_Enter now for a chance to win KITTesla_ at bit.ly/winkittesla and good luck!
holy moly...
and even free delivery to europe... oh yes.. come to daddy.. :)
Done and done 👌 The sandpits of Horsell Common on my doorstep to recreate some awesome shots 😊
Wow, what an opportunity! Wonder how much import fees and reg to the UK would be? Do the FSD/addons transfer with car?
@@PaulMD If you have a few spare appendages and organs like me then we'll be fine mate don't worry. :)))
What an honor that must have been for the Hoff!
Hahaha
Crazy to realize that David Hasslehoff is now 13 years older than Edward Mulhare was when he started playing Devon at the beginning of the series.
How about David taking the place of Edward Mulhare as the head of Knight industries?
I wish they could get a proper Knight Rider movie (or tv show)off the ground. I love the idea that Michael Knight would be the new president of the Knight Foundation. This Tesla KITT is pretty awesome. It’s the wheels, the paint job and the red scanner that makes KITT stand out. Who would voice KITT, and who would take Michael’s place behind the wheel? I don’t think anyone could pull it off.
@@bratton79 AI KITT voice. Plenty of William Daniels voice samples. No replacement for the Hoff.
Why does David Hasselhoff look like Edward Mulhare from 40 years ago?
"Time stops for no one"
THE HOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!. The circle is complete. ❤❤
Plottwist: David wins KITTesla :D :D
You really are living the dream of every little boy that grew up in the 80's. Knight Rider was an awesome show.
Fantastic episode. What a finale !
Next ... Airwolf !
Does anyone still remember Automan?
@@-taz- I do!
@@-taz- Sure, but with only half a season, and the car not being a true character, there is not much nostalgia for it.
Also, I don't remember the car being put into crazy action scenes.
There has not been emotional attachment from the audience to the car (an LP 400).
But there is nostalgia for others that are re not characters : Ghostbusters' Ecto-1, Batmobile (TV's series and Burton), Outatime DeLorean, the A-Team's GMC Vandura, Starsky & Hutch, The Fall Guy's GMC K2500 Sierra Grande, The Duke's General Lee Dodge Charger, Hardcastle and McCormick's Coyote (inspired by the McLaren M6A).
Still KITT is unique, and possibly the one with the most nostalgia of them all, as it was a character ... a witty character :)
@@gazorbo. Yeah but Automan was on right after Knight Rider. Plus they had a car AND a copter.
Don't you mean 'HAirwolf'? (Oh wait, maybe not!). LOL.
restoring 1984 talking view master records for Knight Rider historians 1 year ago was an absolute joy! I did it twice! with one having the booklet page beeps removed I'm still rather proud of that work.
So you should be 👍
I hope The Hoff accepts your invitation to take a ride and drive KITTesla! You've done a truly amazing thing and brought a piece of our childhoods to life too.
Thank you!
i get a little tearful when i see the return to original location segments as it reminds me of my childhood which i think we all have fond memories of.
I love everything about this channel, the original shooting locations, all the work you put into Kittesla, all of it. It’s very much appreciated
I was fortunate enough to meet the Hoff twice growing up in Hawaii. Once was when they were filming portions of the pilot episode of “BayWatch” (they had to film the underwater scenes in Hawaii instead of California, I assume because the water was warmer, and they used Makai Pier which my dad owned an engineering company on, and I was able to meet the Hoff while they were filming). The second time I met him was years later when they were using the same pier for an episode of “BayWatch Hawaii”. Very friendly guy.
Ahh The Hoff, what an absolute legend! And how cool to get him to film a piece for your intro. The pinnacle of KITTesla content, great work!
LOL you realize they just paid him through Cameo to do this. He is literally wearing the same shirt as in his profile.
Take a bow Christian, the boy from uk 🇬🇧 did good . ❤
Aw thanks! 🙇
12:40 Ha! You went there, we LOVE it! And thanks again for yet another shout-out...your videos just keep improving, just when you think they can't get any better! Thanks, Peri!!!
Always taking it to the next level! Un-frack-ing believable!
