They pollute more via the power plant that the electricity comes from to recharge them.
Tesla did not kill any future, 'cose EV have no future.
@shaggy5777 There is a definite pollution output initially as is with any vehicle out there, but over the life of the car, the electric vehicle will definitely save on pollution production.

@@tmorcos21 Plz discuss the numbers. Definitely.
When I feel down I just think about Scotty and how so many things scare the crap out of him and I feel better 🤣
@lordcorgi6481 • I don't think Scotty's ever test drove like a Hellcat. I'd love to hear him as he floors it! 😁
ikr? 😆
I stopped watching scotty after a few videos many years ago. He never makes sense and does not seem mechanically minded. I gave in this one after 3 minutes of ranting.
No Faith, huh?
Old man... Changes are difficult for an older person. Period!
The guy who brought Scotty a Tesla must be trying to give Scotty a stroke.
I wonder how come scotty did not drive it, hmm, he might have come back with no tread on the tires.....
He sure is moving, isn't he?
You anti ev guys are snowflakes? Damnn
@@Sal3600is humor, we love Scotty so we join him in most of his rants.
@ronvalley1973 He did drive it, that's why the donkey laugh came out twice
Scotty, I own a Tesla model 3 Long Range, and my factory tires lasted roughly 31,000 miles (3/32” tread left). The car you reviewed here was driven in a very “spirited” manner. That’s what wore the tires out like that.
Plus those front tires are semi-slick racing tires.
Trash
Plus those are not the wheels that came on the car.
Come on dude, did you not notice that they are Cup 2's? Like only come stock on GT2 RS, etc.
i noticed that too. Interesting tire choice. @@jasonpatterson2143
I can't express properly the extent that I appreciate Scotty personality how genuine he is since the beginning of his channel.
Scotty moves more just "standing there" and talking than most people do when they're walking. My kids tease me about talking with my hands, but I can see I'm just an amateur.
Maybe he's Italian 🤌

The problem with running it fast a lot is you lose range big time.

Wow, I did not expect to hear Scotty say so many nice things about the Tesla Model 3! Here's a few things he said: Backup camera and torque: PHENOMENAL. Nice minimalistic design. Quiet inside. Touchscreen doesn't obscure view. Nice seats. 16 speaker sound system is KILLER! Man, this thing is FAST. It is like a Rocket Ship!
He was INCREDIBLY negative actually. He doesnt understand anything about the drivetrain or the software or the regular ownership experience. Theyre 10x better than he thinks.
I have one and drive it 5 hours a day for work.
@@hunternewberry5860 Well he is entitled to his opinion. I too disagree with him however I would buy it and I think it sucks for completely different reasons.
The wife and I have two gas cars and a Tesla. We figured we'd keep the gas cars for road trips, yet we always end up taking the Tesla anyway!
great for the environment buying a whole brand new EV to use as a toy! you Muskrats are hilarious in your logic.
Taking our Y on road trips is like flying first class and everytime we need to charge the kids are ready to get out and stretch anyways
Same! F-150 now barely moves. We’ve put 10,000 miles on the Tesla in 11 months
Same here. I own 4 ICE cars/truck. Bought a Model 3 a year & half ago meant for commute. Now we ended up taking it everywhere even on long road trips. All 4 ICE are benched now. I'm giving 2 of them to my kids.
@@joeygarcia4277 Do they need a stretch for an hour out-of-the-way from your destination?

He will very excitedly go to homedepot.

Dual motor Tesla tires last longer than rear wheel drive Teslas.
This is because on RWD Teslas (and all other RWD EVs), acceleration and braking are mostly performed with the driven wheels. You'll wear out those rear tires quickly, especially if you drive crazy.
The last set of tires on our AWD Model S lasted 60,000 with at least 10K still left on them. Changed them due to the approach of winter. We didn't even bother rotating the tires after the first round. Even wear all around. AWD Tesla's are awesome on slippery terrain.
Love that back in the day you hated the EVs and now actually accept them.
The 2024 model is also very nice. I think the tyres can last quite long IF you adjust your driving by not accelerating crazily every time.
Love the vids man.
That’s what I thought, I recall him shitting on Teslas.
He hated Tesla until he actually drove one.
Can't hate the future
He makes money talking crap on youtube… why stop
They also got better and somewhat cheaper.
I bought a new 2023 Chevy Bolt. I have had it one year. In 6 months my wife loved the car so much we bought a second Bolt. We have a Ford Explorer ICE vehicle for any road trips. I'm retired so charging speed is not an issue. These cars may not work for everyone for sure. But for us, we love them. They really do get up and move. Not like the Tesla, but for what we paid, all good.
Did you get the regular bolt or the EUV?
@@connorsterrett The regular Bolt for both cars.
Interesting, thank you.
I believe the electric battery is messing with Scotty’s metal plate in his head. He is going haywire
If you want a little fun, jack up the playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5....

@@andyhobbs2812 He could become airborne!
I got the Finnish Nokian tires (came with the car) on my US made model 3 long range. After three years of euro trips they still have good depth remaining. Range is excellent as well. No degradation and get 3-4 hours of highway driving between charges.
So true story, my boss bought a model 3 and a brand new corvette in the same month. And a month later he says he like drving the tesla way more, both because of speed, but all the software and systems works so great , he has more fun in the fun tesla pluss the way the software is integrated with everytrhing its just make so much more sense to use it daily. He said he will keep the corvette but will probably only drive it on really sunny days, whenhe just wants to coast around. Oh btw onthe distance. He drove the tesla to from Dallas to Oklahoma and made it there in one charge.
