11:30 am
the spots, the cities check and some great cultural memorials to boot, dw, travel. we got the right now it's skill testers, world. everyone else has pay rent the well, this car mobs, us bring baggage through old hurry engine, but with a little twist to it. what does that mean? we'll find out right now. welcome to our a v graph. because the full name,
11:31 am
the master amex, the t sky, active reason why we 1st need to talk about of cause a lot a is a rotary engine. how does that work on like most combustion engines? we've pistons move up and down to convert pressure into rotational motion mode to re engines feature a radio layout that requires few and moving parts even though the amex 30 r a b has a rotary engine under the hood, eighty's power, it's purely electric. so it's a plug in hybrids. the car will always drive with the out of the $125.00 kilowatt electric engine. and the roller re engine would only have one job, and that is to provide energy to either fills a battery or to directly give it to the electric engine. the electric, my to drives the front wheel was right next to it is the generator which provides
11:32 am
the electric power within mental health from the adjacent to re, to re engine. let's talk a little more about the tag facts. we have a 17.8 k. the one all battery which is basically office big as in the purely electric version. the top speed is the same 140 kilometers and now i will make the dash from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in and just over 9 seconds. so it's by no means us for the car and not a fast one either. but you have to say this type of car plug in hybrid they are made for fuel efficient driving with out the fear of being stranded somewhere because the battery is empty. the amex that he comes in 3 different power train configurations. it debuted as an e, v in 2020 last as a mild hybrid model for japan and australia now says the re v. but why did mazda
11:33 am
twos a road to me instead of a piston engine? it's in the same engine compartment with a v model and the mild hybrid model. so this is about 18 percent space saving compared to the the risk locating engine since space and the car is limited. the compact rest of the engine fits easily onto the hood without the need to sacrifice passenger room. the amex, the, the r a b has 3 different dr. most that are normal charge and e b. s. you might have. busy s a v a is purely electric and it will use the energy from the battery until that one is depleted. so we're at 0 percent then the rotary engine kicks in and start charging charge would have cast. you can charge of the battery up to a percentage of fuel like a is something between 20 or
11:34 am
a 100 percent and 10 percent steps and sonoma because it will keep the battery as around 40 percent. so if you're over it, it will drive purely electric and once it drops to 40, it was stopped the rotary engine to charge. the base model comes with full l e. d lights and parking sensors at the front and rear 18 inch on the way wheels. a heads up display under review camera, a thing that takes some getting used to with the amex, the b r a v. and that by the way, it's also true for the makes the, the purely electric version are the so called suicide doors had the rear that opened into the wrong direction. but this technology has a minor disadvantage. and that is that you can open the re a door without opening the front door 1st. so if you want to let someone stop in or out, you 1st have to open your door. not very practical. on the other hand, to get into the car is easier because you don't have to be pillar that takes away
11:35 am
space. but the space in the bag is pretty small. android also apple carplay, automatic climate control and the high b, mrs. russo stand in the amex, the t r e b the interior of the amex 30 r e v is absolutely nice to look at. what i especially like is the fact that you don't have a huge touch screen in the middle. instead you have that small display that still has a decent size that you operate with this turning up and some buttons around it. the storage trace based cook inlay that prevents rustling noises. the climate control can be operated via a mix of touch into faces and physical,
11:36 am
but the general impression, i mean here it is quite dark. so some people might not like that. feel like they are trapped inside. and if you really don't like this type of k feeling, then you can still open the roof and he will be good. partially, digital pits provides all the vital info and then easy to understand the way truck capacity is 1172 is really if you have plug in high recalls and you step on the gas quite hard, you will have the engine that gets very, very loud because those engines are small, that means they will not be able to provide the power and they need to turn really, really fast, which makes them loud. the rotary engine, on the other hand, is quite silent. machine simply due to the way it is built, the monthly claims are purely electric,
11:37 am
are range for the r e v version of 85 kilometers a few drive in the city. and then it's will be way more than 100 kilometers. and that is more than enough to achieve the average distance to the originally to the purely electric range. of course, you can drive with the rotary engine providing more energy for the battery and for the motor. and then you would have a total range of up to $682.00. i'm at a festival. the range can be extended. no 70 by charging the battery. but we'll say by refueling the call at any gas station, we amex the d r a v is d as in car in the simple fact that's mots, managed to make a plug in hybrids by simply at thing this rotary engine to
11:38 am
a battery electric vehicle is quite impressive when it talking about range and consumption, it is nothing special. it is similar to all the plug in hybrids on the market. but the silence on the interior since the engine is so. busy so silent is really nice, especially if you consider that the car has a starting price of just on the 36000 euros in germany. that makes the amex the t r e v. a real auction basting sign and driving a high quality interior engine extendable range. on the downside space in the back row is small the message the single after. because you think password and it's list, ma'am you on most who made electric cars. cool. tough. those were the over $700000000000.00 and it's one of the largest
11:39 am
e car manufacturers in the world. but problems and it's big factories around the globe are raising eyebrows. water and labor are both big issues. we looked at germany, the us and mexico and ask, is the push to drive greener vehicles fueling various crises? we want to know what's the true cost of tesla? tesla is known as a disruptor in the auto industry. it's giga. factories are massive compounds like here in green, high that's a sleepy village, about an hour outside for when the facilities are designed to allow for faster and more streamlined production as tesla ams to produce there's like the vehicles. but all this heavy manufacturing on one site means concentrated water consumption. the tesla gig of factories started in the us where the company was founded in china and auto manufacturing dry and germany. most recently, texas giga, berlin, was a big step that was basically house the thing we're not scared down i've is, is a managing director at what bush security as an investment bank faced in the west.
