He sounds like Ahnuld! He sounds exactly like Arnold Schwarzenegger, if Arnold spoke Mandarin. It's 'fluent' in the sense that it's grammatical, but he still has trouble with the tones. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good effort, but still somewhat in the uncanny valley to my ears.

Here's what I understood by the statement: Mazda is down-converting the voltage from the 25V stored in the capacitor system down to 12V so that it can power the electrics in the car.

Yu-gi-oh, but the line is actually, "Don't move, or we'll shoot you with our invisible guns!"

In that case, the 'ohmmeter' was your ears, as you listened to the note…
