THIS IS WHY BILL GATES BOUGHT A TAYCAN
Lol
Lol.
You need to hack the supercharger dc for this car
Rich Rebuilds what happen the X you bought?! Just use that
That and the excessive tracking Tesla does. Microsoft Windows also does similar tracking (called Telemetry) so Gates knows he doesn’t want Elon knowing everything about him.
I'm a new viewer so excuse me for my ignorance.
If you dislike Tesla so much, why not get a taycan or something comparable? I understand the flaws of Tesla, but doesn't it affect you to make their flaws your focus? It seems like your channel is focused on tesla hate, yet you still drive one and work on them, so I'm a little confused. Thank you! 😄
The fact that Tesla disable the ability to fast charge after the PAID certified inspection is completely madness.
This will affect their new car customers too. Premiums will go up if they recoup less on damaged vehicle auctions.
It's also basis for a lawsuit. At $12,000, a lawyer wouldn't be that much
Chaos Corner except they also offer insurance. So they will just say get Tesla Insurance.
I was quite looking forward to getting a Tesla model Y but this video has shown the reality! disabling DC fast charging not on their network, is completely unacceptable. I will buy something else.
@@chaos.corner straight up! Shady as fuck
This is a right to repair issue that really needs to be on the forefront.
It's a salvage title vehicle on public charging stations. Nothing to do with right to repair.
Ian Kelly it’s a bull shit attempt to keep people from fixing a salvage Telsa. Telsa will be bankrupt soon anyways
Yeah that is why I am hesitant to switch to electric lol At least I can repair my combustion car without getting cuck by the manufacturer anytime over the air.
Ian Kelly salvage title nothing to do with Tesla. The vehicle is not faulty.
Join Louis Rossmann
Rich your Tesla rides around on the back of a tow truck as much as my Range Rover
I thought the Range Rover was a part of that truck. It's not?
Maybe, but that was just a staged scenario
True lmao
And that's saying something! LMFAO!
Least you can easily get parts for a Range Rover.
no way I'm buying a car like that, the manufacturer has too much (and arbitrary) control over what i can do with it
Apple
Adam84 B why not if you buy it out right or if it’s paid off
@@courtneyfink5880 usually when you buy a car, you own the car, the company owns the brand, and the ownership of the brand usually has nothing to do with the ownership of the car. With a Tesla, they keep getting involved with what you do with your car and want to control what happens with your car as their way of maintaining the standards of their brand, so Tesla owning the brand is more intrusive than if you buy another type of car with convensional gas/diesel and less tech
@@courtneyfink5880 hahahahahaha u proberly have an i phone to right they do the same shit
@@watchmenoobing9815 heres a hint. Google does the same thing we are all fucked.
Rich, you will always be remembered as the FIRST to rebuild a flooded Tesla. They can't take that away from you.
Actually, a Tesla is IP, so Tesla owns the car NOT YOU.
Tesla is well wethin their RIGHTS to Seize the car and take it away w/o ANY Compensation.
@@markplott4820 Any source for that outlandish claim?
@@markplott4820 your slavering Tesla fanboyism has become quite tedious.
Mark Plott • Um, what?
You can’t use the Tesla name to bring you business (not the same as putting vinyl ads on the side of your car, I mean like saying “Tesla sponsored me” or “Buy my Tesla Tires!” or something like that), because the Brand is their copyright IP, but they can’t take away a car you bought new or second hand.
What Rich is complaining about is that he can’t use Tesla services... I mean, I can understand that Tesla won’t give him free supercharging, and might stop pushing software and firmware updates to his car. I’m pretty sure a driver can buy Tesla Supercharger access though, even other brands if they support the power input, so I don’t really get Rich’s entire video here complaining about something that probably hasn’t been news since he first got the car working.
@EvShrug if you had actually watched the video, Rich mentioned that blacklisted Tesla owners CANNOT buy the supercharging and that Tesla disabled the DC fast charge on his car so he can't even DC fast charge with a 3rd party supplier. Now do you understand?
What are those guys doing over there?
"They're charging sweetie we cant do that."
That one hurt my soul.
Felt like a civil rights problem
basically racism in the car world
"how much longer til we're done charging???"
"only like 3 hours sweetie"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

cracked my ears up :D
repeat at 23:28
That tickled me to
Made me LOL
You don't see other car manufactures desabling "93 octane gas" when you buy a salvage tittle.
93 ? Lol that is below our cheap stuff. We have 95 and 97 octane.
@@scottrich976 Different ways of rating octane level. 93 US octane would be equivalent to a 98 EU (97.4)

