Congrats🎉🎉🎉 your going to love it. I took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in March first EV. I absolutely love this car. Ridiculously fast in it's own right
Thank you for taking us with you and showing your first impressions. I’ve been waiting five years now for my cyber truck delivery can’t wait. They tell me I’ll have it before the end of the year. On TV your model 3 looks pretty sharp.
@@brians7613 Thanks for watching! If they hadn't have increased the price so much on the Cybertruck, I would be driving one right now. I got my invitation to put my order in in January. If they ever come down to 59, I'm getting one.
@@OrdainedPrepper I have have found these settings, Strangely enough, I didn't have to change the settings, I got a new update for FSD when I got home that night. and evidently this one behaves a little bit better. I don't have the same problems with it changing lanes.but thanks for the suggestion!
One trick for the 85mph autopilot limit is to switch to Kilometers for the distance units. This will unlock 140kph autopilot which is roughly 87mph. It’s not much but it’s enough for me to keep up with most of the traffic in the 80 zones. Also when you get your S3XY commander installed they have a feature to keep you out of autopilot jail with the latest update. It automatically turns off AP when you manually press the accelerator to get over 140kph then automatically re-engages when you get below 140kph. So that will help in the future.
@@Lynyrd_Evnyrd Hopefully I'll be installing that soon. I have to watch a few tutorial videos first. Have you ever seen a Francis station limit a car at 25kW because of an adapter?
@@CrazypostmanMost of the Francis BTC stations have been giving me 135kW for about 20-30 seconds then de-rating to like 30kW. Those BTC units are just junk and need to be ripped out. Hopefully they replace them with the newer SK Signet units that seem to have been working pretty well in Belle Isle, KS Branson, MO and Muskogee. They’ve had them less than a year but they’ve already had more full power uptime than the BTC units have over the course of 5 years 😂
@@CrazypostmanAlso just in case I wasn’t clear, the CCS1 adapter has no limit. I’ve seen over 200kW at a Pilot EV-Go Delta charger and usually get around 180kW at EA stations.
Getting out of the right lane... possibly because of the stated speed limit? And you were pushing 74 so, the FSD considered you as going faster than the limit threshold, which indicated, you were wanting to p;ass?... just guessing though?...
@@bigscreenadz8225 No idea what it was thinking. I drove the same road today, same speed, 74. And it stayed in the right lane the whole way, except when passing actual cars. So it did perfect today.

@@JindoBrad Looks...definitely. But I've already ruined my back seats. Within the first couple weeks, my mom spilt some takeout enchiladas.

Very glad you're back in a Tesla. I really liked the Mach E, but the Ionic 5 about drove me crazy with the overheating when charging. Look forward to new Tesla content. Sorry about the $25k. Car enthusiasts pay a big price.😊
Like your video a lot but I have maybe one strange question.... you told in video that you don't fit innige chairs, didn't you check it with a testdrive? You should sit comfy instaat car instead to get used to it is it? Just asking.....greetings from the Netherlands Amsterdam
Congratulations! Nice looking car. I just got a Model 3 Dual Motor in Ultra Red w/black interior this July. Hey, I don't know if this will work, but try setting the Dynamics > Steering Weight down to Light and see if that helps with the cogging steering wheel. Just a thought.
Hi sir, I didn't see any lane changing comments so forgive me if you were already told. You can set "minimal lane changes during this drive" setting each trip you make and it will calm down and only change lanes when necessary. I too drive a m3. Nice video!
For future reference, if you are wondering which side of the car to add gas. Look at the fuel gauge, there is usually a small arrow or triangle indicating which side it's on. Congrats on the M3P
I think it's moving on the faster lane because you're travelling above the speed limit which it thinks you're trying to past someone ahead.. just sayin.
@@nopenevermind8559 I drive that road pretty much every day, so I guess we'll see. Yesterday I went 74 for the whole 40 mile stretch and it didn't change lines once.
Our R1T had to be registered in Virginny because North Carolina won't let you register it in North Carolina until you've had it for 3 months. So weird.
