Some other videos I enjoyed from him.. many non Tesla related videos, and many with some math/research/engineering explanations showing up.

Lots of people claiming it's not possible, etc.. I always appreciate someone with decent knowledge throwing some math and engineering at it to get a ball park idea of how realistic it is. Or as he called it in this video.. legit or nonsense :)

I personally find him over many years a healthy combination of car/math/physics knowledge, referencing research, skepticism and .. whatever you call excited about things without being dogmatic or a fanboy.

Can't say he's infallible, but certainly seems better than 99% of the people that either claim it must be fake, misleading or perfect and wonderful.. both would be on par for Tesla.

Worth mentioning he has both loved a Tesla in the past: (19 video playlist on the Model 3): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2ir4svMoaYicTBWWTJra...

And certainly should be considered to have some bias due to: Elon Musk Fired My Wife - I'm Selling My Tesla (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFLrDaV6nkE)

That said, spoiler alert, he finds the demos largely credible (but has debunked many things in the past, including some of the older Tesla demos like beating a Porsche with a Cybertruck while towing a Porsche: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J3H8--CQRE).. what combination of these things make it into production is another story.
