"Not enough superchargers in L.A."- Girl we have none of them in my country Update: we have 2 now. Update 2: we have 5 now, damn Elon must have heard me.
If i did the same "see how many teslas you can spot in a minute" on a highway here in Oslo (Norway) i would probably reach 100. I swear at least 1 out of every 10 cars on the roads here is a Tesla it seems.
can somebody explain why would turn it off? I have the AC set on auto to the temperature all year long, so you just start the car and wait and that's it. No need to fiddle aroung with fan speeds etc. If it's not going full blast right away it means that there is no point in doing so. I really don't get it :P also, setting the temperature to LOW instead of 70 will not make the car cooler any faster...
I’m reaching out to inquire about a project. We are urgently in need of freelance ghost writer for our upcoming project ( Topic: LIFE PURPOSE ), please if any writer is here let us know if this is something you can handle and if you have availability to discuss further, willing to pay $1/word Looking forward to hearing from you!
Yeah this is really misinformed. Put it in neutral, turn off the wipers. Not exactly rocket science. I take my wife's though the wash all the time with literally no issues...
@@jamesmac6353 Brushless washes don't work well though. They're fine if you need to dust your car but at that point you could just spray your car with a hose.
price reductions on the car in general are usually due to improvements and refinements in the manufacturing process that make it cheaper to produce. so you guys who complain that you had to buy it for more, its because your particular car cost more to make, so deal with it. thats how most mass production products work. if i go buy an xbox the day it launches, its going to be more expensive then when its been out a few years. its just how things work. its the price you pay to have the latest and greatest.
Ah, I usually drive off after the 90 seconds it takes to refuel mine, then I have either 800 kilometer, or 900 kilometer, or sometimes 1000 kilometer range. That is 600 miles. Of course, sometimes it takes only 60 seconds to refuel, depending on how much is left.
@@LeGo-zk1xf they don't clean the brushes so it traps dirt and other junk from other cars. You'll get swirl marks by going to an automatic car wash that uses brushes.
Haters can hate on this girl, but I thought she did a pretty darn good job of describing a lot of nit-picky things that some of us would like to know about. I gave her a TU. Good job girl.
@@joeking433 lol 💚🙂 True that. I got a order for a model 3. I think it is the best electric car out there. BUT that does not mean it is a great car. Its a good car.
Good video! Some feedback: 1. Superchargers really should only be used for long road trips and not really tooling around town but given you charge via a standard outlet can see the need for a quick fill. But as an owner with in apartment charging, I would not own a tesla if I couldn't charge at home or at least at work. 2. Regarding car washes, those micro scratches will happen with any car even with hand washing. Black unfortunately makes them stand out more but if you wax your car twice a year they should cover those right up! 3. For the AC, if you weren't aware if you hold down the fan button it'll turn on/off the AC without you having to go into the pull up menu. So really just hold down button and lower temp to whatever you are at and keep AC on auto. I find its worked wonderfully for me. good video!
@@MichaelWellman1955 hey let's not be mean Tesla owners. Tesla pitches them as a fast way to charge. Unless you dive into articles and forums or Internet comments it's easy to see why someone might think that's just how you charge (had a friend investigating Tesla's unaware of it as well)
Shelby Church (after some days): How my Tesla made more money than it cost where she will explain about the revenue she generated from the Tesla videos 😅😂
One of my first thoughts as well, actually a really good idea. If she averages a million hits on each video, assuming she is monotizing her videos, she needs to make between 15-20 videos and the car is paid for.
@Joey Diaz I'm confused. I own a Tesla. LA has some of the highest taxes in the country and the most unfriendly business state (Note recent news of high-level companies departing.) I kindly encourage reflection on your diligence and professionalism when commenting on matters and people you have no insight into in life moving forward.
@@imbenmeyer LA is expensive to live in because it has so much to do lots of restaurants beaches tourist locations of course it gonna be expensive it has a larger population than Texas if you are unhappy with the high taxes live elsewhere or stop whining
@@juicebocx4217 I'm not whining. I'm a grown man. I don't whine. As with my previous response to the gentleman @joey diaz, he didn't respond when I confronted him with an articulate, educated message in response to his off-color comment. Lets see if you have the professionalism to acknowledge when one is mistaken: Witty, one-off reactive comments aren't well thought out typically. First, I'm confused by your comment. I did move from LA after a decade of living there. I encourage you to always ask questions before responding in life. It's professional. Even artists should know that. Secondly, you say the population of LA is greater than texas. Are you comparing a city and a state? If so I'm confused. Texas has a population of over 20 million. LA has only 8.5 million. What city are you referring to? Or, did you think Texas was a city? I can think of a dozen cities with restaurants, some have beaches, and tourist locations. Miami, Washington DC, Boston, Las Vegas, Denver, Atlanta, the coasts of North/South Carolina.
As tech. improve and they scale up, they are able to sell for less money, that's good because more people can afford it.

The AC isn’t an issue. Put it on “auto” and all you have to do is change the temp, which you can do as a voice command so you don’t have to look at the screen at all 👍🏻
Let me tell you this...I was homeless for 16 years as a refugee. 10 days after coming to the US, I bought myself my dream car Tesla. So, know that if you keep working hard, you will get there!
This video kinda swayed me out of buying a Tesla. For me personally those down sides like the easy scrapes and the thing about the tires.. that is kind of a big deal for me. Buying a car that can only be hand washed? And I live in the desert... yeah no
You can take it to a car wash and have a machine do it but it has the same issue as ant other car meaning if you're trying not to get the swirls in your paint then you have to do things to protect it better. It doesn't matter if it is a regular car or a Tesla people recommend getting the clear protector professionally installed. But if you're swayed against a Tesla then keep your ey on the EV market because over the next year there are going to be some cool ones coming out.
Dude, she's driving a Tesla, not a Lamborghini. Tesla's aren't even that expensive. There are Fords that are more expensive, and you save more money with Tesla's because they don't use gas.
Matthew Huszarik good 2 know. I live in a 3rd world country ( Vietnam) where law makers/politicians only care about their wallet not the environment. So the whole country has less than 10 Tesla/E.V. And our top cities are even more polluted than Chinese ones... so sad