The casinos in Oklahoma are only like 75 miles from Dallas.
I've been driving a Tesla Model 3 since September 2019. I can say without any hesitation it is the best car I have ever owed. I'm 72, so I've seen a lot. I have a 240V charging station in the garage, so I just plug it in when it gets down to about 30%. I charge it to 90% which takes about four hours. No more stops at seedy gas stations. Tires can be a problem, but no more than a 400HP Mustang with an 18yo behind the wheel. It is temping to use than accelerator. Brakes should last forever. When you learn to drive the car, most of your driving will be done with a single pedal. This is because when you take your foot off the accelerator, the regenerating braking begins to work. For the most part the brake pedal is not needed. When you come to a full stop, the car holds itself in position, even on a hill. no need to keep the brake pedal mashed down. Tesla has spent many years refining their cars, ICE car companies are just throwing EVs together. They are building compliance cars and really could care less about building EVs that are real quality, they just want to get them out the door and make them someone else's problem.
Sure grandpa, now take your medication and go back to sleep. Tesla has the worst quality of all car brands. Really expensive to repair as well
@@thoos192 Tesla has the worst quality? What are you, an infant?
@@thoos192 Did you missed the part where Scotty said teh build quality is a lot better now? There is almost no maintenance on an EV. The repair thing is only true if you get into an accident. Thing is, grandpa has experience with both gas cars and EVs. Do you have any experience with an EV?
@@ymcpa73 Do you need to have personal experience with a lada from 1980 to know it has shitty quality? No. You know anyway. Just like with Tesla that falls apart as soon as you take it outside the garage. I know people with new Teslas and all of them needed repairs. Like bad sealing causing water to enter critical components, door handles always breaking or freezing shut, strange noices and creeking from everywhere, there are so many signs of bad quality. You just know it is a desposable car
@@thoos192Hate to break it to you, all cars are disposable. Tesla may had quality issues during its “production hell” but that is an ancient story. It seems all Tesla haters always have “friends” whose car constantly breaks down, but all positive reviews of Tesla are posted by actual owners. Are you just too prejudiced to accept all EV’s or just Tesla? Asking fora friend.
Im in Australia, and we had a heatwave a couple of weeks ago with temps in the high 40's (over 110 for you Fahrenheit folk). I walked past a parked tesla and that thing was LOUD. All the fans were running full speed and it sounded like it had a jet engine running in it!
😂
Yeah, I "did the maths" a couple of years back (South Aussie, with some of the most expensive electricity in the world!!), km km it was basically the same cost petrol or electric (UNLESS you could charge off your own home solar system). And even then you'd have to be "home" during the day (not out working) to charge it. All well and good until you want to take it on a country trip, and the range becomes an issue. Or the battery freaks just outside of warranty. That's before we look into the increased incidence of battery fires (I was a volunteer firefighter for 20 years, electric cars are going to be a PROBLEM). I think I'll stick with my 2006 Holden VZ for quite a while yet :)
If those fans stopped working Tesla would turn into an incinerator
These EV's won't last the Australian climate
@@OhSodditthis entire post made me laugh 😂 thanks for your un intelligent dribble.
3x faster tire wear for a Tesla? I have a dual motor Model 3. The first set of tires lasted 37K miles. Looks like this car has a serious alignment issue, especially seeing how much different the rear tires look.
Also... my Model 3 weighs exactly the same amount as the Audi S4 it replaced.
People floor these Tesla and wonder why tires don't last. 😂
Don´t forget to change your oil
I totally get it. They certainly have a function and purpose. One of these would probably work for me because I don't drive that far for most trips, car is in the garage a lot, have solar panels on the roof in a very sunny state. I'm a truck guy and always have been even after owning a few sports cars. I always go back to the trucks.
I guess you are waiting for the Cybertruck then.
I like Teslas because their a modern take on those old Russian Ladas lol.
Mechanically? Their dead simple. All the complexity is put into the software.
They have next to nothing except the utilitarian bare necessities, and gets the job done while at it.
One of the few car companies that sacrifices all the trinkets and aesthetics for better performance.
Factory tires on my model 3 lasted 53000 miles. The second set were selected with hard rubber at the cost of a little acceleration. They lasted 90,000 miles.
Cost?
@@palebeachbum Cost is whatever you would pay for your tires...the stock tire is a Michelin with a little extra sound deadening inside which bumps the price about $20, but you can use the standard version or put any other tires on the car. What you find with a Tesla is that virtually all maintenance either disappears or is really darn cheap. You know they have a 12V battery like a normal ICE vehicle and when that goes bad after 4 years or so (like any other car), Tesla comes to your home or office and replaces it for free under warrantee. They do the same thing on the second battery because you’re probably still under warrantee then as well. When was the last time GM or Toyota stopped by to replace your battery for free? Also, because of regenerative braking...you only need a brake job every 150,000 miles or so (and yes, normal brakes...nothing special). And no spark plugs, wires or oil changes among other things. Don’t let people talk you out of a Tesla, especially now while the $7500 tax credit is active. You can drive these cars half a million miles if you take reasonable care of them.
I think it is a myth that electric cars wear down tires faster. Most electric cars are just slightly heavier than gas ones and most people don´t drive like maniacs.
@@hermes667 the lightning pedal is a difficult thing in an EV. lol.
@@hermes667 Check the curb weights. Model 3 weighs 4,000 lbs. It's the same size car as a Hyundai Elantra, which weighs 2,700 lbs. Every EV is significantly heavier than a comparable size ICE. They do wear through tires faster as a result and the tires are comparatively very expensive.
