I love Scotty's videos, although at times he exagerates, but that is part of the fun. And by the way, what he says that all the Tesla ever made have been recalled one way or another is not accurate. I have a late 2014 Tesla P85D, and I have never received a recall ever and so is my oldest daughter and her husband. So at least, there are 3 Tesla which have never been recalled. We received all our updates remotely and while we are sleeping, and then next day, we have a like new car with lots of new or improved features!!!!! And mine has more than 200k miles and has never broke, no gas expenses, no maintenance expenses. The only thing is that I have to get new set of tires every 40k miles or so, even in 80K mile tires!!!!!

He may be technically correct, but the terminology is as antiquated as Scotty.

FYI: Tesla operates parts and service as a non-profit generating part of the business. Past 4 years, I have been blown away by Tesla Service comes to my driveway or even airport parking lot to fix things (no need to be present).

When Tesla has recall, it is typically a bug fix in the software. It's like saying if Microsoft releases a security patch for Windows 10, that means a billion plus computers have been recalled. I think my Tesla Model 3 has been recalled like 3 times, and I didn't even notice.

One time an update bricked our Tesla. They kept trying to push the update, and we know that it wasn’t even anything that was necessary, but for whatever reason it wouldn’t update, so they set out a mobile tech to push the update, and the MCU broke! Annoying thing about that is that your AC, turn signals, radio, cruise control, everything uses that computer. You can still drive it, but you’ll have the windows down for air and to use hand signals, and a bluetooth speaker for tunes. Took a month for Tesla to even get a new MCU because it needed to be the old one. No free upgrades for us. So we were stuck in a Texas summer without AC, or any kind of luxuries that even my 28yo Ford came with standard.

@TheAleQc

Жыл бұрын

Not correct at all, a security patch is like changing the lock on your apartment after you move in so you know someone doesnt have a key. A recall is either volentary or mandated by the government because of a safety problem. Even if it is something software based it shows that they dont understand or respect the rules of the road and it not only could harm the drivers but it could harm 3rd parties that those regulations are there to protect.

Finally the video i’ve been waiting for!!

For a guy who decided to make an electric car with no previous history in the business, I’d say he’s doing pretty good. It’s going to take time for all the bugs to be worked out, probably years. It’s the growing pains of any company that pioneers in today’s industry. I say , good job 👍.

What makes Tesla so different than other manufacturers is that Tesla is a software/AI company that makes electric cars. Thats their passion from day one. The other companies started to make electric cars only after they saw their market share shrinking and the rug getting pulled from under their feet.

I rented a model 3 Tesla and the ride was harsher than my Mazda CX5. It cost less than half to recharge than to fill my tank. And the $1,000 upgraded "vegan leather" seat covers to owner paid for let my belt transfer color to it. Impossible to clean off and all the shops I went to said, "It's a luxury car, it should have leather seats. Then that color transfer wouldn't happen." Teslas are not luxury cars from what I experienced.

Model X suspensions were upgraded in 2020. Still not as good as Mercedes but pretty good.

One of my complaints about all electric cars, and this one is especially notorious for it, is the replacement of the batteries. They basically make them as disposable cars. I understand the "expense" of the batteries, just as a replacement engine for a Lexus, Mercedes, or Chevy will be expensive. But the labor is relatively minor, and it's certainly a feasible repair. What is/will be the cost to replace the batteries in a 15 year old Tesla? Who will pay a decent used car value on a 10 year old Tesla, knowing the batteries may weaken in 5 years? If I had been the designer or inventor, I would have tried to make the batteries replaceable in packs, easily done by the owner, or at least any generic mechanic. Sort of like how battery powered hand tools like lawn mowers and snow blowers are. The cars could use 25-50 individual battery packs (maybe under the seats, floor boards, or under the car covered by metal panels), and each pack could have a small display showing the health of the battery. They would be easy to remove and replace without the entire car being torn apart. I know it's just a wild dream, but I bet electric cars would be accepted by more people if it could be implemented.
