0:02
7-eleven here on International Drive as
0:04
the recording of this Saturday March
0:07
16th
0:09
2024 I have a piping hot caffeinated
0:12
beverage spoiler alert I did not buy
0:14
this coffee from the 71 I got it from
0:16
the celebration one and I got some new
0:19
glasses here I think they were like $15
0:23
very very
0:30
metal I figured it'd be appropriate to
0:30
start the
0:33
video right here at the South Concourse
0:36
where it says Electrify Expo I see an
0:40
electric vehicle going by I'm heading to
0:42
a convention today of the electric
0:46
persuasion welcome everyone Adam the woo
0:49
here and all the years I've been around
0:50
this area never realized over by the
0:52
convention center is a Orange
0:55
County Fire Station back over in here
0:58
right here off the offramp on ey Drive
1:00
Convention Center over there now I own
1:03
two electric vehicles one of them being
1:06
my gy E2 and I also which is a glorified
1:09
golf cart more or less and then I also
1:12
have a scooter that plugs into the wall
1:15
which would be electric don't know if
1:17
I'm going to purchase anything today but
1:19
there's going to be a Cavalcade of non-
1:22
gas powerered
1:23
Transportation
1:25
devices I'm going to just do a little
1:27
window shopping even though I think it's
1:29
outdoors so there probably won't be any
1:31
Windows except on the electric vehicle
1:34
cars maybe I'll see something I've never
1:36
seen before maybe I'll go home with
1:38
something maybe I won't nonetheless
1:41
whatever happens I'm inviting you to
1:42
join
1:44
me it's good to have you here shall you
1:48
South Concourse is what I was told to be
1:50
on the lookout for by that sign back
1:53
there so I'm rolling with some 7-Eleven
1:56
coffee and 7-Eleven sunglasses both
2:01
purchased at the 7-Eleven
2:08
celebration looks like they're having a
2:08
Pet Expo in here too I don't have any
2:11
pets but if I did I'd probably pop in
2:13
there and check that
2:15
out I guess I still I still could walk
2:17
over there and see what's going on
2:26
too little overcast today a little
2:26
dreary not too sunny which I'm fine with
2:29
probably won't get us on burnout since
2:31
this is an outdoor event I believe it is
2:33
$20 admission I don't know what they're
2:35
going to be watch watch Parking be the
2:37
same price as admission I'm going to say
2:39
it probably
2:40
is cash only payment at to to boo hey
2:44
that was untrue they took credit cards
2:46
it was 1065 he asked what event I was
2:49
here for I said the electric Expo said
2:53
1065 he held out the credit card scanner
2:56
I did have
2:57
cash but it has seemed as if they only
3:00
wanted credit cards even though the sign
3:01
said differently I don't know if I've
3:03
ever seen one of these this is a VW bug
3:07
definitely a different
3:09
style never parked over in this area
3:11
before this is not the back side of
3:13
water it's the
3:15
backside the Orange County Convention
3:17
Center right on International Drive and
3:19
I was just saying how it's overcast
3:21
little cloudy over that way but behind
3:22
me the sun is coming out as soon as I
3:25
got out of my car the sun was like
3:27
beaming down on my neck so I could be
3:29
wrong maybe the sun will pop out yeah
3:31
it's showing 76° at the moment it's
3:33
going to warm up to 81 by 1 p.m. it's
3:37
not showing range just showing just
3:38
showing it to be overcast 3:00 the sun's
3:40
really going to pop out with 84°
3:42
probably won't be here that long now I
3:44
think the event ends at 5 right now it's
3:47
1110 well look like they're starting
3:49
some demos out there or probably already
3:51
have
4:00
started ooh all right I got to find
4:00
where the entrance to this thing is it's
4:01
all gated
4:02
off there's two options there's already
4:05
have tickets you can purchase them
4:06
online there are $20 online I believe
4:08
$20 at the door there was a code you
4:11
could use to save $5 but in order to use
4:14
that you had to fill out a whole thing
4:16
with email whole process I thought you
4:18
know what I'll just save that $5 and
4:20
just show up here I knew it wasn't going
4:22
to sell out I didn't think it was going
4:23
to sell out so I've just opted not to do
4:26
the already have tickets this way but to
4:28
go through the box office
4:30
over that way take a look at this thing
4:32
look at this little
4:35
car wouldn't the ultimate irony well
4:37
irony might might not be the right word
4:39
but if there was a really tall electric
4:41
vehicle that
4:43
destroyed cuz they didn't abide by this
4:45
low overhang and took out one of these
4:48
solar panels isn't it wouldn't it be
4:50
ironic don't you
4:53