The tires won't wear out 3x faster than an ICE car if you drive it normally. Sure, the motors can produce a lot more low end torque, but you don't have to apply it 100% all the time. That's up to the driver. It only weights about 600 lbs more than a similar ICE sedan. That won't cause the tires to wear 3x faster.
Good point. That's like saying a turbocharger makes your tires wear out 3x faster.
Nah, it will just tempt YOU to wear them out 3x faster 🤣
A model 3 doesn't weigh 600lbs more than an equivalent ICE sedan. Model 3 RWD 1760kg, LR & Perf 1840-1848kg
MB C300 1744kg, C63 AMG 1840kg
Audi A4 45TFSI 1688kg
The ICE cars are Tare mass (without the weight of a full tank of fuel).
yeah but some people can't resist, and the weight WILL make them wear faster for sure
These front tires at low mileage?! There's only one cause: the driver has been driving like a maniac.
Shh, that doesn't fit the narrative.
I own a 2020 model 3 SR+ with now 72,000 miles. I’ve only ever replaced the upper control arms . It’s been a pretty great car so far.definitely not ideal for road trips if you’re short on time
Love your work - always sensible common sense expert advice.
I like seeing Scotty having fun! 😂
Yeah I love him, it's like watching a toddler on a sugar high.
Shout out to the driver for using “ True North” air freshener. 💪🏾
I’m really curious what this owner did to wear those tires down so quickly. I got ~45k miles out of my first set(replaced them before they started getting bad), and I drive a heavier Model Y. It’s been no worse than any other cars I’ve owned. I have a handful of friends who also have Teslas, and they’re all seeing better wear levels than I am(I tend to floor mine a few times a day 😅).
Scotty did say something about he had bald tires on it from the rims he bought. Dunno if they were factory tires. Still if you punch it on the mxm4s a lot you can wear them out under 30k miles. Ask how I know.
EVs will never replace ICE cars. NEVER!
@@lamontjohnson5810 They might not replace ICE for all uses but it can definitely replace ICE for most uses. Right now EVs aren't great for towing and if you drive long distances all teh time. However, if they finally make solid state batteries a thing, it will replace ICE for all things.
@@lamontjohnson5810 keep hating. Dumazz
I've owned my Model 3 Performance for nearly 4 years now and I still love it just as much as the first month I drove it. I appreciate all kinds of cars so no need to hate on EVs, they have something to offer many people. I don't hate on diesels or gas powered cars I own many myself! 😛
Thank you. Most people who own EV look down there nose at me cause I drive a gas powered vehicle. I don't care if someone owns an EV it comes down to choice. I have thought of looking at an EV but it isn't a fit for me at the moment. If I had money to throw away I would buy my youngest son a Tesla but I don't make that kind of money.
I have a Model S and a Chevy Colorado. Love them both. The truck does truck stuff and the S does everything else.
...the hate mostly comes from people who has never service their own cars, oil, coolant, filters, transmission leaks on the floor , clogged catalytic converter and the list goes on and on....We need a car to commute to work and home plug it and that is that....little by little people will get it.
So you love to Ben Dover on overpriced throwaway junk cause you can't afford gas thanks for telling us hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha
I have a 3 and a Frontier, no need to pick a team.
Lithium peaked at $84,000 a ton and is now $13,400. I wonder if that will bring down the prices of EV'S
Yes, it makes a diff
@@effyourself3925they’re not a scam they just don’t have the range most people need also people in apartments can’t use them to charge from home
Charging from home also cost 1/4 what a supercharger cost
It crashed because EV demand was artificial and crashed. If demand goes back up so will the lithium price.
Love electric!! No OPEC!! No smelly gas!! No transmission to break!! No ICE with hundred of moving parts to break down. No oil changes.
Just fill er up with electrons!!😂😂😂
If you're a conservative driver, it should last a loooong time.
Tesla alone sold 1.8 million cars this years. Tesla doesn’t have a demand problem.
I have the same car as shown in the video with the acceleration boost also and my tires have not worn like that at all. I drive my car in chill mode 90% of the time, I prefer the smoother acceleration for daily driving and as a result my tires have lasted much longer. Also my car has almost 70K miles on it and the first set of tires lasted 60K miles and they weren't even completely bald when I swapped them out. You can tell, this guy's Model 3 LIVES in sport mode.
My dual motor model 3 long range has 55K miles on the original tires. Hasn't been in the shop once.
I believe you.

Always giving great info, thanks so much
Great to see Scotty again. I'm a long time subscriber, but YTube hasn't shown me one of Scotty's videos in *months*. So make sure you have your Subscriber type set to *All Videos*. I've lots to catch up on !
Coming from someone who drives 64 miles a day (95% highway), the base model 3 is great. I’ve never spent more than 10 minutes at a charging station. Added $20 to my insurance from a 2015 civic.
Why buy a driver's car for 64 miles a day drive?? Lol
@@kv1930 I’m not sure what you mean? I bought the car because it’s a smooth ride, I have solar on my house (so EV makes sense for me), and have saved over $2500 in 2023 compared to my old 2015 Honda Civic. Wouldn’t you want a drivers car for longer daily commutes? The model 3 price was less than my wife’s CRV after tax incentives.
@@Ccvikings2009 I need to apologize, when I re read my post I did not mean to sound like a prick. I meant if I had a,EV with that kind of performance I would drive it more. I'm excited to see what the next 10-20 years beings. I.M.O Tesla is a young company with limited track record! I love the handling, but I'm too cheap to pay for tires every 30K and insane insurance rates!
