That dude is exactly who you expect to pop out one of these plaids. glasses and all
Right total d bag!

...and as soon as he said "don't care about road feel or exhaust sounds" - I was done with this video!
Except the LFB part. Tesla soy boys don't say Let's Go Brandon
DB called a Taycan ugly.
You definetely can make an argument for this car but man....this guy is the living caricature of a "Tesla Guy" and every negative connotation attached to that word.
I was thinking the same thing...lol
Most Tesla guys are liberal lmao. This guy is almost as conservative as they come.
@@jasper5097 politics are not the entire world...
@@craigpeel5983 the Tesla bro made it about politics
LMFAO🤣🤣🤣🤣
I may be in the minority, but I'd take the Taycan over the Model S any day. Of course, easy for me to say when I can't afford either.
I’d take the Taycan too.
the Taycan looks great in the design department and the interior makes the Tesla look like 90s Ford.
Electric cars are not a long term solution by any means. Lithium mines are far worse for the environment, plus it’s documented that the ozone is closing up and healing.
So for my job i occasionally get to drive my bosses cars. He has a tycan and a model s and the tycan is so much nicer and In normal driving the Porsche is so much better. Can't afford one either 😂
@Kiri Tiatia Otaraua O'C-TX5 ever seen a lithium mine?
Interesting how Video Bob seems like a very cool, genuine dude, even with his whole look, while the Tesla bro is Das ÜberDöuche.

Awe thanks! I'm sure the other guy was just exited to meet a star like Hoovie!
@@RobertMoseley You seem like such a cool dude! I remember seeing your video on the cheap Phantom and thinking that you and Hoovie should make a video. And now we're here!

Yeah, the guy who butchers classic, irreplaceable Deloreans for profit is a car hero, and the photographer who happened to sell a car to Tyler Hoover is a jerk because he doesn't dress and act like you want him to
@@jasonc.776 Less than 1% of all the Deloreans produced have been modified.
Does this mean that every car customizer, like George Barris, Chip Foose, etc., are "butchers" because they customize cars?
Without us, there wouldn't be anything but stock cars in movies and TV shows.
Car shows would be pretty boring.
Are you telling me that every car you own or have ever owned was bone stock without a single modification? Really?
How boring.
I mean I wouldn't expect the guy to want anything else other than a Tesla with the shape of those shades
Along with a list of other things.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking of that however horribly presumptuous it is but...the shades fit the car. Definitely.

@@Petrospect Yeah this dude sucks lol He even did the LGB bullshit too
They look massive on asians tho
As a daily driver I can see why an EV can be attractive. But not as a toy to have in the garage for weekend fun drives and to enjoy as a driving experience. I want more than just being caught up in pointless 0-60 wars.
True. There’s nothing in the car. You just hop in, go: “wow, I can silently travel from 0-60 quickly, and….. that’s it.”
Then you question your purchase and realize the Mazda Miata is the real answer to happiness, and would’ve been cheaper too.
@@theploksoundtrackslaps860 There's an old saying, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
Yes the model s plaid is already becoming too boring, every videos on internet is just 0-60 like wtf is going on!!!
Yup. Nothing beats vroom vroom noises and a manual transmission.
We'll have you tried? The model 3 performance for example has superb handling, it's brilliant to drive.
Glad to hear they're stepping up the interior quality, but comparing it to Mercedes seems too soon
Maybe when they start to produce it over in berlin we'll have a talk about it but for now the quality out of the freemont factory ain't very good. i might be one of the few tesla fans who admits it 🤣

As an auto technician, I’ve gone on test drives with customers that have seriously scared the hell out of me. The acceleration of these cars is highly dangerous in my opinion. There’s too many people who will not respect that amount of power and bad things will happen. People just don’t need to accelerate that fast in everyday driving
Thanks grandpa
Yeah I can imagine some of these inexperienced drivers getting in and crashing them not realizing how fast they are.
That acceleration is not good for ones health
I do think there should be an additional license required to own high HP performance cars.

