This guy is totally misinformed: Chances of it bursting into flames are less than a gasoline car. It costs my wife and I $30/month, for BOTH our Teslas, and that was before we put solar on the roof - now we drive free! Tesla is safer that almost all gasoline cars, per NHSTA. No maintenance, the brakes last 15,000 miles. Constant improvements with over the air updates. 80 Watt?!?!? Try a 40A dryer line. My M3 and wifes MY - MADE in USA with 75% domestic content! Dashcam and security system included.
With this early summer heat where I live I lose about 10 percent SoC using AC (reading the energy app in car) using 80 percent total on a week..... Just drove to work and it used 0.6%.
Not touching the brakes and never needing the brakes to be fixed is a bad thing. They'll get jarry, you need to chip off the brakes hard once in a while
@@pinkiepie1656 leasing a 2020 Mercedes C300 and own a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0T Reserve. Took the Mercedes in for maintenance, and was given an EV loaner. Sterile driving experience and got nauseous with the regenerative breaking. Facts. Climate change is bullshit. Now they are saying cows burping and farting is increasing emissions.
@@pinkiepie1656 theirs plenty of China built cars that are just as fast as teslas. They also due cost cutting exercises just like tesla. Do u not understand that brands like bmw, mercedes, etc.. are premium luxury brands. Their inteirors, fit and finish, etc... is levels better then teslas. It's like u think tesla has some secret way of making their cars cost less. They cut corners in certain areas in order for them to have their price wheres it at where others don't.
The container ship thing was entirely fictional. No idea where he heard that. There WAS a car transporter ship that caught fire. It didn't sink. And the fire started 3 floors ABOVE where the EVs on board were being stored. Every EV on the ship was driven off it when it got towed to port.
As usually EV haters gets a couple of facts wrong, your electricy bill doesnt quadruple, it may add 2000 kWh/year and unless you only use 670 kwh/year it ain't a quadruple. $5000 for an electrical installation for the EV is also not even close to the $500-$1000 it may cost for the best solution - I know It's a year ago and since then the prices have dropped significantly. The fire risk is exaggerated as well, the chances that his ICE car will catch fire is 10 times higher and if it is a hybrid it is 20 times higher
Don't forget: Most American made car. Pikes Peak winner in Model 3. EV's ACTUALLY catch fire, per miles driven, about 10% of the time compared to ICE. etc etc etc....
I’ve saved this video and will share it with family and friends. Covering what the 2 of you just covered takes the burden off of me (I find doing it myself far too exhausting). I don’t own an EV, but that’s only because I’m impatiently waiting for my CT reservation to work it’s way to the top of the queue. I’m not getting any younger, but my wife and I are ready to retire our faithful Jeep and spend some serious time crisscrossing this great nation in the CT. I only wish you had FSD 12 in your car - I bet you would have gotten a few more WOWS! I have a good appreciation of your friend and his willingness to let go of old opinions. Good for him, but tell him his daughter may really appreciate her long soccer road trips in a Tesla! 😊😊😊😊
People need to remember that all technology has negative effects in the baby stages of rollouts, and the EV battery will have many issues. However, if people don't buy into EV Technology, it won't get the chance to improve greatly. Things cost alot in the beginning due to paying back investors and the cost of research and development. Licensing and other costs are attached to innovation . I personally can not wait for this tech to be able to give senior citizens more freedom to travel due to the self driving components being worked on.
I think this video shows exactly how to kindly walk a friend through truth. And a good friend who’s humble and honest to learn and experience first hand. This applies to many things in life. Nice works lads.
In 2020, data showed that gasoline and diesel cars had a fire rate of 153 per million sales, while electric cars had only a rate of 2.51 fires per million sales. This represents a risk about 60 times higher for thermal vehicles compared to electric vehicles.
The acceleration and horsepower are great but there is so much more to talk about like the adjustable suspensions and safety features. You should highlight those as well and show people the touchscreen.
And that shows exactly why I won't buy an EV at this point. Basically 20 minutes spent at the charger to add 200 miles of estimated range which is more like 170 miles of real world range. When you consider the time spent getting to and from the supercharger (they are usually not conveniently located) it's a 30 minute detour for 2.25 hours of driving. Or for a 70 miles round trip commute for someone who can't charge at home, an extra 30 minutes added to the commute every 2-3 days.
