New cars a she heaps of new models heaps of offers around heaps of finance stuff Ridiculous thing at a hundred I'm bucks a week on a new three series of the minute We're gonna go crazy, but he gets a stick it come off the side Leave that on the new computer off your stuff at home later, but not man only all been of your lens Good some some new stuff x6 arriving to the showroom. We've just been there showing that to Ross just came off the truck Yeah, yeah, you heard about Your car that we don't talk about right let's go talk about that anymore I'm looking at the z4 now for me. That's that's it. It's a look and that's the M40i is absolute weapon It's the market for these cars in Australia is so small You know we only our Is it all is it all before but when you think about it last year in the 9 11 right is currently in this really 511 retail in Australia all of Australia It's it all right 500 with it's 11 11 No, it's not I'm not part of you see you on the right.

Yeah The copy the mic on The Q8 does for anyone's just put a Q8 back at the Q8. It's like my right on It's awesome. Yeah, I saw that last week hot car the lights did she was parking I was gonna ask for a drive-off at a little bit of a let it park it now No, it's not gonna scratch it. Shout out I've just realized when I sold the end of solving three that I was going through the secrets of buttons I hit the button realize there's a button that looks apart Yeah, but the new X5 and I just let this down the way can you can parallel or reverse back So you put your blinker on it will find any of the two you hit the button I'll come on any big which way you want to park before you and the other cool thing the new It's like that I love is the reversing feature I remember the last 50 minutes you drove you can get reverse and hands-off will go back exactly 50 minutes You can't run someone over you More so The day 45 when I had that and most generally the parking light when you do under 30 Ks Yeah, I feel like you came on you took me a while to realize I was passing the parking for 500 Yeah, what's that?

Yeah 45? What's the most easy? It's so many freak cars and running out there in my customer. I don't like them But they're there are what's that long C-class thing?

Every time the stops are dripped lights the back bad pops out Obviously, no, I think that what the other senses is the camera popping out to detect re-collision something that we're in Every time, no, no, no, it's the sense that it's no this is someone talking about lights The bed drops up the camera comes out and it'll be a re-collision Look the car stops, no, no. I was on her which rivals behind this car on the way here, and it was like we were in slow moving traffic I lose for a ticket. So Brad we've been traveling I had a little while ago now But was fortunate enough to move off to HQ in Munich Not a conference we had a big it was an educational two. We had what do we have ten days over there over there, not today, it's very good, it's over there.

The factory did the VMWelp, which is just incredible, this is this phenomenal sort of museum looking joint where they have all of the current range, huge lifestyles store, M representation, Rolls Royce representation, really? It's just, it's not the roof of the logo? Like it's like a silver bowl, it's got the other room. Yeah, you've got the four cylinder building, the famous one from the seventies.

What's that building? That's offices, that's VMW. So I'm actually down, office, yeah. That's where the work happens.

That's where the rule designs, the guinea girl. Then you've got all the different design places, separate from the four cylinder. Then in front of the four cylinder, you've got the VMWel museum, which was just the best thing. What was the ultimate case on it?

Elvis's 507. Oh, right, right, okay. So excellent story with this, the car's black now, but when it was on tour, when he had it, it was in America, was it in America? Sorry, no, it was in England.

The car was white, and every time it came out of his hotel in the morning, they'd be car-ed with lipstick. So all the girls would kiss the car constantly, and the car would be like red every day. We'd kiss us from fans, I was white, 507. So we had a car in it, and they had a black, so considered it.

And it was a barn find, it was a weed find, someone in Germany ended up with it. In a barn find, bought by VMWel for an undisclosed sun. Oh, wow. It's just, and they put it back to work.

Perfect, it is just beautiful. I just, that car, it's just ridiculous. Like, it's like, it's like, you're never, you're lucky to see one in your life, and just, you know, beautiful. So he had birds kissing it?

So a bird shill on my car. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. the show was, I think it was fantastic. I like it. I like it.

I like it. You look at one of the things that you saw in the first show. It's not in the middle. One of the things that he's been attracted to is with manufacturers at the moment.

