when iPhone freezes - I can handle it, when $100k car's dash freezes in the middle of a highway, wow, that's very special experience for the money paid.
I have viewed a significant number of Tesla videos. Never witnessed the software anomalies you experienced. Good to know you could improvise with the app. Glad Tesla resolved all your issues! Take Care
You maintained being calm after all those problems on your first long road trip..good for you!! I would have been using bad words after the 2nd trouble on this expensive car. I will never own a total electric car because the issues you just described. Hybrid keeps you going down the road with out getting stuck!!
So many bitter/jealous people on the internet.
the dislikes are most likely given at the moment the video started cause the visual didnt match what they expected.
--
Anyway thanks for the video, I'm thinking of getting a Model 3 so i needed to watch videos like this. very informative about real world situations.
The amount of charging stations in my country arent enough.
it also seems like the constant search for charging stations will have the most influence on how i plan my routes.
I think i gotta wait for more charging stations. I'll continue to use the train and bicycle. I'm done with mechanical cars.
I'll just wait until electric cars have a stronger infrastructure.
Thank you for the video!
Look at it this way...If a guy comes up to you with the gas can hustle...you can say "We don't do petrol - DUDE!"
This gives me a whole new appreciation for my gas powered car. I will not take it for granted.
Since I'm interested in EV's(I own a Chevy Bolt), I happen to stumble upon your road trip video. I loved it. I laughed for 23 minutes. Especially when pronounced Syosset. You should be in show business. Thanks for making my day.
David Diaz thank you so much...in light of some of the other comments i receive on this video...this comment made my day :-)
remember you bought the car USED. thats why the other owner wanted to get rid of it. its problems
Yes, I know that buying used comes with risks...that is why I only buy through dealerships and if the vehicles come with full warranties. Luckily for me it's a risk I can afford to take.
The Ice Cream and Coffee dance was pretty hot :)
Great video, thanks for all the info. Love your personality, fun to watch!
You can reset the consul and stuff while you’re driving you will still be able to break and accelerate the screens will just restart
Man... I just read through some of your comments. Sheesh! I admire your resolve and kind attitude, and THAT my dear, is why you have a Tesla and most of these trolls on the bus! Keep up the good work! Don't let folks discourage you!
Thank you so much...this means a lot because yes, some of these people are going in...whew! And the comments you see are the "good" ones.
Yeah, well the more popular you get, the worse it'll be unfortunately. My last channel I got to about 8K subscribers in about 6 months... I just stopped reading the comments. It was too stressful for me. My wife read them though, lol. She nosey!
LoL...what's your channel's name(s)?
Just click my name! LOL, I'm starting over but I have a few up.
No we just have cars that don't waste hours of our lives in run down industrial areas.
I've done many road trips across US in my gasoline car and the stops that I make on Gas stations have much more to offer.
Looks like we are not there yet and it's gonna take a few more years before Tesla will reach that point.
Wow. I'm from Australia and am pleased to see your video. A six hour trip lasting 9 hours, Hmmm, so pleased to see this video as it reminds me of why my Toyota Prado has twin 90 litre diesel tanks.
I guess I could tow a trailer behind my Tesla X with a drum of fuel and a big generator. I could then charge up anywhere I parked!
You can send a bug report to Tesla when these issues comes up. Usually they fix these issues very fast. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for Watching!
I enjoyed your video. You had problems, worked around them, and told us that Tesla repaired them without a fuss. The display that went bad wasn't made by Tesla, they bought it and put it in the car when they assembled the car. Unfortunately the bad display made the Tesla car look bad too. I leased an EV for 3 years and this video reminded me of how much I had to pay attention to charging. But, as the range keeps increasing on the EV's, charging will take less and less of your attention as you go on long drives. I expect to be driving EV again when the backlog of Model 3 is over. For now I will enjoy the Model S videos.
You didn't restart the vehicle correctly. You have to hold down the scroll wheels until the Tesla symbol on the main screen shows up (roughly 20 seconds) what you did was put the car to sleep and turn it back on and not a full restart of all systems.
If they replaced the instrument cluster, how TF did she not restart it correctly? If she put the car to sleep, why did the screens come back up with the errors gone? They would have stayed "ASLEEP" if what you said made any sense.
don you restart it with ctrl alt delete ? :)
You look like a celebrity and you have great personality. Nice video as well!