The problem with buying the cheapest Tesla anything is that a broken battery pack sets you back a minimum $10k

🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
The glasses are spot on😂
Eh the LGB comment told me he’s inverse PC principal
Came here to say this!
Judging from the stories I see on line the cost of repairs on a Tesla are beyond outrageous. A damaged driver side door for $10,000? Replace the bumper, $5,000. Then you have to wait a month for the repairs. Ridiculous.
Yeah rich people are destroying everything
Insurance?
You never need to do maintenance, and I can drive 1400 miles for $150. Do better than that.
@@crinixx have a fender bender and let me know how it goes. Tesla is garbage.
@@crinixx Until the battery dies, which it did on my P90D...$15,000 repair at the time. Sold it for parts cause that made no sense to me.
When the batteries truly last 10 years, and range is 350 miles in all weather and conditions, and the battery can be recharged in 10 minutes or less at any gas station, EVs will reign supreme. Until then? Its basically a high/high-ish end sports car with less range.
Thank you for sharing your time with Video Bob. He's a great guy and creates interesting content. I hope you continue to collaborate with him. Both of you guys are such good people.
Thanks!
Even the spam bot here loves him! ;)
I am really not emotional for or against Tesla. They have their advantages.
But that guy is hilarious and beyond silly. Yoke as F1 for the road, Porsche is uglier... but if someone with those sunglasses tell you, he doesn't care about roadfeel. I guess, everything is said.
I like a "yoke". In a pure race car, driven on a track. On a street car, its really stupid without a super-variable ratio, as evidenced by people still having to turn it multiple times.

As Jay Leno said...we need more people driving electric cars as boring daily's so there's more oil left to make fuel for enthusiast cars.
Not for much longer. The russkis will see to that.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 nah
That just means that fuel prices will skyrocket to the point where only the rich can afford fuel. Without mass demand, it'll be much less viable for oil companies to produce oil.
Don't underestimate the effects of economy of scale, or rather, when that scale dramatically shrinks.
People don't get this. Why not get point A to B people...to drive evs and those that drive for recreation can have all the oil :)

Just seeing how fast the dodge pickup becomes a speck at 5:08 is terrifying
First dude is classic example of someone trying too hard but still not getting it. Second dude is classic example of someone not trying at all but oozing with getting it.
Had this discussion with my friend; 2sec. 0-60 is actually too fast for the average person. It's uncomfortable, and dangerous for some people that cannot react fast enough in real world situations.
So you and your friend have done extensive studies on this I'm sure. Cultural anthropologist Genevieve Bell explained to the Wall Street Journal TECH site that extreme, fearful reactions to new technology are age old, and have even picked up speed alongside our rate of innovation. Critics of early steam-spewing locomotives, for example, thought “that women’s bodies were not designed to go at 50 miles an hour,” and worried that “[female passengers’] uteruses would fly out of [their] bodies as they were accelerated to that speed”-which, for the record, they did and will not.* Others suspected that any human body might simply melt at high speeds.
@@xsleep1 only a yank could come up with answering valid concerns about extreme speed and acceleration with this pretentious crap
This is not a car for the average person at 150k.
Yeah I would rather drive a “slow” car and ring the absolute shit out of it. On the road that is more fun.
The issue is it gains speed so damn fast it smokes the brakes after any hint of repeated stopping. Where other vehicles would hit 120 in 8 seconds and weigh 2800lbs this does it 5 seconds and weighs 5000lbs with brakes from a 08 camaro.
That guy called the Porsche uglier than that Ikea store model s? Yoke does not equal "f1 for the road" lol
Excuse me, didn't you see his glasses? They invalidate any opinion you have. He's an F1 driver.
@@MrManBuzz His stupid glasses were as practical as that yoke steering wheel.
Well.. the Porsche is ugly as fuck. And the naming is just an atrocity

