This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Yo what's up we are now here with much Goosebill my sponsor thank you and also The plan the plan is back well actually We never took a whole story about what The heck happened but um Okay I need to ask you Marcus and what Happened with the plan Uh I was taking the car home with me and Just that one night uh in the garage big Garage at my new private place The whole garage got floated with water Never been so much water in 15 years and So I feel the water is coming I sold the old business place because of Water problem and now it's come to my New private home so it's no uh oh yes it Happens Insurance case it was the it was Hunt right the storm hunts the storm Hunts and uh uh I was thinking it was Water here but maybe the water was going A little bit more up so uh the Connection to the main battery uh was Corroded uh so they really had to change The whole main battery so it was so much Work and take the car out the insurance So uh I lost even more ahead because of This problem okay but but okay so this Was it was covered by insurance at least Oh thank God it was around 280k around 28 000 Euros yeah yeah Around 27 000 Euros really expensive

Repair but then at least insurance Covered it so that's good and the plot Is now back do we see any signs of the Damage or anything like that or how is It no we just the uh We opened here with the jump starters And you see a little bit uh Um what they've been working inside here With the 12 volt battery inside but you Don't see see anything so But but I forgot to tell you so so there Was a big ass prepare uh we couldn't Cover it because it was you know Tesla They don't allow you to film but the Plot has a new battery now hmm I wonder If they reset the BMS I need to uh check It out hook on scama Tesla one day and Then my friends joke with me is only 75 Batteries so it's no hard driving and no More speed so we just have to drive with The 75 Battery one year before we got The real battery yeah but we'll see how It is then within with the plan now Branch Banking new battery How the degradation or I need to look at The numbers you guys also probably want To see because this car at least has Done uh was it 10 or 20 000 kilometers Now remember 25 25 000 you know it's been all over the Place everyone has been in there you Know it's like a yeah okay I shouldn't Say it in the video Yeah but okay so yeah the plot is back

At least Um eventually I need to borrow it again And do some more tests but I feel like Maybe the Plaid stuff has been almost Kind of used up now But I heard that we are still not done With the plant because you you have Something you want to show me yeah I was Going to you the next day so Oh look at that oh I forgot to show you Guys this aftermarket but Oh yeah round steering wheel what an Upgrade that's funny man in the Tesla You have to upgrade to a round steering Wheel so Missy do you have okay you Still have the blinkers there Um uh yeah and even the horn is still Not here it's there Yeah so uh yeah so we're gonna put on The round steering wheel in the plant And then I'll test it and see how much Better it is and even one more thing What is this what this does Oh I see lots of dust It's for Frankenstein so you know that Um yeah Marcus he had that interior and This is the center console thing for the Leaf The Missing Link yeah Um and the whole what the heck did You do here oh we need to clean This up full of Schmutz but but here Um the new seats they have hit there and You have the switch for the heater here Heated seats and supposedly uh Voldemort

He can then do some some He can do some some work uh with with Frankenstein because originally you know Frankenstein does not have the 12 volt For the See that heated seats but I think he Would just pull 12 from somewhere so we We need to upgrade it that will also be Another project yeah so besides testing New cars we also have to test all cars Retest old cars we must do more old car Project yeah because Bionic ionic music classic ionic yeah Because I think maybe we need to tease One more thing is that I asked much Because first I asked Marcus hey you Guys probably know some of the story uh Do you want to buy Millennial Falcon and He was saying yeah I'm not sure I also Asked Nasir and I asked and they were Like yeah not sure and then I was like Yeah but you can rent a milliona falcon You know Marcus he he thinks like a Businessman and he was like wait wait What if someone borrows Midland Falcon And then the millennial Falcon breaks Down uh halfway to trooms uh well in Winter what do you do then right yeah Well yeah that's that's a good point but I think you already you you you have a Plan you have a plan maybe yeah so You're considering yeah you want to buy Him right yeah we want to buy it and we Want to see if we can get some of your

Followers who wanted to rent a Millennium Falcon so maybe we'll do uh About 10 to 20 during one year so it's Not too much Um it will be free charging uh three Kilometer and so we want people to come From three four weeks and want to do Have good time and and Rent Millennium Falcon but he gave it a Name the name yeah but you know you know What okay because you are concerned About the breakdowns in the middle of The Falcon but did you know that the the Videos with the most views in my channel Some of them they are the one where Stuff fails Tesla fails but what I'm Afraid of that you have to go to rescue Mission and I have to babysit home at Your place No okay but if that happens okay if I'm Available yeah uh then we I might go on A little Rescue Mission yeah but you Know we should just if stuff happens Just like what happened in the past with Optimus Prime melon the Falcon MC Hammer You just have to milk the situation yeah And whatever happens is part of the Story yeah but I mean in Nasir he Replaced half of the undercarriage it's Not going to break down anytime soon So so you know we should be fairly safe There as long as the thing I think the Point is that as long as you maintain The car don't don't let it in front of

What they call it for father you know Don't let it let it degrade then Normally it should not break down for no Reason and the ground cables and all This common fault is has been done on The car so it's uh it should be a pretty Reliable so if you have a good time and Want to see Norway I think it's a top Car in good space yeah so so yeah we Should definitely try to do something Like that and there's also some huge Things we need to do with the Millennium Falcon maybe inspect a little bit the Door handle was repaired but they still Semi broken the the the rare one it pops Out when it's out when I'm driving I Think we should do a rebuild of all the Door handles so just to be sure it's not So much work they have this after thing They do with it so yeah yeah and this Time we will uh use we will go to um Volume Yeah so he can do that stuff and then We'll see so yeah that would be a more Upcoming and also want to know you guys Are you guys interested in in renting Millennial Falcon It would be you know it's it's not just A car it's a legend it's the legend you You renting out your friend your family Member yeah yeah pretty much it yeah Yeah yeah kind of But okay and also another thing I'll Point out here yeah

Electric Vehicles As Electricity Consumption Soars

When shoppers evaluate electric vehicles, the spec they fix on first is usually an EV’s EPA-rated range. That’s understandable, as it helps determine whether the car is a fit for their driving needs and habits and where charging will be available. But there are other factors to consider, such as the efficiency of an EV’s battery and the cost of refueling.

Electric cars are consuming electricity at the same rate as homes, and that growth can strain power grids during extreme weather linked to climate change such as long heat waves or devastating storms. Many utilities, including Seattle City Light, are working on ways to expand their capacity so they can handle the expected increase in EVs.

One option is to use EV batteries to serve as backup power, something that some electric car owners are already doing. The Reigards, for example, use their Tesla SUV to keep the lights on and refrigerators running during extended power outages. But they’re among only a small group of people currently doing so. Many energy and auto experts expect more people to tap their EVs’ batteries for backup power as the technology improves.

EVs also may be able to help balance the demand for electricity when it’s peaking at different times of day by serving as a market for excess renewable energy production. That’s the theory behind vehicle-to-grid technology, which would allow EVs to charge during off-peak hours and send back power to the grid when demand is high.
