0:00Good day to everyone. Our previous news
0:02episode was completely flooded with
0:04comments asking, "Where's the Porsche?"
0:06Miner showed something there. Tesla
0:08showed a car that just, boom, did a
0:11kickflip, flew into a bump, landed, and
0:13everything was cool, the Roadster. The
0:16whole automotive world is discussing
0:18this, but your news, for some reason,
0:19isn't news, and for some reason only
0:21comes out a week later. Welcome. That's
0:24how we do things here. Bana. The one
0:26that burned down, the electric car that
0:33didn't go well for us. Oh well, who
0:37cares. It's also how we do things here,
0:40we'll figure it out in the process when
0:41we actually talk about the news itself.
0:43But we always record our news on a
0:46specific schedule. And when suddenly,
0:48once a year, something happens in the
0:50automotive world that everyone is truly
0:52interested in—because nobody gives a
0:54damn about basic car topics. Who showed
0:57what from Peugeot, who showed what from
0:59Renault, which factory is having what
1:01problems. Usually, nobody gives a
1:03flying crap. And so, if anything,
1:04people endure those news stories for 3
1:06–4 days anyway. We sometimes even, if
1:07need be, might talk about news in an
1:09episode that's already six months old.
1:10Quite calmly and
1:12>> really
1:13>> Well, yeah,
1:14>> I mean,
1:15>> crazy. You just don't track the news
1:17cycle yourself, so as a viewer, you
1:18don't even notice that we're sometimes
1:20discussing something that's, well, half
1:22a year old. It looks fresh. It looks
1:25like it just happened.
1:26>> Usually news about you
1:28>> not about you. Usually they fly by very
1:30fast, because it's
1:31>> about UAZ.
1:32>> Oh, about UAZ, yes. Well, really, you
1:35can read any news about UAZ, it could
1:37be from this year, or 5 years ago, or
1:3920 years ago, or today—it makes no
1:41difference at all. That's why we, uh,
1:43naturally, follow the news agenda. And,
1:46naturally, we always pick the most
1:48relevant car content. Therefore,
1:50naturally, we are now going to discuss
1:51Vlad's birthday. Yeah. First of all,
1:54it's Vlad's birthday today. Second, for
1:56some reason you said you don't
1:57celebrate birthdays at all.
1:59>> That's true.
1:59>> Why? What for? Well,
2:02>> well, that's a tough question. Just
2:03look, you're comparing it to the fact
2:05that you're a May baby, you have
2:07flowers, everything is cool, everything
2:09is super, right? But I'm dying in
2:11October. What
2:13>> do you mean?
2:14>> Usually, we got lucky with the weather
2:15today. Usually I already have snow on
2:16the ground from time to time, and
2:18you’re still caught in that autumn
2:19vibe.
2:20>> Fair enough. Is New Year's in the
2:21winter too?
2:22>> I love New Year's, but as for birthdays
2:24, I just treat them like any other day.
2:26So you’re a year older, you realize
2:28you're still not who you imagined you'd
2:30be by this age, you get upset, walk
2:32around feeling sad, and then you’re
2:34like: "Party on, come on,
2:37>> throw a bash, do the whole thing."
2:38>> Yeah. Because the next year will just
2:40be even sadder. Go on, answer. Right
2:42now, next year will be the exact same,
2:44only you’ll be even older.
2:45>> Then you think: "Okay, maybe I should
2:47invite everyone to a restaurant, like,
2:49just to sit and relax?" Then you think:
2:52"What for?" And then I’m like, screw
2:54you all, all my friends, damn it.
2:57Because they’re the ones who will
2:58show up. Do I have to put up with you
2:59guys too? Screw you all, seriously.
3:01>> Having to manage things and get
3:03everyone together again—no way.
3:05>> No, what do you mean? You can just
3:06manage your friends a little bit and
3:08say that I want to celebrate my
3:10birthday, but I don't want to do
3:12anything for it. Please just come up
3:13with something yourselves. That’s my
3:15request as a friend, for example.
3:16>> My friends are all single.
3:17>> So what?
3:18>> I’m afraid I’ll end up in a place
3:19where I’ll become single afterwards.
3:21>> Well, okay, you can add that condition,
3:23let’s do it without, you know, what
3:25happened last time.
3:27>> It's just that when you said we’d
3:28discuss this, I thought you had some
3:30real reason why you absolutely have to
3:32celebrate a birthday.
3:33>> No, I think a birthday should be
3:34celebrated. I didn't celebrate it once
3:35in my life. Well, to be more precise, I
3:38had a period when I didn't celebrate,
3:40from like 24 to 27, because that was
3:42just when I moved from Novgorod to
3:43Moscow and I didn't have many friends
3:45here yet. Back in Novgorod, everyone
3:47had sort of drifted apart. I was living
3:49in two cities, traveling back and forth
3:50. So some birthdays were like, I spent
3:52them in a Sapsan train, or somewhere
3:54else. And then, in my more mature years
3:57here in Moscow, I didn't celebrate, I
4:00think, 33 or 34, I missed one. Some
4:03birthday or other. Uh, and I really
4:06didn't like that, just, well, like, you
4:08have to, have to from
4:10>> Well, in short, I don't really care. I
4:11don't know why that is. I have a middle
4:14sister who parties every year, she
4:16likes it. In our family, you take my
4:19father, he always does it every year
4:21like it's his last.
4:24>> He understands something,
4:25>> right? Yeah. And I, apparently, just
4:27take after my mom in our family, who
4:28never really...
4:29>> No, I mean, like, you can, uh, you
4:31don't necessarily have to throw a party
4:32, which, you know, is how it's usually
4:34imagined, in the sense that, like...
4:36>> if you do it, you do it [ __ ] great.
4:38If you do it badly, perfectionism is at
4:40play here, but that's something else
4:42entirely, that's not the problem. If
4:44you're going to do it, then do it so
4:45that...
4:46>> you do it as badly as possible, so it's
4:47memorable. Because something bad, I
4:49mean, like some intense cringe, that
4:50will definitely be remembered, like,
4:51some kind of hilarious disaster.
4:53Everyone, well, like...
4:54>> all the Bryansk guys gather at the
4:56Khrustik place. Something like that
4:58existed once, when I was growing up.
4:59>> There, there, there, there's something
5:01already being felt. It's already
5:02starting to creep in. Life just
5:04appeared, again, you remember, for
5:06example, some parties, hangouts, or big
5:09gatherings of friends. No one remembers
5:12how stylish or beautiful it was, or
5:14what a cool tablecloth there was, and
5:16so on. Everyone remembers that usually
5:18...
5:18>> girls remember that, guys, of course,
5:20don't.
5:21>> Well, we don't give a [ __ ] what the
5:22girls remember. Also it seems, we're
5:26talking about Vlad, right? Like,
5:29everyone usually remembers, like, holy
5:31[ __ ], do you remember what happened
5:32there? And it's like, you have to
5:34create something fun just to, you know,
5:36have a laugh. And why? Why not? Well,
5:39like, I mean, a valid excuse to throw
5:41some insane party. You'll be forgiven
5:43for everything.
5:44>> No, well, if I come up with something,
5:45I'll invite you. Try to make it so that
5:47I don't end up with memories with Stas
5:48later. Yeah.
5:49>> Well, why not? First of all, secondly,
5:52you don't necessarily have to throw a
5:54party. You can just have a cool day for
5:56yourself. Uh, including my birthday. I
6:00also look at it in a way that, like,
6:02I've lived a year, I should probably
6:04sum things up, make some kind of plan,
6:05and just celebrate it well.
6:08>> That’s different. If you mean
6:09spending the day by yourself, that’s
6:11one thing. I do that, and I give myself
6:14gifts every year, something memorable,
6:15something significant. I mean, when you
6:18gather, like, 20-30 people. That’s
6:21not how I celebrate birthdays.
