Ur channel always makes me smile. Great content.!! I don’t have a tesla, but i became a fan when my friend was knocked unconscious when he was hit at high speed on the freeway. His 2017 model s limped to the emergency lane, parked and realized he had been in a serious crash and notified emergency services and notified him by text as he was coming awake. Seconds matter in a bad accident. This car literally saved his life. Its the features that most people never use or know about that really make tesla’s great to me.
You're a good teacher. You look like a guy I wouldn't want to piss off, buy when I listen to you, you come off more like a college professor. Great combo! Please tell your guest he was a good sport and made some insightful comments.
Thanks for the content. always very interesting to see the reactions. Gives a glimpse of future demand :) . Also you've got a great vibe. Coming from a French man, you really illustrate the good side of Americans: Open, welcoming and caring people. Keep it up.
All motors are magnetic. Model Y's and 3's are manufactured with DC permanent magnet motors, and the Models S and X are manufactured with AC 3-Phase induction motors. The difference is the inside axle of the S and X's motors are magnets, which are spinning opposite the outside housings charge. Inside the Y and 3, only the outside housing is magnetically controlled, and the inside axle of the motor is just a metal rod. Of course there are more differences, but that is what I find the easiest way to see the difference!
IIRC, the Model 3 front motor is also an induction motor. Reason for that is, when you're cruising at partial power, the front motor is completely off. No power, no resistance. A motor like the rear one will try to generate power even when it's just spinning along, so the induction motor is more efficient when not being used and less efficient when it needs to work. There's also a rather long but REALLY interesting video about the motors, I'll have to try to find it for you. An engineering professor basically explained everything in detail. *Clickety* found it: ua-cam.com/video/SRUrB7ruh-8/v-deo.html I think there's also a video out there about the front motor, but (I think) that's from Munro Live.
Not about the front motor but about the Plaid: ua-cam.com/video/4lGVimLK58g/v-deo.html When an automotive engineer makes statements like, "it's like Tesla invented some new physics or something" (at the 15:49 minute mark) I guess you're in for a ride... ;-)
@@TeslaBarbarian Also want to point out that a friction motor is the flywheel device they use in toy cars when you push the car a few times and then let it go.
6:32 - no transmission...which means no possible transmission failures, or maintenance. Still has a planetary set of reduction gears between the motor and half shafts, so it still uses Big Oil lubrication, with oil filter, but there isn't even a change interval for it because the change interval is so long. I have done 1 oil change in my LEAF, at 60K miles, and it was 1.6 quarts of ATF for $20. Not too shabby.
My understanding is that you need oil changes in an ICE car from the combustion process. It introduces all sorts of contaminants into the oil and you have to change out the dirty oil. In an EV the oil is sealed off and doesn't get contaminated. So, no oil change is necessary.
@6:43 yup, love hill/brake hold works on incline, up AND down, fwd AND reverse. PS Tesla doesn't have a parking paul per se, it is electronic parking brake (engages the actual rear disc brakes)... that's the "whiirrrr clunk" when you put in park. (Not sure what Parking brake long-press does on top of that, but the gear/transmission doesn't have a physical block.)
I would like to try to explain the regen braking in a bit more detail. Every electric motor can be turned into a generator. When letting off the accelerator, you are no longer supplying the motor with electricity (I am certain you know this). Yes, the cars momentum keeps the motor spinning. When generating electricity, there is a drag on the part that is spinning, do to "Equal and Opposite reaction" to the magnetic fields. The magnetic field that causes electricity to be generated, creates an opposing magnetic field as the electricity generating field collapses. Anyways. the opposing magnetic field is what slows the Tesla down. I think that once the vehicle comes to a complete stop the brakes are applied to hold the vehicle, even on an incline. (I could be wrong about that though).
Dave: Two additional comments for you. I too Love the HOLD feature in my M3 LR. It’s so important that whether you are on an incline or decline the HOLD feature works automatically. Secondly, I love the idea of using my iPhone as my car key. However, I always take my phone when I leave the car because the best feature of the iPhone is “ApplePay”. I use Apple Pay whenever I can. Your channel is one of the best out there on the internet. Keep up the great testimonials for buying a Tesla and the avid fan base everywhere. Suggestion: you might think of adding a question for Tesla owners as to if they have named their car. I have named mine Blue Starship.
