- 0:46Speaker 1: Colls anytime, Texas, any time, Payne. Why are you so frustrated?
- 0:50Speaker 1: What happened?
- 0:50Speaker 4: Well, I went to Tucson last week. I was telling
- 0:53Speaker 4: you guys, I went to Sweet Tomatoes when I was
- 0:55Speaker 4: out there. But I actually drove my mom's electric car
- 0:59Speaker 4: out there because I have a slow leak in my
- 1:01Speaker 4: tire and I just didn't feel like risking the hour
- 1:03Speaker 4: and a half drive with a slow leak. So I
- 1:05Speaker 4: take my mom's car and it's charged up. But when
- 1:07Speaker 4: I'm kind of done doing what I have to do
- 1:08Speaker 4: in Tucson. I realized I have to charge this stupid car.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Yep.
- 1:13Speaker 4: So I'm looking online on these i'ms trying to figure
- 1:16Speaker 4: out how to work the cards sending me to all
- 1:18Speaker 4: these dealerships.
- 1:19Speaker 5: I'm like so confused.
- 1:20Speaker 4: Thank gosh, someone was there, like one of the sales attendants,
- 1:24Speaker 4: and he helped me plug it in and do whatever.
- 1:26Speaker 4: I had to wait an hour for her card to
- 1:29Speaker 4: charge just to bring back home. It actually worked out
- 1:31Speaker 4: pretty well because I just ubered from my car too
- 1:33Speaker 4: sweet tomatoes and ate for an hour and then came back.
- 1:36Speaker 4: So it worked out fine. But as I'm trying to
- 1:38Speaker 4: do it, I'm like a Gascar literally takes you three
- 1:40Speaker 4: to four minutes.
- 1:40Speaker 2: In your your way. That's the biggest problem I had. Plus,
- 1:43Speaker 2: if you have, like with me, if my iPhone gets
- 1:46Speaker 2: like below half on the battery, I start freaking out.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Throw that with an electric card. Now, I've had three
- 1:51Speaker 2: of them now, and it's the same thing. You can't
- 1:53Speaker 2: get the Tucson and back without having to stop seeing Yeah,
- 1:56Speaker 2: so frustrating. It's so it's just.
- 1:58Speaker 5: Like an income convenience stuff we don't eat is it.
- 2:02Speaker 5: Is it a test? Letl No, it's not a test.
- 2:05Speaker 6: They have like the superchargers which actually charged really really
- 2:07Speaker 6: fast twenty thirty minutes. Yes, you just planned your life
- 2:14Speaker 6: around it. It's like you know what I mean, you
- 2:16Speaker 6: just got.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Like, well, it's like the other day I was coming
- 2:17Speaker 1: in here and I was running.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Let I was already running, like coming in here and
- 2:21Speaker 3: I had I had like thirty miles left and there
- 2:23Speaker 3: was a gas station. I had thirty miles left and
- 2:25Speaker 3: get my tank. And I was like, I'm already running late.
- 2:28Speaker 3: I can still do it. Yeah, so I pull get gas.
- 2:30Speaker 3: I made it here just a time. But it's like,
- 2:32Speaker 3: I don't That's what I mean. That's what I mean.
- 2:35Speaker 3: That's so many ways. So pay what kind of car
- 2:36Speaker 3: is it?
- 2:37Speaker 5: It's an Audi, like an electric electric.
- 2:38Speaker 1: OUDI okay, so you go.
- 2:40Speaker 3: So here's the thing too, like the fact that you're
- 2:43Speaker 3: charging it and then you have to uber to go
- 2:45Speaker 3: get something to eat.
- 2:46Speaker 2: So it's not like, you know, like your gas is
- 2:49Speaker 2: cheaper than an Uber right probably, yeah.
- 2:52Speaker 3: I mean driving your own car to the restaurant in
- 2:55Speaker 3: your Uber from your house.
- 2:57Speaker 6: But a lot of the charging stations are in complex
- 3:00Speaker 6: is with restaurants and with stuff like that. Now, because
- 3:03Speaker 6: you're really not supposed to sit in your car while
- 3:05Speaker 6: your car's charging. It's like super exposure to radiation.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Have you been to that culvers like on the way
- 3:10Speaker 2: in Maricopia covid it's got like like thirty different charging
- 3:14Speaker 2: or maybe it's a chick filt. No, it's a Culverts,
- 3:16Speaker 2: but they're no, it's a chick fil A.