Remember when Apple said we couldn't jail break out phone's even though we owned it and the courts said FU? I hope they do that to Tesla.
Why have an Apple car when you can have the same thing but with Tesla?
It dosent matter if Tesla has control over the firmware of the vehicle they control that, they control the car nothing you can do or say about it. Time to get to work....
To be fair, you own the phone, not the software.
@@veritateseducational217 Apple lost that in court. Apple stated you were not allowed to change or modify the software on the phone you purchased. Judge ruled in favor of the owner. He can do he wishes with his phone. Remember when jailbreaking was big?

Yes, I was saying their case was valid. The user owns the hardware, not the software.
A Taycan would definitely bring a lot of viewers, seems like a reasonable project, hopefully they arent too hard to rebuild.

@@bonda_racing3579 It has nothing to do with reputation and everything to do with hobbling used vehicles and shitting all over right to repair to force people to buy new. It's disgusting honestly
@@Jmcinally94 true just like a tech company named after a fruit.
it's greed . They make profits already.
I can understand Tesla that they disable Supercharging, because it's their network, they built it and they paid for it. BUT for them to have the audacity to completly disable any DC fastcharging even from 3rd parties for a car that YOU PAID FOR. Thats a pretty big bamboozle right there.
The only reason they can afford to build and maintain their network is because of their customers. For that reason, I believe that they owe all their customers supercharging access because, it it wasn't for Tesla buyers, Tesla wouldn't exist.
The smells like a class action lawsuit. Rich bought his car legally and had it certified by the state legally. Tesla should not be allowed to block his use of a chademo adapter.
@@seraphinduvolzairo5938 They allow it for their customers. Just not for the customers of their customers.
@@tonystark6263 that wasn't DC fast charging. That was a level 2 chargpoint.
They did disable 3rd party DC fast charging
Tesla should not gave the right to disable ANY features on a car they have sold for ANY reason. The car is not owned by Tesla anymore. They CAN deactivate/reactivate features ss they see fit on cars traded in or returned to them directly. Just like everyone else. No special rules for Elon.
Shame on you Tesla, turning off features like that just turned me off from the company possibly forever.
rich: makes video about his supercharging removed
tesla: turns off his steering wheel
Turns off his brakes once the car reaches 55 mph
to be fair, it would still be moderately driveable without power steering
@@blu0065 teslas have electric steering. the whole thing is fly by wire
@@benwilson5422 the Tesla is electronic power steering as opposed to a fully steer-by-wire system
So far, the only fully steer-by-wire system is from Infiniti, and they have a steering shaft as a backup system
oop
I wonder if disabling supercharging is a valid reason to start a class-action lawsuit.
I doubt the government would allow a class action lawsuit come to light. Elon Musk owns SpaceX so our government sends up our spy satellites armed with warheads on his rockets. Hes the US governments personal space uber. They won't let that guy take a hit lol
what if tha ability to super charge is inside the car itself and if so i would use a cable that supports more electricity
@@elh3fe88 No sir, you are misinformed. The US Military DOES NOT use SpaceX for spysats. They pay the (large) extra cost of Old School Dinosaurs, from ULA.
@@YodaWhat Semantics. Either way, he's too important to the US government for them to allow any harm or misfortune to befall him.
most probably especially if you paid money for it. One can also point to musk saying that "supercharging will be free and available forever".
TESLA turned your car into, as far as charging goes, a golf cart.
😂🤣
Is your profile pic the startpage anonymous search icon
A very expensive golf cart.
Golf cart, EV... same.
Well, actually with a dual AC charger it still would allow 19,2 kW AC charging, so top up the 80 kWh battery up in about 4 hours. That's not too bad. Just find yourself an *80A* Level 2 charger instead of the 30A charger that Rich used.
This one video has made me do a complete 180-degree turn on my respect for Tesla. What they are doing to Rich is not legal at all.
No kiding. I used to love Tesla but this hurt to fucking find out
AGREE!
I agree it's trash what they are doing. One point though, it is very legal for them to do this, and that's the problem.
alanw1994 - I think we both agree it’s wrong but I’m not so sure it’s illegal
me too. i had no idea they were doing something like this
Dont they realize that this is such bad PR for Tesla. Love you Rich!!
That's a good point. Rich did not sign all the legal contracts you have to when you buy a new car.
I've "deactivated" my plans to buy a cybertruck. Great video thanks for posting!
The GMC Hummer EV completely outclasses the Cybertruck
@@jtmotenz never
I don’t blame you! Why would you want a car that could be turned off by the flip of a switch.
even I not buying Tesla from now
Same. Too bad. Cool vehicles. Don't want to be beholden to Elon for fueling up after watching this.
Don't feel you have to stick with Tesla for your subs. Your videos are great and you'll keep us whatever you do. This is not a Tesla fanboys channel.
You still can make tons of EV related Videos, conversions, contraptions (atv, scooters) and others makers as well.
Why not a EV Lamborghini?
Rich - I don't watch you for the Tesla content, I watch you for you - you're a very funny dude! Keep on keepin' on!
dipsyfriday agree, his best work are the trolling cybertruck vid.
Does Rich (rip Car Guru) really think more than half of his subscribers really care about him fixing up a Tesla with a butter knife? You can tell by the Joe Roagan podcast episode he’s a truly fascinating person as is.
Sounds like an argument for you to join Louis Rossmann's Right to Repair fight