Ivan Nunez thank you ...you are so kind 😊
This was fun and painful to watch. I've had (and loved) my Tesla Model S 90D for almost 2 years -- bought new. I find that it is best to call Tesla whenever I have issues -- even when traveling-- and not try to figure it all out alone. Long road trips can be taxing so it is good to do it with friends in the beginning. You'll learn to research the Superchargers before leaving. Use PlugShare! Also, I encourage you to spend some time on the Tesla forums because many of the things you experienced have been addressed and debated.
Your hair looks great! Enjoy your Tesla experience going forward
The problem is you do not understand how retarded your comment sounds like.One day you will when this technology will be on par with ICE cars now you all look like dumb clowns.These cars are only for city driving and no more than 50 miles max 80 that is it.Using Superchargers going to kill the battery in just few years and if you are out of warranty good luck buying a new one.But Elon the con is lying to you.Supercharger will destroy your car really fast.It is called Supercharger gate.
+SCORINGAUDIO R Wow just WOW... good info, tfs!!
You two are fun to watch, makes me wish I was on the trip with you!
Clever idea to use the phone app to see your speed and charge level when the instrument screen froze.
Tip 1: You do know you don't have to use the button on the screen to open charger bay. Just approach the charger bay with the charging nozzle in your hand press the button on top of the charging nozzle and it opens the charger door. Also, in my opinion, it looks like a flash memory problem with UI. Oh, I'm looking at the preview picture, you have the first generation. Those had some issues.
Thanks...I knew that but kinda forgot about that and uh, being self-taught and all (LoL)...yeah.
Very good video. Gives an honest REAL experience.
This was a great video to watch. Glad you got things resolved and held your composure during your trip even with the issues.
Hi, Perhaps I run into you on one of the charging stations. Agree stations in Syosset sucks :) LOL I drive Green Tesla 2013 S60. I have 0 problems with the car. FYI I never had to reset the system knock on wood ... but you can do it while driving it will not affect the driving. Hope your issues will be resolved. Cheers.
Marcin Gornik awww thanks so much! Since Tesla fixed the issue i haven't had any more...so until we see into one another at a charging station...have fun!
Great vid, forget about the Internet trolls. Please make more vids, it's very informative.
Thanks for clear honest video.
and thank you for watching :-)
Not confusing at all,Tesla are on the ball to fix probs so quick,good on them,thanks lovely ladies
in 50 years we will explain to our grandkids why we call the acceleration pedal "gas" and they will probably we amazed. Thats of course if there will be any pedals left in a car by that time.
New subbie here!!! Enjoyed the vid. I can't wait to get my Tesla.
Mzmonica4real me too
Yeah...no. The idle fees were announced 3 months ago. The details were released. Whatever you have your charge limit set at. The charge station will quit when it hit your requested limit. At that point, after 5 min you are in idle. So you wanna use your phone app to check on your charge status or use the charging time estimated listed on your screen and time your return.
Yeah...no. I haven't received another idle fee notification since. And remember, they are NOT implementing this. And it was announced 3 months ago...where? As an owner I should not have to search the internet and watch the news to see what Tesla is doing. Outside of youtube, I am not on the internet like that and I rarely watch tv...I have UA-cam videos to make, no time for that...LoL.
A gas station can refill a car in 5 minutes and a Tesla needs 30 minutes ( 80% charge) . This works out approximately at least 8 supercharging stations to replace one gas station.
Lakshman Dalpadado a car needs to be filled at a gas station every time...my tesla only needs it during road trips, which are optional...yet me and all my friends choose to do them in the Tesla...hmmm i wonder why? #EVsAreMoreFun
Yes, the entire center console was replaced. Carbon Fiber trim is no longer available, only in Piano Black now.
Ha! Look at that...ANSWERS...LoL #LoveIt
Is the piano black only for console replacements? The website still shows an option for carbon fiber on the console when customizing the car on Tesla's site.
You ladies are funny! I love it. I'm watching this and drinking mimosas.
Give me a thumbs up if you now want a mimosa :D
After watching this video, I would be highly reluctant to buy one. I am a fan of the technology and concept, but the company must deliver a reliable product. Time and money: cannot tolerate wasting either of them, especially TIME!
