TESLA PERFORMANCE Drive. Tesla Service Nottingham being very helpful.
As we waited for Tesla we realised we needed to get back home. Tesla lady BEC sorted it and the BONUS was that it was a #performance model Y that got handed me.
We had walked around for well over 2 hours and the car had not gone in but it worked in my favour!
I was able to do a review when I got home and the other KK who was Cameraman and passenger came along for the ride and acceleration tests.. THEY FLY!

Yes I did the same when I emptied the dirty water it went all over the clean floor…it cleans well but lots of detritus left in the brushes/rollers it’s impossible to get it all out.how did you clean it after use?
Just flushed it out the best I could… seems ok.
A bit off topic, but could you give me an idea just how big the model 3 is. Is it about the same size as a BMW 3 series or closer to a 5 series? If in VW sizes, a Golf or Passat? or Merc C or E class? They look like probably the 3 series, or C class when I see them driving down the road, but it is hard to judge. If it is bigger, my wife will never let me get one.
Passat / Merc C. The Model S is far bigger more like an E class.
@@KKandEV Thanks, I had an E class before, and my wife wouldn't drive it, but had a Passat which she would drive. The prices are just about where I can afford a reasonable mileage Model 3 now, so I just need to rent one on Toro for a few days to make sure she is happy.
Be aware of the instant Torque off the mark if she has not driven one before!!
@@KKandEV from my understanding, I can set up a profile for my wife and tame things down quite a lot, is it valet mode?

To the Idiots and Arses who have vandalised and been vandalising Cars and more at the Farm… you people need to get caught.
Why should you pay road tax on a EV when it has no emmisions coming out of it?🤔👎😤😖 Well in that case, people who ride push bikes should be paying road tax as well then!👍👏👏
The old idea that it’s purely based on emissions has been partly took away and I partly agree with you. However, ALL VEHICLES wear the roads away, create pot holes and Drivers all want better roads so if the £180-£190 a year makes us all even I’ve no issue. The biggest issue I have is old Smokey Diesels and worn out Petrol cars paying ZERO, £20 or £30 should not happen any longer.
Boycott Elon
So because of one man’s comments you want to boycott and ruin 4 Major future thinking companies that have created tens of thousands of well paid JOBS Worldwide and are still employing. Not to mention the Millions of Tax Dollars to America. Do you buy Rockets, Tunnels , Starlink or even a Tesla car… I’d guess not. You don’t boycott the businesses you get him OUT of them.
I’m actually looking to look into this as it is possible the only form of accommodation we can afford since my partner is unable to continue working due to his spine degenerate issue. What would you suggest? Can we get finance?
Finance on a Lodge can be a thing but the interest rates would not be in your favour if it’s not a FULL RESIDENTIAL site. Anything outside of FULL RESIDENTIAL is classed as a Holiday home and because of value loss over the years you will find it hard to get a loan. They are a “second home” and you will need a full RESIDENTIAL address to give the Site owner when you purchase one.
Very well said, sir! Just discovered your channel and subscribed. Keep up the good work!
My son drives a dual motor long rang Tesla Model 3, he and I love Tesla's. My son in law Drives a hybrid three series bmw and he says he would never buy a Tesla because of Elon. I'm so glad that Elon made Tesla what it is today but now he is ruining Tesla's image with his political rhetoric.
Why should he not exercise his right to free speech, he is not a blind sheep, leave him alone and get a life
I don’t think anyone actually said he couldn’t say what he wants. Have you actually watched it?
