BUNDYS GARAGE BUNDY HERE HEY TODAY I'M WITH CHRIS NOSALEK WITH ELECTRON AUTOMOTIVE IN
WHAT IS THIS ORANGE RIGHT YEP ORANGE CALIFORNIA THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME I APPRECIATE IT I
KNOW YOU HAVE A BUSY SCHEDULE TODAY AND JUST WANTED TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU CHRIS HAD DONE
A VIDEO WITH CHRIS FIX RIGHT YEAH I SAW CHRIS FIX VIDEO WHERE HE REPLACES A BATTERY ON A
PRIUS YEP AND SECOND GENERATION 2004 TO 2009 YEAH SO I HAD SEEN THAT VIDEO AND I'M ACTUALLY
IN RIVERSIDE WHICH IS 30 MINUTES FROM HERE APPROACHED CHRIS AND ASKED HIM IF WE COULD
YOU KNOW COLLABORATE ON A VIDEO TOGETHER AND HE SAID YEAH SURE WHY NOT LET'S DO IT AND
I KNOW WE TOUCHED ON THIS A COUPLE MINUTES AGO DO YOU THINK TESLA IS GOING TO MAKE IT
AS A COMPANY MY PERSONAL OPINION I REALLY DO THERE GREAT BUSINESS PEOPLE YOU KNOW THEIR
BUILDING THIS HUGE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE REVOLUTIONIZING THINGS I MEAN GOING FROM A REGULAR CAR TO
A TESLA IS LIKE GOING FROM A FLIP PHONE TO AN IPHONE IT'S REVOLUTIONARY BEST CAR THAT
I HAVE EVER HAD I STILL LOVE ALL THE OTHER HYBRIDS THE PRIUS THE CHEVY VOLT AND STUFF
BUT IT'S MY PREFERENCE HAVE YOU SEEN WHATS HIS NAME RICH REBUILDS ON YOUTUBE HAVE YOU
SEEN THAT GUY ABSOLUTLY WHERE HES BASICALLY HACKING INTO TESLAS AND TRYING TO GET INTO
THE SYSTEMS AND TRYING TO REBUILD THEM FOR PEOPLE AND TESLA NOT BEING REALLY COMPLIANT
WITH HIM AS FAR AS PARTS OR SERVICE OR TECHNICAL BULLETINS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT YEAH YOU THINK
THATS FAIR UNFAIR AS FAR AS TESLA HOLDING THAT INFORMATION BACK OH ABSOLUTLY UNFAIR
I MEAN IT'S DESTRUCTIVE TO THE FREE MARKET WE NEED COMPETITION OK JUST LIKE EVERYONE
DOES BUT IF YOU NEED SOMETHING MY OWN TESLA HAD A PROBLEM MY ENTIRE SCREEN WENT BLANK
YOU KNOW GOING ON THE INTERNET SEEING ROUGH PRICES TESLA WAS $2,500 TO GET IT FIXED ALL
I HAD TO DO WAS REPLACE A CIRCUIT BOARD SMALLER THAN MY CELL PHONE AND IT BROUGHT IT BACK
UP LABOR TOOK ME LESS THAN AN HOUR TO DO YOU DID IT HERE IN THE SHOP YEP HOW DID YOU GET
THE PART I GOT IT FROM ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS CRASHED THEY WON'T SELL ANYTHING TO ME OK
SO YOU HAD TO GO FIND ONE THEY WON'T SELL ANYTHING THERES VERY SPECIFIC PARTS THEY WON'T
SELL BECAUSE OF SAFETY SO YOU HAD TO GO FIND ONE CRASHED ONE YEAH EBAY NO I HAD A CONNECTION
OKAY HE WAS ABLE TO SET ME UP TOLD HIM EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON HELPED ME OUT AND GOT IT
GOING BUT I FELL THEY NEED COMPETITION BRING THE PRICES DOWN THEIR REFUSING TO RELEASE
SOFTWARE SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO SERVICE IT AT LEAST THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
OF IT JUST KIND OF UNFAIR TO THE MARKET YEAH ABSOLUTELY YOUR IT'S MONOPOLIZED WHEN SOMETHING
GOES WRONG YOU HAVE TO GO TO TESLA IF THEY WANT YOU KNOW $10,000 DOLLARS TO FIX PART
A YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS YOU HAVE TO GO WITH WHAT THEY SAY THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE
THAT ARE RISING LIKE RICH REBUILDS AND I BELIEVE THERES ANOTHER GUY IN BERKLEY I THINK CAN'T
REMEMBER HIS NAME NOW THERE BRINGING A LOT OF ATTENTION TO IT AND I LOVE THAT I THINK
THE MORE ATTENTION THAT TESLA GETS ON IT THE MORE LIKELY THEY ARE TO OPEN UP THERE SOFTWARE
TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHOPS LIKE US DO YOU SEE IN THE FUTURE ELECTRON AUTOMOTIVE BEING
A FULL TESLA SHOP AS WELL I WOULDN'T FULL TESLA IN REGARDS TO SPECIALIZING ON THEM EXCLUSIVELY
NO SERVICE ABSOLUTELY OK WERE ALREADY PERFORMING A LOT OF THE SERVICES NOW BUT WERE LOCKED
OUT OF A LOT OF OTHER THINGS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SOFTWARE YOU KNOW ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES
A FIRMWARE UPDATE OR A REFLASH WERE NOT ABLE TO DO AT THE MOMENT DO YOU HAVE COMPUTERS
THAT WILL TALK TO IT SEE IT OR I YES MAYBE MAYBE NOT NOT ON THE LEVEL THAT I WOULD LIKE
IT'S VERY PRIMITIVE OK BUT YES DO PRIUS I MEAN THIS IS KIND OF OFF THE SUBJECT DO PRIUS
AND LIKE HONDA ELECTRIC VEHICLES DO THEY USE OBD II YEAH ABSOULTY THEIR SYSTEMS ARE VERY
SIMILAR TO ALL THE OTHER CARS YOU KNOW THEY HAVE MAIN MODULES GATEWAYS BETWEEN THEM YOU
RETRIEVE ERROR CODES THE SAME YOU DO IN ALL OTHER CARS DOES TESLA HAVE OBD II THEY HAVE
A CONNECTOR THEY COMMUNICATE THROUGH A DIFFERENT CONNECTOR THEIR PRIMARY COMMUNICATION THROUGH
A DIFFERENT CONNECTOR BUT YES THEY DO HAVE YOU HEARD THAT OBD III IS COMING OUT SOON
YEAH THERES BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THAT FOR AWHILE IVE HEARD 2021 22 OK BUT I DON'T
THERES VERY VERY LIMITED INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET I'VE TRIED LOOKING IT UP BUT I DON'T
JUST YEAH THERES BEEN TALK ABOUT IT FOR AWHILE IM ALWAYS EXCITED ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGY YOU
LOVE IT OR WHAT YEAH ABSOLUTELY THATS WHAT WERE ALL ABOUT HERE ITS THE CARBURETORS AND
STUFF THAT I HATE BUT A LOT OF THAT PROBABLY HAS TO DO WITH MY INABILITY TO WORK ON THEM
THE PRIUS AND THE HONDAS HAVE A BATTERY PACK ARE THEY THE ALMOST THE SAME WEIGHT AND SIZE
OR ARE THEY DIFFERENT DOES ONE WEIGH MORE
