TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Look at the liquor room. This is the most legal movement we've ever had in the fucking state of a car. It's a space behind me. It's a space behind me.

It's fucking expensive. It's coffee. It's coffee. It's coffee.

That record because I just say electric cars beautiful. It's all of my... What do you mean you're listening to the old talk car podcast? Did you still both...

electric touch? No, no, I just... Yeah, I can't. Okay.

We're in a live drive. You can take your... Who has a wallet? It's 2005.

Who has a wallet? It's... It's... I can't...

I've thought that I can leave home. Okay. And I don't need my wallet because I've got... I can't pronounce it.

How do we say this thing? Okay. Well, got a live drive. We've finally got a heads or one.

Now, do we say it in the English version? Because we check with them. Or we can say it the way it's called at its home. I'll say it in English.

You say it in now. No, okay. You can say it in English. Go.

Exping. Exping G6. G6. But apparently it's called a JP.

JP. It sounds European. It sounds European almost. But they've been saved with the...

First impressions? This thing is built beautifully. We did a... We did a stick-a-glee...

I mean, Ross likes to modify things as you all know. So Ross straightaway tried to pick it apart. Test fit parts. You know what?

You said... It's built like a European card. It's built properly. It's built properly.

It's built properly. Like even the little rivets and screws you even went down to... Yeah. Like these in 25s, 25s, 15s.

Look at the leather on the seats. It's immaculate. So the G6, it's the first X-pingo-drone. Like a G6.

Like a G6. I know. Because I'm not as much. Okay.

We've got cup holders. We've got two chargers. We'll run through a few of the stats. So there's basically two models.

Is it on? Yeah, it's on. So it's an EV. It's two specs.

That's a G6. It's pretty much an EV. It's an EV. No, no, no.

You're even back? You can't. Okay. And you had to press the button to get out.

Oh, did you hear that? That's a European card. Yeah. Is there a safety?

Is there a separate thing for the door handle? For the car's accident? I don't know. I haven't found it.

Remember the first time I heard it. The Tesla. No, there's not. You're a screwdriver?

That's not screwed things into the day today. So effectively, it's one great of car. They come fully loaded. We'll get to that.

But there's a short range of the long range. Right. This is the short range. So the short range is about mid-50s and the long range is about 62.

But they've just got everything that's 190 kilo on engine. The range is about... It's pretty good. Yeah.

It's about... This car was 93 kilos. No, man. It's...

It's... It's... We're gonna drive in a minute. I'd take off, but I don't know how to...

Okay. So it's similar to a Tesla. Yeah. It's a Mercedes-Benz.

Well, I had to compare it. Is that where the Tesla thing is there? Yeah. Yeah.

And it's a similar design. So it must be in the car on the left. Yes. Look at the screen.

It's not really 4K. Yeah. It's not really 4K. Yeah.

It's true. The day's like clear up. Like when you put the blinker on the camera. It's probably the camera's...

I know. I saw that. It's one of the far right, the base of the big dollar. It's probably going back.

I don't know where it goes. Should we take a spin? Let's do it. Put it in drive.

She's in drive. Indicator on. Really? Look, I'm gonna be driving this.

Yeah. In a police account. It's like... The range is about 430Ks.

And the range is pretty accurate. You're like, I've had this for a week. And, hey, it is... Economic on the EV word.

There's a take the drive over the way down. Yeah. The Tesla... The Tesla used to drink the Valtress each and whatever.

You call it. Mate, but it's fully loaded. This thing, the thing I like about it, there's a lot of things I like about this car. It's got the little...

It's got the little... It's got the little dash in front of the drive. It's really cool, man. So it's got the little dash...

The wearing, though. Yeah, when you pick up speed, it goes away. I think it must be like for pedestrians. Once you pick up speed, the wearing...

This isn't really beautiful. The wearing goes. It's not an 87% because I'm saying that I just want to get... There's going to be a really good seeker.

You know, you said to wheel people. There's not a rattle. There's not a rattle. It's not a rattle.

