If you're at home and you're looking to really make your models different than anybody else's, this is a fantastic method to do that. And Ralph has never done this until today. I'm just kidding. That looks fantastic. And it's all about blending a little bit, isn't it? Yeah. And to give that layered effect. I think that's one of the things as model railroaders, it's all about the texture. You're looking to get that texture feel for people. And in weathering, I think that's very important. By using that little bit of powder, it really lifts, it does, gives it a 3D effect. So that's that. Raymasters TV, only from model railroad hobbyist magazine.


Graph discrete mathematics in mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, the graph is a structure amounting to a set of objects in which some pairs of the objects are in some sense related. The objects correspond to mathematical abstractions called vertices also called nodes or points and each of the related pairs of vertices is called an edge also called an arc or line. Typically, the graph is depicted in diagrammatic form as a set of dots for the vertices, joined by lines or curves for the edges. Graphs are one of the objects of study in discrete mathematics. The edges may be directed or undirected. For example, if the vertices represent people at a party, and there is an edge between two people if they shake hands, then this graph is undirected because any person can shake hands with a person B only if B also shakes hands with A. In contrast, if any edge from a person A to a person B corresponds to A's admiring B, then this graph is directed because admiration is not necessarily reciprocated. The former type of graph is called an undirected graph and the edges are called undirected edges while the latter type of graph is called a directed graph and the edges are called directed edges. Graphs are the basic subject studied by graph theory. The word graph was first used in this sense by James Joseph Sylvester in 1878.


And so for you guys that are just now making your way into the channel I feel like it's somewhat of a somewhat of a culmination this week of What I felt like was a somewhat of a change in in momentum With highly on holdings. It's been a company that I've covered now for the last couple of years and unfortunately We've got some real terrible news this week And I thought it was it would be best During these times that are are usually very difficult, you know, when we lose someone to bring everybody together and And talk about what happened Talk about what we can do to heal as a group I take full responsibility for You know Speaking out on this topic. I know for a lot of the highly in our air community across the globe It was a movement of epic proportions. It was a movement in the right direction It was a movement that inspired people to Imagine a better class eight trucking space and I think all the way up until this week It was it was unfortunate. I mean we We delivered a tree To the New York Stock Exchange and it was a beautiful tree it really was 13 tons from what I understand it wasn't it was an absolutely beautiful tree and Thomas Healy the founder and CEO of Hylian and my condolences go out to Thomas and the entire family As well as the extended Hylian community and all the employees that are at Hylian having been Succumbed to this Urgent news and this never ever comes that at an opportune time when we hear news like this But it was the last wish of the last question from Dooner on what the truck on what Thomas Healy actually wanted this year for Christmas and What the man said was that he wanted the stock price to actually Start to start to appreciate in value and provide a little bit of hope for the shareholders who up to this point Have had nothing but hope Unfortunately There did the news that came out this week Was just too overwhelming for a small company like Hylian to to to even think for a second that they could Stand up against the utter dominance of of what would inevitably happen The momentum was just too strong they were playing and way too big of a field and To actually think that they could actually complete compete step-by-step It was almost like David and Goliath it really was and Unfortunately these things in the stock market they they do come they are rare but you know it teaches investors to actually look at the potential for each and every company we evaluate and identify best in breed and It's been right under our nose this entire time To understand You know what it is that Elon Musk has been telling us this entire time What it is that he's been promising this entire time and and this week was really just that that Mike Tyson one-two punch And it was the fatal fatal blow Really that just kind of it dismissed everything that Hylian boasts in way of What it brings to the table for a class 8 space and was it wishful thinking upon us to believe that Somehow this small company could make it domiciled here in the United States.  I Saw the comments on Facebook when none other then Elon Musk unmasked the Tesla's in my truck and My heart stopped for a moment It stopped and I thought okay, here we go. That's it competition is here. We're done and I've had a lot of time to review the Unveiling of the Tesla semi truck It is a fantastic looking truck And if you go on and you identify with some of the comments on some of the people who have actually reviewed this truck It is absolutely spectacular. I mean I really got a hand at to Tesla. I mean honestly they killed off highly on with with a couple of very specific statistics here and Nolan void of a lot of things that I thought were important in the class 8 space and This is just really what I want to Apologize to my grander community on see I thought torque and horse power and driver Experience and the ability to I don't know go up a hill was somewhat important By the grace of God my friends I was I was dead wrong, okay? These are not things that are important to the class 8 trucking space The things that are important to the class 8 space and it is apparent to me now and I really want to apologize for my eat my naive perspective on this is Is How the truck looks the truck has to look perfectly no client the truck has to Glimmer with that perfect paint job. Okay, assuming that it has to look good in the over the road Transport now if it gets off the road and it gets a little bit dirty that image is just it's just just it's not gonna look Right, it's just not gonna look right. Is it Clark? Okay Second of all and this was the real dagger for me and this is where I really started to to plan the services because Even though I knew highly on would put up a fighting chance in this Um, I knew that they could not Compete on any level with The tesla 500 miles and it just pains me to say it.  What's going on here? This truck can go 700 kilometers And I was like, whoa 700 kilometers. It hit me And I was like, this is this is incredible. We're done for No, god Well, I've had I've had all week to Digest the information and and come to terms with the loss here Um, like a brother I've spent many many minutes on this project and I believe that I've discussed this project with many many of people Who believe and saw the same thing that I did on highly on and put specific value on certain things that I'm honestly ready to just take a vacation from stock market investing because Of all the people that got out of the highly on cab friends of mine jason j mac investing I mean, I know the guy I've never met him in person But he actually got out of the cab after it driving the vehicle it drove the vehicle And I don't think that was like a david copperfield thing I think the man actually was sitting in the chair and actually driving the the vehicle around the parking lot, okay And and and the smile and the vindication and the validation that has come from Drivers just like jason who took his time to go down there and report to the grander highly in their community That this experience was very very real It was very very real And it's really just unfortunate that most of that driver satisfaction from that perspective Um It's not important It's it's just not important. I've said many many times on this opportunity that I am