11:40 am
i reached out to him because he's a big time task for watch or we're going for you receive these beam that'd be here and others. and that's part of the most month, which is hard to argue with. if you look a which been accomplished the last decade, while the joke and berlin at the time was that musk noted tech, no fan, just wondering an excuse to visit some of the cities most famous clubs. the location was excellent from us for many reasons. the factory was built at break neck speed, especially for germany, where your rock or c, approvals and commenting can move as glacial pace. it opened its stores in 2022. germany has a long history of auto manufacturing. so one resource that has an abundance as well trained workers on top of locations, smack dab in the middle of the u at the end, the day, the center of the auto industry, not just in europe, you know, many could say globally. so, bro, in made a ton of sense, as well as to, with just sticks of making cars in china and ship it in to europe,
11:41 am
which would just go disaster. that's why per, when has been so important terms that spider web logistically getting it throughout europe as well as from a cost perspective can be significantly less now. but one resource that is not as abundant as one might think is water, which is apparently laughable to you on musk back in 2021. when he was confronted with the idea that his factory might contribute to water problems, very blessed with your internet. and so much sports a look around you, but the local, the consumer watches the for the development. now this is completely wrong. it's like water everywhere here. a little seemed like a desert to, you know, to, to some of these states. i have a to say of some, some understanding for him because so though it's so sold off um, uh, in this price. this is martin puts his work, looks at waterway ego systems and management the bowman. how are your billing bit
11:42 am
plan? but yeah, we have a suite 1000 dates, so if you arrive by a plan, you would see like several, well, uh, so we are rich in lakes, but we are poor as well for resources. yeah. so this seems to be covered pictorial . so despite being known for lakes and rivers, canals and streams, ground water levels, and this part of germany has been declining for years due to climate change. so even as the needs of the area are increasing water levels are sinking. and now on the edges of the most populated city in germany, there's a mass of giga factory and that concentrated production, it also means concentrated water consumption. not to mention this area and grew and height is actually in a water protection zone. and there's another problem. the kind of soil that exists in this part of the country, which is really sandy and almost like a sieve, while it allows rain water to quickly reach aqua furs. the sandy soil also makes it easy for pollutants to drain down and contaminate drinking water. in case such
11:43 am
point attends would to the ends of the excess a it could be that's a spoiled and make an use of both of drinking water purposes. sense the completion of the factory. there's been intense scrutiny. german magazine. stan reported about a battery accident starting a fire and contaminated water seeping into the ground. or in 2023. the magazine also reported about an illegal filling station that leads to $150.00 leaders of diesel quote uncontrollably. these are just a few of the reported instances. authorities also seem slow to criticize the company and only for these cases involving many different chemicals of state environmental authorities, ordered soil samples to be taken. but is this simply a culture clash between an american company and german bureaucracy? so the classical american approach, so oh, i'm a, i'm out of the set, the law. i'm going westwards. i'm using uh, an area. and then if i've,
11:44 am
i've been using it then i move, forgot to, um, i saw the uh, so this is all, there is no possible sense or your so be uh, limited in space. yeah. you have to deal all the more carefully, but so the space and the resources. and that's why we have these so typically, um, yeah, freights medical regulations. it would only be fair to mention that the 1st company to build a factory and a water protection area in germany was mercedes benz, about a half an hour away from the tesla site. but it's not just the u. s. first germany issue around the world. the customer has a rocky history with environmental regulations. the l. a times reported about fines for a california facility amounting to $275000.00 from the federal environmental protection agency. it's not only environmental issues that the various tests of factories have in common, but also building in areas with water problems from the phone, which is worldwide known for. although the problems takes us the same. um,
11:45 am
and also in china and young, you know, some higher even there is, let's say, you know what, the volume of the quantity is so bad that, uh, do you all know that the difference of visual drinking lots of the out the, let's look on the other side of the us border test was currently planning to build another dig a factory here. and the state is more heavily on mexico. that plant could open in the coming years. but one big problem in february 2020 to the state where that facility will be located, declared a state of emergency due to the drought. there were 2 of the 3 dams that supply the metropolis of monterey recording. historically low levels. but as of now, justices of still moving forward with the facility in web only on the next the goods and for him because of the low cost. sure, uh chip reduce what i believe will be a sub $30000.00 vehicle. next goods. really the only choice and that's why we just agree where it is relative to us. that makes a ton of sense. this area outside of monterey, like the area outside of berlin,
11:46 am