It's not a rattle. No, no, you would not know you're in, like, a Chinese mate vehicle, but... They're first vehicle. This is not like the first car in the first car in the car.

The first car in Australia, I'm not sure that they should make cars for other people. But the point I'm making is, normally when the first model ever comes out, one of the first protones or the first protones we could get out of. I'm sure it was a build like this. I think the build call is phenomenal.

I said that when I picked it up, the other day. But just drive it. The actual driving goes all the way on the road. This is a genuinely good car.

It's too early. It even comes up and comes down. No, it's good. I don't know about the technology on the screen.

Yeah, yeah, you could get an IOS update to something. It's an elevated... You call it a design like a hatchback, but it's... You feel high?

It's almost like it. How many ladies at the boot SUV? Do I just catch you up? Yeah, I think it's the...

Do you know what the stats are? Five hundred sixty degrees. He's running back. He's running back.

He's running back. He's running back. I didn't totally... The back.

I can't believe how much... Who do you have that makes sense? Yeah, I've got my jacket in there. There's no hook.

I can't find a hook. Yeah. There's no hook. There's no hook.

I don't know if that's a leap problem because I've got a suit jacket, but... You've got a wallet and suit. That's... Look at all right.

It's almost like a sporty mccarn really. I can't tell you what I like about this car. You tell us. It's not...

Okay, I think the electric cars have gone off. We can be fast. Let's just have blistering acceleration. This is smooth.

This is actually... No, she pedals. That's okay. This is smooth on the...

It doesn't make you sick. It doesn't make you sick. Not to hundred and about six odd seconds. So it's fast enough, but not...

I look at the kitchen in the white. Oh, look at this. I'm going to make you vomit fast. You don't need it.

It's a bit of a... It's a bit of a bad sign up. This is right. Steering was great.

So what are those deering or buttons? Okay, so the right-hand side of it, let's let me get it. Right-hand side is music. Yeah, yeah.

Left-hand side is rocket launchers. Yeah. No. It can be...

I don't know what that left one does. But if you push the button in, if you leave it in, then it controls your arm screens. So you've got your... Look at that.

Yeah, it's just got your different vehicle. You can pass or throw it into the auto car. You can pass or throw it into the auto car. Yeah, it's just touching your performance in the last episode.

How was I? You know what? I reckon that. You'd love yourself.

I'd love it already. You were driving a car with a green when I was driving like a booty. He's out of luck. He's out of luck.

Okay, so you can put in sports mode. Let's play with it. So the screen, the center screen is quite big. It's similar to the Tesla.

It's similar to the Samsung 85 inch. If you're interested in sports. I've got a sport. I was like, what the bad noise?

Do you get my second one? Take a reach. Oh, hang on a second. Yeah.

What's going on there? I said to you to... Everything's happening in mid-res. Okay.

Oh, this is fantastic. I said to you to... You know what I said to you in the week, ring you when you get in the car. When you make a phone call, the person talking to you comes through the headrest.

You ring someone? Wait a minute... You ring someone? And it comes through the headrest.

So when you're driving... Like I was talking to my sister that day. And... Actually, the sound comes out of the headrest.

Yeah. So it's a telephone voice in the headrest. You think there's an electronic version of my sister sending the backseat. It's like she's talking to you from behind.

It's unbelievable. It was weird. So that's putting sport. It's in our own sport.

It's got regenerated break. Oh, yeah. So now I'm going to play with it. I took that off.

So, individual. Okay, so that's off. Alright. So now, does it make any kind of chicken you've got?

Like, chicken chicken. It does work. Yeah, it does work. The dog that I had.

Have you noticed there's already a back of the bad zone on the ground? I reckon if you... Yeah, I feel a little bit of boozer here in this car. What's up with you?

The look boozer. So, have you noticed the difference in sport? I took it off sport. Give me a hit.

Oh, yeah. I mean, dude. I don't know what's the difference. But, you know, I was just standing there.

I was just wondering around. So, I was just wondering around in... No, it's not the camera. It's actually...