All car dealerships price their cars differently every single day depending on negotiating skills of the customers. Tesla just does it so transparently and doesn’t change price depending on person
kip meneer still worth it in the Netherlands. You can go max 100 km/h on the highway, so performance isn’t really needed + you can go from any province to Amsterdam and back with the long range.
I have the SR+ and sometimes wish I had gotten the long range and then remember the cost difference. For me, the additional 70 miles isn’t worth it. I recently drove from Atlanta to Miami and had no issues with charging/finding chargers. The trip cost me $5.60 in tolls and $0 in charging.
I'm guessing it is because a lot of U.S. car washes require the car to be in Neutral gear so that it rolls through the car wash on a conveyor belt like system.
Yeah, from the manually the import thing is that the carwash be touchless: "Caution: If washing in an automatic car wash, use Touchless car washes only. These car washes have no parts (brushes, etc.) that touch the surfaces of Model 3. Using any other type of car wash could cause damage that is not covered by the warranty."
It's a liability to Machine car wash places in risk of the car going on fire. Therefore, they are only allow per the car wash insurance they can only perform hand wash.
Wow, I mean... it is not even allowed to wash your car by hand on the street in The Netherlands. So you have to powerwash and hand wash your car. Weird. Also you have rollover carwashes, your car is stationary and the carwash rolls back and forth over your car. Also not allowed? Man, they must really have no faith in the paint job on that Tesla...🤨
Most people don't use superchargers regularly, they charge at home where they park for the night. If you couldnt do that, I dont think you should get a tesla.
Right and she makes it sound like there’s always a wait at the supercharger around the world . Wrong. Just bc she lives in Los Angles one of the busiest and overcrowded city in the US.
@@Anonymous-if9mp so why is she complaining about the lack of superchargers? for she lives in LA so she can recharge it everynight at home and not take someone's spot at SC that needs it more than her
I worked at tesla for four years. There’s no need to hand wash. That’s a lie but they are prone to water leaks especially in the trunk, left side and the front firewall. The touchscreen does get annoying when trying to do simple tasks. A few knobs would be nice, like a/c or just changing the radio. When the wheel caps were first put on we thought they were just covers to protect the car during manufacturing cause the wheels underneath looks so much better. We were shocked to find out they were actually part of the car.
It's basically shallow people with very little clue on outside world and lack of education really. Their opinions come from echo chambers like FB, Twitter, Reddit etc.
White was 1000 dollars extra and black was included in price. That´s why she chose black color. And she was complaining that after she bought Tesla the colour pricing went around. She would wanted white, but did´t want to pay extra 1000 dollars.
Red is a 2500 upgrade. I chose Grey but cancelled delivery when a Blue became available. Blue is superb with dark tint. White looks very plain, Black is high maintenance
Superchargers are essentially “abused”. They’re really for long distance trips. People have free supercharging and they’re using them for every day driving. Really I don’t think EVs are for people who can’t charge where they live (yet). That being said the stations around Charlotte where I live hardly have more than 2 or so cars at any given time.
@Jen I can't charge at home, but where I live (Amsterdam SouthEast), chargers are quite far away. The government will probably install one here eventually, but not this year. So @Stephan for me superchargers are actually a once a week affair out of necessity and time restraint
@@Leispada Tesla chargers are a service you paid for already! Twice. When you bought the car and when your taxes subsidised the company's existence. Tesla is a company not a convent of charitable marthyrs. Think a little dude. Don't be such an exploitable fool.
Your Tesla Model 3 is “not” restricted from use at a drive through carwash. You simply need to place the car in “neutral” to allow it to roll on the conveyor at the carwash. To put your car in “N” (neutral) you need to use the right stalk. Hold it in the up position for two seconds and your screen will indicate “N” and you can roll into any carwash. Problem solved! 😉 Also, it’s not your fault that you got curb rash on your wheels while parking. I did the exact same thing and I realize now that it’s because the backup cameras give you a false impression of how close you actually are from the curb. If you want it removed, I found a reputable guy that does mobile rim repairs. He charged me $100 and it literally looks like it never happened. Keep up the excellent UA-cam posts! Perhaps I’ll see you at a local Supercharger. 😊

Definitely a lot of Tesla’s in LA. We make a game of counting them. Just took a trip to Sams Club in Torrance and counted 16 during our 3.9 mile trip (our Tesla not included)
We’ve had zero maintenance costs. No oil to change, no belts, etc... Definitely cheaper than Ny gas powered cars. With regenerative braking the brakes last forever. So far we’ve only charged it an filled the windshield washer fluid a couple times. It’s been amazing!,
You Wish no radiator so no coolant but tires eventually. Never had any issues and can’t see brake fluid ever being an issue since mostly you use the regenerative braking. It’s an amazing car an we will never again not own a Tesla. We have a gas powered vehicle also, but the Tesla is by far the best car we’ve ever owned
MrLM002 or get a model S or X with air suspension. You can raise and lower any time and eventually it remembers locations where you raise and it will do it automatically
I had driven more than 5,000 miles with Tesla especially 3,000 well Tesla tomorrow 3 different versions. Other than all of the points you talked about, One thing I hate is the sunroof that cannot be closed when wanted especially under the hot sun. My family was complaining on the trip from LA to San Francisco under the 2:00 p.m. sun. They just don't like a giant sunglass when we could simply close it like a Volkswagen ID4 or most of the cars that are being made with a panoramic roof it will be able to have an option to shut the glass fully.
Rookie Budget Fishing isn’t it the outside of the car that just can’t deal with the pressure washers and everything? Sorry I don’t know cars I’m just confused
Molly I would think if the paint is that bad then yeah that makes sense. But my train of thinking is that maybe because of all the collision sensors and the fact that it requires the car in neutral to drive thru it that presents an issue...
I use an express wash (H2Go to be precise) and it works just fine. Dunno why people think it has to be hand washed. Maybe cause they think Tesla owners are rich and gullible?
@@carloscruz7317 there's nothing about the sensors that makes car washes an automatic no go. And neutral isn't any different than any other car if you have your seat belt on. Now, if it's a car wash where you don't ride through in the car, you're right it is a little different then.
Hey Shelby, did you get and download the latest update? My 3 got Version 2019.40.50.7 recently - Guess what? NOW we can control HVAC and wipers and even open the glovebox by VOICE! - It's very cool. The release notes for the update tell us a few commands it can do - but owners are discovering lots of things that Tesla didn't even tell us about - LIKE THE WIPER CONTROLS! - All by voice! Please tell your viewers that Tesla sends us lots of firmware updates over the air and our cars are constantly getting better and cooler! - I'm having fun with My Model 3 just experiencing new voice commands every day....Maybe I can press the steering wheel button and say: "Buy me a Hazelnut latte!" and it'll do it?!
I've noticed that with a high gloss finish, once a car has gone through a couple of passes with the spinning brushes, there are zillions of little scratches from the ends of the bristles. In the car washes which just have the strips of soap filled cloth, not so much, but dirt lodged in the cloth can leave scratches. OK, OK, OK, you won't see them from a couple of feet away, but they are cumulative. I just go to the local hand sprayer, rinse with the "deionize" water, and give it a rinse and chamois when I get home. How long will I do this? Don't know. Haven't bought a new car since 1970. Guess it's just new car fever. I will do the uber hand wash and put the ceramic coat on it, though. That deep shiny red is awful purty.
Daniel Meade it's because it's Black. Black is the softest paint, unless it's a metallic Black. The fibers will scratch it easily, even white after 50+ car washes will show fine scratching.
@@2SenseChannel Tesla is the one and only using pure waterbased paint. It's very good for the environment, but is has multiple disadvantages. quote: (www.quora.com/Why-does-Tesla-use-water-based-paint) "For very good reasons: Waterborne paints are cleaner for the environment. Waterborne paints are the healthier option for workers. Waterborne paints are often less expensive. Get a high-gloss finish without additional coats required for solvent-based paints. Waterborne paints are very durable." So, normal paint has a clear coat, which protects the actual paint from scratching etc. If you have scratches, you polish the car (the clear coat it is), and they are gone. Since the Tesla does NOT have clear coat, all scratches are in the very thin paint (100 micron), and very hard to polish them out, since the paint is so thin. Therefore it is adviced to put a ceramic coating on top, to protect the paint. Excuse my English, i'm Dutch.
I agree, for sure. I just make sure I am in a spot where I can safely remove my eyes from the road. Thankfully we live in a very large county (King) so plenty of places to do that or I will pull over somewhere, unfortunately most don’t think this way which is evident by the amount of people still playing on their phone while driving! This was something I took into consideration when we agreed to purchase ours, oh and it is nice when your techy kid can start sitting in the front to help😁
I agree, and it's obvious they were just too cheap to create controls like in normal cars and instead just rely on software and a single cheap screen for it all. I'd rather have a car that has both a normal dash and quick controls on steering wheel as well as a touchscreen for media, settings, navigation, watching porn, etc.