6:22>> Well, maybe you don’t have to gather
6:2330, you could gather five.
6:25>> Then the others will get offended. I
6:26have a social
6:26>> circle.
6:29>> And there are those stories for close
6:31friends, yeah, with the green circle.
6:33>> Yeah, sure.
6:34>> No, I mean, it’s your day, like your
6:35celebration, your rules. How do you
6:37want to spend it?
6:39>> No, I don’t spend it, you know, at
6:41home alone with a beer, but I mean that
6:42I don’t throw parties, even though I
6:43could. But I mean the celebration part,
6:47I mean I don’t do it like you. I mean
6:49, I don’t rent out a place, like...
6:52>> But I don’t rent out a place. I only
6:53did that once. Well, I was there, and
6:55that was the only time I’d been to
6:56one of yours. I think you didn’t like
6:57it, because you just came and that was
6:59it. I don’t do that anymore. Just
7:04kidding. I usually...
7:06>> Soxar and I brought you flowers, damn
7:08it. I mean, it’s not that I didn’t
7:11like it, but...I just realized that,
7:12like, I don’t really enjoy
7:14large-format parties because I start
7:16out worrying that everyone is having a
7:18good time, that everything is going
7:19well for everyone, and so on. And then
7:22I get really sad because I didn't get a
7:24chance to spend time with everyone I
7:25wanted to—to talk to him, and talk to
7:27him, and stand here, and here, and here
7:29, and there, and...and you’re just
7:31running back and forth with everyone
7:32for 5 minutes. In the end, it just
7:35turns into some weird mess where
7:36everyone is in little groups because
7:38there are so many acquaintances and
7:39friends. And I don’t end up spending
7:42any real time with anyone in particular
7:44. And the format that I’ve definitely
7:46settled on over the years is, like,
7:48getting the guys together and heading
7:50off on a trip somewhere.
7:51>> Now that’s cool. And as for when
7:54everyone says, "We need to celebrate,"
7:55it’s as if people only have one
7:57format in their heads, one format like
7:59a restaurant or some kind of venue. And
8:01that’s all [ __ ]. Yeah, that’s
8:02really [ __ ], yeah, it’s all crap.
8:03It's impossible to bring your whole
8:05circle together so they can talk to
8:07each other, because they likely won't
8:08find each other interesting. It ends up
8:10being completely different worlds,
8:11that's all. And then you'll be walking
8:13around wondering if this group liked it
8:15, or if that group liked it, worrying
8:16more than actually enjoying your
8:17birthday. What a load of crap.
8:19>> Yeah, true.
8:20>> That's why your idea of heading off
8:21somewhere is really great. You should
8:24use it.
8:24>> You don't have to use that exact one,
8:25you could just come up with something
8:27that feels comfortable for you.
8:28>> No, I actually like it.
8:30>> Well, give it a try.
8:31>> I should try it. Yeah.
8:32>> He takes it. Got the hell out of the
8:34office.
8:36>> I don't like that you stopped
8:37celebrating your birthday like that,
8:39because I could've celebrated my
8:40birthday the very next day.
8:45>> Just wait until midnight,
8:47>> and now it's my party.
8:49>> And at 12:01, I’d be like: "Guys,
8:51thanks for coming, it’s so nice.
8:54>> This pile of gifts is mine. Now
8:55everyone can suck it." That’s our
9:02mood today. It’s just really
9:04important for me to celebrate, and
9:05it’s not even about, you know, the
9:07party or getting gifts and all that,
9:09but just giving myself the time and
9:10space with close people: to just
9:12discuss the year, talk about what’s
9:14up with them, and what’s up with me.
9:16And for me, it’s not even about the
9:18trip or the travel itself, but that
9:20you’re spending time with people
9:22close to you, and during that time you
9:24manage to discuss a lot of things.
9:27Because it's one thing when you meet up
9:29in the evening at a restaurant or café
9:30and just do the standard "how are you"
9:32talk, when you know, you haven't seen
9:34each other for two or three weeks or a
9:35month, and you try to cram a month of
9:37your lives into each other in just two
9:39hours. Again, just saying "I had this,
9:41I had that, and this and that," and it
9:43all ends up being pretty superficial
9:44and just not quite right. But when
9:47you're there for a week...usually by
9:48the fourth or fifth day, the most
9:49heartfelt conversations start, when
9:51we’ve finally stripped away all that
9:52pretense, all that superficial stuff,
9:54and the usual routine—it’s like
9:55you’ve discussed everything already,
9:56everything is understood—and then you
9:58get to what actually, damn it, really
9:59matters and hurts deep down. And that
10:02is the real core of it, the reason it's
10:04worth it, because after that it’s
10:06just great, you get closer to people,
10:07even better, your relationships get
10:09stronger, and it’s just really cool.
10:11This is exactly my kind of format.
10:13I’m just not interested in
10:14interacting with a huge crowd for a
10:16minute each. I’d rather hang out with
10:18five, but for a whole week.
10:19>> Uh-huh. Well, I’ll definitely give it
10:20a try and report back.
10:21>> I recommend that everyone go on trips,
10:24not just with friends, but specifically
10:27>> with Vlad. First of all, I recommend
10:29Vlad from any angle; everywhere you
10:30look, he’s a solid recommendation.
10:33But you should definitely find a format
10:35that works for yourself, for your group
10:37, and for your personality type. And
10:39you should celebrate your birthday. It
10:41really is, well, it’s definitely
10:43worth it. Even if you don't really want
10:45to attract much attention to yourself.
10:47I know that many people, myself
10:49included, feel a bit guilty when their
10:51birthday comes around because everyone
10:53is calling and congratulating you, and
10:55it feels a bit awkward—like there’s
10:57too much attention on me, and everyone
10:59is calling, and you're just like, "Oh,
11:01come on, yeah, yeah, enjoy it." Also,
11:05another important thing: Tochbank sped
11:06up this integration, because if you
11:07open an account before November 10th,
11:09there are so many benefits we won't
11:10even have time to list them all. The
11:11only thing I’ll say is that you can
11:13currently get up to five starter
11:14bonuses worth up to 100,000 rubles. at
11:15Tochbank. Details are in the
11:16description. And now we continue with
11:18the show. I understand that everyone
11:22wants a flying Tesla, but there’s
11:24much more important news. I think
11:26there’s a much more significant
11:28novelty from this past period. One that
11:30we didn't manage to discuss in the
11:32previous news episode because it hadn't
11:33appeared yet when we were filming. But
11:36as soon as we wrapped up, Mercedes went
11:38and revealed three motors, 1,169
11:41horsepower, and a big trunk—the
11:43Mercedes AMG GT SUV has been presented.
11:47We thought nothing could be worse than
11:49an electric AMG GT, but they were like,
11:51"Let's make it an SUV too." This is
11:54what it looks like. Vov, show it from
11:56the back, please. The presentation
11:59happened, and everyone started howling
12:01again that Mercedes, well, if you're
12:03serious, this is a total disaster. If
12:07you're doing this specifically to
12:09devalue powerful electric cars that
12:11cost a lot of money, then okay, that's
12:13an excellent special electric operation
12:15for that purpose. And they even
12:18released an ad with Toto Wolff, where
12:19Toto is walking through his garage, and
12:21this thing is sitting there. He says, "
12:23I know everyone is going to hate it."
12:26Then he’s driving it, smiling, at
12:28least until he actually takes it for a
12:30ride. Well, it’s—it’s just awful.
