oh man, what a nice surprise this is. I’m one of the guys who made that kitt app and it’s just great to see it working pretty good after such a long time. I’m not sure why there’s many bad reviews though. Being old as it is it probably doesn’t work properly in some circumstances. I know that’s a shame but my team and I are working on different things in these days, every now and then we chat about updating that app, and we’ll talk about it again now that we’ve seen your video. So thanks a lot for this and the nice review on the store!
@@sagshan133 I think this is not available on android store now for reasons I don't know much about, I was in charge of the design and overall user experience so this should be asked to my engineering friends. I think the reason is something about the libraries we used which are not supported by android anymore while apple is more thoughtful about providing compatibility for older stuff, but I might be wrong.
Peri: “That takes a serious amount of pulling.” KITT: “I’m speechless.” One of the greatest unscripted moments. Or is my mind just in the gutter again?
ahhh, sweet nostalgia sweeping over me :) Knight Rider was my jam too back in the 80s, along with Airwolf of course and Riptide. Anybody remember that one ? Playing my C64 and later Amiga while watching these techy/nerdy shows, what great memories. And totally agree on the difference the yoke makes with autodrive, it's crazy when you see the yoke move so much. So...nearly 40 years later we finally are getting really close to fully self driving cars, at least one of the promises of the 80s movies/shows fulfilled....still waiting for my hoverboard and my time travelling flying car though
I remember an episode of the Knight Rider that KITT Exterior cost millions. So imagine the "Limousine" that drives "the "US President" is merge with TESLA and now we have something closer to "KITT". Remember that KITT is an Artificial Intelligence of a Super Computer, that is why TESLA is not there yet.
Wow, great video. Has anyone noticed the production quality has gone up exponentially? Cross-fades, drones, even 3D in the last shots. Besides the content, which is amazing, this really blows my mind.
The Knight Rider theme song has been my ring tone for ages and the woo woo is my text tone. I'll be doing something similar to my Roadster. Once I get it. In 10 years lol.
Once again you’ve blown me away with your video. The production of this video is so professionally done. You made me laugh several times with the airbag gag. Honestly CJ keep going with your videos. Very soon you’ll be at 1 million subs. Still can’t believe that you only just past the 100k. Your channel is a geeks paradise. And say hi to ladyfractic and puppyfractic too
@@a70duster Ah, it looked like it was still connected but I didn't look very closely. Given that he had "an ElectroBOOM moment" I wonder if maybe it was an effect he added in later (since that's a thing ElectroBOOM does most of the time too)
This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. My inner 9 year old (we all have one!) is buzzing right now! Also, the airbag explosions had me chuckling...a lot.
Before watching: Can we turn a TESLA into K.I.T.T. from KNIGHT RIDER? --- You darn well better! After watching: Nice job! The nostalgia is strong with this one. The re-done intro with the cast member names was perfect.
The 80's legit had the best TV shows of all time for kids to grow up watching, and aspiring to replicate some day. Sure the stuff these days has better realism, but if you give all the realism, you leave no room to feed your imagination, which is the foundation of building a better world. Growing up in the 80's FTW.
Yep Knight Rider, The A-team, Street Hawk, Airwolf, Hardcastle and McCormick and not to mention the whole Toymation era where we sat down and watched cartoons that were walking toy adverts. 💪🏿
I find this one week after it was published on CZcams and earlier today, at the home improvement convention, they had a replica KITT and I had a chance to chat with the owner. Serendipity. :-)
I feel pretty convinced that Elon himself would actually love your awesome mod - and just imagine if one day you would be able to order a Tesla with 'The official Knight Rider KITT package" straight from the factory. That would just be awesome and I feel like it could actually happen. It is Tesla after all. : ) Pure love
@@RetroRecipes btw a lot of those red lights etc aren't auctully allowed to be used on public roads so it would likely be worth wiring them to a seperate switch to save you getting in trouble with it tbh
At 27:36..... I just can't believe who awesome those cheep chinese lights looks in the Tesla 😲😲😲............ Elon have to add thouse from factory in the next Tesla model 🙃🤭..
Just bought my Tesla in solid black and saw your video because I want to turn mine into K.I.T.T and thank you for introducing the app! I can't wait to turn my car into Knight Industries Two Thousand! 🤙🏼
I was born in 80. Knight Rider aired from 82-86 with 90 episodes. Oddly enough I just last week started watching from the beginning all of the seasons. Love this content! I watched this religiously as a kid!!!
I'm glad I complained about you dropping the same chiptune for a half hour at a time years ago. Cause the musical score to this video flows like a 1970s progrock album now! All the transitions, all the drops, the keys, all of it brah!
What an incredible video. Yes, we've all dreamt of owning KITT when we were kids, but today I'll be dreaming of owning your modded Model 3. 15:16 - Sorry for your pain, we all felt it, but it's for a good cause. 21:03 - Awesome to the the self-driving yoke. 22:02 - Ladyfractic just fell in love! 22:13 - What a faux-pas :D 23:16 - KITT! You dawg! 27:25 - Gorgeous shots and sequence Next week: Perifractic installs a real Flux Capactor in a DeLorean, hits 85 mph and ... Oops !
Love your sense of humor and sense of adventure. Grew up watching Knight Rider. I'd be jealous but am happy a great fan like yourself found this kind of happiness. I also just watched your video where you got to sit in a real Kitt Car. So happy for ya bro! Cheers!
I put the scanner sound to play through the Boombox while I summon it, that’s about it as far as KITT mods. What you did to yours looks incredible though! You ACTUALLY made the yoke look fun.
When I got to the bit where you'd fitted the scanner and did the remake of the Night Rider intro I literally got a huge nostalgia buzz. Amazing. Well done. Great video. I just subscribed.
Thanks for the memories, I watched Knight Rider when I was in highschool. I always wanted to see KITT in person , now 40 years later. I find my favorite show from when I was younger. Thank you.
Came here by accident but TOTALLY enjoyed myself! You Sir, have yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the wonderful work and hope to see more of your projects!
