I’m impressed to see a conservative Patriotic American so behind Tesla and the great work they are doing for our country. As a Tesla owner I’ve seen most resistance to them from his demographic. Thanks for the video
I am also a conservative Patriotic American and I believe in Tesla's mission and I want them to succeed. I am a non-owner currently, but I hope to change that in near future.
@@lauraholmes9353 Truck owners can be some of the worst anti-Tesla people out there, even going as far as vandalizing Tesla vehicles and ICEing superchargers. I wonder how many of these people are fully informed on Tesla before they decided to hate it and went around damaging other people's property.
@@Noak2472 That is where the hate comes from though. Conservative America hates liberals so much that they instinctively hate anything liberals like. Anything to make "snowflakes cry". We need so badly to move past the animosity and remember we're all countrymen. I'm a patriot though and through, and I think buying Tesla is patriotic.
exactly so start targeting American companies who dont keep jobs in the US as Apple, start viewing them as unpatriotic, we worry about immigration because of "lost jobs" yet we don't worry about the Billions of $$$ going to China by American companies sending jobs there.
@SpaceCowboy121 The high price of Apple products has little to do with production costs, and everything to do with greed and research into other products. All aspects of production generally fall under 50% for their products. After everyone involved is paid they stuff more then half of what you give them into the pockets of investors and upper management. But at the end of the day you cant blame them, if people are dumb enough to over pay for a product that is always 2-3years behind the competition then the only ones at fault are those that purchase their products. I think there is a says that goes "it is immoral to let a sucker keep his money", I would say it applies here.
@@NPCVenture That may be so but Tesla is loosing money, so where do you find the greed? And even if there were greed, the amount you get, including the free upgrades in my mind make this Model 3 comparable with a luxury car. Luxury cars are well over $35,000.
I totally agree. I see blind hate from both political parties and it's really dissapointing. I can't wait for some solid electric 4x4s to become mainstream.
Tesla and SpaceX are AMERICAN innovation at its best. The US government should be bending backwards to support these companies. These are areas of huge disruption and future growth. Tesla makes (bar none) the BEST EVs in the world. Ultimately, every red-blooded American should be puffing out their chest when they talk about these two companies which stand at the forefront of nascent industries with potential for huge growth!
The vast majority Americans are "patriotic Americans" it's just that the loud simple minded one's think they have a monopoly on the concept and a very limited notion of what it means and narrow perspective, they probably haven't been anywhere else much.
Tesla is way more American than GM, Ford or FCA Gm keeps building there junk overseas and closing factories in the Us very little is now built in the Us. This goes for Ford and FCA to.
Daniel Roig plus they are just NOW starting to build factories in China, so the Chinese can buy them locally there. American made are still made in America.... We shouldn’t ship so much across the globe it’s a waste of gas, time and ultimately your money.
@Daniel Roig Daniel, A question. When the Chinese factory (funded by loans in China) is producing vehicles, where will the money made go? It will be used to reinvest in the AMERICAN side of the company developing and building the Semi, model Y, etc! Are you saying that Chinese money, repatriated by an American company, used to create American jobs (NOT just at Tesla!) and boost the American economy, is a bad thing?
I've watched hundreds of videos about Teslas, before I bought my Model 3 and still now that I've had it for about a month. This is by far, the best and most complete video about Tesla I've seen. So informative and easy to understand. Great job and thank you
Great video. Although every point you make should have already been obvious, it really needs to be spelled out for some people. You're a true patriot. And one who sees the truth with clarity.
Hallelujah brother. The German automakers are scared to death of Tesla. When’s the last time you heard of Mercedes or BMW being scared of an American car company? This car puts American automobiles back on top, and I can’t understand the hate.
@Daniel Roig - Tesla is already the Winner, with its own Battery Factory, and V3 Supercharger Stations as well as the Destination Charger network as well, when you stay overnight at Lodging or a B&B. TESLA provides those charger for FREE or at low cost to the HOTEL. plus My AP3 actually works and gives me a Stress Free Travel, I can then Really open up the TESLA and Drive Manually on Country Roads .
@Daniel Roig - it takes REAL money to make Money. Tesla has paid off its Debts Early on. and is Earning money but Spending money on R&D, Production, and AP3 & FSF hardware & Software, TESLA has the Worlds most Advanced NEURAL net Computers in a consumer Device. Legacy car companies DO NOT Know how to build an Compelling Electric car, it might have the Prowess to build CAR Bodies but they still Don't make their own Drivetrain & Battery as TESLA does. HECK, Legacy Auto cant even build Compelling ICE cars. Dealerships will go the way of the Dinosaur as will GAS Stations. the Dealership model is NO LONGER needed and is NOT Sustainable. all Customer has to do is Order Online the pick up at Service Center when delivered in just 1 - 2 Months. they just Sign then Drive. TESLA cars are built like Tanks - Sandy Monroe. they also Handle like a Dream, far better than a BMW 3 Series car or a MBZ C-class. the AP3 hardware is the most Advanced, Today all TESLA cars made can Operate as Fully Automonous Vehicles, it just needs Regulatory Approval. also, ALL Tesla cars can be made BETTER with just an Over the Air update, in FACT my Tesla now can Drive 5% faster and it can Charge at over 1000 mph, and Travel Longer before the battery gives out. this all Happened while Owning my Tesla. NO OTHER Car company as the Ability to make a BETTER car when you Bought it , adding to its Resale Value.
As a Brit I can see why you still need all those guns LOL. Great video and point well made. Americans spreading FUD to kill a company that is actually good for them...talk about unpatriotic and unbelievably stupid. I've had a Tesla for 4 years now, zero issues. It is the most innovative product you can buy today, and I am excited to be getting a new one in July. Existing Tesla owners; just for laughs you should test drive any comparably priced 2019 car in case you haven't been in a "normal" car for a while - and I challenge you not to be annoyed by the sluggish wheezy performance, the weird grumbling and mooing sounds they make, that awful feeling of being out of control as soon as you lift off the throttle, the tech gimmicks that cannot mask the lack of something mind blowing like FSD, and the button-and-gauge nightmare that you will never figure for the entire lifetime of the car...
@Nice Guy Eddie You know what Tesla does with all the money that comes in from car sales? They inviest further into the technology to push it further. They take a HUGE gamble but manage to stay afloat. We should all thank TESLA for pioneering EV technology and making such a sacrifice for the planet as a whole. Even if they never make a good profit the have A LOT more to show for than money.
@Nice Guy Eddie The profit is sacrificed for turning the society around in some way. That has always been Elon´s plan. But in the end, he is hoping to get on the plus side. and he should if he doesnt want Tesla to be bought up by someone else when they go bankrupt.
@Nice Guy Eddie Yeah, I agree. But Tesla was not founded to earn money initially. It was founded with a vision. I really believe that even if Tesla goes bust, Elon is happy with contributing to getting the ball rolling. He has proven that he can get a profit before with other companies, so we will just have to see. He is an engineer, a visionary. I guess Tesla will be bought up at a later date and the progress has to slow down to be able to earn money.
@Nice Guy Eddie Try reading this...... Twice. Then see if your perspective changes? cleantechnica.com/2019/05/31/the-media-is-telling-one-story-about-tesla-facts-tell-another/
Folks throw of on Tesla, but I saw that man's company send up a rocket. It went up, puked out a half a dozen satellites into m geosync orbit then it's booster turned around and softly landed on a rocking barge in the oceam. It was one of the most elegant things I've ever witnessed. Enjoy your new model 3. I'm jealous.
The Model S was the fastest production car of any kind for a few years. It isn’t anymore, but it is still the fastest production sedan. The 2020 Roadster is expected to hit 60mph in 1.9sec or less.
Too bad for you, the whole world is salivating for a Tesla. All crapshoot news articles aside, Tesla is yet to produce enough to even come close the demand - and they've grown far faster than other car companies out there! And since Tesla is getting a lot of flak from muricans, maybe China will give them a home... just saying.