Totally understand...I think for most who own this car there's not really an issue with time...it actually saves time (you never have to stop for gas again in your day to day life)...now what you see in my Tesla videos are the every so often road trips that I go on on purpose simply because I find it fun to drive the Tesla long distances.
For the future if your screen freezes, you don't need to stop to reboot the screens. You can reboot when you are driving with no issues. That was a more common problem in the old days, but it has been a few years since I had to reboot mine. Twice in one trip seems unusual, so it was good that Tesla replaced yours.
As for SuperCharging, you should be aware of the A/B pairing of the chargers. You could have unplugged one of the ServiceCenter cars that was paired with your charger and then plugged it in again when you left.
Thanks...I certainly didn't know you could reboot while driving. At the one supercharger that took forever...it was full...not a single empty charger.
Your Tesla App will tell you when your car is done charging, which is really nice. And it shouldn't charge you if there is another bay open. Thanks for your video.
Thank you for watching :-)
Hi there. It looks like you had some pretty bad luck on that trip!
Just a tip for you. If you need to reset the dash again, you can do that whilst driving (still by holding down the scrollwheels). I can confirm that in my 2017 MS 90D, it is 100% safe. Why not test it out in a quiet street at low speed before you need it again so you have the confidence that you can do it on the freeway at any time you need in the future.
It's also a good idea to do it once a month to keep things working nicely as well as after any software update.
Ah...yeah...didn't want to try it while driving...and I know I didn't have to go to a Tesla Charging station to do it...these early days of owning a Tesla, I just like getting familiar with where the charging stations are and getting to know the lay of the land :-) Thanks for the tip.
The Fun and Budget Act Yep, it's a learning curve. They are just a big computer on wheels so plenty to learn. Way more so than a Lexus or other ICE car. Have a look at www.teslamotorsclub.com
There is plenty of info on there and some really useful guides what will answer a load of questions that you don't know even exist yet!
My personal tip: try to keep the battery between 20 and 80 percent charged. That will keep it in the best condition. The worst would be to charge it to 100% and leave it sitting somewhere hot. That's the same for any lithium battery, not just a Tesla.
How to fix the charged Tesla in a charging stall(idle charge fee):
Eject the charging cable (James bond style)
Summon the car to an empty slot across from the charging stall.
Tesla can do this.
As pretty as the piano black is, I cannot stand it. Every little speck of dust shows up on it. (My dash has it)
I agree...I originally thought I wanted Piano Black but then got Carbon Fiber and wouldn't have it any other way. But you don't see the idle charge fee anymore, right? I haven't seen it since.
It's 4:30am i haven't followed any of your videos for a while. I am an automotive enthusiast so I generally search for automotive content. I keep seeing Tesla video's pop up in my feed and a though about you. My favorite UA-camr who owns a Tesla. The last video I viewed was your trip to Spain. Congratulations on your new channel I was inspired to want to attempt my own automotive channel I haven't come up with a name for the channel but you are part of my template.
Keep up the awesome work
Live well.
Awww thank you and definitely let me know when you start your channel :-)
@@FunandBudget
Will do thanks.
Shows why Telsa along with other EV makers must make a deal to put at least one "Supercharger" at every possible 7-11 type store and whatever independent gas dealers they can immediately. The SuperCharger network is not adequate and keeps the Telsa from being ready for prime time.
Love the hair...I felt so sad for yall...I'm glad you saw the positive in the situation with your subscriber..
Yes...overall we had a good time on that trip (that video will come out soon) but one of my subscribers did tell me to take as many road trips as possible to work out these kinks...so glad I did. My car never behaved like that while driving her out and about locally or even to Virginia Beach and Delaware.
I love your car! I'm looking forward to your getaway footage...(And you can eat and chew gum If you want to!!!! LOL)
hahahaha...One thing I love about me and my friends is we don't primp and preen for the camera...it truly it what it is...LoL.
Try to reset the screens hold the volume up and the scroll up wheel thing on your wheel at the same time and hold for like 10-15 seconds. Screens will shut off for about 30 seconds then crank back up.
Teslas are amongst the safest cars on the road. However, if you don’t wear your seatbelt (the most basic safety device in any car), you’re still going to end up seriously injured or dead should you be in a bad car crash.