not a truck driver. Okay. I have deferred too many of our Highly young community that actually know the trucking industry some are truck drivers And that's just the way I roll. I don't presume to be an expert in something that i'm not an expert in there's a lot of people out there that that um The play that they are an expert But I tell you what we got this one wrong and I say all the time how the stock market can dole out humble pie It's doling it out right now because In my heart of hearts and my study of highly young and what it brings to the table with um with its range um It just died right there for me It just died right there because I knew that the hyper truck erx I knew that there was no way that we could compete with 500 miles of range I just knew that there was no way we could do it and um I got a little emotional You know, I I really thought highly on had something to bear with their thousand miles of range, but evidently that's That's not the case My friends that is not the case because tesla has one thing that highly on does not have Okay, and irrespective of the range. I want you guys to remember this tesla Flies the flag of tesla Okay Highly on is an unknown. It doesn't matter It doesn't matter Okay, see i'm here to tell you what I just realized this week And that is 500 miles of range Is actually what we should be focused on 500 miles of range Is actually better Than a thousand miles of range that the hyper truck erx god rest his soul And I just like to um Bear the farewell It's been awesome to cover all of the investor presentations all of the ability to um Try to bring people together around what I thought were attributes of a company that actually mattered Integrity if you go on to highly on's website, and I don't know how much longer they're going to keep it up Okay with this news this week of of complete and utter dominance by tesla rolling in To the class a space in a manner that is and could be labeled a A hostile taker over at the industry and um schneider rule on Wegmans the innovation council some of the big players in the transportation space. They're done. They're done Pepsi has just validated that for everybody in the fleet stand by for roles. It's coming. Okay If you thought you had a premonition about what direction you wanted to go in the ev direction in the class 8 space You can rest assured put that aside none of that's important. All right, because tesla's got it all figured out for you Tesla's got it figured out for you No more worrying No more staying up that night waiting for mandates That are going to be coming through tesla's got you covered. Okay tesla's got you covered And although we are Nill of any testimonials from any of the drivers out there In the tesla community that have actually talked about the driver experience or actually offered any type of testimonial here or actually talked about What it is in way of the consumer load over the electric load when this vehicle is actually Driving along its path Shoeing up this 500 miles of range interesting It's interesting.  I was excited to buy my Honda Accord sport for my wife 10 years ago And it boasted 36 miles to the gallon and I was like damn 36 miles to the gallon This is pretty badass. I can you know, I can kick some ass in in that car and it's a wonderful car We've had it for 10 years Taking a lot of long trips with it But I've never to ever get close to 36 miles per gallon And I'm not sure if I would feel somewhat Slighted if I bought a tesla. I'm not a tesla fan Okay, and perhaps maybe that jaded my perspective on this tesla Emergence this week. I mean this this was five years in the making but in one fail swoop They've just come and they've taken over the class 8 industry in in one week because And for you guys that doubt Elon Musk and his capability All right, he'll buy twitter one week and he'll take over the class 8 space another Okay, so it is in elan. We trust all right and what elan says is what elan means And you should fall suit all right Electric energy as it pertains to the class 8 space is about 21 cents a mile 21 cents a mile So tesla can boast an enormous savings an enormous savings You guys ever seen ferris bueller when they ride back the ferrari california Right they ride it back Right no rigor no nothing not up not over the road. All right. They're not jumping it going on the joy ride What I think sometimes gets missed is that in a perfect world if the tesla were put up on a grid and the Axle was allowed to turn electronically I think then you could probably sit there and boast that you get 21 cents a mile Or 23 cents whatever it was but When I read that statistic, I thought well, I mean we're done. We're done Not only do we run an archaic fuel in the hyper truck erx In the fossil fuels We are we are done because we cannot compete with that 21 cents. That's incredible I mean strap 80 000 strap 100 000 pounds onto that tesla the tesla truck Have it with its gleaming bulbous front on it cruise And by next year we should have a hundred percent penetration in the class 8 space Why because elon musk says that it should be so and therefore it should be so Got a robust crew in here man, um, um sunday feeling fantastic this evening Um, my condolences go out to the greater highly on community. I will actually drop some visitor Uh opportunity in here. Um, I'm going to drop it into the thread now Um, and I'm going to start to get to some comments here because my best coping mechanism is to Actually speak with people who are supportive. I know there's probably going to be a ton of people in here that Um, I'd love to see my pain. There it is. It's in the bottom You guys want to download the stream yard software. It's very very simple. You can come in here and you can kick around with me But just when I thought we were finding a little bit of momentum Whiskey, I might take a a little break and actually go get one But I want to make sure that I'm done with the eulogy first because it's been a while since I've been with the funeral and never I haven't done one for a while and I've never actually ran a funeral. Um as as an as an ordained reverend I'm leading the highly on rackus in the last couple of years Trying to bring attention to what I thought was actually important Uh in stock market investing You know, it what's interesting to me is I'm watching companies that are just shitty companies and they're going up It's like the most irrational market going on right now. It's pretty crazy It's pretty crazy. Um, and and I think you know with without anything Fundamental with tesla Look at the charts right now Tesla's going to 215. There's just no doubt about tesla's going to 215. The technicians are all over this.  I mean Did you see the look of this thing?  I could just give two shits less but go over to facebook And find the initial rollout. I wish I had it if you guys can find it and drop it in the thread here for this group There's about 77 patrons in the live tonight Drop it in there because it's funny and the the truck you'll either like it or not. It's an aesthetic thing Right, which me personally I look at class 8 truck as being a tool It's it's a it's a tool. It's an asset for a company right to be put out there and and and be utilized Okay, tesla's got all the answers. All right, they've been in class 8 trucking for all of what a couple of months It's just like anything. It's just like the private car market, right? As long as they can do people and understanding and just tell people whatever they want the vehicle can get See, that's the thing they can say whatever they want. They can say 500 when in all actuality It's 320 and in all actuality you're never ever going to run it below 20 percent And you shouldn't run it above 80, right? So you don't have a zero to 100 nominal range. You actually have 20 to 60 interesting So you can't run it down to 20 other otherwise it degrades from the battery and or takes away from efficiency and or Runs at a higher Consumption rate, especially if I don't know a road does something funny and just doesn't go down all the time It actually goes up some of the time And the demand over that consumption of energy on that truck is going to deliver That top-end 500 range I read these articles and I'm like who are these idiots who are reading these articles and not seeing it from the lens that I saw And I read through that facebook post I was I was hard-pressed to go through that post and find a positive comment about the truck I don't care if tesla comes and they penetrate the class 8 market. I'm all about it. But like duner said Why aren't they going after the short to medium term hauling, right? If the battery technology improves over time to think that they can be a player in the class 8 space So be it but there has been real no differentiation and perhaps maybe you guys know about what market They're actually going after from what I understand. This is a class 8 semi truck At 500 miles of range. Okay But the look of this thing Is incredible go through the comments You'll be hard-pressed to find a positive comment in the in the comments and there were thousands. There were thousands I give you one opinion tonight.   