My TESLA battery DIED!!! 

6:50 to 7:00 close your eyes

THIS IS PAINFUL TO WATCH. Have you ever let your phone get down to ~15%, then wait 4 days before you charge it again!?!

How the hell you left your Tesla car with only 30 miles charge? It is like you have smart phone with only 8% battery left and after 4 days , you are expecting to remain some battery power.... ???? I don't even have Tesla car, I wish I do have it and use it properly.

If you leave your gas powered car at the airport for 10 months, it still has to have a 12 volt battery to start.

Rich people problems

Next trip, leave your Tesla in your garage and get a Uber to the airport !!! LOL

He’s the type of guy to buy a new Tesla when the old one runs out of battery

Lots of know-it-alls here making fun of this guy, but I find it to be a useful, informative video. People who do not have an electric car should be hearing the whole story, not just the positive hype.

How much school does lincon miss usally? Pls respond

I don't even own a Tesla and i know not to leave an electric car battery that low for 4 days and come back expecting it to stay like that.

Your regular car may still have gas left, but chances are after 10 months......your battery in the gas powered car will be dead as well.

Sure gas cars dont take the power, but imagine that you leave your phone unused for 3 days, its battery will still go down

"First world problems"

This is a common problem in vintage and older petrol/diesel cars as well, the batteries eventually die if the car is left and no charge is being produced. My family collect vintage vehicles and we have to run them at least every 3 months for an extended period of time, over wise we have to jump start or the battery degrades. This also affects newer cars when left for a long period of time, only these types of cars can just be left running in a driveway to recharge the battery, and don't need to actually be driven in order to keep the charge up. The more you know...

Dan: My Tesla died Tesla: using 5% battery parked for 10 months Other people: how about you just take it to the nearest charging station

I know it's old, but I just came across this video today. This is a scenario where something like peer to peer charging would come in handy. I wonder what Ben S would think of that idea.

“Just take it! You know you want it car.” Lol 😂

Why did you not know this? Didn't you read your owners manual?

oh man even just watching this video makes me feel that my IQ is dropping.

When you get past the age of ten, it's REALLY time to turn that hat around! LOL!

Here's an idea....don't let your Tesla battery get so low?? Seriously, it's not hard.

It says in the users manual that the battery loses charge, and you leave it with 30 miles?

4 tips to keep your Tesla from dying when your traveling 1 leave Tesla or other EV at home use uber to get to the airport 2 if tip 1 isn't possible try using the chargign station at the airport' 3 if no chargers present use the moble connector 4 take short trips so your battrey doesnt drain

bring a gas generator, plug it in and let it charge until it runs out of gas lol. you'll then have enough power to get home or to the nearest charging station.

This information about battery drain is very well documented and understood. There is a feature to power the car off for storage, which is in the menu. You are supposed to use it. If you do, range loss should be much less, in the neighborhood of 1% of charge per day.

Buddy, you drive a Tesla 150 bucks for a tow shouldn't be a problem

Looks like he made $10k+ from letting his Tesla die lol

The fluid is circulated within the intermediate layer by a pump to ensure both the seat bottom and seatback are evenly heated and cooled, without one spot getting too hot or cold.

never thought things would go dirty at 6:50

Got a 100k car - complains about 150 bucks. Gas car isn't using gas while parked but it's using it's battery a bit, it is common sense.

Should've just used an extension cord and the 120v adapter lol

Good to know. Thanks for the information thru your experience.

page 6.4 of the manual states "Battery Care Never allow the Battery to fully discharge. Even when Model S is not being driven, its Battery discharges very slowly to power the onboard electronics. On average, the Battery discharges at a rate of 1% per day. Situations can arise in which you must leave Model S unplugged for an extended period of time (for example, at an airport when traveling). In these situations, keep the 1% in mind to ensure that you leave the Battery with a sufficient charge level. For example, over a two week period (14 days), the Battery discharges by approximately 14%" Its in the manual ..... baaahhhhhh!!!!!

I mean if you park regular gas car for 10 month, sure it won't burn gas but the battery on it would decrease.

@6:51 I thought he was going to spit on it and keep trying lol

You should always clean the tip of the charger before you put it in the car

You left it on a 30 miles and max range of Tesla P90D model when is full capacity is 270 miles?!? And you complain here about you don't have any more juice in the batteries?

Uhm why so surprised? When you leave your phone for a couple of hours the battery percentage will also go down?

You guys are the ones who got me into Tesla thanks Daniel. Nice car👌

I love watching dan be so happy about pulling off the front thing

You could have just brought an extra charger and a normal power outlet adapter, charge it there.