"Right to repair" is not the same as a right to make the original maker extend a new car service to a subsequent purchaser who has no contractual relationship with the maker. I'm guessing that a person who bought a Tesla new, had a not-totalled accident, repaired the car himself, took the car to Tesla and got it certified, would have the supercharge service as originally contracted.
@@psdaengr911 if you buy a broken Apple product, and fix it yourself, would you not expect to get OS updates?
When you buy a car, you dont have a contract with the OEM. Just the bank. I'm not sure how the original owner vs second hand owner argument applies. If its fixed, its fixed. Why does "by whom" matter?
@@psdaengr911 can i have some of what your smoking?
@@psdaengr911 Only the free supercharging is a contract between Tesla and the owner.
General dc fast charging is a substantial part of the product that was sold to the initial customer. (thereby transferring ownership)
Disabling it is like Porsche removing the motor from your 911 without your consent, because you got a new paint-job and they don't approve of the colour.
the reason Tesla does not fallow the same rules as other auto makers when it comes to repair. is the laws are written that anyone have access to the same tools and parts as the dealer but Tesla does not have dealers so they effectively bypassed the laws
imagine not being able to fill up your car just because you've changed the air filter by yourself
Well Rich, you got your point across, my wife who has been so excited to get into a Tesla, is no longer interested in a car or company that does this. Thanks for doing your part.✌️
It seems to me that all those owners who get cut off, especially after having been inspected by Tesla, might have a cause for a class action.
that sounds disgusting to me, sounds like if you buy tesla you loose no matter what you do, im sure if you dont keep up with their "requirements" they start disabling features of your car, ifyou do go along with them, they disable features of your car, oh dont you love the IOT, never in the past was this even possible, there's likely no law surrounding it, its even hard to elaborate on, but they know you dont know shit about programming and such, and take the utmost full advantage of people's lack of knowledge which to me is absolutely despicable, instead of speading knowledge and making the world a better place, people are more inclined to not share because people are selfish, fk i hope the apocalypse comes soon
Like owning a cell phone that you have to plug in to use. Useless vehicles I'm sorry. They need a solar panel roof, trunk lid, and hood. But they want to control you and charge you for electricity. Also should have a generator like Fisker karma did. The feeling of being stranded without any option besides getting towed to a charge station and waiting hours. Just to be able to go a few miles
You need a salvage Porsche
No cause considering it’s in their own policy that it’s not supported
@@PhunkBustATesla as "Silicon Valley" pulling a social experiment? Speed limit enforcement? Being kidnapped by your own car... Fml. Super easy political assassinations... Fml. Meh. Somehow market forces will do what they want... It's a shame though, to have made the critical mistake of cozying up to corporate America and not the engineers. Something in my pineal gland tells me that's what's going on.
The fact that THEY DISABLED THIRD PARTY DC FAST CHARGING is too far
and this is why i still drive a gas truck.
not really the fast charge system is basically enable by the car and if your car is deemed "unsuitable" tesla disables THEIR fast charge software. yes you own the car but dont own the software behind it (i completely disagree with this scummy business practice).
@@shaneebahera8566 exactly its like saying here we will sell you this car but wait little did you know its actually only half of a car because we dont think this car is good to be used at its full capacity so were going to handicap it after you buy it, it wont already be disabled and notify you that it is before you get it, you can just find out later and then get hindered in your everyday life because you cant afford to buy new from us.
Did they realy disabled third party dc fast charging?
Tesla is basically Apple 😂
thank you so much for bringing this consumer violations for everyone to see... when I buy a car I expect 100% percent ownership not 90%. new or used... you keep making videos like this. every week... bless your good work
Unfortunately this is the right to their charging network. He still owns his car in every possible way.
Man I’d be pissed off. I just bought my P90D after watching your videos, but now I’m questioning the ethics behind offering a free service, then changing the terms as they see fit. Shameful.
You know how people like to say that Tesla is really a software company? Have you ever read the terms of service in a software license?
it wouldn't really affect you unless you planning on modding the car which then is fair for them to disable the supercharger for safety
@@mr.mysteriousyt6118 No, not really. It really isn't fair. You could easily say the same thing about gasoline vehicles. "Oh we can't trust you modified your vehicle safely. It uses GASOLINE. That's EXPLOSIVE". People can kill themselves if they screw something up on their cars, and that's been true for... More than 100 years.
Yet only Tesla is trying to control you. Never before has any company done that. Ever. And it's not like the reasons are hard to figure out. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just hold a gun against people's heads and FORCE them to buy new? Well apparently Tesla actually asked that question. And came up with the next best idea.
"I Am Altering the Deal, Pray I Don’t Alter It Any Further."
Good old Vader school of business. I could have basically accepted all the other stuff, but TAKING the money and THEN disabling it again is just shitty. If Tesla actually cared about the environment or any of that, they would actually offer rebuild inspections, as reuse is WAY better than recycle for the environment.
You've made a rat rod, rebuilt Tesla's, mini bike, working on a Quad and now it's time to cannibalize that car for an electric boat drive! Cause we ain't flyin' on no electric plane.
Good point. He has everything to convert a gas car to electric
especially a plane put together using a range of knives from the wife's kitchen drawer...