He's everyone who's going to his needle brown saying the same looking things. I think it's excellent to have some polarizing design. You know, and be that you clearly see the new accept. You just got over bangles.

Wasn't bangles enough? I mean, it was a castle. Look at bangles. The five series of two was 15 years ahead of him.

It was too far ahead. They let him go a bit too extremely. And he's causing the design of the A.U. Falcon.

He was just... He's like a driver. I'm just trying to drive his hands. I'm just trying to drive his hands.

I'm just trying to get him. But now I think it's good to have that polarizing difference with design. You know, it's just some people will hate it. No problem.

Some people will love it. Good. Look, when the X-7 came out, you looked at those photos. No, it's only days.

It's got presents on the road. What is that? It is. It's got pretty things on the road now.

You see them in the kissing ride line. Mate, they're hot. The X-7 is, if you want to move people around, it's a nice one. Yeah.

So you went for training. What'd you learn, mate? Well, we did the mini design experience, which was really fascinating to do. It was on the next one.

Sorry, you designed the next one? Yeah. It's good. It's good.

I think the public of that could give you the 9-1. It's going to be a good one. Look, that was really interesting to look at the history of mini, particularly from a marketing site, is it had a reposition of brand and all of this and stuff. We did an excellent day of driving.

We've got to have an airport facility where they do this sort of advanced drive. They're doing lots of their driving stuff. We did 4.30 coupe-hays, most of the cars. Oh, 30.

Yeah, 4.30. Yeah, 4.30. 2.30. 2.40 is a nice car.

4.30 coupe-h. I was blown away. We did the Brisbane, the one from the first day. We did the truck tractor.

We were all some of the cars. We were all some of the cars. Some 90-year-olds. Some of the cars.

Yeah, he was like 85. He goes, turn the truck and gets off. And then he goes, hold on. Put your helmets on.

Hell, but he didn't have a sack. He was like, this guy's a just. I feel like I thought I was pushing him. I thought I was out.

He was pushing him. He's going to be faster. Then when he did the last lap with him in the M3, he was almost drifting with one hand. And just telling us.

And having a conversation. Yeah. Well, that was the cool thing. We did a lesson in drifting, which was just fabulous.

The car we were in the car with the technology on. And you take one off. And you take another one. And you take another one.

It was a really good. It was really good. It gets me started where you got nothing on and you put the hood in the car. It completely steps.

And you're wondering how to. And after a long time, you got a different dance. Almost a few years later. It was just a long time.

I did a similar thing. I did a similar thing. But they took the car out. What we did is put the bike on and it was, yeah.

They took it out. We used mine as a chicant. We used it. You got it sure I see.

I'm ready to pull the bike out. But when you turn it off slightly, you think what the fuck I didn't touch. How they race in Bathurst in those algal grounds with no brakes, no brakes. And there's walls around the street.

It's crazy. It's like it's crazy. We tie it at 34 years old, like the technology ties as well. If you say this to Robert, no, no, no, but the compounds and the tread design, it's the bike computer.

That's generally someone who's in tyres and he was saying that he's... ...and the band goes with actually really busy. A lot of new tyres are coming out, so soft and compound. They're having to change the trajectory quickly.

You guys, we've got people coming in at 6,000,000. I mean, forgive that I'm a sales issue that they've got. But he says I've got some, you know, mum's driving, whatever. GLE, he's just coming in and getting new tyres.

Some of these cars are rolling on in front of them. No, no, no. It's no different to racing tyres, right? You know, you put the supers, but he softens on whatever.

And lastly, you put your home on different compounds. You know, I mean, we see... ...my scour would be 60,000 car units, not halfway through a set of tyres yet on a disco. But, you know, you can change through a set of tyres in...

I think I've got plenty of tyres on my own, brother. We could talk about the tyres, Gary. He didn't actually move very far, but he didn't move. So, do you visit any other little sites here on that?

We did. We had lots of schnitzel that was always found. The very substantial stimes, lots of the taillens. Markets in Munich are fabulous.