He should do this with an cybertoaster, I mean a cybertruck. The DRL would make a cool scanner
@@Kahnklingon84 Was Kitt actually a Cylon? 🤯
This is incredible! Not only did The Hoff make a cameo, but also you put the icing on the cake: You giving away you’re KITTelsa. I’m so glad that I found your channel. You have lived the dream that I always wanted and I can’t thank you enough for what you and your crew do on this channel. Even if I don’t win the Tesla, y’all have made me smile and shed a tear like a child. I can’t wait for more projects, surprises, and fun. One man can definitely make a difference
Tickets bought! It's been so fun watching your journey, and thank you for letting us all have chance at participating in the story!
Thanks for the kind words and support Jody!
Wow! The Hoff! What an honour that would be for you! I saw him once in person when he launched one of his books and signed in a bookstore here in Manchester. (only for a second, but as a German, this is like gold dust ;)).
Best show in YT worlwide !
Even the dog its so happy
Have to repeat myself: Love every minute of your Knight Rider stuff. Great modifications you did to the car, great editing and I mean… The Hoff?! Can it get any better. Well done, Perifractic!
A loooong time ago, as a conservationist working for the USDI - Bureau of Land Management, I designed, surveyed, and did the environmental clearances on the perimeter fence at the El Mirage OHV area. More than a few movies and TV shows the have been filmed there.
Retro Recipes, David Hasselhoff and K.I.T.T. Thank you!
I had a KiTT big wheel in 1986 I was the coolest cat on the block.
I wanted a KITT big wheel. I had a Green Machine Big Wheel. My Father bought a new car back then and to this day my Father still laughs about me asking him to take to the Car Dealership to trade it my Green Machine for a KiTT Big Wheel. I had BIG Dreams back then haha!
Every car I get now is all black exterior... with the exception of a Black and Red car I had.
A few of my friends in primary school had that, but I had the actual mini car version with 3 buttons that made noises with pedals!
Awesome :) Now a tesla EV engine into a Firebird body... You can DO it!!! :) I admire the passion behind these projects.
Since its only a V6, it could be EV too... Glad you keep the original! Kudos
"Self-driving cars kill more people."
KITTesla: "I certainly hope so!"
😂🤣
Imagine Kit Tesla driving in the highway and suddenly car stops and starts opening and closing doors, hood and trunk repeatedly and a loud voice coming from the car says “that was a big fart Kit!”😅
KITTesla looks amazing. You done a good job keeping the dream of Knight Rider alive. I’m 52 now and I grew up watching the series when it was first aired in the U.K. in 1982.
It’s a shame General Motors hasn’t come up with a modern day successor to the original Pontiac Trans Am. Whereas manufacturers like Porsche have cleverly rehashed the original 911 to look like a modern day Porsche but still looks just as good as the original. Not an easy task to achieve though.
Christian, your videos bring me so much joy and this one is absolutely no exception! Congratulations on what you've achieved with the conversion! Very very cool indeed!
Cheers mate!
The Hoff rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3m new subscribers from Germany incoming!
"Car will be in USA or UK at time of draw. Winner responsible only for all import duties." I'd enter if I knew it was going to be in the US (or knew an approximat import dutes" if it isnt) for the drawing. Absolute awesome job on the build though!
It's currently in California :)
@@RetroRecipes but at time of the draw... Hopefully after the draw, it will end up here in Ohio, im getting tickets monday :)
What an incredible finale! Great work team RR! ❤
I was going to enter the competition until I checked out the import duties. Ouch! Sadly I cant afford it ☹
It has been an honor and a privilege to watch this project evolve from the very beginning and watching it now ending.
We really need to put Tesla's tech into a Trans Am.
Maybe one Day, One Man will again Make a Difference.
Well, One Man and his Car.
May the next future owner of KITTesla have good times with it.
Wow. This was one of the most nostalgically entertaining series I have ever watched. Fantastic Job Everyone.
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹
It so needed the wrap.
we need to start a petition for a kittesla edition from tesla and universal
It looks amazing, congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The retro freeze frame intro was perfect.
You guys are just awesome. Thank you for the superb entertainment.
Cliff Richard still looks 21 😂😂😂 What an amazing high for Mr Knight to visit your channel 😎 I bet you found it difficult to turn that turn that yoke too far 😇😂🤣
This is soooo cool!!
Very nicely finished off. Great job. I didn't even realise how "grey" it was before the wrap. I knew it wasn't black but still looked ok. Love what you've done with the car.
Also as someone who is, shall we say "EV hesitant", I enjoyed listening to your counterpoints.
