Tesla is the world's most valuable car maker, and one of the most exciting brands in the game. Their leader Elon Musk is an internet icon, beloved by tech heads around the world. But what happens when those tech heads follow Elon into the car scene? Is the culture at risk of a takeover? We're about to find out

It's basically the same as Apple fans vs tech fans; especially when Steve Jobs was around.
I disagree because Apple is a different story. When Apple entered the phone market, every other company sold crappy quality phones. Apple succeeded because of the quality of their products. Now those companies have caught up. Some Samsungs today are just as good as iPhones because they learned from Apple’s success and used those ideas to their benefits. This gave Apple a luxury company look and made the iPhone the face of the smartphone market.This story is different when it comes to Tesla’s fans. The Car market was already doing great before Tesla arrived.Quality was going up in the first place and technology continued to grow. Tesla’s aren’t the best cars on the planet. There’s still Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Ferrari and Porsche. And thats only the performance cars. Teslas reliability is horrible. They still have to compete with cars like Toyota and Honda. At least Apple’s iPhones get support for almost 7 years. The iPhone 6s came out in 2015 and is still getting software updates. Thats the difference between Apple fans and Tesla fans
@@Inferno45 technology is bad. car software was really bad before tesla and waaay behind what companies like apple and google produce. tesla’s software is on par with these companies. they got by far the best self-driving tech. they’re one of the very few companies that actually make a profit from their electric cars. the companies you mentioned produce cars that are polluting the earth a lot more than teslas. they’re really behind in software. their self-driving tech? bad or non-existent, do they have convenient features like being able to pre-condition your car’s climate before you get in, software updates, great infotainment systems, etc. i totally understand that you may like the sound of engines, cars that are great to drive like porsches, ferraris etc, but you have to admit tesla pushed the industry forward in every way. there’s a reason why they’re the gold standard for all car companies. like the time audi and porsche had to redesign their electric platform when they reversed engineered a tesla, because of how far ahead tesla was.
@@user-qi3hf8ko3q self driving are for nerds just like all tesla cars. Oh gas cars are loud and smelly. Tesla fan boys are pantsies.
@@Inferno45 I agree with you that Apple phones are great, and the price may be justified to some (although I still think they are too expensive), but then you go to MacBooks or Desktops and it is just plain stupid how expensive they are. For the same amount of money of a MacBook you could get a proper PC or a better laptop from HP if you want that executive feel. And for the desktops you could get at least 1.5 times the performance from a PC built from parts
@@DonJulio510 maybe. i’m just bringing this up as an example of how insane tesla’s engineering is. also, self driving isn’t just for cars we own, but for robotaxis. this is predicted to be a multi trillion dollar market in a few years and tesla is set to be a leader

The vanity plate thing reminded me of a funny one I saw awhile back. Was a McLaren with a plate saying "bye 401k"
My favorite that I've seen so far was "L1GMA"
One that I see on my way to work every day is "IVOTEDEM" on a Mustang convertible. Like congratulations, you're politically aligned with the majority of people in the most liberal city in the most liberal state in the country. How brave.
A friend of mine got a Mercedes that said "B4NKRPT"
Best license plate for a McClaren would be "NO WIFE"
Saw one in Texas on a MKV Supra that said "NOTA2JZ".
It's the exact same brand association as Apple and their 'Cult of Mac'.
1. Make a competent product, position it as the alternative to corporate mainstream.
2. Price it high, but not out of reach of middle class.
3. Align product as a lifestyle product.
4. Consumers will defend the product/company as it reflects on them personally. To not support it would be akin to admitting they're wrong for buying it.
5. Perpetuate and profit

@@CWINDOWSsystem32That would be too less edges
important to also acknowledge that tesla stans harass journalists who publish articles critical of teslas themselves, of elon, of tesla's horrific work conditions, etc. they're mostly just annoying but they can cross a line to heinous shilling for the richest man in the world lol
Because at one point there was an enormous campaign, probably paid for by investors betting on Tesla going bankrupt, to get journalists to write critical articles. There were 3 new "Tesla is finished this time!" articles every single day. So anything critical sounds like scum journalists taking kickbacks to us.
What about people who claim Tesla/EV are bad for environment not realizing ICE has been bad from the start and has been running far longer than Electric cars? Sounds like shilling for cigarettes right? Or complaining the EV batteries are still a fire hazard while ignoring the fact that Internal combustion have daily fires run by you know, easily ignited liquid.

