Tesla HATER Takes a Tesla Test Drive! -MUST SEE His Model 3 Reaction! -Compelling Elon Musk Product! 

I agree. A man who listens, is open to facts and ideas, is deliberate and can admit he was wrong is a real man.

@@marks-0-0 agreed. This Jeff guy was very open minded, 10/10

Not" mistakes" "Misconceptions"

Seems his education was from an echo chamber. Now let's get him some education on climate change.

@@northsource7215 Agreed. Most of these misconceptions don't come from "the media", they come from a far right echo chamber that repeats a lot of false info about EVs (and climate change), though I have heard some of it repeated in the main stream media as well.

and he was struggling with it the whole time...

Can only respect someone who walks through this world with open eyes, mind and heart.

Hopefully, someone he respects and trusts will give him some more information on climate change. Lake Mead would be a good place to start.

There is hope for some 'Muricans

I mean .. the facts are truly in his face at that point. If he hadn't changed his mind at that point, it would just show an extreme ignorance.

Greetz from germany, i have an Ev aswell but there are still problems with non tesla Evs. The charging infrastructure can be thin in sone places, or the charging ports are broken or dont work. You have to wait until its charged up enough, and the heater takes a good chunk out of your driving range if its cold. But still love my Ev , but an e motorcycle nahhhhh...

​@@captainnutzlos3816 It's not a problem in France 😉

Driving electric is a far superior experience in all respects to ICE vehicles.

It seemed like more of an education rather than a debate 😁

I completely agree with this

I feel like Barbarian wouldn't be as open minded if he were put into a supercab. /s

I also appreciate that they both acknowledged they had opposing views on climate change, and they just agreed to disagree and moved on.

Being wrong isn't bad, what are the odds someone is right about everything? The only way to be right more often is to be willing to change your mind with new information.

@@graysonsmith7031 Being wrong should ideally be a great thing. You get to learn something new and improve your knowledge of the world. Shame its almost always seen the other way around, and people react to it accordingly.

@@graysonsmith7031 which is exactly their point---no one is truly right about everything, and being willing to change your mind and having that open-minded characteristic is very admirable in a world where the media pushes on "you're right, no matter what".

Good to here from a Aussie and know information that relates to us eg Cities towns distances in kilometres thanks mate I wanna Tesla

Is FSD available in Australia?

@@gopro2980 Think it's only America and Canada. He's probably thinking of basic autopilot.

@@gopro2980 I have the full package but not the Beta program yet. I still get most of it, and it makes long distance driving so easy.

@@aikidoshi007 No you dont :-) but glad you like basic autopilot.

But imagine if they did have a marketing/PR department. All this misinformation could be eliminated. Not sure if it is worth the money but it seems like it would be worth something.

The product sells itself… advertising or PR money spent would be a waste. Tesla is already overloaded with orders they can barely keep up with. I think Elon wants the slow creep, but then again he keeps building new factories everywhere.

Other EVs can use superchargers

Thing is, Teslas don't need to be sold or advertised in a conventional sense. Tesla can't keep up with the demand as it is. There is a hold on ordering right now because they can't build them fast enough.

@@dIsRuPtOrMoDe Yes, but to some extent that is due to customers like him.

I thik he would want a cybertruck more. It would be interesting to see his reaction to one.

@@idarekorval8077 Or even a Model Y would be a better fit, since the cybertruck is not out yet.

@@idarekorval8077 It wouldn't surprise me if at some point he will get a Model Y to bridge the waiting time for a Cybertruck.

@@niveshproag3761 those are so ugly though, get a more attractive ev

@@roboticvenom1935 True

Yes I wondered about that too!

Next episode! Solar charging Virtual power plants (money back)

Lmao good point

I was wondering how many converts are created by every new Tesla owner taking friends out for rides. Can’t wait to do it when I get my MYLR next year.

@@jeffpicken5057 The products are *so good* that is exactly why Tesla does not have to advertise. The more Teslas Tesla sells. The more Teslas Tesla sells. It literally is known a the "Tesla effect" - New owners are so impressed they encourage all of their friends and family to try it. That in turn creates more new owners who do the same, and so on...

Bjørn for the win!!

We’re actually lucky to have all these “later adopters” since it will take a decade or more for Tesla to ramp up to its steady-state demand/capacity. Somebody will have to buy old used ICE cars or quick-and-dirty legacy EV designs in the meantime. And then later when they buy a Tesla will be amazed at how much they’ve improved. LOL

Anybody who doesn't like EVs .tough! That's what's coming, . Or you can stay behind and push your ice car.