Great video, thanks for sharing your experience, with new products there are growing pains but the price point of Tesla's make issues hard to digest!
Thank you for watching! I purchased mine pre-own and it had been in a fender-bender previously (gasp)...I did this knowing the risk I was taking plus Tesla backed it with a full warranty and have given me impeccable service. I haven't had any issues since and I truly love this car :-)
Great Video! I own a Model S and love it. As far as the comments go on charging vs gas, I'll take charging over gas any day. I'm done with the fluctuation of gas prices, its gotten completely out of hand. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what anyone says, its what you like and are happy with that counts.
The phone app will let you know, when your car has finished charging. That idle fee has been in effect for several months, now. Also, the mobile Tesla service units should be able to take care of that, at your home or work.
Hi...that was the one and only time I received a notification about the idle fee. I did check with the service station and they said not to worry about it...it is currently not being implemented although it is still the idea :-)
So glad you had your BF with you :) You two are great. and I loved the hair.
Thanks! And even with the issues, I asked her if she'd take another road trip in the Tesla...and her answer: Most Definitely!
I just found your video and I watched it twice just to get a handle on all of the issues that you were having while on your road trip I noticed that you are the second owner of your Tesla I wasn't paying close attention to which model year it is but as I remember when when The Cars first hit the market all of the early adopters or owners basically we're beta testers of the car so a lot of the issues that you were having were used as a way for the company to iron out issues that would come up. In real-world testing the gauges in the instrument cluster showing how much of a charge you may have had along with the spedometer could have been quite unnerving on a long road trip but it sold you on the long your trip. And it went well I enjoyed the video I don't recall seeing how many miles you have on the car or how long you've had it hope to see you do an update when the car reaches 50000 miles to give everyone an idea how well the car is holding up at that point I have not watched your other videos but this one was quite interesting hoping to see you update soon but until then Happy Motoring. And keep the videos coming thanks.
Thank you :-) I think the car had under 40k miles on it...I believe I am right at 50k right now. Haven't ran into any issues since they fixed that one.
Although I love Tesla cars, I couldn't image having to drive one or any other electric car long distance. Having to stop and wait at a charging station vs a ICE car, where I would be gone in three minutes.
I never, ever stopped for gas and was gone in 3 minutes. And like everything else, EVs are a preference...just like thong underwear...I'd never say the kind of underwear I wear are for everyone (uh, and no I couldn't find a better example...LoL).
Electric cars have a long way to catch up to sport luxuary internal combustion engine vehicles... In the same time you took on your road trip at top speed I would travel 1440 miles. Traveling on the autobhan at 155mph my car would take 3 hours 50 minutes to cover the 622miles; not 9 hours. @0.33 tonnes CO2. my car gets to 60 in 3.2 seconds top speed 195 mph and I would need only need to refuel once for 622miles... weight 0.9 tonnes ; Tesla Model S 90D: 90kWh battery, dual-motor, all-wheel drive (288-mile range, 4.2 seconds 0-60mph, 155mph top speed, weighs 2.5 tonnes. Tesla cars need power stations for charging and so 622 miles is 0.28 tonnes CO2 ) Which one would you choose?
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Next time check out the Menlo Park Mall. My family and I live near the Edison charger - I think you would really like the shopping, and food, at the mall. Your videos are great!
Thank you...that is so good to know!
Now I see there are videos in the news with the Tesla Cars Rear Bumber FALLS OFF within an hour of owning the car? But what do you Tesla Rubes expect for 150,000$ car??? I am sure a software fix will make the bumper magically appear again.
Googled rear bumper falls off and got results for a Honda, Prius, Acura and Model 3 #Shrugs
Really makes me glad I bought a Volt instead. 90% of the time I don't burn any gas and it's much easier to find a gas station on a road trip. Looks like you weren't in a hurry to get anywhere. Those problems would be really stressful if you had a schedule to keep.
That's exactly why I wont get an electric car right now. maybe in about 10 years or so if I'm still on this earth living. I do admire you for not doing the typical thing in buying a gas powered vehicle.
sweetdaddy coolaid im adventurous...gonna get their solar roof too :-)
One thing about having to take a break ever 200 miles on a road trip is that I NEVER will ever have to take the time to get gas at a gas station when I use the car around home. I simply plug it in at home a couple of times a week. It is like having a gas station at home, and less hassle than my cellphone charging which needs it every day.