@@kv1930no worries! And I drive it a ton. 64 miles a day is a lot if you compare it to the national average. I already have 20K miles on it in less than a year. I personally love it and won’t go back from EV.
I’ll say this. If you own your home and have your own charging, you save way more. I rotated my tires once this year for $35. Basically my new oil change lol.
@@kv1930 Because most people drive under 50 miles for their commute. Are you saying no one should buy a driver's care unless they commute a few hundred miles every day?
This video is an example of how great electric vehicles can be for some people. The guy that bought this one , for example. It cost a lot less than his previous car. He does not routinely drive long distance, so charging is not an issue (even gets to charge for free at work!). And it’s faster than 95% of the cars on the road. I’m ready to buy one myself!
My wife bought a dual motor LR model Y against my wish 5 months ago. Now I can’t have enough of it. We have put 7000 miles on it so far.
Honestly, for long distance travel I prefer my model 3. I think you just have to take a road trip to really know what it's like. Super relaxing and much less fatigue/stress.
I've made two 2,400 miles round trip, trips to Florida, in my M3P and have had no issues with finding Supercharger locations, the car does it for you when navigating to your destination, or you can select charging under the navigation button to find what ever is nearby. I transitioned from a Yaris, 106hp, to the 540hp of the M3P. Visibility is excellent, handling is excellent, Seats are the best I've ever had and then there is the Stereo, that needs to be felt to believe how good it is (get the sub-woofer if you don't get the performace model).
would personally love to have a tesla. The idea of not having to ever go to gas stations (except on long trips) is so appealing.
@@moonasha Not going to the gas station is one of the best things, and with the Supercharger network, you CAN travel in a Tesla almost everywhere. Most stops are less than 20 min., just long enough to use a restroom or grab a snack or play a few games on the display. My M3P is my only vehicle and I charge it every day or two at home in a couple of hours (220V @ 32A). First trip to FLA was for the SLS launch and this time was for the Falcon Heavy USSF-52. Next trip is to Starbase for OFT-3.
How is the performance upgrade any different from an ECU remap? Nearly all cars with a turbo can be remapped for around +50bhp. Its exactly the same!
The tires on electric cars wear out faster, because it is a lot more fun accelerating - and ... espeacially at the beginning ... you are doing it quiet often. My EV (Hyundai Ioniq5) has about the same size, power and weight as my previous car (BMW X3 with 258 horsepower). But in the first months of using it, it lost lots of rubber 🙂. Now I am used to it, and I do accelerate normal, and the tires do not wear out significantly.
This is the only reason.
scotty, if you go electric, you'll have to change your intro to the sound of a whirring electric motor😆
With lots of dings
Naw, he can keep the sound file because the EVs are all gonna have speakers pushing out ICE car sounds so peds don't get run over because they can't hear the damn thing approaching and the drivers are in self drive, not paying attention and self drive consistently doesn't stop for children.
@@James_Bee EVs have had to make sounds for several yrs, mostly because of walking phones. I like the pro dragster effect.
The child thing is bullshyt started by FSD competitors.
We enjoy your videos a lot, they are all full of useful tips 🙏
I have the same car. Its definitely very fast and pushes u back into the seat! The insurance i pay in los angeles is actually cheaper than my previous car a 2021 sti so honestly depends on ur area. I charge at home for about 55 bucks a month for the electricity. So far i really do like it! 👍
The video I had been waiting for for several years. lol Go, Scotty, go!
I knew he would come around since he first tried a Tesla...couple yrs ago
My first set of tires for my Model Y lasted me 22k miles. I did the typical flooring it off the line the first several months and occasionally whenever giving someone new a ride/demo.
Yeah. I do that in my C8. Its faster and sounds cool when I up shift and the car pops really loud. I get filmed driving quite a lot too. No one looks at a model Y. They look at my car.
@@darksideblues135 I didn’t get my Model Y to draw attention per se. It has the performance I want along with the other benefits I need in a car. I prefer listening to music without going deaf so a loud car is not desirable for me. The point of my comment was to push back on how quickly the tires wear. They do go faster but not nearly as fast as mentioned.
@@darksideblues135 Yeah, okay pal. Riiiiiight. Sure they do🙄(It's like, yes, of course they do...they definitely do. I mean, _why wouldn't they_ wanna look at you? Come on, give me a break, just _look_ at you. Why I'll bet there's not a man anywhere around that can't take their eyes off of you once they've spotted you! 🤮)
Maybe if you were blonde, in your mid-20's w/a nice rack & the top down, again, _maybe._ Sounds to me like what we have here, is the ol' classic case of _mid-life crisis/over-compensation syndrome_ if you know what I'm saying(and I'm pret-ty sure we BOTH know _ya do!_) 😆🤣😝
. A vet really? No they look at the CYBERTRUCK
My 2014 Lexus Is 350 F-Sport had a sticker on the window when I bought it saying the tires may only last 15,000 miles. It’s because of the AWD system. I have 14k on my Tesla tires and they still have life left.
You're 90% correct on the tire wear. I find it hard to believe that weight only is the factor. My Hellcat was at least as heavy. And had a lot of tire wear. But mostly because of driving habits. If you have a soft, sticky, performance tire (like the pirelli's) then that's gonna happen despite weight. Also, Tesla alignment isn't great from the factory. A good race shop (Peitz performance) knows how to optimize alignment based on your driving conditions. Straight, cornering, etc. These cars are definitely not optimized for tire wear. It seems more performance based and tire choice decisions in my experience. But they do ware fast.