Lower prices are always good!👍🏻
Brilliantly said 👍 I agree 100% - about Musk - not sure about Kamala tho’ she leans too far left for my taste . Like you said , there is and should be a balance . At least someone in leadership who is more centric. Our own country 🇨🇦 Canada is facing its own problems with current leadership but that’s another story. I believe that we do have the ability to influence change - but as you said not individually, but collectively. Musk’s fundamental view is what I appreciate, his care for humanity, freedom of speech and fight against bureaucratic BS. Like him or hate him - he has achieved more through his ideas than many have before him. Cheers great video ! Thanks for putting this out there ! 👍
Appreciate the input. 👍🏻
Supporting a racist like elon is a joke.🥥💙
Musk is a smart guy, but how he thinks we will have a civil war when, unlike America, very few people own guns, I'm not sure. Turns out that the good people were in far greater numbers with all the riots, than the bad. These riots were the dying throws of a failed right wing political movement that got shown the door in the General election. Being a bit selfish, I hope Musk's rants get more people selling their Tesla's, it will bring the price down even more, and bring them into the reach of even more people. They are already the best bargain out there in the used market, but this could make them even more attractive. Thanks Elon.
Agreed on all.
I agree.. why have a go at the Cars . They are not even called a Musk or Elon! Yes, he is CEO but his rants are not TESLA , its owners, shareholders or even Employees thoughts or ideals.

You should put it in %, how many ICE and EV get caught on fire from the amount that are driving on the road. Also you should mention how long does it take to put out the fire. Don't go into emissions if you're not looking into how the electricity is made.
Appreciate the input but the ACTUAL figures are well in favour of EV’s NOT catching fire. UK electric is virtually zero Coal and some days over 80% Renewables.
@@KKandEV I wouldn't call burning for up to 72 hours, secondary combustion and the toxic compound leak "in favour". Good for UK EVs for fuel production, I guess, but the initial carbon footprint is still massive. I don't want to get into vehicles being ecological, almost none are. This video is about vehicle fires.
@odys3803 I have NEVER in 5 years of ownership seen or personally spoke to ANY EV owners who have had a fire or even known of one… I speak to thousands yearly. Facts are facts. If you had a million of each the percentage of ICE catching fire is huge in comparison to any brand of EV.
@@KKandEV thats means nothing, I in 15 years have NEVER experienced or talked to anyone who's ICE car catched on fire without help. There's still not that many EV around, also it's not like brand new ICE cars are catching fire. The reason they catch fire is poor maintenance and most of the fires are from short circuit not the engine "leaking" flames. You speak to thousands yearly, HA! Good one. Keep dreaming, I wish you to get there.

Hi. There, great informative video, we are looking to buy a mobile home. But worried which site to choose. We are over 55 , so we want a quiet place. Any suggestions would help us a lot thankyou.
Thanks for the input Susan. Full Residential will cost you more in the long term with Council Rates AND Ground Rents together stacking up to large amounts per year. A 12 month permit site is cheaper but the grey area of not being able to officially stay there as you r full U.K. residency might be a put off. Just make sure you have a full UK address if you go for the 12 months site.
Also.. get some idea of what the site owner is like from others already on there and go for the longest Ground contract you get find in years. A 20 is better than a 10 but again it’s all dictated on where in the Country you choose to buy and live.
Hi again, tha you for the info. We keep doing our homework. A bit difficult as we are living in Bulgaria for the last 13 years, but we will keep plodding on.
Just want to point out it was GoPro app that was the problem! I still have the footage! Lesson learnt
Good point
yeah sometimes i dont understand these people believe whatever they see on the internet
Enjoyed your video a good guide for anyone thinking of going, we have been to this Potters but the newer one is closer for us, its smaller but for adults only which we prefer. There is for and against for both sites, but for what you get food accommodation activities entertainment all drinks its not bad value we are going the the Essex one in a mths time.
Our next visit will be the Five lakes location!
@@KKandEV Hope you have a great break.
Love the channel thanks so much for all the valuable information Have I missed something? If you don't mind me asking why are you selling ?
Thanks for the input. There are many factors and most will be up in the next Vlog but it won’t be posted until we have left the site. Watch out for that one!!
@@KKandEV thanks for prompt reply I suppose its because we are looking to buy a lodge to live in in the next month or so were taking all the advice we can that's why your channel has been so interesting for us and we thank you for it
You missed the fact that it has a number of levels of regen. using the + and - function on the gear selector, plus it also has an electrically heated front windscreen
Ofcourse EVs will sell if they’re cheap enough, you could sell a crippled donkey if it was cheap enough.
The same price of ICE.