I'm sure Joe would have liked to learn that, in Autopilot, he could set the speed and following distance, and get to "coast." Anyway, thanks for having guests who are smart and articulate enough to "get it" and be amusing.
I've watched enough of your videos to know something was off with the audio levels toward the end. Have a listen starting at 10min 15s and pay attention as it turns the corner on 20s. I run my headset through a small mixer and had to reach for the knob to turn it up to hear at that point, not a normal thing. I'm sure you can catch this in future editing passes if you add it to the checklist ;-)
My M3 has 84k miles and original brake pads and rotors, and plenty of pad life left. It's crazy to think how long these cars can go without needing a break job (150k+ miles)
I put the best brakes on my M3P and I 100% know I'll never need to change them for long as i own the car for 200k miles it will last easily, I'm SO use to the regen braking to the point I never use the brake pedal
LOL I appreciate every single subscriber and viewer we get! Thank you so much for watching! And keep speaking that "600,000 subs" into existence! It would be a dream come true!!
Love your vids! I gotta point out, there's actually only one "parking" mode. An electric motor clamps the rear brake when you press P at very low speeds. Holding P again for "extra park" is a myth :) You use the press-and-hold to stop the car in an emergency situation (do not try it on the highway, please!)
Another great one! yup, I joke about needing rides to sign a waiver, "owner not responsible for future $50k hole in your bank account after test driving my car, you might like it so much" ;-) @8:32 not just acceleration makes it safer, to get away from problems- but the instant/sub-conscious reaction for regen *braking* also, means fractions of seconds saved to slow down... I start feeling uneasy/uncertain re up ahead, my foot lifts up instinctively, start slowing. Even transferring foot to brake for hard stop, regen is already braking hard. Not to mention of course, AEB and/or AutoPilot were probably already either doing emergency braking or dodging even before I reacted.... my car dodge once in dual HOV lane, I wondered why- guy BEHIND me (blind spot) merged in too close when 2nd lane merged to mine, AP dodged him, I couldn't even see.
I am a Central Florida Public School teacher, and I have been looking at Tesla's since 2017. It is literally my dream car! The unfortunate part for me and my family is I don't make enough to purchase or even lease one of the Tesla cars. (That is until public teachers can make more money.) I know they are trying to get a Model 2 at a cheaper cost, but until that happens I will have to just keep watching your videos and dreaming of the day when I can finally get my own car. Keep making these great videos :) P.S. lf anyone knows of any raffles or contests where there is an opportunity to win a Tesla, please feel free to comment back. Any help achieving my dream is helpful.
Thank you for watching! I sincerely appreciate it! Here's a link to a raffle in which the prize is a Tesla Model 3: www.charitystars.com/sweepstake/win-a-tesla-3-performance
Regen -- think alternator for ICE cars is the simplest analogy (it charges 12v battery and keeps the 12v rail system going). Regen = $aving money on brake jobs!
I'll never be able to afford any Tesla car but I can verify every time I'd a Tesla as a rental car - it's always a joy to drive and brings a smile on your face.
A much cheaper slightly smaller version to be available in a couple yrs ($30k ish) and then there's the used market. Won't be long before most can afford a basic one.
You CAN absolutely afford it. Its cheaper than a toyota camry. "Hung by the tongue" . Speak your reality. You will if you want one. We're talking $30k.
What I would say as big argument from european perspective: be proud of that american product! It outsold every german car in their home market and other will follow.

Second month going with m3 , every day i find more about it. Cant wait for next day to drive again. Keep these comming.
I thought it would be worth mentioning to your new testers that the regen has multiple settings if one wants to let it coast.
this unfortunately doesnt apply for newer teslas. all you really have are creep settings
I always watch your videos to put a smile on my face. Great job!

quick note for you. the 3 doesnt have dragstrip mode. you are right about trackmode. plaid is only one with dragstrip mode
Thank you for clarifying!
When you use regen braking, do the brake lights come on for drivers behind you?
Yes 👍🏻

They do. When you let your foot off the accelerator past a certain point, the brake lights will turn on
And runs on 100% American made electricity. Not a drop of OPEC gas,