Your friend looked like me when I took a long road trip with my buddy that had a tesla and had to stop to charge in desolate spots. 😶
I've been looking at Tesla since the roadster. I finally just ordered an S 75 and waiting for my late September delivery. I'm happy I waited though, since I won't have to go through all of these beta issues you were having. You seem like you are pretty close to my area. Is there any Tesla groups around the area?
Hi Lebron...I have no idea if there are any Tesla groups around the DC area...probably so, but I haven't looked. But yeah, I hear the newer cars have a lot of the kinks worked out...not perfect but certainly better than any other car on the market (in my opinion, of course).
The Fun and Budget Act yes, but most of the issues i saw on your videos should be able to get corrected from the over the air updates
Oh and hi right back at cha!
They fixed the issue...the instrument cluster was replaced.
I figured there was going to be problems with Teslas. My beef is with the time it takes to charge. Its not uncommon for me to go long distances on a trip and only stop for bathroom, coffee, and gas. I can keep snacks in the car.
Hoping one day to afford a Tesla. Right now I just purchased a new Civic SI and when I got that paid off I will be looking at Teslas in my price range.
Most definitely...thats what I did.
I just bought a Tesla... drive a TON!!! The young guys at the dealership told me I would be fine LOL! Here is hoping Tesla has fixed some of these issues... I have been super lucky with all my cars and have never had issues. Thanks for the video.
Yes these issues were fixed. My tesla has been driving awesomely ever since :-)
Thanks so much for uploading this video! I'm in the market to buy a used
Tesla Model S (one with unlimited supercharging) and I definitely am
glad you uploaded this because I had no idea these issues existed so
it's good to know going in what to look out for when buying one of these
cars. Have you had any of these issues after you brought it in to the
Tesla dealership?
Road to the 2 Comma Club no...but i hadn't had these issues before either. What i love is if you buy a car with less than 50k miles, tesla includes a full warranty. They have been super responsive to me...and they have given me new brakes and rotors, instrument cluster and center console. I feel they stand behind their work and most importantly they listen. Remember to use a referral code for the $1000 discount.
Yeah I'm definitely going to use a referral code, and that's good to know about the warranty too! Thanks so much for replying! :-)
The Fun and Budget Act wow tesla warranty even covers brakes? Didn't realize used teslas came with a full warranty.
Taking selfie video while driving... Very good your shadow says it all 😂
this is the very reason why i refuse to get a electric or hybrid car. The technology has been rushed to production without adequate research and testing. Furthermore, it is a front wheel drive car!!! it makes no sense to me to pay that much for a front wheel drive car when you get a all wheel drive vehicle that has better range. my opinion.
Teslas are kind of like cell phones they have to be reset sometimes.. I THINK you just hold the two buttons on the steering wheel down for a few seconds and it resets the software... (ask tesla to confirm)
Yup...someone left a comment saying I did it wrong...so I called Tesla to confirm and learned: 1. Holding it down until the screen goes black is a soft reset. 2. Holding it down until the screen goes black AND the tesla emblem appears is a hard reset. 3. You can indeed do this while driving (though they don't recommend it for safety purposes). :-)
its the whole screen thats freezing, not just a bunch of little items
In this case the entire instrument cluster froze, but on the main screen...the navigation failed to work.
I am not lucky enough to have a Tesla (and they don't take food stamps yet) but I would stop to eat before I go to a supercharger station and also take a jar of peanut butter along just in case there are no restaurants open there.
The Fun and Budget Act, I'm not sure if you have heard of the proper way to use the Supercharger Network. When there are multiple cars at the Supercharger, you need to pick a number that no one is using. All Superchargers have a Number and A/B. So if someone is on 1A then you can choose any other number other than 1. If you choose 1B you will be sharing the charge with 1A and both cars will charge at a lower speed. You can't really avoid this if there are a few cars already charging.
Brandon Hines thanks...yes, i know that...the one charging station was full completely
Just found your channel and I've been enjoying binge watching your vids! Thanks so much for sharing your Tesla road trip experience. I have been looking into a Model X but, based on your video, I think I'll rent a regular gas car for my once a year road trip.