@@KKandEV right ok if you say so, watched a 21 plate taycan with average miles ,grade 2 car, go through BCA today for mid £30k’s, that’s lost at least £70k in 3 years. A 911 would have lost less than half of that in the same time.
@mikeolly67 then that’s great to have cheaper prices that will simply kill ICE cars… that’s good news!
Battery prices have dropped 90% in 8 years. It was always the plan to get ALL EV’s Equal if not cheaper than old tech oil burners to kill the market. It’s now happening that in turn brings new prices down. It’s a win win. Perfect time to get rid of the polluter !!
@@KKandEV well in theory yes, but the more savvy of motorists realise that EVs are shit for anything other than as a short distance vehicle that can be charged at home.
ADVICE with a ‘c’
Hey… sometimes I rush!!👍🏻
Mine prooved invaluable as I was parked in Nottingham on the ened o f a row. Black Range Rover Evoque parked next to me (not in a marked space) cameras activated as two females got into passenger side front and back. Then it left colliding with front bumper of my Tesla Model 3, had to reverse and visible damage down the n/s from part way along front door all back door and wheel arch. Then pulled out a bit further and drove off having activated my alarm. Reviewing sentry mode showed exactly what had happened and that they had failed to stop. Details given to police and insurance!
Enjoyed the video. Just had an “incident’ whereby I was illegally passed on the right - the driver was in the bike/pedestrian lane, and I viewed the video and was tempted to send it to the authorities😅.
They have been used in court successfully!👍🏻
@@KKandEV Right - however I read that I’d have to be available in court to testify, but I never saw the driver, just the car and plate number. Oh well. It is great though to have full camera coverage in case of a major event or intentional damage.
Please Share the post !👍🏻👍🏻
I wanted to fact check and this is what I found The ratio between electric car fires and internal combustion engine (ICE) car fires can vary depending on the data source and the context in which the fires occur. However, studies and reports from recent years can provide a general sense of the frequency of such incidents. Electric Vehicles (EVs): Various studies suggest that electric vehicles are less likely to catch fire than their gasoline counterparts. For instance, a report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) indicated that the rate of fire for EVs is lower compared to ICE vehicles. ICE Vehicles: Internal combustion engine vehicles are reported to have a higher incidence of fires. This is primarily due to the presence of flammable liquids like gasoline or diesel, which can easily ignite under certain conditions. General Findings: A study by Autoinsurance EZ, analyzing data from the National Transportation Safety Board, found that for every 100,000 vehicles, electric vehicles had a fire incident rate of about 25 incidents, while gasoline vehicles had a fire incident rate of approximately 1,530 incidents per 100,000 vehicles. Another study by Tesla, based on their own fleet data, claimed that Tesla vehicles had about 5 fires per billion miles traveled, compared to 55 fires per billion miles traveled for ICE vehicles. Example Ratios: Autoinsurance EZ Study: The ratio of ICE vehicle fires to electric vehicle fires is approximately 61:1. Tesla Fleet Data: The ratio of ICE vehicle fires to Tesla electric vehicle fires is approximately 11:1. These ratios indicate that electric vehicles are significantly less likely to catch fire compared to traditional ICE vehicles, though the exact numbers can vary by study and the specific metrics used (e.g., per miles traveled, per vehicle population).
As the same in the U.K… Hybrids are the biggest issue. Thanks for the input.
Great insight, I wouldn't rely on data provided by the seller. It's like CIA investigating itself... I would however look for how much time and resources it takes to put out EV/ICE fire and how is the wreck disposed, there were reports of EV wreck catching fire days after being extinguished. If you want to make comparison, you need to collect all relevant data.
Who wants a 5 year old Tesla?, the battery life warranty is worthless.
Lots of people who cannot afford new. They sell well on the used market. Just because your mind is closed others are open to them. Virtually zero services and 70% less parts over ICE. Tesla batteries have proved themselves 100%. For the record it’s 8 years battery warranty. I can tell you are not an EV owner.
Great useful video. Can the sentry mode be turned on and off through the Tesla app?
