[00:31:40] S2: Like Yeah. Happens happens to the best of them. [00:31:44] S1: Indeed. Indeed. When sales began in 2023, prices started at roughly $61,000. That's not too bad. About 21,000 more than Musk's... Musk originally claimed. The CEO conceded that Tesla dug our own grave with Cybertruck. Yeah. There... There's definitely an intermediate design. It was also just so odd to just completely redo the design language and not bring any of that to the model y. Like, there is... Like, there are plenty of, like, boxy crossovers that look like even, like, a Range Rover, some Hyundai and Kia has been adopting more boxy language. The g Wagon has boxy language. You could pull some of that over. And they were like, no. These are two completely different brand styles. Right? And they and they introduced new model wise, new model... They did a whole refresh during the Cybertruck era and didn't bring any of that design language over. They could have evolved it more. I mean, guess they brought the light bar but that's about it. [00:32:51] S2: Yeah. But still no. Just give me a classic SUV. [00:32:56] S1: Yeah. Just a full size SUV that competes with a Navigator or an Escalade a Yukon or a or a Suburban. There's like so many. And I mean, it's the same thing with the f one fifty. [00:33:07] S2: But we gotta talk about the the Yangwang U9. Boo. The Yangwang U9 extreme Let me hit see. 503 kilometers an hour on a closed stretch on Abu Dhabi's E 11. Fatality. [00:33:26] S1: So over for... [00:33:28] S2: It's every other... 300 miles an hour. Yeah. This is gonna be...
00:33:28 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:33:28] S2: It's every other... 300 miles an hour. Yeah. This is gonna be... [00:33:31] S1: 500 kilometers an hour. That is... [00:33:34] S2: Just over 300 miles per hour. Yeah. Really really... [00:33:37] S1: That's Koenigsegg... [00:33:39] S2: Do they have a video of it? [00:33:40] S1: And do we know how much this costs? Like, what what what is it? The u nine extreme? Is that what it's called? [00:33:47] S2: Is this a production car? [00:33:51] S1: I don't know. I I I think it will be. I think it will be. Let's see. [00:33:56] S2: Is this the video? Let's see it. [00:33:57] S1: Let's see it. [00:34:03] S2: Warming up the tires. [00:34:05] S1: Oh, yeah. There you go. I saw this video. This is crazy. This, warming up the tires here. It's funny to be doing that, like, during your run and not have it... Not have the video start there. You know? Going up and down. So this is a $3,000,000 car, I guess, the extreme. So it is in Koenigsegg So not not competing with a Tesla Roadster anytime soon. Although, who knows where the... We actually have no idea where the where the Roadster pricing will land. But, yeah, Elon definitely has work cut out for him with the Roadster. If he wants to set a record here, he's gotta get it up to 300 something at least. And that was always debated with the Plaid. The Plaid was marketed as being 200 plus miles an hour, and I think people had some trouble getting them up there on road tires... On street tires. Tires. [00:34:55] S2: Yeah.
00:34:55 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:34:55] S2: Yeah. [00:34:56] S1: But it was certainly certainly possible. 20,000,000 won, 2,900,000 at the April twenty twenty six Beijing auto show. There's only 30 of them that have been have been produced. So interesting. Sort of like a one off stunt, but impressive impressive nonetheless. [00:35:16] S2: What's crazy is this E 11 Highway that they're on [00:35:19] S1: Yeah. [00:35:19] S2: Just, I think, goes between it goes between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Okay. Like, it goes all along the coastline. [00:35:26] S1: Mhmm. [00:35:27] S2: So they must have shut it down. So, obviously, they [00:35:29] S1: appreciate it. Look at those look at those, telephone poles going by. Crazy being the left lane. [00:35:36] S2: And they have crazy automated speed cameras all over the country. [00:35:41] S1: That is crazy. He's really pushing it. He's he's gonna hit it. Here we go. [00:35:49] S2: Really slowing down towards the end. Yeah. [00:35:54] S1: Incredible. Incredible demo of electric performance. That would be terrifying if you get in a crash. That's that's very, very fast. Hacker News was actually very bullish on the Cybertruck when it was announced. There's a comment here from 2019. There's a truck guy who's owned a lot of trucks and currently owns a 2017 Ram two, 2,500. [00:36:17] S2: He's a truck guy on hacker news. [00:36:21] S1: A Land Rover Defender one ten. I'm telling you right now, this is gonna kill it. This is the suburban status item of 2022. I wanna buy this right now. This has nearly the towing capacity of my Ram and will smoke my wife's Audi on the track.