This makes me want a Tesla less. I hate when companies retroactively disable things etc. I am purchasing this car, not renting it. I shouldn't have to worry about them changing after the fact.
me too. how will the resale value be held if they can turn off features that were purchased?
Yeah it honestly seems like it should be illegal. Like what's stopping them from pulling an Apple and bricking the older models once the new ones come out?
@@the1anonymouse Yup or deciding your 80% battery doesn't qualify. It always starts off with the small things and then escalates to the point of no return. iPhone is the scary example. (Imagine slowing down your old Tesla on purpose for example)
@Comeonuseyourbrain the boot tastes good tonight gang
@@TheSLSAMG dipshit, the supercharger is THEIR network, so they make the rules...
Who really owns the car then if they can take away features after you've had them.
@@enduman I suppose it depends on how they prevent supercharging. If the charger checks to see if the cars ID is blacklisted on a remote server it's perfectly legal for Tesla to refuse access to its service on any particular car, It would be the same as a petrol station refusing to turn on a pump to someone if they felt the container they wanted to use wasn't safe. But if Tesla update software on YOUR car to deactivate supercharging it would be in a bit of a gray area.
Tesla probably have it written into their terms and agreements that they have the right to change whatever they want to the cars software, but I'd assume that this agreement would only be valid if the person who signed it still owned the car.
Tesla & Musk are just showing the public how much they suck !!!
@@Reman1975 it's written into the car because he also can't use any DC Fastcharge!
Tesla prevent his vehicle from fastcharging altogether, including using Electrify America chargers. That is shady bullshit
@@Reman1975 Well, would it be legal to deny service based on check in some remote database if skin color is accepted :) ?
Because they dont want failures from free lance “mechanics” making the news under the name Tesla
Sounds like another class action lawsuit is in order, like the one Farmers have against Deere, Caterpillar and other heavy equipment manufacturers for the right to repair......Tesla better watch out
Yeah but john deere are happy for the 15l float to tow the machine in to town which could be many thousands let alone to get the machine on the float.
An regarding the environment what would you prefer less emissions or food?
I know which im prioritizing.
JS13 they will get sued. You have no right to control a product you no longer own. You need to charge this vehicle and can not make the car not work because they did not follow your rules. This is very illegal.
One angle to pursue is the environmental cost of not being able to re-use used Teslas. Destroying the 2nd hand value. If they want to offer a safety test for a low price that's fair.
Vablo has nothing to do with emissions, their software is locked so even replacing a wheel bearing requires a software update from John Deere. Everything is electronically monitored
Not necessarily tesla is just like apple very much a dangerous level of control held over the product well after the fact.
Hey, maybe charging standards should be, like, standard????
tesla deactivating superchargers for your car should be illegal
Tesla owns the charging stations, so its their right to say who can use it.
@@quax8923 the contract probably has the ability to remove users from it for this very reason. And thus not violating it.