I disagree. Cars themselves have never been the problem. Ever. Humans are the problem. Automakers need to stop making cars for humans and do like Elon and prep for the future. The touchscreen in Model 3 isn’t designed for controlling the car. It’s design to provide entertainment as soon as the Full Self Driving package is ready and approved.
for the AC part, you could use the voice and say something like "18 degrees" and the car would turn on the AC and set it to 18 degrees no matter what temperature it was at, which could be done easily while driving. Saying "warmer" or "cooler" would set the AC 1.5 degrees up or down. This works on the wiper and side mirrors too.

Energy is cheap although it can be higher than others in some areas. We use a lot of energy just leaving things plugged in and waste a lot throughout the year as Americans
Tends to be 1/4-1/5 the cost of what you were paying for gas and you no longer need oil changes twice a year. Some states have more expensive electricity then others though. I believe usa average electricity cost is 0.13$/kWh so if your area is near an eqaul cost or has off peak charging your going to save significant amounts.
I like the lowering of the prices it means they can make everything better for cheaper allowing more people the ability to experience a Tesla and thus getting closer to there goal of pushing the world away from gas and it’s bad emissions not just giving wealthy people a new luxury car
It's not as green as people think. All the electricity to charge the thing is from non renewable sources like coal. Also think of how bad the line to charge will be with hundreds of people waiting an hour to charge their car.
That's the goal But to get to that point, Elon needs to build huge factories with rich people's money so they can produce a cheaper model After the cybertruck and the roadster, I'd imagine the next budget car will be more affordable Unfortunately, it takes some time to make new technology affordable for us regular people

@LotusLambo hey if you can wash your own car more power to you but many of us do not have that option. Do what's best for you and the car. End of the day, no perfect world.
here's a blunt version of this video if you're considering buying a tesla: - if you don't have the convenience of home charging, then EVs should be reconsidered. you're wasting time (and money) if you have to rely on supercharging or public chargers. that's not to say that it's not doable, but be aware of how much time you'd be wasting if you have a 9-5 job with no work or home charging. time is money. - use ONR and the 2 bucket method when washing your car. it's fast, efficient, and sustainable. and don't buy a black car because swirl marks and scratches can be seen easily. - price changes are inevitable. no one gets mad when dealerships change their prices on an hourly basis but when tesla does it everyone goes crazy???
If a person lived in an apartment and was thinking of getting an EV they should download the Plugshare app and look for charging spots near them. I have Superchargers North, South, and East of me. Two are at grocery stores and the third is at a casino with restaurants. There are four destination chargers near me that I have never used. One shopping mall near me now has 8 free level 2 chargers and another one has 4. There is a parking garage with a bunch of chargers, but only the first 30 minutes is free, and two nearby hospitals, a grocery store and a pharmacy have chargers where an hour will get you 40 miles and cost a dollar or so. For non Tesla people, Electrify America has recently built fast chargers at my local Target and a nearby Walmart. Tesla people could buy a Chademo adapter, and European Tesla people can buy a CCS adapter to use non-Tesla fast chargers. I charged my car at my Mom's house from a wall outlet when I was on vacation. It's all about how creative a person wants to be. Definitely easiest to charge at home while you are sleeping, or at work.
I charge mine at a super charge solely. It charges 4 miles per hour at home and I've got to run a long extension cord from the outlet to my car. So it isn't practical for me. I've had my car since September and I make it a habit to go to the super charger once a week. I live in LA . I have now learned the best times to go to the charger closest to my house to where I have little to no wait time, after a while it isn't so bad. I just head there with a book or something else to keep me occupied.
im amagining a huge vehicle coming out of the sky into my house. not a good thought.or someone who cant find a parking spot trying to park on the roof. they would have to idiot proof it, because only takes a few to ruin it for everyone.

I'm pretty sure we will have small plane like vehicles. Something people never talk about is, How will the traffic management work if everyone was allowed to have and fly one of these things. lol

