Kicking a tire while you keep your hands in your pockets is mandatory for buying a used car. No need for any other checking then that!

I'm a Tesla "fan boy" and I completely appreciate what you do Rich. People like you hold companies and politicians that we like to a standard and point out when they're not doing what they are supposed to do and what they need to do to be better, putting it out in the publics eye to keep them honest. Keep it up Rich.

I have not laughed this hard in a while.

"You've died of dysentery" lmfao

I don't even like Tesla, but Rich is a funny dude his videos are pure entertainment, and some good info too. Way better than Samcrac

[Naultarous]

I so appreciate your realistic view of Tesla. I own and an a fan but I'm also not fanboy blind. It is refreshing to see constructive criticism as no product or company is perfect.
Side note it was great to see you at FCL. I hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as the vast majority of attendees did. See you there next year?

I luuurrrve how Uncle Rich trolls those holier-than-thou aggressive Tesla fanboys who send him hate mail. "Oh, another insulting email? Thanks for the content, BIATCH!"

The Oregon trail game was a memory I didn’t know I had till now 🤣

Uncle Rich: how to inspect a used Tesla

Also Uncle Rich: *buys a Tesla off of Craigslist*

7:38 fog lights prone to fogging... that's a problem.

I am glad that you mentioned that Lower mileage cars may have issues. The cool thing about a higher mileage fairly newer model is that a lot has probably already been replaced under warranty. My screens are new because of bubbles new entire sunroof because of a rubber trim that was unsightly. Battery cooling heating fans etc etc. all replaced at 96, 000 miles my car is like new. You would want all that to happen out of warranty.

I am amazed by the comments, has noone ever bought a used car before. Every car make has a list of faults as long as your arm to check for and I have always looked these up before looking at any used car to buy - and I am old. This is a video about Tesla covering mostly 2 models. Yep it has faults, so does every other car, thank you Rich for providing us with details on this car.

[wurlyone]

Are we meant to notice that ALL the examples of how equipment on Tesla's SHOULDN'T sound or work, are of equipment on Delores? 😂

Good man, Rich 🤗

[zachconroy]

Uncle Rich out there doing the Lord's work!

[ionbobes]

Hey, Rich. I love your videos. You motivate me to watch for a used model S in Europe. Keep it up.

[tkk]

This video is really well done, and more importantly lacks the bullshit clichés that accompany videos from channels with a ton of subscribers. I am a subscriber. 👍🏼

[Mamiya]

Love the primer-grey so much. Keep up the great work man.

[winwin]

Still one of the best Tesla videos even after 3 yrs. Unlike other influencers that are seen as experts Rich is the real deal.

[CharleyGeorge]

Way to go Rich. Thanks for the awesome barrage of information. It very helpfull especially for someone like me who is thinking about getting a Tesla.
