Just wanted to throw it out there that this has nothing to do with april fools day ahaha.
Please race my Model 3 Performance before you sell it! We met at the Petersen a few months back. It would be the first time a 600 LT and Model 3 Performance raced on CZcams 😎 We could either come up there to LA or you could come down here to San Diego
All I have to say is that a v12 does sound better then a twin turbo v8
kinda reminds me of the opl sueing dodge over all the lies with tg New Demon 170 people that bought original said they would never make a demon again.but then they due but offer all people tgat kept their demin firsr dubs on demons and their vun number. all lies including so so so many other lies just in the unveiling. My big thing is first demon they claimed 9.6 sec 1/4 mile and so many other things. and n8bidy has gotten 10s or under on prepped surface drag wheels and tires etc until a few minths ago in factory for 4 years after release a girl finally got 9.6. new one says 8.9 sec 1/4 mile. Anyone tgat knows or works on challengers knows $100k Demons with over $100k in mods with only the chassis left from factory. completely built after market motor, after market big supercharger or turbos, gm style turbo 400 race transmission cabon fiber on every removable panel (doors hood trunk etc) complete race suspension. Demon records were lows to mid 8s. kinda tells you demon 170 will have issues with 8s if you look at the time it ran at unveiling just time it its 10s but at altitude. But weight shape etc car is not a good drag car. same weight you can get a v8 awd F150 (with short cab single bed hitch and soare removed ) for 35k and just 15k in boost and fuel you can make up to 1200whp and run 8s if you want with stock sealed motor and mustang gt same thing just boost and fuel system 35k plus 15k and make up to 1200whp and ppl with stock sealed 5.0 have run 7s in the 1/4 with built trans but stock sealed motor no heads no cams no pistons no rods no opening the engine unless you want to go built motor which then you can make up to 2000hp. So why these bs barges and more lies so many ways.. Mustg gt or f150 or even gt500 (done right) trans holds gt500 back but all can run faster than plaid or demon. for less money. but like engineering explains on road no demons gonna get close to plaids. surprisingly because of the f150 v8 big turbo having awd. on the stret its the only ine beating a blaid from a dig
Vehicle Virgins Great Video I'm sorry to hear that you lost 30k on your Tesla Model S Plaid and spent so much on Tires and I think you should sell it before you lose even more and use what you get for on a Revuelto and keep your Absolutely Gorgeous 600LT on the channel
youtube channel “Tavarish” Freddy Rebuilds a Mclaren P1 yellow 2 million car.. hits 1 million views in one day. to answer your question.
That Mclaren would be hard to beat. That spec is incredible! Wouldn’t mind a 765 replacement though haha
Get the lambo!
Maybe he is not an asshole that wants to contribute to the rate of cancer and climate change. But maybe you are.
I switched to the 19s on my 2021 Plaid and haven’t looked back! I highly recommend it!
I appreciate your efforts parker you are doing really well keep it up
Parker,
This happens all the time in the automotive world its not exclusive to tesla. When you bought the plaid when they came out in late 2021 the world was still going through a crisis of cost of materials still being the roof. This effects alot of companies including Tesla. As the cost of these materials decline so due the prices on most manufactures like right now. Also prices of things never stay the same. Supply and demand Sales the economy etc etc effect car prices all the time.
As an example when the taycan turbo S came out before the plaid. It was $250k before tax now a simple look at Porsche's website you will see that the taycan is now starting just about $200k $50k loss for early adopters. Where is the outrage of porsche owners for this ? Im sure there is some but when it comes to tesla its this weird thing of as if "Only tesla did it" which is not true. Tesla just seems to always be crucified for things that happen in the auto sector all the time because they got everyone (old Oem's) running scared due to their massive success.
You also have to keep in mind that tesla is a very unique case in the whole auto industry as an investor as well you need to understand that they truly find every-way possible to pass cost savings to their costumers compared to other Oem's. As an example they are going to build a $25k tesla model in the next few years and they are going to build in such a way as your mclaren was built where 4 major parts come together and the car gets built real fast. That is unheard of in the auto sector for mass market cars and only on super expensive cars like a lambo, mclaren or ferrari.