I mean is this it's everything that I thought Our looks important. I don't know. I've joked through my weekly highly on videos Talking about truck drivers and their reluctance to even get behind the wheel of this thing Right now dooner does a really really good job of being fairly neutral me. I'm staving.  I would drive that thing as a matter of fact. I'd trade in my diesel tomorrow for this thing Let me behind the wheel of it. I'm in I'm down. I'm at I'm at it, right Then I would eat crow, right? I'd understand and I'm not saying that I think the aesthetics are going to be such a turn off That it's not going to find its place maybe in over the road trucking But the comments certainly spoke differently to it The comments were a lot of truckers who were like man alive. You couldn't pay me to drive that thing Tons of multiple comments just like that that were saying The consumption just does not add up There's no way that I would hamstring my ability to make over the load over the road Long haul transits and be coupled to a grid in this capacity. There's no way. What are the weights of the batteries? I don't know. There's probably going to be some tesla bowls Hopefully that make their way in tonight They can come in and they can slap me around Just like highly on was slapped around and then boom delivered that knockout punch this week because The best I can tell is that everybody has picked a winner We've been waiting for five years to pick this winner And this was the week this was the week where we were delivered That one two sucker punch boom boom and it's out boom lights out done Seriously like apollos laying down Yvonne draga has just come and just delivered the death blow Okay tesla death from above Okay There's a pretty robust group in here man I'm gonna cruise down and start to highlight some of these comments. Dave. Thanks for the journey over the last couple of years It's been tough. It's been really tough only capped off by this Uh eventual competition and I tell you what, you know Until we can start to get people to understand Um that 500 miles is better than a thousand We've got a real uphill battle. No pun intended the look of the tesla was horrific. Oh, I yeah, I don't know dave I think you're being a little hard over there. I don't know. I kind of liked it I thought it was I thought it was it was cute. But again, I'll defer to the people who actually drive the vehicle Right, it's like changes in our organization.  You know, did they did they even ask the crew before they even did this? And that's the thing is is highly on doing their due diligence and trying to ask Who the heck they're trying to put behind the wheel of their vehicles To get enough substantiation to know that they're gonna actually I don't enjoy driving it. I don't know that's for y'all to answer It's a lewd point at this point because highly on instead and truckers are gonna have to really Warm up to this idea of tesla being the dominant Truck in the industry as early as early next year. Something is very wrong with that interior and front end Yeah, but they were comparing the two. Okay, I saw a comparison on twitter where they were talking about the aerodynamics And tesla, I have no doubt I have no doubt that that that the aerodynamics of it were Were built to make sure that the airflow could go over the vehicle in the most economical of of ways And let that old peter build right that's jamming into the wind straight on 90 degrees was less efficient, right? Got Excalibur in the house. I bring them on Excalibur. You got me. Okay You got me. Okay. I you might be muted. It might be me. I don't know, but I just brought you on man You got me. Okay. Can you hear me? Okay You might be muted And I can't it says you're muted. Can you unmute yourself? Right at the bottom to the left because I really want to talk to you man. I just tried to unmute you I'll let him get his thing. All you got to do is go down to the bottom and hit hit Unmute because it shows me that you're muted But man, I'd love to talk to you if I can get you to figure it out and get your opinion on all this That'd be awesome It's the first time I've ever got to talk to this guy, man Yeah, just give it a sec, man. I'll tell you what I'll pull you off of the live stream, man I'll watch you stay in the studio.  Okay I'll watch you out of the corner of my eye. Okay. It's great to see you Dave appreciate It isn't what the media smoke screen is putting out. Yeah, but they're putting it out rampant, man and and I tell you what momentum and sentiment and belief and And everything that goes into that man. If it freaking matters it matters, right? And and highly on it. It doesn't matter what it is that they can do up to this point To to build that momentum or keep that momentum or actually create some level of momentum on the stock to to to suggest maybe that highly on What what what is a world going to look like if highly on can do Half of the stuff that they boast in their Fundamentals and what they bring to the table will be incredible. Remember. I said this is a post I have a feeling it will be tremendous strain on failing supply chain I think you're right. I think you're right. I think the materials that are going into the batteries For me, I find it intriguing to discuss the cradle to the grave In how they're going to dispose of all of these batteries after they've gone through it You know, this whole tesla craze And the effects from it are going to be Long-standing and where some of my initiatives are driving to try to undo some of the poor behaviors of of of some of the habit forming behaviors some of our inability to Dispose of certain certain things that us dirty human beings create on this earth It's unfortunate and that's what that's what I want to understand Look if you're putting this out there Put it out there, but but but please explain to people how it's going to be better for the earth than worse off Don't don't just tell me that electricity is going to be cheaper. Well, don't tell me that Because I just I just don't believe it. I don't believe it and if it's my deficiency Then you you got to tell me tell me i'm wrong. All right, but I appreciate you coming and leaving a post here Got Celtic lightning in the house man. Good stuff really appreciate it.  