I've used those Francis Energy CCS chargers along the turnpike in Chickasha without any issues. Looks like the units were locked at 25kW for some reason when you visited. They do charge a bit slow (65kW) on my '24 Telsa Model Y using my CCS adapter. I usually need just a short charge to make it back to my house after going hiking in the Wichita Mountains. The computer does tell me I would have 5% or so left if I didn't stop, but stopping in Chickasha is good bathroom break anyway. Regarding the size of the Model 3, I did rent one in FL last year. I kept hitting my head on the door frame getting in, so I crossed the Model 3 off my list. The Model Y fits me much better with ease of getting in/out. I don't use FSD at all, tried it briefly (when it was free) but I don't want to have to supervise the computer the whole time. I would never have blown through a rough railroad crossing like FSD did on your vehicle. Wouldn't pay a dime for FSD, for sure. The other reason I chose the Model Y was it still has the steering wheel stalks.
@@mowcowbell When I got home, I noticed in the Francis app I had a whole bunch of notifications showing payment failed? When I looked at my credit card statement, I had three $20 pre-authorizations, so I'm not sure why they would say it failed. But maybe they throttled the speed because their payment system wasn't working correctly?
If you get the autorsteer unavailable for the rest of the drive warning. Just pull over, press the brake and both scroll wheels in and hold til the screen resets. Then you should have autosteer back. You'll definitely want the S3XY commander because it will turn off auto steer when you go over 85 and reenable when you go back below.
Yeah FSD does that where it wants go slower, a bit annoying. They are focusing on safety first though. Mine keeps telling me a speed limit of 25 in some areas on unmarked back roads where it is at least 45 if not 55. Use mostly Tesla Superchargers when on trips if possible, i just plug in my garage every night and charge to 80% (80% to 45% every day)
in autopilot screen, you need to toggle “minimal lane changes” so it’s not often changing to the right lane. But yeah yours is the same peeve I have with the current FSD build: the unnecessary lane changes, the inability to plan ahead so it can be in the proper lane way in advance so it doesn’t get stuck in the wrong lane at the last minute and unable to make the correct turn or exit, its propensity sometimes to hug the curb, its inability to drive at the speed limit it’s reading and maintain proper flow with traffic. Hopefully it’s being trained with all the data it’s collecting and by the time they roll out version 13 next month, it will drive smooth, safe and perfect just in time for their reveal of robotaxi on 10/10. This week we should expect the wide release of Actual Smart Summon.
@@h-e-acc Hopefully I get to try A.S.S. before my free subscription expires. Yeah, I found that setting when I was studying the book when I got home. Also, I did the same trip today. It did not change into the left lane unnecessarily one time. Perfect trip today.
@@bigscreenadz8225 Okay, I didn't try clicking it. I'll try doing that next time it misbehaves and see what happens. I thought that turned off FSD. I tried moving the scroll wheel up to a higher speed, but it ignored that.
@@DankRageRants That Ioniq5 was painful, the market screwed me good on that one. I've been trading EVs quite a bit and there's only been a small depreciation a few thousand, and then the economy said hold my beer cost me 25K!
@@DankRageRants Bought the Ioniq for 55, sold for 30, 15 months later But I already knew I was gonna get screwed. After only six months, the car had lost 20,000 so it kind of plateaued after that.
@@OrdainedPrepper I don't know. I don't think so. 🤣 I've played around with summon A few years ago, before it was actually smart, I really didn't like it back then. Not that it didn't work, it's just I felt weird using it, getting looks from people. I don't like drawing attention. It makes me feel weird.
@@Crazypostman I re-read your initial reply and you mentioned that the update was 12.5.1.3 (that does not have the ASS update). I recently got 12.5.2 and the version with ASS is 12.5.3
@Crazypostman That's good. Hopefully, it addresses a lot of the issues. I'll admit, I wish I had one. But I have to settle with my niro for now. Also, I would want the Plaid. So I don't think that's happening any time soon.
Use the spin dial on the right side of the stearing wheel to increase/decress speed in FSD. For whatever reasen, it holds the speed change longer (instead of the pedal). Your car is beautiful. I think the Y after the refresh is the way to go... There is great love here for you...And oh, respectfully, one comment below was to use the size of fitting in the seat and car, as motivation to lose a few pounds... Here is a good way to do that fast and easily... Get the book... Kicking Type 2 Diabetes *ss: Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Fast And Easy...It gives natural ways to do this, even though it is about reversing type 2 diabetes... Good luck...And have fun with that car... we want to see how your FSD drives in the city streets as it is still on the old version for freeway driving and not 12.5 or greater....let us know...