I wonder if Scotty is taking into account that over the last couple of years most tire manufacturers are making EV specific tires designed with the added weight of an EV in mind. I would argue that driving style plays a much bigger role than the weight of the EV itself given most new EVs are coming from the manufacturer with OEM EV specific tires designed to account for the added weight of the vehicle they are going on. I have an EV and I do not drive "spirited" and I rotate my tires regularly and I do not see any more wear on my EV tires than I did on my ICE vehicle tires. That is, of course, anectdotal evidince but I largely find that critique of EVs to be silly personally since, as you pointed out, ICE vehicle owners can burn through tires too if they drive harder than typical.
Typical Tesla owners have money to burn so they don't give a sh$t about tires,quality or higher insurance and reg in some states!
@@jamescardelli4254 Need more folks like you with firsthand knowledge. I have a 2023 Model 3 Performance on pirelli p zero tires (20" Uberturbine wheels), drive spiritedly as hell, and still see average tire wear. I had a Toyota Tacoma with all season BF Goodrich tires before I sold it for my Tesla, and the tires on that went out way quicker somehow. Im starting to think the "EV tires shred faster" bro-science topic is a myth.
Read owners' comments. Tires last just fine.
I got a 22 Model 3 Performance. I’ve put 52k on it in less than 18 months. You get used to the instruments not being there. Your speed infor is in the top left though and actually requires less eye movement to check than looking down through the steering wheel. I believe it helps with keeping eyes on the road and greater peripheral vision. I got it before the price cuts but don’t care bc I plan to get 200k+ before I get rid of it. They are great cars if you live in a city or suburb and have a garage. And it beats basically everything other than another Tesla around town 😂😂
I bought a 2019 LEAF SL Plus last spring with only 6K on it. (It was a leased car and garage kept by a New York city resident which explains the really low miles.) Has leather and just about all the whistles and bells and the larger (62 kWh) battery with 214 mile range. 214 HP with 250 Ft lbs. of torque. Absolutely love it. We use it for about 95% of our transportation needs. We also have a 2018 Silverado I use for work sometimes and when I need to tow or haul large or heavy items. My wife has a 2020 Corolla so we usally take it or the Silverado for longer trips but for around town and within 100 miles of so of home our electric fits our needs perfectly. ;-) Never having to stop at gas stations and averaging only 3 1/2 cents per mile in fuel (electricity) cost, because I charge at home, is nice too.
I had a leaf but my tesla is another world,
We go on serious road trips for fun
I have a C8 corvette, limited edition 70th anniversary car. People love it. I see people filming my car or taking pictures of it as I drive by.
The range on it is about 350 miles. Even in track mode I get on average about 25 mpg. It has 495 HP with 470 foot pound of torgue. Zero to 60 time in 2.9 seconds. Costs me maybe 70 bucks to fill it with octane 92. And since I don't have to wait 24 plus hours to charge it at home, I save 2400 dollars each time I fill my tank up.
And as for getting gas, my wife, who has a charger, v8, 450 HP, we go together in a caravan. We pull in, both getting gas at neighboring pumps, both cars are white. People start talking to us about the cars... And then when we are done, people get to hear two V8's starting at the same time. Parents ask us to rev the engines for their kids. Its awesome.
@@darksideblues135 LOL. Sounds like a nice Vette. I have never had to wait for my electric to charge at home. It does it while I am doing other things at home, you know, like whatching TV, chatting on the internet or sleeping. a charge up from 20% battery to a 80% charge level takes under 7 hours here at home and under an hour at a DC fast charger.
You really cant take a leaf for long trip. Lack of thermal management and slow fast charge is its biggest weakness.
I love when Scotty taps on things for quality check😂😂 go to 4:00
Absolutely fair point about paying for speed. But kinda like how you can get anything on your phone but you have to buy some apps and no external mod was needed to use the app 🤷♂️
I have the same model long range with speed upgrade.. The upgrade to me was pretty good. My old BMW had to go see a Guy and he did a stage one tuning and it wasn't any cheaper. if you look what people pay at garages to get that. much more performance the Tesla charge is reasonable. if your heavy footed at every stop sign and light you will burn through the tires quicker and the car has tons of torque and will use up the tires.. get a 220 charger installed at home for a few hundred and charge at home for $3-4.. if you need to go to a super charger no one ever charges it all the way.. 1/2 to 3/4 or enough is all you need to get to next spot.. quick charging is pretty quick where full charge can take much longer and rarely necessary.. its a different approach then using gas..
The 2 car household and one's an EV, is what exactly what we did and also mainly because my wife's commute is under 5 miles. You're "cold engine, unburnt fuel, gunk buildup" video essentially influenced our decision to get an EV for all our short trips.
I want to eventually get my hands on a small classic gasoline car, like a '73 VW Beetle, '60-'70's Mini Cooper or maybe even a hand built hotrod.
less than 5 miles? Get a bike, man...
Buy a corolla, none of those, I've owned them all.
@mrofnocnon I don't need a Corolla, I already drive a Camry hybrid. Just wish Toyota made a Plug-In Hybrid version to their lineup and not just for the Prius. That would have been a much more logical choice for my wife vs an EV, but then again Prius Plug-In Hybrids for example were near impossible to find where I live.
@@zurrasp0 Thats bad advice brother. Not every one live in cities where bikes are useful or public transport.
