You're gonna leave now? Yeah! How old are we? What else?
How fucking old are we? Welcome, how? So the Mercedes EQ 8 is in the back doors of the toner lock. That's a bit of a toner lock.
No, it's not. How'd I get back in place? No, I'm trying. It's just down the right.
You're gonna get used to these ones. Alright. Good morning, good afternoon. Good evening.
Listen to the old talk car podcast. Another live drive hosted by Peter Onus. It's a power meter. Dry in the driver's seat is Mr Roscoe.
In the rear seat is Mr Helil Mustafa. He's on stage. He's in the car now. He's in the car now.
And we've got a special guest tonight. We've got the captain. Captain Sederis is here. Hey Captain.
That's reverse gear. That's reverse gear. Fuck it to me. Okay.
Why would I let him drive? Alright. We're inside a Mercedes EQ 8. It's our electric Mercedes based on the GLA sort of chassis.
It's a bit different on the outside. It's got the LED lights. It's quite room here, you guys are the back. The bonnet.
You open the bonnet. It's not an engine. It's pipes and ships. It's a battery.
It's not an engine. It is all a drive. It's not an engine. It's not an engine.
The tram has this destination. It doesn't make a tram sound. It doesn't have a stupid old sound either. I don't think we should be getting sick.
It's got pedals. The other car didn't have pedals. If we get excited, try changing gears like the pedal. The controls your regeneration.
The BMW had gearboxing drive and then you put it to B where the sport used to take the remote control car. Is it a gear using this thing? No. It's a gear on region.
You don't need to drive off-foot. Cars need to use themselves and now they brake for themselves as well. Basically people know that if you're using the throttle, it applies the brake. You're using the regen.
We're using two feet foot. I'm going to fight out. If you want to use two feet to drive, you might as well be an Uber driver. We're not vomiting from acceleration.
We're vomiting from the fucking G-forces. You're trying to burn out. No, let's try. You're trying?
My wife wants to know why people still give us cars. Do you guys do it? We're not putting shit out. We're trying to do it.
We're leaving the middle. All the emissions from these car won't drink manufacturing. I had a good question the other day. I had a good question the other day.
What happens when these cars and the batteries need to be put to rest? What happens to your car when it's 15 years old? It's going to be put to rest. If you want petrol car in 10 years, if it's a mechanical car, I could drive this every day.
I could drive this every day. This is good. There isn't eight-year-old cars in the engine. True.
I'm trying to drive over the engine. The engine is done a pretty good job of doing that. Maybe the land driver is the new Tesla driver. They're like gearing everyone up.
They're like gearing everyone up for electric cars. They should break down or you need to charge it or you need to go and change the engine. What are the people that reckon it's going to be worth it? Well, Tesla, we're Tesla.
I think it was between 8 and 13,000. What's the car going to be worth it? This is probably eight years time. It's actually really a luxury SUV.
It's a lot of presses on the road that haven't changed the battery. What's this worth? $80,000 on the road? If you want to do it?
If you want to do it, it's a lot of money. Look what you get. It's a fully loaded and a class of electric motor. Those are familiar with Mercedes.
It's your twin cockpit. It's got your LED discal lights fucking everywhere. That's why I like it. It's got the gear stick lever on the steering, which you want to get used to.
It's got the gear stick lever on the steering. It's got the gear stick lever on the steering. It's got the gear stick lever on the steering. It's like the normal gear stick lever on the steering.
It's all Mercedes. Any of the Mercedes have the gear stick lever. That's just not one. No, no.
Because I think you see class on my A45, you see that. You know what? The thing with Mercedes is they didn't go away from what works. So their customers can move from the petrol model.
So why don't they make their six seaters and have a bench seat across the front? That'd be cool. What are we? Greenback the bench seat.
Greenback the front. It's fucking easy. It's cool. How's the headbangs going to go off the bench seat?