No superchargers on my route. I could have gone just slightly out of my way while I was in Oklahoma City, but I wasn't too concerned about not having enough After I put the address in the navigation, it said I could make it.
He offered to tell me all about it. I was on a tight time crunch. And had to leave right away. I knew the basics since I owned a Tesla for two years before just the software is a bit different now.
Oh, be certain your care is in "assertive" mode and not "chill" mode... to maintain speed profiles better...and your system is running version 12.5.1.3 or better...FSD...
Well, FSD on the high way is for now - old Auto Pilot software. Tesla says it will implement the new code this month (we have to wait to see if that really happens) Congrats on a fantastic car!
@@h-e-acc I had FSD two years ago in my other Tesla. I park in the back of the building inside a fence. It couldn't figure that out. We'll see if the new one can.
Congrats Crazy on the new ride! Finally came in! I'm just curious, if you didn't think you had enough range to get home at 80%, why didn't you just top it off at the Tesla dealer to 100% before leaving?
@@sargemonday4801 Once I saw I was getting to my parents house with 40%. I pretty much knew I could make it home. I also wanted to try the adapter. That didn't go so well, but of course I blame Francis.
@@Crazypostman Not sure about those, I only noticed the Level 2 units on the north and east sides of the building when I was picking up my Model Y back in March. Mine wasn't plugged in when I picked it up, but it was at 80% charge.
Everything is good until you use the blinkers. 🤦🏽♂️ Congratulations this is by far one of the best cars for the buck! Keep an eye on the rear motor around the drive shaft. A few Tesla owners found what appears to be oil leaking. Tesla Mark has a video.
@@gust9464 Yeah, I've seen that video and others. I've been driving this thing for a week now and I still don't have the blinkers down, I still grab for nothing, and when I do remember I have to still look. My brain just might not be able to grasp the change. 🤣
The FSD speed issue you showed is so infuriating. It has been going on the whole release of FSD 12. FSD 11 didn't do this. But FSD would go into every turn lane or turn out for no reason. FSD 12 crosses the center lane a lot. Be careful
@@chowner Can confirm I've had the car three months now and speed is definitely the biggest issue with FSD. that and the over-eager driver-attentiveness is a bit annoying. Other than that, it's magical 🤣
@chowner It's very small. I've had a Model 3 before, and I'm remembering why I traded it off for a bigger car. It is very fun to drive though. I would certainly wait for the refresh model Y but, If you don't mind the size of the Model 3, then I would go with a 3 now might lose the tax benefit. Come January. I had several quality issues on my Model 3, but that's Tesla, I guess.
@@jasonl5607 There was more than one CCS bailout option if I needed it, But after I put the address in the nav, I wasn't too worried about it. The last Tesla I had was a 2019 and this one Seems to have a little bit better range than what I was used to also.
You can't say I did not warn you, you should have got the Y Proformance. The Y's have much larger doors and seat height and a hatch. My 70 yo cousin bought Quick Silver Y P and he loves it. Maybe your 3 will encourage you to loose a few lbs. I need to loose a few and I have a Y! Two weeks and you will be catch back up with Teslas. With the CCS1 & J1772 adapters you can now charge anywhere 😊
At least your level two AC charging should be zero problems and charge up to 11.5 kw. Why did you have a $24,000.00 negative on the Ionic 5. It dropped that much in value or other things and you didn't have to answer.
@@davidws5439 Level 2 charging worked full power, no problems last night. Hallelujah. Yes, I lost that much between when I purchased it and when I traded it in. Some of that was expected obviously, normal depreciation, but I didn't expect that much.
bro the reason you are charging at 25 kw is because that station is 1k volts your tesla only supports 500v and youre at 61% battery ANDDDD you didnt precondition the battery which only happens when you navigate to a charger.. rookie rookie rookie
@@James-cq9dp Almost none of what you said is correct. The Model 3 will request around 90KW at 61%. The voltage of the car is not even a factor here. This station is capable of 350 amps so at 400 volts would give me 140KW theoretically. I did not precondition the battery so I might not have received full power Immediately, but like we mentioned above, I wouldn't have received more than about 90KW at this state of charge anyway. The car wouldn't have thermally limited to only 25kw unless it was much much colder outside.