Agreed, sadly...but their loss...drive a more expensive car to fill up, more expensive car to maintain, slower car with less tech, less safe car, less convenient car - sounds like nothing but losing for the haters

Give them time.

Misinformation is a dangerous weapon indeed, when employed en masse it becomes propaganda. Remaining cognizant of information sources has never been more important.

Imagine a congested inner city with all eletric motors instead of smog and diesel fumes.

I 2nd this.

True, I could give three flocks about the climate change narrative. This is the best car I’ve ever had and I hope I never have to go back to an ICE car. I don’t even look at cars I used to salivate over, like ferraris, porsches, aston martens.

My thoughts exactly!!

That is exactly how I look at it…not an environmentalist but I am a tech person and Tesla has got the cool tech for a car/SUV.

I'm not an owner, but I've been "aware" since 2012 and on the front line since.... 2015

The thing is, it’s a Tesla and the Wow factor is just a standard feature … who cares where it is in the range, most days it’s just a car. If it passes cars quickly and safely that speaks volumes …

If only the Tesla designers would get away from the bland exteriors. Hyundai Ioniq 5 is my choice.

Which model 3?

@@roboticvenom1935 I'm not even sure. It was a while back now and his car is a couple years old. They might not even make his exact configuration anymore. (Knowing the owner, I suspect it is NOT the performance model.) My biggest mistake was being WAY too close to the semi truck when I punched it. I was accustomed to driving a Nissan Altima which has a throttle delay long enough to read a small book. That's when I learned that "instant" torque does not mean "mostly instant" torque. It means now. It means right freaking now.

That's one of the first thing you learn in the teslas, change lane first then accelerate :)

Exactly!!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying your Model Y, and that you’re enjoying the channel!

Ice vehicles says it all. INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES. Those vehicles have a way higher rate of catching fire it's literally in their name. Internal combustion engines. They have firewalls to give an example. I can't remember numbers but the chance of an ICE vehicle catching on fire is way hire than an electric.

" I scheduled a test drive in KC. That’s all it takes." Yeah, I warn people, don't do a test drive unless you have already confirmed you have the budget for it. Caus you will buy one.

Our light bill went up $32 a month. The estimated gas savings is $110 to $132 per month.

You could've gotten another EV that isn't an ugly blob and and for much less "Out of my price range" other EV's exist!

I had a friend actually tell me he thought they were sinful.

@@windsurfertx1 Ex friend?

All of them... ;)

True, he deserves the truth. The only problem would be if he was also spreading disinformation as fact (I doubt it, he seems like an awesome, level headed, genuine guy), but that's how they go so far and wide, those being disinformed help the spread. It's clearly from the oil industry and fossil fuel party that we get all of this disinformation.

Hmmm. If I am told something, I check it out. I am therefore immune to misinformation. Its not hard to do.

@@dgbucko you are but immune dummy

A Model S Plaid would blow his mind.

So pleased you enjoyed it. I call mine spaceship. Crazy cool car.

Not to mention the Rivian or Ford F150 Lightening. Which were not mentioned.

@@SolidAir54321 They're the horderves, the main course is coming from Texas. (P.S...... "Lightning" 😉)

If they're in your mirrors, that's their problem? 😉

Jeff and I have been great friends for years, we don’t have to agree on everything to be friends LOL Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!

But the BMW give you a more quiet ride on the highway, especially on rough asfalt as we have in my country. The Model S is also more quiet than Model 3 (Like BMW) So when buying a Tesla I would go for the Model S 👍 And yes, I have driven all Tesla models on sale and many many other EVs and ICE cars to compare with. 🙂

@@Nisse977 the BMW is not more quiet than my M3LR. Sorry ole chap, you are mistaken.

@@guerro327 Yesterday I drove my friends Model 3 LR -2021. And man was it noisy! Not in low speed of course, but when driving at 45-75 mph the tirenoise is very present and the noise from the frameless sidewindows are so high that I first thought that the window can not be 100% closed, but after pulling on the switch I could confirm that it actually was closed. Maybe there is something wrong with my friends car, maybe the sidewindow needs some adjustment? I do not know, but what I do know is that my 15 year old BMW´s are way way quieter that that car. (I have a 130i -07 and a 550i touring -07) I am thinking about buying a Tesla as my next car. I do not change cars very often. I have tested many EVs and like many of them, but one of my demands is that it is comfortable and quiet to live with. I testdrove a brand new Model X last year, it was not quiet. And I also been testing 3 different models of Model S, they were good! On par with my BMW 550i regarding noise level at highway speed 👍I also liked Porsche Taycan, but I think it is to expensive.. Regardless of what my experiences are with Model 3, if you are satisfied with your car, that is 100% perfect because you own a Model 3 and I do not :)

You're "poking the bears"! 😉

In 65+years of driving junkers to brand new ,i have never had a fire . Luck or careful maintenance. The fact the ev s are so propriatary in parts and programs lack of repair facilites unreliable charging network . I still want one just not yet.

he missed the opportunity to mention that cellphones have been known to catch fire in their infancy! the problem was identified, fixed, and move-on.....same with EV's. now technology always has teething problems.