They put their back in the screen. Oh, they're off. It's got the plate on the screen. It's still got the back.
I don't know. Give me the second. You need to go. Yeah.
The side-to-ticket is listening to this next week. I like to the fuck's going off on this. This is unacceptable. This is unacceptable.
You've got a dynamic switch there. Press it. Press it. Press it.
Press it. That's a sport. That's a sport. That's a sport.
It's a sport. It's a sport. It's a sport. You can hit that.
So now you're a bit more quicker and more alert. You get to the maker's drive. It's not 107 on seconds, but it feels quicker than that. The torque is instant.
There's four of us in here. It's adequate. With the i4, you take off not to 103.5 seconds. You'll do that for the first four days.
What's the right to expect? I picked it up. It was fully 180 kilometres. You can give your charter.
two of them, 380 kilometres. So you can give you a charger? Yeah, and it comes with three years free on the Fox network. So obviously you don't want to go.
No, no, there's a, one of the networks charging companies for Fox. Oh, oh, and you get three years. And if you hit the nail, you just don't leave. It's always away from your house.
Yeah, well I hit the nail, but it says nearest charging station. And then all six kilometres away from where we are because we're in the fucking shilloff. The thing is, if you have, if you have, the people that are buying these cars, is it a fast charge? Yeah, they've got the big cables.
It's going on there, charge it. So, follow, go. Right. So remember, most of the truck, like Road's Waterside, for example, it's got complimentary charging.
Yeah, right. All the electric charging's got this parking. Yeah, and then you're the front door. No, it's second base, the same as the ones.
But if you would disable the electric car, you're in a car. Oh, you're a fucker. That's where the wind up. So that's the thing here.
If you reasonably well organised, you're going to do your groceries. Right? Parking car, top up the charging station. You're probably right for the rest of the way.
JLR. Origin. Origin. Origin.
That's 4.7 corners away. JLR. Let's take the Mercedes into the Jaguar. That might be open.
That's the first one. Where are we? Go down there. Anyway, it's part of our Mexico Road trip nine minutes away.
Suggested it. Think of electric cars, Pete. Yes. I saw the new BMW 7 Series.
Oh, I love it. Not the ugly one. Not the I7 one. I said whatever it is, but you know what it reminded me of?
Remember in the original RoboCop. I was good to hear it. Yes. It's like the 6,000-issue X.
Yeah, whatever it was. Future has happened. Future has happened. BMW went, you know what?
It's high time. They should have been cars. They come back. Or fruit.
The 6,000-issue X, and they also had a shitty Ford-Torres Cop cars. Yeah, that was rubber cars. That was a rubber car. That was a bad Ford-Torres Cop cars in States.
Yeah, that was a good guy. That was an early guy. You just wave and smile. Put your plate on.
Oh, really? I love it. He's electric. Well, it's will, Bill.
And what did you think of the power? That was enough power. Yeah, there was enough power. It's adequate.
It's not. He's a good daily drive. GTI. I pay for you reckon?
It's killer GTI. It's killer GTI. It's got that. It's something about now driving electric cars.
You said it didn't. You got convinced last time and now you're there. I knew today. I'm close.
I don't know. EQ dropping the building. The city's coming the way. Sorry Captain, you were saying?
So you're there yet? Yeah, my next car is electric. But I don't know whether I'm going to go... Just like I fucking do it yet.
Yeah, see, I'm not driving. There's a daily... I thought I'd do it as a daily. And then realise I couldn't because it was a Tesla.
So Captain, I like the i4. I was going to buy a scooter. Electric scooter. Electric scooter.
Yeah, well, it's my wheels. That's all right. Now the i4, i thought the i4 would do it for me. But for the money, no.
Where this little thing... It's what? Half the price. Half the price.
You buy this over the bean belly. And you'll go... Sorry. No, it still does everything in the box.
It's got enough room. I don't know if the driving position is enough space. I mean, you're in your normal driving position. No, not really.