[00:36:21] S1: A Land Rover Defender one ten. I'm telling you right now, this is gonna kill it. This is the suburban status item of 2022. I wanna buy this right now. This has nearly the towing capacity of my Ram and will smoke my wife's Audi on the track. [00:36:35] S2: Why are you taking a Cybertruck to the track? Or Fun. I mean, I don't know what Audi it is. [00:36:40] S1: I don't know. [00:36:41] S2: Audi. The whole thing is, like, if they could have made this product for 40 k, probably would have sold, you know, available.
00:36:51 · John Coogan
[00:36:51] S1: 40 k. I mean, the extreme the extreme design is still a choice. It's such a choice. Yeah. Like, you just limit your tan because, like, even though... I mean, the g wagon has, an iconic silhouette, but you... If if if you're in a community where everyone has one, you start wanting something else. You just want something a bit different. You just want a different style. And then also the the politics thing obviously really restricted it because you have you have the the like democrat community buyers who like the the environmental friendly angle and have the disposable income sometimes Yeah. Are like, I'm out for for political reasons. I forgot that Tesla's also a CPG company. They have a they have a tequila brand, Tesla Tequila. Vittorio has taken shots in your honor because he loves the Cybertruck. Let me tell you about Figma agents. Meet the canvas. Your AI agents can now create and modify your Figma files with design system context. The surf community is selling man made waves to homeowners. I know you're gonna have a lot of opinions about this. Waco Surf. It's a 500 acre development in Waco, Texas. Developers in states like Texas, Utah and Arizona are betting that man made surf lagoons will lure wealthy buyers despite high construction costs and steep monthly fees. So are you in search of a vacation spot for surfing with your family? Clint Tasset was. And he put down a $600,000 deposit last year on a $1,800,000 lot in Cabo, Mexico, a place renowned for its coastline but he doesn't plan on surfing in the ocean there. Instead, the $3,000,000 house he builds will be across the street from the beach at this location, the Cabo Rail Surf Club, a private residential club next to an artificial lagoon with a wave machine. In the lagoon, he won't have to wait for waves and battle other surfers. There will be no sharks, jellyfish, rocks, bad currents. He's promised multiple good waves a session as big or small as he wants. It's approachable, said Tasset 46 who lives just North of Denver and founded a digital marketing company. If you can lie on a board and move your arms, you can get in. He plans on surfing there with his wife and two kids aged 13 and 15. There's some interesting photos of them building this development.

Thanks to advances in wave pool technology, man made surf lagoons are becoming the latest amenity high end housing developers are using to lure buyers instead of golf courses, ski mountains or lakes. These develop... These developments often with custom built homes and members only clubhouses offer surfing is the main activity. Whether these capital intensive projects can be financially successful, however, remains to be seen. At least one planned project has already faltered. Are you... You're you're in favor of these? What do you think? [00:39:39] S2: Love wave pools. Yeah. Cannot imagine buying a property down in Mexico off of the beach right next to like a chlorinated pool and I've... And and this is coming from somebody who loves surfing. [00:39:52] S1: Yeah. [00:39:52] S2: I love surfing wave pools. Sure. I just do not... I don't understand. Like the ocean has so much more to offer than just surfing. Right? [00:40:00] S1: Sure. [00:40:00] S2: Sounds amazing. Yeah. Let me get in my car. I'm in Mexico. Let me get in my car and drive to the beach. Oh, yeah. Like you're you're buying a place in Mexico because you love surfing and Yeah. You're gonna be not near the... Like not near the ocean. Yeah. I don't I don't... I'm like I'm I'm very very confused [00:40:21] S1: I mean these by these brands. These make a lot more sense where they're like... They they they call out a couple other places that are... Where they're building them in a... [00:40:32] S2: So yeah, Waco Surf Waco [00:40:34] S1: Surf Texas.