I live few miles from work and straight shot means I gotta do a busy highway with narrow shoulder and cross a freeway. I wont bike to work if I lived in a very hilly place neither.
@@fmotts4485It’s very unfortunate to live in a place where you can’t bike 5 miles because everything is built around cars
One thing I love about Scotty is the active talking, I just admire that. I have a 2023 Tesla Dual Motor, and it is insanely fast. The first thing I did was change its mode to its comfort setting. Now, it is 0-60 in 7 seconds, so not bad. Phenomenal vehicle, charges in 25 minutes, and 6 months free supercharging. It has a mind of its own. Asked the dealer on the day of pickup, when am I bringing the vehicle back for its first service? He said 2026 to change its cabin air filter. I was simply dumbfounded.
Do you pay for annual or bi-annual state inspection stickers?
@@coachbroncoNo inspection for Tesla for the last five years in Utah at least. And instead of paying the whole annual registration fee, I use mileage tracking, makes it much cheaper. This is a commuter car for me, I only put 40K miles in 5 years. If you only have one car in the household, I'd stick with gas for many reasons. Although, I did drive far with my Tesla, supercharging network is super good, and car knows when to charge for how long, and how many stalls are available.
sure bud, just have to look at the amount of people who need a new battery on these toasters, specially the ones in colder climates, hope your ready to pay the price of the car for the replacement but hey you have no "service" fees
"It has a mind of it's own". No thanks. I'll stick to mechanical cars thanks very much.
@@alphaomicron8So how can all US sold EV's be warrenteed for 8 years/100,000 miles if the batteries are no good?
I find touching the screen is rare. Once you set everthing how you like, you're pretty done. Most all changes (weather etc) are via scroll wheels on the wheel. People do also ignore voice commands as an easy way to do things.
My model 3's tires were still going strong at almost 40k miles. I would recommend getting the RWD Long Range as the tires last longer
Scotty, here in south Africa one can also remap a diesel, and it will go a lot faster.
Tesla lowered their prices cause they could manufacture them for cheaper, and for the charging Tesla is the only one people should take a long trip in, just like Sandy explained on Munro and associates videos.
Thanks for videos.
Will from,,🇿🇦
I've drove a Mustang Mach E from Illinois to Florida no problem. Yes you stop more but when you're on vacation we always stop more. With kids and a dog and stretch your legs, its minor
Sandy Munroe has been bought off by Musk. His videos on Teslas are garbage A@$ Kissing.
Why would you pay a mechanic to check it by running tests? You can literally go into service mode on these cars and run all the tests yourself and check all of its sensors, battery capacity etc.
Honestly it’s just Settings menu > Software > hold finger on car name for 5 seconds > then enter the password which is simply service, Tesla literally tell you how to do it on their own site.
Physically you only need to check the tyres, brakes, disks, underside for any big knocks etc.
Tyra Banks??
thank you for that tip. that would save a ton in fees.
@@strangefire2024 😁👍
Scotty is in the passenger seat. Doubt he's being paid to check out this car. The owner is probably showing it to Scotty because Scotty has been saying he'd like to see one in many videos. It's just a review.
What if the password is not simply service? How do you reset it?
I drove a friend’s Tesla and it was a blast, I just didn’t like turning my head to see the gauges and gps. I really don’t like apps to control everything, I like the buttons on my ‘15 Honda CR-V that I can feel without looking to change the radio station and climate control.
They just showed on UA-cam a charging station in Chicago's deep freeze winter there, and the charging stations are broken. The customers can not get in touch with Tesla customer service. Sounds like that Steve Miller Band song, Take the Money and Run.
If Scotty should ever get arrested,the cops won't have to advise him of his right to remain silent.Because that would be 100%guaranteed as long as he has cuffs on.He needs to move his arms to talk.
God bless him!
Those are not the stock rims that came with the car. That’s a long range with a speed boost option. Those rims are the performance rims that he may have purchased with used tires. I have a Model Y long range with the Speed Boost option and 20” rims. Because I like the car so much, I’ll eventually upgrade to a full Performance Y once they refresh it. Agree that tire wear may be a little accelerated compared to say a Honda Civic, but I’ve owned BMWs in the past that chew through tires for lunch. I just drove the car today over 210 miles. It will cost me ~$6.50 in electricity charging it on my Level II charger at my home, which will charge the car for about ~4 1/2 hours at 11 KW. Because of that, I only go to superchargers if I road trip the car (unless I take one of my gas vehicles).
He mentioned they weren't stock.
I can't wait until the taxes start getting passed on EVs to pay for the roads.
You're not paying for it at the pump because you got an EV, but it won't be long before all the states wise up.
@@James_BeeThen my Tesla, which is my third car, will go back to being a gas car. Market will decide on that from a cost standpoint. I 100% agree though, that right now EVs are definitely subsidized. Time will tell.
@@James_Bee - Many states already charge a fee to pay for roads when you register your electric car. Your comment is just another example of how little most people know about EVs.
Yes most mechanics will be pissed to see and drive the end of their career. Not much need for an OBD scan tool when you have the service mode.
I just sold my all wheel drive, diesel Ford suv with two turbochargers, transfer case, a delicate 10r80 transmission, two differentials and all the stuff that makes mechanics happy to see you. The Model Y performance insurance is cheaper than we were paying on Ford by a small amount. Spending 8 bucks to drive back from the beach now is great compared to 45 - 50 for the Diesel. We didn’t buy it to change the world, but the fact that they are extremely safe to crash in was important for our two babies ;-). But the Test drive was main selling point.