think I think I'm using the word irony
4:55
right all right there's a little bit of
4:57
a line over here you got the little
4:58
checkpoints to go in and all that
5:01
general admission tickets is what I'm
5:02
looking for right down
5:09
here North America's largest e-mobility
5:09
Festival all right no outside drinks
5:11
allowed even though the event is outside
5:14
so got to polish this
5:17
off oh yeah and a lot of events I've
5:20
noticed that sometimes when you purchase
5:22
tickets ahead of time it's a longer line
5:25
than if you just go up and buy tickets
5:27
it's kind of hit or miss you never
5:28
really know if that's going to be the
5:29
case
5:30
but the line is like three times as long
5:32
for those who already bought tickets
5:33
than it is if you just walk up and
5:35
purchase the tickets it was like a comic
5:38
convention I went to recently that was
5:39
kind of the same one all right
5:40
underneath this T I'm overhearing some
5:42
of the workers I guess we have to fill
5:43
out a
5:45
waiver before I can walk in here well I
5:48
have to fill out a waiver just me here
5:50
all right all done it actually ended up
5:51
being
5:52
$24.99 so it was $24.99 I filled out the
5:55
waiver they said even miners have to
5:58
sign the waiver but I forgot to bring my
6:00
pickaxe and my mining helmet to go
6:02
through caves but I still had to still
6:04
had to sign it also no smoking I'm not a
6:06
smoker so it doesn't really affect me
6:07
but signs signs everywhere is signs
6:11
what's the what's the something about
6:12
cigarettes blocking up the cigarette
6:14
something in my mind do this don't you
6:16
know what that that song is by Tesla and
6:18
I bet Tesla will have something out not
6:21
the band but the company will have
6:22
something out here and I still did have
6:24
to give an email even to purchase the
6:26
ticket I like why do you guys need my
6:27
email I could mean if I would have
6:28
bought the one on so of course I gave my
6:30
email John to at fletch.com and
6:33
take a look at this where in a normal
6:35
car where the engine would be they're
6:36
giving out complimentary Waters over
6:38
here in the front of this thing this is
6:41
a Ford Mustang electric vehicle also
6:44
there are BMW is represented here as
6:46
well upgraded model starts at 35k which
6:50
is kind of what a normal car costs in
6:51
the same Ed O the rivan these are
6:54
freaking nice right here look at this
6:56
they got the got the little room up
6:58
there for the the bicycles these things
7:00
have some serious serious power I have a
7:03
buddy who gave me a ride in one of these
7:06
and let me tell you this thing's got
7:07
this thing's got a little kick to it a
7:08
little little punch behind it yeah very
7:10
roomy got of the surfboards up top
7:13
there pretty nice pretty dang I don't
7:16
know if I'll ever buy an electric car I
7:18
like electric stuff but I don't know
7:19
like for road trips and stuff I don't
7:21
know if I don't know if it's my time to
7:23
get an electric car yeah they even have
7:25
room for in a fullsize tent up here you
7:27
can go camping on top of of it wait a
7:30
second you could go camping up there you
7:31
pull that down they just climb it to the
7:33
top look at that that's
7:37
wild you climb up the ladder and the
7:40
ladder acts as a stability mechanism for
7:44
the tent
7:46
itself
7:48
right yeah these things are freaking
7:52
awesome wow look at that backup camera
7:55
got a little chalk outlining outlining
7:58
down here got a little sque an octopus
8:00
supposed to be a rivan right here and
8:02
possibly a mascot of some sort right
8:05
here yeah maybe is this like rivan or is
8:07
it the Electrify Expo mascot I'm not
8:10
really sure either way either way it
8:12
almost looks like it looks like big the
8:13
foot's brother oh got some uh some merch
8:16
got a little swag action over here take
8:18
a look and see what they got right there
8:21
got the the logos the elect all things
8:25
Charing got have
8:27
thatting but uh here from anchor anchor
8:31
is uh they've got some really cool
8:32
products as it relates to powering must
8:35
be another atom yeah definitely the
8:37
Tesla area is super super super busy in
8:41
CR it's a beehive of activity in here I
8:43
see why they have the Cyber truck in
8:45
here right here designed to be the
8:47
world's toughest truck and there is a q
8:50
line to look at now instead of waiting
8:52
in that line with all those people to
8:54
get a photo I just decided to walk
8:55
around this other side to get a little
8:58
bit better View at the side cyber truck
8:59
itself yeah that thing is pretty dang
9:02
cool I don't mean you if you were
9:03
