6:28 "Supercharger is too fast" 1st world problem 😂

3:05 "The 1st 1 or 2 yrs u keep phoning the Tesla service department" 😂 Dealerships contact u for safety recalls etc

Model C used to be my favorite Tesla and my dream car. And I remember the days when it would almost get as much attention as a Cybertruck, especially when an owner would open a falcon wing door , people would stop and gawk. I’m sure they probably still do these days. I used to call them the Model X’ secret weapons, cause you don’t realize they are on the car until they are opened. Big props to Bjorn Nyland and his 1000s of videos of his old Optimus Prime Model X.

The front boot is the “Froot”.

You have a great advantage down under: no own legacy car industry. The US and Europe has now to drive stupid hybrids for a while because of that. Enjoy your freedom here!

I like your approach to simply ask regular normal ones.

Currently own a 2015 Nissan Altima. My next car is a Tesla model Y, standard, RWD.

Just stumbled on your channel. Great video! Awesome to see another Aussie EV channel!

0:50 LOL it's not 2cm shorter it's 20cm shorter but only if you have the undermount spare kit for the Prado otherwise it's 36cm shorter than a regular Prado that has the spare mounted on the tailgate - that's a mile short in the car world

Great insight ❤ A video about retrofitting current ICE vehicles to EV?

Great video from an EV drivers perspective. I have an MG ZS EV and I love it.

Love Tesla, but we will never see an S and X on Australian roads again. Tesla no longer wish to make them right hand drive.

these are good for point A to point B road users ..... for Drivers , they are not feasible.....

I got an X last month. On the outside it is really quite an understatement - you have to get into it to really see what it is offering - tons of space and so much more.

I have the same,set up but I have just one powerwall and it still gets me through to 11am the next day. I have 4 adults in my house - mid-winter in the far eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

Great video Sarah. This is what I'm going through the process of doing but I'll be waiting a bit for he batteries

Awesome!

Lovely video. Steven is awsome. 😊 I learnt alot about the tesla I didn't know.

The newer model X is much better too!

Thank you both Steven and Sarah. It was a great watch.

It's great and Steven is great but what's the point in reviewing a Model X in Australia when you can no longer buy one new? Great car - but you can only get one second hand.

Amazing that it has the 3rd row of seats, really didn’t expect that.

What a great car. And it fits seven people. But where does the wine bottle go???

He's the best salesperson Telsa could ever hope for 😀

Did you see Tembo Australia have introduced a full bEV ute that is RHD? On their webpage there is an 3MA1L addr3ss at the bottom that utbers can contact them on (I guess to make review videos about the ute?)

For those looking for a 7 seater and don't want to shell out over $100k for an EV9, there are quite a few of these second hand. Prices mostly between $60k and $80k

Nice place to review it at Sydney Olympic Park. Saw Steven at the Everything Electric show in Sydney, thanks for showing people your car.

❤

Wow!! And 5 years old! I want one☺️

Sad that they don’t sell model x here anymore, so cool!!

And as a member of AEVA (Australian Electric Vehicle Associaton) Steven is tireless in helping drivers embrace EV's - thank you Sarah, thank you Steven.

People usually omit fuel cycle emmisions on ICE cars. A liter of petrol requires at least 700g CO2 to produce and get to your tank (diesel a little less). Australia's most popular Hybrid, the RAV4 Hybrid, actually emits closer to 150g CO2 per km when you add this to tailpipe emissions. This is almost never mentioned. Hybrids are no longer a pathway to emission targets. So keep up the EV interviews 😊

Need more videos like this to remove all the anxieties people have when thinking of EVs. Unfortunately my friends are grumpy old men stuck in their ways ridiculing me for getting an EV. My EV is now the only car, other than my 04 WRX, that I truly enjoy driving. I was not expecting that to happen to me, almost a profound revelation😂

I don’t want to be a hater but I’m having a real hard time believing he only lost 18 miles of range in 5 years.

I agree, why would anyone buy a hybrid? You are purchasing all the moving parts, maintenance and replacement of an ICE. Great video! Thanks to you both for the tour!

Steven is indeed a legend. Thanks to him, I'm now the owner of an EV (an MG4 Essence), and would never go back to driving a legacy vehicle.

My dream Tesla is still a Model X.

Steven is a legend, Model X is relative rare and keep on running.

A very enjoyable video, thanks to you both. If you take a ride with another Tesla owner, please ask about the subscriptions to use various functions, I heard rumours about, please. I'd like to know if that is true. Ta.

Great content !

Well done! It is so good to hear from actual EV owners. It cuts through all the bs on main stream media

Philip is savage

You also take out the entire transmission.

Park the rear wiper in the up/down position. Design a fairing for it.

Had an I5 on order but the delivery date kept moving out and the price kept going up so I baled out when they estimated > 3 years delivery time. Would still be waiting til next April if I had stayed.

I owned a 2020 Kona EV and traded that in for a 2020 top of the line Ioniq 5 EV. The vehicle was fine, the Hyundai Canada software updates were few and far between. One of the fastest charging EVs ... if you can find a compatible station that is actually working. I traded this in for a 2024 Tucson HEV and never looked back. No more trip planning and no more being treated like a 2nd class citizen at a charging station (no weather coverage, no windshield cleaning fluid, no windshield cleaner, no garbage cans nearby, and the list goes on. Pros were the instant heat and the power of the vehicle was fantastic ... but I don't miss either. Edit: For North America, my recommendations are: 1. wait until there is native NACS charging ports/cables. 2.Wait for the charging infrastructure to expand BIG TIME. Wait for the charging infrastructure to be reliable. 3.Wait for the Level 2 charging ports to be available at your apartment, your house, your condominium, your work, etc. Until then, at best, lease an EV, do not buy one. Important to know if the manufacturer can repair their own batteries (Hyundai cannot) and insurance companies write off the vehicle raising everyone's rates - not good. One of the reasons I bought the Ioniq 5 EV was due to the modular design of the battery (thinking it could be repaired).

70,000+ km, never ICE again. This from a cold climate.

Very cute. Nice work peeps. FYI it is definitely a truck and not a ute.

yeah i think there has been a ban on importing these to aus, so so much for that (they cant have read this guy's wife's research). The styling is horrible but now i know its 15 years old that is somewhat explained with the smart for fourish looks

Can’t wait for more options to come to Australia!