12:33The fact that Toto is in a commercial
12:35—he is, by the way, an owner of the
12:36Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team. And who
12:39else but him should go around telling
12:41everyone that Mercedes AMG is doing a
12:43great job? He’s an actual owner. He's
12:46not just a director; he has a certain
12:48amount of shares, I think he's a
12:50co-owner. No, he isn’t a sole owner,
12:52well, I mean, he’s one of the owners.
12:54>> Well, maybe he has a controlling stake.
12:56>> He has an impressive stake in the
12:57company. A third. He has a third.
13:00>> A third,
13:01>> yes. Of the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1
13:03Team. That, just so you know, is a huge
13:06company with big money. And Toto
13:08definitely isn’t doing too badly
13:10there. Definitely not doing badly.
13:11>> No, he's a dollar billionaire.
13:13>> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. Uh.
13:14>> Billionaire, definitely a dollar one.
13:16>> And a euro billionaire, I think, quite
13:18possibly too. He probably even has a
13:19t-shirt like that. "I am a euro
13:20billionaire." Something along those
13:23lines.
13:24>> Even Elon Musk isn’t a euro
13:26billionaire.
13:28>> If you look past the commercials, which
13:30are obviously staged—you have to say
13:32what you're told to say—and look at
13:34what he actually drives in Monaco,
13:35where he lives, he’s doing just fine,
13:37you know, it doesn’t really smell
13:39like electric cars there. He has an
13:42ancient retro 300 SL, that absolutely
13:44expensive car. He’s been seen in a
13:47CLK GTR. That’s a car that exists in
13:51very limited numbers. And the guy is
13:55doing just fine, his taste and his cars
13:57are all in order, in short. But this
14:00yellow thing—I have no words, I
14:03don’t know how to comment on it.
14:05Honestly. I mean, they are a large
14:08group of people who know their stuff.
14:11About how cars—and apparently, fast,
14:13mean Mercedes—should look. They
14:15designed this, and nobody felt a thing?
14:19They produced it, I mean, made it at
14:20the factory...Then they released this
14:25from the factory. He's just showing
14:26another one. And again, nobody felt a
14:29thing. Then the whole group came to
14:31film the thing. Again, nobody felt a
14:33thing. And here they are with a
14:35straight face, like, "please, go ahead
14:36and buy it."
14:36>> Well, Stas, that’s just what you
14:38think. Maybe there is someone out there
14:40who likes this design. They didn’t
14:41design it for nothing. They didn’t...
14:44well.
14:44>> Do you like it?
14:46>> No, I mean, when they designed it, they
14:48must have been guided by some kind of
14:50taste, concepts, and so on. Vladimir,
14:53what do you think about this?
14:56>> Wow, you just hijacked my host role.
14:59Like,
15:00>> let’s move on to the next news item.
15:02>> Sorry for interrupting.
15:05>> I should have said: "Yes, yes, Nikita,
15:06I’m with you." Thanks, colleagues in
15:11the studio. Yes, handing it over. I’m
15:13from the design department.
15:15>> I’m currently standing right next to
15:17a photo of this thing.
15:23>> And it’s just as ugly up close as it
15:26is from afar. Yeah. Well, okay. Look,
15:32guys, here's the question. And you know
15:35,
15:37>> a beautiful sports crossover. Like
15:39something in that same class.
15:41>> Ferrari
15:42>> Ferrari has a beautiful
15:44>> one like that. Yes, the Purosangue is
15:46truly beautiful.
15:47>> This thing here is more like a Porsche
15:49Cayenne or something. And the Porsche
15:51Cayenne, well, not counting the latest
15:53generation, the first one was very
15:56>> like, damn, well that’s obvious with
15:58all the caveats.
15:59>> No, this thing is supposed to be cooler
16:01. It’s like on the level of, I
16:03don’t know, a Maserati Levante,
16:05something like that.
16:06>> Well, the Maserati Levante is also
16:08beautiful.
16:09>> And the Alfa
16:10>> Romeo Stelvio is a level lower.
16:14Actually, this thing should probably be
16:16something like the Urus.
16:18>> Mm, the majesty of beauty. This
16:20>> Urus is a beautiful car.
16:22>> Yes, yes.
16:23>> Now look, here
16:24>> no, it’s not bad. Better than this
16:25one.
16:26>> Here,
16:26>> because what? That’s an Audi, right?
16:28Yeah. Let’s put it this way. Uh,
16:29>> yeah. Judging by what we see, basically
16:32, they started making this as an EV,
16:34but then they looked at their EV sales
16:36and were like: "Damn, we’ll have to
16:38make something that looks like a gas
16:40car."
16:40>> Are you talking about the radiator
16:41grille? Like,
16:42>> I’m talking about the proportions.
16:43Look, it has a massive hood. It has
16:45classic proportions, like the old
16:47Infiniti FX in terms of its build.
16:49>> Yes, I agree. And
16:51>> yeah, the radiator grille, the optics,
16:53which they separated here, because on
16:55the AMG GT 4-door it’s joined
16:56together. By the way, it’s worth
17:00noting that it’s not as disgusting in
17:02black. If it’s completely black, let
17:04me show you on my screen. I’ve got it
17:06right here and I’m falling asleep.
17:08I’m literally falling asleep looking
17:09at this photo. Yeah,
17:11>> you’ve got the black one right there
17:12often
17:12>> at least. At least it’s not—well,
17:14it’s not such a nightmare. Still bad,
17:16but not as bad. It hurts, but it’s
17:18healing. Yeah. That’s
17:22>> Stas’s phrasing when the black one is
17:24around. Yellow is just a total disaster
17:30, an absolute horror.
17:32>> Well, I get it, the radiator grille
17:33reminds me of this meme. How do you
17:35like the persimmon, Mr. Anderson?
17:39>> Not the radiator grille, but the bumper
17:41. Yes, the holes. Yes,
17:43>> agreed, agreed.
17:46>> Well, honestly, I haven't seen the ad
17:48you're talking about, but if it says
17:50you won't like it until you drive it,
17:52that already sounds bad. It's like, not
17:55that it says "I know everyone is hating
17:57it," but that everyone hates it until
17:59they get behind the wheel.
18:00>> Well, that's still bad. A car should be
18:02attractive from the start. I mean,
18:04that's what design is for—to grab
18:06attention initially, and only then do
18:08you find out if it's good or bad. At
18:15the same time, the drama quieted down a
18:17bit, how should I put it, the noise was
18:20muffled because you have a huge uproar
18:22from one side and another huge uproar
18:24from the other.
18:26>> In my opinion, it looks like an
18:27ordinary crossover. Well, the only
18:29thing that's confusing is that it's
18:31supposed to be an ultra-expensive,
18:32ultra-cool Mercedes. It doesn't look
18:34ultra-cool,
18:34>> which, in theory, should also be very
18:36aggressive. BMW once released the BMW
18:39XM. And this thing looks worse. The BMW
18:42XM
18:43>> looks worse.
18:44>> No, it looks more boring. It's just an
18:46ordinary crossover, that's all. Well,
18:49at least in my view,
18:50>> XM is better read as "hmmm," like they
18:53released it and you're like, "Hmm, I
18:56see."
18:57>> The XM was a very bold thing in terms
18:59of design. It doesn't mean it's
19:00beautiful, just bold in its design.
19:02When you look at it, you're like, "
19:04That's bold." Like that. Well yeah,
19:06they broke all their design canons,
19:08because at that time they were just
19:09releasing the 30. I mean, if a guy is
19:12wearing a skirt in Moscow, you're like,
19:14"Is that bold?"
19:15>> No, in Moscow, that's just Tuesday. Now
19:18, in Ossetia or Novosibirsk, that's
19:21bold.
19:23>> But this thing, in my opinion, shows
19:24the Mercedes designers got scared. They
19:27got scared that people didn't
19:29understand what they were drawing, so
19:31they had to turn what they were drawing
19:33into something resembling an ordinary
19:35car.