Car enthusiasm comes from understanding how they work and being able to perfect and improve your vehicle. It's the memories with friends wrenching on shitboxes OR racecars all night, and drinkin beers between coats and shit. Idk. Driving is the whole point of driving sometimes, because of the work I put in, and the improvements. Fuck an autopilot lol.
THIS, car enthusiasm is supposed to be about cars (driving, wrenching, admiring, etc.), but these days it seems most people use cars a dick compensation or dick comparison. Enjoying your car yourself? Nah, lets brag about how you are a superior person, for driving a "superior" car. Oh wait, your car is only 10th of a second slower then mine? Total shitbox, get a better car like mine!
@@xXYannuschXx I see it in gas cars too, people will get a 310whp car and say "any car with less than 300 is slow", then get it tuned to 390whp and declare "400 crank is the minimum for a car to be fast"
whats the point of a car if it drives itself
@@Videoswithsoarin lol true
@@Videoswithsoarin .... Private transportation. As the original goal of the car is. Tho some people view driving as a chore and rather have their car function as an appliance. Sucks for them tbh but I can see why
I would NEVER buy a car brand that would not sell me spare parts directly for me to fix.
You can, they have a parts catalog. Why do people think you can’t, that was like 6 years ago when they were trying to expand service centers and figure shit out and avoid people hurting themself on the 400v batteries
Yeah tell that to Rich Rebuilds. A company with such policies is not capitalizing on the vast majority of car enthusiasts. You know, the people who like turning a wrench and enjoy driving on twisty roads and good handling cars.
@@migueralliart His Tesla LS will be the only Tesla that is friendly to maintenance performed by the owner....It will also be the only one you can hop in and take a road trip cross the country with without having to plan a convoluted route around charging stations.
A 440 V potential difference is lethal to human. Many EVs run double that. You don’t want people getting converted to burnt marshmallow, doesn’t make for a good public image of the brand
@@LplusRatioLol I'm not talking about battery packs. But mostly issues with maintenance and other parts. Your tesla radio doesn't run on 400v nor the windows motors or other electronics. Tesla is still restricting sales of screens and even seats for replacements by customers. This is ridiculous. This is why they're limiting their sales to people who can afford 40k cars and don't fix em. They want them to just overpay for future repairs at their service centers. This ultimately will hurt them even if they keep releasing models to feed off the fed tax incentives.

Why hate fossil fuels ? How do raw materials reach factories? TRUCKS. How do the Tesla cars get transported to dealership?TRUCKS. Everything is connected to diesel trucks.

12:28 is so true. There are entire FB Pages dedicated to bashing certain car esthetics but at the end of the day, if who ever owns the car is enjoying it, Leave them be. I'll still roll my eyes but I won't bash their ride.
something everybody seems to ignore is that every tesla driver is rich. the only thing rich people have going for them is their money, and they're loud about it. tesla fans dont care about the car - they think its a status symbol to have a cheaply built electric car
edit: thanks for saving thicboi for me
False... I am far from rich, i barely make 30k a year, but with the right money management i am able to purchase it with only 4y loan paying 370 a month. Where is this entire rich thing coming from. if anything that only applies to the model S and x those are far more expensive.
All of Musks things started because tesla owners didnt want to breathe the same air as others
For original Roadster, Model S, and Model X, maybe. But Model 3 and Model Y, not necessarily as they are cheaper. As Nolan already said, some people buy Tesla because it suits their needs, say take advantage of cheaper electric power for example.

@@marioStortuga that’s true if you only look at the profit page of there quarterly report but if you also consider there expenses they make a lot of money of there cars, the problem is that they are building two of the biggest production plants in the world. Credits make it so they are profitable but if Tesla weren’t building massive factories then they would be profitable without selling credits.

Your a chill guy. I like you.

I know someone here in Missouri around my age with a e46 M3 he's restoring. They're pretty rad.

I mean I guess you can kinda say that as each car has their own characteristics (even EVs). Tho idk how they'd get the "analog feeling" or high rev part(I like the sound of EVs but I wouldn't call it revs).
That rant at 10:31
was personal we all know it. Nolan was practically telling a story and it made me laugh my a$$ off haha!

But at the same time I don't see why people get so upset, I see plenty of non tesla owners having license plates about either an engine type (like 2JZ plates on cars that come with 2JZs) or Vtec on Hondas, Turbo references on Turbo cars, hell if you want to get political, there's people with references that they are proud that their car is not environment friendly, bragging that "they're destroying the planet". I feel like the reason these EV plates hit nerves is because people are self conscious about their hobby, you really shouldn't care this much about someone's license plate, its a license plate.
@@arwlyx tell me how is 2jz and Vtec “criticising” because that’s the point he was trying to make
Definitely a mood I can relate to.
@@timemachine20yearsago73 if you understand the context then you'll easily see the criticism. Everyone knows Toyota and Honda fans are at war with each other. Only a Toyota (or Honda) driver will recognize that plate and see it as a "In your face, i'm better than your ". And this goes for Ford and Chevy Trucks, there's plenty of vanity plates and don't forget the millions of bumper stickers of Calvin pissing on the other side. Oh there is definitely criticism...you just have to be the right crowd.
Love the lock and load sound when Nolan adjusts his glasses.
Tesla owner here who discovered this channel through the Junkyard Digs video on your 52 Imperial first start. Loved seeing the reaction to getting that thing running, can't wait to see it driving! Just commenting that Tesla car guys do exist and there were some great points made in this video. I can't stand the Elon Musk worship but also think that is meme-fied and over inflated by the twitter crowd. The few Tesla owners that I've spoken with seem to be pretty reasonable on the strengths and weaknesses of the cars and the company overall. There are fit and finish issues, part delays, lack of transparency, Elon standard time and his false narrative about the reality of autopilot development. Sandy Munro's videos show the negatives but now he is even a fan. Overall, they are phenomenal cars and I'm very happy every time I go for a drive in mine, its the experience of driving one and the mission statement that makes people stay loyal to the brand in my opinion. I am excited to see other automakers enter the EV space, but want to see the same level of commitment to the charging network and automatic updates before I would consider another brand. Would love to own a classic car to wrench on one day, but for my daily driver I will be sticking to electric vehicles from now on.