Hi TnB, Like you, I'm a gun owner, politically conservative, but like the idea of an American made car that is high tech, fun to drive and inexpensive to operate. That's why I bought a Model S 70D back in 2015. It has been the best car I've ever owned. The 'environmental' benefits are just gravy for me. The performance, quiet ride and low cost of operation and maintenance plus the amazing tech are what prompted me to buy one. Love the fact that in 5 seconds, I can plug it in when I get home and every time I hit the road, the car has plenty of juice to take me to where ever I plan to go. Enjoy the ride.
@walter white sorry you 'feel' that way. The right to keep and bear arms is not limited to current or former military members, as I'm certain you know. P.s. I served in USAF 1965-1969. Best regards.
I'm utterly blown away! This is the best video I've ever seen on the Model 3, but more importantly on Tesla as a whole. Amazing work and insightful indictment of those who wear the conservative mantle but are only really supporting the corporate status quo. Do a video on how SpaceX is disrupting the largess of the trough-feeding government aerospace contractors as well please! I've owned my Model 3 for 11 months and you nailed it. For me, as a sports car guy the superb handling dynamics of the car are a huge plus as well!
@@bmstyleeby subsidy do you mean taxes? I mean isn't the problem with American industry that it's been taxed away to China and other countries? Also Trump got rid of a lot of the subsidies that Tesla and other electric companies had. Tesla has sold the most cars it ever has in its history as a company during his administration.
@@bmstylee The International Monetary Fund and World Bank produce an annual report that details global energy subsidies across all sectors. Guess what? In the USA, the FOSSIL FUEL industry enjoys subsidies and kick-backs of $880 BILLION. Go check out the report. It's very detailed and in parts very complex, so a person like you may have a little difficulty in understanding it, but give it a go.
A good thing to mention about Tesla is them giving the finger to the conventional car dealership racket. Tesla sells directly to customers: The non-capitalist politicans and company owners that try to force Tesla to use third party dealers (For all sales) when that kind of system does not help the consumer one bit. Yes you can buy a car from a dealership: But why must there be a law saying that you can not buy directly from the manufacturer?
@@TWANGnBANG It is also comical to listen to the car dealership guys. "It is safer.." How is it safer to buy from a dealership? Or "It serves Xs well and people prefer dealerships." If the people prefer dealerships, why do you have to have a law that outlaws going outside the dealership structure. This is really just crony capitalism: The system does nothing for consumers, and just forces companies to use middle men for no good reason. I will trust a Tesla salesman a lot more then some random car dealership guy.
Really great video my friend! Very well researched, produced, and presented. The more people that understand why this car is so important for America the better! Tell all your friends!
This is the best Tesla video I've seen. Not that I give two hoots about American patriotism, but all the info comes across in a way that apeals to normal people, not fanboys. Well done. Look forward to your tech channel.
Elon dis say small parts like USB cables come from overseas but he could easily source them locally if need be for now it's cheaper to buy them in bulk with his current suppliers
@@AndrewJamison79 Actually, many parts come from large established suppliers, many from Europe. Parts like brakes and ABS, suspension, steering, hinges, connectors ... s3-prod.autonews.com/s3fs-public/CA10076284.PDF
Why doesn’t this video have 10m views?! Im glad a real conservative is trying to educate the chanting class who goes against their own self interest over and over again. I hope some of them wake up and see reality before they ruin our country any further.
I am 40 years old and have for 20 years of my life worked in the renewable energy field. I have seen solar go from 120 bucks a watt to less than 50 cents. My wife and I live on a SMALL income. We do all we can to keep are bills low. Living on lass than $750 bucks a month we must keep are hands on all that we can. This is part of why I have solar in my home and add as I can. It helps too that we live on the cost in SC with big storms that like to kill are power for weeks at the time. Btw my home is using Chevy Volt batts that where in a crashed car. One day it's my goal to have a Tesla that I can charge from my home's off-grid solar. I am a country boy who loves his guns lives on a farm hunts and fish. Have had a CPW from the age of 22 and carry all the time. So not the green dude but know that the Lord tells us to take care of what he gives us. This is way I do what I can. Thanks for sharing with us. I feel your 100% right. God Bless Brother..
Thank you so much for making this video! I have never understood how people were not wanting to support a fully American car company, one that has created over 40K American jobs and helping us (The US) stay ahead in tech.
I'm going to find a way to send this remarkable video to Elon through a mutual friend. Sandy Munro is also someone who would also appreciate your work here and help to spread this message. He's an old line Detroit car executive who runs a reverse engineering shop. After he drove a Model 3 and broke down the drivetrain he began to refer to Elon as an American hero. Thank you for setting the record straight for many Americans who would otherwise just hear the BS media bias against Tesla. As you say it's actually a matter of national security. This needs to be shared.
grant flavel how is President Trump the idiot here?? That makes no sense especially since he believes in Tesla and has a relationship with Elon. Enough with the tds and keep politics out of this.
Thank you for this articulate PSA. So many people are still in the dark and I applaud you for using this venue to spread a balanced overview on an American company trying to help America and the world, yet have the largest targets on their backs from domestic enemies. God bless you.
One of the best videos ever made on Tesla, thank you for this. I'm Canadian, not American, but I'm a conservative gun owner and hunter and I agree with everything you said.
I am also baffled by people hating Tesla for no apparent reason. Why defend one of the big 3 who would prefer to build their cars in Mexico?! I am proud that a company (an American company) is at the top of its game.
These are the only new American cars I see being promoted in Europe too. I went to a show recently and the locals (right in the centre of car-loving Bavaria) were all oogling the Tesla and taking photos of it. This car is promoting US auto-manufacturing abroad, in saturated markets, like no other.
I saw the same thing at the most recent LA CAR SHOW, here in car-loving Los Angeles, ca. Tesla got the spot RIGHT at the entrance (Smart move) and it was SO CROWDED the fire department should have shut down the whole show. People were 7 rows deep. It was absurd. The rest of the show was a disappointment. Except for the RIVIAN thing. That looked cool, but that was just a display. Have never seen a RIVIAN driving around. But we've all seen TESLAs. And that Model 3 was the most loved car in Los Angeles.
I can't believe so much of the American media is so anti Tesla - they should be celebrating a world leading innovative car company. As a car enthusiast in England a Tesla is the first American car I've ever wanted to own. My next car will be electric. Tesla is leading the world with it's EV technology.
Anti-Tesla??? What media do you watch?? Environmentalists and the Left, among others, have been supporting electric cars, like Teslas, for a while now.
@@blzbud2249 If you Google "tesla stock price" and look at the "Top stories" & "Videos" below the share price then you will see many FUD (Fear Uncertainty & Doubt) stories about Tesla from the likes of eg., Business Insider, Markets Insider, CNBC etc Nine out of ten of these stories seem to be anti Tesla.

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of Tesla and the USA. I am sad to see how Tesla is constantly under fire from the news media, state governments, and other American corporations. I just bought $10k in Tesla stock and if it continues down, I will buy more. I can't think of another company I would rather support. Jess
@@ShailabhR. I doubled down on my Tesla stock with another 50 shares. I see it as investing in the type of world I hope my grandkids will inherit. Jess
That's amazing. I really appreciate. Let's keep spreading the word. Let's help Tesla grow. Not only Americans, the entire world should follow the great work that Tesla is doing. Thanks to Tesla that the whole world is headed to maximize the renewable energy generation. Thank you!
Americans should be proud of Tesla, from a Swede with his first American car (Tesla model 3). Never thought I would buy anything other than a Swedish or German car, had an Audi before, but Tesla just beats everything else out there.
Avid Tesla follower, shareholder and i own a Model S and this is the best video review of the Tesla Model 3 I have seen to date. I really appreciate the emphasis on American patriotism as well, and agree 100% that we need to support such companies that produce products in America, for Americans. This one is a no brainer since it's the best automobile out there, no compromises!