has an existing automotive sector, but companies that supply american manufacturers like this one, the company key is already operating in the state for example. so tesla could also be looking to court talent and take advantage of the infrastructure already in place. 80 percent of the exports of delta in the state goals to the united states. and he, he's around $15000000000.00 us dollars per year of a production and exports of out of pods and some promotional beatrice then. well, montoya heads the automotive cluster as well. leon and in comparison with with mexico, a noble young is one of the main estates that for the uses the cause of the box. montoya says water concerns are quote, challenging for existing companies. the points to new plans on the horizon and already in the works. the governor of the web only on unveiled
11:47 am
a $1250000000.00 investment plan designed to ensure the states water supply through 2050 to invest and water infrastructure like new pipelines and a new damn. there's more water coming to the city and the state governments on the, on the, however, the plan for the next 20 years to, to supply that, what are the, not only that companies propose for the population with needs for the next 20 but nearly 5000000 people live in metro area, monterey, there has already been water supply rationing and recent years. with media reporting that some water truck delivery drivers have even been threatened with kidnapping in a time or climate change is adding even more stress here in germany. tesla's environmental record is raising concerns about an activist. environmental is always been a push pull for tests so that they knew to navigate. clearly the green need churned
11:48 am
her was going to active vehicle july writers spotlight. but it's a work in progress. so how do these brace, engine planned build ups fit into the global test strategy? the plan facility and mexico and the giga factory build up in germany will help tesla compete on costs. even us traditional carmakers turn to use. and while chinese companies like b y, d start to ramp up outside of china. but let's look a global sales test when they have brand recognition, especially in the west. the china is gaming with b y, d, making massive strides in 2022. their sales more than tripled compared to 2021 and with german carmakers dw lagging behind. and 3rd place you id. they continue to compete with for maybe a global share perspective. but when you think electric vehicles, you think tasa, and that's been a big part of their success. right now it's still test is world everyone else is
11:49 am
paying rent relative to globally. now to dublin, down on that. that's why germany, what they've done to giga berlin's shown works. so not only are germans and americans making tesla's, they're buying them to over half a 1000000 were bought in the us last year. but another big buyer is sweden. so in these countries where tesla's are parts for the cars are made or serviced, there's one rest like in sweden where workers are protesting. swedish tests and mechanics have blocked off the job. though their number is small, the movement has sparked solidarity efforts across not only sweden, but also denmark. dock workers are refusing to unload test flows and for weeks the postal service refused to testify. deliveries. the swedish mechanics want the company to sign a collective bargaining agreement, which would let them negotiate for higher wages, pensions, and the like. workers' rights are an issue in germany to german media has reported numerous concerns among giga, berlin, employees,
11:50 am
about working conditions. from the usa, especially from the ceo, probably comes a lot of pressure to, to deliver numbers to the, to produce cause and to sell those costs. and yeah, and in the end to provide the numbers for the sale with a spread so, so that the stock goes up and so you can buy in of a way to or whatever you want to go. not, hey, man is a member of the id metal union in germany and was employed by tesla. must company has so far, blocked unionization, that it's factories, but it works. council is in place. i get factory, berlin, and non union nature. it's been part of the success of the past. i've been there not. i wouldn't say i have the overhead and that some of these other automakers have by having meaning. and that's really how must built it. and i don't see that changing tensions by you aid. that'd be, and others that will go after him. but the good to be of the different drugs. and that's been
11:51 am
a big part of their success being non union. we wanted to know what did the people who live in and near good high to think about the factory and the working conditions. it is difficult, i mean, but i do think that it is like, do you think problems attempt to solve be sold in the future? yeah, i haven't, yeah, i've noticed ambulances drive up there every day that people are injured quite often isn't the kidney. and i, we know someone who used to work for tesla to do like a quit straight away because it didn't work out in each 6 up. i don't think he even got work close. tesla made a world wide posit, around 12 and a half $1000000000.20. but what is the true cost of buying one of these futuristic cool all electric vehicles? well, hosting a giga factory brings jobs, but also working conditions that can lead to injuries like here in germany and a factory with such a large footprint can also stream local resources and make regions experiencing
11:52 am
drought face even greater limitations. tesla has been an innovator for years, so there's still room to improve. and water usage or working conditions could actually be another frontier that this american company confidently and strides into the . and it's not about august on a car collection like no other raj, i'm much i hit stuff was passion knows no bounds from pop culture. james, to historic machines. his for the strong fleet is a model that far hills from a wealthy family in rubble, penn date with a background in real estate. he himself works in agriculture, capital, funding, and fishing. as a young boy, he runs witness the classic hall being dismantled, the glint of shining metal was resistible to him. and a passion for old machines was sparked. the i was about
