rev up your
engines well Tesla is now facing an
owner's lawsuit that claims Tesla
monopolizes vehicle parts and repairs
realized they don't have any actual
dealerships people who ever had a Tesla
and had to get it fixed because of a
wreck or something broke often find they
were waiting months for parts the
hilarious thing is old Elon said he was
going to share his Electric technology
with the world right that was his BS in
the beginning then he finds out that oh
gee you know I'm not going to sue you if
you use any of my information you can't
get all this information to fix the cars
I'm going to keep it all right well now
they're being sued US District Judge
Trina Thompson and San Francisco said
owners could try to prove that Tesla
coerced them into paying high prices and
suffer long waights to get their
vehicles fixed under fear of losing
their warranty coverage if somebody
fixed it somewhere else they'd say oh
you lose your warranty that's against
the law you can't do that that violates
Federal Sherman Antitrust law and from
California's antitrust laws and also the
Moss Magnuson Warranty Act there's all
kinds of laws that they're technically
breaking they're supposed to have
information available for people to fix
it everything's supposed to be above
boards right no they don't do that and
of course one of the big problems is
there's no place to get them repaired
because there's no dealership you buy it
direct from Tesla right so there's no
place in many areas to even get your
Tesla worked on got here in Rhode Island
last month he had to have his Tesla
towed all the way from Portsmouth Rhode
Island to Albany New York to get it
worked on the suit alleges that Tesla
refused to open enough authorized
service centers and designed vehicles
that require Diagnostic and software
updates that only the company itself
could provide they're trying to prove
that there's evidence of a pars monopo
which included restricting original
equipment manufacturers from selling to
anyone other than t Tesla parts that
they made for Tesla even though Tesla
didn't make them they're buying from an
LEM and they're restricting you can't
sell your parts to somebody else you can
only sell it to us so they can market up
of course right and that Tesla sells
parts to Consumers only on limited basis
and they also say Tesla intentionally
degraded repairs and parts jeopardizing
the more profitable business of selling
and leasing Vehicles as you know maybe
you don't know old Elon gets all these
stock options makes a bunch of money
based on the price of the stock if it
stays high he makes a lot of money right
so his whole thing was to make as many
cars as he can to sell as many as he can
but not make any spare parts so big part
goes on your Tesla breaks you you're in
a wreck and it's broken there are no
spares anywhere cuz he's using all of
his parts to make brand new cars so he
can make money selling and leasing them
that's what his business is not fixing
them just selling them too bad if they
break oh well well they can wait they
can sit around waiting forever right so
think about it
you buy something direct then what do
you do when it breaks you're screwed
there's billions of Chinese companies
selling the stuff in the United States
you can buy it direct from them right
you get them from Amazon you can get
them from Alibaba but basically they're
coming direct from China you know what
happens when they break if you've ever
bought one of these things you know they
got no support you can't get spare parts
for them you're pretty much screwed well
it's a little bit difference behind some
$100 piece of Chinese junk and buying a
car that's you know $60 to $100,000
you're going to be a lot matter when you
can't get that fixed in time because oh
we just don't have any spare parts lying
around well if you remember a little
while back Tesla was saying oh no
everybody can use our charges GM for all
these companies well guess what it
doesn't happened yet for example GM EV
owner still can't use Tesla
superchargers they can't plug them in
they don't work for the GM vehicles now
what you got to understand about
electric car Sy electric cars aren't
like plugging in a toaster you're at
home you got a toaster you plug it into
the wall right it works now when you got
an electric car when you get that Tesla
Supercharger and you get that plug and
you plug it into your car they have to
do what's called the computer handshake
the computers in the Tesla charging
system have to talk to the computers in
the car to see this this a car I can
charge how much can I charge is the car
overheating does this stuff mesh up
right it's a very complicated process
done by computers and so many things can
go wrong that your car will not charge
well as it stands today you can't charge
GMS on them because they don't have this
handshake protocol set up yet now they
said they were going to do it spring of
2024 well you know summer's here now it
still doesn't exist since old Elon Musk
fired a bunch of his supercharged people
then hired some of them back and they
promise all kinds of things that never
come to fruition oh all these other
companies can use my stuff now oh gee it
doesn't work right hey his own stuff
doesn't work right what makes anybody
think it's going to work with other
companies too now they say they're in
the final steps of integration but it
still doesn't work and we all know how
that goes you'll get there and it won't
work with yours it won't accept your