It's true. Tesla is more American than Chrysler GM, and Ford, which make a lot of their parts overseas. In fact, Chrysler and Ford are managed by people overseas, with interests in other countries. Tesla is 100% designed and made in America. It is more American than the F-150. Now, I am not saying that cars from other countries are bad. I love cars from other countries. I am just saying that Tesla is the most American car there is. Period.
Very nice car plan on buying one. I been a gm person and from a gm family my life. But gm keeps disappointing me and I feel the Tesla is a way better choice and way cheaper.
Am I the only one who thinks that pride is something you feel when you accomplish something. Not when someone who happens to be in the same geographic region as you accomplishes something🤔
@@kristoffersparegodt420 That is a deep question about the human concept of identity. You could ask the same question regarding sports fandom, religion or family.

@@kristoffersparegodt420 your individual success is to a large part facilitated by the people group that enables you without other people you would have no chance of success, no matter how talented just ask africa why the system is so important
I did not expect the best comprehensive car review I’ve ever seen in my entire life to come from a firearms channel. This video needs way more exposure. WELL DONE, and THANK YOU for your incredible insight in the video!
No they should not. Elon Musk made Telsa. He holds South African, Canadian, and U.S. citizenship. He is a world citizen with his eyes on the future. Unlike your patriots, better described as xenofobic to say the least.
Finally someone who gets the American story behind Tesla. Great video! Thank you for pointing out the very missed "American Made" story of the Tesla brand.
Thank you for making this video. My family-owned metal finishing business and our 45 employees have greatly benefited from work we do for the Tesla factories in California and Nevada-real jobs for real Americans! It is so frustrating to see people with special interests rooted in 20th century technology spreading fake news about this great car company that has the potential to lift up all American car companies in the world market. We believe in Tesla‘s mission, now own a Model 3 ourselves which is the best car we have ever driven, and hope people see through the smear tactics and buy Tesla vehicles and buy and hold Tesla stock.
I'm holding my Tesla stock and trust me I'm suffering for it.. lost enough to almost buy a model 3.. sad because I wish I owned a model 3... But I'm not selling I will suffer along with this Great American company..
I'm not even American, I'm British, I am holding centuries of pent up resentment and bitterness that you not only won your independence but went on to succeed my country as the most powerful in the world - and even I feel patriotic about America asa Tesla shareholder. Also thank you to all the people who have been pushing the price down lately, much appreciated :)
Electric cars are nice and comfortable to drive. *This car is changing the market* and forces other companies to innovate faster. The Tesla model 3 is the very nice car for the price, because of the Auto Pilot. It's like a smart car, and the other electric cars without the autopilot are like dial-up phones. The auto pilot is providing collision safety by at least 10X, when the person is tired or distracted, or sick, or sneezing.
Best thing? I don't want to be rude, but that's a bit sensational, don't you think? I'm just saying, when I die I don't want someone to say during my eulogy, "He was a great man, but his crowning achievement was his Tesla."
Love this video! I too am one of the seemingly small intersection of gun enthusiasts and Tesla owners. I too don't understand the hate toward this innovative American company. So happy to see you make this video!
I’ve been trying to make the same argument for renewables for years. It seems like there are a lot of people that would rather oppose “the left” environmentalists vs make change for our own security. If we can get to a point that we don’t need foreign oil, we will be more independent while OPEC and others will not get our money. We will likely not eliminate the need for oil for many years, but we can get to the point where domestic production can meet the demand. Plus we get to breathe cleaner air and have less noise pollution.
I'm from Europe and I'm dumbfounded seeing Tesla being slurred and underrated in their own country. I drive a Model 3 now after having driven Audi for the last 17 years and I'm not going back. The car is simply amazing and one of the best things the US produces. You should cherish that.
Great video that makes me think about Tesla in a different light. Very cool car. Most people see Tesla as a "Lefty" statement and videos like this one from a gun loving patriot does help.
I live in a politically red neighborhood in GA. There are 4 Teslas in my neighborhood now. One of them is me. People are overthinking this too much. It's just a car and a really good one. One where you can fill up in your garage at half the price of gas and one that I haven't done any regular maintenance on for 19,000 miles other than pouring in some washer fluid and rotating the tires. And it's quick as hell and is really nimble on back roads.
@@duketlam9206 Depends what you compare it to. If you compare to a performance car like an M3 it's closer to 1/5 or 1/6 depending on what you pay in your area for gas and electric.
@@domg7359 true. I been charging at home and have been watching my electricity consumption. Bottom line for me is about 1/3 the price in comparison to gasoline. But this all depends on your electricity cost per kilowatt/hr vs gas cost in your area.
As a young lad (19 years of age) that's always loved technology and computers, I drool everytime I see a Tesla and one of my goals for the future is to save for one!
Thank you so much bro, I'm 27 from Texas, I've been saying this for yrs, that it's an American company with innovative tech, creating local jobs while others are outsourcing, if we don't support and push this technology we're basically handing it to other countries to adopt it and we'll "be left in the dust". Totally glad a gun toting Patriotic american supports this kind of innovative home grown tech and isn't scared of it putting his grandpas gas guzzlers out to pasture.
loud sounds are important to some people but to the generation that is coming of age right now, a slow machine that makes a lot of noise is not very cool. Harleys make a ton of noise but their target demographic is shrinking along with their sales. Hopefully the Livewire changes things for them.
@@APWoodworking I hope you're right that they never go away. They're classic American motorcycles but they've had five straight years of declining sales. I'm glad to see that they're taking a risk on something. ua-cam.com/video/DRy9H_6qbtM/v-deo.html
Great job on this video! You touched on every point I could imagine about Tesla. You expanded my view on Tesla, I never really considered how these developments will affect the international community. Plus, being able to control farts is pretty cool
I don't get it either. I like Tesla's and don't understand why some people equate being pro environment with being a democrat or leftie. I was a boy scout and we always believed in taking care of our lands and country. Buying something that is made and designed in the USA, and that also doesn't pollute it should be a good thing. Even if you don't believe in global warming, what's the upside to pumping extra pollution into the air? I'm not totally convinced that global warming exists but I also know I believe leaving my campsite and my planet cleaner then when I arrived. Not sure I can pull it off totally but why not try???
KMED1440 partial coal as in 30% total US electricity generation. However, most Tesla’s and other EVs are sold in ZEV states. For example, in CA, your statement is still true, at 1%. Lastly, most folks actually get solar before they get their EV. So running on partial coal is in theory true, but in reality that % is a whole lot lower than you would expect.
Unfortunately, being a good person is associated with the left. Being a good “believer” is associated with the right. Church and Patriotism-right. Helping the poor and protecting the environment-left.
@@TheThomaswastaken That's true if you follow the idea that giving people free stuff is good for them. The Right would give them jobs which is better and long-term solution but not inline with the liberal talking points cuz business/corporations are evil. I've never seen people actually helped by free stuff over time. That's a total lie...but does make low IQ people feel better and vote for lefties.
@cjhyde78 Source on this? Do you have data ? Checked it vs an ICE car? Also, does your car full of combustible gasoline have some sort of amazing tech making it unable to catch fire? Also, have you ever seen a car catch fire that has magnesium in the block?
I've been very interested in the model 3. I'm hoping to pick up a used on in a few years (the battery life has shown to not be a problem). I also love the aspect that I can make my own electricity much easier than I can make my own gas, increasing my self-sufficiency.
I've always been curious in them but your review really showed light on why to own one . They are a little out of my price range now but maybe not in the future. Would be curious what a payment on one is like . You said you save 300 a month in gas but what's the difference in payment from your old vehicles? 300 in savings in nice but if the payment is 3 times your truck payment then is that really savings ? I think for now my new Tacoma will have to do but you never know :)
Just run the figures on a loan for $35,000 less whatever your trade-in will be. The loan is the same regardless of car brand. We bought a much more expensive version of the Model 3, but it was not any more expensive than the loaded GMC pickup I was planning to get.
