I Bought My Dream Car (Tesla Model X)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2023
- So I went on a long quest researching electric car options, We jotted down our dream features and I kept coming back to getting a Tesla. The only model that really ticked all of our boxes was the model X… but it was way out of our budget! the base models coming at $80,000 However after weeks of searching I found a 4 year old one the other side of the Country that looked pretty perfect. I managed to get approved for financing the car, persuaded my friend Steve to join and we set off on our journey!

I'm more blown away that you've owned 27 vehicles!!!!
I know, right?! I am 55 years old and I have only owned three cars in my lifetime!
Love the friendship between Steve and Louis. Love seeing Steve.
hahahaah Steve and Louis discussing what settings they prefer, and trying to figure out the car is hilarious and adorable. Hearing Louis say "bro" to Steve, takes be back to the old days.
Congrats, brother. You and your family deserve it.
I have a model 3 and we did a cross-Europe road trip earlier this year with a baby - such a comfy ride and the Supercharger network is great.
One piece of advice - rarely, if ever, charge to 100%. Keeping the battery between 80-20% will keep the battery in the best condition for longer! We only up the charge limit to 90% for long road trips.
Congrats Louis!!! The range will take a bit to "Settle" and get used to your driving and the fluctuation will settle. A ton of factors play into the "Mileage left" including things like speed (ideal is roughly 40-60 mph with even elevation) Chill mode and Range mode will help adjust the accessories power and even out your acceleration to maximize distance. A lot of people use percentage over miles because of the high swings but i personally use mileage distance because of "old habits". Remember these 2 things: ABC (always be charging.... keeping your car charged actually is better for the car then leaving it for multiple days on end not charging.) and second is to try and keep the battery level between 20-80%... not lower or higher to maintain the best battery longevity. I have owned 3 teslas now and can tell you that you will absolutely love it and will never go back!!! Congrats again enjoy!!!
Lol you outlay all this mess of nonsense then close out with how you love it. 😂
Should do a bro counter I'm sure I heard it at least 300 times
Hi Louis, congratulations on the new car!!! It would be great if you could do a followup video in a couple of months detailing how owning a used electric car compares to buying a used gas car.
Yay, we bought a Tesla this week too 😊. I hope you're loving it as much as we are!!
Tesla Model X is our go-to family car, cannot beat it. Nice one!
Its just not a safe car for kids when the control arms can snap at any moment. Look up "whompy wheel" its pure nightmare fuel and happened to my parent model X after year 3.
Love that you watch Louis
GLS?
@@blue_ig1 mahh
had my Tesla for 4 years. the mileage is all over the place, and really can depend on the route. elevation and heat make the biggest differences. save your sanity and change it to %, not miles. But if you are charging at home, it only matters when you go on road trips, and the map will tell you when to charge. I like to charge more often for short periods. keep it between 20-80 and it will charge faster.
Keep it on battery percentage instead of mileage for range; have maximum regenerative breaking on using one pedal driving; keep in the habit of charging it more often then not (daily up to 80 to 85%); you will need plan out trips more carefully; no need to get FSD since the free autopilot has adaptive cruise control.
It's fun to watch you discover what an awesome car you just bought! I think you'll find that even if you didn't pay for FSD, it can still steer itself on the motorway. (Autopilot) Just tap down twice on the right stalk to activate it. (but still stay aware at all times and ready to tap the brake or grab the wheel if necessary - it's not perfect)
I bought a 2016 Tesla Model X in 2019. Love my car and wouldn't change it! But here's some things I've run into in the four years I've owned her:
* If you're in standard mode you accelerate and the car "shudders", have it looked at! Some of the Model X's had bad struts that need to be replaced. They will warranty replace it.
* Everyone says watch out for the falcon doors but I've never had a problem. The biggest issue I had was with the front windows! The motor they used to power the driver and passenger side windows are notoriously weak. I've had mine replaced five times now (all under factory warranty). Hope fifth time was the charm.
* There's a setting that lets you close the doors with one press of the fob. Do NOT turn that on! Leave it at two presses. The amount of times I've leaned against the car and accidentally closed the doors on me or my wife (because my fob was in my front pocket)...
* Replacement windshield wipers cost $80 USD! If yours are getting old and need replaced, schedule a service! They will replace them for free if it's still under warranty. It's the weirdest feeling, scheduling a service call for windshield wiper replacement...
* Do not fold down the back seats while leaving something in them (like an umbrella). The seats can *lock* in that position and refuse to move until you somehow get that something out.
* Keep in mind when towing, you will easily lose half your range.