Don't Hassle the Hoff
Hoff 9000 (Kung Fury)
Kitesla was just missing the hand on the wheel when he pulled into the gas station!😂
I can’t afford a midlife crisis… so I live mine through yours. 😂
This is my third one!
@@RetroRecipes 🤣
Loved the 31 of February big screen launch date.
Tickets bought! Good luck to all who enter. Well done Perifractic on a great idea and a generous donation. Keep up the great videos 👍🏻
It's this kind of content that makes this one of the best channels on UA-cam.
Awesome work on this Fractic Family! I'm emailing Elon right now and telling him to start a production line of these!
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹
Nice to see The Hoff,can't believe how old he is looking.Hope all is well with him,he doesn't look to well.
I would change the voice box to a LLM (large language model) which knows everything about kit, and that pretends to be him. It would slow down the answer, but it would be so much more interactive… amazing work, as always! Such a cool thing to do, i love the series 😁👍 (PS: UA-cam guidelines say „Your contest must be free of charge to enter“, and the raffall site is…quite shady, at least if you check the sites that know these things. I hope you don’t get in trouble for this ticket selling…)
Almost there, wait until Grok, auto summon, and auto park are ready in the next few months.
Can't wait! I just got 12.3 and it's like a human. Truly incredible.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Well put together and had lots of funny bits too. Thank you. :)
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹
What a fantastic video! The world needed a video like this that explains the clear advantages of electric cars. 👍
So much misinformation out there sponsored by the old guard and oil barons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This series was amazing, thank you!
Thank you for the journey of KITTesla! what a amazing ride it's been!
Amazing my favorite TV show Kitt paved the way for Tesla and other Smart cars 💯👍🏾
Driving while reading a script, it’s the future!
I wasn't the one driving ;)
I love the dog Perri,so well behaved,not like my friends dog who goes beserk if she travels in a car.
Another fantastic video, beautifully made and great music.
You're living the dream mate and good on you.....and tickets bought.
Thanks and good luck!
Glad that there's plenty in the tank for future projects.
👍🏽🔥 - seriously cool. As a long time Model X owner many of the aftermarket additions, we Model X owners have had for awhile. I’m also a Huge Knight Rider fan - hence the black MX. keep it up!
Brilliant Peri, well done! Have loved this.
A great ending, but also a bit sad, but it has been a nice walk down memory lane. Even if alot of my Knight Rider memories are now being mixed up in my head with a fractic stand in.
the future: man killed by his own car through phone commands... how?! very slowly!
Always good to see David.
Only criticism about the action scene recreation: Need a bigger belt buckle. The belt buckle was as much a part of the Knight Rider team as was David and KITT.
Great job with the car! It's been fun watching the vision come to reality.
I couldn't afford one after all that work to the car!
Absolutely beautiful. It is wonderful to see the fandom carrying on into these days when reality can sort of match the dream of the original.
Hmmm... "Self Serve" is now an Arco. Interesting.
As for KITTesla's voice, we are entering the times when these ChatGTP's can be locally downloaded and run inside the car. And I'm somewhat sure that it is also possible to DeepFake William Daniel's voice locally. But that is just icing on the absolute beauty of this cake.
But the real icing on this cake would be to wrap KITTesla in what could be the closest thing we have to MBS... carbon nanotubes. This stuff is relatively new to our world and there is current applications still being figured out for the stuff. Which includes being used on bullet proof vests. It might work out very well on vehicles bodies to further resist those pesky flung rocks and such. But that idea is way over the top.
And... you mentioned black tint on the headlights. Which made me think of this stuff that's been around since the real show aired. (I learned about it in an Edmund's Scientific catalog.) I don't think it gets a whole lot of publicity (Do remember a spy movie using it inside an FBI set. They needed privacy and their clear walls fazed to solid black.) and is definitely in line with the show. I forget what it is called and would be a very custom job. But it works sort of like an LCD screen. In one mode, it's perfectly see through. In the other, the liquid crystal turns totally black. In a couple scenes, KITT & KARR's windows go totally black... and I've always wondered if they had tricked out the hero car with this stuff or if it was Hollywood magic. But with this stuff in place, you could easily black out the windows and headlamps on command. Granted, I can't remember if it goes black or clear when the electricity passes through it. Could be a major safety issue if it malfunctioned.
People like you with Passion
Makes this world a better place.
I loved all the way
Another brilliant episode Peri. The entire series was excellent, enjoyed every minute of it!