I'm coming back in the middle. No, you couldn't. I'm okay. I didn't want to come.
I didn't want to come. Yeah, but that's part of the test. We've got to see if you... That's how I tell a you Ross, you're about 6'2".
Yeah, I'm 6'4". You're about 6'4". You're about 6'4". I'm 6'4.
I'm 5'10". But you know what? I'm 6'4". I'm 4'4".
I'm 4'4". I thought the paint's still on my leg. But we're still comfortable. I'm looking for the acoustic.
But that's... No, my wife's car. The A35, I feel narrow and cramped in it. And I feel the same in this.
But this is a great car. It's quite... It's quite... But I think they've been ugly on the outside.
They look like... Well, it's a little bit different to the GLA. It's got the LED stripe across. If you're familiar with EGC, and they've got the LED stripe across the back as well.
Yeah. I must have been... The gerry cells in this. It's pretty good.
Not the old cheap Vada. It's got wireless charging. It's got half a play. It's got a car play.
It breaks for you. That's good. So you're playing with the regen. And you've got to power boost me.
So you've got to power boost me. You've got to power boost me. You've got to power boost me. And then when you're regen it...
Oh, fuck. We are going to buy it. It goes last week. Look at that's two days.
And you're going to give me one. Now I have to put your next mode. Who? Oh, since I put it in sport mode.
It's a smart mode. But if you break, and accelerate the same time. It sounds like we're electric. This is like when you give the special kid the ball.
Did they give it to you very often? No! Fuck, I have to trick that. I'm not going to.
Come on. He's not allowed to get out for his ball with you. He's going to break again. It's good.
Does it self? I'm sure. He's fine with the guy. He's like me either.
If you take your foot off the accelerator, it just pulls back. Yeah. It's right. You've got to learn to...
You've got to learn to... Yeah. You've got to learn to... They've got to touch a break middle again.
Yeah. That's not good for people that need to use a break middle. Fuck. Maybe some people drive.
Maybe get close enough. It's going to slip right on anyone. Do you get a bit of range highway driving on this? No.
It doesn't matter. Would you not regen? So when you do city driving, you're regen. This is the ultimate city car.
It is. It's a city that you're getting a bit of charge. If I'm going to drive this thing for Melbourne, I've got to charge this. You've got to stop it.
Yeah. No, I'm even 300k. It's a straight up. Oh, I'm not a little trick.
You just remind me Captain. All right. So let me just show you something here. Keep it in the pants.
No, no, no. That's not what I was trying to show you. Like, does this do what the people do? No, no, no, no.
Don't do that. Shut up. I'm going to help you. I'm going to help you.
Touch it and see if it goes away and that didn't go away. It's deleted. Oh, yeah. Okay.
So see how I'm making the screen. So that circle? That shows you your range. No.
Yes. That's cool. How far can we go? So what we've done?
We've got past camera. We can go to snow. And if maintenance bay you can come out into the water for about 10 kilometers. So basically we just.
That's good. So that's where I always understand what's where my pants are up. The GPS. If you put it to the size of 300 kilometer.
Like say if you can see Sydney and Canberra on the same screen. It's got like a green glow which shows you your range if you were to drive long distance. So a captain if you want to drive the Melbourne you'd probably get to Canberra in one charge from Sydney and Canberra. And recharge.
So. That's cool. Yeah. It is functional.
You don't drive the Melbourne that often? No. Even with electric cars probably checking a flider if you can advance. This touch pad on the steering was really good.
It's got like a thumb. There's like a tool. The other one doesn't right screen. So it's just an analyst that someone's never driven a seat before.
No, no. So. A display. I'm never driven a seat before.
I have. But not a good one. Yeah. So basically.
Yeah. So that tells you I've got 310 Ks. That's one straight road. Straight road.
That's right. So we're all going left. We're kind of charged though. Fantastic.
