I wish they could get a proper Knight Rider movie (or tv show)off the ground. I love the idea that Michael Knight would be the new president of the Knight Foundation. This Tesla KITT is pretty awesome. It’s the wheels, the paint job and the red scanner that makes KITT stand out. Who would voice KITT, and who would take Michael’s place behind the wheel? I don’t think anyone could pull it off.
@@-taz- Sure, but with only half a season, and the car not being a true character, there is not much nostalgia for it. Also, I don't remember the car being put into crazy action scenes. There has not been emotional attachment from the audience to the car (an LP 400). But there is nostalgia for others that are re not characters : Ghostbusters' Ecto-1, Batmobile (TV's series and Burton), Outatime DeLorean, the A-Team's GMC Vandura, Starsky & Hutch, The Fall Guy's GMC K2500 Sierra Grande, The Duke's General Lee Dodge Charger, Hardcastle and McCormick's Coyote (inspired by the McLaren M6A). Still KITT is unique, and possibly the one with the most nostalgia of them all, as it was a character ... a witty character :)
I hope The Hoff accepts your invitation to take a ride and drive KITTesla! You've done a truly amazing thing and brought a piece of our childhoods to life too.
restoring 1984 talking view master records for Knight Rider historians 1 year ago was an absolute joy! I did it twice! with one having the booklet page beeps removed I'm still rather proud of that work.
i get a little tearful when i see the return to original location segments as it reminds me of my childhood which i think we all have fond memories of.
I was fortunate enough to meet the Hoff twice growing up in Hawaii. Once was when they were filming portions of the pilot episode of “BayWatch” (they had to film the underwater scenes in Hawaii instead of California, I assume because the water was warmer, and they used Makai Pier which my dad owned an engineering company on, and I was able to meet the Hoff while they were filming). The second time I met him was years later when they were using the same pier for an episode of “BayWatch Hawaii”. Very friendly guy.
I just found the raffle and got a ticket.. love this and since trying to make a car I bought 3 years ago, well had enough.. and this, you made an amazing car, and perfect KITT ... Love all what you have done to the KITTesla, and just amazing.. and like one actor in the show, '' it does look like a spaceship'' Amazing.. gosh.. always loved KITT and the show, watched so many times and this car is just as the real KITT.. Watched many of your videos and just now saw this and congrats on finishing it and now will go see the more recent video, Stay safe and the KITT 2.0 is coming along brilliantly.. Cheers!!! Congrats to you and the family.. ! 👌🏆
12:40 Ha! You went there, we LOVE it! And thanks again for yet another shout-out...your videos just keep improving, just when you think they can't get any better! Thanks, Peri!!!
This is incredible! Not only did The Hoff make a cameo, but also you put the icing on the cake: You giving away you’re KITTelsa. I’m so glad that I found your channel. You have lived the dream that I always wanted and I can’t thank you enough for what you and your crew do on this channel. Even if I don’t win the Tesla, y’all have made me smile and shed a tear like a child. I can’t wait for more projects, surprises, and fun. One man can definitely make a difference
To be clear, Peri isn't *giving* it away, he's selling it. He's just selling it through a raffle mechanism. Minimum 20,000 tickets, minus Raffall's "unlimited tickets sold, 2 month raffle time" fee of £90, then 10% to charity, and lets be generous and say a $10,000 shipping fee to get the car to its destination, Peri's making at least $100,000 off this, if the minimum number of tickets is sold. Half the revenue of the tickets if not enough are sold, and he keeps the car. So if 19,999 tickets are sold, Peri pockets ~$56,000 and keeps the car. If it turns out this is a super-popular raffle, and 40,000 tickets are sold, Peri will be clearing over $200,000 for the car.
Wow! The Hoff! What an honour that would be for you! I saw him once in person when he launched one of his books and signed in a bookstore here in Manchester. (only for a second, but as a German, this is like gold dust ;)).
Have to repeat myself: Love every minute of your Knight Rider stuff. Great modifications you did to the car, great editing and I mean… The Hoff?! Can it get any better. Well done, Perifractic!
I would change the voice box to a LLM (large language model) which knows everything about kit, and that pretends to be him. It would slow down the answer, but it would be so much more interactive… amazing work, as always! Such a cool thing to do, i love the series 😁👍 (PS: CZcams guidelines say „Your contest must be free of charge to enter“, and the raffall site is…quite shady, at least if you check the sites that know these things. I hope you don’t get in trouble for this ticket selling…)
KITTesla looks amazing. You done a good job keeping the dream of Knight Rider alive. I’m 52 now and I grew up watching the series when it was first aired in the U.K. in 1982. It’s a shame General Motors hasn’t come up with a modern day successor to the original Pontiac Trans Am. Whereas manufacturers like Porsche have cleverly rehashed the original 911 to look like a modern day Porsche but still looks just as good as the original. Not an easy task to achieve though.
Christian, your videos bring me so much joy and this one is absolutely no exception! Congratulations on what you've achieved with the conversion! Very very cool indeed!
A loooong time ago, as a conservationist working for the USDI - Bureau of Land Management, I designed, surveyed, and did the environmental clearances on the perimeter fence at the El Mirage OHV area. More than a few movies and TV shows the have been filmed there.
It has been an honor and a privilege to watch this project evolve from the very beginning and watching it now ending. We really need to put Tesla's tech into a Trans Am. Maybe one Day, One Man will again Make a Difference. Well, One Man and his Car. May the next future owner of KITTesla have good times with it.
What an incredible finale! Great work team RR! ❤ I was going to enter the competition until I checked out the import duties. Ouch! Sadly I cant afford it ☹
Imagine Kit Tesla driving in the highway and suddenly car stops and starts opening and closing doors, hood and trunk repeatedly and a loud voice coming from the car says “that was a big fart Kit!”😅
Awesome :) Now a tesla EV engine into a Firebird body... You can DO it!!! :) I admire the passion behind these projects. Since its only a V6, it could be EV too... Glad you keep the original! Kudos
I wanted a KITT big wheel. I had a Green Machine Big Wheel. My Father bought a new car back then and to this day my Father still laughs about me asking him to take to the Car Dealership to trade it my Green Machine for a KiTT Big Wheel. I had BIG Dreams back then haha! Every car I get now is all black exterior... with the exception of a Black and Red car I had.
Very nicely finished off. Great job. I didn't even realise how "grey" it was before the wrap. I knew it wasn't black but still looked ok. Love what you've done with the car. Also as someone who is, shall we say "EV hesitant", I enjoyed listening to your counterpoints.
The car, the man, the dog - all so stylish! Your obsession for all that is KITT is so fun to watch 😎it's like a piece of childhood being remastered bit by bit
I was just watching the video imagening I had a lot of money and how much I could offer you for KITTesla and the raffle came up. Tickets bought. Could it really happen? What a dream. Congrats to whoever wins.
👍🏽🔥 - seriously cool. As a long time Model X owner many of the aftermarket additions, we Model X owners have had for awhile. I’m also a Huge Knight Rider fan - hence the black MX. keep it up!
"Car will be in USA or UK at time of draw. Winner responsible only for all import duties." I'd enter if I knew it was going to be in the US (or knew an approximat import dutes" if it isnt) for the drawing. Absolute awesome job on the build though!
It's this kind of content that makes this one of the best channels on CZcams. Awesome work on this Fractic Family! I'm emailing Elon right now and telling him to start a production line of these!
A great ending, but also a bit sad, but it has been a nice walk down memory lane. Even if alot of my Knight Rider memories are now being mixed up in my head with a fractic stand in.
Cliff Richard still looks 21 😂😂😂 What an amazing high for Mr Knight to visit your channel 😎 I bet you found it difficult to turn that turn that yoke too far 😇😂🤣
Kids would love this. Midlife crisis- NO, it’s realising your boyhood dreams. My hat off to your wife, allowing you to do this and realise your dreams….🤣😂
Always good to see David. Only criticism about the action scene recreation: Need a bigger belt buckle. The belt buckle was as much a part of the Knight Rider team as was David and KITT. Great job with the car! It's been fun watching the vision come to reality.
car needs a turbo boost function. 🙌 and a super pursuit mode. 🏎️ and an a.i. llm with tpu so it can hold generative conversations while self-drivinga and ask it questions. and possibly lidar for more scanner sensor detection.
When I got my model 3 back in 2019, black was the default colour. I had to pay about £1500 extra to get grey. I really hope you didn't upgrade the paint to grey only to pay for a black wrap.
What an honor that must have been for the Hoff!
Hahaha