Yes it can… it can also be set NOT to be on everytime you return home on default. Thanks for watching👍🏻
Thanks for all the value provided
Appreciate you watching.. SUBSCRIBE!!👍🏻👍🏻😎
Hi, the E-up can have the Rear View Camera (the Mii and citigo just can't have the OEM because the rear bumper is different and the radio seems to be different too internally). The E-up and the citigo can have the Multi Function Steering Wheel and the Mii can't. I don't see any other relevant difference.
That's interesting to tow something that big, my here's my towing experience. Towing - Just did a tow with a 2022 model Y performance. It was about 3,000 lb total trailer weight. Basically I had to charge every 60 to 90 mi. Since it's something I don't do often it was bearable. But basically the regular 9 hour road trip kind of turned into almost 14 to 16 hours. So at the end of the day if you're going to tow often, get a 500 mi battery pack. If you don't too often just make sure you're precise and when traveling long distance stay between 20 to 80%. And for best EPM (electrons per mile) stay at around 55mph. Berri No-ICE.
That wet belt design is absoloute rubish, we had 6 focus estates at the company i worked for with the 1.0 litre ECOBOOM engine in, mine blew up at 88,000 on a 68 reg, the other 2 guys cars blew up at 91,000 on a 67 reg and 78,000 on a 68 reg again, avoid them like the plague.
AGREED… I believe Ford are looking at repair costs for some.
Tesla has issued a recall on certain Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built between May 2022 and September 2023 where the driver may experience a notchy feel or sensation from the steering wheel when operating the vehicle in cold temperatures.
Not any China made ones, I believe USA only, not all and they came out. You did not take it to a Service centre or “dealer”.Thanks for the input. For the record…Mine wasn’t.
Nice to see it was smooth sailing and efficiently fixed. Hoping spare parts will be available for my 2024 Model 3 to repair that front bumper the Range Rover Evoque tried snacking on!
Best of luck. Some parts can take a while but I’ve heard we do better here than the USA does.
Great service from Tesla. You've got a lovely new wheel now! I think that wearing rings can have a negative effect on steering wheel wear as well. I think for me, your wheel looks better without the carbon fibre effect .
Appreciate your input!. Rings defo have an adverse effect!
Well said KK, having started with Solar PV on my West facing roof in 2011, I later added another 4kWh on the East face roof and a Tesla Powerwall. Now have been driving an EV for over 3 years as well as fitting an ASHP. We have always cared about food waste and recycling. We are keen to recycle as much as possible. We also use Octopus Energy to support them with using more renewables. Also invested in Ripple Energy to support that effort for wind energy. I do think a lot about things we do but feel I can justify a return flight to the USA once a year and now spend more time, rather than possible two trips in the year. I must tell you my new 2 month old Tesla Model 3 RWD was attacked by a Range Rover Evoque that had been parked next to me. It pulled out from my o/s and from 2/3 the way down the drivers door to it's n/s wheel arch scraped along my o/s bumper pulling it away leaving many scrapes and even a hole. it had to reverse before it could drive away. As my car was unattended, the vehicle just drove out of the car park and out of view. Sentry mode saved the day and recorded the whole thing as it had set off my alarm at the time of impact. On a funny note I have been given a LR Tesla Model 3 as a loan and it's number plate ends in KKE, so I thought of you!
Nice one!! We cannot wait to get Solar and Heat pump. I agree, a flight to the USA is fine when you are green doing other things for a better carbon footprint. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hope you get the damage sorted and the Rank Rover owner pays in full !!
@@KKandEV Thanks and yes my insurance company have been great in that respect, especially as we have video of the whole thing!Also Range Rover just drove off so reported to the police as well!

Chinese propaganda to keep EVs selling.
SIMPLE Facts from Stats!
@@KKandEVfalse facts propagated by poorly edited videos.
Obviously the truth hurts.
@@KKandEV You're terrible videos aren't getting any views. And your bulshit lies are not getting any traction. That must hurt
The rear suicide doors is actually fine. Having to take your seat belt off to let someone out is the bigger irritation. Typically not an issue for me except when dropping kids off at school in the rain, but this being South Africa, rain is usually not the big thing it used to be. Thanks climate change (in joking).