Some tips:
* If you get into the driver's seat and press the brake, the driver's side door will automatically close. No need to press the close button. Great when you're getting into the car with your hands full.
So happy for you, Louis. Congrats on the new car! 🎉❤
Congratulations Louis🎉 Very informative video, liked it a lot. A good review☺️❤
Beautiful car. I can't wait to see all the fun adventures you go on in her.
In the winter when it is really cold your miles will be reduced by one third. You will trade it in within 2.7 years.Fully charged in 2days versus pulling up to a pump and leaving in 10 minutes.
I'm lucky, I already own my dream car- 1991 Toyota Corolla manual trans. I took my first one, (also a '91 manual) to 634K miles and it still got over 40 mpg. Greatest car in the world.
Congrats brother 🙏💯
Congratulations on the car love the colour the interior looks really smart.
27 vehicles??? Woah!! I'm 35 and just bought my third last year, my first time buying a new car after driving my jeep to 198,000 miles.
Wow, what a great car! Can't wait to see you and the car on a nice long road trip!
Your range percentage remaining fluctuates probably because of the way you’re driving in traffic. You may be adding more miles to your batter with the regenerative breaking throughout your long drive
So stoked for you dude, out of Tesla's line up the X always interested me - really cool to see a candid review of the car and that it was in such good condition! Enjoy man!
Thanks so much for sharing your new to you car experience. Back in the day we bought our first car and drove to Cleveland OH from Chicago Illinois to show Loni's Mum and Pop our new Chevrolet. Arrived on a Saturday morning and drove to Nidagara Falls Ontario. What great memories for a first new car. We love you guys and thrill in your so persona adventures. ❤❗
Love to see these vlogs with Steve. Just like the old days! Cheers mate. 👊🏼
Congratulations! I love it!! It's one of the safest cars out there. I'm going for the Model Y.
don't look at the miles it's not accurate, use battery %. Also use regenerative breaking a lot so it saves a lot ! Charging is faster when battery is low and also charge to 85% for everyday and to 100% when you do trips!
Only charge to 100% when you drive away immedeately after charging. A 100% fully charged battery tends to deteriorate quicker. Normally you should charge to 80 max 90 percent. I drive my Tesla Model S now for 5 years: I bought it with 382 kms range and now it still has 370 kms. I never charge to 100%, that helps
@@pgapieper he is charging at home so he could just put a limit to some %.
Love the Tesla it’s great. Hope you and Raya enjoy it xx
I'm still watching, but had to pop into the chat to say that Louis' face when he sat in the Tesla was too much joy for my heart to handle! I hope it brings you that much joy for the rest of the time you have it. I'm excited to see if Raya is happy when she sees it!
Congratulations!!! That car is beautiful!!!
Range estimates on the Tesla included weather, wind, elevation changes, etc. I have found it to be pretty accurate... You can set your display for the estimate or the ideal (I always show the estimate).
Congratulations on your new vehicle! I just got a 2020 Model S Performance, also red! I’m loving it!
What’s giving you the rendering of other cars is the cameras not LiDAR.
Louis, you have to do a video when you make your car do the Tesla dance. On your screen, go to "entertainment" >> toy box >> light show >> start show" Then, get out of the car and close the door!
Congratulations on your new car! Amazing!!!🎉❤
Live the colour and I have learnt heaps just from your video about this car. Look forward to seeing more about car after you have had it for a few weeks.
I love Steve, hes OG. Love him since the Daily Vlogs.
Congratulations Loui, my dream car as well.
We’ve had ours for 5 years and still love it.
The back of that front armrest has the a/c for the mid-cabin seats. You are right.... The top slides to give access to the cup holders.
Congrats guys
Happy for you Louis. Greets from Berlin
I’d really recommend getting an actual charger fitted to the outside of the house. It’s much better for the battery too
Best car ever. Can’t believe you didn’t watch every UA-cam video out there to learn about your car. 😂 The range is never what it says. I spent months watching them before mine arrived. Enjoy
I love Steve !!! And Louis is as happy as a kit at x-mas ;) bless him
Congrats Louis !! 🎈 Tesla is a very nice auto , also kudos to Steve being a real good friend wanting the best 4 u & Raya being supportive wife as always !
Love this car DIY on your channel
We love our Tesla Model 3 LR. We would love to get a model Y! Connect your phones to the car with the app so all you have to do is, most of the time just walk up and the car will unlock. If your car is set up to do that, all you have do is put on the brake on and shift by the car in drive or reverse and go, no starting the car. The car wakes up as you walk towards the car. What I also like to can set the car to the temperature you like before getting in the car.