You know, you look at those sort of older world markets. It's not like any of the markets and friendships. It's not these proper artisans making... What's hard to use?

A much? I did. My honeymoon, long time ago. In Germany, the Munich and all that.

And Christmas market. Yeah, it's the Christmas market. You look at the... You know, Australian.

Everything's just getting... They've got that main plaza with a massive cuckoo clock that's... Yeah, yeah. The Christmas market.

Huge watch boot ticks everywhere. Not on the other things I wanted to buy. Do you see the factory tour? Did you guys have the factory?

Yeah, you went through the factory. I've got the audette by a very large general woman. What was it? Oh, really?

Very secretive. She got three hundred with me. I took a photo of the series. Three-star, three-star, three-star, three-star.

Oh, well, the line in Munich produces every model. So, it's not like the old where you have one factory built three, one-dives or five. The line is set up to build anything at any time. So, you have a chassis coming through for three-series.

Then you'll have, you know, really interesting. And the engines match up, they come from... What is done, got me in the right time? It's actually unbelievable to watch how the production will work.

How much is done by hand? Very little. Very little. I did a factory tour unit in 93.

Yeah. And the E33 series. No, no, E36 was coming down the line. And it was...

It was going up to the other side. Yes, the gust are by does on the floor. On the unions. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll do the B. Building a three-series. Yeah, is that one? And I'll show the engines meeting up and coming around.

Did they build the end cars in a different factory? Yes, so you've got your engines built in a different factory? Yeah, it was assembled. And did assembled in...

No, the different factory tour were in a minute. It was quite like a little bit too far. Not like that close. I think it's a couple of suburbs over there.

We're on the outer part, so I've got to get to my view train. So, watching one of those mega factories... It wasn't, it was something. It was something.

And they literally had this main factory model to deal with assembly. And there was like road going through... Yeah, yeah, yeah. They would go under the road.

They'd send the motor under the road. Yeah, yeah. I remember the Audi factories. The last one of the road was some English stuff for them.

And this was 2000. It was the Audi factory. And the TTs are built in Austria. Those were the first TTs.

But they were on a train and the cars had come back full. You know, within that factory in English start you had... This was pre-SUBB stuff. So, they were on OSUBB, which was a day for A6.

Had a separate facility for A8 because it was aluminium only. And this whole building just for the old D3A. It was like top secret, no one could go in there. So, no, no, no.

I'll point it out. Well, the other stuff, well, they could go three years. So, you know, high volume on it. Yeah, they were shot at the paint shop.

I see what they said. They were really wise. They were back at the time. This was early 90s.

They wouldn't go to sleep. Like everyone's very, very secret. So, if I wanted... So, are all the...

so the X cars are built in the US, right? Uh, except for the interest they still will build you. Okay. So, the different cars are built?

So, your cars aren't from Germany? Yeah. How could they do that? They're Germans?

Yeah, they know how to do it. But it's incredible. I was thinking that the other day, I was just looking at American cars in general. And you think, yeah, they really aren't that great.

They really aren't built that great. They're really good cars. Yeah. But then you've got manufacturer like BMW, who's building their cars in America with the same stuff and the same everything.

So, you know, it's such a credit to the engineers that actually go, this is how we can give you all the go, get a car to build cars and build a brilliant car that doesn't have a squeak or a rat in it. Well, Spiderbird was a factory built by BMW for the ground up, they purposely built it. Look, BMW don't know. Well, yeah.

Mercedes, when the W-2O3 was out, they were building their W-2O3 in... It's a different car? It's a different car. Oh, terrible.

Remember, I had to do the same thing with the Air Force for a while. You're shocking. Like, no, it's out for us. BMW still do it with three series, I think.

Where's the three series? I think so. But it's the same as that, you set it up right and you get the engineering right, you end up putting it in the same stuff. It's like you were brandon chicken, one, you make somewhere else.

It's like you set it up right. Brilliant. I remember it again in the early 90s, they tested the South African model with the three series signature that came out in the E36. That was a four-door, fully loaded, and that was South African built with the other ones were German.

