Maybe trying to keep license plates? It's was made a NEV because of the air bags. NEVs can operate on 35MPH roads and cross 45MPH road intersections. Of course current laws say NEVs have a top speed of 25MPH these days.
The Facebook post on Obscure Cars for Sale was absolute gold... I love the honesty and realism of TFL, not like so many other channels where every decision is perfect and every sale is a windfall...
OMG, love this format and theme. Please do a revisit summary story everytime a car leaves the fleet. Great way to create a summary (a story telling between two people). Incorporating all the past stories we've seen. Maybe a good way to use B roll that didn't make the original videos. Okay maybe not every car but the main ones :)
This is funny because I once had a Ram 1500 truck & I carried a bicycle in the bed everywhere I went because it broke down so much, & Nathan has a truck & trailer following him around.
I just saw another You Tube video from 3 years ago where the reviewer test drove the K27 at a top speed of 65 mph. That means this car can be jailbreak.
So this is it I guess... it feels like the end of an era. It was just yesterday when we were literally glued to our screens waiting for the next installment of the adventures of the amazing Kandi, exploding with emotions every time the mighty car made an appearance, and having so much fun every time the TFL team was fighting for their turn to drive this amazing piece of engineering... We will miss it. NAH, Im joking, glad you guys got rid of that crap! LOL
I guess it is cheaper than a new golf cart. It would work well in one of those gated golf club communities. Just stay away from roads with a posted 45 MPH speed limit or it will get run over.
One thing that they fail to mention is that youtube paid them probably well over $10,000 for all the views the video Kandi series got. Did TFL really lose anything on this purchase and sale? ... No ... not really.
$3000 for that is a lot considering you were afraid of it exploding and it couldn't operate after some water. RIP whoever bought that, I hope they live to see it scrapped.
I can't believe you only lost 2000 on that turd. You literally would have had to pay me to take it! I feel pretty sorry for the guy who bought it, but at least he got delivery included in his purchase.
You guys made every mistake possible while buying an EV, starting with buying a Kandi. 2nd mistake was not charging it before driving home. 3rd mistake was that the K27 is a city car, meant for short distances at lower speeds than usual outside of a busy city. For future reference, regardless of the type of EV, don't buy one that's been allowed to fully discharge & fully charge it before your ride home. You're lucky people didn't ask you for money to take the Kandi off your hands;) I would've loved to see you hack the top speed, & see how much it reduced the already silly range. So many lost comedic videos!
Nominate it for one of the worst cars you've guys ever owned. It was fun to watch but as others have said. I would never own one, for numerous reasons lol. 😅
I was waiting on a Jailbreak video where you guys overrode the limiter.....dang
Damn, same here. This series was hilarious, I was hoping for it to be jail broken and taken to the offroad testing grounds.
I don't think they have the skills to work on cars like that

This crew are reviewers, like the top gear guys. They couldn't actually do anything if you gave them tools and an instruction manual.
3k for a decent battery pack. Good deal for someone for making DIY PowerWall.
LOL jus dam.
Yeah, I can't remember what the kwh rating was, but it's gotta be higher than what bare cells would cost.

I am sad to see it go, because the videos were hilarious.
$3K for a car that you can say, drive 5-10 miles to work and back every day, is fantastic. Its terrible for the HWY, but great for an around town car.
Unless it snows or has torrential rains
This car makes a used Nissan Leaf look like a Toyota Century.
Hey Roman, you never made that video where you were going to blow up the Kandi 😂
Roman says he didn’t want to start an EV fire and burn down the ranch🤔
Should have sold it to aging wheels. He would make great content for this car.
Yes! He needs more junk
😂
There's like an 80% chance that he ends up owning this exact Kandi at some point.
Chinese electric car that nobody wanted; what could possibly go wrong?
Exactly I don’t feel bad for tfl
@@hostess365😂😂😂😂 I'm sure they are what YOU think.
😂 exactly!
Some people might want it for in-town or city driving. This car obviously isn’t meant for long distances.
@@Joshtheweatherman If it doesn't fit into THEIR lives, it's junk. Inbred gonna inbreed
Okay, but how much did you make on the video of the car? I bet you didn’t lose $2,500 on it
This thing is actually decent if you use it like one of those fancy "golf carts" that people drive on neighborhood streets.
Nathan doesn’t need his own show he just needs to always be a part of TFL.
Lmao . The show that tempts fate!
Candi series was better than the cheap Toyota series.
The best thing about TFL owning this Kandi car is that it created a lot of content for this channel, and it gives us a lot of laughs

