Have you ever considered something alternative
to air inflated tires?
Have you seen some of these alternatives that have essentially
spaces in between the upper wall and the wheel?
Have you thought about that?
Yeah, we haven't found a tire that--
because you've got to worry about road noise.
You've got to take out potholes and bumps.
You've got to have good grip, but you also
want to have low rolling resistance so that you get good range.
Those are a lot of things to try to put into one tire.
And if you also say, and it can't have air, it's like,
this is hard.
But you're talking--
I'm talking to a guy who's putting people on Mars.
You can't figure out an airless tire?
It's just-- it's an incremental constraint.
I'm not saying there won't be such a thing.
I think there will be, to be precise.
Because it seems like we've just gotten way too comfortable with this idea
that tires blow out and you get flats.
It's very annoying.
Flats are annoying.
Yeah, very annoying.
And non-sport tires, by the way, are much less likely to have flats.
Sure, they have more bounce.
Yeah, like let's say you hit the edge of a pothole.
If you've got more rubber wall, you've got a longer way to go before you pinch
the tire.
So, sport tires tend to have more flats, especially in LA potholes.
That's the worst.
Yeah.
Well--
There was one particular pothole on Sunset Boulevard.
It would just take out so many Model S, like a boom,
boom, both sides of the car.
Really?
Yeah.
Damn.
Yeah, Steven Spielberg was actually once--
it's like, hey, Steven Spielberg is like, two tires went.
I was like, goddammit, I know that pothole.
I feel like you can pay to fix that.
I mean--
Fix that pothole.
It seems like that's actually--
it would be like, man, there sure are a lot of taxes in California
for roads this bad.
Yeah.
It's--
The place is a mess.
Yeah.
Um, so--
so ultimately, one day, that's a possibility of having some sort of an airless
tire.
Because I've seen prototypes.
I've never seen one on an actual car in physical, in real life.
Yeah, I think we're--
the technology is gradually getting there.
Um, and I think for something like a robo-taxi, where you want to have the
tires last for a long
time and not go flat, um, it's going to make a lot of sense.
Yeah.
Um, but other than that, essentially,
most of what we saw in the demo is the same.
It's still going to have--
Now--
Oh, yeah.
There was the issue with the glass when it accidentally shattered.
How annoying was that?
That was shocking.
Yeah.
I mean, we literally spent, you know, hours beforehand with, like,
lots of people throwing, uh, steel balls at the window.
Right.
Um, I mean, we must have thrown at least--
at least a dozen people must have thrown steel balls.
At the same window, though?
Yeah, same damn window.
Isn't that the problem?
Yeah, it turns out that might be the problem.
If you keep throwing steel balls, eventually it's going to break.
And I did, I did ask Frantz to really wind up and give it all, you know?
And I should have, like, "Oh, take it easy!"
Yeah.
You know?
Give me a fake wind-up.
Yeah, we don't need the fastball.
But I asked him for-- I did ask for the fastball.
And I'm like, "Okay, let's go for the slightly, not slightly slower ball."
Do you think it was because you guys were hitting the side wall with a sledgehammer
first?
Yeah, yeah, that could be, like, we're trying to figure out how the hell this
thing break,
because, I mean, we were just bouncing steel balls off it all day.
Right.
And we think possibly what might have happened there was that, uh, hitting it
with a sledgehammer
might have cracked the base of it, and once you crack the base of it, it loses
all its strength.
Right.
Um, and then it would just have a hairline fracture, and then you hit it.
He hit it anywhere, it's going to shatter.
Did you recreate that?
We didn't.
It's also hard with, uh, test glass.
Like with, uh, you know, like when you actually do production glass, it's much
more robust than, uh,
demo glass.
Uh, because production glass, you, you, you know, um, you, like demo glass, you
just can't make,
you, you have to have, like, massive tools and ovens and everything to, to make
the production glass.
It's, it's like, and if you don't, you know,
you know, that takes a while to do.
So the production class is always better than, than the, than demo glass.
Um, nonetheless, it should have worked.
Um, and it was probably because we racked it with a sledgehammer and then threw
the steel bull at it.
Um, but, but, uh, it will be bulletproof to a handgun.
Now, why did you decide to do all that?
Make it bulletproof and make it like you could hit it with a sledgehammer.
Like what, what was the motivation to make it different than just like a Model
S?
I mean, I think, you know, it's like, what's cool about a truck?
Trucks are tough and like, okay, what's tougher than a truck?
A tank.
What about a tank from the future?
Okay.
Now you have a tank from the future.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's bulletproof.
Yeah.
And how's that compared to, you know, it's way tougher than a regular truck.
Look, it's fucking cool.
Yeah.
There's no doubt.
That's the only personal character from the future.
That should be like a halo with a rocket launcher in the back.
Have you thought about doing something like that?
Somebody's going to do it for sure.
For military use?
Yeah.
Seems like it.
I mean, I don't know.
That sounds like it'd be fun.
I mean, like, you know, cruising around the field and like loving shooting
rockets.
Now, is there ever a possibility that these things are going to be solar
powered?
Is that someday, is the solar technology going to get to a point where?
It's kind of a surface area issue.
So, I mean, I think we could possibly put the cover of the truck bed, you know,
put some
solar cells in that.
So, if you just leave it out in the sun, you know, probably, you know, recharges
a few
miles a day type of thing.
Oh, it would only be a few miles?
Yeah.
But what about one day?
Is it possible that technology could evolve to the point where they could
extract more?
No.
No?
Really?
No, it's a, so there's about one kilowatt per square meter of solar energy.
And then you're going to get, I don't know, probably 20, 25% efficiency.
So, you get 200 watts per square meter.
And then that's assuming that you're normal to the sun.
So, you know, like you're, you know, at right angles, basically like, are you
facing the sun or not?
So, you know, when you add all those things up, you say, how many square meters
can you really get?
And then how many watt hours per mile?
So, it has basically, if you could do 10 miles a day, you'd be lucky.
Really?
Yeah.
And that's not going to change?
No.
No.
