[00:24:15] S1: Where you want to go? [00:24:16] S2: Wildlife at our new LA Wildlife Bridge. Couldn't wait for the ribbon cutting. Really? A coyote has become the first documented animal to use the Wallis Annenberg wildlife crossing over the 101 Freeway. So again, we were once This guy. Minorly cancelled over over talking about this bridge, which we're very much in favor of. But effectively a mega project. Yeah. You know? This thing has been in the works for years and years and years and years and it seems... I mean, I'm kind of... It it feels a little feels a little cyberpunk, you know? You have this like massive structure and then they just try to trick the animals into thinking like this is just a normal hillside Yeah. Crossover. But really really fantastic news. I think it's, you know, coming in well north of a $100,000,000 for this bridge. [00:25:10] S1: Well, that's not bad. I I I... For some reason, had earmarked it like 10,000,000,000. So like if you're telling me it's a 100 mil, I'm I'm 100% Yeah. [00:25:20] S2: The crazy thing is I don't know how you actually get down because there's like a two story drop. [00:25:25] S1: Well, they're gonna build more of the bridge to like smooth it out. [00:25:28] S2: I... Crazy because it's like you you would Yeah. You would think that the right thing to do would be able to build like a bunch of small bridges, you know? But maybe animals... $1,000,000 [00:25:39] S1: bridges.
00:25:39 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[00:25:39] S1: bridges. [00:25:39] S2: Yeah. Maybe animals talk amongst themselves and they're like, yeah, there's an amazing bridge down the 101 over here. You gotta check... It's a little bit out of the way, but like it's just so scenic, you know. [00:25:48] S1: I wonder if the bridge is too narrow, the animals won't think that it's for them and it needs to kind of blend in and feel like a continuation of the the hillside there. But I mean, I... That they're... [00:25:59] S2: What if we built... What if we built... If built... Or more.... Thousands of animal bridges and and... But but had data centers inside them. Secret data centers. [00:26:08] S1: I would be very much in favor of building a bridge every mile at this size and scale or build build... Just cover the cover the freeways entirely. Just put them... I mean, you... If you can't build them underground You wanna be... Build them... Just build a... [00:26:23] S2: Constantly in tunnels. You don't want to... [00:26:26] S1: I don't care. I'll turn on the lights in my car. It's fine. I drive in the night all the time. It's no big deal. Like that does not matter to me at all. I don't I don't need... I'll I'll have... [00:26:34] S2: You want you want California [00:26:35] S1: to Turn earmark the entire one zero one [00:26:37] S2: You want giant... California to earmark a few $100,000,000,000? [00:26:41] S1: Yeah. Why not? We got the money. We got the people. We'll just build it.
00:26:41 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[00:26:41] S1: Yeah. Why not? We got the money. We got the people. We'll just build it. [00:26:45] S2: We don't. We don't have the money. The state is Unlimited. The state is broke. We're doing fine. We're doing fine. This is big. This is big. The Cybertruck is being scrapped. I It's crazy. Came in at the perfect time. I now have a one of 17,000. [00:27:05] S1: Wait. They only ship seven... Is that the actual number? How many did they actually ship with these? Because 17,000 is not a lot. I mean, that's... That that is actually somewhat limited. Where... [00:27:15] S2: They sold 20,000 in the last year. It's not limited at all. [00:27:19] S1: 73,000 since delivery started in late twenty twenty three. So you have one of 73,000. [00:27:24] S2: Yeah. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? It's going into... Going into 500.... In pristine condition for the next hundred years. Yeah. Hundred years. Yeah. Pull it out. [00:27:35] S1: Pull it out. [00:27:37] S2: Like a low mileage example, only one of 73,000. [00:27:41] S1: Yeah. It's really it's really disappointing. It's really disappointing because I was hoping that this would have enough... [00:27:48] S2: Chad is saying, CMC is saying, ah, so Jordi is a collector of sorts. Yeah. I... In favor of collecting things that you can have like a a wonderful experience with. [00:28:01] S1: Was really hoping that they would take this and be successful enough to do the Cybertruck do the three row like the Excursion Yeah. Built on the truck platform.