Wait a minute. I didn't know we were going live today Let me hear about this rest in peace highly on situation I got I covered everything that I could get my hands on I could You know, I'm I'm interested in the tesla story as it indirectly Is involved in the same space as highly on okay But I'm hungry just like I'm hungry for the nicola folks To to give me some sort of substance or credence At least in line with what highly on has provided me highly on's got a lot of work to do I get that highly on doesn't get any amnesty for me That they they have my my my share loyalty I own shares in the company, but that doesn't mean I can't be critical over highly on and demand more Right. How is thomas healy going to expect to actually Get that appreciating stock price next year if he doesn't know a few things about the demand over his product All right, this little bit of gamesmanship with coca-cola classic. I love that stuff. I love it But here's the thing if the focus was on the original 200 orders backed by security deposits Then what has happened since then thomas, right? You told us since the sales team was so laser focused on that That that's the only thing that they could focus on Therefore the rationale for them not putting new orders on the books was justified Okay, oh contrary or my prayer how how long does it take to start to get these initial 10 order books? We've been in a little bit of a dry spell with orders here And I think it's kind of unfortunate. I I think we've got a lot of work to do and um I just demand a little bit more nicola tesla highs on being the the three In the space that I cover most intimately And I read the articles with a different lens. I I do That nicola had a great week this week in the stock price and there was an article that came out at the end of the week this week That was just absolutely cheerleading for the stock Yeah, right on it just it was incredible to read the article. There was no substance at all The stock didn't go up for any good reason Couldn't believe it does highly on get that same favor. I think not and it makes me presume This is my presumption that something awry is going on under Under the current something awry not something bad with highly on but something doesn't smell right with this story It doesn't even the stock action from day to day. I monitor the stock action I'm a dork a lot of people like rick. I see rick. I'll pop his comment on here pretty quick But I'm crazy and I love stock market investing. I follow the highly on story every single day If you want to put it on ice for two years fine, you'll probably wake up in two years and find that you've Done quite well with the investment. That's fine But I like to really monitor and identify maybe what this 13 and a half percent short interest in the company Actually means now like who in the hell is shorting this company right now with all of the looming Things that are going to be going on in 2023 all positive catalysts to the upside We're talking about carb. It's a certification We're talking about eventual certification finalization of winter validation all of the learnings from the summer validation and and proof of concept before we step into the potential for potential and I do say that it's a soft step in to commercialization back half of 2023. I think it's going to be a A relatively soft introduction to mass commercialization because by Thomas Healy's admission They're going to do a lot of the installs at the actual austin facility. It's going to be the big money where You know, we actually have the ability to integrate the power train into the oem from from pakar And thomas healy spoke about this you don't just show up one day and just start being like, yeah Hey, I'm going to push my stuff into your line. Thanks a lot. Just send me a check Doesn't work that there that way it takes time And it will take time for healy on but they're set up well to make that transition And I think it'll be very very cool. Yes, sir Excalibur left a comment. I I couldn't see that he got that mute I'd love for him to try again come back in here It just might have been something with the tech but what about the leasing companies? They are not going to buy a semi that they can't resell Who's going to rebuy a semi with a couple of years left? phenomenal phenomenal point Um, I had this discussion with somebody else the other night. It was it was actually dave who I featured in the in the first comment I actually think that the Modular replacement Of the highly on unit. Okay. Now these are batteries. I don't know what the size of the tesla battery is Okay, some of you who do can do a comparison. I understand it to be significantly larger Because it's not One of those things that has the charger brought with it. Okay, it's reliant on the grid To actually charge the battery back up So you can imagine the size of this battery and what it has to have To actually power the semi down the road and carry a payload that is somewhat comparable highly on From what I can tell and what I've heard Is going to be a modular change out how many modular change out over the course of the highly on hyper truck yorex Is yet to be determined two three six. Hell, I don't know.  What is it that that actually? encourages fleets to chop those old diesel units out of their fleet And allow them to go to the the smaller companies the private companies The mom and pops out there who I tell you what are the heartbeat of this effing country that heartbeat You need me to go in there on a diesel that's got a million miles on it I can keep that thing going for another million miles. There's value there There's value there. Where's the large fleets. It's not worth the strategic risk To have that truck laid up on the side of the road for the driver and incur down time, right? So they chop those after five seven years I've heard upwards of nine years and the truckers in the group. I don't mean to speak out of turn I don't but it makes economic sense for them to start looking at looking at What expenses go into the diesel application? Later on in life and just to go ahead and chop those units even though there's good Service life in them to the mom and pops. So I hear you about the leasing companies as well All right, the leasing companies will take on those older diesel units because they have those support networks They've got the in-house mechanics. Boom and diesel engines, man For you guys, I have run diesel, but it's been on boats Okay, not in trucks and they run forever. You keep them happy You keep air water oil to them. They're happy diesel engines phenomenal in invention Let's digress. Look at the hyper truck erx if I'm a fleet and I do the upfront cost Okay, take my $40,000 of tax incentive and credit And put that into this investment into this hyper truck erx unit one Unit one incur a modular change out at year three. Let's say change the module out boom boom Done good to go do the servicing on the generator. Good to go year five Do the same servicing maybe a little bit more maybe a little bit more checks, etc, etc I'm just drawing in an allergy here What is more attractive for the fleets? Is it now to take that unit that has paid them off and the longer that they can drive that vehicle? The more the payoff is as opposed to the diesel counterpart Where the odds of incurring a catastrophic failure in that unit goes up over time And the hyper truck is the opposite the longer you drive the unit the more attractive it is I deduced that the fleets are going to be more apt to actually retain These units over time as opposed to chop them to the mom-and-pops Which has traditionally created the sub market of the larger fleets always having those optimal Vehicles out there on the road the driver experience, etc. We don't want to incur downtime We can't incur downtime, but I think that's a really really smart comment. I Think the hyper truck erx God rest its soul has Much more of an opportunity to be more of a sticky asset If in fact they can determine by their own data and analytics That the hyper truck may have the potential to go Longer and incur some of those catastrophic failures less often if at all Because the chassis doesn't go bad, right? The tires were governing down the erx power to make sure that they're getting optimal life at the tires Tires get changed consumables get changed, but is it safe to say that there's less consumables with the hyper truck erx? one a generator to maintain is the electronics and the You know the the You know what goes into that electric system Is it so advanced that it introduces soft spots in the system that are points of failure? Right, we don't know that until we introduce and get the first iteration of the hyper truck erx Or at least it would have been nice to see had it not been for the news heard around the world But um, yeah, it was too bad, man I felt I felt like Clark W. Grisbald going in to pick up my Antarctic blue and ended up with a metallic pee this week.  Here it is rick. Great to see you. Good evening to you And happy holidays to you my friend. The writing was on the wall of our impending death when paul Went bullish on highly on last week. Yeah. Well, you need to turn back into him because he's now back on nicola Remember nicola had a pretty good week this week And I've suggested that anybody Who tunes and look you tune into social media?   