I think the Taycan is the best looking electric car by far
Since when did 0-60 times become the defining characteristic of an enthusiast car? The Plaid is kind of a one-trick pony, and that trick makes you nauseous. As much as I see the importance of EVs in the future, I can’t subscribe to the argument that a Plaid suddenly makes all other enthusiast cars no longer matter (and I don’t think Tyler or most enthusiasts do either).
They guy is an idiot. What about handling, looks, those high notes a car makes and so much others lol
This is EXACTLY it. Unfortunately the mindless masses are that stupid. They latch right the fuck on to something like that and ignore all other short comings. They ALL have completely failed to realize that we never see these doing roll race events, 1/2 mile, or standing mile events...against anything respectable. They also fail to read time slips and see that the Tesla is getting it's ass handed to it, HARD, on the big end of the track. They also fail to realize I can take my daily beater 2002 Camry and rape the damn thing at a race track...just do a 25 lap run. Game over. The cannonball record for EV's is DAYS slow lmao. Put the Tesla against anything respectable on the race track, it'll get it's ass handed to it lap after lap. It'll overheat and said other car will continue to shred it's tires off the remainder of the day.
Literally a one trick pony. Unfortunately the mindless public are a single track mind.
Exactly! I feel like electric cars are missing that connection you get with a ICE car.
Because of traffic lights and stop signs make it so.
A 'fast car' is a car that's fast in any regard. Acceleration, top speed, handling, track times, etc. Acceleration is the easiest one of those four to do, just add a huge amount of power and the grip to get that power going. But the Plaid will never be 'the fastest car in the world' like most Tesla and Musk stans claim it to be, because it's only got 1 of those 4 characteristics. It's so overhyped it's not even funny anymore. They as always prefer crazy numbers and dumb gizmos over build quality and longevity. Teslas are at the bottom of my list for desirable EVs.
So good to see video bob again still doing his bit
I completely agree with him about the 80s 👍👍
I don't know if "The fastest bumper car ever" will capture many hearts if the driving experience is as sterile as distilled water. The people in search of a transportation appliance will love them, especially when they are self driving, since they'd rather be looking at their phone than actually driving anyway.
Have you driven one? I'm a car nut, but also worked for Tesla. I got to drive one of if not the first P100D ludicrious cars in San Diego, it's not a Plaid, but 2nd quickest car Tesla has made. They're great cars, they have their place. Although I do feel there is a performance cieling we are going to hit on these cars.
All EVs drive terribly numb. Yes, I've driven most, including the Model S P100D with ludicrous.
I'm in it for the 9.25@150.
@@boilerhousegarage The P100D was goo in a straight line and decent in curves, it was never a track car. Drive a newer Plaid or even a Performance Model 3 in track mode on some actual twisties. It will put a smile on your face.

Years ago I expected a Tesla model S to replace my Mercedes S class, but the quality is just no comparison. Years after, owners still complain about Tesla QC. Hope one day Tesla could build something like the quality of an EQS.
Too bad the eqs looks like an old Honda civic. At least the electric BMWs still look like BMW.

Ever since getting a 2022 Subaru BRZ in December, I’ve learned that 0-60 is literally meaningless and it’s the fun of going through the gears that put the smile on my face.
One of my good friends has a Tesla Model Y and as fun as it is given it’s 0-60 and self driving I could never make the switch. Gas prices can go through the roof but I will spend my last penny getting fuel just to rev to 7,000 rpm.

The taycan is that expensive because it has all wheel steering, carbon ceramic brakes and much bigger standard brakes than any tesla, better build quality….. Porsche just need to use more aluminum to reduce the weight of that car.
Also, the Taycan corners and brakes better. But anyway, the Panamera on the track is still faster

