It's because chevy is helping honda
Gotta think ford did bury mazda
Rare Earth elements aren't actually rare. They're just not found often in concentrated enough deposits for any mining company to turn a profit sifting through the dirt.
And they usually occur together, and they're so similar chemically, that it's difficult to smelt them out.
That is especially if they are sifting through American dirt. It is a multi-multi million dollar expense just to get PERMISSION to mine & that takes 10 yrs. That is why as of my last reading there is only 1 operational lithium mine in the whole U.S. Between the government & the environment for profit Corporations Americans are pretty safe in betting that we'll be getting our REE's from some place else for quite a while.
@@charleswalter2902Also why 90% of China"s fresh water is unusable due to pollution, they have no regulations really.
@@AnX8765 google it, we can't exactly link anything due to CZcams. Per "Frontiers of Environmental Science and Engineering" There are articles stating 70-80 percent of usable water is polluted and has poor quality due to heavy metal and chlorinated organic compounds. Also important to note most of their water is obtained from aquifers. Theres articles from other news agencies about this issue as far back as 11 years ago.
I sure do love your sense of humor!! Thanks for another great video and the laughs!
Costco changed its policy about tire installation in Canada last summer, they used to charge for it and I had a quote from them for a set of BFG TA KO2 just before they did. I ended buying them online and had them installed at Costco. Two weeks later, I had a blowout on the highway as I drove over an overpass with a huge pothole because our roads are so poor here in Quebec.
Despite not being covered "officially" against road hazards, I managed to have it covered by Michelin. So I ordered the replacement tire at Costco and had it installed under their new policy as they had changed just a few days before. It ended being cheaper than from the discount website and they do offer a hazard warranty (which is very useful, even with brand new LT tires here).
My plan is to get rich selling 5 gallon cans of electricity to stranded EV owners.
OMG! 🤣 Brilliant Comment!!!!
It's simpler than that, just get a really long extension cord.
If you have one on a roll they can even continue to recharge after driving away.
@@RWZiggy Tesla sells a 300 mile extension cord...
@@Kurtdog63 hope it's orange so no one trips on it
That's the original, Transformers Cartoon!
One thing is finding the mineral, another things is getting it out of the ground. EPA rules are tough.
EPA rules are also very stupid. I'm not advocating a bunch of lithium mines across the beautiful state of Montana, but the EPA is mainly there to weed out competition for big business. Just look at the gas guzzler I drive, now, because EPA regulations wouldn't allow me to have a compact pickup truck.
Yet somehow we have cancerous chemicals in the world's water supply (dupont, 3M, etc). Didn't do a dam thing for palestine ohio
They'll loosen the regs for this. Rules for thee but not for me.
Yes they are tough, sometimes to the point of being nonsense. Remember the Animas river 4 million gallon contaminated mine wastewater dump? The EPA itself caused that huge shitstorm. then refused to pay damages to any of the farmers, tribes, state departments of fish & wildlife that were effected by this spill.
Wanna know why this spill happened? The EPA totally disregarded the advice that was given by the expert geologists that IT had hired. That among other things is why I believe that the EPA is a joke.
The main reason China's leading on stuff like this is because they don't care if they poison a million acres for a thousand years to dredge stuff up, cook it down, etc. The reason First World countries buy rare earths from China and coltan from the Congo is largely because we wouldn't want the consequences of mining and processing it cheaply here. IDEALLY, we don't sh!t where we eat. Ideally. Not that it's so great to make someone else live like that, but so it goes.
Glad to hear Scotty Kilmer giving the people at Consumers' Reports kudos @3:30 for their work. While I am not a cheerleader of the group, I support them by buying their annual new cars issue.
I got my tires done at Costco. I made an appointment ahead of time online, and they took me right in when I arrived.
Same for me at Sam's Club. No complaints.
Mileage varies. I've had terrible experiences with Costco, and I'd never use them for tires, myself. I used Discount Tire until they put the wrong size tires on my girlfriend's vehicle (which damaged her wheel wells when she made the first sharp turn afterward) and were determined to charge me extra to take the tires off and put the right ones on. Turns out a little private shop near me is cheaper and better than Discount Tire, who were cheaper than Costco. It's a pain to shop around, but . . . .
