Can Our Infrastructure Handle An All-Electric World?
Can the grid handle a 100% electric world? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore the carbon impacts of electric vehicles and achieving zero emissions with chemical engineer for Union of Concerned Scientists, David Reichmuth. Thanks to our partners at Ford for sponsoring this episode. Learn more about the all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E® SUV at https://www.ford.com/suvs/mach-e/ What fraction of the overall carbon footprint comes from transportation? We break down air pollutants, particulate matter, and how the electric grid isn’t fully green yet. How do we achieve true zero emissions? David tells us about the Union of Concerned Scientists and their work trying to bring the voice of science to policy making. Is it more emissions to create an electric vehicle versus a regular car? We discuss the emissions of manufacturing and breakdown the idea of a strategic commodity. Can we stop relying on gasoline in the same way we stopped relying on horses? Learn about changes in our energy sources in the last century. Find out how long EV’s can go on one charge and the logistics of setting up infrastructure for electric vehicles. Why is no one “taking a drive” for pleasure anymore? We ask whether or not the grid could handle if everyone had electric cars. Would there be brownouts and blackouts from everyone charging their car all night? Are there ways we can make the entire electric grid smarter?

EVERY fast Tesla: DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free-1304 SIX Teslas in a drag race line-up? You better believe it! We’ve got our hands on every performance version of the Model S and Model X. From the P100D through to the Plaid, these are the six quickest Teslas money can buy. The question is, just how different is their performance? Let’s start with how they compare on paper. The Model S P100D rolls up with dual motors that combine to produce 671hp and 950Nm of torque. It tips the scales at around 2,100kg. As for the Model X P100D, its two motors combine for 534hp and 755Nm, and it’s a fair bit heavier than the Model S, weighing in at around 2,500kg. Then we have the Ravens. Both come with dual motors, and both the Model S & Model X produce 778hp and 1,140Nm. However, while the Model S weighs 2,255kg, the Model X comes in at 2,552kg. Then finally we have the Plaids. Both cars have ti-motors, and both produce 1,020hp and 1,420Nm. But just like the Raven, while the Model S weighs in at 2,190kg, the Model X is a whole lot heavier, coming in at 2,464kg. So it comes as no surprise as to who the favourite is, but just how different will the performance of these cars be? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Tesla Cybertruck v F-150 Raptor R: DRAG RACE
Pick-up truck fans let’s goooooo!! The Cybertruck is back once again, and it’s going head-to-head against one of the most powerful pick-ups money can buy - the Ford F-150 Raptor R! So let’s check out how these two almighty machines compare. Starting with the Tesla, we’ve got our hands on the ‘Cyberbeast’ tri-motor edition, which can produce 845hp and 930Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and if you’re looking to pick one up it’ll cost you around $96,000. It’s also pretty damn heavy, tipping the scales at 3,084kg!! Then alongside it we have the F-150. This Raptor R edition comes with a huge 5.2-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet that can put down 700hp and 870Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic gearbox, and this truck also comes in lighter than the Cybertruck, weighing in at 2,703kg. However, while it may be lighter, it comes with a heftier price tag, costing around $109,000! So will it be yet another win for the Cybertruck? Or could the all-American F-150 snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