Awol991 What other concerns are there? He offered to pay for the service and his friend even payed 12k and the service didn’t help because of policy change. So why wouldn’t they take more money? Or continue taking money?
@@taylor92493 they want you to purchase a new tesla plus pay for super charging again... double profit just like that greedy apple... every repaired tesla means less brand new tesla being sold...
They have control over the BMS (battery management system). And that BMS is always in control of charging, no matter whether DC or AC charging. Rich would need to build his own BMS (potentially with support for either CHAdeMO, CCS and whatnot) to bypass Tesla BMS, then he could enable DC charging again.

No kidding. They have become the Apple of cars. Cool product, but hindered by how locked down it is...
RingingResonance - How “locked down”are iPhones? Nobody complains about that. If you don’t like iPhone get a Samsung. No problem. Tesla probably doesn’t want salvage cars supercharging or DC fast charging because there’s more of a risk they’ll explode and burn and make the company look bad. Tesla should at least allow the people to buy a brand new battery and regain supercharging ability.

@@brandonvansel3716 you make a great point
So the cars software and Link to Tesla determines if the car can supercharge? At least through the cars software? Obviously directly connection to the batteries would solve this?
Hopefully
Why would anyone buy a Tesla and sit for hours to charge, i will stick with gas
you dont get it
Lol it ain’t no hours to charge, your at home connector can do 50+ miles an hour. While your not doing anything. Essentially you wake up with a full tank of gas every single morning. When you need to charge on the road the new super chargers are supposed to do 1000 miles in one hour. A standard model 3 battery is 250miles. Thus taking 15 mins for a full charge. The average person spends around 10 mins at a gas station filling up a normal car. Yet you save a lot more money almost 1/3 the gas price. Edit: model 3 is the only one that has to pay for supercharging.
Economically better on many fronts. Also $8.00 to charge mine is amazing
Because it’s really hard saying fuck you to the oil industry if you depend on them every day. And Tesla isn’t the only electrical option out there that is functional.
Well ur not supposed to be dumb and let your car drop so low to the point that u would have to wait to charge for hours
"Shoutout to my daughter, she doesn't really have a boyfriend" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Are you sure? 😂😂😂
She do
Killed me as well XDDDD
Wait, I thought Elon / Tesla's whole mission statement/purpose is to accelerate the global transition to renewable energy; they've just gone totally against their ethos in such a petty way, forcing some individuals to consider gas again
Not at all, this is a safety concern (according to Tesla).
Elon's mission statement his to hit the numbers needed for his megabonus. Can't do that with 'free' supercharging because that costs Tesla. Rich made a great point with his visit to Gus. If someone brings their EV over, would you give them 'free gas'? A fun project for Rich could be making a DC charging trailer he can tow. Run a genset off wood ethanol or bioidiesel, and it's still be renewable energy :)

Between this and not being able to repair your own vehicle, I will stay far away from Tesla.
why ? A Certified mechanic can keep a TESLA running for decades.
and a Brand NEW Tesla longer.
and TESLA makes the BEST Vehicles PERIOD, from Day ONE.

Repairing your OWN vehicle is no so Important IF you car does NOT need Major Maintinance in over 300,000 miles Driven , and ALL you Really have to do is Rotate Tires, change wipers and add Wiper Fluid.