It's nighttime. Yeah, it's nighttime. It's all right. You're jumping around everywhere.

Let's just... So, it finishes great. It drives like a normal car. You don't need that next snapping speed to give it around here.

I made some notes and a few little things. So, the rear headrests say any warnings? So, it comes through the headrests. It comes through the headrests.

It's not bad. It sort of grabs your attention. It's actually subtle, but it's like a... It's like a subtle...

It's like a subtle whisper headrest. Yeah, yeah. But you're listening to it. It can hear it.

Well, I think that's an option. Getting slapped with that. I don't know where the camera is at. It's like, you know, the camera's at it.

It comes at you. Next thing, head off. It's all fine. You do that fine.

And that's right. So, these are the few points... ...and I noticed when I had an export mode initially, you'd be fighting along with the steering wheel. So, I pretty much...

The steering wheel is quite comfortable. It's quite a thick steering wheel. It's got a weirding to it. It's got the wide interior.

It's got the wide interior. Like, the seats are comfy. The seats are room for you. The first thing I noticed when I sat down was the seat was comfortable.

It was the first time I've ever gotten into a car and not had to put the seat all the way back. Ever. I'll give it a thumbs up for the fact that it actually knows where we are in the tunnels. The other thing...

No one else does. Look. Yeah, no, no. It's pretty good.

The other thing that I found really impressive is the park assist. So, when park assist... Park assist. Park assist, all right?

So, I find in the boomed up, I've been using park assist in my boomed up. I find... No, just, I always play with it initially, then you don't use it. It's so you get a bit nervous, it takes its time and rolls in.

Where this, you get to pick your parking spot. It realises you're in the parking station. So, as you're driving along, it highlights all the parking spots. And then you press on the screen which parking you want to go to.

And it goes. But without any nerves or fear, it just goes. Yeah, well, we're in the middle of a fucking tunnel. So, we're not going to find a parking spot here.

So, we'll give that a run. That was quite good. Vision, again, it's that EV. Very big wide screen.

Massive wide screen. Yeah, that's the glass panoramic roof. But it's probably because of aerodynamics. The only thing I don't know if you've noticed that the base of the APL is very thick.

You can lose a lot of pedestrians. The way you approach the car, everyone had the Tesla. Everyone used to get confused and get the pass like a mensa tester and get into the Tesla. If you notice that the door handles pop out.

And you just pull it out and it feels solid too. You think it's flimsy. But, you know, if you don't need a degree to get into the car. The only thing I say about this car is you don't need to use me.

Yeah, it lets us get away with the only thing. 60 feels like 40. The other thing I know is you can't see it right. But if you look at the vents, it's got the X-Lote go through it.

So, yeah, it's got some little things like that. So, who built this company? It's called the X-P. Yeah, so, I'm very impressed.

I'll move over to Tesla. For a mid-50s car and a lot of cars for an EV 50s. No. It's a lot of car.

This is got a bit of a push-on. No, no, it doesn't. Well, we said that the low range is about 50s, the high range is about 62. So, not with the listeners word.

That's good value. It's not a check car, but it's not expensive. And it looks stylish there. Now that happened, I've noticed it's got the...

A lot of cars, the new McCarn had this as well. This feature, I think the Hyundai Toyota started it. You've got the LED strip. Yeah.

But the headlights are actually the blocks down the bottom where you think of the spotlights, but they're really the headlights. Where the back's like you're really the other LED strip. And it's got that sporty, hatchy look about. This one's white, the outside.

I've seen a few in grey. And there's that orange one. Look, look, look in. Do we know what this feature does here?

Look how suspension it does here. Look how suspension it does. Yeah, look it up. Can we add coilovers and lor?

I'm sure you would. I reckon it would be this car. Look, look. I think it's going to be a good city.

See it's right. Even for a, like a... It's a good city car. Even for a...

Can you drive on your knees? I'm guessing people have to prove because it's not... It's not Mr. and Farce.

It's not Mr and Farce. It's not like a comfortable drive. It's not like a comfortable drive. It is a comfortable car.

