I don't think i have ever been happier seeing someone on youtube.
glad to see jack and ethan
Sooooo Happy,
The boys are reunited Fook CT! So glad Jack and Ethan are reunited with Alex, Auto Alex has just got 200% better!
Love the video. Only thing I’m missing is the actual calculations of the cost. It’s nearly impossible to spend £250 with the Tesla and the Saab only used a quarter of its diesel.
I was thinking the same would like to see an exact comparison in £
Fabulous trio
Can't believe you three are back together. Been waiting for this for ages.
More Jack and Ethan please!!!!!
And Edwin
It feels great, the brothers are back
Agreed ! It's been too long...
We all watch because you three. Ist like a team, like top gear
We need a cheap car challenge with Alex, Taylor, Rory, Tom Lenthall, Jack, Ethan, Edwin and Will. Like a 3 part special, old school Top Gear style, that would be hilarious
So 4 cars ime. 2 in a team or 8 cars...8 would be chaotically interesting
8, £500 shit boxes all going to the Nurburgring, sounds like movie material 😂
I like the idea BUT I think a change of format - each duo buys a car for a set budget, then all the keys are put in a bowl like a swingers party, they get a random car and off they go. The Ring is always fun but I’d love to see them go to another Euro circuit too, maybe Spa in Belgium?
Ok ill tell them and let them know
Has to end in a destruction derby
Finally. The boys are back in town. This is getting better and better. Alexs family is growing.
Have i just stumbled on to an alternate universe where Alex never left CT?
Love this, and love seeing the band back together 🙏🏼 just need a video with Alex and Gareth forcing Ethan to fix his own car and then we're complete 😅
Awesome. Jack and Ethan. Dream team.
They literally just brought on 2 new people on the CarThrottle Channel, didnt even ontroducee them, like we wouldnt notice xD
car throttle jr?
Better than that fat bottomed man
All unsubscribe to car throttle ✌️😂
They left Car Throttle
I've been waiting for this trio to return
It was brilliant to see the original three back together!
I'm impressed by the range of such a high mileage Model S and its aged really well - also there is no way it cost £250 to go there and back I've done Cornwall to London and back for £90 in an EV (also had you plugged in while going for toilet and coffee there would have been more than enough). But still really enjoyed the episode and look forward to more!
It's not that old, it's a 2017 model. We also don't know how many new batteries and engines it had. Alex said in his previous video about this car that it's still under warranty, which means he can get a new battery or engine if these fail. The previous owner might have done that more than once.
Prices for electricity have skyrocketed recently, like in the last year or two. So depending when you did your journey in an EV, this might be the reason for the price difference.
There were loads of ways they could have done the trip without hassle (just do what the satnav tells you to regarding charging), but that would have been a boring video.
Instavolt is also one of the most expensive charging networks, filling that Tesla fully twice would have cost £148 to do approx 250 miles. Had they used Tesla chargers it would be £70, charging at home before setting off would have got it down to £7 to fill up. I cant see a diesel car doing 600 miles for £25, but to be clear they quoted that £25 as the cost of driving half way, which sounds fair, and is marginally cheaper than that Tesla, a newer smaller model 3 would use 2/3rds of the amount of electricity the model S uses.
@@insanityideas Spot on. Teskla superchargers are still somewhat reasonably priced - they could have also taken out an Elli sub to charge on 3rd party networks for about 60p a kwh vs the 8--90p instavolt/osprey charge
@@insanityideas I don't believe it would have been £250. The car would easily do 3m/kwh, so 600 miles = ~200kwh. Even at Instavolts ridiculous charge of £0.85 that is £170. £250 is the best part of 300kwh, so he's suggesting the car only got 2m/kwh, it's not an Audi :)
Why is electric charging soo expensive in the UK? Obviously most people would charge at home, but when the Mrs charges her car at a tesla super charger from about 10% to about 80% it takes about 20-25 mins and costs about $35 (that is that is somewhere around 200 miles). And that is in California (where things are more expensive). Crazy! Love the boys being back together! Congrats Lads!
tdi jetta about 50 bucks will get you 600 miles. that electric car is crap
@@moparjr89Jetta is crap
@@moparjr89On 26 litres of diesel? Your getting over 100 miles per gallon? Sounds like bollox to me
@@moparjr89and how often do you do 600 miles in one journey?
