Elon Musk's Tesla Master Plan Is About To Become Reality | Answers With Joe

This Friday is a day that over 400,000 people have been waiting for since March of 2016. Tesla is officially handing out the first production line Model 3s to reservation holders.

(over footage)
They first introduced the Model 3 16 months ago to huge fanfare, more than $130,000 people put a thousand dollars down before the car was even revealed.

And, full disclosure, I’m one of them. (hold up card) Now, I didn’t put money down before I saw it, I was adamant about that, I had to see it first. But when I saw it, I was like, “eh, why not?”

I can always get the deposit back if I change my mind.

Now I know it’ll be a while before I get mine and that’s fine, my Jetta diesel isn’t going anywhere.

And before you call me a Tesla fanboy in the comments, I cop to it, I’m a fan. And I’m going to assume most of you watching this are fans because… why else would you watch this video, unless you get off on hating things, which… I dunno, that sounds miserable way to live your life to me, but… Kay.

So this is kind-of a big deal, so I wanted to talk about what this launch event means, both to Tesla and the car industry, and throw in my own thoughts and concerns along the way.

Hold on tight because this video’s going into Ludicrous mode.

Follow me at all my places!

But does tesla model 3 have a headphone jack?

"Unless you like watching things that piss you off."
That's at least a third of users.

Can you please also use the metric system of km in your videos together with miles? There's no need to say it but add it on the screen or something. Would be helpfull.

Self driving cars need one thing by law: a red light sweeping from left to right above the front bumper and the cylon eye sound.

I am a not only a Tesla fan boy, but Elon Musk also. I have a saying: we should build this guy a big freakin statue as a thank you for his vision and ambition to make this world a better place and Earthlings a multiplanetary species!

The 0-60 time you quoted is incorrect. The base model will do it in 5.6 seconds.

Elon Musk is one of this generation's einsteins. He is the kind of person that will lead the human race forward. Tesla, SpaceX, etc. are revolutionary "companies". Elon Musk should be everyone's idol. *He* is the man.

Just took delivery of our model 3, it’s quite interesting watching these older videos.

75 KWH* not 75 watt, that's the same as my laptop.

@Joe Scott Nice work. Keep on rockin'.
Advertising cankerboy at the end "can not speak, I have one right now!" - with three boxes of CB in the back. I know it's a joke but ... :D

[LarsPallesen]

Where did you get the 6.2 second 0-60 time from? It's 5.6 seconds.

*Please do a video about the origins of the company TESLA!*

Your channel is frustratingly underrated. This channel is basically all I need to relax after a long day at work!

[dunkmann]

Hey Joe, nice video! I too am very interested in Musk and Tesla and always enjoy your videos on this topic. I hope the Model 3 reservation works out for you and must say that if you do get one, you have to get the Glass Roof, looks awesome.

why elon doesn't need deodorant?
because people are attracted to his natural musk

While driving my Leaf I already look over to the center often to watch the power draw from the battery. Just having the center display won't be much of a change for me.

I had a chance to buy, and I went all in!
I own a S P100D and I haven't looked back... although I do slow down to pickup my drag strip timeslips! My car does more today than it did when the delivery truck dropped her off. The software updates means this car has not started to depreciate. The comfort of it's ride is equal to its performance which is also equal to its safety.
I love my car, and Joe... you will love your slice of the future too.

[HushTheChaosTV]

your videos are so submersive idk how you dont have more views/subs!

[Gibson]

6:20 you predict the future. So since you've got a reservation, do they email you an ETA or can you check it on their website or something, to kinda get an idea where you are in line?