Off subject much?
@@danepickens508 Scotty talks about Costco at 5:00 in, you pay attention much?
We've had these RE deposits for a long time but until the EPA eases up the the "thorium issue" forget it.
@3:55. This is hilarious! A gas van coming to repair a broken down Tesla!
Why does that surprise you? There are no EV tow trucks built yet. Be real. EV don't break down on the road more than Petrol (ICE) vehicles---that is a myth. EVs don't catch on fire more than Petrol ( ICE) vehicles. Facts and real statistics tell the real truth. Sorry, I like Scotty, but he is biased and anti EV here. Why wouldn't he be? He is a petrol mechanic and biased. I live in Southern Ca. Know lots of people with EV, including my neighbors and they love their EVs. I have a friend who has a model S by tesla one of the first one produced and it still has 95 percent of its battery life that he bought in 2012. It is still in perfect condition. He has only had to change the tires, windshield wipers since he has owned it. Even better, he gets to use tesla chargers for free as long as he owns this vehicle taking advantage of that program Tesla offered with the purchase of the early model S. Do a head to head comparison with the actual cost of owning and operating an Ev and compare it to owning a petrol vehicle. Ev cost less to own and operate over time than gas vehicles. Facts speak louder than Scotty's anti Ev opinions.
@@garydmercer Well, I’m sticking with my paid for 2020 RAV4….. and as Maxwell Smart once said…and LOVING IT!
@@garydmercer Not true, last winter during cold snaps hundreds of EV were in line and dying at charging stations where I live. Dead robots, LOLZ. ICE cars were driving around fine, and of course only needed 4 minutes at the pump to "recharge"
What a farce. Yeah you live in mild climate, most the USA is harsh for EV.
@@garydmercer EV doesn't need a tow truck when a gasoline or diesel truck can come with diesel generator to charge up the EV. LOLZ, fossil fuel to the rescue.
Some of us just cut out the middle man and drive things that go 500+ miles on a fossil fuel "charge" that we can do in under 4 minutes.
Wow this video is packed with great info! 👏
I've had good experiences at discount tire. Super fast service. The discount part was missing though.
I live in a highly polluted country and it's not pleasant. The government and the people just don't care to clean it up.
Stay clean, free, and healthy.
The US does a great job but we are crippling our power capabilities and manufacturing in consequence
we are one planet tho , wat happens in one polluted country
Of clean, free, and healthy - which one is most important to you? Without hesitation - it's free - for me! The others can be worked on afterwards...
Been using discount tires for years no problem. Appointment in and out in a hour.
Same here.
Keep in mind, it all in who you talk to. Sometimes Scotty misses the mark with his opinions. I have been using Discount Tire for a long time, no problems. Don't get your tires mounted at Walmart, bad experience and they wont fix the problems they cause. Kind of like he has no idea what the word "woke" means, the person he is talking about is anti-woke and anti-freedom of thought or speech.
Better than Costco for tires, definitely, but you gotta keep an eye on them. They sometimes aren't paying enough attention, so doublecheck you've got the right tires before you leave the lot.
Our DiscountTire promises 30 min install if ordered online
Same here. They have good prices on wheels too.
And the companies making the RE finds in Wyoming are foreign. American Rare Earths Inc. is Australian. Rare Element Resources Ltd., is Canadian.
As an Australian, I approve of the ARR company base, and more so, the location of the mining. However, USA companies & people are buying shares via OTC in New York City. How long before its headquarters moves like News Corp did?
ARRNF is a 95 million market cap stock. REEMF is a 35 million market cap stock. Both are over-the-counter microcap stocks. They're going to have to spend millions to get EPA approval. I'd buy $10 of them, but they're not even on Robinhood. I know many companies will also overestimate their discoveries to boost stock prices.
@@brianvogt8125 We sure don't want News Corp, and Australia's suffered with a number of mining companies we sure don't want in the U.S., either. Frankly, Australia shouldn't have to put up with them.
Scotty mentioned about the gear hunting of automatic transmissions. Another reason, to go with manual and be happy forever.