I got used to the doors after a while. Very different for a small car.
@@KKandEV We actually prefer the i3 over the Mini Cooper SE, because the Mini is a real 2-door, you have to tilt the seats to get in and out. Of course the coach doors don't work that well in parking lots either, but once you managed the technique of first exiting into what we call the "bermuda triangle" before closing the rear door and completing the manoeuvre, it works alright. Mostly the reason we own an i3, is because that was the one we could afford. In South Africa, the prices are still quite high and the choice limited. The BYD Dolphin is the first car (arrived earlier this year) that really qualifies as affordable, undercutting the previous winner (the Ora Cat) by a good 100k ZAR (around 4k GBP). Of course our government has little in the way of subsidies. They aren't even cutting the taxes a little.
It’s good to know SA is going Electric but with all the outages you have I hope it all works out with future Grid investment and Sunshibe renewable energy.
@@KKandEV To say that SA is going electric is perhaps overoptimistic. The average South African is VERY sceptical of this. It's just me (and a few other people, usually those with solar power systems) who are crazy enough. The issue with outages is probably not as bad as some imagine. Outages may be as much as 8 hours a day, but you can still charge a car nicely in the remaining 16, of which statistically half is after hours. The average saffer drives 70km/day, which means recharging the car is about on par with the energy used for hot water in many families. If you swap the old electric water heater with a heat pump, you practically have two thirds of the car covered already. Still, it remains a lot of money for most people, and the uncertainty is a bit of a deal breaker. There is a company locally (still very new!), charge.co.za, who is building a charge network entirely powered by renewables. Will have to see how that goes, but the way they are going seems very similar to what I have seen for FastNed in The Netherlands
I just found your channel as I'm currently looking at this option. Great content and thanks for you videos.

We love our 2019 Addington. It’s a shame they went, but they’re not the first and won’t be the last. The park operators are a bigger problem in the industry than the manufacturers! Hidden costs, no maintenance on the site. Bully tactics to residents!
I guess that’s true with the majority but our Site owner is very fair and does listen. Local Councils are the biggest hypocrites. As regards Tingdene going I think they deserved it as they simply never changed! Thanks for the input!
In love with the BYD seal
I could not find fault with the finish!!
I am sick to the back teeth of hearing the word TAX. The minute they mention taxing caravans mine will be sold. We must be the highest taxed nation in the world if you take EVERY tax that's in existence. These governments are a disgrace. High paid men and women who could afford any tax they invent.
Should all vehicles be paying a road infrastructure fee (tax)? The challenge is how much? Various scenarios: Per mile travelled? - Unfair for the smaller efficient, environmentally friendly vehicle. Bug favours the low mileage pensioner. Per unit quantity of energy used? As a percentage of the fuel or electricity used. This encourages efficient usage. Drive like a madman and pay more! A tax on the tyres (tires)? The more rubber you smoke, the more you pay. Difficult to manage this as I'm sure there'll be people who avoid replacing the tyres! The politicians should lead by example. Walk! As in walk the walk and not talk the talk!
weve got a 2013 dacia sandero 1.5 diesel and it is VED exempt, you are deluded if you think the manufactuer of EVs is better for the planet with their lithium batteries that cannot be properly recycled beyond 20% of their total content, they ra ejust going to end up in landfill because no-one will pay to fit new battery packs to them at 40k and upwards for a new battery pack, its far far cheaper top p[ut a new combustiopn engine in yopur old ICE car than fit a new batter5y to an EV hence why thewre is little interest in the used EV market. oh and some EVs do leak oil from the driveshaf couplings on the side of the gearboxes as they have gear oil.
Oooo jimmy you’ve flipped! Show me all the 5 year old new batteries in EV’s. I’ve had EV’s for 5 years… not one leak! Show me all the land fill full of Battery packs. I do not want to be behind your toxic Sandero exhaust EVER! Show me the smell from the rear of my EV. Hey , thanks for the…. facts?
