Foreigner buys a TESLA in China 🚗 Q+A Do you really need a car in Shanghai?
Вставка

- Shanghai is home to the Tesla Gigafactory, supplying the world with its brand new made to order electric vehicles. Electric Vehicles (EV), specifically cars, are increasingly popular in Shanghai and throughout China. With cities implementing restrictions on cars in the city centre to reduce emissions and traffic, EVs have been the way to go. But with Shanghai’s electric vehicle license plate policy not being extended or renewed into 2024, it was time to purchase our baby before the policy ended. But Tesla isn’t the only electric vehicle on the road (pun intended), a great and more affordable alternative is BYD (build your dreams) which is quickly becoming the front runner in electric cars in the city. I even saw some BYD models in England on my recent visit!
Thinking of getting the new refreshed Tesla model Y? Set to launch outside of China very soon, the refreshed model Y has interior LED lighting much like the new Tesla model 3.
In this video we will share our experience with buying a brand new Tesla in China and share with you some of the features of the model Y. We also took the car to a specialist detail shop, DZS Detail, for a final protective wrap and to give our new motor baby a splash of colour.
If you have any recommendations on places to visit on a China roadtrip, let us know in the comments! Also if you have any ideas on names for the car, let us know too!
Thank you for watching!

特斯拉在上海建立了超级工厂，旨在为全世界提供新能源汽车。电车在上海甚至整个中国都越来越受欢迎。随着各种限行政策的逐渐严苛，电车已经成为目前最优的选择。上海在2022年颁布了相关政策来支持新能源市场的大力发展，但此政策将在2023年底结束。至于2024年的政策走向，目前还没有披露，所以面对这样的不确定性时，我们决定在已知政策的尾端入手一辆电车。
不得不说，中国的电车市场层出不穷，百家争鸣。并非只有特斯拉一家，还有各式各样的中国电车品牌的崛起。例如比亚迪就是一个伟大而强劲的竞争对手，它极其快速地在市场上打出名堂，销往全世界。我最近在回英国过圣诞时，也看到了许多比亚迪的车。
你想要购入一辆刚经历小改款的Model Y嘛？新改款的Y增加了氛围灯，这一点与焕新版model 3非常相似。本视频中，我们将分享我们在中国买特斯拉的体验，并与你分享Model Y的一些功能。同时我们还将爱车送到了专业的贴膜店DZS进行改色以及玻璃隔热贴膜。
如果你对中国自驾游有什么推荐的好去处，请在评论区告诉我们！另外，如果你对汽车的可爱昵称有好的想法，也请不要犹豫留言给我们！
感谢你的观看与支持。

Road trips in a Tesla is fantastic. It’s fun, safe and the autopilot makes driving very relaxing. The seat is so comfortable. I am totally spoiled by my Tesla Y which I have for 2 years and LOVE it. You will never regret your decision. Have fun. 🎉
We’ve just come back from a 1200km roadtrip in the model Y. It was very comfortable as a passenger and very reliable to drive too!
Happy & awesome couple !
This is so exciting!!! With a car it will be so much easier to explore SH and the neighboring cities.
Thank you! We are so excited to start some road trips in 2024! We've already used the car for spontaneous dates into the countryside 🥰
好酷的车膜！
Wow! Congrats 🥳
I literally thought yesterday why r u not uploading new year vlog,
And now you drop this.. Superb!! 🎉🎉
Thank you for watching! We took a little break over Christmas whilst I (Natt) flew back to England for a few days to see family. We are now back to posting every 2 weeks, hopefully with some new roadtrips in 2024! 🥰
@@ExpatNattroad trips volgs will be interesting 🎉🎉
It’s so cool that you have a car!! I can’t wait to see all the road trips.
Same! I haven’t seen many China roadtrips on UA-cam so research for the roadtrips is slow going hahah 😅😅❤️
Congrats！
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Congratulations guys!
