This was a fun shoot if I do say so myself 😃, drop a like if you loved this video
I have liked 😅
@@LightBulbMomentsKE yesss we need those like to know what the tribe likes to see 😃
@ Imagine that!😅
I was to comment on the videography. Until I saw this.Kudos
@ asante sana bro , ukinipea sub pale nitafurahi
You laugh at his English
He laughs at your bank account
😹 😹
yeah.. hehe
Kkkkkkk
😂😂😂😂😂waaah
😆😆👍
Who else came here for the Tesla but discovered the owner is more interesting and likable
i agree
Very chill guy, did not expect it
For sure...for a second I was beaming while listening to him and forgot abt the Tesla.
Yeah me too
This is what "Gujarati's" are like 😂
If you really want something, it doesnt matter how much it costs- Patel
I love this guy. So bubbly and happy and positive. Business since 1976? He needs to write something
Patel started doing business in 1976, he really deserves such a car 👏👏
I love how this man adores Africa
You nailed it
Wow I used to work at viraj as a teacher back in 2016, though people have had bad experience working with Indians I can say the Patel family were the best bosses very humble
I enjoyed Nairobi history lesson from the Gentleman as much as I did about the Tesla insight...
How comes no one is appreciating his school.
He's built a really nice institution!!! 👏
Wow! Thank you Patel May God bless you so much for me
Which school is this,
@@safeeric125 Viraj international academy
Forget the car. The owner is interesting himself 😅😅
I sppteciate what the man said, afticans are capable. The car is super
This interview is legit....mzae ako open sana
He started doing business when Uhuru was a little boy. But he looks younger than him. Aging like fine wine.
Pia pesa husaidia
Indians don't eat nyama choma fwaa like Africans. They eat a little roti and ndengu. That helps.
He probably also does not drink alcohol. Very dehydrating. Few things age one's skin and organs like alcohol. The more you consume, the greater the negative impact on your body as time goes by.
This guy's do fasting alot
@@coupleschannel58 kwani uhuru hana
2 tribes i respect in Kenya when it comes to business, Kikuyu and Indians, big up to the Patels, very hardworking guy
Indians know were the bread is buttered that is manufacturing hope kikuyu can try that
😁 We are impressed because Patel pulls up in a Tesla? Let's be impressed because Patel pays his staff enuff to live next to him or buy their own Tesla's.🙂
@@catherinenyoro3953 when he offers employment to them that's already enough, not everyone should have a Tesla or posh BMW, what we want as human beings is food, shelter and good medication, the rest is vanity 😀
compensation for work done is done based on some merits ie.skills required to perform a task,risk involving in performing a task,level of education etc. So your claim that he should pay his workers to be able to buy a Tesla is stupidly and absurd your pay should will and shall forever be based on this don't expect millions for being a receptionist
@@catherinenyoro3953 LOL at least to meet their basis needs
Kenyans are so talented... They see him for the first time and they are already commenting how humble and down to earth he is 🤣😂🤣. Awuoro
Good observation ,your a smart guy
SOLAR POWER IS SO EASY
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
😂😂😂
You got my like for that awuoro😂😂😂
Bro Viraj is a free and loving human to have, love the way he speaks and laugh congratulations to his achievement and congratulations to you also bro I like you style of engagement with others
Let's give this channel some likes. He is doing better efforts than some of our journalists
Yaa its really cool to have this in africa. Our governments should wake up and promote such green cars . People are silently dying of cancer from ICE engines
Ice Engine ndo gani
@@kevinewete3475 Internal Combustion Engines
Not just journalist but the whole of Citizen tv, standard media
@@reubentv2948 Corporate media is trash
Being a car enthusiast,this is the best kenyan review I've watched, I wanna do this in the coming years..
The government should zero rate electric cars and refund all those who have already paid those exorbitant fees.
Their mindset is so behind. All they're looking at is making extra off the top from others...
Please as @FredMSL explain to me why you are saying that and specifically to electric cars
Please explain why you say electric cars specifically sir
Because of their low carbon footprint
The greed can't allow them
Did you know that Mr. Nikola Tesla, a great engineer, inventor of electricity and scientist was born in my country (Croatia) in a small village, in 1856, and died in New York in 1943. The car's named after him.
Woow good info
I don’t know
How many people are watching this because they are considering to get themselves a tesla in Kenya?
Model X is cheaper in the states.
Big MONEY is NEVER LOUD. MZEE Viraj is really wealthy na tumemjua juzi. @African Traveller AWESOME STUFF RIGHT HERE BROTHER...
A humble rich man.He seems to be a quite hardworking and a business oriented person.
Very nice video .🇰🇪👍... lovely the way the guy believes in Kenya n Africa such an inspiration
He has seen the country grow and he has invested greatly in it.
This guy is really charismatic.
Hahaha, Patel is very funny and interesting.
Hahahah true
Who says Africans are poor, they are are willing to pay more than double the price for a Tesla.
We pay double because we pay more taxes to import your shit
@@i90_highway 😂😂😂😂😂 well said