@@TWANGnBANG just looked up some prices and wow they are alot cheaper than I thought . You can get a nice one for 45-55k . Your right about the same as a pickup these days
I'm with you 100% brother. Conservative here, fully support 2nd amendment, prepper, love Jeeps etc and I'm a full out Tesla advocate. It's an American made best EV world wide. Americans should be proud. Great video I hope it enlightens the community
it is also the independence electric vehicles bring if the world goes to shit i can live happily with solar energy and electric vehicles, but producing my own gasolene will be hard and I can do that in a lodge somewhere remote too as long as I am in a 300mile radius of the next electricity source
I loved this video. But it's odd to me that the USA, the country that landed on the moon, needs people like you to convince them that it's OK to be proud of the Tesla. This is the sort of thing we used to see in American sci-fi a few decades ago. It's bloody awesome. We LOVE the Tesla here in Norway. The government here even gives tax incentives to buy them, because even they think it's a good idea for us to buy American.
I think people take issue with were a lot of their funding comes from and where the government gets the money to hand out for those tax incentives. I work in the semiconductor industry and I travel to San Jose for work often enough and have to say most people there don't speak too highly of Tesla. (in case you didn't know there is a Tesla factory there). Most of what I hear is how when Tesla moves into your area, you are the one paying for it. I don't live there so I cant confirm this, just relaying what people have told me and you know its possible that could be more of a government problem than it is a Tesla problem. For me I think a lot of the stuff they're doing is really cool, especially in regards to their space program, and I do like to see an American company succeed and innovate. I would just like to know they did it on their own merit and profit from a sound business instead of just printing more money like our government has done for plenty of companies and it self for years. I'm one of the people who is of the mind that when Dodge and GM and the banks were all failing we should have let them fail and Die. I'm the same with Tesla, if they cant cut it as a business let them die and someone better will always come along and replace you. There's always a bigger fish as they say.
@@Splincir This is precisely it. Tesla gets tons of money due to hooking up on the environmental agenda. The only reason they get so much money is because no one is buying electric cars and other companies that made them, simply dropped it. In order to keep the electric car agenda alive, they are keeping Tesla alive synthetically with tax dollars, an advantage no other American company gets. Tesla's space endeavors also aren't really that impressive. We had the technology with NASA, Obama shut down the shuttle program which forced us to use foreign rockets such as Russia to reach the International Space Station. Tesla only has the tech because all the guys who lost their jobs in NASA got picked up by Tesla. That's not really helping America overall. Tesla aren't even made in the US aside from assembly and some parts. Taking pride in Tesla as being American is like someone taking pride in Holosun optics. Tesla cars aren't even that reliable. I've owned one and it didn't even work half the time. I do like the concept of electric cars, not for the environmental aspect, but the quiet stealth, acceleration, and concept of recharging your car, however Tesla isn't it. People also have to realize, Elon Musk never made money from his companies. His wealth is specifically from stock market speculation. That's why he always does crazy stunts, the key is to draw attention to his company (good or bad) to cause his stocks to fluctuate which allows him to generate revenue. I also agree we shouldn't have bailed out the other automobile companies. The whole point of capitalism is that if a company falls, it creates an opportunity for someone to fill the void. The only thing the government should be doing is issuing tariffs (it is afterall one of the enumerated powers) to block foreign companies from killing domestic manufacturing.
God bless you and thanks for pointing this out. We (Tesla - all American company) are the envy of the world and everyone (even the Germans) still can't catch us in the BEV space. I know they will succeed and I plan on buying another Tesla.
The reason there's so much hate for Tesla on seemingly all fronts is quite simple: money. The one thing Elon Musk does best is disrupt the status quo, and with Tesla, he's taken a sledge hammer to virtually every norm in the auto industry. Oil companies have a financial interest in seeing Tesla, and all electrics in general, fail. Traditional auto manufacturers are struggling to compete on the electric front, and so have a financial interest in seeing Tesla fail. Tesla cut out car dealerships, the middlemen, and so they all have a financial interest in seeing it fail. TSLA is one of the most shorted stocks on the market because a lot of very wealthy people stand to gain or maintain if Tesla loses. Tesla should be held up as a great success story of US innovation and manufacturing. The fact that it's constantly under fire is due almost entirely to wealthy individuals and organizations dependent on ICE vehicles that have found themselves on the wrong side of change. That, and it's just plain easier to bash Tesla instead of trying to out engineer Elon Musk.
I"d like to point out that a lot of companies import significant percentages of their parts. Teslas have the highest percentage of American parts of any domestic auto manufacturer.
13:31 - excellent point about the location of the emissions. The other thing I like to tell people about this is that as the grid gets cleaner it has a network effect by the "emissions" for all EVs also goes down
I actually also point that out in the video when I’m talking about deployment of solar. It’s just a sentence in a 21-minute video, so it’s certainly easy to miss.
Thank you for the great video and delivering all the bullet points I’ve been trying to do it myself.Tesla is the most American company and by buying the car not only you improve air quality but you making United States energy independent
Even Chinese customers investors and government are clear about this issue. If USA doesn't hurry up to embrace Tesla and push its growth , China will eventually claim that Tesla is the Chinese Brand that was originally manufactured in California.
The best explanation of Tesla and all their attributes I have ever seen. Thank You for all the information that no one thinks about when discussing electric cars in general. If Tesla made infomercials this would be at the top of the list.
“That never gets old”. You’re damn right it doesn’t get old screaming from a stop! I look forward to buying a 3. And I will not miss the oil changes and recycling the oil. Nope. Also, I love the shooting sports too. My 3 will display NRA and Gadsden Flag stickers!
Hey, with Autopilot, you don't even need to steer straight! Chrissakes, this is the country that put men on the Moon. I just don't get why they wouldn't be on board with the most advanced automotive technology.
Tesla belongs to Elon Musk. SpaceX belongs to Elon Musk. They will land on the Moon in the next 5 years, and on Mars in 10 to 15 years. The vehicles that will be driving on the Moon and Mars are going to be Tesla.
I’ve been saving on the side from investing and buying a rental property to get a Skyline GT-R (dream car) and now I’m seriously contemplating to get a Tesla Roadster instead. It’s about double the cost but to have an 8 sec. car would be worth the increase in payments 😎
When I ordered my Model 3 my reasons were entirely different (read: more selfish), but your thoughtful consideration from a completely different perspective is enlightening. Thanks for sharing!

I’m impressed to see a conservative Patriotic American so behind Tesla and the great work they are doing for our country. As a Tesla owner I’ve seen most resistance to them from his demographic. Thanks for the video
Especially truck owners. The Tesla Pick-Up Truck will blow ALL the others away.
I am also a conservative Patriotic American and I believe in Tesla's mission and I want them to succeed. I am a non-owner currently, but I hope to change that in near future.
@@lauraholmes9353 Truck owners can be some of the worst anti-Tesla people out there, even going as far as vandalizing Tesla vehicles and ICEing superchargers. I wonder how many of these people are fully informed on Tesla before they decided to hate it and went around damaging other people's property.
I’m also a conservative American and I own two Tesla’s and a BMW i3. Electric mobility is not exclusive to Liberals on the West Coast.
@@Noak2472 That is where the hate comes from though. Conservative America hates liberals so much that they instinctively hate anything liberals like. Anything to make "snowflakes cry". We need so badly to move past the animosity and remember we're all countrymen.
I'm a patriot though and through, and I think buying Tesla is patriotic.
So well said. As someone who owns a Tesla, and is obsessed with Tesla.. I've seen countless reviews. Yours if the most accurate of them all. Thanks!
Tom Schirtzinger Tesla is 🇺🇸
Thank you for pointing out what’s been obvious to many of us for a long time. Blind hate based on propaganda is just sad.
exactly so start targeting American companies who dont keep jobs in the US as Apple, start viewing them as unpatriotic, we worry about immigration because of "lost jobs" yet we don't worry about the Billions of $$$ going to China by American companies sending jobs there.