Yeah, okay. Big difference? I don't know. I just remember they came from there.

I know that I... It was a huge thing about South African built. Well, I would say, that's all I would say, I was a C-classer, but that wasn't South African built? The golf, the GDI, the GDI, two doors, German built.

That's why Roman was buying the GIs. I thought the two screws I joined. Where did he go? I was making a six-year-old.

Where did you know they were making a handbag? They were making a six-year-old. They were making a six-year-old. What is it?

We got a door. We got the door there. We got the front of the wrist. They were making a six-year-old.

But I'm always impressed with the showrooms made us speak. In the last couple of years, I'm a bit of B.W.C.C. But here at North Shore. I'm a little more interested in a level.

Yeah, but they've done it really well. How do those LED lights stay on? Well, that's a bit of a thing. Can I park my car in the middle of West Shore?

You're going to get a trickle charger. If you're knowing batteries and these things, a couple of grand to go run down. So when you have a car go flat on the showroom floor, it's very costly. So all of the cars are all plugged in, and there's this very cool little coat that we know called Sherry Mode that demos on the van.

Is there a special plug? Just an all plug in the floor that underneath the floor, you'll have the transformer and then just you'll be able to plug in from the floor. But this is the Sherry Code. Do you have to run your tail?

Yeah, is this pretty complicated? We can do a few groovy things. But it all disappears in time. So it's done forever and nothing that is more exciting than actually having itself.

So the demos are called to run through. You'll navigation things and heads up lights on the acceleration and stuff with digital dashes and keeps the lights on to the lookroom. And I know it could be a joke. Correct me or not.

But I know we pause when they come in off the boats when they've still got their car going on the stickers. They're sitting in like a delivery mode. Yeah, no, they're pretty much every manufacturer. So the cars all come in, they're usually sprayed underneath.

We're just waiting out what the delivery is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a quick situation. Geez, I thought they charged me for nothing.

We've solved the mystery. Yeah, it's not just a quick question. No, no, no, just have people to things off and put the floor mats in. So the cars will have their be waxed underneath the car.

So do waxing and it's pretty full on. It's a little bit different in the technology now that if you think back 10 years, you often get a new car and you might get a bit of a need to drive to the last. So the wax underneath stops the thrust? Well, they're on the boat in the container.

So they're all being too dramatic. I don't know. Chops in all the suspensions. So this usually graces on the front suspensions that hold everything up.

It's like a little claw that's in the springs. Then you'll have everything in, not quite a limp mode, like if the cars, you know, have a breakdown, etc. but they won't be probably set up until they're pre-livered, which is playing a computer, do you full diagnostic full of crime off it? It's not a two-minute job.

You think the cars sit on a boat, come from a long way through rough oceans and all sorts of stuff? They need to be all set up and established when they get you before they get it in your home. It's interesting, I just thought. Although it was just like the plastic, the white stone.

No, it was from the Porsche, the same same. But the amount of plastic that cars come covered in, like, oh, yeah. I saw that like a little bit of the micare. They sort of wheeled out this black thing with white stone.

Like a place pack. The white plastic. And the door within the door handle had car. It was almost like opening a new toy to get in the car.

No, no, no, no. But the ribbon was on. He didn't pay to do it. No, they put a piece of it.

Let me save the plug, get a little bit of it. They put a big ribbon on it. They put a big ribbon on it. And I stood a phone.

You guys are standing a phone. I don't know. Isn't it funny? Like, I...

You had my name on it. Look, the name's nice. You're taking your look at the bow thing. You took a photo.

If you got your car, I said, you have a picture of the bow. The car would have bought it. Because I had a guy, a guy, a cruise on the end, but the flapping was on the bow and started to crack me. The bow fell off.

He was 15,000 off the boat. Yeah, the bow. It was the boat. It was cut coated.

Yeah, he was. No. You want to keep the bow? You want to keep the bow?

You want to keep the bow? I'll drive it. I'll drive it. I'll drive it.