driving one of those things down the
9:04
road you would definitely get it was
9:06
definitely a conversation started and
9:07
you get tons of people would constantly
9:09
be taking pictures of your car it' be
9:11
like driving a
9:12
DeLorean what's with the ice
9:15
coffee
9:21
sa why would they just give out hot I
9:22
mean I guess it is
9:30
flge a little podcast over here
9:30
C like I need to use it for a moment but
9:33
also too you can you pair something like
9:35
let's say again sh Amazon and you solar
9:40
solar kit and you can that
9:43
battery yeah absolutely that's that's
9:46
awesome I've run I had a hurricane
9:48
happen two years ago whatever it was and
9:51
I had a couple of our you're also like a
9:53
product tester you have like 45 around
9:55
the house something like that may 45 no
9:58
that's actually that brings up an next
9:59
the next good point is for those who are
10:00
looking
10:03
against oh man look at these super 73
10:07
well at least that's what that says take
10:09
a look at these they're like little like
10:11
dirt bike motorcycles but I guess
10:13
they're electric yeah I mean I guess it
10:15
yeah have to be electric right here at
10:17
the the convention that involves all
10:19
electric yeah it's called a super
10:21
73 right here please do not touch you
10:24
get really close to touching but don't
10:26
don't touch there's also the jack rabbit
10:28
there's a little area called the Jack
10:29
Rabbit Grand Prix over here where you
10:31
can test out these kind of like little
10:33
small electric bikes called the jack
10:34
rabbits right there you go around the
10:36
cones there slogan is Tiny But Mighty
10:41
right here look at this Tiny But Mighty
10:44
that's like a
10:46
Gong like The Gong Show here I like the
10:49
idea of the dirt bike like a electric
10:51
dirt bike that that right there would be
10:53
hard for me to fit oh this is like the
10:54
uh it's like a bar well it's pink I say
10:56
it's Barbie it's like a Barbie uh
10:57
miniature on top of the full
10:59
oh that even says Louis Vuitton down
11:02
here very stylish got the baby girl on
11:05
the side right
11:06
there yeah baby girl Tesla that's what
11:09
this is called look at this
11:13
thing I wonder if this probably comes
11:14
off too you can probably wonder if this
11:16
thing cruises around as well ooh Pink
11:19
Panther back in the back there the I
11:21
love Barbie button like a little uh like
11:25
an award it's a major
11:27
award I little camera mounts on this one
11:30
right here this little not sure if this
11:32
is it for sale or it's a display or a
11:35
promotion thing or maybe they're just
11:36
using it for the event oh yes golf
11:40
carts golf carts
11:43
Galore this is called the vent telli now
11:46
one of the major reasons I bought my gem
11:48
E2 is because it has a VIN number and a
11:50
tag on it and everything like that in
11:52
celebration it has to be licensed and
11:54
registered and insured so that there was
11:56
plenty of other options I could have got
11:58
for Glorified golf golf carts but I went
12:00
with and you could have got could have
12:02
got a regular golf cart and modified it
12:03
to have the tag on and have them put you
12:05
know modified it put a b number on but I
12:07
just went with the gy 2 because it is
12:09
already set up for that and I really
12:11
liked it when I test drove it oh yeah
12:12
here's another camper on Top This is
12:14
called the ey camper it's on the back
12:16
right here look at this thing I mean
12:19
this is freaking awesome is that like an
12:21
air conditioner vent that goes inside
12:23
the tent or maybe I don't know what that
12:24
is I think it's like an air conditioner
12:25
vent that goes inside the tent you got
12:28
the little seats out front here little
12:30
mobile camping boy the game has
12:34
changed the game has definitely changed
12:37
since I was living in the
12:39
van sunk
12:41
it there's a tent just a regular tent
12:44
right there you've got to be kidding me
12:46
100% electric super air naque or nautic
12:49
boat right there 100% electric boat into
12:52
the Outdoor Recreation Area even though
12:55
the whole event is
12:58
outdoors
12:59
again this is the North America's
13:01
largest e-mobility
13:03
festival and I didn't even really know
13:05
about this until a few days ago we got
13:08
the ebikes going by here people testing
13:11
them
13:12
out not as far as a regular bicycle goes
13:15
I kind of like just having a a regular
13:18
pedal powered bicycle but the whole dirt
13:20
bike thing the off-road thing oh man
13:22
that would be pretty nice like those
13:23
ones I was looking
13:24
at look at those are so freaking cool
13:28
