Hello Everybody! We're back with another season of Alternative Living Spaces! Thank you for waiting so patiently! The Sailing videos are returning very soon as well! Turn on your notifications so you don't miss one! What do you think of Nico's Setup?
I'm really glad you guys are back, you make really entertaining videos. :)
Quick question: did you change the title of the vid since yesterday? Feel like I'm going crazy... Lol
Really nice to have you back
Super excited to have you back! Your videos are amazing.
I do the same thing and live in la and do the same job. I’m on vacation currently for holidays what’s his pg. ty all come to my pg and subscribe under construction 🚧
I love the model x, but to live in this full time does not look like fun
You don't live in a car. You sleep in it.
He doesn't look real to me.
I love my rv but to live in it does not seem fun.
yea what a tool. think about it the car is maybe 120k. You could get a house for that price that might even appreciate in value. I love the tesla cars but in 5 years its going to be worth 30% if not less of that price. What a waste. Unless he is a trustfund kid he has made a massive mistake.
@@Kaodusanya a house for 120k? This guy is in California. Plz tell me where I can find a closet dump for 120k
This man is flexing on us yet he is homeless
Houseless not homeless.
There is a difference between being voluntarily homeless versus being involuntarily homeless, I've been both.
He's not flexing, he worked for tesla, had contacts there and now has a tesla. oh no

How do u set up your car as a sorta ‘house’ if u drive lyft picking up passengers?
Can't afford high rent prices, lives in $100k+ car. Hipster logic
2500 to 4500 in rent a month and you own nothing or 1800 a month to own an X in 5 years. It isn't crazy...

@@adamholmes740 Degradation is negligible after 5 years. electrek.co/2018/04/14/tesla-battery-degradation-data/
Rents are 2500-6000 dollars US a month. The X is WAY cheaper, and unlike an apartment, you can sell it and get most your money back. And his motive and living power is free. All he has to pay for is a health club for showering and such.
@@adamholmes740 show me a Tesla with depleted batteries.
I was his Lyft customer last year. He is a super nice, hard working guy (he wasn’t using autopilot for my trip) He got a great deal on the car as a Tesla employee and paid less than someone who converts a Mercedes Sprinter. This is someone who is thinking way outside of the box!

He should get a small travel trailer to live comfortably. Since model x can tow 5000lbs.
Fantastic idea. Only problem I see is storing it when he can't tow it. Especially since he works for Lyft as well.
Depending on his income he could rent a storage unit or something to put it during the day. Dunno
Bryan Kraemer
He can store it at a uhaul lot when he isn’t working.
jong lee He probably doesn't have the money for the camper after the Tesla payments.. 😁
Where does he park the travel trailer in your driveway ?
But what if the car breaks down or needs repair?
There goes not only your job but your house for a while
Tesla will give him a free loaner Model X if his one needs to be in the shop for a while.
First thing I thought, but I bet he can afford a hotel with all the money he is saving
Zelek Uther nah they always give a lowner Model S
NotChingy umm hotel will just suck up all his savings. And am sure he wasn’t living in a Tesla so as to save just to spend it in an hotel🤦♂️. He could stay with a family or friend and I think Tesla would give him a loaner car till is own is repaired
I’m pretty sure he could just move into an apartment then....
This is the most L.A. thing I’ve ever seen.

This poor guy. I’m sure he knows his idea of living in a Tesla is not what he made it out to be.
I can only imagine how dirty the car was before he cleaned it up for this video.
Can you imagine his Lyft reviews. “Everything was great until the driver’s pee bottle fell out from under the seat”.
i also can't imagine the monthly payments being much cheaper than rent at a decent apartment complex.
@@Kaodusanya The guy lives in the bay area. The average rent for even a studio is around $2000-$2400/mo. On top of that, he'll still need a car. So yes, it'll be cheaper.
@@hyeung1 Then he should move. I rather live somewhere more reasonable than in a fucking car.

