I Drove the ELECTRIC BMW iX For 2 Weeks in the World's GREENEST Country
BMW Has finally released their first "True" Electric Vehicle - the BMW iX. But can a classic car maker even produce a good EV? Do they know how to build a "true" Electric Car, and not just an ICE Car that has had its engine replaced with a battery?
To find out, I traveled across the World to the country of Denmark, where I was given an iX40 for two weeks. Denmark is an extremely green country with very high EV adoptation, so I figured it would be the perfect place to test drive the iX.
Join me as I try to make sense of this car, and uncover its quirks, its strengths - and its ONE crucial flaw.
Is thi iX good enough to compete with Tesla?
You'll have to watch to find out.

My OLD Tesla Model S Just BROKE. Now What???
Переглядів 228 тис.Рік тому
Eventually it happens! Your old Tesla Model S goes out of warranty - and then it breaks. We are used to this from old ICE cars, but what happens when an old EV needs a repair? My old 2013 Tesla Model S (P85 Performance) is usually super reliable, but it finally broke down the other day. I checked with Tesla, and they wanted a very high price to repair it - much higher than I expected! So I deci...
Is an OLD Tesla Model S Worth It?
Переглядів 601 тис.Рік тому
A 10 year old Tesla Model S can be had for a price that's much more reasonable than a brand new, 2023 Model S. But are the old, first generation Model S cars still worth it, or are they completely obsolete? The tech in Teslas has changed significantly over the years, but at their core, the original cars are still remarkable in their own way. I bought a 2013 Tesla Model S (P85 Performance Versio...
ALFA ROMEO 4C | An Overlooked SUPERCAR BARGAIN?

I have a long term love affair with Alfa Romeo. My dad had Alfa Romeos when I was growing up, and I learned to drive in a GTV (I even took my test in it). There has always been something very special about the gorgeous Italian Design, and their willingness to put the driver experience above everything else. But in the late 90s and '00s, it seemed like Alfa lost their way a little, and took the ...

    Newport Beach, R8 in the garage, his time invested in DIY repair was probably not worth his time if were it not for the benefit of the income of making the video. Good video though, the older model S's are much more affordable but I'm just not a fan of zionist oligarch Elon Musk.

    if it charges with approx. 35-39kw and it shouldn't, then there is usually something wrong with the cooling on the charger. But when you drive an EV, you never charge to 100% when you sit and wait unless you are forced to, due to a lack of chargers. After all, it takes much longer than just charging less and then charging a little again later.

The kind of idiot, who has had two ICE engines fail (BMW and Jaguar), and who knows that those repairs cost a LOT more than a battery. The kind of idiot, who also knows that the maintenance costs on a Tesla are a fraction of what they are on ICE cars. And the kind of idiot, who has free fuel for life on his car. That kind of idiot… 😊