@@chiplangowski3298 wait until they charge the real cost not just a e fee. When cars are all electric an e tax of thousands will be needed to pay for the roads repairs. CA already expects a billion dollar will be needed by 2030.
The most fun rant I’ve heard in a while AND I learned a lot!! ❤
I just rented a Model 3 for 2 weeks. Never driven an EV before. The car drives extremely well. The suspension is perfectly damped and is soft, without feeling disconnected. Roomy car, quiet car. Drives how I hoped it would, and charging it was pretty seamless. The problems was interacting with the car. You drive a car, and then you have to use a laptop, while you drive, to control it's functions. Not great.
Not great because it is not what you are used too. In not too many years the then adults will talk about how silly it was to do it any other way. Yes I too prefer what I am used to like you.
I've got a model y performance with the full FSD and it's mind blowing.
I have a hayabusa, get some real speed lol

yes ev's weigh a little more than a similar sized car, but the best selling vehicle in the US is the F150 and that weighs more than twice a model 3 LR
Put the vehicle in chill mode and the tires will last longer
@@herbkent5665Electric cars are heavier than ICE cars. The extra weight erodes tires and roads faster.

Loved seeing Scotty flyin in a Tesla, good stuff :) Take care man.
The pay for things already on the car is something that is being more and more common. BMW charges a monthly REBTAL fee for heated seats not additional purchase price.

It's just you.
yep, its just you
Funny Scotty? A root canal w/o Novocain is funnier

@@Winterstick549 He is mad and annoying.....
Drove from Los Angeles to New Orleans in a Model Y Tesla. No problem in charging. The car found all the chargers I needed and plotted the fastest route with the most chargers. Made it so that I could use the longer charges for lunch and dinner. Took 2 days each way including a motel stop at the middle of each trip. Charging time was between 8 minutes to 1 hour depending on the distance between chargers. Advised me once that I need to slow down to 75mph in order for me to make it to the next charger.
Yeah, no problem charging when one car in a hundred is electric. What happens if the entire world goes insane and switches to EV?
@@larky368Tesla becomes rich with their superchargers 😂
Same dynamic when we went from horses to cars. It was acutally harder back then but the transition was still incredibly fast. Right now the generation of electricity needs to go up 25-30% for a 100% switchover to EVs. Tesla is going to be key when it comes to building chargers since they can build 4-5 chargers for the same cost others need to build one. This pricing was revealed during the bidding for chargers in Texas. @@larky368
@@larky368 Tesla is building super charging stations at a high rate. Currently there are enough that you can travel anywhere in the US & Canada, and they're never full. Tesla is also signing contracts with lots of companies to install charging stations. BP just made its first $100m order out of a planned $1b. Hilton and Best Western are ordering tens of thousands of overnight chargers to install at thousands of hotels. It's coming. The extra power will be made possible by more nuclear plants, solar panels installed at the charging stations and the megapacks super batteries that will charge during off-peak hours & save that electricity for when it's needed (that presently just goes to waste)
That's about the hardest route you can take in an EV as well. I go up and down the east coast and it's even easier. I actually encountered a full charging bank once. I just drove 15 more miles up the road and that one was empty.
To answer @larky's question about there being more EVs.....you don't charge exclusively on super chargers. You only do it on road trips. So the need for super chargers will increase at only a fraction of the rate of EV adoption. There are also already so many charging banks along the coasts that I'm completely unconcerned with availability. And they're still building more. The main concern I have is Tesla's mapping algorithm being good enough to route you to available charging banks with hours of notice. It would be cool if at some point they let you pay to reserve charging windows at certain stations (possibly for an additional small fee?) just to remove any doubt that you'll have trouble with availability.
The frunk is small and impractical? Compared to …. Every other car that doesn’t have one? Just sayin. We use our frunk all the time.
Our 220v 50amp connection did not cost a couple grand.
you dont need obd, you can just go into service mode and see everything there. its quite simple to access
I don't own a Tesla but from videos I see people going into service mode to diagnose them...why you need an OBD port for?
Working very hard to find faults. That's Scotty!
If you install a 14-50R or similar receptacle to plug in the EV charger, for gods sake make sure the receptacle is rated as commercial grade. Otherwise you risk the chance of burning your home down like Scotty mentioned.
We have aT3 like this one. Steering is 2 turns LtoL. and very precise. There is no "wiggle" in the steering, it's always poointed the right way. Not like my 59 Vette with worm and sector steering box, king pin suspension.... The Tesla are smooth and quiet. It takes 15 minutes to charge from 0 to 80%, 300 miles. 30 min for the last 20%.. Tesla chargers are "everywhere". We drive hwy 49/88/50 in the sierra mtns. We see them every mile or so, literally. get one. The Tesla walks the 59 vette off the line. It's all catch up but the 500+HP catches up at the end. barely
Quick charge will also decrease the battery life span a lot.
@@sierraecho884 oh? how much battery life is used up with each super charge?
@@TheHypnotstCollector Hard to tell. There is a battery comparison guy on youtube he has done some testing with Teslas which are older Teslas which used super charging a lot etc. Try to find that content. I think a 3 year old Tesla which super charged a lot can los about 10% or so.
Basically follow the rules:
1. Don´t charge over 80% if you don´t have to
2. Don´t charge with over 1C in in other words don´t use super charger if you don´t have to. The slower you charge it the longer the battery will last.
3. Don´t let is sit in really hot or really cold weather, batteries like 20°C.
Should last you for at least 1000 Cycles. Meaning 1000x fully charging and discharging.