19:36>> And it didn't work.
19:37>> No, apparently, it didn't work. Since
19:38you aren't inspired, it didn't work.
19:41>> We hope the guys will look at their
19:43sales report for this AMG GT—the
19:44regular one and this crossover—and
19:46everything will become clear without
19:48words or epithets. Meanwhile, BMW's
19:54report for the first 9 months of the
19:56current year has arrived. And Europe is
19:58helping, China is dragging them down,
20:00and Rolls-Royce is losing customers.
20:03Naturally, of course, the most
20:04important and delicious report will be
20:06waiting for us in January 2027, because
20:08it will be the annual report and it
20:09will definitely reflect that first
20:11sales impulse of the new Neue Klasse
20:12family. Of these, of these beavers,
20:16this beaver-like BMW, because, well, in
20:18theory, in the fourth quarter, some
20:20cars will already be delivered to
20:22customers, and we will be able to see
20:24it reflected in the statistics, because
20:26so far, in the 9 months of 2026, BMW is
20:28down, or rather, it's a controlled
20:30descent, like in aviation, there is a
20:32term like that.
20:33>> It's in
20:35>> Like everything is bad, but we are in
20:36control.
20:37>> A helicopter, when it lands with an
20:39engine failure using autorotation.
20:41>> Uh-huh.
20:41>> Yes, there is such a thing. Everyone
20:42pretends that everything is under
20:43control, right? That's it, when the
20:45helicopter with the rotor is like, "
20:47Everything is under control." BMW is
20:50about the same, because their total
20:52sales have dropped by 5%compared to
20:542025 across the whole world.
20:57Specifically in China, they have a
20:58decline of 22%. And, well, the guys
21:00kind of expected this. I mean, when we
21:03discussed the reports for 2025 and 2026
21:05, it was visible in the reports and in
21:07subsequent speeches by management that
21:09they were saying: "We don't expect any
21:12profits next year, if anything,
21:13everything will be worse for us, and so
21:16on.""We are definitely factoring this
21:17in." And then there is a big summary
21:19report that in such-and-such market
21:20they dropped by so much. In
21:22such-and-such market they dropped by so
21:23much. BMW M worldwide dropped by 6%.
21:27And everyone attributes this to the
21:29fact that the new 5 series, this hybrid
21:32, huge, heavy, expensive piece of junk,
21:35and that the example of Mercedes with
21:38their two-liter hybrid C63 AMG taught
21:40BMW nothing. So their sales are
21:43gradually falling too. But actually,
21:45it's unclear, because when your entire
21:46group drops by five and the M division
21:48also drops by six, it doesn't stand out
21:50much from the general trend of
21:52declining sales. Therefore, perhaps
21:53there are no problems with the M
21:55division at all. It's just that the
21:56whole company is dropping. This is
21:58normal. Management is concerned about
21:59this. Everyone knew about it. Everyone
22:01is already doing some work in advance,
22:03saying that we will cut something here
22:04and there. Again, it's worth noting
22:06that BMW's situation is significantly
22:08better than that of VAG, Audi, or
22:09Mercedes in terms of actual money
22:11earned and what's happening inside the
22:13company. But the momentum, as expected,
22:16is negative. At the same time, this is
22:19a historic moment: not a single classic
22:21internal combustion engine made it into
22:23the top 10 best engines. The rather
22:26reputable industry publication
22:28WardsAuto published the results of
22:30their study of all modern engines in
22:322026—units currently being sold in
22:34new cars. They tested a total of 26
22:37nominees, analyzing them based on
22:39various factors: power, performance,
22:41and how the unit actually operates.
22:43They didn't check for reliability. Just
22:45the design concept itself and the
22:47characteristics the engine delivers in
22:49terms of horsepower, torque, and so on.
22:51And all of them—meaning all the
22:53nominees and winners—are either
22:55electric or hybrid. That's it. Not a
22:58single simple engine that is just a
23:00gasoline or diesel engine. There is
23:02just no classic internal combustion
23:03engine at all.
23:04>> You mean like the six-cylinder from
23:05AvtoVAZ?
23:06>> No, no, no. Among the top 10, there are
23:09four all-electric power units. These
23:12are the GLC400, Rivian R2, Subaru Trail
23:15Seeker, and Volvo EX60. There are also
23:19four non-plug-in hybrids. These are the
23:21Chevrolet Corvette, Polestar, Rogue,
23:24and 911 GTS.
23:25>> Ryu.
23:27>> Or R.
23:28>> Rogue, yeah, just ROG. Got it, clearer
23:31now.
23:32>> Rogue,
23:32>> yeah.
23:33>> Ngu. Nissan Rogue. Oh, and the two
23:37remaining spots are plug-in hybrids:
23:40the M5 Touring and RAV4 GR Sport. The
23:43best damn power units on the planet
23:45right now. First of all, even though
23:48the M 5's power unit is named one of
23:50the best, no one really cares about
23:52buying the new M5, let's not forget
23:54that. And all these journalistic awards
23:57don't always correlate with sales.
23:59Sales are the most important indicator
24:01for a car company, for a specific car
24:03model, and for an engine. The most
24:05important thing is how many people
24:07bought something and are using it, not
24:10just some nominations in a vacuum. And
24:12now, every automotive media outlet is
24:14discussing how this is a historic
24:15moment. It seems like we still have
24:17classic internal combustion engines
24:18left in the market. So, in theory,
24:20among all these nominees and award
24:22winners, some internal combustion
24:23engines should have snuck in. But
24:25simply because they are all
24:27technologically old, that's it, we have
24:29a new future, a new sphere, a new era,
24:30and so on. Total [ __ ]. I don't
24:32agree with any of this at all.
24:34>> Actually, the article mentions that
24:35there were purely internal combustion
24:37engine nominees.
24:38>> Come on, the engines are old; they
24:39haven't been developed for 15 years. I
24:41mean, there’s nothing new; nobody is
24:42releasing a truly new engine design
24:44anymore. A purely gasoline one.
24:45Everyone is releasing them with some
24:46kind of hybrid add-ons regardless.
24:48>> What about the AvtoVAZ 16-valve?
24:49>> The AvtoVAZ 16-valve is completely
24:51outside the nomination. It’s like,
24:52you know, in a separate category if
24:53anything. And indeed, maybe in terms of
24:57specs, the power and torque curves, and
24:59environmental ratings, modern engines
25:02might be better. I don’t argue with
25:05that. I’m just saying it’s not for
25:07me. I’m a person who believes in the
25:09ICE, in gasoline, in diesel, and in
25:11pure, simple mechanics. I need the
25:13performance of a normal, decent
25:15gasoline engine. And that absolutely
25:17insane torque from some electric motor,
25:19like a Rivian, you can shove it up your
25:21ass and spin it around in there. I’m
25:23for the ICE. I want metal parts
25:25clicking, and it going "vroom" and "
25:27rumble" and that’s it. And again,
25:29it’s logical that when your market is
25:31plastered with bans and restrictions,
25:33automakers physically cannot develop
25:34any new ICE. It’s logical that the
25:37awards will be nothing but hybrids,
25:39simply because automakers have nothing
25:41else to offer. Moreover, the automakers
25:43themselves very often say that we
25:45develop these hybrid attachments not
25:47because we think they are better
25:48technology, but because of restrictions
25:50. We just can't develop an internal
25:52combustion engine under the existing
25:54standards and bans. Meanwhile, Porsche
25:58is testing a new generation gasoline
26:00Macan in some very strange camouflage.
26:02>> Is it a Macan or...