The more I drive my Tesla, the more I think we are far from self driving cars. And removing stalks is just a major error. Stalks are so intuitive to use, there was no need to replace them with button on the wheel.
After a week with my new model 3 Performance the buttons are natural to me. I jumped in my old model 3 this weekend and went to push the non existing button on the wheel to turn on the turn signal.
@@Crazypostman I was wondering what you were talking about when you said stocks (or stalks) but then you mentioned you were doing the motion to hit the turn signal and I understood. Made me flash back to high school way back when and I was taking my driving lessons with one of our teachers. He was in the front passenger seat, one of us would be driving and there would be 2 more of us in the back of the Dodge Dart (yes, I said I am old). Well, one kid had a right/left hand problem one day because every time the instructor said to make a turn, he'd use his right arm to go to the shifter instead of his left for the turn signal. Good thing our instructor had lightening reflexes because his arm shot out and grabbed the kid's arm before he even got to the shifter.
Actually there are a lot of EV’s in Oklahoma, and Francis Electric has chargers all over the state, on US and State highways, not just the Interstates like Tesla and EA have. There is only ONE Supercharger in the entire western half of Oklahoma, along I-40 in Weatherford, as he noted. There are none in the southeast quarter of the state either. But there are 6 Supercharger sites in the NE quarter of the state. Tesla has a LOT of work to do in Oklahoma😊
@@glenngore6609 Tesla did recently open a second supercharger location in OKC, but it's over on Lincoln north of the state capital. Completely wrong location in my opinion. They should have added one in the busy I-35 corridor between Moore and Norman.
@@mowcowbell Oh that’s right, I’d forgotten about that one. You’re right, a totally useless location overall. The fact that Tesla has no Superchargers in NW, SW, and SE Oklahoma at all was the primary reason I did not buy a Tesla and got an Ioniq 5 instead. Add to that the fact that Tesla has an ENORMOUS hole of no Superchargers between I-40 and I-70 and I-25 and I-35 that makes a trip to Denver a no-go. Since I don’t live in NE Oklahoma, where all the Superchargers are, there is no real reason for a Tesla. It’s enough having to deal with Francis’s trash network as Postman showed in this video.
@@glenngore6609 I checked Abetterrouteplanner and a trip from OKC to Denver is quite possible in a Tesla. You have to charge in Weatherford, Shamrock, Amarillo, Clayton NM, Trinidad CO, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, then destination Denver. Those stops would be all Tesla Superchargers.
All these ev's are way overpriced vs what they cost to build them the tesla does hold thier value better than most ev's because of the better charging network and they are more reasonable in price especially the model 3 like you are getting they are not overpriced as much as say the hyundai ioniq 5 which is probably 10k more than it should be new
@@ChickyNuggIf I couldn't figure out autopilot, I can still drive down the road without it. the accelerator, the brake pedal and the steering wheel are pretty self-explanatory. Who reads the whole owner's manual before leaving the dealer lot anyway.
@@pauldbeer what do I need to learn? You turn it on and it goes. I just have to supervise. I guess I have to remember to turn it off before I try to pass somebody. What else do you think I did wrong?
Wake up man! It goes into the "passing" lane BECAUSE YOU DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT!!!!! Stay below the limit, and it will remain in the "driving" lane!!! WTF? You cannot figure that? really!!!!!!!!
@@pauldbeer If you're so sure that's the reason, then tell me why I've driven the same road the last two days since this video was filmed and it has stayed in the right lane. I guess you don't know it all.
@@pauldbeer Why would it be in the passing lane if there's nobody to pass? It doesn't matter how fast you're going. That should not happen. It's obviously an error in the programming.
@@Crazypostman I never claimed to "know it all" It simply seem to be the reason. You exceed the speed limit, the system will "think" you are passing, thus it will choose to drive in the "fast" lane. You continually "forcing" it back to the other lane, will "learn" the AI to then drive there... Just a thought, no need to get cocky, really....!