I'll get some balloons as well. The bow. I'm not sure about that. Do you reuse it?

I'll go to a bow. I'll definitely connect it. You've got the name. Do you do the name?

Yeah, once I've bought a name under the company, I'll give you a nice. The retailer's detail, eh? The company was happy. Yeah.

So, 3 Series doing well? Yeah, phenomenal car. They look good. You see that?

Just one of them. I think they look like a blazer. The backlight. Just the backlight.

If you see a bog stand among a blazer, you just think it's an oblixis. But the front is more. It's like a blazer. It's like a blazer.

It's like a blazer. It talks about the front ends. The front ends with that. The technology that means you're pumping out just on another level.

I've really taken it as a discovery of the X5. I've been driving. I've got one coming for my wife. And, you know, things like it's got its own serial now effectively where you're in the car.

Don't touch anything. You say, hey, B.M.W. I'm a little cold and I'll turn the heater up. Hey, B.M.W.

Take me home. Hey, B.M.W. Do all this stuff. All this stuff.

And she goes, okay. Hey, B.M.D. You've got the least flavor to tomorrow. You can actually get the thing that I haven't done yet.

It's obviously covered in cars. But you can change the prompt that engages the system. So, kind of a workout. You can set it for what's going to be funny enough.

What do you mean? We say, hey, B.M. You can coach it to the spot. What a dumb.

Like, what do you just say? Hey, Kip. Hey, Kip. Yes, Michael.

Yeah, my name's a mine. Yeah. No, but I love it. I just think that all the manufacturers are doing amazing things.

Technology in cars is just going, game busters. The cars that we're driving now, the pace of traffic, are going to be obsolete in three or four years properly. I often say to my customers, particularly, finding them with the guaranteed buy-back stuff that's around it, whichever manufacturer, it's just the best option. Because really, what is a combustion engine, you know, eight cylinder SUV going to be worth in five years time, when the next one is going to have more power, be electric, use a fifth of the fuel energy, and drive itself.

You know, like, we don't know. If you said to be too easy on electric cars, we're going to be so popular, I wouldn't have. I was just a negative order to do it. I know you still look at my car sales and look at a five-year-old particular model that I'm interested in buying now.

And even that's not really a guide anymore. It's not because people, the stuff on car sales is still people that are in trouble, they're trying to get out of their car. Yeah, it's not actual sale price. They've played structure, they're finance wrong.

They've got to pay out, they've got to make it because they're just going to spend a thousand bucks a month and drive an 80-grant car. And they've been doing that on a 60-grant car and not had a problem. So, you know, it's natural enough that people want to fix it, but again, that's what I've got to do. It's the same to say that they use car market for private cars.

No, not really. I mean, everything, the easiest thing to look at, what we look at when customers say, oh, you've got this car, you know, I've found this other one, you know, it's better, it's whatever, and you go, well, we can see the back end of all that. We can see that car's been trying to sell this car for most of years. He's currently only got two people in the whole of the country watching it.

So obviously that tells you that there's something wrong. So you can see the analytics through your car. Our car's been online for 15 days. We've got 400 people who have saved the search.

And we can see that we're obviously at the right level or presenting the car correctly or whatever, compared with that too. And if you look at it when it comes to people's trade-ins, you might say to someone, you know, you know, two-year-old range of sports with 50 grand, and you then say, well, you know, say, I want 80 grand for it. And so, well, these cars are online. I found my cars exactly the same as mine.

It's online and someone's asking 80 grand. You know, look, he's had it online for, you know, half a year. No one's looking at it, because he's too much money. You won't sell it to the guys.

Is that where you go and sell it online? You can, but the customers, I mean, particularly in prestige, what do you want to? I think my name is, honestly, professional people. Nothing worse than some car.

Sorry, but I've done it a couple times. It depends on which end of the market. I love the proper cars. You can get a lot of people that do just type kick and, you know, people end up trading a car in because it is too hard.

Yeah, look, it's all well and good to try to maximize what's going into your pocket. You do the work, you get the return. But selling cars isn't easy. Lots of questions, lots of compliance, lots of stuff.