They're nuts Um, I love this project. I'll continue to do it until I die Simple as that try me. You think I'm joking try me But it seemed like he was back on the nicola bandwagon now when inevitably it kind of looked like nicola was falling off of a cliff It got so oversold there went down to about two dollars and 34 cents Well, it was about time to sell nicola, right? But now we've got to get back on the nicola bandwagon here Um and and talk about that again because that's where the momentum is right? That's the flavor of the week That's the flavor of the week. It's it's all it's all The basis for any retail investors stock theory or thesis To just look at the stock itself and make your decisions based on what the stock does Look at the stock Right and you end up losing your freaking mind because you haven't figured out that Companies and stocks are two damn different things guys I'm hoping we're marching toward a better place here at some point in our future I really do because I know rick gets it rick gets it rick gets it to the point of like um utter devotion utter devotion Our devotions differ our devotions differ. I don't Look at opportunities in the stock market, even though there's predictable patterns in stock good companies that get driven down Arbitrarily over time It happens over and over and over and over again But if highly on is going to make it it's because highly on Pulled themselves out of it. It's not going to be because it played along some predictable pattern Of similar companies that got driven driven down and ultimately made it over time, right? But appreciate seeing you this evening rick and and again happy holidays to you man Thanks for everything and I really appreciate it Appreciate you coming in and sharing your condolences with me as well. It's tough to see the the story die But evidently we live in an age now where we need to believe that 500 is larger than a thousand Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep 500 is bigger than a thousand and if you say it enough If you say it enough, okay, then you're destined to believe it. So My advice to you is this okay since we've lost our bowl What I need for you to do is I need to you to run as fast as you can Monday morning And I need you to to drunk like superman and I need you to fly midair Into the front door of your broker and I need you to sell highly on I need you to sell it sell it sell it And on your way down to the ground before you can sell that stock What I need you to do is I need you to purchase tesla, okay? I need you to purchase shares of tesla because What elan says is what is inevitably going to happen Okay, what is what he says is inevitably what is going to happen. That is what's going to happen Great to see you my friend great to see you. Good evening to you man. Happy summer. Yeah, it's going great Thanks for taking a couple minutes to come and hang with me. This is happening Yeah, uh, come on. It's an open door policy, man Trying to bring people together and thank you for all the work that you've been doing man Oh, it's a pleasure and honor man. It's good to get the get my my thoughts out there It's it's easy to do right It's easy to do because I think these folks have I think they have their ethics and their goals aligned correctly and they're not afraid to go through the rigor of proof of concept and On the onset I was fairly and it's been a long journey a couple years watching the story evolve right and a lot of a lot of headwinds that have come In the face of highly on supply chain issues has been big I'm not not to mention a global conflict and a global pandemic I think has has slowed the story down whether or not those would have made a difference or not I don't know those are out of highly on's control, but here we are looking at 12 months away to a potential to See highly on in a different capability right to step into this opportunity, but um I I want you to take a few moments here X caliber this is the first time on the channel And just kind of give a little bit of brief overview on who you are I want people who are in here to come subscribe to your channel because I can't give my opinion and expect that it's going to cover everybody. That's why we need more voices I've got andreas and his comments stuck down here Yeah, people gotta understand that there's a lot of different sources of information and you're one of them And I just appreciated your efforts over the last couple of weeks and be on your channel No problem. First of all, I want to say thank you to you because uh for I even got into on the space Every week I was looking out looking out for the Ryan's videos and And some insight into highly on it really helped a lot on the journey My personal journey I could speak to speak for myself Um, and it really helped me the level of dv that you do It inspired me to go deeper down that rabbit hole and what I found I actually liked So I'm I'm kind of new to the landscape. Uh, I've only been making uh content for like Maybe a month now, but I've been in the highly on journey since uh since shell um, I like the I originally heard when I originally heard it. I thought it was a uh, I got excel fleet kind of deals I was kind of turned off So, uh, nothing against excel fleet if you're in it, but that's not my cup of tea but um So I uh, I saw went deeper down that rabbit hole and started like Uh, watching some content of if there was you were out there sober trades Wall Street engineer Yeah, I started watching like there were a lot of other guys that kind of filled the wayside But like you can you can tell when somebody really has a conviction Uh and and skin in the game with the stock in a company so I was kind of Uh started listening to you guys and started doing some uh some dv and I started going down that rabbit hole I'm like, hey, this this makes a lot more sense than anything else out there They're not trying to change the culture. They are not trying to get asset heavy They're trying to keep it simple so they can survive in uh in a hostile Economic environment. There were so many green flags versus red flags That You know, I couldn't Not Investigate the story and as I as I the more I learned about it the more thrilled I am about the opportunity Do you do you think the highly I think highly on actually suffers a little bit from common public via SPAC And and I don't say that to impugn highly on at all. I just look at the space in general Uh, and when the hype craze around the SPAC Market, it was red hot. I mean molten hot Um, I I went on and did a lot of due diligence on a lot of SPACs and On some of them it took me a few minutes actually determined that they were Frauds like That's me and I know how to analyze stock and I think it's somewhat unfortunate that um a company like highly on who came public who Who knows how long they would have remained in private markets had it not been for the SPAC opportunity See, I think the SPAC funding fit highly on like a glove I really do because to be able to You look at the last two years Look at how accelerated this company is you said you were in it since the SPAC era and this is a completely different company Than the shell days And the the rate of acceleration and here staring down these milestones I think we're going to get a spackling of milestones in 2023 But I think the back half of 23 Barring any crazy surprises Is really going to be that that sweet spot, right? You think I mean This company's easy to hold for me. It's easy to invest in I look top down You said that there was a lot more green than red When I do my due diligence on highly on I'm super excited at the upper management I'm super excited about the board of directors who Will pay dividends down the line. Okay, right now their value really isn't being extracted in the strategic decision making that they've that they've had their Their path is easy That their path to you know commercialization Their checklist and what they're doing right now with summer winter validation, etc It's pretty easy But I'm I'm really chomping at the bit to see this company that I think right now is in between maybe first and second