You like it. I don't like to say anything else. You watch the road. I'm like.
It's not a Tesla. We don't know what I bought. Mark, Mark, I'm not looking true. I can get you.
I can get you. I'm not. No. Oh, you can.
The stuff. Ooh, sports mode. That's good. Progressive Dashboard.
I've seen you put it. I'm going to hang out with it. That's it. It's coming again.
Go. Alright, we'll be back in a minute. Back in all day on her piece was talking about texting on the phone at Eadie and Gsbury at the same time. Yeah, but at now.
CV 68, 8 days. Yeah, it's probably listening to us too. It's not that bad to go into... It's not that bad, see?
It's not that bad. Yeah. And you want to downshift this one? No, you can't.
You just read it. Where's the charging station mate? Hey, there's a Tesla that's out there. That's a good thing about this car.
I'm back to driving SUVs. You don't have to give a shit about the models. Where we crack the rear-view. Well, it's a CV.
What is it? Go straight. Go to the middle lane. Okay, so, does that cross over?
No, it's a cross. What do you call it? It's a sport activity, I don't know. It's not a high-rate or low-rate.
I thought this was like an A-class. Yeah, but it's cool. That's actually pretty low. Now the thing that drops back to gear.
The region. So, use the paddle shift to go down. I'm trying to get some more points on my charging. Take a game.
I actually like it. Do you like to drive? No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
We'll get a little bit of a launch. Just a little bit of a launch. Full screen. Full screen.
Alright. That's it. That's the very exciting. Oh, wait.
Yeah, it's a little bit. We found that last time. Do you want me to take this on the skateboard ramp? Skateboard ramp.
Skateboard ramp monster skateboard ramp. Do you want me to do this up and down? Yeah. You ready?
No, where's the charging station? Okay. No, it is. Hey, no, it is.
Don't change lanes. You should turn that. I think it's all right. It's the same as lane.
Oh, God. This one will take us on the next one. Next one. Next one.
Next one. Oh, rookie, I'll start. I'm starting. Here we go.
Next section over here. Okay. Go round the block. Next section.
I guess we get this part out. Oh, you're doing the music. Oh, God. Team brake, Brex falls.
So, you're pushed by the... Oh, the fun police are on, aren't they? When you are here. Except, right, huh?
Yeah, yeah. Let's do a region. Oh, yeah, shit. It's just a breaks-way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, break. I'm just trying to... I'm pushing the brake build to the floor. Oh, is that?
It's just a break to the floor. It's just a break to the board. Yeah, it's calm. Where's the station, turn it down on the right.
Let's go. I think it was outside. Who's got the BMW? Ahhh!
Oh, there's two charges. How did you know what the charger was? What were you doing? For our American, North American, listen, it's doing a U.E.
It's not your mate from school, Paul. It's a U-E. It's doing a U-turn. What's it called in the States?
Hook-turn? Hook-turn? Oh, wait. Yeah, when you accelerate, it's the...
Back to the future, when the... Yes! Yeah, that's it. So the cable on the other side.
Oh, that's it. You can't put it in reverse. What do you mean? How do I do reverse?
Push it up. We need to reverse, Paul. So we've reached the charging point at home, which by legally doing b****. It's a f******t tensile.
But there's two connections. Let's get really close to the phone. Now I'm never charged a car. Are you right?
Is it a universal way? Let's find out. I've never charged a car. Which side is it?
I don't know. It's on this side. What the f****? It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. What the f****? It doesn't matter. What the f****?
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's not ready to drive.
It says... They've left me on my own. I've got two hands. A microphone.
A laptop. What the f****? What the f****? We need an extension cord.
We need an extension cord. Open the boot. Yeah. Hang on.
Is that the right cord? It's extension cord. Wait. What's the extension cord?
Which one do you go first? It's on. Yeah. So we put the cord in...
What the f**** is that? Don't you put that in there? No. Oh, it's a lucky universal.