Just saying, Right to Repair should apply to Tesla just like Apple and John Deer
Jake Rinker it does, just bypass it
there would be an uprising if GM made it so that all their used cars could only take fuel at 25% the rate of their new ones, just because they got resold as used instead of CPO.
Tesla cant garuntee these cars safety since they are rebuilt and they will discourage you from driving it
Some of it makes sense
Nicholas Rivera none of this makes sense, it’s a money grabbing scam and a poor abuse of power. That’s what the inspection for a rebuilt title is for 😂 you think you can just insure and register a car by word of mouth?
@@nicholasrivera3201 Thing is they're violating laws already in existence by not offering the ability to repair it. They are an auto manufacturer they are required to supply parts and manuals.

@@herrschaftg35 - TESLA model 3 costs $35K and worth more than a $70,000 gas car.
it will Outperform and Outlast a ICE car.

you will be Safer and more Aware, and TM3 is Really FUN to Drive, its a REAL Drivers car, its Lighter and Nimbler than the Flagship Model S.
you can even add Racing brakes, Wheels and Shocks.
@@markplott4820: An EV will most likely not "outlast" an ICE car, despite them requiring less overall maintenance. Certainly not a Tesla due to their subpar build quality. Clearly as indicated when Tesla altered their warranty conditions regarding their batteries and motors. And quit talking like Tesla's are comparable to sports cars. Sure, they can accelerate quickly which makes them a one trick pony in drag races, but that is the only thing they are good at. That V2 upgrade you are talking about certainly helps, but the majority of Tesla's on the road can't even do a session around a road course without ridiculous brake fade or having the batteries/motors overheating. Few EVs as a whole can even match the range associated with an average ICE car. So, your comment of Tesla "outperforming" ICE cars is definitely wrong.
@@herrschaftg35 - any EV even from Other manufactures, can TODAY outlast a ICEV or Hybrid. so long as the Diver does not Overcharge and Maintains the car.
TESLA are Unique because their car is TOUGHER and Better built than ANY ICEV Today.
Sandy Munroe said - "Tesla model 3 is built like a Tank and it Outperforms European sports cars".
Sandy did a Teardown of the Model 3 PRODUCTION car and he was Impressed with what he found.
the Tesla is Better built TODAY and has way Fewer Defects and Repairs than in 2018 when Model 3 Production began.
you can EVEN stack rail cars on top of the TESLA Glass Roof and it wont FAIL, M E A N W H I L E many ICEV have thin Metal Roofs that you can cut with TIN SNIPS.
Tesla are NOT a Throughbread RACE car but they can OUTPERFORM just about ANY Production ICEV.
specially after using a MAX Lowering kit, Race Brakes, Shocks & Coils and Racing Tires. Unfortunatly most Drag Strips and Raceway do not have Supercharger in the Field, but that may change.
and there IS the Possibility of Supercharging with a Tesla MEGAPACK battery that can be Delivered on a Flatbed and can charge up to 100 Tesla per day with 12 stations.
TESLA can in Fact RACE pretty well, it set RECORD Breaking LAP Times at Nuramburing (Supercharger location ) and at Laguna Secca raceway.
you can even DRIFT Drive a Tesla in the SNOW or on a Race cource, just ASK the ONLY Tesla Driver to complete PIKES PEAK . and he Plans on setting NEW Records with the Performance model Y.
TESLA model S is a Luxury car but it has the Longest Range of ANY Tesla 490 miles on a Charge, and with Additional tweeking in Battery and Software 500 miles in a Tesla is Doable , in FACT ALL of Tesla vehicles have received Updates to all Models to Improve Range and Performance.
so 500 Miles Electric vs a ICEV car.
BONUS, you can charge your car from your Garage.
Your daughter saying "is she being sassy!" Is the cutest shit evaaarrr!!!
I love that clip near the start where Elon says how supercharging will ALWAYS be free! I'm a big Elon fan, but I support the right to repair to a far greater extent (even if I would not be the one trying to repair those items in many cases.)
Yep, Elon is shooting himself in the foot there. Tesla's are getting hard to insure due to the expensive repairs. Now being compounded with no salvage value. I.e. your situation of buying 2 wrecks, making 1 good car, then having the manufacturer sabotage the car. I thought Tesla was all about the environment. Now more of their cars have to be scrapped than anybody else's.
They are not hard to insure unless you use AAA insurance. Progressive has great rates on Model 3's at least.
Only now learning elon is a fraud?
@@zerix01 They will be when the insurance companies realize they have no salvage value! Some of these salvage cars are going for over $30k. You got repaired salvage title model 3's on autotrader for over $35k, and probably some performance trims as high as $45k.
Mozzie that doesn’t really make him a fraud lol
While it's true tesla is being shitty and remotely de-featuring repaired cars. The part about them having no salvage value is far from true. The drive train and batteries are in very high demand by people re-purposing them for other uses.
Make a emulator and mirror the OS to it, do what you want and take what you want. Right to repair should be a law.
it's got to communicate to something, just feed it bullshit and it's happy.
And get sued yes