gear Really revving it up into six and seeing this thing in high octane. You know what I mean? Oh, yes, exactly. I always always say 2023 is where the rubber meets the road like I try not to get Thanks to you like the rose color goggles because I you know, it's easy to get You know, and you got to be you got to like recover investors first, you know where we are educated investors But it's easy to get the rose color goggles and I like for me the 2023 and the CM them rollout production like this is like that's the year To where we get to sit back and pop the corn and see what kind of show this turns out to be, you know, um Yeah, I I'm I'm excited because like I have a little uh in the highly on discord No, that's why I try to be doing it, but I have like a little countdown calendar a little countdown clock to uh, nice Christmas eve of next year That's by by that that's when the 200 split rollout supposed to be or whatever around around that time period And I posted every now and they were under 400 days now But I posted every now and then because that to me that's the That's the most important part for me to look at as a shareholder um That's when they that's when they're rolling out. That's when they we got as we get to We um See that's what we need more new new guidance in my opinion because the guidance goes out so about there You know and then um once we get there. I'm interested to see how the company handles the pressure of uh the ramp up and How they mature from it and that's that's uh critical critical point for me I I think um I think somewhere in 2023 the stock's going to find some momentum and I think it's going to find itself between the seven and ten dollar range quickly Do you do you think that highly on will take that opportunity to actually um pursue another round of funding Into strength or do you think they'll continue along this this roadmap? To getting to this commercialization. See that's that's where I have some questions I don't I keep earmarking 2023 and into 2024 as as a as an interesting time a transition time But with what we know I think it might be slower than what we're Than what we're presuming Unless there is a shift in momentum amongst the fleets or we pick up another oem Right if we pick up like a freight liner or an international or a volvo something like that to where We're starting the oem hubs on those oems and then you know when the installs shift from the highly on plant in austin to the pack air the pack air uh And actually starts to be installed at the line That for me is a game changer And I really I really foresee That this opportunity Once this things gets up into a respectable category 15 25 box 15 25 box respectable category that for me my friend is going to be kind of just the beginning of a potential decade plus old Holding in other words. I There's going to be people who come and go out of the stock and they're going to make money. That's fine But I think the maximum amount to the money in this is Going to be made on the ultra long And you can only buy the stock at the ground level one time, you know I totally agree. So the ground I look at it as like, um I compare kind of I have Cummings. I watch certain stocks. I'm not investing in Cummings, but I do watch it um, because I equates I look to Cummings for um A potential highly on stock price, you know, that's that's the way I look at you know before all the splits So like but I think I personally think and I hope that when they do ramp, um Because they they don't need capital I do hope that uh, that does they do raise money as I'm expecting them to around the hopefully around the $15 mark like you said But um, you know, like uh, I definitely can see it being Seven or eight dollars by uh by that time. I mean, especially at the market returns back to Oh former strength It's it's fun to project. Um full well-knowing that both me and you are going to be dead wrong on this thing We're going to be dead wrong, right This sucker Right now with the amount of momentum that's being backfilled Um has the ability to gap up overnight any one of these weeks Okay, I've seen it. I've been around this deal a long long time And that what is that going to do? That's going to shock a lot of people who just thought that they could just sit on this and say, uh, no problem Hell, I'll pick it up at 250. It's all good. I can pick it up at Sub three anytime I want to right and that arrogance right there of not holding the stock Could potentially leave those folks in the dust gaps up to six and a half One of these nights something happens and you saw the stock movement this week in nicola for no reason none The these shares these shares and highly on our The volume is anemic we're getting just over about a million shares traded per day. That's anemic volume That's like non-existent volume. So that's why we get the fluctuation that we do But if we actually start to get some real buying interest in this You're you're going to see a gap up in that and that's going to shift people quickly Because people don't have the foresight to get in and sit on it like me and rick and yourself to To say, you know what I'm good. I'm good with this money Whatever it is 10 20,000 some people have got 500 dollars in this name And they've got the investing discipline to see it through And that's going to be what it takes if you're going to try to go in and out of this name You're going to be in trouble trying to do that The best way to make sure that you're in it for the long term is just to own it It's the easiest most difficult thing. I say this all the time It should be very very easy to just make a decision and say here's my conviction Stick with it and then go on doing what it is that you do with your life You know, they don't need to revolve around this thing every day I mean I I pay more attention than the average bear, but I enjoy it, you know And I can honestly say it's been a rough ride in the stock. What does that mean? Rough ride if you ask me, what does it mean ryan? The stock has just gone down. That's all It doesn't mean anything else. I'm happy on a lot of different other friends, you know family fortune health health all the cool stuff, you know But as far as highly on goes it's just taken a little bit longer on the opportunity. That's all you know, and it goes back to say which what I've heard you say multiple times is you got to Know what you don't And I feel like And that's that's pretty much Where I am It doesn't hit you in the gut when it when it goes from 50 dollars to two Yeah, I mean it doesn't feel great You know, but if you look at the look at the company Which I said, that's what I've done is I've been I wrote it up from I really got in the highly on it like 14 dollars I'm rolling it all the way up and I've written it all the way back down. Never I never sold a share Did you write it? You wrote it all the way up to the 58 mark? I bought my biggest block at 30 30 dollars Yeah, and I've been averaging down since I got my dollar cost average down to like $5 and 25 cents, which is you know, it's been hard to do Anything anything sub 10. I think you're good anything sub 10. I would consider an entry level point on this stock That's simple everything else in between and day to day week to week whatever it is It's irrelevant. It doesn't mean squat now. It doesn't um, these guys will continue to work along and I I think thomas healy Is um is just the guy for it. I really do. You know, I'd like to see the success story play out I really would You know a his vision for for his idea It's novel You know, I'd be interested to know How novel it is and that what takes what takes one of these larger players to be like, wow, it's a generator You know, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead just make my own highly on here You know, but you know, I think a question that will like what what what is the The protection, um, I know there's uh proprietary technology and all that um But uh, I have I'll have those same questions too So that's my time I was explaining another company that I cover. It's imperative that you force yourself To come up with the bull thesis on a company that you're so bullish on to come up with a bear thesis um It's important Because stock