@SpaceCowboy121 The high price of Apple products has little to do with production costs, and everything to do with greed and research into other products. All aspects of production generally fall under 50% for their products. After everyone involved is paid they stuff more then half of what you give them into the pockets of investors and upper management. But at the end of the day you cant blame them, if people are dumb enough to over pay for a product that is always 2-3years behind the competition then the only ones at fault are those that purchase their products. I think there is a says that goes "it is immoral to let a sucker keep his money", I would say it applies here.
Do you own a tesla... If not thought so
@@NPCVenture That may be so but Tesla is loosing money, so where do you find the greed? And even if there were greed, the amount you get, including the free upgrades in my mind make this Model 3 comparable with a luxury car. Luxury cars are well over $35,000.
I totally agree. I see blind hate from both political parties and it's really dissapointing. I can't wait for some solid electric 4x4s to become mainstream.
Tesla and SpaceX are AMERICAN innovation at its best. The US government should be bending backwards to support these companies. These are areas of huge disruption and future growth. Tesla makes (bar none) the BEST EVs in the world. Ultimately, every red-blooded American should be puffing out their chest when they talk about these two companies which stand at the forefront of nascent industries with potential for huge growth!
Seriously- everybody should be proud of what these companies are accomplishing right here in the US.
Unfortunately all the industries Tesla is disrupting, oil, auto dealerships, legacy car manufacturers are backed by big money and hate Tesla.
I never knew Americans were the only ones with "red blood". Who knew?
The vast majority Americans are "patriotic Americans" it's just that the loud simple minded one's think they have a monopoly on the concept and a very limited notion of what it means and narrow perspective, they probably haven't been anywhere else much.
@@LightWingStudios As a green blooded Canadian, I can confirm!
Tesla is way more American than GM, Ford or FCA Gm keeps building there junk overseas and closing factories in the Us very little is now built in the Us. This goes for Ford and FCA to.
@Daniel Roig Absolutely untrue.
@Daniel Roig Tesla is the most vertically integrated car company in the world. That means they produce the most components on their own.
Daniel Roig plus they are just NOW starting to build factories in China, so the Chinese can buy them locally there. American made are still made in America.... We shouldn’t ship so much across the globe it’s a waste of gas, time and ultimately your money.
@@@lauraholmes9353 So you want American companies to stop EXPORTING? ROFLMAO!
@Daniel Roig
Daniel,
A question.
When the Chinese factory (funded by loans in China) is producing vehicles, where will the money made go?
It will be used to reinvest in the AMERICAN side of the company developing and building the Semi, model Y, etc!
Are you saying that Chinese money, repatriated by an American company, used to create American jobs (NOT just at Tesla!) and boost the American economy, is a bad thing?
I've watched hundreds of videos about Teslas, before I bought my Model 3 and still now that I've had it for about a month. This is by far, the best and most complete video about Tesla I've seen. So informative and easy to understand. Great job and thank you
How do you like your Model 3 so far?
I totally agree. I have watched hundreds of Tesla videos. This is the best overview yet. Great video!!!
Great video. Although every point you make should have already been obvious, it really needs to be spelled out for some people. You're a true patriot. And one who sees the truth with clarity.
Thanks so much!
Hallelujah brother. The German automakers are scared to death of Tesla. When’s the last time you heard of Mercedes or BMW being scared of an American car company? This car puts American automobiles back on top, and I can’t understand the hate.
Greetings from Germany 😂👍🏼 Looking forward to get a Model 3. Best Car ever! Wanna buy my old BMW e90?
@Daniel Roig - YOU wont be able to Charge your Porsche anywhere but a Dealership, they don't have a Supercharger Network like TESLA has.
@Daniel Roig - Tesla is already the Winner, with its own Battery Factory, and V3 Supercharger Stations as well as the Destination Charger network as well, when you stay overnight at Lodging or a B&B.
TESLA provides those charger for FREE or at low cost to the HOTEL. plus My AP3 actually works and gives me a Stress Free Travel, I can then Really open up the TESLA and Drive Manually on Country Roads .
@Daniel Roig - it takes REAL money to make Money. Tesla has paid off its Debts Early on. and is Earning money but Spending money on R&D, Production, and AP3 & FSF hardware & Software, TESLA has the Worlds most Advanced NEURAL net Computers in a consumer Device.
Legacy car companies DO NOT Know how to build an Compelling Electric car, it might have the Prowess to build CAR Bodies but they still Don't make their own Drivetrain & Battery as TESLA does. HECK, Legacy Auto cant even build Compelling ICE cars. Dealerships will go the way of the Dinosaur as will GAS Stations.
the Dealership model is NO LONGER needed and is NOT Sustainable.
all Customer has to do is Order Online the pick up at Service Center when delivered in just 1 - 2 Months. they just Sign then Drive. TESLA cars are built like Tanks - Sandy Monroe. they also Handle like a Dream, far better than a BMW 3 Series car or a MBZ C-class. the AP3 hardware is the most Advanced, Today all TESLA cars made can Operate as Fully Automonous Vehicles, it just needs Regulatory Approval. also, ALL Tesla cars can be made BETTER with just an Over the Air update, in FACT my Tesla now can Drive 5% faster and it can Charge at over 1000 mph, and Travel Longer before the battery gives out. this all Happened while Owning my Tesla. NO OTHER Car company as the Ability to make a BETTER car when you Bought it , adding to its Resale Value.
@Daniel Roig Porsche Taycan? Yeah right, not even close! This video is about a true American Car Company and Porsche is not one of them.
As a Brit I can see why you still need all those guns LOL. Great video and point well made. Americans spreading FUD to kill a company that is actually good for them...talk about unpatriotic and unbelievably stupid. I've had a Tesla for 4 years now, zero issues. It is the most innovative product you can buy today, and I am excited to be getting a new one in July. Existing Tesla owners; just for laughs you should test drive any comparably priced 2019 car in case you haven't been in a "normal" car for a while - and I challenge you not to be annoyed by the sluggish wheezy performance, the weird grumbling and mooing sounds they make, that awful feeling of being out of control as soon as you lift off the throttle, the tech gimmicks that cannot mask the lack of something mind blowing like FSD, and the button-and-gauge nightmare that you will never figure for the entire lifetime of the car...
@Nice Guy Eddie You know what Tesla does with all the money that comes in from car sales? They inviest further into the technology to push it further. They take a HUGE gamble but manage to stay afloat. We should all thank TESLA for pioneering EV technology and making such a sacrifice for the planet as a whole. Even if they never make a good profit the have A LOT more to show for than money.
"mooing sounds" hahaha. I own a Tesla PM3 and a Silverado with the 6.2 and I'm stealing that quote.
@Nice Guy Eddie The profit is sacrificed for turning the society around in some way. That has always been Elon´s plan. But in the end, he is hoping to get on the plus side. and he should if he doesnt want Tesla to be bought up by someone else when they go bankrupt.
@Nice Guy Eddie Yeah, I agree. But Tesla was not founded to earn money initially. It was founded with a vision. I really believe that even if Tesla goes bust, Elon is happy with contributing to getting the ball rolling. He has proven that he can get a profit before with other companies, so we will just have to see. He is an engineer, a visionary. I guess Tesla will be bought up at a later date and the progress has to slow down to be able to earn money.
@Nice Guy Eddie

Folks throw of on Tesla, but I saw that man's company send up a rocket. It went up, puked out a half a dozen satellites into m geosync orbit then it's booster turned around and softly landed on a rocking barge in the oceam. It was one of the most elegant things I've ever witnessed. Enjoy your new model 3. I'm jealous.
Just a week ago it puked out 60 hahahaha you might want to look up a replay of the falcon heavy here on youtube
I got to drive the p100d 0-60 in 2.3 seconds. People talk shit but never stepped foot in one. It’s like a damn spaceship.
2.3??? That’s insane
The Model S was the fastest production car of any kind for a few years. It isn’t anymore, but it is still the fastest production sedan. The 2020 Roadster is expected to hit 60mph in 1.9sec or less.
How many 0-60 in 2.3 seconds can you do before discharging the battery?
@@BillMeyerShow too many
Speed runs on electricity drain range just like speed runs on gasoline. However, a 100kWh battery is huge.