As much as I hate autotragics, some cars are better with them. Take the modern Mustang GT, for example. The 6 speed manual transmission in the GT is horrible. The MT-82 has been redesigned many times and is still trash. It's currently made in China, so that explains some of it. It used to be made in Mexico, which was a better variant but still not great. The GT's 10 speed automatic however, is very good.
I have an 02 Saturn sc1 with a 5 speed and love it. I’ll never get rid of it lol
love the Tesla Rescue Vehicle... I'm laughing with you Scotty... LOL!!
I agree Scotty,
My shop raised their tire mounting prices too. I learned to do it myself with a tire machine! I buy the weights, break down the tire and mount them myself in half the time between driving and waiting. More than half your day is shot.
I have to listen to Scotty to see how long 2022 Honda cars are. My 24 year old Toyota is still running strong so I’m not in the market for a new car right now.
Just keep it. New cars are pluged with stupid sensors for everything.
Honda is a mere shadow of their past....they should merge with GM
I just gave up my 25 yr old Honda Odyssey. It was without serious fault all that time.
I love this dude. Such a wealth of knowledge.
Who wants Scotty as their mechanic ?
Me.
I would hire him
Don't be SILLY ...
Who doesn't ??? 😁
As long as he doesn't put gas in my vehicle Although, my car is turbocharged, he might have a meltdown on first sight.
Not me. He changes his mind on what’s good or not, from day to day.
I had tires installed by Costco recently. You can make an appointment to bring it in either online or by calling. They had mine done in less than 30 minutes.
Costco only stocks top brand tires that cannot be found for much less. Thats why they can do it. They dont offer other tires.
They also give free "nitrogen air" refills if you bought tires from them. The catch is that you have to show your membership card.
The waiting at Costco is just the tip of their problem. I have used them a few times, to mostly good results, but only in the cases where I had no tire issues. The worst problem is when you have a flat or a tire that is beyond repair, is getting another tire that matches what you have. The delivery time on waiting for your correct tire can be extreme to not even getting you back the right tire bc it is now not one they have access to. So now you have spent 600-over $1k and you don't even have a set of match tires. That stinks!
Take that into advisement.
@@bradrehnstrom1068 Ya, so far I have never needed Costco priced tires. The equal tires I get for $130-140 Costco has for 180-220. Price is built in.
@@bradrehnstrom1068 I’m not impressed with Costco’s tire department. The service is lackluster at best. You can get Michelins at good prices when they’re on sale though. I’ll buy tires from them, but have them put on at another tire shop. Sam’s Club and Walmart are pretty good for tires as well. I got a set of Goodyears for my Silverado at Walmart last year for roughly $600 out the door. A pretty good deal all things considered.
Scotty forgot - BMW does not (and never has, except perhaps during wartime) manufacture trucks.
BMW is (1) Motorcycles since 1923, (2) cars since 1928, (3) aircraft engines during WW1&2, and (4) marine engines for periods in the past.
I bet you dollars to donuts BMW will start making trucks to appeal to Americans. That's why they made SUVs ") lol.
Except that many SUVs are classified by the state[s] as a B Truck. Illinois puts this on the license plates. Of SUVs. So, there is a semantical argument to be made between "technically," "practically," and "legally." I would say that I prefer the "practical" argument of: does it have an actual frame underneath? If so, it's *practically* a truck, example: Ford Explorer from early 90s to 2010. It is not technically a truck, but practically and legally, it is. For BMW, I have no idea if their early SUVs had actual frames or not.
As an aside, IMHO, a 90s/00s Explorer is more of a real truck than the new Mavericks, because FRAME. 👌
So, do any BMW SUVs have frames?
@@InvertOtaku-os9lj ... but back to Scotty's subject - the vehicle used to deliver BMW parts. BMW does not make such a truck. SUV is just a small shed on wheels.
BMW only makes unibody SUV's, including the original X5. That's why they called them SAV's (Sport Activity Vehicles). Even the few in-shop prototype trucks were unibody trucks, such as the M3 truck with backside lopped off.
They make vans.
There's no place in Montana without a speed limit. I believe the feds got them to change that by threatening to withhold highway funds from Montana. The current highest legal speed in the USA is an 85 mph speed limit on one highway in Texas.
You can go 85 but it's going to cost you. The tolls on that road are up there. There are signs that say Speed Limit 85 No Tolerance.