market investing is very lucrative But it's the reward of of of a fair and impartial look at a company I know a lot of people that are really really hyped up on companies that I wouldn't even touch I don't even like to look at them. I mean, I feel not right when I look at them that bad What if the stock goes up? Well, they're right and I'm wrong from a stock perspective as as As you know, um convicted as I was or not convicted on a specific name The stock market has an interesting way of of humbling you and it's like I said It's going to happen at a time when neither you nor me nor anybody in the highly on discord group is going to Forecast I talked to a guy this week. He called me actually He's starting to get very bullish on on highly on right now and he was like He was like in 2023 my thesis is that we're going to have a flush out in the stock And it's going to be the last flush out in the stock that's going to drive it down to an arena that neither me and you could even Forecast and that's going to be that point on a flash boom But it's going to hit that bottom and and start to appreciate value And I was like, well, I don't know I I'd like to exercise the convenience of saying that I don't agree with you I don't think that's going to happen. I think if you look at a long-term chart here I mean we've been basing at the three dollar level for a long long time And and I think we've established some level of support at these levels I think the market is satisfied with a current value with the lack of revenue right now that it's got valuing the company right now where it is, but um I think it's undervalued and I think they need to start to materialize Some of those things that they said they would do and I believe that they will I really do I I've got a heart to heart belief in this and The sentiment over the last month. I think has changed. Wouldn't you agree? Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. Um, especially as uh more things have been coming out about, um Nicola, um I think more investors are starting to see at the highly unsolutions making sense I don't know if you follow net gas at all, but uh The sentiment there. I mean you're starting to see more companies UPS and FedEx. I've always used natural gas, but um at amazon too. I live in uh central, Ohio So I'm in a uh, I'm in a prime prime location. Um, I posted a video Or a clip on twitter a while ago about I lived by a UPS, uh depot And I was pulling out every every tuesday when I pull out I see a C&G Um, let's uh, sorry clean clean energy truck truck leave um UPS and there's these huge, um, uh Natural gas tanks that UPS uses that you have their own yard fuel Um, I've driven down to the the amazon Seeing a clean energy facility and saw the cng trucks. I see them all the time around here FedEx as well. So I'm actually seeing change which, um I see them when I see article read articles about the landscape changing the reality of full bev It's really starting to hit the The media outlets I feel um, I think fleets and companies already already see it, you know, we've heard multiple times about them not How expensive it is for the infrastructure um That they have to pay for like like I said, I was saying um earlier today I was I was having a conversation with somebody and I was talking about how you not if you buy a tesla semi You're not just buying a tesla semi. You're buying a tesla system Because you need that charger. You need that, you know, you need those, uh, the utility upgrades if the utility companies want to Give you the amount of upgrades you need to run your fleet um, we see that you um Pepsico only got four chargers. I think that was probably that wasn't by design. Um That maybe that's all the utility would allow them to have so there's a certain thing. There's a lot of There's a lot of barriers that are hitting fleets and I think the reality started to catch up with the sentiment whereas Okay, we're looking at all these buvs and screaming hydrogen and buv and all this but the reality is sinking in that um cng Is more of a realistic approach and I think that uh, finally the the media's catching up Yeah, but x man, this is pepsi, man. This is not small potatoes, man They purchased these trucks, man This is real you know So it's going an awful long way in this whole like, oh, hey, maybe we just made a mistake. I mean What am I missing? I but I'd also think like pepsi To my understanding like I they haven't Outlast I was told pepsi got 15 or supposed to get 15 trucks, right? Um But when I heard people at the At the event they said they were only four trucks there that doesn't mean that pepsi didn't have more um but uh If pepsi lost uh They're looking to get 100 or from the original order if they stick to that, right? Um, they're going to need more than four chargers four mega chargers so They'll have to upgrade their There you to they're out to upgrade their infrastructure and I'll I'll just ask myself Uh, perl, I'd have random 10 hat thoughts like Why did test why did pepsi originally knowing they're ordering 100 only install four chargers? I have my idea too. I have my idea I I think they're doing it for r&d That's what I think they're doing I think they I don't think they're doing it with the 100 certainty that it's going to work out And they're going to integrate their over-the-road fleet And it's going to be a viable solution. I honestly think they're doing it to play the first inning of the game Tesla biggest biggest name in the game. Okay. I mean dispute me right as as painful as that is for me to say Right. Why not just go with an established oem? Bring these trucks in line It's a pr event at best, right? I mean good grief you get to in any capacity fly the flag of green That's positive for your company. Okay, and for a company like that. See the images Of the utmost importance. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I did Sorry, I did a video a while back about the um, how these how these companies buy these uh, these little um credits to say that they gave money to the to this company that plants trees Yeah, down to the amazon They pay farmers not to not to cut down their the money they spend On these little pr stunts to get their esg credits esg scores up or esg scores up Yeah, so they so so is that what this is? Is it I Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna give tesla the benefit of the doubt and say Pepsi's really making a bold move here putting millions of dollars into tesla If if somehow pepsi likes what they see out of tesla tesla comes out of this a winner They've got an established big player in the industry, right Integrate on those routes that it makes sense I mean dooner said that on his interview with thomas heli said, you know I really wish tesla would just go after that market that makes more sense and dooner is a trucker He understands the industry, right? So his suggestion to actually Just say focus on this and say here's what we're going after because we acknowledge here's our range and and what we're looking at Um, but I don't I don't sense that I I have a lot of questions when it comes to my evaluation Even when I read an article about my company highly on it reads a lot different than if you read an article from nikola Or tesla, they just read differently. I'm like waiting for the a minute ends and I'm like you didn't tell me anything I'm not I'm not smarter. What happened? I come on. I'm trying to be I'm not trying to be cynical here Are you being? I'm just from my lens. That's what it is. Just got I want to highlight this man You want to take this comment from zero f u x this pretty cool actually In the uk owning an eb car is painfully painful financially and from a practical point I'll stop there here in the united states. We don't care about that. We care about image Okay, right buying it buying a tesla is a lifestyle. It's a discretionary item Okay, people need to understand that it is a status symbol It's a step in the right direction where where people actually who own a tesla feel like they are Making a better stance and and posturing for the environment. Okay, and and I commend those efforts. I really do but I think sometimes look if I bought a tesla And I had the impression that I