Never thought I’d see you with a Tesla

[JohnnyFnG]

I LOOOOVE the random screenshots or household door knobs on car doors or cars crashed into a house... Scotty, you're a legend, keep up the great content

[stephenmstavroff]

I love how Scotty keeps referring to it as "stepping on the gas" lol. Old habits die hard

[BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

One of my complaints about all electric cars, and this one is especially notorious for it, is the replacement of the batteries. They basically make them as disposable cars. I understand the "expense" of the batteries, just as a replacement engine for a Lexus, Mercedes, or Chevy will be expensive. But the labor is relatively minor, and it's certainly a feasible repair. What is/will be the cost to replace the batteries in a 15 year old Tesla? Who will pay a decent used car value on a 10 year old Tesla, knowing the batteries may weaken in 5 years?
If I had been the designer or inventor, I would have tried to make the batteries replaceable in packs, easily done by the owner, or at least any generic mechanic. Sort of like how battery powered hand tools like lawn mowers and snow blowers are. The cars could use 25-50 individual battery packs (maybe under the seats, floor boards, or under the car covered by metal panels), and each pack could have a small display showing the health of the battery. They would be easy to remove and replace without the entire car being torn apart.
I know it's just a wild dream, but I bet electric cars would be accepted by more people if it could be implemented.

Got to love Scotty. His binary can even do 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. What a legend ♥️♥️♥️

My 2021 model S drives smoothly with 400 mile ranges and any recalls are just a download update. Favorite car of all time by a long shot.

[ranggaajibaskara]

I don't think much about gaps in body panels. But for car, it must be perfect

[flycatchful]

My Mercedes 2002 SLK 320 141K miles is still running strong for being 20 years old. Normal maintenance and replaced water pump after 20 years. I would say I got my money worth.

[brentcollins]

We love our Tesla Model 3. My Corvette Z06 collects dust now.

[radybay]

Any repair that I ever had was done within a few days, and they did it in my driveway.

[PLtektonix]

It it fair to point out that the recalls of which you speak are generally "Over The Air" software updates. I've owned 2 Model 3s, going back to 2018...and I have never had a physical recall...only OTA.

[Cruddyaol]

Scotty for a non Tesla fanboy it was a fair review except for the recall information, which is primarily over the air updates that did not affect driving the car. Also, I agree that the Model X looks better with the door up.

[StuartBelote]

Just looked up used Model X, starting in the $60k rangee. I smiled at the fact you had a lot of praises. Ride mode is adjustable with air suspension. I agree their too much money but go price a GMC 2500 diesel. The most expensive part of Teslas are warranted for 8 years and 100k miles. But you will spend a lot on tires is you keep stomping the accelerator!
Do love your videos. Waiting on your F150 Lightning review. I'll let you know how I feel about my Model Y coming next month.

[Bludmon]

When Tesla has recall, it is typically a bug fix in the software. It's like saying if Microsoft releases a security patch for Windows 10, that means a billion plus computers have been recalled. I think my Tesla Model 3 has been recalled like 3 times, and I didn't even notice.

[darwinmauri]

I like the mechanic technology from the 90’s and early 2000’s. Durable and easy to work on

[ILC-eovk]

I love my 6 year old Tesla and I love my gas and diesel vehicles, too.

[briangeeesq]

Scotty, all the doors have physical levers to open them in the event the electronics fail.

[raffinet]

What makes Tesla so different than other manufacturers is that Tesla is a software/AI company that makes electric cars. Thats their passion from day one. The other companies started to make electric cars only after they saw their market share shrinking and the rug getting pulled from under their feet.

[mannboogie]

Car with door knob image was priceless