Thanks so much! Your support helped get it there
Glad to hear you re olanning on doing videos with your KITT trans am,can't wait for those.
Well that has been a bloody good journey to take with you! Been fantastic seeing it all. nice one mate
I was just watching the video imagening I had a lot of money and how much I could offer you for KITTesla and the raffle came up. Tickets bought. Could it really happen? What a dream. Congrats to whoever wins.
When I got my model 3 back in 2019, black was the default colour. I had to pay about £1500 extra to get grey. I really hope you didn't upgrade the paint to grey only to pay for a black wrap.
Yeah I regret not getting black to start with but this wrap is super slick and shiny so who knows which is best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@RetroRecipes I won't be complaining if I win the raffle 😃
Such cool videos. I am genuinely gutted this great adventure has come to an end. Still looking forward to the new Kitt videos:) yay
I am so happy now. I feel complete.
Someone else finally comprehends the February 31st joke.
You’re literally living all my dreams 😎
Absolutely awesome.. the Hoff looks so different. If it wasn't for his voice i wouldn't have recognised him
I know I've a tiny chance of winning...but having been a huge Knight Rider fan as a kid (what boy wasn't a fan in 80s?) I would love KITesla...so have a fiver!
The new wheel arches look so much better.
KITT and KITTesla driving side by side on the desert opener would be amazing!
car needs a turbo boost function. 🙌
and a super pursuit mode. 🏎️
and an a.i. llm with tpu so it can hold generative conversations while self-drivinga and ask it questions.
and possibly lidar for more scanner sensor detection.
I so lucky that I celebrate my birthday the 17th of July - same day as The Hoff 🥳
KITTesla is pretty snazzy. this channel is genuinely awesome 🤩
Thanks for all your hard work PF!! This video was awesome and I love KITTesla!
Cheers for that Fred!
Excellent content, as always. The smile on my face watching you recreate those scenes...top notch.
20:05 NICE usage of producer comments here! OOhh...and 21:10 THIS was just to much fun... I couldn't stop laughing!!!
Almost there boss.. KITT is bulletproof so need to armour it (level 9) and how about the hyper pursuit mode?? 🤔
You did amazingly 🤩😎
Wow. What a great finale for the KITTesla. With you raffling off that beautiful vehicle, you will never be Michael Kite again. 😢
It was great to see David Hasselhoff at the beginning of the video with his endorsement of your achievement. A wonderful video all around.
Well done Perifractic, and I'll be sad to see KITTesla go.
Just one question. How do the auto doors cope with supermarket car parks? Are there sensors to prevent them opening too far?
Thanks! Newer version has radar sensor. This one you just stop it with your hand on the handle like a normal door or by pressing brake. You can also preset the open distance for your garage etc.
@@RetroRecipesOkay, that sounds cool. KITTesla is a great vehicle.
You're genuinely a good person. Good job on the journey, seeing you enjoying it was very entertaining and moving, at times.
Awesome video like always
Huge thanks!
hope you didnt forget to tell the hoff you were in star wars!!😂😂😂😂
I don't like to talk about it
This channel needs more views totally underrated. Thank you for the awesome content
Holy crap, @RetroRecipes, you were just down the street from me when you filmed the gas station scene! I wish I'd been there to see that!
So great!!!
*New Subscriber* : The production quality of this video is excellent ! Very engaging ! I remember watching the pilot episode when it was shown in Ireland when I was 10 or 11. I was hooked ! To think years later I drove by El Mirage lake bed and never knew that was where the opening was filmed ! DOH!!!
What a great series and what a ride, can't wait to see what you have lined up for the Pontiac.
Certainly has KITT vibe with black colour and blacked out headlights, cool car. Can't really have two cars now, so hopefully someone else wins this car, who can take good care of it. Some time ago found Hotwheels grey Tesla Model 3, and it'll always remind me from your KITTesla :) I have Hotwheels KITT as well, so they're nice to display together ;)
plus I think the Import process could be complicated , tell me about Finland but in France importing from 2006 and newer can be difficult , now the Tesla 3 is sold in Europe so in theory its less troublesome to made it comply but stil...
@@TheQuirkyGarage1999Indeed importing outside EU would be a pain.
AWESOME!
3:02 - hol on for a sec, I gotta go listen to Enzo Margaglio. I'll be back in a sec.
Every time I watch these videos I want to have the KITT light on all my cars. 😀