Cybertruck is going to be another situation like this when they start rolling off the line this summer. Price is going to be the highest and after they go through the back order of 1 million plus pre orders they will lower the prices as they reduce costs in manufacturing and times goes on interest rates get better economy changes etc.
You were an early adopter of a new car especially new tech that has never been done before in a Ev let alone high performance cars.
The tire situation you seemed to mention was more on Michelins side vs tesla. Tesla played a part but regardless of the car choice the thinner the side wall the the lower the profile tire, The more likely your going to get flats. Ive heard the opposite experience with people running the 21s on the plaids and i bet the way you drive the cars has a bit to do with it as well.
Regarding the FSD people seem to get this confused all the time
Weather you pay for the full price of FSD up front ($15k) or the $199 subscription your not paying for FSD BETA which you now have and had to qualify for.
You pay for the available features in the FSD suite which are....
Navigate on Autopilot
Auto Lane Change
Autopark
Summon
Smart Summon
Traffic Light
Stop Sign Control
You are paying for the CAPABILITY of when that part of fsd (city's streets) comes to a stable software version you get it sent in a free software update of the city streets or any future updates to the fsd suite. Notice how i called It FSD and not FSD BETA. Two different things.
What you get when you pay for FSD capability and the FSD beta (that you have to qualify for) are two different softwares. You should also add that you don't have to opt in for the FSD BETA, you still get all those features i listed without doing the safety score qualification for FSD BETA because that is what you are paying for and now even thought the safety score still shows up when you request FSD BETA you don't have to have a certain score anymore. When the next update goes out you get it regardless of your score. You unfortunately just like the plaid situation caught it early on and had to go through the price you pay for early adoption.
Hope this clears up some stuff for your viewers and maybe your self.
Love the content and your channel.
i ain't reading dat
Damn, I'd like to meet anyone with enough time to read a youtube comment that long
@@JoshL_76 here's ChatGPT's summary:
Price fluctuations in the automotive industry are not exclusive to Tesla, as supply and demand, sales, and economic factors impact car prices. For instance, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S initially cost $250k, but its price has since dropped to $200k. Tesla, however, faces more scrutiny for these fluctuations due to its disruptive success in the industry. The company aims to pass cost savings to customers, as seen in their plans to develop a $25k model using an innovative assembly method. Finally, Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) suite and FSD Beta are two separate offerings, with the latter requiring qualification and not being included in the base FSD price.
Here's CharGPT's CZcams comment:
Price fluctuations are common in the auto industry; it's not just Tesla. Early adopters often experience price drops, like with the Taycan Turbo S. Tesla gets more scrutiny but constantly works to pass savings to customers. Remember, FSD and FSD Beta are separate offerings; Beta requires qualification. Hope this clarifies things. Love the content and your channel!
I got the 19" on my '23 MSP. More range, better comfort, less tire noise. I understand wanting the '21 for 200 MPH, but since this is my DD I'd rather have a 170 mph car with all the benefits of a bigger sidewall than doing 200 mph on the Autobahn.
Damn, that a tough one. Lamborghini got that V12 though 🔥. That self driving beta point is a bummer, that'd grind my gears
Get a VF engineering STO and don’t leave the channel hanging with the plaid until next year for the delivery of the new V12 lambo
I’ve got a 2015 P90D and it has had A LOT of punctured tires. I’ve always got to the shop before going fully flat however. So I agree with that being an issue. But I don’t care about the price changes. My 2015 cost way more than Plaid ever did. But I’m happy with my car. I’m also happy that new owners can get an even better Model S for less money. Maybe when my warranty expires at the end of this year I’ll be a new Model S owner again!