@@DankRageRants Bought the Ioniq for 55, sold for 30, 15 months later But I already knew I was gonna get screwed. After only six months, the car had lost 20,000 so it kind of plateaued after that.
Looks like you’ve got the default FSD 12.3.6 which is many versions prior to the latest version. It took almost 2 weeks for Tesla to push 12.5.1 over.

@@Crazypostmando you have ASS (Actually Smart Summon) with the update?
@@OrdainedPrepper I don't know. I don't think so. 🤣 I've played around with summon A few years ago, before it was actually smart, I really didn't like it back then. Not that it didn't work, it's just I felt weird using it, getting looks from people. I don't like drawing attention. It makes me feel weird.
@@Crazypostman I re-read your initial reply and you mentioned that the update was 12.5.1.3 (that does not have the ASS update). I recently got 12.5.2 and the version with ASS is 12.5.3
@@OrdainedPrepper Okay, I'll keep patiently waiting for my ASS
That is a gorgeous car!
I think it's doing that because you're over the speed limit. Try seeing it to the exact speed limit and see if it stays in the right lane.
@@CollinLutz-p9e I downloaded a new FSD update and I've driven twice on that road now and it hasn't done it again. It stays in the proper lane now.
@@CollinLutz-p9e Even if I'm exceeding the speed limit.
@Crazypostman That's good. Hopefully, it addresses a lot of the issues.
I'll admit, I wish I had one. But I have to settle with my niro for now.
Also, I would want the Plaid. So I don't think that's happening any time soon.

Use the spin dial on the right side of the stearing wheel to increase/decress speed in FSD. For whatever reasen, it holds the speed change longer (instead of the pedal). Your car is beautiful. I think the Y after the refresh is the way to go... There is great love here for you...And oh, respectfully, one comment below was to use the size of fitting in the seat and car, as motivation to lose a few pounds... Here is a good way to do that fast and easily... Get the book... Kicking Type 2 Diabetes *ss: Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Fast And Easy...It gives natural ways to do this, even though it is about reversing type 2 diabetes... Good luck...And have fun with that car... we want to see how your FSD drives in the city streets as it is still on the old version for freeway driving and not 12.5 or greater....let us know...
You have it for atleast 2 years did you lease?
@@Jay-wx6hv No, I purchased it. You can't lease a Tesla in Oklahoma evidently.
Congratulations!!!
@@dianewallace6064 Thanks, Diane!
Why not using Super chargers?
No superchargers on my route. I could have gone just slightly out of my way while I was in Oklahoma City, but I wasn't too concerned about not having enough After I put the address in the navigation, it said I could make it.
Dealerships are meant to show you how everything works before you leave with your new car.
He offered to tell me all about it. I was on a tight time crunch. And had to leave right away. I knew the basics since I owned a Tesla for two years before just the software is a bit different now.
And extract every extra dollar in your wallet.
Oh, be certain your care is in "assertive" mode and not "chill" mode... to maintain speed profiles better...and your system is running version 12.5.1.3 or better...FSD...
Ok, so no Netflix and chill while driving. Good to know.
Excellent choice. Awesome
@@robertwilliam9558 thanks!
Well, FSD on the high way is for now - old Auto Pilot software. Tesla says it will implement the new code this month (we have to wait to see if that really happens)
Congrats on a fantastic car!
Congrats!! One day soon, that car will take you and pick you up from work.
@@h-e-acc I had FSD two years ago in my other Tesla. I park in the back of the building inside a fence. It couldn't figure that out. We'll see if the new one can.
Congrats Crazy on the new ride! Finally came in! I'm just curious, if you didn't think you had enough range to get home at 80%, why didn't you just top it off at the Tesla dealer to 100% before leaving?
@@sargemonday4801 Once I saw I was getting to my parents house with 40%. I pretty much knew I could make it home. I also wanted to try the adapter. That didn't go so well, but of course I blame Francis.
The Tesla store in OKC only has Level 2 chargers, charging from 80 to 100% would have taken 45-60 mins more.
@@mowcowbell They used to have a couple superchargers around back for the service use only. Did they get rid of them?