I watched this part 15:21 at least 3 times, and I nodded in agreement, every... single... time. Tesla Model Y gonna be my next car.
Might want to pre-order the Y, now, so you can lock in the rising FSD price.
Too bad for you, the whole world is salivating for a Tesla. All crapshoot news articles aside, Tesla is yet to produce enough to even come close the demand - and they've grown far faster than other car companies out there! And since Tesla is getting a lot of flak from muricans, maybe China will give them a home... just saying.
Something truely to be patriotic about. Congrats to USA 🇺🇸
But Tesla was started by Elon who is South African. So in theory, Tesla is South African made
@@whathappenswhen4767 Yes, and microsoft is from america, and when it bought out mojang, who was created by a swedish man, microsoft is now swedish?

Tesla was founded in America and Elon Musk has the American nationality so practically Tesla is an African-American company
Hi TnB, Like you, I'm a gun owner, politically conservative, but like the idea of an American made car that is high tech, fun to drive and inexpensive to operate. That's why I bought a Model S 70D back in 2015. It has been the best car I've ever owned.
The 'environmental' benefits are just gravy for me. The performance, quiet ride and low cost of operation and maintenance plus the amazing tech are what prompted me to buy one. Love the fact that in 5 seconds, I can plug it in when I get home and every time I hit the road, the car has plenty of juice to take me to where ever I plan to go.
Enjoy the ride.
@walter white sorry you 'feel' that way. The right to keep and bear arms is not limited to current or former military members, as I'm certain you know. P.s. I served in USAF 1965-1969. Best regards.
@@ram-ck7ti I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! GREAT ANSWER LOLOL
I'm utterly blown away! This is the best video I've ever seen on the Model 3, but more importantly on Tesla as a whole. Amazing work and insightful indictment of those who wear the conservative mantle but are only really supporting the corporate status quo. Do a video on how SpaceX is disrupting the largess of the trough-feeding government aerospace contractors as well please! I've owned my Model 3 for 11 months and you nailed it. For me, as a sports car guy the superb handling dynamics of the car are a huge plus as well!
Thank you for voicing this most important aspect of Testla as an American company. Tesla is the real way to Make American Great Again.
You mean by living off on government subsidy.
Wild Bill Like so many other IS car companies.
@@bmstyleeby subsidy do you mean taxes? I mean isn't the problem with American industry that it's been taxed away to China and other countries?
Also Trump got rid of a lot of the subsidies that Tesla and other electric companies had. Tesla has sold the most cars it ever has in its history as a company during his administration.
@@bmstylee The International Monetary Fund and World Bank produce an annual report that details global energy subsidies across all sectors. Guess what? In the USA, the FOSSIL FUEL industry enjoys subsidies and kick-backs of $880 BILLION. Go check out the report. It's very detailed and in parts very complex, so a person like you may have a little difficulty in understanding it, but give it a go.
@@bmstylee Tesla and ford only US car companies not to go bust or get a government bail out.

Tesla needs a musle car and a SUV to push the idea that electric cars are not the golf carts.

A good thing to mention about Tesla is them giving the finger to the conventional car dealership racket. Tesla sells directly to customers: The non-capitalist politicans and company owners that try to force Tesla to use third party dealers (For all sales) when that kind of system does not help the consumer one bit. Yes you can buy a car from a dealership: But why must there be a law saying that you can not buy directly from the manufacturer?
Yes, the dealership lobby is so bad. They've made life very hard for Tesla here in NC.
@@TWANGnBANG It is also comical to listen to the car dealership guys. "It is safer.." How is it safer to buy from a dealership? Or "It serves Xs well and people prefer dealerships." If the people prefer dealerships, why do you have to have a law that outlaws going outside the dealership structure.
This is really just crony capitalism: The system does nothing for consumers, and just forces companies to use middle men for no good reason.
I will trust a Tesla salesman a lot more then some random car dealership guy.
TWANGnBANG even worse in Michigan and NM.
Really great video my friend! Very well researched, produced, and presented. The more people that understand why this car is so important for America the better! Tell all your friends!
This is the best Tesla video I've seen. Not that I give two hoots about American patriotism, but all the info comes across in a way that apeals to normal people, not fanboys. Well done. Look forward to your tech channel.

Had to comment on this. Great job sharing your perspective! It's one I don't hear often and you expressed it very well. Excellent work!
Why doesn’t this video have 10m views?!
Im glad a real conservative is trying to educate the chanting class who goes against their own self interest over and over again. I hope some of them wake up and see reality before they ruin our country any further.
I am 40 years old and have for 20 years of my life worked in the renewable energy field. I have seen solar go from 120 bucks a watt to less than 50 cents. My wife and I live on a SMALL income. We do all we can to keep are bills low. Living on lass than $750 bucks a month we must keep are hands on all that we can. This is part of why I have solar in my home and add as I can. It helps too that we live on the cost in SC with big storms that like to kill are power for weeks at the time. Btw my home is using Chevy Volt batts that where in a crashed car.
One day it's my goal to have a Tesla that I can charge from my home's off-grid solar. I am a country boy who loves his guns lives on a farm hunts and fish. Have had a CPW from the age of 22 and carry all the time. So not the green dude but know that the Lord tells us to take care of what he gives us. This is way I do what I can. Thanks for sharing with us. I feel your 100% right. God Bless Brother..
This was fantastic. Thanks for putting this together. Will share with friends and family.
Thank you so much for making this video! I have never understood how people were not wanting to support a fully American car company, one that has created over 40K American jobs and helping us (The US) stay ahead in tech.
Fantastic review of an amazing American product.
Who is this guy and why is he making so much sense???
I'm going to find a way to send this remarkable video to Elon through a mutual friend. Sandy Munro is also someone who would also appreciate your work here and help to spread this message. He's an old line Detroit car executive who runs a reverse engineering shop. After he drove a Model 3 and broke down the drivetrain he began to refer to Elon as an American hero. Thank you for setting the record straight for many Americans who would otherwise just hear the BS media bias against Tesla. As you say it's actually a matter of national security. This needs to be shared.
Thanks so much!
Send it to trump he is the idiot here
grant flavel how is President Trump the idiot here?? That makes no sense especially since he believes in Tesla and has a relationship with Elon. Enough with the tds and keep politics out of this.
Thank you for this articulate PSA. So many people are still in the dark and I applaud you for using this venue to spread a balanced overview on an American company trying to help America and the world, yet have the largest targets on their backs from domestic enemies. God bless you.
One of the best videos ever made on Tesla, thank you for this. I'm Canadian, not American, but I'm a conservative gun owner and hunter and I agree with everything you said.
Fantastic! I've been to BC many times and can't wait to go back.
I am also baffled by people hating Tesla for no apparent reason. Why defend one of the big 3 who would prefer to build their cars in Mexico?! I am proud that a company (an American company) is at the top of its game.
These are the only new American cars I see being promoted in Europe too. I went to a show recently and the locals (right in the centre of car-loving Bavaria) were all oogling the Tesla and taking photos of it. This car is promoting US auto-manufacturing abroad, in saturated markets, like no other.
these are the only american cars I would consider buying as a european
and not only consider, I WILL BUY ONE OF THOSE 100%
I saw the same thing at the most recent LA CAR SHOW, here in car-loving Los Angeles, ca. Tesla got the spot RIGHT at the entrance (Smart move) and it was SO CROWDED the fire department should have shut down the whole show. People were 7 rows deep. It was absurd. The rest of the show was a disappointment. Except for the RIVIAN thing. That looked cool, but that was just a display. Have never seen a RIVIAN driving around. But we've all seen TESLAs. And that Model 3 was the most loved car in Los Angeles.
Yeah, I've been wanting to buy American for a LONG time but cars made in the USA sucked until the Tesla came out.

Watching a patriotic american talk about buying an electric car , Priceless.