Got my EV9 GT 12/21, already put 2600 miles on. Its fantastic so far, but cold weather and ascending elevation drives will reduce range significantly. That's ok though, just be prepared.
I've seen quite a few comments from owners that they live in cold climates and they have no problems.
Scotty's extra jacked up after riding in a car that's that fast. Acceleration will always get your adrenaline going. Scotty just might become a Tesla fan.
I like the concept, but in the cold mid western winters, it's not a good idea.. also, i just can't find a good electrician to work on them.. dealership's can't seem to fix regular internal combustion vehicles.. can't imagine trying to get this fixed..
Batteries in the new model Y coming out mid 2024 charge better at low temperature. Battery just got some big engineering award in Europe (this week). Also they don’t catch fire.
You don’t service a Tesla with a mechanic. Tesla sends a mechanic to your house.
@@tromboneface Ive owned two ford hev's and a Gm phev, and now a toyota hev, the mechanics can't fix them, and i can't fix them, so they are nightmares when they break, full gas i can fix in my driveway, it's a much better solution to a lack of skills.. the tesla new battery will be interesting, but, until the technology is proven, i wouldn't buy one.. i also don't want trackers enabled, driving statistics, gps updates, location services or downloadable data. These new cars all want too much info, i don't think i'm the right market. but, from owning the phev the winter weather here made it pointless.. spring to fall i never touched a gas pump, but in the winter i was average 13mpg which was pretty much useless..

The explanation for software locking the extra acceleration is that it's harder on the battery and the motor, which are covered under warranty. If you drive it hard and floor it all the time, then chances are much higher that Tesla will need to repair the motor or replace the battery for you under warranty.
That´s nonsense. It just streamlines manufacturing. Like back in the day when you got Win95 CD, only the key gave you the version you payed for it wouldn´t make sense to produce different versions of it.
Teslas don't weigh any more than regular cars.
My Model Y has 14000 miles on it and the tires look brand new.
Tire wear depends on your driving style in any car.
Nice licence plate at the Tesla ! 😂 Thats why his tires wear out so fast ! 😂 Best regards from a very satisfied Toyota Prius III driver from Germany ! 🥳😊 Scotty, I really like your motorcycle taste, because I'm driving Triumph since 2007 with a Speed Triple 1050 ! Now I bought a new Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro, because im gettin older and want to sit comfortable by drivin long Biker Tours with my buddies ! 😉😁🥳
Nice bike man. I got the bmw s1000 xr. Love the upright ride with my Superbike engine and handling.
Ellon should have spoke with Scotty 1st, he knows everything!
Thanks for making videos scotty.
heh got my MYLR in June, and yeah the test drive told me it was insanely quick. There was no way I was going to pay more for the "performance".
My car is faster out of the box. And everyone loves my car. They film me and take pictures of my car. Its hilarious.
The additional wear is more from the constant peak tourque and not the weight. Its similar in weight to a large SUV or light duty truck and neither of those would melt their tyres as fast
Yeah, it's how the guy's driving it more than anything else.
Might also be the fact he has a hoonigan license plate with the slogan “kill all tires”
Toward end of video, I think Scotty said the owner bought new rims with older tires because he didn't like the rims that came with the car. Suspect driver is hell on wheels, and that also increases wear. Otherwise, why pay the $2k upgrade price for more performance.
I'm the exact opposite. A friend once said I'm the only person she knew who could drive down a dirt road without raising dust. (And I've likely decreased driving speed in the 42 years since.)
Both. You can look it up. More weight wears the tread out faster. Tesla tires are also bigger and more expensive
A great video Scotty. Thumbs up!
Live in suburban So Cal wife's round trip commute is about 40 miles, got her a Model Y Dual Motor (330 mile range). Since I only drive 6 miles per day I use the dinosaur (F-150 FX4) and we use that for longer trips, with a 435i manual transmission coupe as a weekend car. We fit the demographics for optimal EV use- short(ish) daily commutes, multiple cars in household, home solar producing an excess of kWh, and a time-of-use plan that makes charging after midnight $0.09/kWh. I get why an EV doesn't work for a lot of people, but it definitely does for our household.
scotty buying additional software is how computers kinda work...it's a new day
It will go zero to the junk yard really fast too 😮
The junkyards filled with 0 profit margin designed to fail ICE still with stock plugs
The thing about software changes to unlock features already there - that practice actually saves customers money.
The market wants a range of different versions, with different performance, at different price points. Building versions which are actually physically different costs more in inventory, production scheduling, all sorts of things.
If you make 1 version, and get the differentiation via software, you can sell all of the "different versions" cheaper than if you'd had to engineer them as physically different.
I find the Hoonigan "kill all tires" plate funny as hell considering the tires condition
Scotty has a lot of life in him. There's no arguing that! Lol!

The tire wear alone is nuts! And I can tell you from doing regular beach cleanups we don’t need any more crap in the ocean!🤦♀️🌊 but that takeoff from a stop would be pretty fun😈 great video Scotty👏🏻
causes cancer as an added e-bonus.
The brake pad wear is almost non existent tho
It’s a trade off
@@Kylewraps Pads are cheaper than tires
looks like my son's 1995 Lexus SC400. He was constantly doing burnouts and wore down the rear tires way faster than I ever have.
@@directorbeau they won’t wear that fast as long as you creep up on the acceleration
Most people push the pedal midway and the instant torque is what wears out the tires so just ease on up the pedal and the tires will last longer
Nice gears pfp btw

Double pane