@@hyeung1 then.. don't live in a studio apartment?
Tesla should release a van.
Elon discussed potentially collaborating with Daimler to build an EV sprinter van.
Tesla should release a van *and desperately hire management consulting and quality auditing immediately*, given what I see in the video.
Sean Bunton , you are right, Tesla should act fast (hopefully affordable price) because Mercedes electric sprinter is under test.
Mercedes electric van is shit, they wanted to buy gliders, meaning the car without any battery and powertrain and install their own just so they don't have to build another factory.
Well, The Mercedes e sprinter production hasn't started yet. But, people who love to have an all-electric van, will look at their own budget first. I love Tesla but don't have the money for it. I love apple laptop but I have money for PC.

And yet he seems happy.
@@jcbuckster not the point stfu jcbuckster
@@notablackperson2126 if that isn't the point, I don't know what it is.
Laugh all you want but I drove uber 10+ hours a day for 6-7 days a week and pretty much made 5000 dollars that month. That's a pretty decent wage. If I did that for a year that's 60,000 dollars. Now imagine if I halved time I drove. I'd still make 30,000 minimum. That's equal to what most people out of college make at entry level jobs.
This kinda seems more like “I went to college and quit my job but then bought a 100,000 car and now I’m living in it and am a Lyft driver to pay it off”
It is what that is
Ha-Ha! "..any dates that I go on...". I can picture that conversation. Hey baby, let's go back to my place, oh wait! we're already there!
Funny you should mention that, I had a chick want to go back and smash, and asked me where do I live I told her my place was filthy! So next time opportunity came just smashed in her car called it a day and bounced lol. Gotta get creative when your living tiny and mobile bro!

@@eli6797 it's not, it's a common problem on teslas, partly because of the way the rear doors open and partly a quality control issue that tesla has.
When did living in your freakin’ sedan become ‘living in a small space?’
“I keep my car from smelling bad as best I can.” Let me give you a view of my center console... it’s a snack center with peanut butter jars and hand sanitizer. And I drive with Lyft. And I date in my car. And I have a pee bottle. And I lock the door with tinfoil. And a chess board in my trunk.
This used to be straight up homeless. And I’m not tripping about making someone conform to my worldview. People can do whatever they want in my mind as long as they aren’t harming folks. But man. I mean, I’m not judging. If this is what you want, more power to you. But goodness. Just goodness.
I dont think living nomadically in a 100k car "used to be considered homeless"
Maybe, just maybe, we all have a different definition of home. Might not be a "house", but he does have his own bed to sleep in every night.

Basically
He owns a Tesla. Show me what you own in a rented apartment.
@@davis.fourohfour What he owns is irrelevant because the video and comment are both about the guy living in the Tesla. And his point still stands. Nice red herring though.
@@davis.fourohfour it's a depreciating asset
@@davis.fourohfour Have you heard of people who are 'house broke'? These are people who have to put almost all of their money in their monthly mortgage because they bought a house that's too expensive and now can't afford living a normal / happy life. That's basically this scenario, but instead he's living in a fucking car that depreciates in value over time.
This is being positioned as "cool" and "trendy" but really this is a story about how ridiculous it is to afford rent/housing in this country
Especially in the bay area.

You know, you could not use the aluminum foil and lock the car from the screen. I'm pretty sure you can do that.
Not having a house is one way to deal with package thieves.
but what happens when you inevitably need to send the car in for repair. I mean it;s a tesla it will be gone for months. FYI the semi truck is a much better deal if your planning to live in it.
Tesloop operates a rideshare using Tesla's from LA to NV, they are reporting ZERO maintenance in their cars over 200,000 miles.
From what I've seen and heard, Tesla comes to YOU wherever and preforms maintenance and repairs on location. Pretty cool tbh.