Hi from the UK, we have a TH-cam channel over here called "Harry's Garage" I think he summed up electronic cars really well. He basically said, in every way they're better however they only offer a 2d experience. You don't get the sounds and smells, your not engaged with changing gear, and for that reason he feels they'll always be a place for classic cars, and I tend to agree with him. Also it always makes me smile when Americans moan about fuel prices... we're currently paying over $8 a gallon here (🇬🇧) for gas and more for diesel 😔 Thanks for all the great content Hoovie👍
The thing is, we aren’t used to paying as much as we are. It makes everything more expensive because of the cost to transport goods. If it ever gets to $8 a gallon, we’ll use it to burn down the White House.
Harry has a good channel (many viewers across the pond, as well!) if a little boring for the younger viewers, perhaps. I like his takes on things. I think Jay Leno said it best when he said the electric car might do for the internal combustion car what internal combustion engines did for the horse: it freed them up for recreation only. I think he's right: the electric car can be basically everyone's daily or beater, and for those with the wherewithal to have an older classic car, you can now enjoy it as a pleasure vehicle.
Ya..I am subscribed to Harry. He's great. He basically breaks down the downfalls of electric especially for classic cars. But in his last video he said that using sustainable fuels is way better than electric. To me, the whole electric thing is a political scam. Where the hell do they think we get electricity from!?? Even Harry pointed that out.
@@spacefren3826 at least it won't be us burning the white house down this time😉 60% of our fuel cost is Tax, however I work on a farm and we get to use Red Diesel that isn't Taxed as heavily. However that is now at £1.20 a Litre( I'll let you convert it this time😁) over harvest we'll be burning around 2000 Litres a day, on to of a fertiliser going from around £200 a tonne to over £900 things are looking worrying as we have to plan a year ahead. Hopefully on of the Russian billionaires will take Putin out for a special cocktail 😵
@@dmorga1 I think that's a fair point, I find Hoovie easier to watch. I'd forgotten about that Jay Leno quote, I think he makes a very good point too. I'm open to an electronic car however I'm not totally convinced about the total environmental impact of the full life of the car, and they're so bloody expensive at the moment. I wonder how reliable electronic cars will be when they get pasted on to second and third owners?

We've really lost the plot here. The car is incredibly fast, sure, but that's all it is. It's redundant as soon as something faster/quicker enters the scene. Without something to make people passionate about the vehicle, an EV (of any performance level) is just as replaceable as any econobox crossover or smartphone for that matter.
What the absolute f$ck are you talking about? You can drive slow if you want. Its a 4 door family sedan with a computer thats performance is equal to a ps5 and youre complaining. You can even make the car sound like a v8 through speakers if thats what youre into.
@@geraskatinas1846 what I'm saying is that the Plaid, and the lesser Teslas, don't make me feel anything beyond acceleration forces. Fantastic as a daily driver, but not something I would ever care about owning. Some automobiles are more than the sum of their parts, and the Plaid isn't one of those. Its main selling feature is that it is painfully fast. Beyond that, it's exactly like ever other Tesla, and the majority of other EVs.
@@Briggsian excuse me.. Which other tesla has that size of a screen with the performance of a ps5. Which other EV has that much range? Which other tesla has such a wide stance?

@@geraskatinas1846 I don't buy a car for its processing capability or its ability to drive itself. When I buy a vehicle, I do so because of how it makes me feel, which is a culmination of how it looks and sounds, its performance, and it's ergonomics. I would personally take an E-Tron GT over a Model S, even though it is objectively worse in performance and range, due to the fact I much prefer the Audi's styling, the sounds it makes, the build quality, and the fact it has an interior that wasn't designed, first and foremost, to save money.

My mom used to have a car like that "eggplant" 1994 Ford Taurus Station wagon, except hers was tan on tan. I was with her when she got it back when I was like 7 or 8. She was trading in her 4-door 1986 Buick Skyhawk (her first car) and man did the jump in technology and space do wonders for this little car enthusiast! You're talking power windows, loads of space in the back seat, A REVERSE FACING THIRD ROW JUMP SEAT!!! I was stoked when she got that car! Even got rear-ended in it once while my cousin and I was sitting in the jump seat. Unfortunately I was dozing off at the time so I didn't see the impact, just felt it. Minor bump, no damage. She's had 4 cars since then, but I do miss those simpler times.
Was yours fancy enough to have a CD player? A little nicer than what I grew up with. A 1994 Corolla. Only option it had was an automatic transmission. No AC and power nothing. Navy blue vinyl inserts in the seats would burn your leg hair off in the summer. Family replaced it with a new 2010 Corolla S and were mind blown at how luxurious it was. Now they drive a Tesla

@@jefffaller8474 You think wrong then. Top notch dynamics, insulation and comfort all while making an ICE feel as smooth as an electric car. Thats not old technology.

