I just had a brilliant idea - my first in 74 years. How about Tesla adding a couple of buttons - and here it comes - make them fully programmable. If you want a heater control, you got it. If you want a seat heater button, you got it. If you want to automate the fart sound, you got it. You don't want no stinking buttons - ignore them. Just a thought. Just make the programming really really simple. Pick a function on the control screen, hold it down a couple of seconds and get prompted for which button to perform that function.

Although most of us current EVers don't mind the minimalist approach Tesla has taken, I think a lot of people we're trying to sway towards EVs would actually prefer the more familiar (and arguably safer) button/switch approach for commonly accessed functions. Forgoing the speedometer display above the steering wheel for the Model 3 and Y was, I believe, going a bit too far in that area. Luckily the third party market has stepped up and offered several upgrades for that.

This one's for Sandy, I never have to rotate my tyres on my AWD EV (Tesla Model S) because the wear is totally even. Also I don't know of any 400kW ICE car that can be driven the way I drive mine and still get 50,000km on a set of tyres. Finally I suspect I'm going to get 5 times the break pad life if not more because I tend to use the brakes from 5kph down to zero 90% of the time in fact probably only 3 times in 4-5 days. I got my wife a model 3 and it has one pedal driving and I'd say that's going to be even less brake pad usage. I would also like to add that any nitwit that is trying to advocate for surcharges based on particulates created from tyres and brake pads (actually lower for EV's) must also advocate for removal of all fossil fuel subsidies across the board as well as adding a really healthy pollution surcharge for the entire fossil fuel supply chain. The annual health cost of JUST electricity production in the USA alone from fossil fuels is $886.5 billion. Australia's health costs JUST from coal production is 2.4billion. The list goes on. Yes let's talk about these costs, and make the companies pay like we did for tobacco companies.

Sandy mentioned induction charging, energized roads that wirelessly charge vehicles driving on them. This technology is already in use in a modest, proof of concept stretch of road in Europe. Apparently, little energy is lost in wireless transmission. If this becomes the common way of charging when away from home, vehicles will need far smaller (lighter) battery packs, making each mile cheaper and putting lighter veicles on the road.

It works if you are prepared to put up with something like 50% charging efficiency which I suspect most are not. Unfortunately the poor efficiency is down to hard physics that really would be very difficult to get around. Specifically you need perfect alignment and next to zero air gap. A very high frequency is helpful too. That is why inductive charging might be OK for phones and laptops but is a bad idea for EVs.

Also it can be combined some AI when i in the middle of cleaning snow and it is reasonable to heat window it starts heating window. Also it heats driver seat and start heating up heating system. When you start heating windows too early ice will build up and it may lead total blockage of wipers. Second is button that has also linked to previous and it cleans fog inside. Currently many cars have button that start blow instantly on window at max level but it must be something different since when you have heater not heated enough and AC is not started to kick in then it must not be max level. when Starting pump in air from outside since floors are soaked ain inside air has a lot of moist then it is not reasonable to take max inside air heat it and push on window it adds fog not removes.

06:30 Just a theory of mine, maybe someone with the knowledge could comment: I wonder if current ICE car manufacturers moving to making EVs are sort of artificially inflating their prices by simply taking into account the financial loss that they are planning to incur by not being able to sell a lot of car parts over the years as with ICE cars. Indeed, electric cars are known to require a lot less maintenance over the years, leading to less replacement parts being required and sold.

In my opinion, any function you may need to activate/deactivate whilst driving should be a physical button/switch that you can find and press without looking for it. Which means not touch sensitive, or touch screen. Things like windscreen wipers and HVAC settings shouldn't be in a screen menu. That's asking for trouble.

Yes, I really do worry about the 2030 new ICE car ban if all/most EVs are big and expensive. Smaller and cheaper EVs could persuade the anti-EV mob to 'see the light', stop all the 'EVs are evil' mindset nonsense and get on board a better form of personal transport.

The one BIG argument I hear from folks is “yeah but what do you do if you run out of electricity? If you run out of gas, you just walk to one of the many gas stations and buy gas, rent a gas container, come back and fuel up.” True… BUT… if every BEV could send power out as well as in, EVERY BEV becomes a quick hand out of your trouble. They just need to put a few KWH in you car and you can get to a charger, be it home or DC Fast charging.

Also - electricity is available EVERYWHERE. If you actually run out on the road, it's because you're not paying attention or you're making stupid decisions. Gasoline is only available at gas stations, but EVERWHERE has a plug. Also you could, if you wanted to go offroad, get some solar panels and put together an off-grid charging package so you could charge your vehicle up on the sun and never need to plug into the grid. You can't do that with gas!

@@ColinFox Electricity really isn't available 'EVERYWHERE'. Have you tried going into the countryside or up a mountain, out on a lake/the sea? Or just countries with no grid outside major urban areas, then there isn't even much electricity in villages, although that's improving with solar. But even in the developed world the vast majority of it is not next to power outlets, and a lot of power is only available at quite slow rates from a car-charging POV (a few kW). Even if you restrict that to 'everywhere with a road', it's still not true. Most of most roads in the UK do not have accessible power. There _might_ be a buried or overhead cable somewhere nearby - there often isn't.

Ask those same people why if gas is so easy to find&fill? Does the #1 roadside assistance roll out stay for a motorist running out of gas. 🤔 If gas is everywhere and we have over 110,000+fueling station's here in the U.S. alone. Why do so many people just run out. 😂

I think Sandy is way off on capacitors being the future. He's also wrong about the 4680 cells being "dry", it's still a wet electrolyte but it all gets absorbed. The Dry Battery Electrode, (DBE), coating has nothing to do with the electrolyte or solid state.

Assuming you have solar, you generate during the day. Where's your car battery during the day? Not connected to the solar. If every house has solar, will the grid need the power during the day? There will be excess. So, they will..... Store it? Then, sell it BACK to you in the evening/ overnight. 🤔 You'll get minimal benefit from that solar and minimum benefit from the car battery.