I’m surprised. He has a ton of fun videos with it
When you bought a car pre covid, you lost 30% of its value when you drove it off the lot. Nothing different with Tesla. PS cars are not an investment. You bought it when demand was high and supply was low. Since Tesla is its own company without dealerships, they have to save cost or prep for recession. Normal car dealers have been marking up prices like crazy even before Covid. 2 people buy the same car, but price differences can be huge bc one sucked at haggling. Welcome to the market, its how things work. People who bought a home last year are down 100k+ bc of values falling. People who bought homes in 2007 saw 50% loss in home value in 2009.
If you bought a brand new S Plaid right now, and value goes back upto 140k next month, you wouldn't cut a check to Tesla for the difference right?
Fantastic vlog! Great analysis of your critique of Plaid ownership. I didn’t know all of those issues. Being a relatively new company, there’s so many hiccups it seems.
The 675LT has been your car for a while. It’s synonymous with this channel. However it may be time to move on to something new. The Revuelto would definitely be a worthy successor!
Tesla is 20 years old and the oldest EV company in the world. Michelin tires are not tesla tires such a trivial gripe though. If that's the only complaint I gotta 🤣😂😆🤭
@@larryc1616 20 years is still new, especially compared to other car companies around. A lot of things Tesla does is still very new and for the first time. They don’t have the benefit of experience, trial and error.
Tesla- mislead is what we do BEST
Parker, you love to drive the canyons around California, and the Revuelto though faster, will not handle like the 675LT. If anything, sell the McClaren to get another track focused supercar. What that might be? 😎👍✌
Yes you should ABSOLUTELY get the Revuelto. Dual clutch V12!!
Trying something new is not always bad😊😊😊😊😊
I think everyone on the channel wants the hybrid v-12. Imagine the growth
Yeah bro
This was a VERY informative video, I really appreciate the details you included, especially the fact that they basically stole your money under the pretense you were going to get full self driving. It seems as thoug hTesla rushed the PLAID to the market, without doing thorough testing of things like short and long term wear of a tire on their car that shouldn't even be in use from the factory.
Doesn't really seem like Tesla is for the people, it seems as though they are only about the money, like every other corporation. Good Luck with the new series tire you should receive soon.
Moral of the story is, don't rush out to buy brand new models, just to say you have it. I get it, reviewers want them for content and wealthy people want the latest thing, but once that initial demand goes, they need to lure in more sales with price drops to the rest of the market.
Most things drop in price as they age .... nothing new here....
The Plaid was priced high when it was launched as there was a high demand for the car. Tesla, like any other autombile manufacturer, took advantage of that to make money. As more and more Plaids hit the market, the demand couldnt support the price any longer. If I recall you got your Plaid pretty early...and it wasnt long after that they dropped the prices due to decreased demand. Same thing occurred with the Dodge Viper, the Dodge Stealth and more recently the Nissan 300+ series.
I think you need another bull in the stable. The new Lamboghini is SICK and I think would be a welcomed change to your garage. Nothing against your McLaren, but you have been quite fortunate with yours. It would be awesome to see a new car in your garage again. Great content, Parker. Hope you are well. Need at garage update as havent seen one in a while.
Great video! When are you doing a garage update?
Regarding getting top speed on the Plaid: Its not about the wheel size my friend, it's about having proper braking for driving at those speeds, at that acceleration level. You need a big brake kit, hence the requirement for Tesla's carbon ceramic brake kit, which was publicly stated at launch and said to be available in the future, which they now are. So unless you want to crash that beautiful beast into a ball of flames, best to get the proper brakes as specced by Tesla, then they will unlock the speed no problem! I'd say focusing on the brakes vs your lowering links would be better for achieving top speeds.
Any good websites for buying tesla wheels from owners who are changing them?
VIRGINS FOR LIFE!!! 🎉
❤️
i hope not
jusr joking luckily im not
How many miles in were you for the first flat?