@@Joe-wt4nnbro thinks he's in a VW XL1
Feels almost nostalgic with Alex, jack and Ethan back together 😃
Been waiting for the big reveal of Jack and Ethan. Glad they’re joining the AA family. And big kudos to Alex for bringing everyone back together.. the auto Alex conglomerate is becoming the CZcams equivalent of a rock supergroup. And I’m 100% here for it!
Are they permanently joining?
@@robinlenaerts4439 Don’t think so, but they’ve launched a new channel called “all the gear”. And I’m fairly sure it’s funded by Alex, similarly to the Top Dead Center channel
@@oliverrice8869 Oh I didn’t know! gotta go check that out! thanks!
It was going to happen it was just a matter of time!
@@AsherPiesman I’m sure they’re already self sufficient now, cause their channel blew up and they got the usual sponsors, like car vertical, on board. However, I think Alex probably got them off the ground to start with. Nothing wrong with it, I think it’s commendable that he’s supporting his friends.
Genuinely super excited to have Jack and Ethan back on CZcams, more please, they're a great duo!
Ummm, you too Alex I suppose.. (lol, joking, you've made CZcams the new petrol head watering hole!)
I love how Alex helped all the guys from CT to get on their feet and have the freedom they needed.
The boys are back!!! 🎉
in town
JACK AND ETHAN ARE HERE!! THIS ACTUALLY MAKES ME SO HAPPY OMG THANK YOU ALEX
I wondered why there was a random stranger on car throttle
It's impressive how the original S still looks fresh today and how well it has held up over getting on for half a million miles.
That is one good looking car
Apparently it was an ex-taxi and has been several times fully renovated
@@viffviffer9804 any evidence of this? I can get behind it having a new battery but I can’t see anyone renovating a model s
this is already a facelifted Model. The original modelS totally looks "its age"
@@RollingShutter it had a grill and some lights. Hardly a new model
So good to have the trio back together! Jack's laugh is infectious 😂 top work boys, more of this please
FUCK YES, THE LADS ARE BACK TOGETHER! I BLOODY CALLED IT WITH MY LAD EARLIER THIS WEEK THAT THEY MUST BE COMING BACK TOGETHER.
CarThrottle is done lol! Glad to have you back guys....
And to Ethan, I still apologise for my language at shedfest in the elevator when your lad was with you last year..... and then again when I spoke to you and Alex at the table in the viewing area later.... again with your lad present! 🤦♂️
Lol
Yes good to see them. I don't know how it'll work with so many though
@@stevenwoodman1032 they're under their own channel
@mattparkin7224 What's their channel called?
What did you say to Ethan? That’s actually pretty grim for him but least you’re admitting your wrongs.
@@mattparkin7224 i mean Taylor and Rory. Not tdc. I think Jack and Ethan and Taylor are all great though
The Top gear trio of CZcams is back! With TDC and rory and Taylor. Every video will be insane no matter what. The chemistry is insane I love it ❤️
Dont forget Tom Lenthal!
@@cashoui you are right! As well as Gareth!
These three back together is just right, would love to see them more with the autoalex crew
It was so great to see Ethan & Jack, i would love to another episode of car guys/non car guys with Alex and Ethan
Can’t wait for the antics of Taylor, Jack and Ethan and Rory!! The best CZcams channel just became a whole lot better🔥
Yes!!
Came here to say this!!
Can’t wait to see some challenges with them all together! 💯🔥
Big YES! Love all of them guys. Greatest Car-CZcamsr team!!! So much fun and entertainment. Rock on! Seeing this episode made my day ❤
Think I smiled the whole way through this. Seeing the three of you back together is fantastic. For me, that was what made CT so good!
Oh love to see the original squad back together again. hoping for more whacky road trip videos in the future!
So refreshing to see you guys back together! All the best to all the channels you built!
2 minutes in and we have Ethan, Jack and Alex back together for a video... this trio is legit one of the best on CZcams... would be so good to see them back a bit more with all the lads and channels that have started recently too.. absolutely brilliant crew of fellas working together
SO glad to see Jack and Ethan again. I'm looking forward to seeing them more in the future!
So is Car Throttle dead now?
It brings a warm feeling to my heart to know that I started watching with CT, watched everyone fall apart only to come back together better than ever!
TG Style challenges are already pretty good vibes here, but my god with the whole group there'd definitely be great laughs, GO ON LADS!