You can get Wheel Rash Rings they are very discreet and stick out just past the edge of your rims and come in different colors black, blue and red being the most common. When you hip a curb you scrape the ring instead of destroying your expensive rims and they should be standard equipment on all cars.
You have the 18 inch Aero wheels. Switch to the 19 inch performance wheels and they will raise your car by 1/2 inch, 20 inch wheels will raise you car 1 inch. Do either one of these modifications and your car will no longer scrape.
@LotusLambo 235/45/18 vs 235/45/20 will not have the same height ratio. Maybe you should do your research before you post. There are different size tires that can be purchased and a 235/45/20 will not give a harsh ride like a low profile 235/30/20 tire.
@LotusLambo It is 235/30/20 and here is a link tiresize.com/tiresizes/235-30R20.htm What you fail to have any intelligence on is that she cannot continue to scrape her battery pack on the incline. In all EVs the battery pack is the most expensive part of the car. Raising the car 1 inch by installing 235/45/20 tires could possibly save her thousands in repairs. The price for a Model 3 battery pack start at $8,000 and up. If she has passengers in the car when it scrapes it will be worse. Since your utter stupidity and lack of any common sense seems to elude you here is another link to educate yourself. Go there and type in 235/45/18 and 235/45/20 tiresize.com/comparison/ You will see that the 235/45/20 is 2 inches taller than the 235/45/18 but since the wheel hub is in the center of the wheel that makes it 1 inch taller. I cant fix stupid but I can try.
Just a heads-up regarding the car washes.. don't use automatic ones even when you can. They will destroy your paint with scratches. The bristles never get washed and they get full of debris that scratches your paint on contact.
@@dustey_4553 Google swirl marks on car paint.. shine a light on your paint in the dark and see if you have any. It's likely it's not too bad after just once, but over time it will dull your car's paint and cut through your clear coat. If it's bad and you want to get it fixed, contact a detailer and enquire about a polish. They will be able to advise on proper car care 😊
As someone who’s owned the car for a year I just want to clarify two things. You don’t need a hand wash every time. Normal car wash works just fine but a hand wash is better on the paint. Also, waterless wash doesn’t scratch your paint. Are you dropping the towel on the ground and picking up dirt? Don’t use a towel that’s been on the ground to wash your car. Lastly, you can easily just click the scroll wheel and say “turn on AC” or “set AC to lo” and it will do it all without you needing to do anything on the screen
Kristian Halvorsen Maybe. It’s only supposed to have about an inch more ground clearance. So, it may are may not be enough to completely solve her issue. The roof is much taller so there is room to put the seats on risers so you sit taller inside it and ride higher, but the actual space outside underneath the Model Y isn’t going to be much more than a Model 3.
Just a trait of the California English dialect lexicon... The up inflection is called a high rising terminal and has a number of pragmatic uses, including confirming that the interlocutor follows what is being said and indicating that the speaker has more to say. The word "like" is used as a discourse marker to allow time to formulate what to say next. All typical traits of the southern california 'valley girl' regional accent. Just like how New Englanders have their own unique accent of English, but that doesn't make anything 'wrong' about it.
@@wyndstormsage728 Ah, I think you must be the reincarnation of Henry Higgins the phonetics professor from 'My Fair Lady'. I'm not as bombastically dogmatic as Henry, I'm not saying these traits are wrong, just annoying (especially when spoken by 'valley girls'). Anyway, thanks for the analysis :-)
@ In that case "like" is being used as a as a colloquial quotative, which is used to indicate that what follows is not necessarily an exact quotation of what was said, but captures the meaning and intention of the quoted speech. The speaker is indicating that they may or may not have literally said those words. It's also known as quotation through simile. But if all they literally say is "I was like", without anything after, then that would just be an incomplete sentence.
@@gameworkerty …. in The Valley. 'They' should have kept it there. The current "buzzword" I believe, is "containment", but I fear it's too late. It has now spread world-wide on the wings of trash TV and films. You said a pragmatic use was "confirming that the interlocutor follows what is being said and indicating that the speaker has more to say". However, I would suggest this shows a lack of confidence in the speaker, and from what I have read and seen reported in Global media, lack of confidence is not the American way.
Maybe the Car Wash people she is talking to are confusing it with a Model S or X which do have aluminium bodywork. From my understanding the Model 3 has a more conventional steel body.
Le Go How is stating a fact "ignorance”. A Tesla battery catching fire is about as likely as a lead acid battery making your driveway awash with battery acid. Or maybe both statements are ignorant? You choose LOL.
Audidude not true in austria 3! Of them burned to the ground and now they dont know what to do with the wrecks because the destroyed battery is so dangerous and there is no place to dump it
Thanks for this, great analysis. Probably worth forwarding on to Tesla, if they haven't already seen it. Once you can buy a Tesla for under $25K then I will buy one, I will wait until the year 2 version so they have worked out any possible problems with the initial production.
You’re lucky, Tesla owners are all early adopters. So yeah in the future these cars will be cheaper for the rest of society and you can be salty or you can realize we had to wait forever to just get these cars, I want a Tesla so badly.
Matthew Aniston True, the law of supply and demand also applies to the energy industry. Solar is not a reliable source of electricity. Wind kills birds like bird strikes on jet turbines. Hydroelectric is not enough. Hydrogen needs a mature infrastructure just like how fossil fuel has matured. Currently, the only source of energy that is enough to cover the energy demand, sustainable, is nuclear energy. Some sources do state that hydrogen can be extracted from nuclear waste; not sure how. However, environmentalists are pretty much against nuclear energy. As far as the vehicle itself, Tesla vehicles are just one of the options to achieve a better fuel efficiency compared to gas/ICE powered vehicles.
Matthew Aniston, Hydrogen is not the answer. All Hydrogen powered cars have an electric drivetrain with fuel cells to convert the hydrogen to electricity. It is way less efficient this way than a straight electric car. And there is no hydrogen infrastructure. It has no hope of catching up with the exponential increase in EV charging station installs.

Current sources of energy for the power plants includes a combination of what I have mentioned. Outright stating that hydrogen has no hope is denying the advancement of technologies which is not good for any civilization at all. That type of thinking is a dangerous one. As I have stated, hydrogen infrastructure needs to mature. Other countries are developing new ways to produce energy for vehicles and not being dependent on just fossil fuels and electricity (EV).
@@lxmedia3911 hydrogen is energy storage not production. Electric vehicles can be powered by any source. solid state batteries are right around the corner, hydrogen simply has very little hope of gaining traction in the consumer market. Hydrogen electric vehicles create another maintenance item, needing to replace air filters for the fuel cells. Trucks, ships, planes, there Hydrogen have a place. And yes it is cleaner to drive electric! after accounting for inefficiency in charging the batteries, the vehicle as a whole is over 80% efficient. then there is only about 5% energy loss in power transmission from generation to destination. www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=105&t=3 Then it is up to the efficiency of the power generation. Whereas gas cars are ~40% efficient at best (hybrid). And the diesel to transport the fuel and energy to convert crude to fuels.
@@danwat1234 There you go again! You are navigating away from the issue of, "where do you get all those electricity to supply to everyone?". I'll just copy and paste because it seems you are avoiding that single fact...Bottom line is you need a source of sustainable and reliable energy to power those EV charging stations. Current sources of energy for the power plants includes a combination of what I have mentioned. You need a "fuel" or a means to produce electricity. Same is true for EV. Electricity does not magically appear. It needs to be produced.
When ever I purchased a car I always installed a protective film over the car even if the car has protective paint ... it always helps with debree and scratches on the car
Why you are stuck stopping every like 300 miles to Charger car in a road trip I will refill with gas within a couple minutes and be on my way to the destination lol
Dude, there’s a charging station in the Macy’s parking lot in Sherman oaks.. not sure why it didn’t show up. But if that one didn’t show up, most likely there are probably others too.
I feel like they could be up selling you with the whole you need to hand wash it. I go to a drive through wash (soapy joes) and haven’t noticed any scratches or anything wrong with the paint. I’ve had my model 3 since June of 2019, so roughly 7 months now and paint still looks new. Just my thoughts
Could be upselling but it is very likely it is getting scratched. Paint swirls are a minor detail and many people will never even notice it. It happens to every car and you will see it if you look across the surface with a light or when it is sunny. People notice it on teslas because it is a topic often brought up
Any car will get swirls by using the drive thru wash. It's a fantasy to think that Tesla's require more careful washing. They don't, unless you want your Tesla to have a new car finish forever. Might as well not drive it at all. That will keep the paint looking fresh!
@Shelby about the road rash, I also did it to my model 3 that I bought in December after two weeks of owning it. I was able to fix it for about $60 by using a Kit from amazon. It takes about an hour and it should look as good as new. Especially if you get a color that matches the wheels. And the kit can be used many times so it is worth the money. But of course I didn’t do it again because I am aware of the design flaw of the wheels at this point. And I also installed a 240v plug in my garage for about $70 plus $35 adapter for the model 3 charger. You will be able to top off the battery in about 4 to 5 hours. Best of luck

price reductions on the car in general are usually due to improvements and refinements in the manufacturing process that make it cheaper to produce. so you guys who complain that you had to buy it for more, its because your particular car cost more to make, so deal with it. thats how most mass production products work. if i go buy an xbox the day it launches, its going to be more expensive then when its been out a few years. its just how things work. its the price you pay to have the latest and greatest.

Good video! Some feedback:
1. Superchargers really should only be used for long road trips and not really tooling around town but given you charge via a standard outlet can see the need for a quick fill. But as an owner with in apartment charging, I would not own a tesla if I couldn't charge at home or at least at work.
2. Regarding car washes, those micro scratches will happen with any car even with hand washing. Black unfortunately makes them stand out more but if you wax your car twice a year they should cover those right up!
3. For the AC, if you weren't aware if you hold down the fan button it'll turn on/off the AC without you having to go into the pull up menu. So really just hold down button and lower temp to whatever you are at and keep AC on auto. I find its worked wonderfully for me.
good video!