And it keeps the room and everything's well laid out. Everything's well laid out. But is there like a... Is there like a...

Is there like a... Are you going to attach to not driving a car? Driving a car or a... I don't think so.

I think we've sort of moved off of it here. I think the BYD is quite a lot of cruises. I don't think the BYD matches it. And that's where I think they've got to convince people that this is at like a level above.

And how much do they want to do? They stuff about 40 on that. But they just, whatever I've seen the BYD, they just look very generic and... You can see it stands out.

This is a really, really nice car. It really stands out. I'm going to find a parking spot and I'll get you to do the test. Yeah, I'm going to go.

So, back to... So the screen... Oh look, you can see the strings on the sawboard. Yeah, kickers to camera.

Oh, look at that. Oh, look at that. So, yeah, see, he's looking at... What car is that?

Oh, see, see, see me holding a microphone up. But the generic nav's got the... Look, look at that. The green and the yellow.

The thing I'm going to... The thing I don't like about it, I don't know if you've sort of... It feels a bit softy, shootless suspension. Like it's a bit...

I don't think so. I think for what it is. It does its job. Yeah.

I used to really hard. Right car, so. I don't... I think the Chinese are still trying to work out suspension and...

Yeah. Well, the other thing is if... Steering. But if it was a petrol car, it'd be underpowered too.

I thought it would be the EVs. The Chinese are... True. It's up to...

Up to spec if not better with battery technology. Yeah. Where if this had a petrol... Always.

I'll find that every electric car I drive doesn't stop as well as I want to. Is it because they're heavy? I don't know. With this one, it does roll a bit.

But it's got the feature where if you push the brake pedal down, it does the auto stop. Does this have that feature where if I hit the accelerator, I might hit the car in front? Yeah, let's drop here with the taxi driver. Well, at least these go insurance.

Or else you can't have a cab. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't tested the automatic brake... Emergency brake capabilities.

So... It's taken to the casino. So we're at the upper angle. It's just like changing the road.

So we're at the top of this building. This one's in here. Just watch out for the... Let's try and park in between these spots here.

Okay. So they seem to have to be making the noise. So when you're driving at low kilometers, I think it's more... Look.

It's on an expensive brake. How cool is that? It's that one. That's a new one.

That hasn't come out yet. So the one on the right is that dark silver color. I'll talk to that noise really. It goes away.

Yeah, it goes away. It's not going to be too old. No, that Tesla never did any wearing sounds. That's it.

Alright, so... Okay. So you got your left blinker on? It's not doing...

No, you don't want to expand it. Get rid of it. Put it in reverse. Okay.

Alright. So now... It tells you... It tells you...

It's hard like a little lunatic. So it's got... Pick a spot. So pick a spot.

Now hit start on the park. Oh, come on. And watch it go. You're joking.

And it tells you the distance. So now the steering wheel is turning by itself. It's still in your walk-y ear in. It's driving the distance.

Now look, it's changed it. And it's reversing. It's not in the brake. No, no.

How quick is it? So now it's going into the spot you picked. No way. Look how quick and confident it is.

And it's got the centimetres between two and two. Yeah, it tells you everything. That's it done. Parking complete.

What happens if I change the parking spot? I don't know if I go out like this one. We have to go out and find the fucking map again. But see how it...

It thinks the highlucks is a bus. Yeah, it's got that screen too. But I don't think it's going to be so private. You've got to keep parking that day up.

Let's go out and find the parking spot. Let's go back around and pick another one along you. That's pretty fantastic. So we're just turning to a 90 degree parking spot.

So people looking at us going, you're good. So now when you're in a car park, like when I go to work, it picks up the parking spots. And it does the pillars as well. It goes with this appealer.

So I'm guessing you put your blinker on. And then I reckon... Hang on a reverse. Oh, here it is.

Yeah. Here it is. It's a bigger spot. Pick that one.

You need... Okay. Stop. Oh, stop the vehicle.

Pick the spot. That one. If we start. So now it's moving forward.