I’m a car nut. Owned 98 cars so far… have 4 in the driveway at current time, including a 2002 Porsche Boxster S. I love my Porsche and just had a great 100 mile twisty road drive yesterday. Having said that, I also own a 2014 Fiat 500e for daily driving and commuting. Also love that car. Electrics really are special and have a ‘soul’. I love the instant power and even the electric whine as she tears off down the road, from the few stoplights I experience every day. Super good stereo with an Alter Bridge album usually blasting away. I haven’t decided if the argument that electrics actually are worse for the planet is true or not, but I think I lean toward they will help and obviously, oil is a limited resource over time. But also, my favorite thing about this car is the 2 cents a mile cost to drive it. If I can keep from burning off the front tires all the time, Maintenance is literally 0$… electric cars are here to stay and, can live symbiotically alongside the gas one. IMHO. Many happy drives all you gear heads! ☺️

Me'h, tuned it off at the six minute mark, just too much dog and pony launch focus by the owner. I've never turned off a Hoovie, but this wasn't a Hoopty episode, it was a validation video for his friend. Pass.
It doesnt have life that an actual motor does. You have no auditory stimulation and the feel of the engine.
As a person who likes to hold on things and only replace it when it's completely unsalvageable/unusable, electric cars doesn't sound appealing. Also Tesla's track record on quality control and reliability doesn't help either.
It's why I bought a Ford Model A from 1929 last year at age 29 as my first car. And i'll probably keep it for the rest of my life.
(already imagining the time they will ban those cars of the road, just for the fact that they don't have AI driving it, and people can't imagine how unsafe driving a car yourself would be)
I can see a hooves classic electric conversion series coming I will look forward to that.
One thumb down for EV marketing. Two thumbs up for Video Bob, what a cool dude.
For a reboot to get the same feeling it would have to be something that was defunct, in my opinion that leaves something like a Fisker Karma as the most likely Back to the Future car.
I was thinking the same thing
The Karma is still being made though. The brand is now called Karma but the vehicle is essentially the same.
Yea but it’s probably gonna be discontinued soon
greatest car ever made? what it the bs?
Somebody who says “there’s no reason anybody should own one of these without a special license “does not deserve to have nice things.
People like that are the reason we don’t have nice things.
A modern Back to The Future would probably use a Fisker Karma as the time machine
I love Tongue-in-cheek Tyler. Pure gold.
He really has to slide the LGB in there? Cmon.
We can only assume they're big supporters of the LGBTQ lifestyle, and were simply shortening it to not stretch out the video as much.
Lets go brandon bs!? Which means fuck biden right?
@@JohnDoe-dc6nr yeah. I don’t like politics in my car videos
Here's what I told my Tesla buddy. We can drive up to the race track (about 200 mi away) put down 5 laps, and then drive home. And whoever makes it back first wins.
I like seeing Hoovie and Video Bob do videos together
“Uglier” says the guy who settled on red tinted sun glasses
Hoovie keeps talking about the death of gas, when is he going to do an electric conversion on a classic? Best of both worlds
Your killing me waiting for this next video for the car reveal!!!!!!
I've always thought of the Mystery Machine as a 60s Ford van.
That's quite a nice car collection but of all those cars I actually wanted to see more of the Fiero and all the mods that was done to it.
and if I had my choice of any of them, I would take the Model S
I’m right there with you 👍🏻

Yes..we need more plastic cars on display.
Video Bob seems a lot more charged about his cars than Tesla dude..
Could there be two guys on more opposite ends of the likability scale than the 2 guests in this episode?
I love that you support smaller channels. You operate a great channel, too
Agree. The person who sold me my classic Corvette recently said to me.. 'Tesla have ruined it, nothing competes'. I also own a Tesla Model 3 SR+, the slowest cheapest Tesla, it still does 0-60 in five seconds.. when i were a lad the very best cars in the Top Trumps card game could do five seconds.
Sr+ is great. Drove my buddies on a road course and caught and passed a c6 zo6 with ease. The lower weight makes it the best handling tesla out there
But does it have to all be about speed?
Tesla cars look amazing the first year, then the car falls apart and you can't fix it.
@@sommebuddy but when they do break your fucked, as Tyler has proven
@@SpecialKLSX ...Tyler also just spent $15,000 putting a new Capristo exhaust on his constantly broken Lamborghini Diablo.