Longest beef with tires ever - we get it lol
The silver lining is that you haven't had to deal with worn tires down to the belt on the inside edge due to the insane -2.5 degree rear camber. My MXP is just about to hit belt at 12K miles because the rear camber is setup for a race track. -1.3 degrees is what we should have for regular street driving but they nearly doubled it for some reason. Fortunately the refresh suspension design bolts the control arms laterally into the rear cage rather than between extruded tabs so third party camber options are starting to pop up that don't require replacing the arms or bushings.
I completely corded the tires last year on the way to TX2K22. That’s where I first discovered the gnarly camber issue lol
@@VehicleVirgins Fortunately there are multiple 3rd party control arms and at least two shim options. Search for macsboost-tesla-s-x-camber-kit-2021-palladium. $199 just for the shims. parts3xpress makes a shim kit for $500 but that includes installation and alignment. The one thing neither kit addresses is whether it comes with new slightly longer bolts and if it doesn't if there's enough thread grab to handle the pull on the top by the wheel on the outside of the turn.
Please race my Model 3 Performance before you sell it! We met at the Petersen a few months back. It would be the first time a 600 LT and Model 3 Performance raced on CZcams 😎 We could either come up there to LA or you could come down here to San Diego
Damn idk if you should sell the McLaren... But a Avendador could be huge for the channel 🤔 I think you should do it 👍
Thanks Parker for pointing out the 21" tire issue. The 200 mph hardware requirement was always a bit odd and today still no 200 mph. Shame on Tesla. I guess on the other hand, dropping the Plaid price down to near $100k is insanity. It's a remarkable car and those that have driven one truly understand this. I suspect a third price drop may occur. I love it because the stealerships are marking up much lesser performing cars way above the Plaid making many cars unobtainable. Tesla is therefore providing an insanely brilliant car to the masses without them stealerships. For that I salute Tesla.
I agree about the tires. 1st week of owning my22 model S my 21in tires got a flat. I also agree 100% about re sale of the Tesla model S, I'm glad I didn't sale my Vette to help with my dn payment on my model S I would of been even more upset over the price drop would of been like giving my Vette away for free. also they should offer all season for east coast buyers I had to pay 3k for tires and rims for winter. My future tires will be the Falkens they seem to be a better choice for 21in rims then the Michelins Tesla offers.
Love the 675LT. The new would be killer but what’s that price going to look like is the question.
Shame to see, had mine on order for a while now and can’t wait
Parker, I think the Reveualto will be a perfect car for the channel in replacement to the mclaren
Love the thumbnail bud great job
Great video also my friend has a Maclaren too he bought it last year. I also wanted to get a Tesla but the like you said the tires will get flat
buddy its an electric vehicle what did you expect 😂
Overall, I’m happy w my Plaid & will be keeping it but triggered at the price drops- really sucks..
I would be upset about everything you said about the plaid except the price drop. Manufacturers need to sell cars, if people are buying cars for $10k-$100k over sticker, Tesla is smart to charge more and when the market comes down lower the price. Consider yourself lucky you weren't the one who paid $150k+ cause they are in worse shape than you. Tbh I think 3/4 of the population are under water on their car right now. Love your videos!
The difference with Tesla is the price reduction is at the manufacturer, most increases are at the dealership level, most cars sold over MSRP you choose to buy over priced and put the difference in cash to buy a car you want, because banks will not loan money on cars over MSRP. Tesla is reducing the base price of there vehicles which is not the norm from a manufacturer which makes buying your Tesla a bad buy !!
They need to work on the tire issue & should definitely offer a partial refund at least.
Work on the issue of a moron driver that drives over nails. Your mom should get a refund from your father for making you.
Love the 600LT!!! Dream car
Where's the ice cream truck, i came across your channel and can't seem to find any updates
Hell yeah finally back at it
The spec of the mclaren never gets old
I have a similar issue with my 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. It come standard with a 165/65/14. There are like 3 or 4 tires for it. They all suck. They all wear out fast. And they aren't cheap for the size. Most tires are close to $100 per tire for a car that cost $16,500. Fortunately, I could go up to a 185/60/14 and found better tires.