[00:28:01] S1: Was really hoping that they would take this and be successful enough to do the Cybertruck do the three row like the Excursion Yeah. Built on the truck platform. [00:28:09] S2: At the end of the day, I love the car overall. Yeah. It is really like horrible in so many ways. And should... Like, what I actually love about it is it should never have shipped. Yes. It really should never have shipped. The build quality is is really bad. It's like very dangerous. Like I'm I'm constantly kind of on edge when I'm around it, you know? I'm trying to tell other people that might be around the car like, hey, that's like effectively a knife's edge, like keep your fingers away from here or there. You can... And again, you can see issues with the car from like 20 feet away. Mhmm. And that's just like how the car came. So it really never should have shipped but I'm glad it did because it like looks completely insane. [00:28:52] S1: Yeah. [00:28:53] S2: It actually drives... Again, doesn't feel nice to drive it yourself. Yep. But when the computer's driving, it's it's it's really fantastic. Yeah. So I will cherish mine. And yeah, your options are just getting more and more limited. I know. If you if you wanna be in the... [00:29:11] S1: Gonna sell one car in a few years. Mean, I I guess they're just... I [00:29:16] S2: don't think it's I don't think it's ugly. I think it's like very unique looking and it's not for everyone and it's completely insane.
00:29:16 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:29:16] S2: don't think it's I don't think it's ugly. I think it's like very unique looking and it's not for everyone and it's completely insane. [00:29:24] S1: I mean, when this dropped, people were like, it will never ship looking like that. It's impossible. It's illegal. People were worried that the hard edges would cause, like, major damage in, to pedestrians. And I haven't heard about that many incidents involving Cybertrucks. I I don't... I still don't understand what you can get approved and what you can't, but what what a saga. They actually did ship it, and it's out there. In the end, few people bought the stainless steel Cybertruck, and now its days are numbered. Production will wind down next year. It is the latest indication of Tesla's swift... Shift away from selling traditional cars towards autonomous vehicles and robotics. Must Wow. [00:30:04] S2: So in 2019, they were targeting annual production of 250,000 a year or 250,000. [00:30:10] S1: They did not hit that. And also they were targeting like... [00:30:14] S2: And then they long term they were talking about 500,000 a year. [00:30:17] S1: Yeah. And what what wasn't the original price in the $40,000 range? 50,000? It was supposed to compete with like a Raptor or like a Ranger f one fifty. [00:30:26] S2: Yeah. Mean, I'm sure they could have sold an insane amount at that price range.
00:30:26 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:30:26] S2: Yeah. Mean, I'm sure they could have sold an insane amount at that price range. [00:30:31] S1: Yeah. But it's just too expensive even for them with all the with all the efficiency. But Cybertruck ditched the traditional boxy pickup design for sharp angles and stainless steel body said to be inspired by the iconic DeLorean DMC 12, the flying car in Back to the Future. Tesla's photos and promotional materials gave a hint of the Cybertruck roving around another planet, a clear nod to Musk's own space faring ambitions. Cyber Cup... So yeah. He said the entry level car, real wheel drive, rear wheel drive would start at $39,900. That is very very cheap for a four door truck. He claimed it could outperform a nine eleven and showed a video where it won a tug of war against a tethered Ford truck. The body was said to be bulletproof to a nine millimeter handgun with armored windows glass to boot. The first crack in the Cybertruck's image was a literal one at the debut. [00:31:29] S2: That was crazy. [00:31:30] S1: Tesla chief designer friends van Holz... [00:31:32] S2: It is amazing that every single iconic tech CEO has had like the most brutally botched demo. [00:31:40] S1: True. True. [00:31:40] S2: Like Yeah. Happens happens to the best of them.