@@Crazypostman Not sure about those, I only noticed the Level 2 units on the north and east sides of the building when I was picking up my Model Y back in March. Mine wasn't plugged in when I picked it up, but it was at 80% charge.
Lol come to Australia, gas here costs around $7 a gallon when you convert the currency.
Everything is good until you use the blinkers. 🤦🏽♂️ Congratulations this is by far one of the best cars for the buck! Keep an eye on the rear motor around the drive shaft. A few Tesla owners found what appears to be oil leaking. Tesla Mark has a video.
@@gust9464 Yeah, I've seen that video and others. I've been driving this thing for a week now and I still don't have the blinkers down, I still grab for nothing, and when I do remember I have to still look. My brain just might not be able to grasp the change. 🤣
About that tutorial in the beginning... TBH I would have done the same 😅
The FSD speed issue you showed is so infuriating. It has been going on the whole release of FSD 12. FSD 11 didn't do this. But FSD would go into every turn lane or turn out for no reason. FSD 12 crosses the center lane a lot. Be careful
@@chowner Can confirm I've had the car three months now and speed is definitely the biggest issue with FSD. that and the over-eager driver-attentiveness is a bit annoying. Other than that, it's magical 🤣
@Crazypostman How you liking the M3P so far? I was so tempted to get it but am waiting patiently for the refreshed Y performance.
@chowner It's very small. I've had a Model 3 before, and I'm remembering why I traded it off for a bigger car. It is very fun to drive though. I would certainly wait for the refresh model Y but, If you don't mind the size of the Model 3, then I would go with a 3 now might lose the tax benefit. Come January. I had several quality issues on my Model 3, but that's Tesla, I guess.
Good luck, having no stalks would drive me nuts.
@@TechnicalLee Everybody says you get used to it. I guess we'll see. But I 100% would rather have stocks. Even if I do get used to not having them.
After using the steering wheel buttons, going back to stalks is annoying.
Dude knows he's short on range but drives 85mph anyways. Ok
@@jasonl5607 There was more than one CCS bailout option if I needed it, But after I put the address in the nav, I wasn't too worried about it. The last Tesla I had was a 2019 and this one Seems to have a little bit better range than what I was used to also.
2.69 for 5 liters is expensive? We pay like 2 euros per Liter, that is 10 Euros for a "gallon".
A Gallon is 3,78541178 liter. So the price of a gallon in the Netherlands is about € 7,-
You can't say I did not warn you, you should have got the Y Proformance. The Y's have much larger doors and seat height and a hatch. My 70 yo cousin bought Quick Silver Y P and he loves it. Maybe your 3 will encourage you to loose a few lbs. I need to loose a few and I have a Y! Two weeks and you will be catch back up with Teslas. With the CCS1 & J1772 adapters you can now charge anywhere 😊
At least your level two AC charging should be zero problems and charge up to 11.5 kw. Why did you have a $24,000.00 negative on the Ionic 5. It dropped that much in value or other things and you didn't have to answer.
@@davidws5439 Level 2 charging worked full power, no problems last night. Hallelujah. Yes, I lost that much between when I purchased it and when I traded it in. Some of that was expected obviously, normal depreciation, but I didn't expect that much.
$2.69 is cheap
FSD is law abiding and people safety prioritizing!!! Capish!
CP's Sister. Yay!!
bro the reason you are charging at 25 kw is because that station is 1k volts your tesla only supports 500v and youre at 61% battery ANDDDD you didnt precondition the battery which only happens when you navigate to a charger.. rookie rookie rookie
@@James-cq9dp Almost none of what you said is correct. The Model 3 will request around 90KW at 61%. The voltage of the car is not even a factor here. This station is capable of 350 amps so at 400 volts would give me 140KW theoretically. I did not precondition the battery so I might not have received full power Immediately, but like we mentioned above, I wouldn't have received more than about 90KW at this state of charge anyway. The car wouldn't have thermally limited to only 25kw unless it was much much colder outside.
$2.69! Bargain in Phoenix!
The more I drive my Tesla, the more I think we are far from self driving cars.
And removing stalks is just a major error. Stalks are so intuitive to use, there was no need to replace them with button on the wheel.