It's the wrong one. No, no, no. You've met the plug of that into the car. You've met the h***.
You've met the h***. Yes, it does. You've got the h*** in the middle of a barf***. Why don't you put the h*** in the middle of a barf***?
Why don't you put the h*** in there? Aww. Did you put the wrong one? Where did I go?
The other one's on the front of the bed. So, see plug it in there, but you don't have a f**** in there. I got this. I got this.
This is locked a lot. A lot. A lot. You got this.
You got a toolkit. You can't get it out. Hey, don't worry. I got this.
Just move it. Sorry. It's just a bit. Sorry.
It's just a bit. It's just a bit. It's a bit. It's just a bit.
So basically... What have you done? You can't get it out. I want to.
That was lit up before. What was it lit up? That was lit up. It's got me in the cheek bottom.
No, wait, wait. Ross. That one. Yeah.
So this goes into that maybe, and that goes into that. No, no. Like the Tesla, that goes straight into the car. You don't need your own car.
Well, it moves the market. It moves the market. It's a little on-second. Let's have a look.
Look at that. F***ing dumb and dumb. You've got this four of us. That's all.
No. We just found a design for. Right? So they've told us to come here.
No, no, no. These guys take it. So there is some good of these two. Just something like this.
No. You like the Tesla's got cameras. No. No, yeah, yeah.
They tell us what it is. It's like this camera. Just going to look at this camera. It'sSc Gatlin.
Alright. So, I guess. That's one. Well, anyway.
beware. Of that. Si, set your window like that. Alright.
Si, set your window like this one. Be quiet skull. Ye. No.
It will be back in the car. Right. It's like that's just a drawing black thing in the car. There's scheduled a decentEE.
It's the wrong adapter pushing a lot of shit up. I was saying there should be another adapter that comes with the call. We've got to not boost anyway, so that's not the... Yeah, you probably need the extra one to plug into that extension port.
Yeah, we could go to a servo and look for a fucking fuel tank. Alright, back in the car, do you like the logo? Captain? Do you like the logo?
Yeah, I like the logo. So it's got the Mercedes logo. It's pretty nifty. Yeah.
Okay, so now we fully charged? That was a bit of a fail. So I see what Hal was talking about, so then the charge point is on the right side of the car. And in Australia, the gut is on the left side of the car, and the NROMA power station won't reach across.
What a matter of no... What's going on? Obviously, when you switch it off, it starts in. So, because if you went to a shopping center car park, it doesn't matter if it's on the left or the right.
No, you're back to it. But all these curbside ones, they're not even at service stations, you're going to find that they're going to be focused on just plugging it out. The curbs? Yeah, I know.
Then the plug's at the back of the car and your nose is at... No, you do what the Tesla does, it's hard for the deal. Anyway, it's just like waking up and walking around it. It's actually...
It was flashing. I was going to get that chick's car. It was fucking insane. No, it's like he went in and he's charging it.
Alright, so now... You know what? You know what? You're building where I live, right?
It's a new building. And there's a guy with an MG SUV. MG SUV. The Chinese ones.
The hell is the bad. It's electric. No. I think this is pretty such a minute.
I don't think it's a... You never know. But anyway, just for a piece take, we'll all pass that. I unplug it.
You've got to know. The wheels fell off. I don't think in the morning maybe we need to try the thing. No charge.
So they're making an electric MG? Yeah. Yeah, it's a Chinese. That makes me pretty good.
That makes me pretty good. How many? Check it out. Yeah, what?
I think 47 Grandon Road. It's basically around the size of this. Yeah, it's got to say this. But you'll say basically you can go by two of them.
Because one probably always going to be getting repaired on one of the one of the two. You're charging. This is actually quite nice. This is nice.
Yeah, but I don't think it's 80 grand. It's basically around the size of this. It's basically around the size of this. It's probably always going to be getting repaired on one of the one of the one charges.