It's going to go to the right. It's going to be a fault. It's going to be the indicator going left. Yeah, because everyone behind you know, you're grabbing the left.

I'm just taking some for you. Please like this for me. I don't know if you're going to take the same spot. It's taking some spot.

I did too. But for a parking feature, this is phenomenal. This is the best parking feature I've ever used. And it's exactly the same distance to the other car.

Perfect. And it's giving the top view, 360 view. It's giving you all the views. And at no stage, have you checked to see if the wheels are going to scrape, like with the beam belly getting nervous.

The Mercedes F, my 45 scratched the wheel. Oh, I know that part. Yeah, every time. So...

Okay. It's just been the next two hours parking. This is amazing. Oh, I love it.

It is the best parking feature. This is the best parking feature I've ever seen. Yeah. Drive?

Oh. So back to standard. Oh, so now it's great to see you go. Yeah.

Oh, yes. But can't you just look at the lights and stuff the fucking dash. What happens if you're texting? It does people in the car in front of you guys.

So if the car in front of you goes, it bicks. Or like most women women, if you make up anything, you say you're drinking coffee and you're drinking coffee. Then that's when you're next. Okay.

So now we've got a 45 degree angle parking. All right. And there's a free spot. Okay.

All right. Didn't pick the spot. No, no, no, no. Okay.

Didn't pick the lot. Has it picked it up? No. No, it's fine.

It's difficult for a 45 degree parking. Yep. No. So you need, it's got to be 90 degree or parallel.

Didn't pick it up. Wow. Do I not need to go parallel? Yeah.

It's a really tight one. Yeah. There's always a lot in between like two four ranges. Yeah.

So I think by putting you in here, it says I'm looking for a plane. Yeah. So now we'll just slow down. I think you're going to be slower than this.

Now we're going to do a parallel park. Roll forward. Just roll forward. Roll forward.

Okay. Roll forward. When you try to park in here. Then you know how to park.

I know how to park. The car knows how to park. The car thinks you're a fucking lunatic. Okay.

Let's go. Star racing, baby. Go forward. It's not, it's not too easy.

Yeah. Ta-da. Start on that park. Let's go.

I can't believe you don't know how to fucking set up for a parking spot. Oh yeah. I know how to set up a parking spot. The car has to set up an automatic park.

Because the computer's saying you're a fucking idiot. Oh wow. Look at that. Look at that.

Look at that. How fucking good is that? It's got to hit it. Now, it's fixed with steering, puts it in drive.

Look at that. Bang. It needs to be ready. How good is that?

Parking complete. And it's set as the steering wheel. That is phenomenal. Yeah, but we are so far away from the car.

I know. Yeah, but we're also going to be there as well. But hey. How far?

Is that electric car behind us? What is it? Is it the key? Is it the key?

I'll say it right now. It's not the test. So there you have it. I'll rate this as the best parking, reverse parking.

Auto park feature I've ever used. I'll do it too. Shits on the Europeans. Except for the 45 degree parking.

Let's go to a red light. The lights. Okay. Review time.

Thumbs up from there. Two thumbs up. It's like a thumbs up. This is a fantastic car for the money.

I'm going to say this. I didn't have the arty. I'll prove I'm going to lose. It's a cine car.

It's a good car. Mate, alright. I'm shocked. I said the Tay-Kahn was one of the best.

Electric cars. Tay-Kahn can go either back at six because this is my far. I'm failing for money. Yeah, for the most electric car.

You're not going to spend. It's a good car. Mate, alright. I'm shocked.

I said the Tay-Kahn was one of the best. Electric cars. Yeah. For the most electric car.

You're not going to spend a 2020 little Tay-Kahn can win. I'm a 5. You can buy. You can't buy a car.

You can buy a car. You can't buy a car. You can buy a car. I'm going to say I'm going to do it.

I'm going through the Tesla. I loved it. Now that I'm driving other vehicles afterwards. No, they straight.

They'd be straight. Kay-laughter The X-Men committed to the Tesla. A lot of features are still very similar. I felt comfortable driving the X-Men.