Thank you! ❤️
What a cool video! Thank you for sharing so much about the process of getting a car in China. Had no idea a license plate was so expensive but that is sensible to limit traffic and road congestion as well as fund public road maintenance. If I were in China I would totally get a BYD and support Chinese companies. But you're right as well - you can't go wrong with Tesla, and they do manufacture them there. Congratulations!
Thank you! Yes, BYD is a great option and I can totally see why they are so popular!❤️
Awesome & good taste color car. China is the most safety country to travel or anything else.
😅At the time you released this video, it is the 7th of January 2024, so, Happy New Year to you and your boyfriend, May 2024 bring peace, love, health, wealth and joy! At this period BYD is actually #1 in the world, Testla is #2. 🤸♂️🏅🥂💡💪✋👌👍🎉💟💖💓🙏
Happy New Year! Thank you for watching! When this video was edited the end of year 2023 for Tesla and BYD figures had not been published, but BYD is definitely a front runner for 2024 (I LOVE some of their models, but for us the Model Y took top place for Miu- He's a car guy).
Congrats on your car purchase. It changes everything. BYD is the biggest EV car company in the world right now, but Tesla is a great car still. I probably will never get an electric car here in the US because of convenience.
Yes, I agree with the convenience things, I recently went back to England and noticed they have many more EV charging stations and EVs compared to when I was there in summer but it’s still not as convenient as a fuel car yet.
I live in the US and have a Tesla Y for 2 years, charging is not a problem at all, I charge it at home except on long road trips. Charging at home is extremely convenient and cheap. Superchargers on the road trips are easy and reliable. The navigation tells you where all the Superchargers are on your route and how much range you will have went you get there, even warm up your battery so you can charge at maximum speed. The technology in a Tesla is so advanced, one can only experience it after driving it for a while. It keeps downloading new software to improve your car. It’s an amazing car. It’s fast, fun, safe and has the best technology. Plus you can get $7,500 Federal Credit up front now. I am 78 and this is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned.
Oh my, that's an expensive car! Congrats. Enjoy. Drive safely.
Thank you! Still much cheaper than buying it in the UK so I see it as saving money 😂😂 girl maths 😂
Even after tax?
@@TravelinChina yes, around £15-20k cheaper!
Wow. I think maybe still a bit too expensive for me. I'll be sticking with Chinese brands.@@ExpatNatt
@TravelinChina there are some really great Chinese brands, Tesla is definitely an unnecessary luxury!
Congratulations on the new car. Feel really happy for you.
In terms of road trip recommendations. I would go to Lishui of Zhejiang province which is close to Shanghai. This mountainous area has many unspoiled landscapes and villages. They have many trails that you can stop and do a hike with beauty views of mountain and river.
Again, congratulations and enjoy your new car and the mobility it brings.
Thank you ❤️❤️
The way my mouth dropped when you said the cost of the license plate. Also I didn't know that Teslas were made in China. Seems like you guys really made a well thought out decision. Congrats on your new car!
Thank you! Yes it blew my mind too 😅😅
Congrats on getting your Teala! It was great to hear your report! When I was in Shanghai years ago, I remembered driving up a crazy circular on ramp to a freeway that went very high up, did I remember that correctly or was I imaging it?
Thank you! There are many highways like this in Shanghai that have circular roads leading on and off of quite high up highways. It always makes me feel like I’m living in the future hahah
Life changes so much after getting a car, we can do so much more spontaneously trips
Where should we go?! Sorry I couldn’t buy you your lambo 😉
My older sister bought a Tesal model Y last year,its a nice car and the E-car is very popular in china now.🥰🥰The color is the same with yours ,its also black.
It’s very popular and I see them everywhere I go hahaha. We had ours wrapped so it wouldn’t be black for long, too many black cars in Shanghai, we wanted something more exciting 😂😂 the black is very nice and sleek though!
OMG, wrapping a brand new car; are you insane?!
And, Tesla! Isn't the badge so yesterday?
Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for you nevertheless and I look forward to watching your road trips in the near future.