Yeah...depending on lifestyle and personality, Tesla's won't be for everyone (just like city living vs country living aren't for everyone)...but keep in mind, my car is older (2013) and this trip was the only time I had these issues (I've taken more trips since)...I have yet to run into a Tesla owner who regrets buying the car...and as a Tesla community we find that we actually take more road trips with these cars. :-) And thank you so much for watching my videos [insert hearts here].
Awww thanks for responding. I can't say that it's out of the running. I still think it's in the running even though my husband thinks it's ugly. Lol. I think I will look into the pre-owned Tesla world as well. I love technology of them.
Lanika T i'm going to do a Paid Off Tesla video where I think i'll finally reveal how much i paid for my car...i try to keep it as real as possible in this channel...the good, the bad, and the hot damn mess of it all 😊
I would love to see that. I've just started budgeting myself and I love your "real talk" money videos.
Makes since about over idling to keep people from going away too long. You know how people chill at gas station pumps and go inside....then others in your case cant charge. Its more important than running in the station after pumping with regular gas.
Why not shut it off and wait 2 minutes and restart the car to reboot it?
Thanks for showing a real world trip and issues. Very eye openning. Y'all were great but the preformance of the >80K Telsa was a fail
Question: Does the glass roof ever allow it to get too hot in there? You guys look comfortable and you never complain about the heat. How do you like it ?
Nope the glass roof does not make the car hot. The car consistently regulates and maintains the temperature throughout the cabin...I absolutely love this car...I am not a car person but this is the best car I've ever had. All my guy friends seem pretty impressed with it too.
There isn't no issue for #2 because, Its set to close of Fully Charge.
You've got enough energy to charge that car! I would be happy with those car issues - heck I'd be happy to just have a Tesla Model S. I hope all is well now.
PorchyBoy thanx...all is well. Tesla replaced the instrument panel.
you are AWSOME!!! I could wacth you guys everyday!
Awwww...thanks!
Loved watching this. You are super cute. The Syosset charger is horrendous. Everyone complains about how slow these chargers are. Tesla has several other superchargers going online along the Long Island Expressway by the end of the year. Let's hope it actually happens!
Darren G thank you for confirming I wasn't crazy...i knew that place sucked...lol
Buy a Tesla. For the nominal price of only $90000, you will be granted ALL of the following by the auspicious company:
1. A new car.
2. A 24 hour waiting around time (marketed by TSL as "shopping" time or "eating" time) for a 400 mile trip.
3. Countless hours of fun rebooting and troubleshooting.
4. Many, many mad dashes for the nearest charging station.
5. A constant fear of traffic jams, detours, and hilly roads.
6. Frequent opportunities to visit the dealership for repairs. This is one of the best perks of ownership by the way.
7. A car that runs like it has 200000 miles at around 30000 miles.
8. The feeling of regret whenever an ICE vehicle passes by.
Happy travels from your friends at TSL. Here, kind madam/sir: "Have a bon bon. We are only here to serve you."
But you know that's not how any of this works, right? LoL
I love my Tesla full self driving vs better then a regular car which expensive gas prices
Your navi volume will adjust when it's talking and you change the volume. I sometimes wonder what happened to my navi volume when I thought I was changing my music volume.
Hmmm...that could have been it, perhaps. But I really think it had something to do with the instrument panel...my car hasn't had those issues since and I've been on a few more road trips since this as well :-)
Not a hater against electronic cars; until they are a little more stable, I will stick to gas. Gas cars have been in production for 100+ years. Electronic cars what 5 ish or maybe a little more years? They got a long way to go to work out the kinks.
Probably because they don't want cars blocking the chargers
I would like to know the costs of all of these Tesla headaches. The purchase price: Down payment n monthly payment... Cost of insurance, etc. I've been contemplating getting a vehicle, and didn't want to be stuck in the stone age, with a regular "gas" car.
Hahaha...I have an entire video on it - its in the Tesla playlist. I still have the same Tesla and I absolutely love it. My car insurance is $87 a month for full coverage. And I paid about $54K for it (that includes title & registration stuff), I took out about a $20K loan and paid that off in 4 months. Supercharging is free forever (because this car came with it back when they had free supercharging for life). The car was covered under warranty so didn't pay anything for repairs.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. We are out here watching.
Issue 2. Are you sharing a charger with another car? ie 2a & 2b? Its faster if you try to leave a gap between cars at S/charging bays.