As self-driving and electric vehicle tech improves, I predict we're going to see a large number of people opting to live in self-driving motorhomes. Things will change once self-driving is advanced enough that there is no need for anyone in the driver's seat. Being able to program your vehicle to take you to work before you even wake up, getting some housework done while you're stuck in traffic, having a lazy day at home while you're transported across the country; these conveniences would be utterly revolutionary and life-changing. This is a very basic example of a brand new type of lifestyle.
MarkBTW here goes explanation for my earlier comment.
Well, I bet the optimization would result in lower wages as it became mainstream. We have already optimized a lot. Warehouse workers are working harder, having their steps counted and calculated. Salary is the same. Work is harder. The change needs to be on another level in order for it not to be swallowed by greed.
@Elon Blunt there bathrooms everywhere. Ask any van lifer. They'll all tell you the same thing. It's not hard to find a place to do your business.
Beautiful i like ur thinking 🤔
The cost of the car is about 10 years of rent
liam in some places, rent per month can be from 2000-6000 a month. Unless you’re leasing from some hillbilly who’s renting out his crack hours in the middle of rural Colorado, you’re not gonna find 10 years of rent for 82,00.
Mr. krabs the sex addict i like how u began ur sentence by saying in some places. Uh, i live in West Michigan where u can get decent housing for 600. And the car is 100000 not 82000.
@@eli6797 According to Edmunds the "True Cost" of owning and operating a Tesla X for 5 years is 195K, that is total costs including the purchase price and depreciation.. If you can't afford rent in an area than get room mates. Or better yet get a job. This is a man-child that went to college (student loan or did daddy pay?), had a job and bought a 100K luxury vehicle. He then quit his job and is living in said vehicle with a1800 car payment. All the while trashing the same luxury car. He is wasting the most critical years concerning career development. The longer he lives like a hobo the harder it will be to get a decent job. Believe it or not employers don't really respect someone who spent 10 years living in a overpriced car. Oddly enough they care about work ethic and experience. Nothing to admire about this guy and he is not making anything close to sound financial decisions.
I would love to live on the French Riviera, overlooking the Mediterranean coast. But I can't afford it. Either work hard to achieve it or move where you can afford to live. High rent is no excuse when someone quit his job.

$84,000 Vehicle.... $83k when He purchased it with supercharger for life. Add an extra $5,000 for Auto Pilot. He will receive $7,500 dollars back from his taxes for purchases a fully electric vehicle.
He Lyfts and never pays for Gas like normal drivers which means he keeps more of his initial income. He could get a gym membership and shower there.
No Gas bill, free electricity, HEPA Air Filtration system(He can breathe Hospital Grade air). Safest SUV in the World( He would be fine if a drunk driver hit his car while he was asleep). It's essentially a tank.
The car has around 150 moving parts compared to our regular cars which have around 10,000.
He has no oil changes....nearly no maintenance on his home/vehicle, compared to other non-electric whatever's.
If anyone here drives to work they are spending on average $1000 to $6000 on gas alone in a year....Not this guy....$0.

9-5 is so deceiving. more like a 7-7 because you got to leave at 7 am to sit in traffic and make it to work 30 minutes early then sit in traffic to get home.

This is awesome, I was wondering who would be the first to document someone who converted a model X, ever since I started seeing them on the streets I thought it would be interesting, of course the price tag of one says otherwise, but it takes people to push the boundary like this for it to become more desirable, and then in turn companies will see the demand for products related to it, which means eventually we will all be able to have electric camper vans and RVs!! Nice work on the video Dylan, you are to make the viewer feel like they are there with Nico, which is a great feeling.
um just no.