Fun fact!! I once watches a show where they compared tire pressure with fuel consumption, and they were actually surprised that the BEST mileage and lowest rolling resistance was on a slightly lower pressure 😮
That's totally negated by the HUNDREDS of people in the Hypermiling forum...
NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY! I met you three at the grand tour release in London and genuinely seeing you back together just reminds me of that night and how genuine the friendship is!
Man it's so good seeing the old trio back at it :D
This episode is like topgear merging to grand tour - it makes perfect sense and with added taylor, rory, and tom - it’s GREATER than topgear could have been . DO NOT MISS THIS TRICK ALEX !!!!
It makes me so happy to see Alex, Jack and Ethan together again, looking forward to the future of all the channels now!
You are giving me Clarkson vibes, he left top gear, Hammond and May followed. You left car throttle and you have taken Rory, Edwin, Will and now Jack and Ethan under your wing. We salute you Alex! So glad to see all these channels and whats coming from them 🙌
He got sacked for assault. He didnt leave anything
This lot are way better than the Clarksonite TG old farts anyway.
No he didn't. His contract was not renewed......@@aaroncousins4750
@@aaroncousins4750 who?? WHAT?? LMAO
Alex is totally like a younger, more handsomer and taller Clarkson!
This is what everyone’s wanted ever since Alex left.. and I’m so happy to see them all back together 😁 Proper Top Gear vibes between these three 🥲
Seeing all three of you guys back together really is great! So glad! Keep it up lads!
Great to see the gang back together! Well done Alex - giving the fans what they want!!
the instant smile on my face at seeing you three back together... here’s to the future of autoalex, TDC & all the gears, and good riddance to car throttle. you’ve got it boys!
Corporate 'acquisitions' never work...
Just seen the new channel. Can’t wait to see what all the boys get up to!! Also amazing to see Jack and Ethan back with Alex
which channel
@@Kohai.9 "All The Gear", Jack and Ethan's new channel. Just uploaded their first video an hour ago.
@@racehork7314 where did u find it? I cant see it in youtube search
nvm found it in the description
Cant see it?!?!?
Great to see you guys back together. Happy times indeed and beyond excited for future collabs. All the Gear got an instant sub from me.
Kudos to the editor, great transitions and video compositing. And hooray for the new team members!
Lovely to see a Ethan, Jack and Alex still have that old chemistry.
CT may be dead but the future potential collabs live on
Seeing the boys back together has genuinely made me smile 🙂 can't wait for more adventures from use 3 plus Taylor and Ror-ry
And Edwin sorry 🤣
Please tell me I’m not the only one expecting the “interesting facts with Ethan in a car” jingle
"It's 7 PM...and I am in Cornwall..."
Well, you can see the pain in his eyes. 🤣
Glad to see you 3 back together in a video.
Can't wait for an Autoalex - All the gear collaboration video. Going on an adventurous road trip maybe to Iceland, Vietnam or Australia somewhere exotic and exciting.
It’s all back to normal! Keep up the great work guys!! CT round 2 ❤
As much as i love the old trio, i have to say that with Taylor and Rory there are a lot more laughs. 😄 Glad to see Jack and Ethan doing their own thing, but within the Alex family. Keep up the good work 💪
Seeing the band back together almost brings a tear to my eyes 😢. The possibilities of this channel with the teams of Jack/Ethan, Edwin/Will and Alex/Taylor is amazing! Keep it up guys!
I actually shed a few tears seeing you three together again, helped me through alot of hard times. Welcome back Jack and Ethan!
That made you cry? 🤨
@@truculenttabascoDid you read his comment? Don’t be a melt. OP - Hope you are all good now though pal
Jack repping the Juicebox hoodie makes me a proud teary eyed irish person, my god it's like reliving the old Top Gear days boi oh boi am i glad to see the trio back♥♥
Welcome back lads😁 Happy about it! Also, can we just appreciate the fact that the Tesla still did 200 or so miles still after what a life it had? Goes to show there is still some life left in them compared to other sh ev’a of the time.
OMG!! More clips with you all, the old crew and with the new crew!!! Its like top gear with Alex, Jack and Ethan 😂
I say YES please.
I'm so happy! Literally this feels like getting back together with your best mates after a long time. Awesome that this reunion happened!