Scotty I live on the west coast. There is a tire company that runs across most the area. Their name is Les Swab Tires. Best place and only place I will buy tires at. From Washington to Arizona.
Probably no membership card needed too 😊
My local Les Swab sucks. They are always trying to scare you and tell you your brakes are low and need to be replaced when well within spec and lie about how much material is left. Then if they replace your brakes they will always replace your calipers too (big money, probably damaging the hose line). Cannot sync low tire monitors. Over inflate your tires +5 PSI telling you there's uneven tread wear to get better handling, only mentioning it if you ask why PSI is so high. Floor attendant gets pissed and flexes up for a fist fight to an old woman with a cane when she wanted to withdraw her vehicle before work had started because it was taking a long time. Buy the tires, but don't let them touch the vehicle.
Same thing here in California. Les Schwab is the best tire company.
Scotty great video. Love that not only that you have so much knowledge about all the nonsense that is going on with these new electric vehicles but you have a lot of common sense about all the other C--P being promoted in all society in general. Thanks for allowing me to LOL with you!
I just love all your video’s!
Love the you tell the idiots they're idiots!
It's quite telling when the manufacturer doesn't even wait for the part to fail before taking action. Honda knew they done Fed up.
Had the tires on my Ford truck replaced 'Before Plan Demic' $200. Weighed, balanced, taxed, Fed tax, disposal fee. After Plan Demic $1,000 Est.

There is a mine in Sullivan MO with tons of rare earth minerals inside a very large iron mine. One of the largest and purest iron mine in the country.
Just saying been satisfied with the prices but discount tire been good to me little wait and honor warranties
Just bought new Michelin Defenders from Costco. Bought them online shipped to my local store. Made an appointment, they had me out in one hour. Safed $200.00 .
I have been getting my tires from Costco for years now. They sell the best tires, and I have saved money buying them there. They usually have the buy 3 tires and get 1 free deal. I have never had a problem with them not balancing the tires correctly.
Just purchased yesterday 4 new BF Goodrich tires at Costco. Walked in with no appointment, was in and out in less than 2 hours!!
That’s still a long time. When I worked in retail automotive, we advertised 1 hour to replace all four tires.
2 hours ain't bad in the real world these days.
I just bought 4 Michelins at Costco and I was there only an hour and a half.
Hey Scotty, my dad's 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 royal brougham had the coolant cap blown off and caused it to overheat and shut down the engine. When it cooled down, it was able to drive home while stopping often to check and fill coolant. We planned to replace the head gasket, but we didn't have the time or money as it happened in early 2020 during the start of the pandemic. It has sat tarped up for 4 years... Do you think it's salvageable, and what should be checked out first?
-Mason from Florida
Costco has free rotation if you buy from them. I use them all the time. They also have appointments so you don't wait.
I wondered why car prices plunged recently. Incredible. The entire auto industry must be shocked.
Rare Earth, they laid down some pretty heavy grooves!!!
Saw a Tesla gas operated truck towing a diesel generator
I always make a appointment. Then it only takes an hour or so I,ve had several sets put on
Scotty God bless you.
What has worked for me at Walmart and Costco, is order your tires then go shopping. By the time your done, the shop may be finished or at least close 😅😅😅
The only mine that Scotty wants is one where he can say, It’s all mine!
Over in Europe, Sweden I think, the Police have to catch you that same day for speeding, or you are scot free. They can't arrest you the next day. I think I heard that from a Ghost Rider video.

Brimell Toyota here in Toronto uses a Ram Promaster I believe to deliver parts
Why would Toyota use junk like a Ram to deliver when they have Tundras there on the lot? Rams are a dime a dozen, Tundras cost bucks.
@@Steve-O_FPV- you clearly have not looked at the price of a Ram truck recently. Stellantis has gone bonkers with their pricing.
I sure hope they don't use all those minerals for the production of EV batteries. That would be a waste.
You said it, pal.
What else would they do with it?
Ya good thing we can recycle all the ones we have to be using in energy storage or for another ev can't do that with gas 😂
@@ColtonRMagby Thank you.