looking does it still I wonder if it
13:30
feels like you're really riding a bike
13:32
when you're on one of the I mean I know
13:33
you're riding a bike but does it really
13:34
feel like you're really doing anything
13:37
yeah I guess a motorcycle you're doing
13:39
something there's a pretty good turnout
13:40
out here too there's actually quite a
13:41
few people look at this
13:44
thing ad motor it's like a trike get
13:48
some go get your groceries on
13:59
it from this point you can only walk
13:59
which I'm walking but if you were on a
14:01
motorized device you have to stop there
14:04
and just take it on
14:21
foot these are similar kind of similar
14:21
to the ones I have different brand
14:23
but all right this one's wild the wheels
14:26
on this almost look like the same
14:28
diameter wheels that are on a one whe
14:31
type of item but this one has got like a
14:33
little golf cart a little uh golf bag
14:36
rack in the back but it definitely has
14:39
that same Vibe as like the onewheel
14:44
wheels there's a Porsche right there and
14:47
I kind of feel like you never know in 5
14:49
10 years or even less 5 or 10 years it's
14:54
probably going to be pretty pretty
14:56
overwhelming how much everything will be
14:58
Electric
15:00
it's the wave of the Future Okay more EV
15:02
demos this
15:10
way a lot going on out here oh so these
15:10
are not cars parking these are
15:14
automotive demonstrations that you can
15:16
wow you can fullon
15:19
drive any of the
15:29
cars this is expansive setup I can see
15:29
why they're doing this Outdoors
15:35
now yeah they're trying to you know take
15:38
the easy ride all right here's the line
15:39
to take a ride in the car you feel the
15:42
power of the Ford I am a Ford guy I've
15:45
had Fords for a long
15:50
time so
15:52
quiet really
16:00
wild
16:00
like a
16:07
glove I was just listening in on the
16:10
conversation over here Kia I believe
16:12
that is say it's probably like a 2030
16:15
minute wait or more to be able to get in
16:18
just to go in and some of the ones
16:20
aren't accessible so it's kind of I will
16:22
say luck of the draw with getting
16:23
whichever vehicle you need to get in but
16:26
some of the ones have a longer weight
16:28
than others
16:30
paraphrasing what that guy was saying to
16:31
the people that are waiting on on E
16:34
skateboard demo
16:37
Zone probably one
16:40
Wheels things like that and skateboards
16:43
first time I ever saw an electric
16:47
skateboard was back I believe it was
16:49
2015 I went really down a deep Rabbit
16:51
Hole started watching a lot of Casey
16:53
neistat when he was in New York really
16:55
kind of really stepped it up stepped it
16:58
up a not when it came to like daily
17:00
vlogging then a lot of people started to
17:01
kind of emulate him and then he retired
17:03
from doing the daily he still does
17:04
videos occasionally but I was really
17:06
into stuff and he
17:08
really I think he promoted drones
17:12
and electric skateboards probably more
17:15
than any other YouTuber at that time so
17:17
that's where I first saw one I think I'm
17:18
too uncoordinated and a little too old
17:21
to be attempting to try to do an
17:23
electric skateboard I've always thought
17:25
maybe a
17:26
onewheel might be a little easier but I
17:29
don't know I I think I think I'm past my
17:31
Prime when it comes to stability on a
17:33
board and to be completely honest I
17:35
never even really had stability on a
17:37
board so no reason to start now I like I
17:40
like a scooter that you can hold on to
17:43
or an electric cart glorified golf cart
17:46
even though this holy cow this is pretty
17:48
dang
17:51
awesome little gy in there yeah did
17:54
you so doesn't really need a kickstand
17:57
it kind of just stands on
18:00
how' you like the uh the skateboard
18:02
thing what's the starting price on these
18:05
it was cool I would use it over what's
18:08
the starting price on these2 how much
18:10
3200 3200
18:22
4,000 we not ding the they're not test
18:22
driving3 and $4,000 starting
18:26
price way feel comfortable the
18:29
pyramids the
18:31
pyramids I like they provided lots of
18:34
shading for people who want to just kind
18:36
of enjoy being out of the side got the
18:38
fora Juice company right there got a
18:42
whole
18:43
caade two
18:45
trucks yeah definitely a lot going on
18:48
out
18:55
here that's almost like a q line for
18:55
cars just testing them out going around
18:59
two two oh that was pulling in pull it
19:03
into the station for whatever
19:06
reason maybe that P person is going to
19:08
purchase one or maybe
19:15
not is this like a whole
19:16
lineup nonstop testing
19:24
going wonder what the band
19:27