JACK!!! ETHAN!!! ALEX!!! The dream team together again 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Oh thank god Jack and Ethan are back man. It's like old times again and how it should be.
I love this channel.
Loving it. Great to see the team back together !
Ohh man. Love this video.
This group is the reason why we continued watching CT over the years. Great chemistry. 😊
Loving the GS430 that said Hi at the start - if the wheels are from factory then that's also a sport trim; a 430 sport is a rare combo.
It is! nearly on 200k, 02 430 sport, owned it about 3 years now, best car I've ever owned
bonus points, it has a black interior too
Through a rough patch in my life your route with Jack and Ethan in the NC500 catch me as a fan of the trio and cars in general. Thanks for those's memories and for this new experience you now share with us Alex!
Lovely to have them on the channel again. I really enjoy all the collaborations with other car CZcamsrs, always great content and keeps it fresh.
I'm loving seeing Jack and Ethan! ❤
I can’t contain how happy it was to see Jack, and then to know Ethan was there as well. Alex changing the UK car scene on CZcams with his mates. Perfect!!
Classic Car Throttle! Glad to see these two back on the screen and look forward to the adventures of AutoAlex & Co :)
Winner!!! Ethan and jack finally back!
YAAAAYYY Jack and Ethan are back!!
Amazing to see Alex Jack and Ethan back together
This is like topgear without the production value.
I love it
The boys are back...
I was smiling throughout the whole video, genuinely made my week. Great to see you three together having laughs once again, you deserve the best !
I’ve marked the day in my calendar the day the band got back together. Hooray! 🎉
It just works soooooooooooooo well
You can see how happy Alex is
Make it full time!
Not going to lie; Rory is better at pulling focus. BUT IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL TOGETHER!
I think it's kind of funny how after 140 miles the thing that made them stop was the human body, not the electric car. Had they stuck it on for a quick charge even whilst taking on and expelling fluids, could have probably got a few dozen more miles out of it.
… on a 10 year old EV with half a million miles on it! Not really seeing any EV fails here also that age it’s probably got free super charging.. so they’ve wasted their own money at the beginning charging on that osprey 😂
@@joeynessilyabsolutely, going by the reg number should have free supercharging. Where did they get £90 from? That battery's is probably around 75kWh, add some charging losses let's say 80 Could have charged at home at night for 7.5p/kWh that's about £6. Even if have to pay at supercharger, my nearest one is 45p/kWh so about £36
Considering how long it takes to download the app and finding the right cables, if they done this they would also need to change their pants.
@@sturmeko what app? They already had the Tesla app, as Ethan was looking at it while they were driving. But you don’t need it to charge at a Tesla charger. No idea why they would stop at that slow charger in Penryn first.. there’s no app for the Contactless payment on the McDonald’s charger. Also the cable is tethered.
Point is .. if they stopped at the Tesla charger for a couple minutes when the car said to stop, they could have driven max speed, all the way to their destination.. and it would have been free. No need for all these theatrics and hyper mile-ing nonsense. The car is very fast and £0 per mile to run, that’s why it’s still 9k with all those miles on it.
@@semsainarsthird party fast chargers are ruinously expensive. Last time I checked, the revive point near me charged 60p on semi fast charging, 95p on fast charging.
So good having the trio back together!!
Great to have jack and Ethan involved.
Yeeeaah the band is back together!
I’m only at 20-ish mins so I have a little left but honestly, I’m impressed! It’s an 8 year old sub 10 grand Tesla pushing half a million miles and it made it a very respectable distance! Would be more than perfect for me living in London and tbh most people as the range is high enough.
Maybe you do it later on but you can also just charge by towing the car.
Anyway, I will get back to the video!
They also stopped at the half way point for a coffee and loo break, had they plugged it in while they were stopped it's very likely they'd have made it with energy to spare, though granted that wasn't the point of the video.