765LT replacement?
Same here. Just took delivery of new S last week. Emailed my rep yesterday about a credit, he said no. 🤷🏻♂️
Don’t forget that other brands changed their pricing too somewhat through the dealer mark up system. For a while you had to pay $10k over even on an X3. I know it’s not the same but ofc Tesla also had to adjust pricing during that crazy time we just went.
I much more think that the subscription you paid for is a rip off since you didn’t get to use the feature even. I got my Model X with FSD right when FSD was made available to everyone. The $10k I paid for FSD (ordered a while ago) stays with the car at least and should add value when I sell it again.
I had two flats on my back 21 inch tires which were on my y performance in 1 month !😮 crazy expensive p zeros (500/tire) lasting 20,000 miles. I finally switched to 19 inch Gemini wheels with all season continental tires. Also my 2021 cost me 61,990 without taxes and fees,now you can get it for 54,990 possibly a 7500 point of sale reduction.. Yes, I’ll be keeping it for a good while longer. Great discussion 😊
i've been a tesla investor since they released the model 3. and own a performance model 3. every gripe you mention is valid and it infuriates me how bad they treat their customers. at this point i'll probably end up selling the car before FSD is in a useable state.
Love the 600LT and hope you never sell it lol. As for the Tesla, I picked up a 1 year old Plaid with full FSD paid for in full, for about 60k less of what the original owner paid for it, and he wasn't happy as you can imagine. He was being offered 20k less on trade than what I paid him or what dealers sell it for. Sucks to take such a big hit, but this is why I never buy new cars usually (unless I'm flipping them like the C8 Corvette). I understand for your purpose and content things are different, but if it is a business asset, you might be able to use that depreciating to your advantage. I've owned two Tesla's now (had P100D) before, and basically customer service is not a priority to them. My P100D seemed to have settled in the 70k range for many years, so hopefully you (all plaid owners) will break even around that mark.
That level of mileage on that 600LT is unheard of. Personally, if it was me, I would keep it. A bulletproof McLaren is pretty much a unicorn 🦄. The Revuelto is pretty sweet, but it is just another special release that is just a slight EVOLUTION of the Aventador, and not a REVOLUTION of it. My two cents… Side note, a clip on condenser mic does wonders for audio, especially in a windy environment like the canyons in California.
Who would have thought a Plaid price drop to $89,990 would occur!
Fair price. Now I can think of trading my Tesla M3P for one.
Lol when you have to drive your million dollar hyper car because your Tesla is in the shop
Never had a flat on my model s w/ 21”arachnids.
Is that Chino Hills or San Luis Obispo? Hills look similar.
@Vehicle Virgins, same here. We got the Model X Plaid w/ FSD in 2022 and Tesla dropped the price by net $15K (car -$18K, FSD +$5K). But I'm still happy: we paid more than some other MX Plaids, but there's still NO other SUV at ANY price that can touch this, and this soccer mom car is faster than most hypercars in 0-60 and 1/4 mile.
I think you should keep the 600lt
They price dropped the ford fusion like that too. A loaded platinum would cost Aaron’s $50K. By the last model year, they were just over 30K
Parker hear me out.
With all positives you mentioned with the Tesla.
Sell when the Lucid Sapphire comes out and get that
Well better than two or three price increases in the same model year..lol…. Gotta love how Ford is doing the Bronco..😂😂😂
Love from India enjoying to see your vlogs🫶
Hey from the United States
i will never forgive you for selling that 458 aperta, i beat off to its first delivery video shooting blue flames at night .
To unlock top speed you’ll need the bigger brakes, and with big brakes come bigger wheels, that’s the conundrum
Uk 🇬🇧
Same with motorcycles in UK. Honda are a nightmare for dropping 30% on stuff.
My Tesla is 18 months old and I've had
2 x Pot hole blowouts
1 x Glass gash
1 x Pinched rim
20" Performance Wheels and that's £1000 in tyres already
That happy color 🎉 oh, jz...
