    What are your thoughts on the pros and cons of a Tesla? Are you considering purchasing a Tesla especially with the new price cuts?!

      Nice none biased video so fed up with all these other UA-cam channels filled with Tesla "FANBOYS " hype about Tesla like it's the ONLY EV and only perfect car . I saw a video of a Montrealer in Canada 🇨🇦his Tesla wouldn't start and wouldn't charge even inside his garage and neither did a loaner Tesla .

      As for Tesla or any EV have no desire to buy as everything is way too expensive and no long term reliability data especially for cold weather driving or battery life ..
      Too much computerized crap everytime you need to use touchscreen computer for changing gears to opening gloves. And too much PROPRIETARY you can only go to Tesla for most minor to major repairs and maintenance and repairs cost a fortune and so will insurance

      Tesla's are actually not proven to be more safe. they actually have more accidents than ice vehicles. which is why the average monthly insurance rate for them is $100 above most ice vehicles.

      definitely felt like a hugely biased video. the supercharger point should have been a con. even if there are a ton, they are in no way convenient when compared to using a ICE vehicle and stopping at gas stations on a road trip.

    Cons: No cooled seats, no 360 view, headlights don’t automatically turn on with windshield wipers, distance to service center, rims curb rash easily, lots of Tesla haters, cost of FSD, homelink optional and expensive, suspension (ride) tuning poor, higher insurance cost. And the worst Con of all, once you drive a Tesla, you’ll never drive anything else.

      @@Superman-xr1oh Not correct. The two side cameras and the rear camera can be viewed on the screen at any time. Just push the right scroll wheel and say “Show cameras” or “Show rear camera” and it will stay on the screen until you dismiss it. Almost everything in a Tesla can be controlled by voice and the syntax of the command is not critical. I love this capability as I have monocular vision making it almost impossible to use a touchscreen while driving due to poor depth perception. Tesla is one of the few modern cars I feel comfortable with.

      Ride quality is not that good compared to other cars in its class. The suspension is quite firm - both on the Long Range and Performance. The wheels & tires don’t make much of a difference. You feel every bump & imperfection on the Model Y and Model 3.

    Reasons to own a car with an internal combustion engine:
    -Time to gas up is 10 mins. or less
    -Replacing a bad battery may only costs up to $250.00
    -More gasoline stations exist (& are easily accessible) from LA to Vegas.
    -I'd rather own a hybrid than a fully electrical vehicle in case the battery to the electric motor goes dead,
    I can still rely on the gasoline engine to run without that motor.

      Counters:
      -never have to gas up if plugged in over night
      -Tesla doesn’t need the lead acid battery that you are talking about
      -LA to Vegas is an important distance because? (Gambling can be a bad habit and waste you lots of money)
      -in that case it would be better off to just ride Ubers, taxis, or public transportation because lemons are a thing, no matter the manufacturer

    • @MattDanadel
      @MattDanadel  19 днів тому

      Yup Tesla insurance is the worst. Many opt for it because it’s initially cheaper but Tesla Insurance significantly raises premiums even for safe drivers. There are a lot of posts on Reddit and X where users share their experiences, explaining in detail how their rates increased without any apparent reason.

    😂😂😂@8:57 is just lies. This is not true. I wish someone would actually do a little research into this. No one likes to talk about the truth. The vast majority of Tesla repairs are on par with the rest of the industry and do not take as long as you believe and cost about the same. The public is woefully uneducated on the body shop / insurance industry and how things actually work when it comes to repairing a vehicle. Blaming Tesla is easy when you run a crummy operation and have cut rate insurance. Each repair is unique and safety is priority to Tesla. Take your car to cheapest jerk on the corner and see if it gets repaired right. A layman looks a sideswipe and thinks yeah that should only cost a few hundred dollars 😂😂😂😂structural damage, facility cost, labor, materials, parts, technician...goes on and on, but yeah that should only be like a few days in the shop. Tesla has one of the best repair networks among any OEM. They only partner with the best. So tired of hearing these lies.

    5- computer touch screen for GPS mapping and reverse camera
    6 - DIESEL ELECTRIC hybrid would be fantastic .
    7- new battery charging technology battery charges from 0% to100% in 10 minutes instead of hours
    8- safety seats and seat belts like fighter pilots have