Wow, you did the intro sequence amazingly 😁 Even down to the font and everything! You got the sort of 80's pastiche of all the little mannerisms like doing the cool "aw shucks" gesture of acknowledgment to some unseen person out of camera shot as you lean nonchalantly against the car while wearing your shades and giving the Hollywood smile 😄 Very well done!
I can totally see what you meant with realizing that it's actually self driving. It looks so much more impressive just by not having a round steering wheel. It's so simple yet impressive. Car manufacturers should have cars with non-round steering options for commercials. I bet it would increase sales just by having that. Can't wait to see what else you are doing with that car now.
8:15 - Now this image brings back the memory of this one episode of Knight Rider where Michael is playing the _IntelliVision_ game "Auto Racing" on KITT's screen (while KITT is driving) - using an _Atari_ joystick!
Coincidentally just today played with my Intellivision some Auto Racing and Space Battle, which was also used in Knight Rider :) Bonnie and Michael played it, but called it "Space Cadet" in 1st season episode "Nobody Does It Better" :)
Perifractic you will make me say it again "where does he get those wonderful toys?" - Joker. Every time I think you've outdone yourself, you come up with yet another fascinating nostalgic trip down memory lane and even managed to bring it in to 2022. You’re amazing, keep at it! Love the show!
So I installed the light bar on my car and had the wires ran the same. A few weeks later I was side swiped on the interstate. I took my Tesla to the collision repair center. After a month of repairs the tesla crew thought the light bar was so cool they re did the wires for me and connected it to the fog lights plus professionally installed the light bar with mounting brackets and lowered the bumper a few cm so you can see the light bar from the front. Super excited to see them do that for me
Hubcaps and trims (for the hubcaps) would be the next logical step, "Possibly Cobalt Black". in colour? (Darkening glass would also perhaps, so one can see out and not in - this might be illegal though). Also the opening of the doors automatically, and the back tailfin(s)? And - of course - a sliding sunroof! It is recommended that you DO NOT climb into the car when it is moving, however; obviously. (PCB reference in capital letters - in case you wondered why, LOL).
Brilliant!! I added a wireless doorbell in which you can add your own MP3 file. Using handbrake I added the scanner sound along with ‘excuse me’. With the doorbell button in the car and the speaker in the frunk, I can activate the sound and use as a pedestrian warning.
This is my favorite CZcams video EVER! I was 12 when the show first aired in SA. Stunning yoke! Awesome woo woo. Don't care if I sound like a kid here... Great stuff
Imagine if Tesla actually made a model three knight rider edition that they would have the basic black in the actual scanner bar integrated into the fiberglass of the front bumper of the car and it has a voice assistant with William Daniels on it that would be so cool
This video is hilarious. The steering wheel installation alone was priceless. Bravo! Sorry about your thumb btw, that does look like it genuinely hurt.
fantastic mods, Tesla def needs a "KITT" edition, Black with Tan Interior and the scanner ;) and KITT software that includes sound fonts for the car's sounds as well as KITT voice recognition and touch screen integration
Damn dude, you have a whole production team working on that intro?! And I have that exact same outfit as her!! although it’s getting a bit tight, and the lipstick is a little over the top now that I’m a middle-age man. But it makes me feel pretty
I’m calling it now… This will be the biggest electronics channel in few years. Especially if you do more teardowns and troubleshooting/repair videos. 😁 Rock on🤘
a driving licence (atleast in the us what i am told) is easy to do the tesla is a bit harder to obtain depending on your financial situation the kitt stuff on the other hand shouldnt be to expensive considering you probably already own a phone
The lights are a really cool mod, but make sure you don't have it on while driving: in the USA it is illegal to have red lights on the front of a non-emergency vehicle while on a public road. I was going to do this to my car about 20 years ago, until I researched the legality of it.
Here in the UK I had a PCB etched about 35 years ago, with a circuit made up by a guy at Glasgow University, the LED's were mounted in a piece of clear hosepipe, tie wrapped onto the front grill and had the running lights on one of my black 2.8 injection Ford Capris, always got a pull here in Scotland by the old bill, never charged, all they ever wanted was to look at the car, all black and lowered with a full KAT body kit on it, rear electric venetian blinds inside, these were the days, I was 19 at the time :) Awesome job as always with the video :)
Dude I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of your video. Very well done and excellent quality! Loved the airbag gag. You brought a lot of realism to a DIY installation, from the bruised knuckles to the fear of electrocution and the airbag blowing up in your face😆😂. Thank you again for this video. I can now live my childhood dreams vicariously through you...an avid Knight Rider fan. Keep up the superb work on the channel!
As a Knight Rider fan (along with having a crush on Knight Rider and KITT when i was 13) I LOVE this. Thank you CZcams rabbit hole suggestion. Also, giving your dog the little thought bubbles is hilarious! I look forward to seeing part 2.
Your excitement is infectious Christian! Great projects. I am very interested to see what you do next. I may even watch a couple episodes of the old series to set the mood.
Way before Knight Rider came along most guys just wanted fog lights. That was a big deal back in the early 70's. If one was lucky enough to have fog lights and a C.B. with a set of air horns, to play Dixie. And a nice set of extra wide oversized tires it was considered bad ass. Funny how guys love their toys and how they keep getting more expensive.
Amazing work as usual dude. From the opening, down to the driving off to the sunset. Hopefully your hand has healed up since you shot this. I guess it's the price you have to pay for the labour of love. Incredible, just incredible. Cheers!
I love what you did and having the self drive allows it to look as real as possible. I did the same thing to my 07 grand prix with the same scanner however got pulled over with white on scan reflecting off the silver paint making it appear blue. I ended up taking it off.
First time to this channel & I’m hooked! Absolutely love your work. Was holding off getting a Tesla but watching this I dunno if I can anymore… Thanks also for taking me back to the 80s & my childhood. 🥰