Having never (and unlikely to ever) get the chance to drive either, I'd say stick with the 600LT. The Revuelto will be a great car, but won't be the best version of that car. Wait for a special edition of that and keep the LT in the meantime would be my advice. But lets face it, you know best what you want deep down.
Your 600lt is my favorite car you’ve ever had on your channel
Tesla price drops is a good thing. They planned these drops since day one. Their plan was to reduce costs as production numbers and overall vehicle costs got lower. Right now Tesla makes $9,000+ on each vehicle whereas companies like Ford EVs lose $22,000 on every EV sold. Lucid loses $500,000 on each vehicle. So when Tesla drops the price it opens up their range of potential buyers. They still hold their resale value especially with FSD.
I like the 600, it's a bargain nowadays but v12 will be awesome. Or a nice spec 765lt. 600 is only the little brother and that's why internet don't like it.
No no no, and i think you, Tyler, would agree with me. This new Revuelto is the beginning of a new era, ofcourse there is a 6.3 or 5 ltr V12, has 3 electric motors and 1015 bhp.
It will not age as well as your 765 LT, and is way less of a 'experience' then the McLaren.
I was shocked when you said, 'It has been..' while you talked about the 765.. so, was that just a way of words or did it mirror your choice to sell it.. 🤔
It is your decision, ofcourse, my advice would be to keep this great machine that is the McLaren 765 LT 🤝
Have a nice day and i am curious what you do. I would get another car for the channel though. Your pieces reviewing other peoples crazy cars is just amazing, really good segments! Props to how you do this, unique approach that works good in my opinion, very satisfying too watch
Would like to see a 'new' car on the channel though.
I would love a McLaren if we had a dealer in Hawaii.
I may be in the minority on this, but i think its kind of a bad take to be upset about the price dropping. Everyone that bought in to them that early should have known that they were an early adopter of the high performance EVs and the prices will continue to go down as tech and manufacturing is refined.
edit: the other stuff you mentioned though is inexcusable on tesla's part.
I bought a Tesla also and think it bull shit that they dropped the price like that.
I've never been more happy to comment. Like you I paid 139k with tax for my 21 model s plaid. Then 2 months in their changed they refreshed the headlights on the already refreshed car. Then they installed swivel screens then the whole 16gb issues to play steam. Then boom you can now get a plaid for 109k. Like I get it Tesla is a business and they have to look out for themselves. But we are the ones buying your product do you consider us. I'm so underwater in my loan is deeper than the Mariana trench
Get the revuelto ❤
mclaren is said to be more about how it drives, like suspension setup, steering feedback. I would prefer the mcalren or huracan. I think the advantage of the Aventador is a better engine sound, and acceleration
for the yt channel the Lambo may be a good choice
I bet you would feel better is you bought the car after the price drop.
Sometimes you win sometimes you loose.
I find it strange that someone is actually wanting higher prices....
The high interest rates actually makes the price drop not that significant.
Sour 🍇
❤4680 Roadster = GAME OVER BABY!
⚡️🔥🚀🇺🇲
You gotta get rid of that get a ZO6 get a lambo the new one get a 765lt or a 570s and mod it
Thanks for the information about the tires, that is really interesting.
I agree with you about the price changes. It's unclear what will happen but at least potentially the price changes create an Osborne effect where you don't want to buy a car because if you wait you might get the same car for less. The impact on people who bought is pretty hideous also. Obviously good for buyers of new cars who are in the market now. The price of having immense initiative and being willing to do things no one else has ever done or things that are not industry practice is that Elon sometimes may be giving himself permission to make catastrophic errors. It is unclear to me how this will play out. When they have to do these price cuts to stimulate demand it also communicates that at this point there is a glut of Teslas on the road, which is harmful to the aspirational appeal of the Tesla brand.