You know, people are investing big money. They need to pick everything. Oh, you know, have you been on track? Have you done this?

Have you done this? Have you done whatever? Oh, there's a license dealer, and particularly when you've got your own brand. We can even pick one up at the same.

It's been through our workshop. The factory toning technicians, bullsey car, shreds and gorn, we spend every day or another for the manufacturing prospective too, and we know that you're gonna take this car. That's a warranty. And away you go.

Even if the car's out of Newothes car warranty. It's still got like a warranty. Yeah, it's a true number, it costs us slightly. Because, I mean, if someone, that's needed to protect people, they would say someopi's an 8-year-old car.

That's $100,000? It's a $ spectators $180,000 case. We got a requiter at that, that's a techno case. Look how it's the other car?

I'm going to buy a car from a dealer and the engine was up. It's three months or five thousand days. It was possible to fix it. You cut it.

100%. Wow. It says the person has ever bought a ticket. I have.

You think about it? I don't know. I don't know. I want to buy a car.

I think you think about it. That was the brand new. The engine goes. It's too great.

It doesn't matter what the car is. I mean, that's a cheap car. It's a cheap car. It's a cheap car.

So, you know, the protection you get from all that stuff, we do, this is good. It comes at a price. But, man, you know, we have to keep a truckload of money and get all the stuff. You know, and look, it doesn't happen often because we spend a lot of money in our cars.

But when it does happen, it's expensive. You don't just matter what you buy and keep as well. Sure. We can hold somebody off-load it.

You do want the stock because you stock his, your business. So, you know, you do still have to pick your car. He's a rider. He hasn't had the right service history.

He's not even a licensed client to keep it more inclined to just move it on. But, you know, you still take a liability. You've got to give it with DSG boxes on golf. So, whatever it might be.

You've got to transact. You've got to pump and throw it. On your educational. Did they talk about the future?

Okay. So, they do the i3 and the i8. Yep, they were pretty advanced. Yeah.

But, they've sort of stalled or not pushed it or were they too expensive to start with? So, the i3 and the i8 would really, you know, get out there. You know, they can do. They're never going to sell any volumes.

They'll make us money. But, they'll be on the i3. You've got, you can have a hybrid. The i8 has the small engine.

But, the i8 was a top car. Oh, it looks really nice. Yeah. Can you buy the new stuff?

Yeah. Yeah. I'll take it. I'm pretty proud of it.

I'm pretty proud of it. I'm pretty proud of it. I'm pretty proud of it. I'm pretty proud of it.

I'm pretty proud of it. I'm pretty proud of it. Yeah. So, BMW, as a brand, is geared to go down any path with technology.

And I asked exactly this question. One more there. We had a really high level meeting with some designers and product fans. And, so, it's like, hey, you know, take a look.

I'll take a look. I'll take a look. I mean, the old 3.30E in the previous, what was the last model? The 30?

The 30? Which one? The three series? The 30?

So, we had the 3.30E in that, the X5, 4.0E, Miberate, all good cars, but particularly the 3.0E series, I thought was a great car from a driving point of view because it's all like a normal car. Yeah. I'll get one for Follies, 100 cars. So, they said, yes, we get it.

They weren't convinced that the world actually knows what it wants next. Doesn't know if it wants to go down hydrogen, for electric, you know, hybrid stuff. It really doesn't know. It's all about infrastructure.

They're not saying that hydrogen is the future in a verticomos. But we're going to get a couple of them. We're going to fill it up. We're going to make factories to get in and make it happen, right?

All governments. So, they can gear any of their product line up anyway in a very short period of time. They just haven't decided which way to go yet because I don't believe everyone's decided which way to go yet. We have coming X545E.

Really exciting car coming out as an X5. I'll lose a little bit of space, can't I? It was a current car. Yeah, 15.

Yes, there was. Yeah, it was OK. It was always in the last one. It was also quite late into the right.

When did it come out 12? Yeah, 12. No, it's not up for the 15. Sorry, it came out in 16.