As far as the Air conditioning goes you could just control it with your voice and the button on the steering wheel.

YES!!!! They aren't meant for road trips not your daily use. No sympathy for having to wait an hour to charge
@@MichaelWellman1955 hey let's not be mean Tesla owners. Tesla pitches them as a fast way to charge. Unless you dive into articles and forums or Internet comments it's easy to see why someone might think that's just how you charge (had a friend investigating Tesla's unaware of it as well)
Shelby Church (after some days): How my Tesla made more money than it cost where she will explain about the revenue she generated from the Tesla videos 😅😂
lol
One of my first thoughts as well, actually a really good idea. If she averages a million hits on each video, assuming she is monotizing her videos, she needs to make between 15-20 videos and the car is paid for.
I'm pretty sure the money she's made from her Tesla videos have more than covered the cost of the car. Maybe.
Graham stephan did exactly this. His tesla videos generated enough money to pay for the Tesla
In summary: buying a Tesla and living in Los Angeles is like trying to earn more money and living in Los Angeles - defeats the purpose.

@Joey Diaz I'm confused. I own a Tesla. LA has some of the highest taxes in the country and the most unfriendly business state (Note recent news of high-level companies departing.) I kindly encourage reflection on your diligence and professionalism when commenting on matters and people you have no insight into in life moving forward.

@@juicebocx4217 I'm not whining. I'm a grown man. I don't whine. As with my previous response to the gentleman @joey diaz, he didn't respond when I confronted him with an articulate, educated message in response to his off-color comment. Lets see if you have the professionalism to acknowledge when one is mistaken:
Witty, one-off reactive comments aren't well thought out typically.
First, I'm confused by your comment. I did move from LA after a decade of living there. I encourage you to always ask questions before responding in life. It's professional. Even artists should know that. Secondly, you say the population of LA is greater than texas. Are you comparing a city and a state? If so I'm confused. Texas has a population of over 20 million. LA has only 8.5 million. What city are you referring to? Or, did you think Texas was a city?
I can think of a dozen cities with restaurants, some have beaches, and tourist locations. Miami, Washington DC, Boston, Las Vegas, Denver, Atlanta, the coasts of North/South Carolina.

The AC isn’t an issue. Put it on “auto” and all you have to do is change the temp, which you can do as a voice command so you don’t have to look at the screen at all 👍🏻
Just keep the fan icon press for 2 seconds and the AC will turn on. If you want to turn it off just repeat the same process.
ah cool i did not see this when i was complaining about voice command. still need voice for my subaru though
Kennet Silva If you have it on auto, you don’t need to do this. It’s always “on”. Just change the temp to what you need via voice command.

Let me tell you this...I was homeless for 16 years as a refugee. 10 days after coming to the US, I bought myself my dream car Tesla. So, know that if you keep working hard, you will get there!
This video kinda swayed me out of buying a Tesla. For me personally those down sides like the easy scrapes and the thing about the tires.. that is kind of a big deal for me. Buying a car that can only be hand washed? And I live in the desert... yeah no
Yea, having to pay someone twice a week to hand wash your car seems excessive to me
You can take it to a car wash and have a machine do it but it has the same issue as ant other car meaning if you're trying not to get the swirls in your paint then you have to do things to protect it better. It doesn't matter if it is a regular car or a Tesla people recommend getting the clear protector professionally installed.
But if you're swayed against a Tesla then keep your ey on the EV market because over the next year there are going to be some cool ones coming out.

Not sf
Look at Tesla.com/supercharger the map shows about a dozen now with a couple more dozen coming this year. No doubt more next year.
It has a lot. But there is a large concentration there like 1 to 100 as opposed to 1 to 10 in smaller cities
If you’re buying Tesla you need long range. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Not if your in a small country
kip meneer still worth it in the Netherlands. You can go max 100 km/h on the highway, so performance isn’t really needed + you can go from any province to Amsterdam and back with the long range.
I wish man, but that’s an extra $10k. Planning on getting SR+ for now, and then splurging on the Cybertruck.
I have the SR+ and sometimes wish I had gotten the long range and then remember the cost difference. For me, the additional 70 miles isn’t worth it. I recently drove from Atlanta to Miami and had no issues with charging/finding chargers. The trip cost me $5.60 in tolls and $0 in charging.
Optimistically Negative then just buy a gas car lol if time is money. Only 1-2 minutes to fill up
Did you notice that electric car salesman seem to target women more than men ? .. I wonder why that is ?
Hand wash only? Tesla's in The Netherlands go in the carwash all the time...
I'm guessing it is because a lot of U.S. car washes require the car to be in Neutral gear so that it rolls through the car wash on a conveyor belt like system.
Yeah, from the manually the import thing is that the carwash be touchless:
"Caution: If washing in an automatic car
wash, use Touchless car washes only.
These car washes have no parts (brushes,
etc.) that touch the surfaces of Model 3.
Using any other type of car wash could
cause damage that is not covered by the

@@JacobRochester0 I don't think your car is gonna get damaged.
It's a liability to Machine car wash places in risk of the car going on fire. Therefore, they are only allow per the car wash insurance they can only perform hand wash.
Wow, I mean... it is not even allowed to wash your car by hand on the street in The Netherlands. So you have to powerwash and hand wash your car. Weird. Also you have rollover carwashes, your car is stationary and the carwash rolls back and forth over your car. Also not allowed? Man, they must really have no faith in the paint job on that Tesla...🤨
Most people don't use superchargers regularly, they charge at home where they park for the night. If you couldnt do that, I dont think you should get a tesla.

Unless you can get a full charge once a week and that last you the week.

I worked at tesla for four years. There’s no need to hand wash. That’s a lie but they are prone to water leaks especially in the trunk, left side and the front firewall. The touchscreen does get annoying when trying to do simple tasks. A few knobs would be nice, like a/c or just changing the radio. When the wheel caps were first put on we thought they were just covers to protect the car during manufacturing cause the wheels underneath looks so much better. We were shocked to find out they were actually part of the car.

Or waiting for repairs.
Superchargers are essentially “abused”. They’re really for long distance trips. People have free supercharging and they’re using them for every day driving. Really I don’t think EVs are for people who can’t charge where they live (yet). That being said the stations around Charlotte where I live hardly have more than 2 or so cars at any given time.
@Jen I can't charge at home, but where I live (Amsterdam SouthEast), chargers are quite far away. The government will probably install one here eventually, but not this year. So @Stephan for me superchargers are actually a once a week affair out of necessity and time restraint
Diego Rens if you’re using a supercharger once a week I don’t consider you a part of the abuse problem.
@@Leispada Tesla chargers are a service you paid for already! Twice. When you bought the car and when your taxes subsidised the company's existence. Tesla is a company not a convent of charitable marthyrs. Think a little dude. Don't be such an exploitable fool.
Your Tesla Model 3 is “not” restricted from use at a drive through carwash. You simply need to place the car in “neutral” to allow it to roll on the conveyor at the carwash. To put your car in “N” (neutral) you need to use the right stalk. Hold it in the up position for two seconds and your screen will indicate “N” and you can roll into any carwash. Problem solved! 😉
Also, it’s not your fault that you got curb rash on your wheels while parking. I did the exact same thing and I realize now that it’s because the backup cameras give you a false impression of how close you actually are from the curb. If you want it removed, I found a reputable guy that does mobile rim repairs. He charged me $100 and it literally looks like it never happened.