Beyond cool, congratulations man!
Neat, new red car car!
In May my daughter and I bought a 2022 Hyundai Venue, it’s red with a black roof. Very slick. She wanted to look at the Ioniq or another make of EV. I said no as it was just one more layer of learning a modern vehicle for me. She does not drive…yet. I am still learning everything about it including the back up camera (frightening) as well as not jump whenever there is a beep beep if a vehicle comes to close to me, and have yet to determine if it has heated seats!
Enjoy discovering your new car.
Use the energy app in the car for range estimates, not the "EPA" range indicated at the battery symbol.
New car & great driving tunes =Louis gets his groove back❤
Why didn't you have the dealership show you all the features before you left?
Congratulations, its my dream car too I can only imagine how happy you are, very happy for u and i hope one day I get one of these ❤❤ first time seeing your channel and i already love your videos💞
Louis CONGRATS on your new Tesla X!! Let's toast to it 🥂🍾 wishing you the best it is a beauty...❤
Fun to see you exploring modern car features 😂👍❤
Grab some seat covers for the toddler years with Neo and Cali. Then you can take off later and they’re fresh.
This brings me back to old-school vlogs with Steve and Louis, the tesla looks like a sweet purchase
Going to love it bro! Welcome to the Tesla family. Absolutely love mine! 🔋🔌
Never thought I’d miss seeing the “Louis nod” 9:26 😂
trial by fires haha. loved it. purchased a model y earlier this year and love it. but i did weeks of research and test drives lol
You deserve Louis 🎉
Brilliant car, you must find out how it does the light and sound display, as Jeremy Clarkson showed, it's really impressive. You are going to have days of fun finding all the features.
Lovely color! I got an Ionic5 - color options are way more limited. Car is great though. Enjoy the X!
Congrats! I have a 2004 Chevy Venture named “LOUIS!” 🚗💨
Boy ur kid will soon do one hell of a number on those beautiful white seats lol great buy good luck with it bro hope it fills all the boxes for you and ur family
Congrats on your new Tesla purchase you'll love it you need to install Tesla Wall Connector 220V 60Amp at your home it charges about 43 miles I have it installed and love it
Nice car, really! I hope it serves you well over the years.
This journey is just highlighting road conditions can have a lot of bearing on range - rain and water spray a big drag
Very wholesome video! What’s crazy is they’re talking about the model x from a couple years back or so and the newer models are getting crazy! Apparently the model 3 highland is going to be absurd and have 421 miles of range🤯
congrats Bud!
Congratulations brother 💪
Do an update video about the range in the middle of winter.
Steve is such a legend
This feels like the good ol' days vlog - love it!
Congrats! One day my husband will get one when they are easier to maintain!
Congrats on the gorgeous car❤
I love that you got a Tesla. My brother owns one and he loves it. I have a game and I count them on the road like the game of: punch buggy. It’s quite a fun game
I’m about to buy my first Tesla! I am soooo excited
Well now! Sweet!
The rain will reduce your range, extra drag from the wheels in the water. Similar to using more effort when paddling in water compared to solid ground.
Holly shi** you got a kid now! used to watch you when i was 16 lol congrats man!!
You should get a level 2 charger installed at home! In the US, it’s a 240v - 50 or 60 amp charger. It would fully charge in 6-10 hours.
Congratulations and lots of Love from India ❤
had no idea you lived in my hometown, hope to see you zooming around in ruby!
12:12 NB: steady motorways is the least efficient driving style in an EV as you don't get the boosts from regen braking.
Road trip time Louis
The road being wet reduces the range a little
I would keep keys in a rfid bag or box when not in use at home as I believe other Tesla owners mentioned someone could wirelessly hack it to unlock the car. Plus you can set in PIN protection for extra security.
Yes bro!
Please someone count how many times Louis said "bro" in this vid 😂
I really like your buddy, Steve.
I found that the displayed range is not very accurate but the range in navigation trip planner is usually spot on. I think the model x is best family car out there, nothing beats the falcon wing doors when you have kids.
Definitely stands out from your previous vehicles hahaha congrats!
The range displayed next to the battery level is rated range. EPA (US) rated range is calculated by 55mph, minimal wind, no air con, and one occupant. Roughly 4 miles per KWH. The real world range is mostly less than that. Always use navigation to plan your battery level. DC fast charging for long trips. We love our Model Ys.
Love it 😍
range depend on the driving motorway or country roads
because all miles use different amount of the power
I own a Model 3 and it is always a bit pessimistic on the range in the beginning of the drive and then adjusts and gets more realistic