Tesla don’t put a protective coating on their cars (to force you to pay extra at their garage for the protective coating) so it would need to wrapped with a protective layer regardless, why not make it a fun colour! For us in Shanghai and being near the gigafactory it is a very convenient and reliable car with quick rescue option if we break down or it needs to go in for repairs. Honestly I’m not a car gal, but it was certainly more affordable than the Lamborghini Miu wants hahaha
I never knew license plates cost so much in China! 😮 Here in the USA, gas prices, maintenance, and annual property taxes (for simply owning an operable vehicle that touches the public streets even once during a given year) are the continual costs I would have to worry about if I owned a vehicle. A road trip from China all the way to the UK or anywhere in Africa would be epic and in my mind, at least, a fun idea lol! The colors shown at the end looked awesome-- especially that metallic crimson brown one!
Yeah they are so expensive! Luckily the running costs are much cheaper than a car in the UK too. I’d love to do an epic roadtrip but we both work very long hours and Miu only gets 10 days holiday a year so we are very limited to short roadtrips (until we win the lottery 😉) the metallic crimson one is our one! I’ve never seen a car that colour before so I’m absolutely in love with it! ❤️
Yes especially in tier 1 cities. This is bc as u know cities in China are extremely populated compared to abroad. Dense, too. Too many cars would just be awful in Shanghai. That's why the gov is ensuring the metros are well kept and functional so they would be preferred for traveling.
woww the Licence plate in a mega city like Shanghai is only £10,000.. in a fairly small city like Singapore cost a lot more..
It’s actually closer to £12000 but still it’s cheaper than some other places in the world, especially smaller cities where they want to reduce the amount of cars in the city. In England the license plates are free so this was a big shock to me hahah
完全可以等等 M3销量都下去了搞促销 MY等着其他品牌竞品铺开也得降价
Noooo why not support Chinese brands 😢
特斯拉国产率比国产品牌还高，几乎达到95%，买特斯拉是最爱过的
MY M3降价了
Well, i respect that too😅! Maybe if he lived in Europes he would be more open 😊. But ok, just answer what attracted you the most on chinese man and do you think size matter or not? Basically its an issue that many have speciallu asians have the fame of not having a good size.
Saluts from Cambridge, Uk!
Honestly I had never really been attracted to Chinese men, I didn’t really know any and it wasn’t something I considered before I met Miu. I would love him even if he was an alien so for me race doesn’t matter at all. That’s not to say that I don’t find him attractive because I definitely do. I think now that I live in China I notice there are so many attractive people all over the world. As for size, I don’t really know if the stereotype is true. I think if you google average sizes there’s not actually much difference between countries worldwide, at least not a big enough difference that it would be noticeable unless you were a doctor and had seen many first hand 😅😅😅
@@ExpatNatt . Well, you're right race in the end is a very little factor to take into consideration, as whats important is how you feel with them. Also, i get your thought because from you tried to say is that you didn't feel attracted to chinese men or even another asian race i guesse coz you didn't meet or saw them close by, but aftwr that your mindset changed.
Yeah, its somehow a debate that us human beings have constantly. You are right there not much difference worldwide like fot example the highest is 6.93" that is equator and DRC. And as for asians I thought that China was the Smallest one and i was surprised to see that ehe average chinese men erect/stretched is 5.09 (12.9cm) and countries like India and korea i guess were the smallest with 3.09 worldwide. Worldwide we have average, but only smallest % ot greater that average 5". In conclusion, I think this depends from one person to another. You said you dont think this stereotypes are true, but before meeting Miu and after didn't you notice any difference between your previous dates and after meeting Miu.😅
N.B I am not a doctor 😅😂
Are you happy with his size, like is satisfactory for you as lady. Sorry, iam getting a bit deep, but i always had the curiosity of this sexual curiosity on asians and western girls on such matter😅😅.
You are so obsessed with male genitals. It's not size that matters it's the man himself.
Your guy buy trash