Can't lie - the best part was seeing the scanner go back and forth - really changed the car
Peri: “That takes a serious amount of pulling.”
KITT: “I’m speechless.”
One of the greatest unscripted moments. Or is my mind just in the gutter again?
Growing up in the 80s and 90s watching Knight Rider and Air Wolf had me watching this whole video with a huge smile.
Perifractic, The Knight Rider Historians salute you on a job excellently done!!! You're making us proud!

This was way cooler than I anticipated. And probably the only acceptable use for the yoke. Well done!

More than absolutely anything in this world, Peri really nails the nostalgic vibes of any retro project he tackles.
The makers of that app are having the best week of their lives
This reminds me for some reason that your Tesla is a Cylon “ now it just needs to say. By your command” I love it
Wow, he found the exact same road as in the original show at 1:28 ! That’s amazing! I see you put a link to the location in the description. Thanks!
Always remove the negative terminal from a car battery first. That'll make it way less likely that you short something out.
The negative terminal was removed when there was the arc from shorting the positive to ground. Either the HV circuit did that or photoshopped.
@@a70duster Ah, it looked like it was still connected but I didn't look very closely. Given that he had "an ElectroBOOM moment" I wonder if maybe it was an effect he added in later (since that's a thing ElectroBOOM does most of the time too)
The negative is removed with the spanner spark but before and afterwards using the socket the negative was connected. So done with editing.
This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. My inner 9 year old (we all have one!) is buzzing right now!
Also, the airbag explosions had me chuckling...a lot.
Really well done with the airbag joke... it was a joke, right? HA HA! 😄
"It doesn't have have a word for wife..." lol the smoothest way to get out that 🤣 good job!

