I Hate it But I Love it - Diehard Petrolhead Drives a Tesla for The First Time in His Life
In this video I do something I have never done before and that is to drive an EV (BEV, battery electric vehicle) more specifically a Tesla Model 3. In the video I share my genuine and honest first impressions, my frustrations with the touchscreen, charging attempts and cornering experience.
I have to say that the driving was a lot more enjoyable than I imagined. Different but not that different. Some things, mostly related to the user interface were definitely not as enjoyable and were even frustrating. The goal of the video was to share honest and genuine feelings and impressions through the eyes of a petrolhead so that other petrolheads can get a relatable second hand experience of EV driving.
I also have to say that I'm ashamed the Internet almost managed to convince me into thinking that I must pick a side. Choose one over the other. Stand against EVs because I'm a petrolhead. I realized that I started to dislike these cars without ever having tried them. I started getting on a bandwagon and I think that's stupid and it does nothing other than rob me of new experiences. There's no reason to pick sides. It's just a car. We only live once so I think it's better to taste and try everything rather than argue about things. It's better to appreciate the incredible diversity of this interesting time we live in.
Thanks for watching.

    Again A really objectif point actually, That why in the quran there is a verse that says : 2:256 There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. And there are prooved facts that when the je#s were harmed and persecuted in europe and other places the only choice left for em is the peaceful muslim state cuz there is another verse saying : 5:8 O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah; It is sad to see foxnews peaple tarnish the islam religion

    12:01 pseudo science, the energy has already been transferred to the metal by the candles, so you ain't saving diddly squat, and that means it's not more environmentally friendly. The only way this can be environmentally friendly is if the temp diff is provided by solar heat from the sun or other natural & infinite heat source

    Stickier tyres require more brake force to overcome. Stickier tyres are my first upgrade after tint. My 1970 1000kg Torana with 215/50 13s stopped first stop better than anything from medium speeds. Four corners would be enough to cause constant lockups and stops from speed were scary with all the tramlining. I'd rather have extra redundancy and I hate the look of small brakes in big rims.

    Sorry, but I, would not be found in a ditch, in one of those!! As a former rally driver, whit a petrol engine (!), I would NOT , repeat, not, chose a EV! Never. In a "normal car", you can carry extra "power" in a can, in your trunk. Where in the hottest H..l, are you able to do the same, in a EV? Make a power slide with that one, on a gravel road? Look at the narcissistic man child, who is in charge of a pipe dream of Tesla. He, don`t care a shit, of his employees. They have a rate of injuries, through the ceiling! Just take a look of 911 calls from the factory. Get real of this: "EV Religion". It`s a fake, and it will be obvious ,in a short time. Tesla is going down, big time. Just as those Chinese "copies", take a look at "Serpenza;s" videos from China! Sorry to be a party pooper, but take a look at those videos, concerning the "marvelous" truck. It will cut your fingers of! And, the marvelous Cyber Truck, It Rusts! And, it is NOT bullet proof. Further, the "automatic" driver", makes you to get in a collision/drive you of the road. Also, I would be insane, by those flipper game noises, every time I do a bit of "crossing something"! Please, correct me, if I am wrong. Also, I like Your videos, much, keep them coming, but with a "Otto" under the hood. And, as a conclusion, I don`t dislike anyone's choses, I just happen to like, the roar of a gasoline engine, in high revs. And the smell, of leaded fuel! Just a thought, from a Engineer, " a Driver" and, a Finn in Diaspora

    Next time, rent a performance model 3. Spend fifteen minutes going through the menus line by line and set up the car as you like it… turn off all the noises. That beep is not the car it’s more likely one of the other electronics in your car. Familiarise yourself with the menu.

    • @d4a
      @d4a Před hodinou

      Why should I have to do that if I never had to do it with any other rental before? I did try turning off everything I could find, but I probably didn't find whatever this is. The only other devices in the car are my two cameras and audio recorder, as I'm sure you're aware it would be silly for those devices to beep while recording as it would ruin their own audio capture.

Please do not missunderstand - I like spirited driving as well but as a father I am a bit nervous seeing people driving those speeds around houses)… Again: nice video, nice analysis and I mostly agree as someone driving a Tesla daily and a Boxster as well as a A110 on weekends ;-) keep making videos

    I think the point is that if you’ve got say a Porsche 911 turbo s which is known for having the best stopping distance in the motor industry, it is very hard for a braking system to overcome the force of the top end tires which are used, and they modulate the brake pressure very well and the ABS reacts very quickly so to just say it is all about the tyres is also just as bad as saying it is all about how big the disc or calipers are. Manufacturers like brembo have got this nailed down like a fine art and know there are lots of different factors at play.

    Great video! I always wondered why SUVs seemingly have such tiny discs! Should be obvious once you think about aeroplanes, the A380 has a maximum takeoff weight of 575 tonnes and can stop from 200 odd mph to zero in less than 2km. That's on the order of 100,000hp of braking power. The brake rotors and stators in its bogeys are not massive, instead, they have 16 wheels capable of braking, and each has 5 rotors. Having said that, aircraft ARE usually torque-limited in the dry, and only become slip-limited in the wet, where they use ABS (in fact, the aerospace engineers invented the system).

    This is what happens when the tech geeks that used to sit in the cellar all day and night, doing who knows what, are loosed on the streets, get jobs (finally) and start messing up everyone's life by "teching" everything and ruining life for everyone. These geeks have always been dangerous because they have zero idea what it means to LIVE life, not just exist and be endlessly "entertained" (something that all kids MUST be these days, according to the "experts", whoever they are) and create things that mostly don't need inventing. These are the people who are dazzled by blinking lights, funny sounds and other trivia that stimulate their otherwise comatose minds. Life was a lot better when we had to MAKE things work and see the results instead of pushing a button, if you can find it, and have a machine do everything while our brains get weaker and weaker and weaker. As to the car, I have nothing against EVs. I don't, AT ALL, think they are for everyone for all circumstances. They have their place, but not EVERY place. As for people hating Tesla's, they hated the Prius too and some still do. But like you said, it's just a car. I had the chance to drive a Prius for a while and I LOVED it. It was borrowed from a family member and I didn't want to bring it back. Decades back, there was a song called, "In The Year 2525". Also a song, "Kids Of The Baby Boom". You MUST listen CLOSELY to both of those songs. Even way back then, some people already knew what was coming. Both of these songs answer a lot of questions and observations we now have. Decades back, machines were the slaves. Now we are. My current vehicle is 23 years old and has 200,600 miles on it. I'm doing everything I can to keep it running, even going as far as to not drive it. The day I have to buy a newer model of something, I'm going to cancel all my doctors appointments and stop taking all my pills, for good. Then I'm going to pig-out on chocolate. I'm going out with a smile...and a huge buzz!