Definitely a lot of Tesla’s in LA. We make a game of counting them. Just took a trip to Sams Club in Torrance and counted 16 during our 3.9 mile trip (our Tesla not included)
We’ve had zero maintenance costs. No oil to change, no belts, etc... Definitely cheaper than Ny gas powered cars. With regenerative braking the brakes last forever. So far we’ve only charged it an filled the windshield washer fluid a couple times. It’s been amazing!,
You Wish no radiator so no coolant but tires eventually. Never had any issues and can’t see brake fluid ever being an issue since mostly you use the regenerative braking. It’s an amazing car an we will never again not own a Tesla. We have a gas powered vehicle also, but the Tesla is by far the best car we’ve ever owned
Yeah, the lack of ground clearance is the main thing that kept me from getting a Tesla. I need like 7 inches of ground clearance minimum.
How about Model Y?

I had driven more than 5,000 miles with Tesla especially 3,000 well Tesla tomorrow 3 different versions. Other than all of the points you talked about, One thing I hate is the sunroof that cannot be closed when wanted especially under the hot sun.

Rookie Budget Fishing isn’t it the outside of the car that just can’t deal with the pressure washers and everything? Sorry I don’t know cars I’m just confused
Molly I would think if the paint is that bad then yeah that makes sense. But my train of thinking is that maybe because of all the collision sensors and the fact that it requires the car in neutral to drive thru it that presents an issue...
Molly I’ve seen many people videos and they’re high pressure washing it at home.
I use an express wash (H2Go to be precise) and it works just fine. Dunno why people think it has to be hand washed. Maybe cause they think Tesla owners are rich and gullible?
@@carloscruz7317 there's nothing about the sensors that makes car washes an automatic no go. And neutral isn't any different than any other car if you have your seat belt on. Now, if it's a car wash where you don't ride through in the car, you're right it is a little different then.
Just an FYI, black cars a bound to get micro scratches in the paint, Tesla or not
Tesla is using cheap ass paint

Hey Shelby, did you get and download the latest update? My 3 got Version 2019.40.50.7 recently - Guess what? NOW we can control HVAC and wipers and even open the glovebox by VOICE! - It's very cool. The release notes for the update tell us a few commands it can do - but owners are discovering lots of things that Tesla didn't even tell us about - LIKE THE WIPER CONTROLS! - All by voice! Please tell your viewers that Tesla sends us lots of firmware updates over the air and our cars are constantly getting better and cooler! - I'm having fun with My Model 3 just experiencing new voice commands every day....Maybe I can press the steering wheel button and say: "Buy me a Hazelnut latte!" and it'll do it?!
Half off the commands in the Tesla doesn't work!

@Emerie Pallos jealous much?
its total crap that you can’t use a express car wash, I worked at two car washes and plenty teslas came through without any issues.
I've noticed that with a high gloss finish, once a car has gone through a couple of passes with the spinning brushes, there are zillions of little scratches from the ends of the bristles. In the car washes which just have the strips of soap filled cloth, not so much, but dirt lodged in the cloth can leave scratches.
OK, OK, OK, you won't see them from a couple of feet away, but they are cumulative. I just go to the local hand sprayer, rinse with the "deionize" water, and give it a rinse and chamois when I get home. How long will I do this? Don't know. Haven't bought a new car since 1970. Guess it's just new car fever. I will do the uber hand wash and put the ceramic coat on it, though. That deep shiny red is awful purty.
A real man washes his own car!
Buy Leo a beer! Real men wash their own cars, as he says!
Daniel Meade it's because it's Black. Black is the softest paint, unless it's a metallic Black. The fibers will scratch it easily, even white after 50+ car washes will show fine scratching.

You have to hand wash every car if you actually care about your paint.
They told her that,because the paint on Tesla's cars is very bad and it can be damaged.
@@kittknisley4505 if you don't know how to correctly wash then you are better off going to a carwash.

It does not need to be hand washed.
Even if it did she could do it herself. lol
It needs to. The paint is so soft, that almost every tesla delivered here in the Netherlands gets a ceramic coating.
I feel like this is one of the few legit comments. Why doesn't it need to be hand washed? Can you please include some reading materials?
@@2SenseChannel Tesla is the one and only using pure waterbased paint. It's very good for the environment, but is has multiple disadvantages.
quote: (www.quora.com/Why-does-Tesla-use-water-based-paint)
"For very good reasons:
Waterborne paints are cleaner for the environment.
Waterborne paints are the healthier option for workers.
Waterborne paints are often less expensive.
Get a high-gloss finish without additional coats required for solvent-based paints.
Waterborne paints are very durable."
So, normal paint has a clear coat, which protects the actual paint from scratching etc. If you have scratches, you polish the car (the clear coat it is), and they are gone. Since the Tesla does NOT have clear coat, all scratches are in the very thin paint (100 micron), and very hard to polish them out, since the paint is so thin. Therefore it is adviced to put a ceramic coating on top, to protect the paint.
Excuse my English, i'm Dutch.
@@MegaDraadloos Teslas have clear coat, try again. 🙂
Touch screens are definitely a backward step in automotive safety.
I agree, for sure. I just make sure I am in a spot where I can safely remove my eyes from the road. Thankfully we live in a very large county (King) so plenty of places to do that or I will pull over somewhere, unfortunately most don’t think this way which is evident by the amount of people still playing on their phone while driving! This was something I took into consideration when we agreed to purchase ours, oh and it is nice when your techy kid can start sitting in the front to help😁
I agree, and it's obvious they were just too cheap to create controls like in normal cars and instead just rely on software and a single cheap screen for it all. I'd rather have a car that has both a normal dash and quick controls on steering wheel as well as a touchscreen for media, settings, navigation, watching porn, etc.
I don't want to drive a damned computer screen. Remember knobs? I like my cars to have buttons and real knobs.
@@Dr.FeelsGood Damned touchscreens and membrane switches everywhere... and stuff you can't do anything to without using an IR remote control, which you can never find. *THIS,* is the world we live in now...
I disagree. Cars themselves have never been the problem. Ever. Humans are the problem. Automakers need to stop making cars for humans and do like Elon and prep for the future. The touchscreen in Model 3 isn’t designed for controlling the car. It’s design to provide entertainment as soon as the Full Self Driving package is ready and approved.
for the AC part, you could use the voice and say something like "18 degrees" and the car would turn on the AC and set it to 18 degrees no matter what temperature it was at, which could be done easily while driving. Saying "warmer" or "cooler" would set the AC 1.5 degrees up or down. This works on the wiper and side mirrors too.

