Thank you!

You can use a firestick or Roku stick if your doesn’t have one of those streaming platforms built in. Locast is shutdown unfortunately but I have other videos that offer free local streaming without an antenna.

Oh I see. If you are buying it from a dealer they should be able to video you the whole car including the issues. The main concerns will be the battery health, MCU, and the axels. If those are fine you should be good to purchase. Do you have anyone local to that area that could check it out for you? If not you could also hire someone on like task rabbit or something like that to physically visit the car and pay them like $20 to $25 per hour to check out the car for a few hours to eliminate any concerns you have. Hope that helps.

Great videos. Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it. How do you check the battery health or get them to mention battery health ?

Absolutely! You can ask them to pull the service history from Tesla, or you can have Tesla Service Center pull it for you at the service center.

@@LASTROUNDEDwill a dealership be able to pull the service history for the Tesla they have? He said he’s unfamiliar unless sending it to Tesla itself.

Ok they may not be used to getting the information. But you should be able to do it yourself with the VIN and your local Tesla.

I believe if you do it right you will be fine. Whatever Tesla you do decide on just have the seller video most of the items in the outlined the video. Especially have the seller video the free supercharging to confirm it has it. Good luck.

Unfortunately all the ones you mentioned require an subscription. You can stream business programming for free on RokuTV, Pluto, and Sling but it won’t be what you are wanting. I know you can stream up 30 minutes per day of Bloomberg on your phone or tablet and the website for free.

It is definitely the way to go. But the only challenge is the battery replacement if that happens to you like it did me. Outside of that EVs are the way to go!

​@@LASTROUNDEDuh oh, I better keep watching the rest of your videos. I hear it can be really expensive.

Yeah it sure can.

I have some other videos for some local options besides Airy.

Yeah unfortunately it was shutdown but there some good alternatives on some of other videos that I posted.

Try using a free VPN to access it.

@@LASTROUNDED there is no VPN im samsung store

You can connect the VPN through the modem/router that the TV/app runs through. You can change your location from there.

Absolutely it is on my radar to make. I gotcha covered. Thank you for watching.

Absolutely I will it is on my radar to make one for the Model X. Thanks for watching!

Thanks brother!

Thank you my guy!

Thank you Chief! You too!

I agree with that. Good advice!

Thank you!

Locast is no more but the other option should.

Thank you!

Absolutely I will add it to the list of videos to make soon with responses. Thanks for feedback.

I will answer the dead battery question now. Not really especially with the repair price tag. I knew I wanted to find an updated model s with free supercharging and autopilot.

Both the S and the X are 2016.

Thank you! Awesome congrats on your new plaid. Yeah I received a few emails this year and last saying I could transfer the free supercharging over to a new Tesla.

Yeah unfortunately.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Naw I don’t think so.

Sure thing I will add it to the list of videos to make.

You should be able to just download from the Roku app. Just search for them in the search and download them.

My Model X and S are both 2016. I think my Model X had 54k miles on when I got it. I wouldn’t worry about the issues that it may have because some of items may have already been replaced by the current owner that you are buying it from.

You're welcome

You’re welcome. Unfortunately my battery died… I have to purchase two used Teslas.

@LASTROUNDED Sorry to hear that, how many miles were on it when the battery went? That's been my fear when looking at a used S. Seems there's no way to tell how long the battery will last. I've contemplated just buying one with a known bad battery (recently saw a 2012 S for 8k) then replace with a warranty. Or maybe I'll just stick with my ICE car.

Yeah it stinks for sure. The car had about 98k on it so not even 100k miles on it for it died. Yeah you can never tell. I still purchased two used ones because of the free supercharging. You can’t beat it. Don’t be afraid of the battery dying plus if you get it repaired you will have a warranty on the new battery which shouldn’t fail for a while. Check out my Dead Battery Video and my New Tesla videos on some of the details that may help you make your decision. Best of luck!

@LASTROUNDED I'll check them out thank you.

​@@LASTROUNDEDCan you tell me why not to be afraid of battery shelf life? Isn't a new battery cost more than the car on a 2013 model?

Ok

Thank you! Yeah I had to stick with Tesla they have been good to me over the years.

Awesome I am glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

Yes ma’am. I didn’t think I would like it but I do!

Super excited for you!!!

That is a good deal. I would just confirm that the free supercharging transfers I have seen some cases that it doesn’t transfer.

That is a good point. The Toyota EV will be interesting for sure.

We shall see.

That is a good point.

the problem is that tesla does not give you a new battery pack and you no longer get the 100m warranty that comes with the car

Lol

👍🏾

Well unfortunately in this case the battery is completely nonfunctional.

This is the common way of doing it, its most likely just a few cells that have gone bad and after exchanging these the battery pack is as new. Just to clarify this could happen on ANY EV, not just Teslas.

I like your style! The Porsche Taycan is nice for sure.

Sir, this is a Tesla model S. One does not purchase a Tesla model S to "save money". If he wanted to save money he would have purchased the model 3

We will see…

Good point I just personally don’t care to have a lease. I have a car fund for repairs and buying new vehicles. Just my preference but I know leasing isn’t a bad option for some people.

I sold the car for only $6,000.

@@LASTROUNDED Yeah I'm curious how the math/spreadsheet would work out in the end between the two approaches.

Honestly Tesla didn’t provide much details on why the battery failed. I mainly charged at home 98% of the time. I didn’t supercharge that much only when taking trips. It had about 98k before it died.

I thought the battery warranty was 8 years/100,000 miles or os that only on the newer models?

The battery warranty on the older models is 10 years or unlimited miles whichever comes first. The 10 years ended February 2023 if I remember correctly.