Scrolled down to see if anyone EV minded has looked at this video. Yes I like the 3 are back, wohoo! And I am somewhat pleasantly surprised by the first 20ish minutes. And then, a statement that it costs 80 quid to do in electric what you can do in 30 quid diesel. How? That pack has say 75kWh, and has been fully discharged. Supercharger price is around 0.5£/kWh, so 40£. If Alex had charged at home, would have been 10£, which you can not do in diesel, for a total roundtrip cost of around 50 quid. Diesel 60 quid. No story, nothing to talk about. How did we get to nearly 200 quid to go back home? I can't imagine how to spend 200£ on electricity on a 500mile trip, even with bad weather, AC, speed +VAT, we're talking of 400kWh worth of money, 1500-2000 miles, more if you hypermile. /rant over, glad to see Ethan, Jack and Alex back
@@dragosmihai3489 looked like they started at an Osprey charger, which is potentially 80p/kWh, but the numbers still don't add up. I think he's added up both charges, which is essentially double counting the cost. You either start full and count what it takes to get back to full, or you start empty, fill and run it empty.
Realistically if they managed 4mi/kWh, the 268miles they drove will have used 67kwh at a cost of say £46. So a bit more than the diesel, but most EV owners would have started with a full charge from cheap home electricity and the outward trip would have costed a fiver.
@@dragosmihai3489 the chargers they used charge 0.85p kwh. its a 90 D so about £76 to fill it once there and once back is easily £160 quid
Not that impressive once you know it's now on the 3rd HV battery and third drive unit 😂😂
Best choice bringing Jack and Ethan along, not to mention you guys are obviously good friends but they definitely bring in even more to the channel, first time im ever excited about something like this
So is Car Throttle dead now?
THEY ARE BACK!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! THE TEAM IS BACK.. We have CLARKSON, HAMMOND AND MAY at home..... but it makes me very happy
The band is back together 🙏🏻
Jack & Ethan, Holy Shit the most Holy thing I've heard in ages 😂😂
Ethan and jack are a treat!
Can they collectively replace Rory?
PLEASE??
and there we go, Jack and Ethan are back with Alex, the iconic trio is back together
The band is back together! Happy days!!!
Amazing!
Jack & Ethan 🔥
Love to see some trips with them, Rory and Taylor 💯👌
Was great meeting you at Petrolheadonism Underground. Great to see the 3 of you guys back on screen together. Can't wait to see you unveil your m3 touring at shedfest!
Seeing you guys all together again makes me so happy! So good! 🎉
Would you look at that! Ethan and Jack appeared out of the blue... who knew eh 😉😂 so glad to see you guys back together!
Refreshing to leave Taylor and Rory behind
Good to see the boys back on screen. Down with Car Throttle!
Let’s make sure we keep Taylor and Rory on screen too - get a top gear challenge going!
Loved seeing you 3 back together and making videos again!!! The OG CT team is back together, but with the freedom to do what you guys want and that to me is just epic!!
It was also cool seeing another Saab on the channel! 😎 Cheers!
2015-2020 peak memories, love all but its memories man, shed a tear almost!
im happy to see the trio back together (alex, jack and ethan)
Yes!!!!
Yes yes yes!!!!! The boys reunited finally!!! Great to see Ethan and Jack 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Absolutely bleeding fantastic. This has made my day. the dream team is back. Brilliant, and a big thankyou to you Alex for all the great entertainment.
Yay Jack and Ethan 👍👍👍👍
This challenge is the equivalent of taking an ageing high mileage petrol car on a journey it obviously can’t reach with the fuel it currently onboard, to a place with very few petrol stations and of those, some have a different style of pump 😂 In the real world, that place they stopped for a coffee would have been a great time to plug it in. Most accept contactless payments too. Great video though, nice to see the team back together 😁
so glad jack and ethan are back, please be a permanent thing
Pretty good going for 450k miles! Charging would have been much cheaper at Tesla chargers / at home. Also - pretty sure I saw the Saab stop for diesel…? Anyway - entertaining to see the trio back together 👍
That model s would have FREE supercharging actually, the comment about spending £250 is nonsense
@@mamba101 Click baiting and shaming EVs is bringing in the views...
Yes the Saab stopped for diesel for 5 minutes, hassle free at one of the many fuel stations. I'm not anti EV but the public infrastructure is terrible
@@bencocker7487 I agree the public infrastructure is not great but the Tesla network is great - I use it and never had any problems, never had to queue. It’s an entertainment show so I get it doesn’t have to be factual... but it is easy to get from reading to Cornwall and back in a Tesla and pretty cheap, they drove past several Tesla superchargers to go to the expensive and rubbish alternatives. Even in a non Tesla there is a massive fast charging hub just off the M5 at Exeter…
@@willrossetti2360 that’s true, but at the same time they went out of their way to make it more difficult.