Is your electricity bill significantly higher after you started charging your car at home than before? always wondered this.
Energy is cheap although it can be higher than others in some areas. We use a lot of energy just leaving things plugged in and waste a lot throughout the year as Americans
you're supposed to charge during non-peak hours where electricity is at least 2x cheaper too
Jason Chau what are those peak hour times?
@@XProShopperX Check with your electricity company for the exact times but it's usually somewhere around 9pm-6am
Tends to be 1/4-1/5 the cost of what you were paying for gas and you no longer need oil changes twice a year. Some states have more expensive electricity then others though. I believe usa average electricity cost is 0.13$/kWh so if your area is near an eqaul cost or has off peak charging your going to save significant amounts.
I like the lowering of the prices it means they can make everything better for cheaper allowing more people the ability to experience a Tesla and thus getting closer to there goal of pushing the world away from gas and it’s bad emissions not just giving wealthy people a new luxury car
It's not as green as people think. All the electricity to charge the thing is from non renewable sources like coal. Also think of how bad the line to charge will be with hundreds of people waiting an hour to charge their car.
That's the goal
But to get to that point, Elon needs to build huge factories with rich people's money so they can produce a cheaper model
After the cybertruck and the roadster, I'd imagine the next budget car will be more affordable
Unfortunately, it takes some time to make new technology affordable for us regular people

Automatic car washes are evil unless you don't care about your paint
Touchless car washes should be fine.
@LotusLambo hey if you can wash your own car more power to you but many of us do not have that option. Do what's best for you and the car. End of the day, no perfect world.
@LotusLambo not giving anyone permission. I don't think I have that authority. Ain't your mother.
Gonna like the video already because I know the video will end before I know it, her vids are always well structured .
thank you so much!!
here's a blunt version of this video if you're considering buying a tesla:
- if you don't have the convenience of home charging, then EVs should be reconsidered. you're wasting time (and money) if you have to rely on supercharging or public chargers. that's not to say that it's not doable, but be aware of how much time you'd be wasting if you have a 9-5 job with no work or home charging. time is money.
- use ONR and the 2 bucket method when washing your car. it's fast, efficient, and sustainable. and don't buy a black car because swirl marks and scratches can be seen easily.
- price changes are inevitable. no one gets mad when dealerships change their prices on an hourly basis but when tesla does it everyone goes crazy???
If a person lived in an apartment and was thinking of getting an EV they should download the Plugshare app and look for charging spots near them.
I have Superchargers North, South, and East of me. Two are at grocery stores and the third is at a casino with restaurants. There are four destination chargers near me that I have never used. One shopping mall near me now has 8 free level 2 chargers and another one has 4. There is a parking garage with a bunch of chargers, but only the first 30 minutes is free, and two nearby hospitals, a grocery store and a pharmacy have chargers where an hour will get you 40 miles and cost a dollar or so.
For non Tesla people, Electrify America has recently built fast chargers at my local Target and a nearby Walmart. Tesla people could buy a Chademo adapter, and European Tesla people can buy a CCS adapter to use non-Tesla fast chargers. I charged my car at my Mom's house from a wall outlet when I was on vacation.
It's all about how creative a person wants to be. Definitely easiest to charge at home while you are sleeping, or at work.
A lot of jealousy directed towards this lady in these comments. Some of it revolting. Have a word with yourselves FFS.
Jealousy? You realize for the same price you could be driving a luxury german or japanese car?
As tech. improve and they scale up, they are able to sell for less money, that's good because more people can afford it.
You are supposed to charge at home and only use superchargers for long drives.
AaxeVENTURE those people are screwed.
And if you live in an apartment building what are you supposed to do? Use destination chargers?
AaxeVENTURE I was lucky. My last apartment had two charging spots. But I could have gone without since I have a Volt.
I charge mine at a super charge solely. It charges 4 miles per hour at home and I've got to run a long extension cord from the outlet to my car. So it isn't practical for me. I've had my car since September and I make it a habit to go to the super charger once a week. I live in LA . I have now learned the best times to go to the charger closest to my house to where I have little to no wait time, after a while it isn't so bad. I just head there with a book or something else to keep me occupied.
AaxeVENTURE almost every apartment complex in la has charging stations
Id rather have flying car by now, 2020 should be the Jetsons.
@AaxeVENTURE Anything is better than the vehicles we have today.
They prob dont trust people to fly cars,would have to be self flying. air traffic control would prob go crazy.
im amagining a huge vehicle coming out of the sky into my house. not a good thought.or someone who cant find a parking spot trying to park on the roof. they would have to idiot proof it, because only takes a few to ruin it for everyone. I can see the headlines. airliner hit by drone smashes into a flying car which both explodes into a busy neighborhood below
I don't think Flying cars will ever be a thing. You mean Quadcopter Vehicles. We need to start using this language, because Flying cars like Back To The Future is just a fantasy. I'm pretty sure we will have small plane like vehicles. Something people never talk about is, How will the traffic management work if everyone was allowed to have and fly one of these things. lol
@Mad-Cyantist and the police chases make way better TV though!!! Turn on highway to the danger zone fantasizing it is a fighter jet . Good thing pilots license is expensive and hard to get lol.
You can get Wheel Rash Rings they are very discreet and stick out just past the edge of your rims and come in different colors black, blue and red being the most common. When you hip a curb you scrape the ring instead of destroying your expensive rims and they should be standard equipment on all cars.
You have the 18 inch Aero wheels. Switch to the 19 inch performance wheels and they will raise your car by 1/2 inch, 20 inch wheels will raise you car 1 inch. Do either one of these modifications and your car will no longer scrape.
@LotusLambo the wheel is still overall larger lol.
@LotusLambo 235/45/18 vs 235/45/20 will not have the same height ratio. Maybe you should do your research before you post. There are different size tires that can be purchased and a 235/45/20 will not give a harsh ride like a low profile 235/30/20 tire.
@LotusLambo It is 235/30/20 and here is a link tiresize.com/tiresizes/235-30R20.htm What you fail to have any intelligence on is that she cannot continue to scrape her battery pack on the incline. In all EVs the battery pack is the most expensive part of the car. Raising the car 1 inch by installing 235/45/20 tires could possibly save her thousands in repairs. The price for a Model 3 battery pack start at $8,000 and up. If she has passengers in the car when it scrapes it will be worse. Since your utter stupidity and lack of any common sense seems to elude you here is another link to educate yourself. Go there and type in 235/45/18 and 235/45/20 tiresize.com/comparison/ You will see that the 235/45/20 is 2 inches taller than the 235/45/18 but since the wheel hub is in the center of the wheel that makes it 1 inch taller. I cant fix stupid but I can try.
@LotusLambo before you make another stupid post, here is a link to a Model 3 with 235/35/20 tires and wheels ua-cam.com/video/oTTXGQ95pu8/v-deo.html
Just a heads-up regarding the car washes.. don't use automatic ones even when you can. They will destroy your paint with scratches. The bristles never get washed and they get full of debris that scratches your paint on contact.
I use a "touchless" car wash called laserwash, I'm sure they have it in LA.
fuckk i took my tesla to an automatic car wash last week
@@dustey_4553 Google swirl marks on car paint.. shine a light on your paint in the dark and see if you have any. It's likely it's not too bad after just once, but over time it will dull your car's paint and cut through your clear coat. If it's bad and you want to get it fixed, contact a detailer and enquire about a polish. They will be able to advise on proper car care 😊
lol I take my muddy truck through them all the time.
CaptainJimmyy every car gets it. I think they just tell Tesla owners to get hand wash cause they usually have more money
For the AC, just press and hold the fan icon and the AC comes on. Saves a few steps.
The only thing that I don’t like is the plain ass interior.
I agree. I wish there was a bit more touch to it
i dont know why i watch these kind of videos even though i can't afford tesla or any car
As someone who’s owned the car for a year I just want to clarify two things. You don’t need a hand wash every time. Normal car wash works just fine but a hand wash is better on the paint. Also, waterless wash doesn’t scratch your paint. Are you dropping the towel on the ground and picking up dirt? Don’t use a towel that’s been on the ground to wash your car. Lastly, you can easily just click the scroll wheel and say “turn on AC” or “set AC to lo” and it will do it all without you needing to do anything on the screen
A hand job is always better.
If she's wiping off tiny sand particles that will scratch the paint.
And your piece