@@brewstar58 those used batteryes are gonna be yeeted into the forest after they do their job... After only 10years...
I don’t know how often a Tesla is resold but it seems to me that they would get sued more for disabling features that were purchased by the original purchaser. Could you imagine buying a used car and then have the manufacturer come and take back the leather seats, premium stereo and power windows?
america has no consumer rights 🤣
@@ausintune9014 we have more than you think. Elon is just being a shady twat.
Telsa waiting for some customer to get the balls to sue
Yeah what is stopping them from disabling any features on the car?? Its all software to begin with. Since they can remotely access your car they can do whatever they want. They can make all features of the car as part of a license agreement where the software is tied to the original owner like they do with autopilot. You can buy one used but it won't start the windows won't roll down and the lights won't turn on unless you pay a license fee. Tesla is just really really shady.
@@vector6977 no we don't. But yes Elon is being shady.

Kaspars Priede Honda e is the way!
I think this could go with “right to repair” fighted in US you can look at louis rossman channel.
No legal expert here but perhaps this is slightly different? Louis Rossman hasn't exactly won the battle against Apple, so there is no legal conclusion there. Tesla isn't preventing customers from repairing their own cars, just that they are preventing them from using the Supercharger network. I guess one could think of having the Supercharger network like a subscription - similar to how some manufacturers will give out a year of SiriusXM radio/premium connectivity features etc when you buy their car. My take on this is that Tesla is allowing all owners to have the ability to use the Supercharger network granted that the owners' vehicle hasn't been resold/transferred ownership; the car is still in the original owner's hands.
@@masterlorden3075 Removing the Tesla owned supercharging from a safety argument makes sense. Tesla is doing it because they want people to buy new cars though, why else would they of killed the recertification program other than it costing them too much? However disabling 3rd party DC fast charging or vehicles that have been recertified is a super dick move. It's kind of like those auctioned Tesla's that had self driving paid for, but then deactivated when the new owner took possession of it, essentially reselling the software to the new owner, instead of it being tied to the car which is totally insane. I couldn't imagine having a manufacturer having that much software control of the thing I rely on so much daily. I'm a power user with my PC and I hate when Windows won't even let me force update drivers, and that's with a totally non-essential piece of tech. Let alone your car. Why are people putting up with this? This is totally a right to repair issue because there's currently no precedent for this and no government regulation for consumer protection
@@masterlorden3075 its exactly the same thing...

@@anthonydantonio6649 ...and their policy on selling parts is still in my opinion overly restrictive, the wait and turn around times for repairs is way above industry standard, the reported poor customer service issues, their perpetual ownership and control of the car through the operating system, and the continued release of cars having body fit and appearance defects roughly 12 years after the first roadster car was manufactured.
Same.
@@purenupe1 I agree with you one the poor customer service point of view, but not the others. You can buy virtually any part in Teslas Catalog, their body defects were present in the early model 3s, but is basically nonexistent, or no worse than any other company. My brother had major repairs on his model 3 and got it back within 2 weeks, but that still kind of fits in with customer service, and Tesla doesn't own the car, the own the software, similar to how apple owns IOS not.

Yes, but the supercharger is nothing special, it's just a high powered charger. It's the car that has had the ability removed from.
@@davecasey4341 Jokes aside, solar powered supercharging would require a pretty absurd array of solar panels or very limited charges per day/week and a huge battery pack at home.
As far as Wikipedia data go, between 72 and 250kW of power... that might require him to rewire the neighborhood probably to not give 'em all brownouts when charging the car.
So open source car tech and patents... though scam like software licensing schemes where only the manufacture really owns the software? The "owner" only licenses the software for use and never really owns the software?

true ! If Tesla follows suit with Apple they'll change their charge cord every year and then stop making the old ones or make the screen unresponsive, etc., etc., etc..