26:05>> well, like we discussed in previous
26:06news, Porsche did some weird [ __ ] by
26:08making the Macan an electric car, even
26:10though it was gas-powered its whole
26:11life. And the new gasoline model
26:14that’s supposed to replace the Macan
26:16won't be called a Macan,
26:18>> but an LG.
26:19>> What?
26:20>> LG.
26:21>> LG. A good one,
26:27>> right?
26:27>> Yeah, even I understood that. And so,
26:31something was spotted. That is a pure
26:34Q5.
26:34>> Well no, it’s beautiful, but there
26:36are tons of those. It’s a Q5 that
26:43wasn't even masked or modified in any
26:45way. They just slapped some aero parts
26:47on it and are testing something.
26:50Perhaps it’s how some body kit
26:51behaves, or maybe they’re measuring
26:53how this specific body handles airflow.
26:56Who the hell knows why. Well, because
26:57it's clear that this is, like, not a
26:58Porsche. And it's quite possible that
27:00it isn't even them conducting these
27:01tests. For now, well, journalists
27:03assume that it's the Porsche company
27:04conducting some tests. But of course,
27:07as the company promised, uh, they'll
27:09just take the Q5 with minimal
27:10modifications, try to turn it into
27:12something that, well, won't make it too
27:13obvious that it's a Q5, and release it
27:15in '28 under a new name, just to make
27:17at least a little bit of money. But
27:20it's sad, sad, sad, sad, sad. Very sad.
27:27Well okay, let's go, since we've
27:28touched on Porsche. Well, so be it,
27:30well, fine. Well, let's, well, okay,
27:32let's. Well, well, well, okay, fine.
27:34The new Porsche Mission X has been
27:36unveiled. A precursor to a new line of
27:38supercars above the 911. What can I say
27:41? Well, they can, when the money runs
27:44out, remember that, look, we are, as it
27:46turns out, if anything, the Pinnacle of
27:48Motorsport, well, Driving Technology,
27:50and so on and so forth. This car has
27:54references to absolutely everything
27:55that Porsche does and has done. I mean,
27:57in terms of design and appearance. It
28:00seems like this is something that will
28:02be, well, like the 918, something like
28:03that, just some
28:04super-duper-hell-of-a-car.
28:06>> And is it a concept or has it already
28:07been released?
28:08>> It's a concept. A concept,
28:09>> a concept. They don't even know yet
28:11what kind of powertrain this car will
28:13have. I mean, they are just showing an
28:15idea for now, like, look, there won't
28:17be any multimedia, there won't be a
28:19screen. Imagine, what can you use
28:22instead? A phone. Holy [ __ ]. It's just,
28:25well, MagSafe, like, you place the
28:27phone, and it automatically connects to
28:29the car. You turn on the GPS.
28:30>> They stole the idea from Atom. Oh my
28:33god.
28:34>> A classic-style dashboard, a normal
28:36steering wheel. Perhaps, even if,
28:38imagine if the customers want it, we'll
28:41even make a manual transmission. And
28:44when they started asking about the
28:45powertrains, what will be in there, the
28:47executive said like: "Well, we'll see
28:49what the demand from customers is, and
28:50then we'll decide whether it will be
28:52gasoline, a hybrid, or an electric
28:53vehicle." manual transmission. I know,
28:55meaning in general we can develop
28:57anything depending on what our
28:59customers ask us for. And wow, because
29:03this is...what, an automotive company
29:06is going to do what its customers want
29:09from it? It sounds new and fresh,
29:13because honestly, I haven't heard ideas
29:15like this from automotive leadership in
29:17about the last 10 years.
29:19>> Because it costs a million plus, that's
29:21why you haven't heard it. Well, even
29:23from them, you rarely hear it. Even at
29:26those price points, it always starts
29:28with how the world is heading in that
29:30direction, the choice is made, and they
29:32try to explain to people that, like, a
29:34Rolls-Royce should also be electric and
29:36covered in screens.
29:37>> Well, no. Luxury automakers hold
29:40special previews and poll their
29:42potential clientele directly about what
29:44they would like.
29:46>> And they all made EVs. And then they
29:48all go: "Oh, expensive watches." By the
29:51way, how about that guy from Bugatti,
29:53who, you know, spent the whole time
29:55going around saying that electric cars
29:57are the future, mentioning the torque,
29:59the power, the energy efficiency,
30:01saying everything is just great. Then,
30:03as soon as it became clear that this
30:05whole shop was folding, he immediately
30:06switched to "Swiss watches, pure
30:08mechanics, yeah." And, you know,
30:10Switzerland accounts for 10%of those
30:12watch sales by volume and 90%of the
30:15profits. So, for our cars too, if
30:17anything, maximum mechanics. So, in
30:20short, the point is that it's
30:21surprising that these guys come out and
30:23say, "Whatever people want, that's what
30:25we'll do." Screw it, even just that.
30:27It's clear that for millions
30:28>> maybe you'll get it for yourself.
30:29>> Are you kidding? I don't earn that much
30:30and I never will. No, I mean, seriously
30:32, no jokes. I can't even buy a GT,
30:34although I'd like to.
30:35>> It’s all about saving money and the
30:37fact that you have to pull out so much
30:39cash at once for a car.
30:40>> There’s just no way to get it at all.
30:41I mean, how much will it actually cost?
30:43Probably, like, well, 1. 200, 300. I
30:45just don't have that kind of money. You
30:47do,
30:47>> yeah. Just take Autopragmat public, and
30:50that's it,
30:50>> electric vehicle selection service.
30:52Yeah, like,
30:52>> yeah. No, but come on, a proving ground
30:55costs as much as some car.
30:56>> And I don't have money for a second
30:57proving ground, because this one will
30:59only pay for itself in like seven years
31:00, that's when it will return the money.
31:02I used to have it. That's the keyword,
31:06that I*had*it. Well, after all,
31:08what’s a 2-hectare proving ground in
31:10the Moscow region compared to a car?
31:12The choice is obvious, I think.
31:15Obviously. Well,
31:15>> it is a Porsche after all. No, look at
31:19it this way. You need to see what the
31:21918 cost at launch, what it costs now,
31:23and perhaps even
31:25>> No, forget it, don't, don't sell me on
31:27that idea.
31:29>> I'm looking at the Spyder right now.
31:32Honestly, we were with Atakar
31:33>> No, you've been looking at it like that
31:34for a long time, why the hell do you
31:35need it?
31:35>> No, no, not for a long time. We went
31:37through the season, and all my
31:38automotive anger, impressions, and so
31:40on, like racing, the track, and so
31:42forth, it turned out that I really only
31:43drove 2,000 km on the Spyder this
31:45season. Well, like, maybe even less.
31:48>> And 5,000 on the Granta.
31:49>> On the Granta 5,000, yeah.
31:51>> At the racetrack. And on one hand,
31:54it’s a cool car, but all those
31:56specific driving sensations and
31:58impressions I now get in the Granta.
32:01Well, well, well, well, yeah. Well,
32:03that's just how it is in fact, because
32:04you can't take a Spyder with 30 other
32:06people into the first turn door-to-door
32:08. At least I don’t earn enough yet to
32:10drive a Porsche like that in some GT4
32:11series, because a season there costs
32:13just insane amounts of money. And I
32:15look at it and think: "Well, this thing
32:17costs 15 million. Surely that could be
32:20applied somewhere else somehow."
32:23>> Ring-la-la-y.
32:24>> No,
32:26>> no, it's the "we never know when we'll
32:27die" kind of thing. Like you have to
32:29live life here and now, not put it off,
32:31live life, do things.
32:32>> No no no, don't sell me on that idea.
32:33No need. No, no need.
32:35>> No, what’s bad about these cars is
32:37that every time you take it out, it
32:39loses value. That’s a disaster. You
32:41just can’t drive it.