Tesla thinks about the popularity of the
19:31
automobile
19:37
Tesla for the aventor that created the
19:37
Tesla
19:39
coil I think he's he's passed away many
19:41
years ago though so he probably doesn't
19:42
have a thought process on
19:49
it get that turn
19:49
radius very very
19:52
quiet it's like almost like eerily
20:12
yeah this is definitely the most awkward
20:15
highlight of the whole event right here
20:17
the cybertruck though I mean the tires
20:18
are huge the whole thing is
20:21
just very you don't really yeah it's
20:23
definitely I don't want to say an ey
20:25
swore but it's eye-catching very
20:27
eye-catching
20:29
I guess it has its purpose I don't know
20:31
what the purpose is but yeah I mean look
20:32
at the size of the tires down here the
20:34
tires are even the tires are a statement
20:37
yeah you don't really see uh you don't
20:38
really see tires that look like that too
20:39
often on the
20:40
road you good the Cyber truck you can
20:43
even see the emblem right there in the
20:45
front from test I think that had more of
20:47
a cyber truck and this is the line to
20:51
wait to get into the other line over
20:54
there to get the cyber truck it's
20:56
probably a good 20 30 minute we get a
20:58
photo in inside the Cyber truck all
20:59
right leaving the convention now but
21:02
evidently it stretches out here too
21:04
where you can test the bikes a little
21:06
board there goes around follow the path
21:08
around I think I'm going to walk around
21:09
the front of the convention
21:30
center also nice little tie in this is a
21:30
thin film laminate System Solar PV
21:34
system one all these out in front of the
21:37
convention center are also solar panel
21:40
solar panels right
21:42
here made the full circle around the
21:44
convention center
21:49
proper where I was
21:49
attending is over there my car is over
21:57
here now if I had electric scooter I
21:57
could have scooted around the entire
21:58
Convention Center building even though
22:01
there's more Convention Center buildings
22:03
farther down I driveing this is the main
22:05
one and then where I went was in the
22:07
parking lot now as far as electric stuff
22:10
I don't know if I'll ever anytime in the
22:12
near future buy an electric car I kind
22:14
of like having a gas car and the reason
22:16
for that is when I do go on road trips
22:19
now I'll preface this by saying if I
22:21
ever bought one if I ever stopped taking
22:24
my own personal vehicle on road trips
22:26
and traveling let's say I only rented a
22:27
car for Road trips I would like to have
22:29
a gas vehicle simply
22:31
because for me it's a time thing you
22:34
want to when you're driving you want to
22:36
just pull over fill the car up and go
22:38
not have to look for a charging station
22:40
not have to go through that whole
22:43
process but I can see how it would be
22:45
very
22:46
beneficial for people who are just local
22:49
if you're not going to do a lot of
22:50
traveling in it now I know
22:52
they there is a definitely a an aspect
22:55
of oh you can still travel you can still
22:57
find you can go on the little screen and
23:00
find where the Chargers are there's
23:01
superchargers and things like that but
23:03
if you kind of want to go out in the
23:04
middle of nowhere go into the nether
23:06
regions of the US into the desert
23:09
sections last thing you want to be doing
23:11
is trying to find a charger and then
23:13
Park and then oh I you know got 30
23:15
minutes 45 minutes I got to go get
23:17
something to eat and kill some time and
23:19
all that kind of stuff so for me I think
23:21
it makes more sense for me in traveling
23:23
to have a a gas vehicle for now but my
23:25
opinion could change now I will say
23:29
localized it does make it does kind of
23:33
make sense to have one that you could
23:35
just pull in the garage charge it you
23:37
know if I was go to the theme parks if I
23:39
was to just drive around to Orlando even
23:41
drive a couple hundred miles and come
23:42
back you don't have to worry about
23:44
finding a charger I could see that
23:46
aspect being very very very very
23:50
appealing and I also kind of like the
23:52
offroad dirt bike electric thing I'm
23:54
going to look I'm going to look more
23:55
into those but didn't buy anything today
23:58
and I don't know if I'll ever buy a one
23:59
wheeel like again I don't think I'm
24:01
coordinated enough for a one wheeel
24:03
nonetheless that's going to do it for
24:04
today I appreciate you watching I'll see
24:07
you in the next video the
24:08
Vlog I saw the Cyber truck in the wild
24:12
first time I've ever seen it with my own
24:16
eyes the Vlog is over