No way the Cadillac wreath and crest was mounted that high on the C pillar from the factory!
I drive a 99 Taurus Wagon currently, maroon. The last of the bubble Taurus lol. It's only 83k miles... But it has a little fire damage, tons of under carriage rust, and electrical issues. But the engine is tip top lol.
Man I love to rent that scar face caddy when I visit Vegas! Driving down the stripe would be awesome.
Hey cool, Video Bob! This channel has all the best Bobs.
The problem with hero cars to day is that it's too expensive for studios to do shows and movies that feature car chases and stuff anymore. The last thing even close was the Bayformers movies We'll never see another Cannonball Run movie or Knight Rider show unless they're all CG like those Hotwheels cartoons from the early 2000s, and that's even without Teslas.
Sheeeeit you must have never seen Mad Max Fury Road.
I love how the Tesla owners try to convince themselves that the model S is really better than the Taycan. S Class quality, you really are funny man
Yep, that really made me chuckle 😂
Nothing beats a Porsche build quality. Especially not a damn Tesla 😂
@@nukedpancakes3_863 Tell that to the Taycan owners enjoying the great Porsche coffee during their fifth visit to the shop in 18 months.. German build quality is a myth nowadays..
@@NO3V what 🤔
My favorite is when they floor it. Every single video you can hear the entire interior crack and rattle like a PT Cruiser.
That Taurus, so jealous. Guy in town here found a first gen wagon with wood paneling, threw a tree on the roof and drives it at Christmas
Hey Hoovie, the foam seats are made in Riverside Missouri!
They are nice but survive-ability of the batteries in the cold northern winters is the quest they have not worked on enough.
Never heard anything special about that compared to other climates, where did you get that from?
With global warming, that won’t be a problem.
the fact that they aren't serviceable and have no value after the batteries life is a serious issue. Paying 100k for, lets be generous, 10 years use. First guy is OK maybe the second guy but the poor folks will have nothing left when it gets to them.
@@GoldenCroc Batteries don't do well in the cold - decreases lifespan and charge.
@@TheSlipperyBrick Sure. But where is the data that this affects Tesla with their active thermal managment to any meaningful degree?
I wonder if that guy with the sunglasses actually believes that 0-60 is all that matters in a car
It’s what musk fangirls thinks about cars, they are ruining the car community, I’ve seen someone in a plaid beat Porsche Cayman at a racing circuit and he was soooo proud of that like wtf!!!!
I mean he essentially did say that, he said he doesn't care about how it sounds or feels/handles. What's important to him is numbers on a sheet of paper.
He drives the spec sheet. He was honest at least. Not honest about the silly steering wheel though.
This is their delusion. At least the Taycan gives far more feedback to the driver
Just cause it’s fast doesn’t make it the best it’s the entire experience and sounds f those electric cars you can keep them
Its not even fast lmao. Just because it has a quick 0-60 doesnt mean its top end speed is high. Teslas are jokes lmao. Land whales but even more useless
that dude car collection is a one off, rare sight, masterpiece. please buy that beautiful eldo
Video Bob is cool as hell. I watched him in a video talk about about his Blues Brothers Dodge Monaco he had to sell. The guy is a legend. You could've gone longer with him! You just blew through like you didn't care about his cars.
Yo VIDEOBOB is the man I'm glad I'm not the only fan. I enjoy all his content, from air fryers, to Rolex watches, and most importantly busted and janky / deprecated cars. Which are great junky or not I love them all.
“Not that bad” is not what I want to tell people about the one thing that I touch every time I drive a car.
I love the yoke in my Model X. I miss it every time I switch vehicles.
Loved the LGB reference lol
You know what I love? I love random guy with insanely sick glasses. Actually, I just love those glasses. WICKED
Despite their immense speed and technology, I just can't love electric cars. Distinctive driving dynamics are basically gone as they all seemingly deliver power in the same exact fashion and from my experience, terribly one note.