You should order a Model Y and change to that when it comes out :) ride hight solved.
and get a white one.
Kristian Halvorsen Maybe. It’s only supposed to have about an inch more ground clearance. So, it may are may not be enough to completely solve her issue.
The roof is much taller so there is room to put the seats on risers so you sit taller inside it and ride higher, but the actual space outside underneath the Model Y isn’t going to be much more than a Model 3.
HI there, thanks for the great honest review. I am curious - which Model 3 do you have? The performance or Long Range?
Just got to hand it to Shelby, she has been able to eliminate using the word "like" every other word. Good job!
That's a start...... now to remove that annoying 'up inflection' at the end of sentences...……......
Just a trait of the California English dialect lexicon... The up inflection is called a high rising terminal and has a number of pragmatic uses, including confirming that the interlocutor follows what is being said and indicating that the speaker has more to say. The word "like" is used as a discourse marker to allow time to formulate what to say next. All typical traits of the southern california 'valley girl' regional accent. Just like how New Englanders have their own unique accent of English, but that doesn't make anything 'wrong' about it.
@@wyndstormsage728 Ah, I think you must be the reincarnation of Henry Higgins the phonetics professor from 'My Fair Lady'. I'm not as bombastically dogmatic as Henry, I'm not saying these traits are wrong, just annoying (especially when spoken by 'valley girls'). Anyway, thanks for the analysis :-)
@ In that case "like" is being used as a as a colloquial quotative, which is used to indicate that what follows is not necessarily an exact quotation of what was said, but captures the meaning and intention of the quoted speech. The speaker is indicating that they may or may not have literally said those words. It's also known as quotation through simile. But if all they literally say is "I was like", without anything after, then that would just be an incomplete sentence.
@@gameworkerty …. in The Valley. 'They' should have kept it there. The current "buzzword" I believe, is "containment", but I fear it's too late. It has now spread world-wide on the wings of trash TV and films. You said a pragmatic use was "confirming that the interlocutor follows what is being said and indicating that the speaker has more to say". However, I would suggest this shows a lack of confidence in the speaker, and from what I have read and seen reported in Global media, lack of confidence is not the American way.
I always use automatic car wash... nobody ever told me it has to be hand washed mine...
Maybe the Car Wash people she is talking to are confusing it with a Model S or X which do have aluminium bodywork. From my understanding the Model 3 has a more conventional steel body.
The Tesla batteries are not based on the archaic Lead-Acid chemistry. So no, your driveway won't be awash with battery acid!

Update to the latest software. You can turn on the AC with a voice command.
There really is no excuse for a ride height that low unless the car is just a toy. That seems so impractical, even for hills in LA
You’re lucky, Tesla owners are all early adopters. So yeah in the future these cars will be cheaper for the rest of society and you can be salty or you can realize we had to wait forever to just get these cars, I want a Tesla so badly.
Matthew Aniston True, the law of supply and demand also applies to the energy industry. Solar is not a reliable source of electricity. Wind kills birds like bird strikes on jet turbines. Hydroelectric is not enough. Hydrogen needs a mature infrastructure just like how fossil fuel has matured. Currently, the only source of energy that is enough to cover the energy demand, sustainable, is nuclear energy. Some sources do state that hydrogen can be extracted from nuclear waste; not sure how.
However, environmentalists are pretty much against nuclear energy.
As far as the vehicle itself, Tesla vehicles are just one of the options to achieve a better fuel efficiency compared to gas/ICE powered vehicles.
Matthew Aniston, Hydrogen is not the answer. All Hydrogen powered cars have an electric drivetrain with fuel cells to convert the hydrogen to electricity. It is way less efficient this way than a straight electric car. And there is no hydrogen infrastructure. It has no hope of catching up with the exponential increase in EV charging station installs.

Outright stating that hydrogen has no hope is denying the advancement of technologies which is not good for any civilization at all. That type of thinking is a dangerous one.
As I have stated, hydrogen infrastructure needs to mature. Other countries are developing new ways to produce energy for vehicles and not being dependent on just fossil fuels and electricity (EV).
@@lxmedia3911 hydrogen is energy storage not production. Electric vehicles can be powered by any source. solid state batteries are right around the corner, hydrogen simply has very little hope of gaining traction in the consumer market. Hydrogen electric vehicles create another maintenance item, needing to replace air filters for the fuel cells.
Trucks, ships, planes, there Hydrogen have a place.
And yes it is cleaner to drive electric! after accounting for inefficiency in charging the batteries, the vehicle as a whole is over 80% efficient. then there is only about 5% energy loss in power transmission from generation to destination. www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=105&t=3 Then it is up to the efficiency of the power generation.
Whereas gas cars are ~40% efficient at best (hybrid). And the diesel to transport the fuel and energy to convert crude to fuels.
@@danwat1234 There you go again! You are navigating away from the issue of, "where do you get all those electricity to supply to everyone?".

You need a "fuel" or a means to produce electricity. Same is true for EV. Electricity does not magically appear. It needs to be produced.

I feel like they could be up selling you with the whole you need to hand wash it. I go to a drive through wash (soapy joes) and haven’t noticed any scratches or anything wrong with the paint. I’ve had my model 3 since June of 2019, so roughly 7 months now and paint still looks new. Just my thoughts
HeyItzRyan same I think she doesn’t know how to put it in neutral
HeyItzRyan soapy joes ruined the paint on my car
Could be upselling but it is very likely it is getting scratched. Paint swirls are a minor detail and many people will never even notice it. It happens to every car and you will see it if you look across the surface with a light or when it is sunny. People notice it on teslas because it is a topic often brought up
Any car will get swirls by using the drive thru wash. It's a fantasy to think that Tesla's require more careful washing. They don't, unless you want your Tesla to have a new car finish forever. Might as well not drive it at all. That will keep the paint looking fresh!
@Shelby about the road rash, I also did it to my model 3 that I bought in December after two weeks of owning it. I was able to fix it for about $60 by using a Kit from amazon. It takes about an hour and it should look as good as new. Especially if you get a color that matches the wheels. And the kit can be used many times so it is worth the money. But of course I didn’t do it again because I am aware of the design flaw of the wheels at this point. And I also installed a 240v plug in my garage for about $70 plus $35 adapter for the model 3 charger. You will be able to top off the battery in about 4 to 5 hours. Best of luck
What is a 240v plug? I've never heard of these before. Is it something you can buy?
Why would you need a supercharger within 10 miles of your house?