Why would you let it uncharged to such a low State? Don't get a tesla if you don't know to maintain one. Please

backwards hat... such a rebellious mormon look.. cool bro

Pay $150 for towing? AAA or insurance would cover that

7:15 your wearing those yeezys like flip flops.

that was your fault dude. why would you leave your car in the airport when you only had 30 miles?

So glad you shared this. All the people saying bad things about you is not warranted. Most people want to buy a Tesla because of the low maintenance. This was very informative. Thank you!

also, you can call Tesla's hotline, 24/7, and get live advice/instructions, that very minute. It uses power, all the time, since it is 'talking,' to the satellite, for updates, etc.

had 30% battery left 3 days ago and surprised that it died, this guy really has no idea how things work

Bro seriously park it in the electric vehicle parking? They have chargers and it's closer to where you need to go...

"it wont take the charger" *continues to stab until it accepts defeat*

Your video saved many people from buying Tesla and hiring a towing truck.

That was your first mistake, having less than 30 miles on an electric car and turning it off? Do you turn off your iphone when it's at like 2%? No, you charge it. Bruh, use yo head.

Petrol/Diesel car left for a long time will discharge the battery, even though the fuel in the tank remains as it was. Hence, undriveable.

I'm a tow truck flatbed driver and we deal with teslas all the time. the newer ones will have a little piece that you'll pry off in the front (looks like a sensor but bigger) that will expose the charge cables to jumpstart the 12v. usually its located in the front of the car on the driver side. also if the charger port ever gets stuck from a dead tesla (model s) you can pop the trunk, on the left side of the trunk there will be a carpeted circle almost that you can pop of . inside you'll find a small switch right behind the wire to the battery that you can switch to release the charger. literally just had to do this to a tesla a few days ago lol

6:50 Me in the middle of the night having bed troubles

Great video, I always like to see positive people like you show how you get out of a sticky situation. Extra props for treating the tow truck guys like normal human beings. Also great editing..

Doesn't understand technology; complains about technology.

3:38 Technical Guruji tone

“Just take it, you know you want it”. Lmao

You could have got a petrol generator and charged the battery up that way.

You don’t wear yeezys like some slippers

a Gas car also uses battery while parked ..in order to keep the electrical systems running

So if you park your Tesla near the airport and go on a 3 week vacation, the battery will be dead when you come back.

Learn how to use your $100K vehicle

Seems like there would have been an electrical outlet somewhere in that garage. Maybe he only needed to pick up the portable charge cable and long extension cord or rent a generator from home depot for an hour. Although, guess it would not have been as interesting of a video. Who knows, maybe he let the battery run down in order to make the video and possibly get something from Tesla.

3:37 he starts playing a song well know cuz of idubbbz

at 3:04 my captions said batshit so you know what that means DEMONATIZED

feel sorry for the car having such an Iq deficient owner

lmao the guy who makes a living off of taking things apart couldnt take apart his car.

Dan: Car won't start Lincoln: why? That's awesome

Grrrr i really Want a Tesla but im only 13 tho🙄

way to neglect the battery and then complain about it when it dies,

on newer teslas you open the Frunk with a secret handle and there is the battery so you connect it

$150 to get your car towed? What state do you live in?

You say how the tow truck guy doesnt want to hit the truck. Then go stand right into the path of his mirrors. LOL😂😂

Who else saw the mansion in the back round at 1:33 like "I wanna live there"

it's because there is a high tech computer inside the car that's why the screen is there and remember it updates like an iPhone so that's why it's using 5% of your battery a normal car dosnt have all of that to keep updating and checking while it's off

*starts carelessly ramming charger into car worth excess of £75,000* me: -COoL iT ARNie!-

I would have brought 3 50 foot extension cords and used the UMC to plug into the car. Granted that's only at maximum 5 miles of charge per hour. But after a couple of hours you could then drive to any ev charger to charge faster than 5 miles per hour. Put about how many miles you need to reach a supercharger then charge her up. I got a call from a friend who drives a Tesla model 3 and did the same thing you did, stop checking the state of charge with your phone as it fully wakes up the car and uses a lot of power. After three weeks he arrived to find it had power for roughly 45 seconds before it died. He then called me asking if I could help. I asked if the battery still had power which it did so I told him to remove the UMC connector and plug it into the car and I was bringing him over a 100 feet of the extension cords which when I plugged the together and into a 120 volt socket the car slowly came back to life. Three hours later we left the parking lot and drove to a nearby destination charger he didn't know about. 40 amps of charging later we walked over to a restaurant where he bought breakfast and was very happy when his phone went off and the car announced it had sufficient power to make it home. He had selected home as his destination. He now carries 4 50 foot extension cords for oh no! Events. He also learned not to check the state of charge unless the car is plugged in to a 110 volt outlet which when your gone over a week will easily charge the car to 90 percent. No need to plug into an ev charger when a 110 volt outlet will do for long term parking. You learned an expensive lesson, kindly learn from it. Thanks for posting.

