  • There was SO much to take in when we arrived in California-and we were honestly just so excited (and jet lagged) ! I've since spent 30 hours editing this video and tried to include only the most interesting parts of our trip, and of course, more videos to come soon !
    Hope you enjoy ! Can't wait to share all the Tesla Takeover footage with you.

    I agree about Americans being more polite on the roads compared to Australia. Most people here don't believe it because we have less crime and murica is all about guns guns guns, but Australians in comparison have bad road manners. I'm always tailgated even at speed, and in Canberra no one lets you in when you indicate, they just speed up. Thank you for confirming this in public!!!

    Just a tip for the next time you come to the US. Try Turo instead of Hertz. It's cheaper, the cars are in excellent condition, and the owner shares the car with you over the app so you can use all the features. You can also rent a Model S or Model X, even the Plaid if you wish. Some of them even come with free supercharging.

    • @RyanCowan

    Great video as usual Ryan. One thing I will mention though is that modern planes are insanely efficient. Sucks that they can't be fully on renewable sources of energy, but the A380 for example has lower fuel consumption per passenger than a modern HYBRID car like a Camry, it's actually insane in a way. People who drive ICE cars (not even talking about SUVs here!) should be the ones feeling guilty haha

    • @RyanCowan
      @RyanCowan  9 місяців тому

      Yeah you're not wrong, A380 is very efficient per passenger ! Such an impressive plane, but still a frightening amount of emissions from SYD - LAX. However I agree, I feel good about the fact that we drive an EV for the rest of the time ☺

    Great video. Good observation about car rental Tesla isn’t same experience as your own Tesla. A few months ago we had take Model 3 in for rattles. They gave us a Hertz Model 3. Really missed cell phone app interface. In addition no connectivity which really impacted entertainment options. Positive was getting experience of driving Model 3 RWD. It doesn’t have acceleration of the AWD but handles really well.
    Look forward to more of your USA trip videos!

    Greetings from GA, USA. New Sub here. The abuse of Hertz Tesla's are bad overall as I took home a Model 3 SR+. I had the choices of a Polstar 2, Bolt EUV, or M3SR+ but Ultimately took home the M3 since we already own a MY so it's less of a learning for my wife. 1st thing I did with the M3 was I changed the settings and details the exterior (foam wash, Quick Butter Wet wax,deep clean the tires/RainX windows) and Fabreezzzz the interior. 😊
