I first came across your videos years ago when you discussed your Porsche 911 and Boxster ownership experience but it’s been amazing seeing your life journeys along the way and the big change from busy city life to the isolated country life now. Thanks for sharing your experiences and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Good to see you again Ethan, it's been a while. Although I'm subscribed I no longer get advised of your uploads. ( hardly surprising as you haven't been uploading! ). Re your move to the countryside ( and a new country ) hope you're settling in okay and have got used to the isolation. BTW, how's your dog taking to country life?
Yes. Tesla cars are not attractive.They certainly don’t look their price tag. For me, recently Land Rover have been trend setters. The new Vogue has risen in price but it’s design shouts quality and prestige. Even for people who don’t like them, the quality of design is undeniable. Even if you prefer the smaller ones, the swept back grille of the new Velar and Evoque are beautiful.
Wait, Sweden that is where I live. Your first video I watched was of Ferrari ownership and now you live silently in Sweden. You might need a Volvo estate now
Thanks for the info Ethan. And thanks Elon. I’m moving to a village in Ethiopia. Could be very useful. I also wonder, don’t you get lonely over there ? Are you now truly ‘the only gay in the village’. (as i won’t be, village big enough but closeted ‘Uganda style’ so not much sassiness around. Except for the evangelic Hallelujah church condemning … well, Everything 🤨).
"Badly design" is very generic and not a very realistic point of view. Maybe in fit and finish, maintenance network, and some other ways, sure! Totally understandable for a company so new, hard to compare to other car companies making cars for 100 years. But for what it's supposed to do? Teslas are great in many ways, efficiency, range, charging network, safety, driver's assistance to name a few. Far from perfect, but so is every other company trying to make EVs atm, and many ICE and Hybrids too. Not to mention the business as a whole, Tesla is still the only EV that can turn out a profit, everyone else in the world is on the red trying to find ways to pivot and to be more efficient without going bankrupt. Even Ford, with great recent strategies like SUVs and Trucks "only" and some great EV launches, couldn't do it so far, and ICE is still paying the bills. Rivian and Lucid are doing great products, very cool and appealing, high demand, still far from perfect. Hopefully they don't go bankrupt before making it, because for now they are both literal money pits, doesn't matter demand if you are losing money on every car you make. BYD is catching up fast, but based on subsidies and I don't see they dominating global markets like Europe and NA because of the recent drama with the US.
Being out in the countryside is the best
Fabulous..You've got a lovely peaceful home with nice surroundings and Starlink. Peace and Quiet 👍🙏. Well done Ethan. 👏

Wishing you all the best, speedy recovery from your skiing accident. Good luck and be happy!👍
I'm looking to buy a cottage in Sweden too, maybe next year. I love Spain, but I long for the quiet (and cold) sometimes :)
Its great to see you're still alive after being injected with that poison. Best of luck
Hello Ethan. So happy you’re back!❤
Good to see you up & about again
What sort of latency do you have in the connection? I imagine it wouldn't be suitable for any sort of online gaming.
Hello Ethan, now man can live anywhere and have access to the world
Get yourself UV-charged or self-winding lights/torch so that when power goes off you'll not be in complete darkness
Power goes off? I have only seen one power cut in the last 25 years and that was because a truck crashed into the distribution box.
Also I would put an insert/outlet in your drain-pipes (corners of the house) and have large containers for where water could collect to
Good idea 😮
What for? and make the house look ugly.....
How bad the storm and floating was couple weeks ago? Did you have any issue with your property?

Yes I love the Volvo estate
Ukraine are using Starlink to operate their drones and receive satelite feed/updated maps of ally troops and the enemy locations etc
You got a deal. I just checked and for me it would be $120 per month for the cheaper version and $800 to buy the equipment.
It’s the same price for everyone I don’t think I remembered the exact figures when I made the video.

Your opinion that other companies are doing a better job than Tesla.
Lucid

CZcams videos are not impartial reviews or facts. It is my point of view and my right to express. I think they are ugly and plastic and that’s it.
Does Starlink cap your data usage?
Nope
Are you a freemason?
How is that anyone's business whether I am or not?