It's true. Tesla is more American than Chrysler GM, and Ford, which make a lot of their parts overseas. In fact, Chrysler and Ford are managed by people overseas, with interests in other countries. Tesla is 100% designed and made in America. It is more American than the F-150. Now, I am not saying that cars from other countries are bad. I love cars from other countries. I am just saying that Tesla is the most American car there is. Period.

Electric cars are nice and comfortable to drive. *This car is changing the market* and forces other companies to innovate faster.
The Tesla model 3 is the very nice car for the price, because of the Auto Pilot.
It's like a smart car, and the other electric cars without the autopilot are like dial-up phones.
The auto pilot is providing collision safety by at least 10X, when the person is tired or distracted, or sick, or sneezing.
Buying a Tesla has been life-changing. Best thing I ever did. Period.
I wish we were able to afford one sooner.
Best thing? I don't want to be rude, but that's a bit sensational, don't you think? I'm just saying, when I die I don't want someone to say during my eulogy, "He was a great man, but his crowning achievement was his Tesla."
@@Splincir Meaning - bought/got. Of course!
Love this video! I too am one of the seemingly small intersection of gun enthusiasts and Tesla owners. I too don't understand the hate toward this innovative American company. So happy to see you make this video!
Thank you my friend.
My team assembled your car!
I’ve been trying to make the same argument for renewables for years. It seems like there are a lot of people that would rather oppose “the left” environmentalists vs make change for our own security. If we can get to a point that we don’t need foreign oil, we will be more independent while OPEC and others will not get our money. We will likely not eliminate the need for oil for many years, but we can get to the point where domestic production can meet the demand. Plus we get to breathe cleaner air and have less noise pollution.
This comment is worth far more than the single "thumbs up" I was allowed to give it.
I'm from Europe and I'm dumbfounded seeing Tesla being slurred and underrated in their own country. I drive a Model 3 now after having driven Audi for the last 17 years and I'm not going back. The car is simply amazing and one of the best things the US produces. You should cherish that.
Great video that makes me think about Tesla in a different light. Very cool car.
Most people see Tesla as a "Lefty" statement and videos like this one from a
gun loving patriot does help.
I live in a politically red neighborhood in GA. There are 4 Teslas in my neighborhood now. One of them is me. People are overthinking this too much. It's just a car and a really good one. One where you can fill up in your garage at half the price of gas and one that I haven't done any regular maintenance on for 19,000 miles other than pouring in some washer fluid and rotating the tires. And it's quick as hell and is really nimble on back roads.
@@flipadavis its more like 1/3 not 1/2 on fuel cost for me.
@@duketlam9206 Depends what you compare it to. If you compare to a performance car like an M3 it's closer to 1/5 or 1/6 depending on what you pay in your area for gas and electric.
@@domg7359 true. I been charging at home and have been watching my electricity consumption. Bottom line for me is about 1/3 the price in comparison to gasoline. But this all depends on your electricity cost per kilowatt/hr vs gas cost in your area.
As a young lad (19 years of age) that's always loved technology and computers, I drool everytime I see a Tesla and one of my goals for the future is to save for one!
I mean you're probably young enough to be able to enter the used market if you have to.
Thank you so much bro, I'm 27 from Texas, I've been saying this for yrs, that it's an American company with innovative tech, creating local jobs while others are outsourcing, if we don't support and push this technology we're basically handing it to other countries to adopt it and we'll "be left in the dust". Totally glad a gun toting Patriotic american supports this kind of innovative home grown tech and isn't scared of it putting his grandpas gas guzzlers out to pasture.
Best video I’ve seen on Tesla!
Shared to my Facebook))
I've been that guy to not like the telsa just cuz the v8 sound is unmatched. But the efficiency & logic is unmatched.....& love its USA!
When you think about it, most of the sound is just dirty air pushed out of a tube. Not sure why people like it
Dirty hot air, at that. Lots of wasted energy.
loud sounds are important to some people but to the generation that is coming of age right now, a slow machine that makes a lot of noise is not very cool. Harleys make a ton of noise but their target demographic is shrinking along with their sales. Hopefully the Livewire changes things for them.
@@anthonyc8499 Harely will hopefully never go away as well as loud noise on motorcycle extremely useful for safety, & satisfaction 😎
@@APWoodworking I hope you're right that they never go away. They're classic American motorcycles but they've had five straight years of declining sales. I'm glad to see that they're taking a risk on something. ua-cam.com/video/DRy9H_6qbtM/v-deo.html
You have totally changed my perspective. Looking forward to my Tesla!
Model 3 Performance owner.
I hope everyone gets to see your video.
Thank you.
Great job on this video! You touched on every point I could imagine about Tesla. You expanded my view on Tesla, I never really considered how these developments will affect the international community. Plus, being able to control farts is pretty cool
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was just on Facebook reading the "big ol merican v8s will always beat electrics" comments under the electrify America page
isaidholla40 rblx Were their comments misspelled? Covfefe!
I don't get it either. I like Tesla's and don't understand why some people equate being pro environment with being a democrat or leftie. I was a boy scout and we always believed in taking care of our lands and country. Buying something that is made and designed in the USA, and that also doesn't pollute it should be a good thing. Even if you don't believe in global warming, what's the upside to pumping extra pollution into the air? I'm not totally convinced that global warming exists but I also know I believe leaving my campsite and my planet cleaner then when I arrived. Not sure I can pull it off totally but why not try???
Of course it pollutes, it's a partially coal powered car. Tesla is the most amazing rent-seeking crony capitalist company this side of Solyndra.
@@BillMeyerShow Good point 🥺😳🤪🤯
KMED1440 partial coal as in 30% total US electricity generation. However, most Tesla’s and other EVs are sold in ZEV states. For example, in CA, your statement is still true, at 1%. Lastly, most folks actually get solar before they get their EV. So running on partial coal is in theory true, but in reality that % is a whole lot lower than you would expect.
Unfortunately, being a good person is associated with the left. Being a good “believer” is associated with the right. Church and Patriotism-right. Helping the poor and protecting the environment-left.
@@TheThomaswastaken That's true if you follow the idea that giving people free stuff is good for them. The Right would give them jobs which is better and long-term solution but not inline with the liberal talking points cuz business/corporations are evil. I've never seen people actually helped by free stuff over time. That's a total lie...but does make low IQ people feel better and vote for lefties.
Very well articulated video and great shots. Hope more people see this video
My fire department is looking at an electric fire truck
I guess they'll get some practice when it catches fire ;p
Crow's Bridge Tesla’s are 5 times less likely to catch fire than an ICE vehicle
@@crowsbridge Electric cars catch fire far less than gas cars, and when they do catch fire, the fires are slower and more survivable.
@cjhyde78 Can you name a type of vehicle which doesn't tend to catch fire?
@cjhyde78 Source on this? Do you have data ? Checked it vs an ICE car? Also, does your car full of combustible gasoline have some sort of amazing tech making it unable to catch fire? Also, have you ever seen a car catch fire that has magnesium in the block?
I've been very interested in the model 3. I'm hoping to pick up a used on in a few years (the battery life has shown to not be a problem). I also love the aspect that I can make my own electricity much easier than I can make my own gas, increasing my self-sufficiency.
Not sure if Tesla hooked you up on the price but they should have because this is the best tesla review on UA-cam
They did not. As of now, they don't even know who I am. I think that is going to change, though... :)
I've always been curious in them but your review really showed light on why to own one . They are a little out of my price range now but maybe not in the future. Would be curious what a payment on one is like . You said you save 300 a month in gas but what's the difference in payment from your old vehicles? 300 in savings in nice but if the payment is 3 times your truck payment then is that really savings ? I think for now my new Tacoma will have to do but you never know :)
Just run the figures on a loan for $35,000 less whatever your trade-in will be. The loan is the same regardless of car brand. We bought a much more expensive version of the Model 3, but it was not any more expensive than the loaded GMC pickup I was planning to get.
@@TWANGnBANG wait so they start at 35k ? I paid more for my truck lol I always thought they were like 100k ?