credit card or whatever right and then
there's even a subset of electric people
the Tesla people they're M you're not a
Tesla you can't charge here this is a
Tesla Supercharger right I mean the
whole thing is kind of disgusting when
it comes down to it old Elon saying he
was going to share all his electric
technology free to the world to save the
planet once he starts building them and
the superstations he starts restricting
stuff right typical you know I mean this
is a guy that said he's going to have
100,000 of these electric semi trucks
delivering stuff by 2024 well I think
there's 18 of them on the road and those
are breaking down all the time and they
have an actual very short range carrying
a full load you they just promise stuff
that doesn't come to fruition and of
course to make matters worse you use a
Tesla superstation you have to have the
app and we all know what happens with
phone apps half the time they don't work
something goes wrong and you're stuck in
a middle with an electric car trying to
charge it up that won't work Elon
promising stuff that never comes and if
you own an electric car it's a big deal
these are the superchargers that when
you're traveling you can charge your car
up faster with right the whole thing is
Pat Labs or what the government spent
billions and so far they've only made
like five supercharging stations with
those billions of dollars and some of
the government regulations vves are in
the way you can't put them at the rest
stop that's not allowed blah blah blah
blah blah this is why you know want guys
like Elon Musk and the federal
government running our transportation
system they don't know what the heck
they're doing well they've never come
out with real flying cars like an
ajustes but now they climb they have
flying electric
fairies everybody knows if you get a
boat and you put it up in a hydro foil
that's flying up in the air right it's
going to be more efficient here's a
picture of one that's going around now I
don't know if I'd call it a fairy cuz
this particular one only holds nine
passengers you know it's always all this
stuff starts up as a toy for the
rich and yeah okay they got electric
baners oh well they don't pollute like
regular boats do blah blah blah how far
is this stupid thing going to be able to
go right electric motors picking a boat
up in here and zo it across yeah it's
more efficient than a regular boat I'll
give you that and it's using so much
less energy to push itself belong and
yes it will last longer but still it's a
heavy vehicle even with only nine people
in it so now here's what they're using
it for the candala p12 is going
commercial for use as a fairy in
Rivers's lakes around its home Waters in
Stockholm Sweden so they're going have
rivers and lakes for nine rich people to
go from whatever Stockholm to their
country estate on the ocean or on a lake
somewhere
right now this company claims that
they're going to build bigger ones that
hold 100 passengers or more yeah yeah
I'm not holding my breath on that one
how long are the batteries lasting a
stupid thing before it ran out of power
and instead of being a hydrofoil it'll
be a log floating in the water waiting
for somebody to tow it in and if they
are fairies fairies generally have
schedules right the ferry can't leave
for 5 hours cuz we got to recharge these
gigantic batteries in it and of course
there's also a company in guess where
San Francisco it's called navier and
they want to make a commercial fairy
Market with their first model the navier
n30 maybe they could have thought of a
better name but you know it wants to
Fair employees from San Francisco's
outskirts to the downtown area talk
about a limited use thing right cars all
over the place taking people from the
outskirts to San Francisco right like a
fair is going to solve problems how far
is it going to be against their own
employees they always inside jobs
because if they ever opened this crap up
to the public as soon as it failed and
had problems people would say well that
was really a stupid idea right just like
flying cars if they have flying fairies
it's going to be for the rich and famous
or people who work for them so they can
get from the outskirts of San Francisco
downtown to where they either work or I
don't know maybe they mow their lawn or
something Willie G says I have an engine
and it's making a sound it's a Mercury
Sable durch what do you think it
is the noise at that making is pretty
typical for a worn engine now it's an'
05 so that means it's a 19-year-old
vehicle now in order to fix you have to
take the engine apart you might have to
change the lifters you might have to
change the cams I mean the valves could
be worn too that's such an expensive job
if you're not burning much oil the
engine runs okay otherwise runs at the
normal temperature gauge I would just
personally live with it just make sure
you change your engine oil and filter
every 4 or 5,000 miles with full
synthetic oil and good filter and see
how long it last because to rebuild a
modern engine cost a whole bunch of
money and if it still runs okay that's
pretty typical for a Ford to make that
much noise as it ages I mean let's face
the fact to do an engine correctly cost
many many thousands of dollars is it
worth putting in an 05 Mercury Sable of
course not and as long as you keep
maintaining it it runs okay that's
something you're just going to live
with so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos
remember to ring that Bell