The charging station was full.
The fact that you might need to leave a gap between cars at a SuperCharger is garbage. Telsa get your act together, this is NOT ready for prime time. Great to have a real world video
Enjoyed the bubbly vid. We have to take the good with bad in life and keep it moving. Who cares what other people think!..Opinions..everyone has them but who cares! Subscribed! Also, just curious what made you go with silver? Is it easier to keep clean?
Thanks! And welcome to the team...I went with silver because it's my car color...LoL. All the cars I ever had were silver except for 1. Platinum is classy to me. My other choice would have been red but I'm not crazy about Tesla's shade of red.
The Fun and Budget Act Makes sense. I'm a sucker for clean black cars though since I've had 3. Plan to get Tesla one day...in life. Lol. Already trying to decide on color. Black, pearl white or silver
And see...that's just it...for a few years I had planned to get a Tesla one day too....everyone I know used to go to the tesla showroom with me and just sit in the car and dream with me. Had no idea when I'd get one...just knew I wanted one. And then boom...in December someone hit me and totaled my car...my friend Gwen reminded me..."well, didn't you say you were getting a Tesla anyway?" The rest is history :-)
The Fun and Budget Act Yes that's exactly what I do. Go to the galleries here and there. Well glad you were safe and it worked out for getting your Tesla. I know you love it. I can't wait.
Idle fees are not an issue. You get charged for leaving you car on the charger after it's full. Your welcome.
Yup...I said the very same thing in this video.
Spending almost 20 thousand dollars for a down payments to drive a Tesla electric car.But all Tesla cars any models have too many lockup and freeze in all their gauges.Needed to many new softwares update.In a way the Tesla company are using us for a testing ground for their electric cars products.
$20k? Nah...I put down more than that...my car's paid for.
I love your assent. "asselerating when touching on the gas" just make sure you don't put gas in it!

Hahaha...ok...I know you are making fun of me but this was funny..LoL
Resetting the dashboard is like a common thing? And they want to introduce auto pilot? Yikes.
I don't think resetting is a common thing (like you something about that doesn't sound right to me)...but according to some of the people on this thread...it is.
I wish i was out there, U 2 are Beautiful. Good Luck With The Tesla & Your Future Travels
Enjoyed your video! Been thinking about a used Tesla , but what i have read on line new ones still have quirks .
Joseph Mora here's the main thing...I always buy used these days since cars are depreciating assets...but if you buy a Tesla through Tesla with under 50k miles...you get a full warranty. What I love: Tesla is a company that stands behind their product...they fixed my car pronto and even offered to have a service tech pick it up for me. They deliver on their word no fine print to beware of and no tricky exceptions to the policy...could not have purchased preowned from a better company.
All I can say is, "bad things happen when you leave the city"
Thanks for the real life video. Looks like you live in the DC area. Might see you on the road sometime.
Yup! :-)
Delaware my state love your positive energy, I'm on my way to financial freedom
Sorry that you had a bad supercharger and/or system issue. Have you gotten it checked out yet??
Yes...and it is all fixed...good as new! My service station got me in real quick (actually I gave them the day I was available being my life be on the busiest) and a day and a half later my car was ready :-)
It was cause there was so many people charging at the same time. You need to look at the miles per hr that your charge rate is
Your car has finally got a internet connection to tesla... the update has added all those idle fees
Nope...not at this time. I just had my first idle fee in 4 years the other day. It came to a whopping $5.
What year is your Tesla? And do you enjoy those seats? I'm looking at getting a 2014 Model S and wondering how those seats feel. I wonder if they replace something, like the instrument cluster on an older model S that ran the older instrument cluster, do they "repair" the cluster with a new one?
Jonathan Jung mine is a 2013...the seats are gray leather and i like them...more comfortable than the seats in my lexus or any other car I've had.
It's all the cars . It lowers the charging rate it's only like 120 m with no cars so it's 60 m with all cars . So you have too wate longer . So you can charge to get too the other charge are with out cars
Very informative!!! Thank you!
To be honest, I've heard there were quite a few issues with earlier model S cars. Think all are ironed out from later ones. I do like that tesla change stuff
Yup...I heard the same thing...and even with my early model car...it is not bad at all. Since they've fixed these issues I have not had anymore :-)