​@@charlespaine987valid but not all EVs are like that. The Aptera for example has solar on top so rarely would you need to plug in, and has right to repair

You are going to love it. Just don't drive it like you stole it, or you'll wreck it, and then you'll be sad!

You are really blessed. I can't wait to be in the position to order a Model X Plaid. Its on my vision board.

LUH-KEE!

And depending on your mileage the savings should make a big dent in that installation cost. ($247 *saving* (!) in the month mentioned)

The model x is ugly

She should take a test drive and at least make an INFORMED decision.

What does she not like about them?? Especially now we’re looking at $2 a litre…?

Mate, come to Kiwi land ill take for a long drive. Lol

Opposite in my house. My daughter bought one first and she asked me to drive it and I ordered one that day. I have a mid engine corvette convertible and I love it but still prefer the Tesla

@@zwieseler great article, and I am not a Tesla hater at all, it's a amazing machine with what musk has created. with that said I have been a gearhead for many years, both 2 and 4 wheels. Also have some high performance credentials, been on racetracks numerous times, so I have some knowledge. Every man made device has plus' s and minus's . But the Tesla dudes kinda pompus attitude comes off as the typical Tesla PROPAGANDA fanboy. Only giving one side of the story( i.e. propaganda) , and never any drawbacks, the way honest reviewers did decades ago. An e.v is NOT the best choice for everyone, at least now! Again, before Tesla fans throw a hissy fit like a scorned school girl reading this, EVs are the future. However, right now, there are a lot of drawbacks to e.v.'s. What if you live in an apartment?( charging it) , OR the fun fact producing e.v. batteries is EXTREMELY inefficient. To produce one 1000 pound e.v. battery, nearly a half a million pounds of material has to be excavated( and by slave labor). Or, the sad fact lately Tesla's woefully inadequate autopilot have killed 2 motorcyclists. The plaid is the fastest quarter mile production car*, beating million dollar European hyper i.c.e. cars ( it pains me to say this). However, for it's crazy straight line speed, the plaid has God awful crappy brakes.and this is NOT my opinion. Don't believe me? Look up the pros comments from car and driver magazine about on a twisty road driving a plaid at speed they had to slow down after a few hard braking episodes with the brakes emitting burning smell( and the cars dashboard flashing a hot warning light. Really,???? ?After just several hard stops?on a 120 grand+ ( dollar) 1000 h.p.performance sedan???????? With all this said, e.v's are the future. Laws passed to force the public in buying these ( the sleazy politicians INVEST in e.v. companies (they buy stock in those companies, and their families)) have been enacted, so once zillions of e.v.s are produced , they become filthy rich( er). In closing, hats off to Elon for producing a electric vehicle that works as well as it does. It still has it's teething problems, and is far from perfect ( especially FOR everyone!) Still was fun to watch this video. *DISCLAIMER, I was incorrect regarding one fact, there is a e.v. that is faster than a plaid. Hint, it is NOT produced in North America, it's a coupe( 2 door), and the FIRST production unit ( though I'm not sure if a version has been produced for North America markets), was bought by the Formula 1 ( racing) world champion icon Nico Rosberg. Look it up! Thanks to the owners for sharing their positive stories. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!

Even more fair, Porsche fire count is much, much worse. And all LG chem designed powertrains seem to suffer from this defect at some level, including the e-Niro and Kona electric and who knows else.

OH... you need to get hold of the Plaid for him to drive...lol :):)

According to 2020 NTSB vehicle fire data there were about 173,000 gasoline cars and only 52 electric car fires. Stated in a more dramatic fashion there are about 474 gasoline car fires per day and .14 electric!! You've got to look at a week to see your first electric car fire. Based on units sold, that's 1,530 gasoline cars per 100,000 and 25 electric per 100,000 caught fire. It should also be noted that despite selling more EVs than any other manufacturer, Tesla represents only a small percentage (4-5/yr) of the EV fires, yet they make the biggest news.

@@UTubeRangerBob the difference is even more dramatic when you compare to hybrids. Hybrids have about 2x as many fires per 100k as ICE cars.

@@GROND15 I didn't know that!