32:42>> No, well, it’s very expensive. I mean
32:44, like no, it’s not—it’s just not
32:45realistic.
32:46>> No, well you think,
32:47>> is that already good?
32:49>> I mean, like a hypothetical current 911
32:52GT3 convertible.
32:54>> That’s the ideal car in terms of a
32:55Porsche, for me personally. But it’s
32:57going to cost, damn, an insane amount
32:59of money.
32:59>> Is it going to, or does it already
33:00exist?
33:01>> Yeah, it doesn't exist yet.
33:02>> Not yet.
33:02>> I mean, what you can import right now
33:04is just crazy money.
33:05>> He signed up for email notifications so
33:07they’d let him know when it comes out
33:08.
33:08>> And when the three-year-old ones...
33:09>> And how much does the three-year-old
33:10cost now?
33:11>> But when they start bringing the
33:12three-year-old ones here,
33:12>> Around 50, somewhere.
33:14>> Well, the current one, yeah, probably.
33:16>> You should get the Alfa, the GTA one
33:17then. The GTA is [ __ ] insane, what
33:20—
33:22>> You should buy commercial real estate,
33:24not an investment recommendation.
33:27>> The first-gen Cayenne, I mean.
33:29>> Well, an Alfa becomes a lawn ornament
33:32after a while too.
33:33>> Here's the current one.
33:34>> We'll all end up there.
33:37>> Not the convertibles, though. Right now
33:40in Moscow, it's from 32 to 37 million
33:42rubles. Screw 30. Can you, damn it,
33:45imagine 37 million rubles? For a car.
33:48>> I'm poor, I can't imagine that for me.
33:50>> I can't imagine it either. Like,
33:52>> you've got a rabbit in your arms. Damn,
33:54>> not Omega, don't confuse
33:57>> it here. On the other hand, you go out
33:59in Moscow and every G-Wagon is
34:01basically this same price.
34:02>> Well, yeah.
34:03>> Maybe we should save such expensive
34:05news for Boosty.
34:08>> Nah, no way. No.
34:09>> But if it were right-hand drive. Yeah,
34:11Nikita.
34:11>> Yeah, it would cost 20.
34:15>> I don't think so. You don't think so,
34:17but it's a fact.
34:19>> I seriously looked at Porsche on the
34:21right. They are much cheaper.
34:23>> No, a Porsche on the right is a style,
34:25I think, it's pretty wild. A 911 with
34:27the steering wheel on the right,
34:28>> like, you know, you took it straight
34:29from Clarkson, damn, or...
34:31>> Oof, it's the same thing as a Grannis
34:33on the right. It feels about the same.
34:36And even if you take the pre-facelift,
34:39well, it's like 20,
34:41>> you can always say about some GT3
34:43Porsche that it's built for Le Mans.
34:46There are more right turns there,
34:47that's why it's right-hand drive. It's
34:49like they brought in, what's it called?
34:51God. Ford F40. Not F40. What is it?
34:54>> GT40.
34:55>> GT40.
34:56>> They brought it in as a right-hand
34:58drive with that exact logic, that it
34:59was right-hand drive because there are
35:01more right turns on the track.
35:03>> Wow. And what is the best car show in
35:05the world, Stas? Top
35:07>> Gear.
35:07>> Which side do they drive on there?
35:09>> On different ones.
35:10>> No. But Clarkson always called it the "
35:12correct" steering wheel and the "
35:13incorrect" one.
35:14>> Well, because he's British.
35:15>> There you go.
35:17>> Are you in Britain, I don't get it.
35:18You're having tea.
35:22>> Indian tea was once Britain.
35:25>> What do you mean? We are in Russia.
35:27Then we can look at it differently.
35:28What is the most important car country
35:31on the planet?
35:32>> America. What kind of cars are there?
35:37>> What's the most important car there? A
35:39pickup. Why aren't you driving a pickup
35:41? I need a pickup. You need a British
35:44right-hand drive.
35:45>> If it's a right-hand drive pickup.
35:48>> Next, for f*** 's sake.
35:54>> The Tesla Roadster debuted.
35:56Acceleration to 100 in under a second
35:58and the ability to fly. I think you've
36:00all seen those clips, that presentation
36:02, and it's obvious that, well, the main
36:04goal of the car has already been met.
36:06The hype happened. All right, just in
36:08case you somehow managed to avoid all
36:09that, I'll give you some context. And
36:11Elon Musk comes out. This time he comes
36:14out specifically, unlike previous Tesla
36:16presentations concerning their taxi
36:17launch or Cybercab and such, where
36:19other guys were coming out. Here, since
36:22the event is hype-driven and that is
36:24its main focus. Naturally, Elon Musk
36:27himself comes out and is like: "Look,
36:29guys, I'm betting my life on it."
36:31It’s not and it’s for sure. What
36:33you’re about to see is in reality,
36:35right here, here’s a ramp for you,
36:38and there’s a Roadster, or something
36:40currently called a Roadster. It drives
36:43up there very slowly, then drives off,
36:45and then it’s like: "Holy [ __ ], a
36:47dooflip."
36:48>> No, it drives up, and then
36:51>> it falls and flips and lands.
36:54Mind-blowing. I didn't believe it,
36:55honestly. That’s the first shot. I
36:57didn't know that on our, well, on our
37:00planet it was possible for a car with
37:02jet engines to be like this. The
37:04question is, how much does it weigh?
37:06>> Well, it's surely light, it's surely a
37:07prototype. Well, definitely. Well, it's
37:10insane. I didn't know such technologies
37:12already existed.
37:12>> Well, yeah,
37:14>> I’ve seen those jetpack prototypes,
37:16usually there's a huge thing on a
37:17person's back, but they crammed this
37:19into a car. Amazing. It’s a technical
37:22revolution,
37:23>> right? And it's the truth, the absolute
37:25truth. And that is exactly why this car
37:27exists. And they even stated at the
37:28presentation themselves that, well, the
37:30point isn't that we are going to sell
37:32this in huge numbers now or that they
37:33will appear on roads everywhere. We
37:35just want to show you what Tesla and
37:37SpaceX are capable of at this moment.
37:39Like, here’s the intersection point,
37:41where we have SpaceX and Tesla
37:42technologies and this is what we can do
37:44. And if anything, we’ll launch the
37:46Roadie in twenty-eight or twenty-nine.
37:48In twenty-eight.
37:49>> I didn't get a chance to get a word in.
37:50Why, when you said we can.
37:53>> Why? Well, it definitely won't be
37:55flying in twenty-eight. Exactly,
37:57because even despite the fact that, yes
37:59, it really is a revolutionary change
38:01and indeed no one has been able to do
38:03this before. The thing where the car
38:05sticks to the surface. That was
38:06possible. Supercars and hypercars have
38:08had that for a long time. And there are
38:10these things where you have a fan that
38:11sucks the car down, which additionally
38:13generates downforce so the car is
38:14faster.
38:15>> Recently. That’s at most how long?
38:17Five or six years, probably, for that
38:19technology.
38:20>> Well, by Tesla's standards that's
38:21already a long time, yes. They started
38:23stuffing this into electric cars first.
38:24Well, it doesn't matter.
38:25>> By the way, this technology was used in
38:26Formula racing a long time ago.
38:28>> Right, that’s Formula. Those are
38:30one-off cars for the track. And now
38:32they've started applying it in
38:33mass-produced cars. Mind-blowing. Well,
38:36it's unlikely they’ll go out on the
38:38road with that entire kit. Ooh,
38:40>> well, there are three versions of this
38:42Roadster announced, so the base one
38:43will be a pure electric car. It will
38:45probably just have that suction cup and
38:46that's it. There is a second version
38:48that will have a jet engine installed,
38:50but purely for sub-one-second
38:51acceleration.