Tesla needs to improve interior lighting and exterior design ready for kitt mods because its in demand
As Teslas are becoming more common, anyone with a black Tesla could make their own Future K.I.T.T.
I can totally see what you meant with realizing that it's actually self driving. It looks so much more impressive just by not having a round steering wheel. It's so simple yet impressive.

Holy moly!!
I'm guessing that is the road thats on the start of Knight Rider Peri's on, might need a Raleigh Chopper attachment rack lol
I had the kitt pedal car and I loved it as a kid and Knight Rider was my favorite show
If Knight Rider was made in 2022 KITT would most definitely be a Tesla!

Knight rider was 1 of my favorite TV shows on TV
Just the names at the beginning made this worth watching!
Love that introduction and matching the road scene 👍 also laughed a little too much at the "I'm not that stupid" montage at 16:20
Haha yeah I have to admit I laughed to after editing that bit and hitting play 😆 Glad you liked the intro. That was fun to shoot.
I enjoyed this way more than i even thought I would. So much nostalgia brought back through this. Oh, and I hope the hand is OK now!
All better thanks!
Fitting new airbag was like Pepper Potts fitting Tony Stark's, Chest Arc Reactor, featuring a palladium core
Wow wow wow you have taken me right back to my childhood. Thank you for this. I want to get my box set out and watch it all again.

fantastic mods, Tesla def needs a "KITT" edition, Black with Tan Interior and the scanner ;) and KITT software that includes sound fonts for the car's sounds as well as KITT voice recognition and touch screen integration
If Tesla did that and only made 1000 they would sell out fast.
I'll bet when you were younger you NEVER imagined one day you would own something like K.I.T.T. in real life. Is your mind blown?

You brought a lot of realism to a DIY installation, from the bruised knuckles to the fear of electrocution and the airbag blowing up in your face😆😂. Thank you again for this video. I can now live my childhood dreams vicariously through you...an avid Knight Rider fan. Keep up the superb work on the channel!
Much appreciated!
As a Knight Rider fan (along with having a crush on Knight Rider and KITT when i was 13) I LOVE this. Thank you CZcams rabbit hole suggestion. Also, giving your dog the little thought bubbles is hilarious! I look forward to seeing part 2.
Next ideas - Black tinted Windows, tinted rear brake lights (if legal) and a full chrome delete, replacing the chrome with matt black 👌
I love the part where Perifractic is so back in time he doesn't remember he is married anymore 😂
Yes. Yes. That’s what happened there.
Wow, back then, it was just a dream and a lot of special effects.
Today, we are -->
Damn. I almost wish K.I.T.T was a Tesla. So much more fitting than an 80's Trans Am.
Your excitement is infectious Christian! Great projects. I am very interested to see what you do next. I may even watch a couple episodes of the old series to set the mood.
You should always put blue locktite when putting the steering wheel back on, ask me how I know.
modern day "hot rodding" of sorts.Not every Tesla has these goodies!
Way before Knight Rider came along most guys just wanted fog lights. That was a big deal back in the early 70's. If one was lucky enough to have fog lights and a C.B. with a set of air horns, to play Dixie. And a nice set of extra wide oversized tires it was considered bad ass. Funny how guys love their toys and how they keep getting more expensive.
Amazing work as usual dude. From the opening, down to the driving off to the sunset.
Hopefully your hand has healed up since you shot this. I guess it's the price you have to pay for the labour of love. Incredible, just incredible. Cheers!
Awesome video! especially as I also own a black Model 3, called KITT.
Wow I remember in the final TV movie, michael carried around KITT’s main pc in a small box like a giant phone lol.
Life imitates art!
I love what you did and having the self drive allows it to look as real as possible. I did the same thing to my 07 grand prix with the same scanner however got pulled over with white on scan reflecting off the silver paint making it appear blue. I ended up taking it off.
Devon Miles:
Shall we drink to what is the start of...
Perifractic:
Of what?
Devon Miles:
One Man's dream
Perfect!
This was bloody brilliant.
A surveillance scanner on the inside would be a great addition.😁
First time to this channel & I’m hooked! Absolutely love your work. Was holding off getting a Tesla but watching this I dunno if I can anymore… Thanks also for taking me back to the 80s & my childhood. 🥰