The biggest buyer 🤷🏾♂️
It would be unpleasant to be in a Honda with failed electric power assisted steering. How about a CyberTruck with steer by wire; no mechanical connection to manually guide it in case of electrical failure.
If the US had reasonable, common sense environmental regulations for processing minerals, the rare earth elements could be competitively processed in the USA with minimum damage to the environment. Is it better to shift production to countries that will produce the minerals at a low price while polluting the ground, air and water of our plant?
Sodium based is cheaper better range and higher energy. Also hot/cold less of an issue
Costco takes appointments and the service is great that way. you will wait awhile if you do drop in with out an appointment
canada is the same we have lot's of everything but we can't get it because of the laws
Has anyone heard about the Big Car Transporters Catching on Fire and Sinking in the Ocean due to the EV Batteries Exploding and Costing 100's of Millions of dollars of Losses?
Seen the videos on youtube.
No manufacturer of anything makes them to last. It doesn't help the bottom line to make things to last forever. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey scotty what’s going on with this new theft trend targeting toyota 4 runner wheels in san diego California.
Love your content thank you for all you do!
new mining startups in wyoming(not all of them) have a history of "salting" their claims scotty.
That picture that you showed when you were saying, "If you want to speed go to Montana where there are not any people and no speed limits." I reminded me of US-395 in south-eastern Oregon. The road is straight as an arrow and flat, and I was the only driver on it. Problem was the speed limit was still 55. I think Oregon was about the last state to raise the speed limit, like thirty years after the oil embargo. Ironically, the cars that I did see were an antique car club on an outing. Some were Model Ts that probably could not go 55 mph. P.S. Oregon drivers were allowed to finally pump their own gas last year. At least they beat New Jersey, which still does not allow self-service.
Socialists
The governor of Oregon had to do an EO to get the self-pump in place. Voters turned it down each time it was on the ballot. Long timer Oregonians didn't want it. Still don't. They are starting out with 50-50 on self serve and full service, just like CA did. Eventually, full service will go away. I don't like pumping my own gas, and I will use full service for as long as it is here. It won't make gas cheaper. It will put people out of jobs.
What are the three rocks for?
Favorite part was scottie reading off his cell phone 😂😂😂
At Costco, just make an appointment and go shopping while they put them on Easy Peasy.
Generally speaking if someone has to make laws to make saying something illegal it might just be because they are wrong and deep down they know it. Because if they were right they wouldn’t have to make it illegal they just show that they are right.
I did buy my tires at costco since 2009 but they do not sell my tires size any longer. 255/65/17R 2005 Benz ML350
Where do u get your tires from now???
Same thing in France, we have discovered a very big reserve of lithium, 1 million tons. They search in others region and there are reserves too. France has enough lithium to build 1 million electric cars per year for 25 years.
If they find others reserves it will X
LOL. People just LOVE that feel-good warm&fuzzy they get from purchasing overpriced tesla toys
To say nothing about the extra social justice warrior points you accrue.
Great huge large pit
Every chemical used for microchip is deadly also.
Oil oil oil oil lol
Drill. Drill. Drill.
These manufactures searching for rare minerals buy thousands of acres of woods and cut all those trees down and that’s not good at all! In the past I’ve heard that companies had to plant the same amount of trees the cut down on the land after they are done and re level land and clean out the chemical water they pumped/used. But it’s been found the chemical ponds were left and just filled with dirt
I can grow all the trees you want. I can't grow minerals.
Scotty, this is great content. 👍
I would think that some of the towing companies would get a huge diesel powered generator on a trailer that they can pull out to charge the EV'S enough to get them to a regular charging station. I have been told that when the battery is dead, they can't be pulled on to a rollback? I am not sure how true that is. I personally think that a good hibird system makes way more sence than a totally electric vehicle. I am interested to see how the Edison motors hibird big trucks do as they seem to be the only company playing around with that concept at this point.
Currently the IAEA - yes the Atomic Energy agency - regulates all Lithium deposits in the USA in the exact same manner as they do Uranium deposits supposedly because Lithium deposits contain trace amounts of uranium. This crazy regulatory burden prevents all lithium mining here in the USA because other countries dont have this costly problem to deal with.
The trick is to just get a nice gas generator for when your EV runs out of juice, and slap a toyota sticker on it so your new hybrid lasts 2 decades.