38:53>> That one won't be allowed on public
38:55roads; it will be strictly for the
38:57track. And this third version, the one
39:01that flies, will only be sold to select
39:03people who will, apparently, be told, "
39:06Hey, please, dude, sign this contract."
39:09>> A contract stating that if you kill
39:11yourself, you won't hold us liable.
39:13>> Yeah. The biggest problem with anything
39:16flying within city limits, anywhere
39:18where people actually live. That’s
39:22the second one. And right now, there
39:24were already a bunch of memes about
39:25that, saying that in Russia, you'd take
39:27off and that would be it. Hello there.
39:29Sound. Humanity hasn't learned how to
39:33make anything that flies quiet in
39:35general. Simply because, well, damn it,
39:39it turns out noisy. Even a small FPV
39:41drone still makes a lot of noise. It's
39:43an unpleasant, high-pitched sound you
39:45can hear. That’s it, it’s, well,
39:47kind of intense. Yeah, well, usually it
39:52just ends up hitting a cat at home when
39:54, you know, they buy some little toy
39:56and...I always crack up at compilations
39:58where a cameraman is flying, say,
39:59filming a wedding, and someone is
40:01standing by a car looking cool, or
40:03people are just standing there, and it
40:05flies straight into their face, and the
40:06last frame is like "Damn."
40:09>> Oh, I thought you were going to talk
40:10about when cats catch them.
40:11>> Cats catch them too, yeah, and
40:12everything else. But the main thing is
40:14that it’s just not possible to make
40:15something that flies quiet. Obviously,
40:18they masked the sound in the recording
40:19somehow; you can hear it, it's a pretty
40:21piercing wail, but with the music and
40:23effects, they cleaned it up a bit in
40:25the final footage. The people in the
40:27audience must have been stunned by the
40:30volume. You, as someone who has encoun
40:32...
40:33>> Well, it’s definitely very loud,
40:35especially since this is technology
40:37used for course correction on ships and
40:39things like that. So, it's...Yeah, yeah
40:42, yeah. So, these are jets of
40:44compressed something, or maybe reaction
40:47jets. In this case, I understood it as
40:49compressed air being used.
40:50>> Well, from tanks, probably, or
40:51something that got refilled somewhere.
40:53>> No, that's very loud because
40:56>> I mean, if you want to use something
40:58like this on a regular basis, for
41:00course correction, you need that air or
41:03whatever they are spraying to be
41:05replenished somehow. So you would need
41:09some kind of compressor working inside
41:11to keep that tank pressurized.
41:13Otherwise, you just get one or two
41:15blasts. And if you didn't manage to
41:16land in those one or two blasts, then
41:19you’re on the roof.
41:21>> No, I’ve naturally watched it and
41:23I’m more than sure that it cannot be
41:25implemented in an electric vehicle
41:27format. Because if the electric car
41:30itself weighs over 2 tons, plus this
41:32whole setup, it definitely won't be
41:34able to climb a vertical wall and stick
41:36to it like they showed in the
41:38presentation, because no fan can suck
41:40that mass onto a wall. Well, that's
41:42practically impossible.
41:44>> Well, no specs are revealed, and is it
41:46even a working car, or is it really
41:49just a shell with nothing inside?
41:52>> Definitely a shell with nothing. I’m
41:54practically saying that. There’s
41:55likely a space frame inside, and
41:57everything else is shoved in there.
41:58>> Uh-huh.
41:59>> Back to Porsche. Maybe Antonov will buy
42:01it.
42:02>> You just want someone to buy it?
42:04Someone in Russia will definitely buy
42:06it, and we’ll surely see it on
42:07Patriki someday.
42:08>> Yeah. Then that same person will be
42:10learning to drive an Atom.
42:13>> Anyway, excuse me for getting
42:14side-tracked.
42:15>> Well, in short, I am more than sure
42:17that this is just a wow-effect and
42:19there won't be anything even remotely
42:22similar in a road-legal car.
42:24>> Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the fact that the
42:25guys are better than anyone on the
42:27planet at putting on a beautiful
42:29presentation, creating hype, and now
42:30everyone is running around making
42:32neural network clips about how pickups
42:34fly like that, or the UAZ Bukhanka, or
42:36the Niva, and so on. But this will also
42:38spread all over the planet now.
42:40Everyone will remember Tesla exists
42:42again. Everyone will recall that it’s
42:44a high-tech company and Elon Musk is a
42:46genius. We’ll have some breakthroughs
42:48again. We’re about to fly to Mars.
42:50But for some reason, the stocks dropped
42:52.
42:52>> Did they? Let's see.
42:54>> Did they actually drop?
42:55>> Here, take a look. But again, this
42:57whole thing about watching Tesla's
42:59stock price, it's just, well, like
43:02>> forget about it.
43:03>> Sure, there would be a short-term 5%
43:05jump,
43:06>> and then the same drop right after.
43:08It's useless, this crap, it's
43:09constantly being jerked back and forth,
43:11and the stock price doesn't really mean
43:13much.
43:13>> Well, I don't know. I think we just
43:16witnessed something historic, because
43:18even if this technology doesn't appear
43:21in mass-produced cars anytime soon, it
43:24made something compact possible, this
43:26kind of tech, a mini jet engine—I
43:29mean, in a year or so, someone will
43:31show up with a unistack.
43:34>> Usually, the things that really change
43:36things in a big way are never presented
43:38. So this is historic stuff. The iPhone
43:41was presented like that.
43:42>> Maybe that’s the only or at least a
43:45rare case, because usually things that
43:48truly change life just appear without
43:50any major, uh, presentation for them.
43:54Well, look at the same, I know this
43:56topic is, well, so-so, but the same
43:58drones, they’ve sort of changed
44:00everything in the last four years,
44:02>> right? More precisely, you’re
44:04probably recalling Taleb, that
44:06revolutionary things first appear for
44:08one specific purpose. And then,
44:10unexpectedly,
44:11>> they change everything else. Yeah, yeah
44:12, exactly. I mean, like drones, which
44:14appeared just as drones.
44:15>> Damn, I clearly remember the end of
44:17some year when AI-generated images
44:19started filling, well, images started
44:21filling the internet. And I was like, "
44:24Wow, holy crap, the future just
44:25suddenly arrived."
44:26>> And it just appeared.
44:28>> Well, it appeared out of—I don't know
44:30, I didn't follow the companies that
44:31presented them, but I noticed this
44:33change directly. It just happened.
44:35>> There were a bunch of predictions about
44:36how it would change things and so on,
44:37but just like that. And, you know, we
44:39all use it one way or another, and we
44:40all interact with his products in one
44:42way or another. And it's clear that
44:44everyone is saying in parallel, in the
44:45case of AI, that everything will change
44:47, everything will change, everything
44:48will change, but that's probably not
44:50the most relevant example either. In a
44:52case where you live in a big city,
44:54deliveries, small electric transport—
44:56I mean, scooters, bikes, and so on—
44:57nobody came out saying that electric
44:59scooters would, damn, change the planet
45:01or electric bikes would change the
45:02planet, even though delivery has
45:04accelerated by an order of magnitude
45:05and that's it. And so, like, well,
45:08daily life has changed so much that,
45:10like, this last mile or last kilometer,
45:12as they call it in logistics, it has
45:13radically accelerated and efficiency
45:15has radically increased.
45:17>> Well, usually they just show some
45:19prototype, which you look at
45:20skeptically and think: "Well okay,
45:22someday this will appear." And it
45:24gradually appears. You’ve just
45:26already heard about it, and you're like
45:28: "Well yes, there is such a
45:29development." Then, oh, well, someone
45:30implemented it and that’s it. Well,
45:33in short, what is presented as a "
45:34game-changer" doesn't necessarily have
45:36to be a true game-changer. Meaning
45:38we'll see in real life if it actually
45:39might be applied somehow. I have a hard
45:41time understanding how a jet engine can
45:42be applied to a car. In a regular one.