- 3:17Speaker 5: I know exactly which one you're talking about.
- 3:19Speaker 4: My mom told me to go to that one when
- 3:20Speaker 4: I couldn't find a stupid charger place.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Yeah, there's probably thirty chargers there, but people are all
- 3:25Speaker 2: in them.
- 3:25Speaker 5: Yeah, so what do you do?
- 3:26Speaker 1: You take this car?
- 3:27Speaker 3: You take this car, you put in the charger thing,
- 3:29Speaker 3: and then you go to Uber, you eat, you come
- 3:30Speaker 3: back and is it done?
- 3:32Speaker 5: It was, Yeah, it was done enough to get me back.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Well, what's enough to get back to youse?
- 3:35Speaker 5: I needed the.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Car to be at one hundred and seventy miles for
- 3:38Speaker 4: me to get home with enough charge that my mom
- 3:40Speaker 4: left it. And what did you have with I came
- 3:43Speaker 4: back literally like I was almost perfect.
- 3:45Speaker 5: I left the house with like, so she's got to
- 3:47Speaker 5: plug in.
- 3:47Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a charge at the house, so they
- 3:49Speaker 4: just plug it in at the house.
- 3:50Speaker 5: And it is what it is.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I wondered, but so incoming.
- 3:52Speaker 3: I know, Kyle, you love your car and you're I'll
- 3:53Speaker 3: pro your car, but I'm just wondering because the purpose
- 3:56Speaker 3: of it was to save money on gas, I think, right,
- 3:58Speaker 3: So does do you think you've saved money on gas?
- 4:01Speaker 1: But what about the charge? Do you have to pay
- 4:03Speaker 1: when you charge?
- 4:04Speaker 6: To me, yeah, bucks to charge for an hour, and
- 4:06Speaker 6: that's probably like during that's probably during prime time. But
- 4:10Speaker 6: when you're doing it at your house, you do it overnight,
- 4:12Speaker 6: and the electricity is very like it's very inexpensive, so
- 4:16Speaker 6: it's probably like two or three bucks if overnight, you
- 4:20Speaker 6: know what I mean.
- 4:21Speaker 1: I just so far, there's so many things to me.
- 4:24Speaker 6: Actually, what I've what I've come to like think is
- 4:26Speaker 6: like the thought of getting an electric car. Before I
- 4:28Speaker 6: had an electric car, I was like, I don't want
- 4:30Speaker 6: to have to charge every night. I will forget. I've
- 4:31Speaker 6: forgotten a couple of times. But it's actually more convenient
- 4:35Speaker 6: that I don't ever have to stop at a gas station.
- 4:37Speaker 6: To me, it's like it's like plugging my phone in
- 4:40Speaker 6: at night. It's the same thing so to me. If
- 4:42Speaker 6: I had to stop at a gas station now, I
- 4:44Speaker 6: would be so annoyed.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say this.
- 4:47Speaker 3: There are a lot of electric cars that I like
- 4:50Speaker 3: the look of them, and I'm bummed or not gas,
- 4:52Speaker 3: Like I would have a cyber truck if it was gas.
- 4:54Speaker 3: The new Volkswagen Bus I love, I love those, but
- 4:59Speaker 3: I want it to be gas.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I don't want to let it.
- 5:00Speaker 3: I feel that, I think, I think that I would
- 5:02Speaker 3: do whatever's wrong where the battery kills you.
- 5:04Speaker 2: You're no technology. You can barely work your computer over here.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I know you can't even get your email. Yeah, this
- 5:08Speaker 2: is not for you.
- 5:09Speaker 6: Like not used to charge it to one hundred percent
- 5:11Speaker 6: every night?
- 5:12Speaker 1: You're not?
- 5:13Speaker 6: Yeah, because then the life, the long life of the
- 5:16Speaker 6: battery runs down quicker she charges like eighty eighty five percent?
- 5:19Speaker 1: Can you have it stop at eighty percent? Like if
- 5:22Speaker 1: you go to sleep?
- 5:22Speaker 5: You just said it, man, you know I've all said
- 5:25Speaker 5: it every night. You said it one time and then forget.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Does your mom love her car? Peyton?
- 5:29Speaker 5: I think she does like it.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Were you frustrated? Did you call her and yell atter?
- 5:33Speaker 3: Mom?
- 5:33Speaker 4: I would have I usually do, but no, because I
- 5:36Speaker 4: was happy about my sweet tomatoes detour, so it was
- 5:39Speaker 4: not true.