Yup lesson learned. Don't drain it so low. Do you fill it up at home?

RTFM would have prevented this situation - as usual....

You could have put it on regenerative breaking while towing So that the rotating front tires regenerated and charged some of the battery

the frustration here is so palpable 🤣🤣

from my experience a gas car wont start if u keep it idle for more than a couple of months cuz even in newer gas cars the car uses some percent of the battery from the cars main battery for keeping the electronics on board the car working. so you are mistaken in a way. yeah obviously gas wont deplete but your battery will die either ways. and in gas cars if u keep the gas stored for a long period of time say more than 6 months or so then the gas gets spoilt in many cases it also starts turning into a stick substance such as tar inside the pipes and stuff.

If you would've read the manual you would've known that. Not Tesla's fault.... Your fault!!

about the battery, i learned in science in school that electricity is stored in the battery and when you first put it in it will release the electricity and if you keep the battery in it will still drain. So you should take the battery out every night because if you take it out the electricity will become static electricity and stay in the battery and not get used.

Great video, Tesla's battery technology has improved tremendously in 5 years

The problem getting out of the parking spot was your horrendous parking job. Yeah, blame that truck parked properly. So many comments about you owning a Tesla. I tend to agree - it's the wrong car for you. Get a Camry...

Has a tesla but complaining about $150 towing fee 😒

You need one of those little power pack things my kids use to pump up the tablet when it's dead. Just leave it plugged up to the car with a solar panel to keep it running, or maybe a little mouse running on a wheel or something while you're gone.

At the parking garage your battery was in an extreme power-saving mode that allows you to put it in neutral to perhaps roll it to an electrical outlet (and connect the mobile charger) or put it in tow mode so it can be easily towed. If your battery was completely dead, you would not have been able to open the doors. Any combination of the following will help with the long term battery drain: An increasing number of airports and third party lots have EV charging spots or a vallet charging service. Charge up the battery near where you are going to park it or charge to 100% before you leave, and be an efficient driver to the airport. Take your mobile charger (and an extension cord to be safe) with you. Avoid using your Tesla app. Apps and other services that talk to your vehicle will wake up it up. It can takes 12+ hours for the vehicle to go back into "deep sleep". If you use third party apps (Tesla-Fi, Tezlab, Remote S, etc) change your password and do not update the password in the apps until you return. Enable "Energy Savings" under Power Management and uncheck "Always connected". Note: Model 3 have no "Energy Savings" mode. Disable "Pre-conditioning" (Model S/X only) and "Cabin overheat protection" -- although these should stop functioning after vehicle goes into deep sleep (unless battery reaches an extreme temperature). Park where the vehicle is protected from extreme temperatures. Consider wind direction in the winter (and park where it is blocked from the wind). Avoid direct sun during warm weather. Trade your car with an ICE vehicle from a friend/family member for the week. Leave your car somewhere where you can leave it plugged in and get an Uber, train, one-way car rentals, etc to/from the airport.

You can leave a gas car parked for months, but the battery will still be drained on that gas car 😂

Be advised that every time you check the status of the car in order for it to do that the car must full turn itself on which if you already know the battery is low don't check it as it uses a bit of power to tell you the battery is low. Question 2 Why are you still charging at home on a 120 volt outlet? Have a simple 14-50 outlet installed and you charge at up to 31 miles per hour instead of 3 or 4 miles per hour. Then you will wake up to a fully charged battery every morning ( 85%) instead of less. Question 3 If your charging cable for the car is long enough why not plug it in for 10 minutes would give you enough power to release the parking brake and roll her off the ramp bed. The flashing lights after the tow driver jumped the 12 volt battery to get it off the truck wasn't enough juice after he disconnected the booster battery the car didn't have sufficient power to work properly which is why the lock mechanism was giving you problems plugging in. Just mark it up as a learning experience on the idiosyncrasies of an EV.

That happened to me before but with a Tesla like you. I have the model X

What's inside family: we won't show his face At time-lapse video of towing tesla: *We can show his face*

RTFM. Read the f manual. 😎 Honest mistake, not many people read manuals. But when it comes to new (sorta) technology don't assume anything.

I have a taxi tesla x 35,000 mile, I use it everyday 200 miles a day, I've never had a problem from doors or problems with the battery, I have to charge it everyday, and the only thing I can say is that it's the best car that I have used in this business rather than different brands, I don't understand why your so negative with the tesla, I am 62 and I've have 19+ different brands of cars, my opinion is that tesla is the best.

The reason why your tesla uses 2 to 5% of the battery every day when you’re not using it is because it needs to have battery power to run some of the functions

U really need to refer the manual☺️
