Trained by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

It's amazing that he puts out a piece of art per day.

Yeah, I was following him on the X platform FK Twitter But

it was some it was too jarring To charting some of the images.

Thanks for doing this appreciate it Thanks for rolling up in the cyber truck too.

I got a chance to look at it in the factory but that was almost, what was that, like a year and a half ago or so?

Like these images are just, we were talking about it outside, you just can't contextualize them.

It looks so odd that You have to see it in the flesh.

It looks like computer graphics in reality.

Yeah, it's the coolest looking fucking production car that's ever been

1 of the videos we're going to show is just going all full Al Capone.

Just like if Al Capone showed up and emptied the entire magazine of a Tommy gun into the side of the

If you want it, you can make anything bold proof if you want, but the glass has to be very thick for it to be bold proof.

You gotta pull ahead and open the door and get

How far away are you from full like delivering them to people have has anybody gotten them yet?

We've planted our first deliveries next month.

So now it's just testing and fuck it around?

The hard part by far is manufacturing, not designing the car.

So There's just not really a movie about that, but there should be.

So in this sort of the, you know, movies will always be about the sort of inventor who invented the car and then the job is done.

That's invented the object, now the job is done.

Why is it so much harder than making an individual model?

Well, in order to make it affordable, you have to make it at volume.

So you've got to make everything at high rate consistently.

If you tour the production line, you'd have a sense for it.

You've got to have all of the casting machines, all of the stabbing machines as the case may be, the glass machines, the wheels, the tires, everything required from the motor, the battery cells, all of the constituents of the battery cells, all of the silicon that goes in, all of the chips.

The manufacturing is somewhere between 100 and 1, 000 times harder than making a prototype.

And then if you want to say like you want to get from once you reach volume manufacturing, which is insanely difficult, then you want to make the car affordable, it's harder to, say, reduce the cost of the car by 20% than it is to get to volume production in the first place.

So I really cannot emphasize enough how hard production is relative to design.

I'm not saying that design is trivial because you have to have taste and you have to know what to make.

If you don't have a taste and judgment, then your prototype will be bad.

But it is trivial, really, to churn out prototypes.

And it is extremely difficult to build a factory.

And how much more difficult is it to make this, considering the body's made out of steel?

The difficulty of manufacturing is proportionate to the amount of new technology that you have in a car or in the product.

In this case, there's a lot of new technology.

The production line will move as fast as the slowest and least lucky and most foolish part of the entire production line.

And you could say to first approximation, there are 10, 000 things that have to go right, at least, for production to work.

So If you have 9, 999 things that are working and 1 that isn't, that sets the production rate.

In fact, the amazing thing about automobiles was not so much the invention of the automobile, but the invention of the factory, the mass manufacturing.

And for that, Henry Ford deserves a tremendous amount of credit.

In fact, Ford is really responsible for the entire mass manufacturing industry because he actually founded Cadillac, which was the heart of General Motors.

Then it got kicked out and then it started Ford.

Do you know he made 1 of his first cars out of hemp?

a fascinating video of him banging on it with a hammer.

His hemp is bizarrely durable when it's compressed and when they take the fibers, and I don't know what kind of epoxy they use or something to put it all together.

But what it makes with the actual physical form of it is insanely light.

Like fiberglass light, but very, very durable.

Henry Ford is banging on the hood of it with a hammer.

I don't know why they stopped making them out of that.

It depends on configuration, but it's about, I don't know, 7, 000 pounds.

6, there's different versions, but 6, 6, 7, 000 pounds.

It's like similar to, like it's a heavy truck.

Like a Ford F-250 or something like that.

And it, because of all of the metal and the weight and everything like that, But with the engines that you have, it's still, the 0 to 60 is pretty bizarre, right?

Well, aiming to get the 0 to 60 below 3 seconds.

For the, you know, the beast mode version.

That's a, so there's, there's, well, I don't want to give it all away right now, but there are 3 demonstrations.

1 of them people are aware of which is you know emptying a Tommy gun into the side of the car a shotgun 45 and a 9mm and no penetrations.

And that's that comes that way from the factory.

I have a 90 pound compound bow that shoots 520 grain arrows at 300 feet per second.

Yeah, should we send someone to go get it do the demo tonight

Yeah, well, Maybe I'll drive back with an arrow sticking out of my car.

I think if you have a crossbow that's with enough force, a crossbow

crossbow is the bolt, even though it's very fast, it's not going to be nearly as heavy.

But generally, crossbow bolts are considerably lighter.

They're moving at like 400, 500 feet per second.

The thing that matters is kind of the energy per unit area.

So interesting, like a 9-mil or a 45, which is basically sort of a 10mm the the the 45 is they're roughly the same but the 45 actually slightly worse penetration than a 9mm

you know what I just realized I do have some broadheads.

I Do have some broadheads and I have a less powerful bow.

Yeah This could be funny, but I'm just like why does he have an arrow sticking out of his car?

It's a really healthy, good thing to talk about what you're going through with people.

Don't keep it all bottled up and sometimes that can be friends or family, but it also helps to talk to pros and that's where better help comes in.

It's therapy that's totally online, which makes it so easy to get started.

You just fill out a few quick questions and they match you with someone to talk to and if you don't get the right match At first you can switch therapists at any time for free.