Old Jeep WJ owner... I buy my tires from FB Marketplace because Jeep wrangler take-offs are cheap.
Did Scotty throw back a few before posting this video?
Made the same comment 😂
good times
No he visited the dentist had some work done & probably just mild pain relievers
Anyone know what changes have gone on in Honda? The drop in quality is shocking. I heard mazda has been getting better, some predict it will surpass Honda, in quality!
The Great Rugpull on the middle class.
Scotty for President 🇺🇸
Leave your car there at Costco to get your tires installed. While you wait you hang out and go up and down the aisles and eat the free samples inside Costco.😂
Thank god it wasn’t found in California
I never had to pay to have my tires balanced where I buy my tires. they even provide free balance and rotation for the life of the tires.😉
Japan has found big reserves of rare earth near their coasts off shore.
Good day,Mr.Kilmer. I wanted to thank you,for your information regarding Tesla sending out road assisted gasoline vans to help,stranded drivers,as I,agree with you,how " ironic" that is for Mr.Musk's ev's and how superior he claims them to be.Thank you,also,about how tires are bought and put on nor balanced correctly. I thank you,so much for your informative updates,Mr.Kilmer.
Scotty, Levi or Wrangler shirts?
Dig it up here, send it to Mexico for processing and bring back the refined stuff.
It has nothing to do with the electronics themselves it's because they put the type r cap on the greaser for the steering pinion on regular civics. This makes it too tight so it will l lose oil and make a clunky.
I don't know why Scotty has this information wrong but it does have to do with the electronic steering but not as the electronics or software.
Edit: I forgot to mention this was completely fixed by October so you don't have to worry about it anymore and just go get your warranty done so they could check the numbers and see if you qualify.
Thank you. This is why I read the the comments.
Even the greatest mechanic on earth (ie Scotty) can’t fix stupid!!
I've had 3 mechanical power steering systems in older cars. ALL of them developed leaks within 80K-100K. I prefer electric power steering.
Funny. I’ve had dozens of vehicles with ONLY mechanical steering components and only ever had ONE issue in a 2005 trailblazer. New rack installed in my garage and all good. Nice when own a few tools and can fix without relying on a shop.
At Discount Tire, you make an appointment. Then it is quick.
These auto manufacturers are out of control today in quality. Toyota and Honda are junk today...sad
Honda definitely is 🤔
I wish Scotty was still in Texas so I could take my cars to him
BMW I can understand not using one of their vehicles as a parts because they don’t make trucks so it makes sense.
who has better quality honda or toyota.
Of course Toyota (quality & reliability) is miles ahead of Honda...... Honda died in the early 2000's
Electric power steering systems are more fuel efficient than hydraulic systems that always put a load on the engine.
I think Tesla will use Tesla-made recovery vehicles whenever they eventually produce a delivery van (or other vehicle) which is suitable for the job. BTW, I am NOT a Tesla Fan Boy, nor a Tesla Hater
Ofc they will. Scotty just wants to mess with his audience. Never let facts get in the way of a good story. 😂
Nope, Switzerland, pick a side.
Honda is using electronic steering because its cheaper? Yet a civic in the 90 cost 1/3 of what they are today...
So did everything else, it's all relative. Keep in mind, 35 years ago cars were not filled with all the computers and safety gear they are now so of course the price is higher. Not to mention everything else on a car cost that much more now. All relative. Hated the old school power steering setup using fluid, it's gone for me and my Honda vehicles, yay. And look at all the gadgets in cars today that were not there 35 years ago.
I bought our first NEW civic for $ 4150....
My ex wife had an 09 honda fit 5 spd sport that jad electric powersteering...never had an issue... i dont like everything being electronic, but i do like how electric power steering feels, my 6 spd civic SI has electric powersteering , a little over 300k and no problems..my last honda was an accord with about 360 and ran perfect..that had hydrolic powersteering , even at about 360k i never had a major problem with that one. Ive worked on cars for 20 years, and i maintain mine religiously .. honda, mazda, and old fords..those are my brands.. yea toyotas last..but theyre just not my fave..and new toyotas quality has slipped too. They recalled like 600k cars and trucks... i wouldnt buy one.
