadster before Elon Musk invested into the company and later ousted the founders and took over as CEO.

[DrCaptainMorgan]

Pfft! Tamiya has been making amazing electric vehicles since the 1960’s.

[GregMontana]

I enjoyed this self-embarrassing parody while my Tesla Model Y with FSD drove me home.