So he can't afford $2400 rent but has no problem spending $100k+ just to say how awesome he is for living in a car.
Oath Garde he’s eliminated rent AND the thousands traditional car owners spend annually on gas
@@infam0usP Annual fuel costs for a used 2015 Honda EX 4Dr Hatchback is 2000 per year. Average fuel costs for a Tesla X is about 750 per year (yes electricity is fuel) So fuel costs for the Honda is about 1250 per year more than the Tesla. Or 6250 bucks in 5 years.
Purchased price for the Tesla is $100,180 dollars. Purchased price for the used 2015 Honda is $16,434. Assuming a 20% down payment on the Tesla, The purchase price of the Honda is almost $4000 less. That is about 64% of the fuel difference right there. Throw in 1.5 of his 1800 car payment the fuel savings is gone.
The total 5 year true cost for a Tesla X is $95,020.. The "True Cost Total" takes into account all financial aspects of ownership. depreciation, financing, insurance, repairs, taxes & fees and maintenance. That includes the $7500 tax credit. Depending on when he bought the Tesla that number would be added to the 95K. Add the purchase price to the vehicle and the 5 year cost is $195,201. Thats a lot of jack.
www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-x/2018/cost-to-own/
Back to the used 2015 Honda EX. The True Cost to Own over 5 years is $36,369. Since we paid cash (the Tesla down payment) you could subtract
about $2500 in financing charges.. That lowers the 5 year cost to $33,869. Add the purchase price to that and you get $50,303 total costs.

That's a difference in total cost between the two cars of $144,898.
Buying a Tesla for financial reasons is NOT sound advice. Of course neither is quitting your job.
Rick & Zack Explore Offroad when did I advise this to anybody? oh that’s right, I didn’t. stop worrying about the next man’s money
@@infam0usP Just pointing out your statement about saving money on a trendy luxury car is wrong. Fuel cost is the smallest part of car ownership. I do not care how he spends his money. I just think that he is an irresponsible little man-child. Hopefully others will see how stupid he is.
Rick & Zack Explore Offroad cool story bro
Beautiful car, but it looks like a pig pen inside. Very dirty and using a candle to cover up bad odors is not the best way. Just clean it up and it will automatically smell better.
well, he is Living and Eating and pooping in the car , so there is that.
Mark Plott 😂😂😂
I bet hes been sick and shut in a hat before
honestly he's living my ideal life. if youve never taken a road trip in an electric car, you dont know how great it feels to save money, to plan your routes, to sleep wherever you like! like i feel so safe sleeping at electric chargers - some are shitty areas, but some are in walmarts or hospitals or nice office plazas.

"Peanut Butter."
This man has his priorities straight and here I am...
excited for the new season Dylan!
Glad I was able to kick it off!!
Winter? You really love winter?
Tbh didn’t really know if he was being sarcastic or serious from time to time
if tesla release a van, this dude gonna be the first one who buy it
8:54 “ i don’t have to pay for gas “ well yeah you’re in a tesla
So basically you can live inside any car if you plan, keep it clean, and have a source to shower...
yes, it's really not that difficult to do so, but also not that comfortable. Pretty freeing I imagine.
I highly, HIGLY doubt he lives in that SUV full time
B. E.
It’s a spoof, dear.
@@dndnenejeeehehehe4754 - what the fuck are you talking about "dear".
Where is the toilet paper and the lube
under the peanut butter
I cannot believe there are so many people bashing the guy for living (sleeping) in his Tesla. What's so wrong about living in your car? You save a lot of money doing so and become very resourceful and a minimalist.
The people bashing this alternative lifestyle are chain bound to societies views of how life should be lived given their standards of how it should be done.
I too was living out of my little Kia forte for a month and it was so liberating and gave me a new perspective. I no longer live in my car as I moved to a bigger city and my friend offered me his spare bedroom rent free, but I even miss sometimes living out of my car.
cool, so he's homeless.
I take it your new here
You're not homeless if you live fancy homeless
yeah sure
Well he does have a "home". Maybe better term would be houseless.
His home is his car lol
I’ve camped a weekend in my X, that was long enough for me 😂 but it’s awesome people doing things for themselves and really not feeling like they have to be part of ‘societal norms’
“You May be… wondering why I have a taser right here… haha” looks at camera man aggressively “it’s cause I’m absolutely psychotic”

Can You just honk through the app if someone approaches?
Hey I’m new to ur channel and I love it!! It’s really inspiring! It reminded me of the time considered living in a bus. I have suspended that plan for some 3 or 4 years now. I think I might get back to that! Thanks, you just got a new sub!!