Plottwist: David wins KITTesla :D :D
You really are living the dream of every little boy that grew up in the 80's. Knight Rider was an awesome show.
Crazy to realize that David Hasslehoff is now 13 years older than Edward Mulhare was when he started playing Devon at the beginning of the series.
How about David taking the place of Edward Mulhare as the head of Knight industries?

@@bratton79 AI KITT voice. Plenty of William Daniels voice samples. No replacement for the Hoff.
Why does David Hasselhoff look like Edward Mulhare from 40 years ago?
"Time stops for no one"
I love everything about this channel, the original shooting locations, all the work you put into Kittesla, all of it. It’s very much appreciated
Fantastic episode. What a finale !
Next ... Airwolf !
Does anyone still remember Automan?
@@-taz- I do!

Ahh The Hoff, what an absolute legend! And how cool to get him to film a piece for your intro. The pinnacle of KITTesla content, great work!
LOL you realize they just paid him through Cameo to do this. He is literally wearing the same shirt as in his profile.

"Self-driving cars kill more people."
KITTesla: "I certainly hope so!"

I had a KiTT big wheel in 1986 I was the coolest cat on the block.
I wanted a KITT big wheel. I had a Green Machine Big Wheel. My Father bought a new car back then and to this day my Father still laughs about me asking him to take to the Car Dealership to trade it my Green Machine for a KiTT Big Wheel. I had BIG Dreams back then haha!
Every car I get now is all black exterior... with the exception of a Black and Red car I had.
A few of my friends in primary school had that, but I had the actual mini car version with 3 buttons that made noises with pedals!
Very nicely finished off. Great job. I didn't even realise how "grey" it was before the wrap. I knew it wasn't black but still looked ok. Love what you've done with the car.

Amazing my favorite TV show Kitt paved the way for Tesla and other Smart cars 💯👍🏾
What a fantastic video! The world needed a video like this that explains the clear advantages of electric cars. 👍
So much misinformation out there sponsored by the old guard and oil barons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Glad to hear you re olanning on doing videos with your KITT trans am,can't wait for those.
Another fantastic video, beautifully made and great music.