There are lots of aspects that are unclear. For example, the new car prices dropped but the used car prices did not immediately drop although it seems as though their underlying value must automatically have dropped. Over time will used car prices drop in some way that is proportional to the new car price drop? What will happen to the used car market generally? If more people are underwater will that contribute to more people voluntarily repoing their cars. It is unclear what will happen to Tesla buyers who may sour on Tesla because of what has happened. It is fairly clear that the price drops are horrific for the other car manufacturers. It is not even 100% clear what will happen to the stock price now that the price drops have happened so ruthlessly, indicating declining demand. Probably the stock price falls Monday, 4/10. It is fairly clear that these price drops will harm Tesla's brand and do violence to the idea that buying a Tesla is an investment in a car brand that maintains value better than most other brands. It's unclear what will happen to demand for the car in the long run. Given the car's value the demand has a baseline that is moderately high.
The price decreases have the negative effect of increasing the sense of uncertainty about Tesla for buyers and investors, although in the long term the price decreases do not inhibit Tesla's overall mission of accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy.
Hmm, I'd sell the 600LT and the Plaid, then go all in on a 992 GT3 RS! The Lambos are gonna need a year or two to get sorted unless you really like your local AAA tow truck guy...
McLaren 600LT is nice but it’s time for the Lamborghini Revuelto. It’s time to bring a new car to the channel along with a new banner to the channel & pfp. Start off fresh!
lol bro, if Tesla raised the price of the car after you bought it, you gonna go pay Tesla the difference? Such a dumb complaint from people about the price drops. Don't get me wrong, I get the annoyance, they dropped the price of the M3P right after I bought it too, but we're all adults, we make decisions to buy things or not based on our own finances and you move on. I don't feel like I got ripped off, I felt the car was worth what I paid, and now it's just an absolute steal. As for the tires, I bought tires with a little thicker side wall than Tesla recommends and haven't had any issues. Fully agree on FSD though, that's some BS and I skipped that add-on. And finally.... Yeah I'd sell the Mclaren to buy the Lambo. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
That’s why you get the 19s instead of 21s. Less flats, 50 more miles of range, and same performance 👍
Got one flat and the Michelins were nowhere to be found , 14k on pzeros 305’s in the back . Zero flats or punctures so far
Which McLaren is this ?
Three times lol. Tesla obviously doesn’t give a damn about value retention, this price fluctuation might come back to bite them in the ass. Who wants to buy a car not knowing if they’ll feel like a donkey a month later. Obviously I’m sour as well since I just got my X plaid last week, now it’s down another 5k, but I feel for those who took delivery at it’s peak price.
The Revuelto looks incredible, but honestly if you’re going for views on YT, the Revuelto is going to be like the C8….everybody is going to get one, so it might not get the views for more than a month after the release. However, I do think the McLaren is starting to show its age on your channel. You’ll know what’s best for you and the channel. Either way, you’ll make the right decision.
A new car will always give views a little bump but doesn't last forever. I like the 600 and it would be a real shame if you sold it. More track days with it would be good. Maybe collab with some other channels. Get back to reviewing more cars would be my suggestions in a short comment.
How about the fact they dumped the pricing on the Plaid????
?? Uhh thats in the video my guy
Tesla requires you to have 21’s because to unlock the 200mph you have to have the carbon ceramics installed which don’t fit on the 19” rims. They’re not just screwing people out of money and it’s not a software thing.
Keep the McLaren. It’s too beautiful 😍
Tesla prices are determined by demand. If more people bought em the prices would go back up.
First 200 sold at the secret show. 1-2 years for the new lambo
And model s’s dropped another 5k yesterday 😢
Not a thicker side wall…. A taller/wider side wall!
Thicker would imply how many ply they are and I doubt they are thick
Good video and fair talk about tesla
Cool video! I know you don't do videos at your house anymore. I'm pretty sure I've seen your house on the market? Are you moving? Maybe update us OG viewers. I miss the house videos and that spectacular driveway. If you move, will you stay in LA area?
Tesla might as well be a K Car. I’d rather see a driving review of a Dodge Aries.