In saying this, I’m more passionate towards the combustion engine within cars from the past and recent present.
Being a car enthusiast shouldn’t be a toxic competition between certain people that like certain cars. It should be more of a connected community of all people that are passionate and love cars altogether - whether any car and the people that are involved with them are focused towards the past, present or future of cars. 👍🏻
Agreed.
sadly no one in the car community besides very few people think like that, its full of hate

While I wish this kind of polarization was unique to Tesla vs ICE, I've found the same animosity between Subaru and Jeep fans. Both encourage owners to think of themselves as innovators, explorers, and pioneers. On paper, they should get along great; just two ways to achieve the same experience. Instead, both fan-bases use their distaste and elitism over the other as one of the mainstays of the ownership experience. If your identity as a car-fan is based on your distaste and superiority over another car-buyer, then you're toxic. The easiest way to rally people together is to give them an enemy to rally against.
btw a jeep is for the rainbow lads while subaru is for hill climb and nice sounding engines.
Jeep is overpriced trash lol
im a big Subie fan but I still appreciate Jeeps (even though they're a bit expensive) but Tesla fans CONSTANTLY belittle every other car on the market! They won't even release a decent utility vehicle, how do they expect to be the future? Also, ngl, as much as I hate the Mach-e, Ford is making better EVs than Tesla already

Tech enthusiasts aren't the same as car enthusiasts.
Tech enthusiasts see your old car the way they see computers and phones from the same year as your car - laughably out of date and unsophisticated.
Car enthusiasts appreciate the art and engineering of cars, the economics that play into building a particular car providing good value for money.
Tech enthusiasts just want the latest gadget. They are not car people, don't get it confused.
To be fair, the mass majority of car owners are not car people. . . I think a lot of the major manufacturers only have themselves to blame for pumping out the same boring cars year after year, as if to they couldn't be bothered to put in more effort, since ultimately most people need a vehicle and have to buy something.
Most of what Tesla does feels like a middle finger to the automotive giants, which I think is why so many people gravitate towards them, and have created this cult-like following.
If the automotive giants really gave a shit, Tesla never would have found a way to succeed; they filled a niche that never would have been there to fill, if other automakers acted like they gave a damn about the consumer.
@@normang3668not exactly.
Tesla is innovating, leading the industry with new batteries and motors, making by far the fastest electric cars. Even Porsche couldn't make something faster than the old p100d. Tesla markets their products similar to Apple, they make a big splash and get everyone talking about new tech. The mindless followers of tech are no different whether it's Apple or Tesla. Tesla fanboys are diehard over innovative technology that's new and different.
What you also need to understand is Tesla had been shorted twice by predatory short buyers who sought to profit off the death of Tesla. They borrow shares, talk shit about the company endlessly, get their media buddies to write negative, polarizing articles. This polarization is why people seek to defend Tesla. Polarization creates polarization, just look at how polarizing Trump is and how polarized the media and woke people became in response. You can blame Tesla diehards on greedy short buyers who wanted to paint an unfair picture of Tesla to get the stock to drop so they could buy it back at the lower price and profit. Some people bought into the anti-Tesla anti-Musk propaganda and spew it the same way people spew conspiracy theories - they think they're clever and know something everyone else is oblivious to, and feel righteous doing so since a moral attack is made against Musk, claiming he didn't develop the tech and all sorts of dumb bullshit.
Tesla tech today is nothing like what it was when they started with the Lotus Roadster.
Whether most people are car people is irrelevant to my point. Car companies want to innovate but don't have the expertise, and don't want to spend money doing so. They just rip off whoever is innovating and selling products. Just like everyone ripped off the iPhone when it first came out. Developing new tech is extremely expensive, and right now Tesla is leading the industry with innovation, and companies follow because people actually buy Teslas, they always sell out and this indicates a shift in market demand which companies them follow. There would be no new slew of electric supercars if Tesla was showing there was demand for them.

@@siddheshpillai3807 Yes, it is now ultimately a marketing game industry rather than a video game industry. All hype and no substance (unless of course you throw away your year old console/pc, buy the latest one and then pay for the features advertised in the promotional video). Cars are supposed to last a long time, the Tesla way is just going to make selling cars an even bigger marketing game than the video game industry. In the end we consumers loose out because instead of getting quality features and products, we get a bunch of useless heading specifications and features, which we can never fully utilise