15, 16. So, you've got it around in 18. So, you've got it. So, it's 14.

Yeah, it's 14. It's 14. Sure it was. So, yes.

The answer, I think, for BMW is once everyone decides what they want to do. They're ready. I think that they should leave the market on it because they've got all the tech to do it. What they can produce with the engine is all this stuff is fantastic.

So, if I've got the i3 or the i8, because that's what the current is on. What you plug it in? Yeah. Is it interchangeable with other cars?

Yes, the electric plugs that you see in Westfield and all these things that are pretty generic now. I think there's two variants of them and the difference in the variants is the flow. One charges a little bit faster and that's the one that you can use it while you're at home. Yeah.

And then you're more public ones and we've got one out here at the back of the dealership. Yeah. Yeah. Where the Tesla ones are different?

Well, we're trading. So, the Tesla ones are different. They've got their own unique. Yes, but they've got an adapt to them.

I think that's the best way to do it. Oh, really? I think I'm not quite. Sorry, just go back.

You run your car. What's the question? I don't know. You pre-pay your thing like a fuel car and you can just use it as well.

It's probably wrong on subscriptions. Yeah. It's just a fuel. It's a pain in the ass.

If I run out of fuel, I'll go and serve all of that. It was a lot of your data petrol, really. Never. That was good.

That was good. That was good. That was good. If you have any time I go to work on shit, you've got to plug my phone in and then plug the...

We can't just have an electric car. It's really not for you there. Yeah, sorry, I'm not buying it. I can't cut.

I'm so sorry. You've got to figure out let's think about wireless charging but not for my phones. It's just kind of kicking off. It's still not perfect.

I've still got to take the cover off my iPhone for it to work on my laptop while I'm charging back, but if it's in it you're going to have the arages and be fitted with just the pad. You'll have the car there and leave something up and charge a thing you might even make. You'll have one at home and one at work. It'll become the normal sort of tech.

Interchangeable batteries going forward. it's really good to be buying it. Well, batteries and rigs, I just use it when everything... I don't know, like those guys just go back and back them in.

The way you go. So, look, I think electric cars really... You've mastered. Man, if you watch the footage of Tesla Road, it's the thing doing not done in 2.2 seconds or whatever it is.

Tesla's a duty work car. Man, there's this little video of this, like, on YouTube that gets him and puts his foot down. And it looks like everything's being passed forward. Like, it just blows your mind, as to how, instead of the torque, it's...

Yeah, it's in the Tesla car. I think they're special. How good to Tesla truck. Okay?

We had a talk about that. We had a talk about that. We threw the ball. That is from Rhendys.

The guy's got 260,000 pre-watters. That's all you should. That's a period of scheme. That's, I don't know, but I should have got my daughter's to be the designer for Tesla.

That was absolutely horrendous, I can't. She loved it, but he's the author of the Open Speaks. He's watching it. And then, through the mindset of how that makes him work.

So, is that there? I think another fly. You can slice pedestrians with that car. Think you watched the world on Peter duff?

There was an electric car. There's an electric charger in Northern Territory. The Ford charging, the Tesla, the charging station. The friend of mine's got one of their wondering, is that the bike car?

And how did it come? Just like you, Tesla. Tesla's all fine if I don't have the personal information. There's a Tesla charger.

A little lower. A little lower, behind it, is a massive, it's a bit, it's powered by a bit. A bit of car. Oh, you kidding?

No. Just so they can say they've got what I see. There's an emergency overseas. So, a gas-powered van.

Yeah. These are generated to charge an electric car. If you run out of petrol. That makes sense.

And here's where I think the hybrid thing, you know, get there. But the hybrid thing is the next step, right? You know, something that's got a secret car to range in a car. And it's got a small petrol engine that'll help you.

If something gets better. Oh, okay. That can handle it. But that's the half-line.

That's the half-line. Until I get into it. So, let's go back and say, parallel doors, sliding doors, whatever. In the 1900s, there was electric cars 50% with a total of budget.