Yeah. They’re all currently one trick ponies, and all the ones that aren’t are ridiculously expensive. As a daily in a suburban area? Yeah, I could see it. But every obtainable electric car, and even some of the expensive ones have no soul. They all feel more related to a power drill to a regular car. Good at one thing, bad at all others
If I get an electric car I'm either building a project "diy" car, or getting a cheap old one.
Hell, that purple Taurus wagon is cooler than a Tesla to me.
The real litmus test will be when there's an electric MX5, with similar weight, feels and range as the current ND.
If that happens, then the death knell really will ring.
They are appliances, nothing more.
They impress me as much as the freezer I occasionally forget I have in my garage.
Really enjoyed this video, always cool to have a guest on and just talk cars
Life is too short, enjoy every car out there that one finds interest in and don’t worry about what other people say about it. Why care about someone’s else’s opinion about the car when you’re the one paying for it. Your energy is better spent creating value from your existence. If you need valuation about which car you chose and put others down, best recommendation for you is to work in your self esteem.
Porsches, Teslas, corvettes, Lambos, etc they are all awesome. Question you should ask yourself is why you didn’t become successful enough to be able to afford any toy you want. Focus your energy on building wealth rather than what others think of your toys, after all they are your toys
Love the vibe between those two. I mean Bob.
Every car enthusiast should hate you too Tyler! 😂 Kidding!
I do find it amusing the space balls plaid speed reference and even having the dash do the plaid speed effect
I love the references and the Badge.Kudos Mr.Musk !
I think we basically reached "Top Acceleration" for Electric Cars, more is just stupid, but theres still ALOT to be done in regards to range. The Plaid maybe shows 350 Miles after charging but accelerate like that 10 times and you can charge it again.
We need a Plaid for the mass market with 500 Miles real range - And that will be the day my diesel will collect dust.
500 miles weighing less than 5000 lbs. It's an engineering challenge, to put it mildly.
@@herrbrahms it should be. Gasoline cars had over a 100 years to get where they are now. Electric cars, while older, didnt receive much investment until recently.
What we need is an electric car that accelerates at a normal rate and has a top speed near the legal limit. Price and range will be acceptable without any effort then. But for one reason or another faster, faster faster is the only thing manufacturers are interested in.
@@SuperDirk1965 yeah you can drive that car, im not interested in a car that accelerates like trash and caps out at 80.
@@BatLB And where and when will you be driving that car you like at the speeds you're proposing?
That steerlingwheel though, hehe. yeah its a nice ev, wish it wasnt that expensive. Big Up
Holy crap thats his house?! He is right up the street from me, I always laugh at that fake cop car when I drive by.
You live next to a Movie Car museum! I'd have to sneak over there.
Don't come to my house. lol
@@RobertMoseley Sir I make no promises if I happen to see you outside at all lol
Sorry Tyler, the interior is not S-Class quality. After 1-2 years, the true material quality shines through with delaminating vinyl covered panels and painted finishes that rub off under normal use. Panel gaps and misalignments are still an issue in 2022. Tesla is pseudo-luxury or quasi-luxury at best.
The diet coke of luxury. Just one calorie! But not luxury enough.
And that steering “wheel” just sucks
more like c class though, mercedes has been cheaping out for years.
Tesla is American luxury like a Cadillac although that might be a bit unfair to Cadillac. American luxury is lots of gadgets and stuff that looks good. It is not high quality well made stuff. I am not sure that too many cars are actually luxury anymore.
@@lsorense Not sure what point you are trying to make. German "luxury" is leasing a car for 3 years and dumping it before the maintenance and depreciation bankrupts you several times over...
I love the fact that it's named for the "ludicrous speed" scene in Spaceballs and the symbol on back of the car of what they saw.