@@TWANGnBANG just looked up some prices and wow they are alot cheaper than I thought . You can get a nice one for 45-55k . Your right about the same as a pickup these days
People who don't like this vid or tesla just need to go check themselves..... you go brother.
I'm not even American and this was fascinating.
I bet the oil companies and electric haters are lobbying or trying anything possible to get Tesla's kill. My dream car TESLA'S 💯💪
One of the best Model 3 videos I've seen and I've watched literally hundreds. Awesome coverage & explanation.
I'm with you 100% brother. Conservative here, fully support 2nd amendment, prepper, love Jeeps etc and I'm a full out Tesla advocate. It's an American made best EV world wide.
Americans should be proud.
Great video I hope it enlightens the community
it is also the independence electric vehicles bring
if the world goes to shit i can live happily with solar energy and electric vehicles, but producing my own gasolene will be hard
and I can do that in a lodge somewhere remote too as long as I am in a 300mile radius of the next electricity source
I loved this video. But it's odd to me that the USA, the country that landed on the moon, needs people like you to convince them that it's OK to be proud of the Tesla. This is the sort of thing we used to see in American sci-fi a few decades ago. It's bloody awesome. We LOVE the Tesla here in Norway. The government here even gives tax incentives to buy them, because even they think it's a good idea for us to buy American.
I think people take issue with were a lot of their funding comes from and where the government gets the money to hand out for those tax incentives.
I work in the semiconductor industry and I travel to San Jose for work often enough and have to say most people there don't speak too highly of Tesla. (in case you didn't know there is a Tesla factory there). Most of what I hear is how when Tesla moves into your area, you are the one paying for it. I don't live there so I cant confirm this, just relaying what people have told me and you know its possible that could be more of a government problem than it is a Tesla problem.
For me I think a lot of the stuff they're doing is really cool, especially in regards to their space program, and I do like to see an American company succeed and innovate. I would just like to know they did it on their own merit and profit from a sound business instead of just printing more money like our government has done for plenty of companies and it self for years.
I'm one of the people who is of the mind that when Dodge and GM and the banks were all failing we should have let them fail and Die. I'm the same with Tesla, if they cant cut it as a business let them die and someone better will always come along and replace you. There's always a bigger fish as they say.
@@Splincir This is precisely it. Tesla gets tons of money due to hooking up on the environmental agenda. The only reason they get so much money is because no one is buying electric cars and other companies that made them, simply dropped it. In order to keep the electric car agenda alive, they are keeping Tesla alive synthetically with tax dollars, an advantage no other American company gets.
Tesla's space endeavors also aren't really that impressive. We had the technology with NASA, Obama shut down the shuttle program which forced us to use foreign rockets such as Russia to reach the International Space Station. Tesla only has the tech because all the guys who lost their jobs in NASA got picked up by Tesla. That's not really helping America overall. Tesla aren't even made in the US aside from assembly and some parts. Taking pride in Tesla as being American is like someone taking pride in Holosun optics.
Tesla cars aren't even that reliable. I've owned one and it didn't even work half the time. I do like the concept of electric cars, not for the environmental aspect, but the quiet stealth, acceleration, and concept of recharging your car, however Tesla isn't it.
People also have to realize, Elon Musk never made money from his companies. His wealth is specifically from stock market speculation. That's why he always does crazy stunts, the key is to draw attention to his company (good or bad) to cause his stocks to fluctuate which allows him to generate revenue.
I also agree we shouldn't have bailed out the other automobile companies. The whole point of capitalism is that if a company falls, it creates an opportunity for someone to fill the void. The only thing the government should be doing is issuing tariffs (it is afterall one of the enumerated powers) to block foreign companies from killing domestic manufacturing.
Welcome to the club!! I got mine in October!
I got this one in September. 12,000 miles and counting. :)
God bless you and thanks for pointing this out. We (Tesla - all American company) are the envy of the world and everyone (even the Germans) still can't catch us in the BEV space. I know they will succeed and I plan on buying another Tesla.
The reason there's so much hate for Tesla on seemingly all fronts is quite simple: money. The one thing Elon Musk does best is disrupt the status quo, and with Tesla, he's taken a sledge hammer to virtually every norm in the auto industry. Oil companies have a financial interest in seeing Tesla, and all electrics in general, fail. Traditional auto manufacturers are struggling to compete on the electric front, and so have a financial interest in seeing Tesla fail. Tesla cut out car dealerships, the middlemen, and so they all have a financial interest in seeing it fail. TSLA is one of the most shorted stocks on the market because a lot of very wealthy people stand to gain or maintain if Tesla loses.
Tesla should be held up as a great success story of US innovation and manufacturing. The fact that it's constantly under fire is due almost entirely to wealthy individuals and organizations dependent on ICE vehicles that have found themselves on the wrong side of change. That, and it's just plain easier to bash Tesla instead of trying to out engineer Elon Musk.
This is the best video I have ever watched on why we all should want Tesla to succeed. Well done.
I"d like to point out that a lot of companies import significant percentages of their parts. Teslas have the highest percentage of American parts of any domestic auto manufacturer.
13:31 - excellent point about the location of the emissions. The other thing I like to tell people about this is that as the grid gets cleaner it has a network effect by the "emissions" for all EVs also goes down
I actually also point that out in the video when I’m talking about deployment of solar. It’s just a sentence in a 21-minute video, so it’s certainly easy to miss.
It's refreshing seeing even more variety on your channel and I hope to one day be a Tesla owner myself! Great review, keep up the great work!
Best Tesla video EVER! Tesla is American but a lot of gasoline comes from Arab oil! You are 100% correct. God bless you and your clear view.
Thank you for the great video and delivering all the bullet points I’ve been trying to do it myself.Tesla is the most American company and by buying the car not only you improve air quality but you making United States energy independent
Even Chinese customers investors and government are clear about this issue. If USA doesn't hurry up to embrace Tesla and push its growth , China will eventually claim that Tesla is the Chinese Brand that was originally manufactured in California.
China is already supporting their own electric car companies. Why can't America?
@@alexanderchristopher6237 : Red state politicians and oil money , un-capitalistic Dealer lobbyists.
That was an awesome and well-done video! Keep up the great work.
Wow, great review. Very informative. Thank you!
The best explanation of Tesla and all their attributes I have ever seen. Thank You for all the information that no one thinks about when discussing electric cars in general. If Tesla made infomercials this would be at the top of the list.
“That never gets old”. You’re damn right it doesn’t get old screaming from a stop! I look forward to buying a 3. And I will not miss the oil changes and recycling the oil. Nope.
Also, I love the shooting sports too. My 3 will display NRA and Gadsden Flag stickers!
It's nice someone else notices thus kind of stuff.
I am really impressed by what you have to say. I learned a great deal and I appreciate your video,
Hey, with Autopilot, you don't even need to steer straight!
Chrissakes, this is the country that put men on the Moon. I just don't get why they wouldn't be on board with the most advanced automotive technology.
The people who are anti-Tesla are the same people who think the moon landing was faked. Certified wackos.
Tesla belongs to Elon Musk.
SpaceX belongs to Elon Musk.
They will land on the Moon in the next 5 years, and on Mars in 10 to 15 years.
The vehicles that will be driving on the Moon and Mars are going to be Tesla.
@@Wirmish-Elon, Elon, über alles!
THANK YOU for trying to open people’s eyes and minds!!!
This is why I´m finally ordering a Tesla Model 3. Thank you for this video brother. I want more American made products.
Awesome! Don't forget to use the link to get free Supercharging.
I’ve been saving on the side from investing and buying a rental property to get a Skyline GT-R (dream car) and now I’m seriously contemplating to get a Tesla Roadster instead. It’s about double the cost but to have an 8 sec. car would be worth the increase in payments 😎
The Roadster will be insane.

Great video. Keep up the good work.
When I ordered my Model 3 my reasons were entirely different (read: more selfish), but your thoughtful consideration from a completely different perspective is enlightening. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, for sure. I wanted a Model 3 because I wanted a safe, fast car. The rest is just a bonus.