45:44>> It will clearly appear in military
45:46technologies.
45:46>> I think the military has already
45:48applied jet engines everywhere they
45:49possibly could and couldn't. Including
45:51to a soldier, like, let's strap on some
45:53jetpack and see how it flies.
45:55>> No, jet engines were bolted onto tanks
45:57in the Soviet Union. So that experience
45:59also existed, to speed them up. Imagine
46:02that,
46:03>> the last mile,
46:07>> right? So the thing here is that it
46:09ends up being very expensive, very high
46:11consumption, and it's not at all clear
46:13why that engine is needed there.
46:14>> But now there's a new wave of this
46:16technology. Now it's even more compact.
46:18And now there's compressed air.
46:19>> Well, energy doesn't just come out of
46:21nowhere. Where from?
46:22>> Undoubtedly, but technology doesn't
46:23stand still. Now we have electric cars
46:26putting out 1,000 horsepower. And
46:29that's the norm for us. For us 20 years
46:31ago, how much? 600 horsepower. Wow,
46:33cool. Inflation, this inflation—I
46:36don't know what to call it—
46:38technological inflation or achievement
46:40inflation is happening constantly. So
46:43that’s it, now you can shove a jet
46:46unit into a compact coupe. Mind-blowing
46:49.
46:49>> No, no, a jet unit can now be hidden
46:51under the format of a compact coupe.
46:53That’s rather what happened.
46:54>> Before, they shoved it into a tank.
46:56That's it, before, yes.
46:57>> Well, I don't see it, honestly. Now jet
46:59drones are flying,
47:00>> yes,
47:01>> also quite a compact thing. If we're
47:05talking about an unexpected application
47:07of a jet engine, our friends at RDRC,
47:09the guys who do drag racing, they use a
47:11jet engine to dry the track. They just
47:14have it on a cart hitched to a tractor
47:16or a Niva, like, a jet engine with the
47:18nozzle facing down, and they just dry
47:20the road. Rain passes, and they're like
47:22: "Well, start it up," and it's dry,
47:25you can drive again. Well, in short,
47:27opinions here will likely be divided,
47:29both in the comments and in general.
47:31But I feel this isn't a revolution,
47:33because most likely, if it were
47:35something revolutionary, it would have
47:37started in the military and existed
47:39there for a long time before eventually
47:41reaching the civilian sector.
47:43>> Well, I generally agree with him that
47:45it's unlikely to drastically change the
47:47automotive world, I mean, our everyday
47:50driving. I can see how, for example, a
47:52new, state-of-the-art solid-state,
47:54super-high-capacity energy storage
47:56could change the modern automotive
47:58world. I mean, some kind of battery
48:00that could actually provide 2,000 km of
48:02real-world range, for instance, while
48:04keeping the same weight. That could
48:07truly change the game. And batteries
48:09have improved over the last 20 years or
48:11so. Well, like we have...
48:12>> they continue to do so. I mean, those
48:13figures nearing 1,000 km, they are
48:15appearing more and more in...
48:16>> More and more often, yes, it really is
48:18happening, yes. And the most
48:20significant problem for an electric car
48:22, range, is becoming less and less
48:23significant. It still remains on the
48:25table that you could run out of charge
48:27at any moment, and people worry about
48:29that. It’s primarily a psychological
48:31thing. But one way or another. I mean,
48:32this whole thing really is progressing.
48:34How a jet engine will help in traffic,
48:37frankly, I don't really know.
48:39>> Well, I agree that, once again, in
48:41real-world use, in a real car, it’s a
48:43useless feature. I’m shocked that,
48:45once again, this technology did
48:47something I thought was impossible.
48:49Like, for a car to behave that way in
48:51the air. It’s like a sci-fi movie.
48:53This can't be real. But it is real.
48:56>> Yeah, I agree. In that sense, the show
48:58is magnificent. Yes. And besides, when
49:01I was watching the actual presentation,
49:02seeing it turn and then, well, land in
49:04line, like with all the other cars. I
49:07was like, "Damn, how many of those did
49:09they wreck?" Because it definitely
49:11didn't work on the first try. Yeah, I
49:13even saw some shorts somewhere showing
49:15how they tested a prototype, and it
49:16just went "poof" like that.
49:18>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And they
49:19probably just set up some boxes to
49:21simulate the other cars. They surely
49:23didn't use real cars.
49:24>> Vertical take-off and landing fighters
49:27also crashed in huge numbers before
49:29they learned how to do it. And that
49:31also caused a sensation at one time.
49:33But it didn't become a revolutionary
49:34technology; they aren't used in the
49:36military. By the way, what’s
49:38surprising is,
49:39>> you see, with the arrival of drones—
49:42both for reconnaissance and as a combat
49:44tool—complex, massive systems and
49:47sophisticated military hardware have
49:49instantly devalued, because a complex
49:52tank that costs millions or billions, a
49:54hell of a lot of money, is rendered
49:57useless by a few drones costing 5,000
49:59dollars, even if it’s not completely
50:02destroyed. You just need to hit the
50:05track or somewhere essential so it
50:07can't move anymore, and that's it. And
50:09your expensive piece of equipment is
50:11immediately devalued. Though, one would
50:13think...
50:13>> Uh-huh.
50:14>> One would think,
50:15>> it's like a guy who came to a sage and
50:17asked, "What's more important: to love
50:20or to be loved?" The sage thought for a
50:22moment and said, "What do you think,
50:23which tank track is more important: the
50:25left or the right?" The guy sits there,
50:27thinks, and says, "The right one." To
50:28which the sage replies? He says, "Are
50:30you an idiot? How can the right track
50:31be more important? Wait, get out of
50:32here." So, that's how we'll wrap up the
50:38rant about Tesla.
50:43>> Alright, since we're on the topic of
50:44new releases and rumors, let's keep
50:46going. Mercedes is preparing a new
50:48generation of the G-Class, with a
50:49recognizable style and many
50:50improvements. Actually, there hasn't
50:53been any real news, because there
50:54hasn't been any official statement from
50:56the company—no concept, no prototype,
50:58nothing like that. But the head of
51:01Mercedes AMG, Wackerbauer, comes out to
51:04the press and says, "Look, we’ve
51:06realized by looking at the feedback
51:08that a two-liter hybrid engine in a
51:10G-Wagon is probably not the best idea,
51:12damn it." Right. And sleek, rounded
51:15shapes aren't the best idea either. And
51:18the electric version didn't quite work
51:20out for us either. So, in the next
51:22generation, which we are naturally
51:24already developing, we will remember
51:26that we are developing a boxy cube with
51:28a V8. Don't worry. Essentially, they
51:31are already paving the way and starting
51:33to warm up the audience, telling them
51:35not to worry: the G-Wagon will be
51:37square, it will have a V8, and most
51:38likely, it won't handle well.
51:40Everything will be the same, just one
51:41and a half times more expensive,
51:42exactly as you wanted. You were just
51:43looking at me as if...
51:44>> No, no.
51:45>> Oh, Sar, do you have any more wisdom
51:46about Gels?
51:50>> Once, the tax office came to a guy and
51:52said, "What's better: anal or cash-out?
51:54" Yeah. And with that,
52:02>> and with that, our wisdom for this
52:03episode is all for today. Thank you
52:05very much for being with us. Bye.
52:10>> There was supposed to be a transition
52:11jingle here, but we ran out of money,
52:12so the people just left. Just so you
52:18know. Ah.