Thanks for this series. This was a pretty fun disaster to watch.
In Clarkson's voice,
"what could possibly go wrong?"
Now that's just too funny. Nathan drives the Kandi to Denver with Andre behind him pulling a trailer. 😀🤣
Calling a couple slapped together cell phone videos a "Series" is kind of a stretch.. Dont ya think?
This is funny because I once had a Ram 1500 truck & I carried a bicycle in the bed everywhere I went because it broke down so much, & Nathan has a truck & trailer following him around.
It’s somewhere between a golf cart and the cheapest new ICE sedan. Perfect for downtown driving only. Thanks for showing it off to us!
Well, i hope the views were enough to cover the cost
I just saw another You Tube video from 3 years ago where the reviewer test drove the K27 at a top speed of 65 mph. That means this car can be jailbreak.
Kinda hoping it’d join the Aging wheels fleet

Sounds like this car had a bad BMS. It didn’t know where empty was, didn’t want to be fully charged…
LFP batteries need to go from 100% to 0% for the BMS to know the actual range. They have a very flat charge curve in the middle.
The new owner got a bargain!
The deal breaker is the restricted speed.
Apart from that the car makes perfect sense for a local commuter runabout!
glad you guys did the series on this lil golf cart! was fun to watch!

Usually when I buy really bad candy I just throw it away
Boo. It's too early for that type of humor.
This series went farther than the Candy ever did! xD
Frankly, I think the offer with a jar of pickles was generous. It was un-sold for a reason.
These are classed as "moped cars" in Europe, not real cars.
More like mopeds on 4 wheels.
$3000 for that is a lot considering you were afraid of it exploding and it couldn't operate after some water. RIP whoever bought that, I hope they live to see it scrapped.
Check out the Moke EV, if you can find one in your part of the country and tell us if anything about it seems a bit familiar to you.
Not surprised lol. It was a unique car and a series that was funny.
I'm so sad! I wish you modded it and made it a beast!
Aww, I miss it already. Those were some fun videos.
Thank you Tommy. No sarcasm.
The only place it should end if not junkyard would be on Aging Wheels channel but I think he’s too smart to spend 3K on that.
That Ram looks good towing anything.
LS swap that nugget would be hilarious
I am surprised it had the stones to make it up the trailer!
I think every car iv ever sold somebody offers to trade a z24. If you had to walk that 100 miles you would probably gladly take the 2500 hit
Selling it already?
Was expecting more from this "series".
Jailbreaking it etc.
I can't believe you only lost 2000 on that turd. You literally would have had to pay me to take it! I feel pretty sorry for the guy who bought it, but at least he got delivery included in his purchase.
I think we can all agree on bad decision.
What front bumper is on the RAM?
Was good for content. Should have taken it to Moab.😅
Have each host choose a car from the TFL fleet or one of their personal cars and take them to an auto cross for a big race battle.
Oh damn I liked the clown car Kandi videos

Sad, but all good things must come too an end!
Yeah, right.
There goes all of my patreon donations.
Aww poor Candy Car, it tried
If there's a gayer car I've never seen one.
I see a lot of buyers remorse with EVs in general
Clearly this isnt the future that was promised
I enjoyed these videos…..thx gents
Should have traded for the Harley.
It should've gone to Aging Wheels :/
I want Kandi!
said noone ever...
Personally appreciate the effort for entertaining content. Tommy, you gotta do better though 😂
I’m going to miss it
Okay - you've finally found a vehicle more unreliable than JLR. Congrats on the great funny Kandi videos *and* the sale!
I do not want an electric car right now, and I will not buy one made in China. I would not want this one no matter.
Bye kandi....... nice knowing you. If I every see one of you in person maybe. I think how cheap good you are.
eh 2.5k lost for some good laughs is well worth it hah
"Lost" - tell the real story about how much content you made....
I don’t know why I wanted to buy that car lol.
Nominate it for one of the worst cars you've guys ever owned. It was fun to watch but as others have said. I would never own one, for numerous reasons lol. 😅
❤❤❤
TFL bought the Candi because of Tommys love of weird vehicle's and lost Daddy's money.
Boooo
I would of told you guys, I'll take it off your hands if YOU pay ME $500.00. Do you see the irony? 😶