There's an aftermarket kit you can get to add stocks back. It's too bad we have to pay extra for that.
After a week with my new model 3 Performance the buttons are natural to me. I jumped in my old model 3 this weekend and went to push the non existing button on the wheel to turn on the turn signal.
Took me 1 day to get used to it
@@Crazypostman I was wondering what you were talking about when you said stocks (or stalks) but then you mentioned you were doing the motion to hit the turn signal and I understood. Made me flash back to high school way back when and I was taking my driving lessons with one of our teachers. He was in the front passenger seat, one of us would be driving and there would be 2 more of us in the back of the Dodge Dart (yes, I said I am old). Well, one kid had a right/left hand problem one day because every time the instructor said to make a turn, he'd use his right arm to go to the shifter instead of his left for the turn signal. Good thing our instructor had lightening reflexes because his arm shot out and grabbed the kid's arm before he even got to the shifter.
The buttons are great!!
I’m glad they removed the stalks.
Bro our gas is $4.69
You’re not going that far how many times you gotta buy gas…lol
An EV is Oklahoma is a almost as lonely as an EV in West Virginny.
Actually there are a lot of EV’s in Oklahoma, and Francis Electric has chargers all over the state, on US and State highways, not just the Interstates like Tesla and EA have. There is only ONE Supercharger in the entire western half of Oklahoma, along I-40 in Weatherford, as he noted. There are none in the southeast quarter of the state either. But there are 6 Supercharger sites in the NE quarter of the state. Tesla has a LOT of work to do in Oklahoma😊
@@glenngore6609 Tesla did recently open a second supercharger location in OKC, but it's over on Lincoln north of the state capital. Completely wrong location in my opinion. They should have added one in the busy I-35 corridor between Moore and Norman.
@@mowcowbell Oh that’s right, I’d forgotten about that one. You’re right, a totally useless location overall. The fact that Tesla has no Superchargers in NW, SW, and SE Oklahoma at all was the primary reason I did not buy a Tesla and got an Ioniq 5 instead. Add to that the fact that Tesla has an ENORMOUS hole of no Superchargers between I-40 and I-70 and I-25 and I-35 that makes a trip to Denver a no-go. Since I don’t live in NE Oklahoma, where all the Superchargers are, there is no real reason for a Tesla. It’s enough having to deal with Francis’s trash network as Postman showed in this video.
@@glenngore6609 I checked Abetterrouteplanner and a trip from OKC to Denver is quite possible in a Tesla. You have to charge in Weatherford, Shamrock, Amarillo, Clayton NM, Trinidad CO, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, then destination Denver. Those stops would be all Tesla Superchargers.
All these ev's are way overpriced vs what they cost to build them the tesla does hold thier value better than most ev's because of the better charging network and they are more reasonable in price especially the model 3 like you are getting they are not overpriced as much as say the hyundai ioniq 5 which is probably 10k more than it should be new
Remember when you were considering getting a POS Ultium EV?
People do not want EVs, they want Tesla's.
$2.69 is so cheap duds 😅
It don’t like Tesla 😂

Learn about FSD before criticizing!
@@pauldbeer what do I need to learn? You turn it on and it goes. I just have to supervise. I guess I have to remember to turn it off before I try to pass somebody. What else do you think I did wrong?
Wake up man! It goes into the "passing" lane BECAUSE YOU DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT!!!!!
Stay below the limit, and it will remain in the "driving" lane!!! WTF? You cannot figure that? really!!!!!!!!
@@pauldbeer If you're so sure that's the reason, then tell me why I've driven the same road the last two days since this video was filmed and it has stayed in the right lane. I guess you don't know it all.
@@pauldbeer Why would it be in the passing lane if there's nobody to pass? It doesn't matter how fast you're going. That should not happen. It's obviously an error in the programming.
@@Crazypostman I never claimed to "know it all"
It simply seem to be the reason. You exceed the speed limit, the system will "think" you are passing, thus it will choose to drive in the "fast" lane.
You continually "forcing" it back to the other lane, will "learn" the AI to then drive there...
Just a thought, no need to get cocky, really....!
@@pauldbeer You use caps lock with me. I'm gonna get cocky with you.