could do certain things with it at 380 miles of a range And I'm only getting 200 and the people I talked to it's irritating as hell X I I filled my truck up tonight And it was the one and a half minutes of my life that I can't get back where I get in there Boom. I'm all the way fill up quick up. I'm on a colder tank. I got to go go go and I'm out You know I'm saying I got my daughter on the truck and I'm like I'm out. It's not it's not enjoyable Me sitting at a charger for 30 minutes and it happening. That's just me. Yeah And I I'm often on the youtube world and comments. I'm always like listening and reading about um Trucking I love I love truck. I'm not I'm not a trucker either. I'm a nurse, you know I'm not truck at all, but I love the I love the sector. Um, I'm always I'm student of it And one thing I I came across today is uh, because tesla's a buzzed right now, right? Tesla's on fire. So everybody's talking about is these guys saying that um, well Truckers have to break for a half an hour. Anyway, so they can just charge their semi Why they're on there? Right? I love hearing them, right? You just charge their semi why they're on the half? Yeah, but they're a half an hour break. I'm like That's That sounds good. Um Dinner dinner dinner was like they don't even let these guys go in and loiter They don't even let them go in and use a restroom Let alone let alone just sit there and think about all kinds of stuff that you know Come on man. Yeah and I've also heard I've also heard something about them saying they're going they can put chargers at the at the customer's place when they're in the Docs they can while they're docked. They can charge. I'm like They're one thing I remember that stuck with me 18 will Trucking said that truckers tear up stuff. You know me backing in I'm trying to trying to park the uh the semi Who's going to pay for that that infrastructure? Who's going to put chargers in in these at these docks if I'm a customer?  I don't know what it is. But well well stated I I think I would consider it to be churn Where we we we're we're taking we're trying to advance the conversation and advance at real time with these technologies that are new But we're we're also incurring stepbacks and setbacks And reality checks and I think that's I think that's all right. I do I I I have fun. I pick fun You know tesla's not my thing. Um, I have conversations at work all the time and people are like, yeah, right? You go man because people are like They agree with me man. I think a lot of it is hype man. I I i'm not going snowboarding with uh tesla I'm going with my toyota Tacoma man four-wheel drive if you'd like to follow me in your tesla You're welcome to do that. But good luck It's just it's just not practical for me And I don't mean I I kind of mean to pick fun a little bit But I think some of it is hype I think some people don't truly understand what the lifestyle is going to mean by stepping into that some Must really enjoy it Because here at new york where i'm at They all over the place They're all over the place man.  You know what i'm saying? Everybody'll tell you they're super fast You know, but then they got to go home and they got to charge, you know, they're on the way home. Yeah God man, but uh, well, yeah I agree. I agree cool brother. Well, I'm about to wrap it down here in about a couple minutes anyway, but uh Man, open door policy for you. All right. Do you ever want to catch one of my I always thought my friday live stream was like my My flagship go-to product, but here I throw down on a sunday and I got people people must be bored tonight I got the whole family kick on tonight. Maybe I caught their attention with the great with the tombstone or Having a little fun, man, just like you man with your interview I think that's pretty cool. You know, take a little take a little fun at the situation right now And I think what you the root of what you were trying to draw down on that is what I've kind of talked about in Who is the most? Who is the most eligible to sit across from industry and make that pitch? Exactly? That's exactly what I was going for because um, not the not to hold it up But like no there's that's often whatever i'm having open respectful dialogues with with tesla the nicola Uh Bulls, um, they can't they don't see it from that point. They don't see it from that They're seeing it as these the fleet owner has to adopt this They have to adopt this uh thesis they have to adopt this They're their product. They don't they don't have to do anything No, sir. They don't You know, and I think that that's what they don't that's the missing component is you have to sell your product I don't have to adopt it right away. I have to 20 30 20 30 45, right? so yeah I think that I think they're caught up on hydrogen itself Um and and failed to to draw up a pro and con on hydrogen itself I I really don't that's the only thing I I've heard elan must talk about As far as hydrogen being a terrible a terrible energy source and it is it is it's dangerous It's hard to transport. It's hard to uh maintain stable um, it's just not What is Viable when it is what we know how good fossil fuel and methane is as a fuel source Uh, it's going to be interesting to see this churn kind of play out And I think eventually we're going to find our winners will emerge And I'll continually monitor it and as long as we're in the churn. I'm happy Stock price can do whatever it is going to do but highly on Deserves to be in that conversation. It really does it it deserves a front seat at that table Because from maybe maybe my You know, I'm bullish, right? So you're going to get a you know a bullish thesis on it I think bottom line. They are the most eligible to sit across from industry and make that pitch my friend. That's what i'm saying Yeah, I agree. That's what I was trying to that's what I was trying to show in that in that That uh mock interview. I was trying to show that In that pitch Yeah Between hydrogen and full bev Highly I was the only solution. Well, you didn't have to develop two infrastructures You have to develop your clean infrastructure and you have to develop the charging infrastructure You got to develop your clean infrastructure and then your hydrogen infrastructure Yeah, I was the only solution where you don't have to uh develop two infrastructure simultaneously Well said No, well well said my brother. Well, thanks a ton for coming on man. It was Now we got a face now. I got a face with the name And now you go down man. This was like a debut on the i2 but uh, It's an open door policy man Don't be a stranger stop by anytime man and um, I'll continue to follow you if you don't know man Excalibur 1787 Kick over please for anybody that appreciates his time man. He doesn't have to do this We we both the banter between both of us man There was some really good stuff that came out of it and I hope it was um It was taken well for the benefit of the group out there that we're looking to to fortify and empower on this journey But Excalibur be well man.

I didn't even send him an email or whatever I like I like when people do that I like when people feel like they have a place because he sure as heck does and I just Appreciate his message on what he's been pushing out. I've been mentioning him a little bit on my weekly highly on videos and um Anything I could do to help the guy and uh in closing The very least you could do is kick over there and help build that message as well because he's pushing out some really good information Fantastic livestream tonight guys went a little bit over time on my typical highly on videos I know a lot of people call me the the um the long winded the long winded chap But um, I did want to come on and seek out some some solace from this week Because the great takeover is real And we need to come to terms with the fact that even though you might have a superior product That doesn't always mean that you're going to win out in the end So uh from here going out in tesla. We trust in elon musk. We trust and where the idea Was highly on holdings Um rest in peace my friends and all condolences go out to highly on after this news broke this week of tesla and the 500 Miles of of boasted range on that particular truck.