The unknown business moguls are the ones who own ,the bragadicio business moguls are the ones who can't own.
So true!! You nailed it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That guy is so humble you wouldn't think he drives a 20M car
If you meet him in the street,you can buy him soda and kdf thinking he's broke
Love the video man!!! Afrikan traveller! Electric all the way 🙌🏾
The videography is on point 💯
Nice job African Traveller
Thanks
Best video on this channel. My new dream car... I like how he avoids talking about the price.
Because it's not 20milliom, price is exaggerated, looking through the window right now my next door neighbour charging hers # single parent, unemployed ) not judging or disrespect phew! no way she can afford that, common in the streets of London like BMW 's.
the price is on the internet buddy
Such kind of people make me to work smatter
He's really loud John but if you really listen, he's actually a really kool and hardworking guy who is clearly a respectable businessman employing so many of his fellow Kenyans thanks for showing the diversity and innovation in Kenya.
What innovation..it's just a rich guy buying a car..if only you could hype actual innovations ..made in Kenya..
@@visvivacnckenya1620 ikr lol
Elon Musk of Tesla should see this n run towards investing in 🇰🇪 Kenya.
After just 1 car ?
Its fun to listen to the guy. He has so much energy. He is clearly enjoying his new car
I like him sana
How the interview changed from Tesla to motivational ......
Excellent, i really support his spirit.. I love teslas, I'm from Tanzania East Africa, i hope Elon brings support to these cars in Africa including making them affordable ... He was born in South Africa for God's sake
Its all about profit
I think I take for granted being American and seeing Tesla charge stations at City Hall...in rural Georgia. AS IF THAT IS NORMAL...and it isnt. Charge stations all over LA...and I don't blink an eye. Kenya is rising 🙌
Afrikan Traveller great job on this interview, no worries Tesla dealership coming to S.Africa 🇿🇦 añd Robicon is pushing a lot to bring Tesla in Africa. More potential customers waiting for it
Kidogo Kidogo mtaskia KRA wanawafuata. The man is brilliant with lots of experience, Let him enjoy his sweat
Kra gonna milk him some more of cash
There should be no duty on electric car for now, come on tax men😡
This country will tax the hell outta you to bring in anything. As an owner of 2 Tesla’s here in the states we get tax breaks and tax credits.
@@loneric550 $200,000 for a Tesla in Kenya.....
@@criswireless1976 how much does it cost is in US bro
@@alfanm.8221 It costs around 8.8 million Kshs or $79,900 .

Viraj apartments owner probably. The guy is super rich.
They own thousands of apartments in kileleshwa and lavington
No wonder
Ooh wow and me here am having three doors rentals & I usually walk as if have made it in life.ooh God see me through nfunzee kua simple.
They are the owners you are not wrong
I hope he doesn't try to use auto pilot on this our kenyan roads 😂😂
it isn't supported here...
Thank you Afrikan Traveller
Karibu sana.
The owner is a down to earth man.
That is how most dollar billionaires are, they spend on basics first and luxuries last , like Mike zukeberg( simple dressing ) versus Mike sonko(bling bling ).

If you were to ship one mandazi costing 5 ksh from the usa you'll buy it at 100 ksh in Kenya
Very true
Too expensive to buy the mandazi 😅 4 times expensive then in Norway 😂
😂😂😂
1k.
Yea you are better off smuggling it through somalia into Eastleigh..... Oh wait.
The muindi is just Original and real
Tesla model X, the most expensive tesla model in the world goes for 9 million ksh (90k usd). I think kenya's custom duty levi is too much.
Yeah, you almost pay the same amount of the car as duty
Kenyan levies overprice the commodities forcing people to switch online .
Though the mzee's 12v battery might die soon. Would advise him to go for lithium ion 12v light weight battery and remove that huge 12v lead acid battery that dies very fast for him to enjoy this baby very well. Mzee am very happy for u here in uganda
I think Tesla Model S plaid is more expensive than Model X
Almost $200,000 and in USA are $80,000 brand new Tesla model X it's sad I saw 2017 ford mustang sold over $80,000 in kenya and you can find $15,000 in USA
Woow kenyans on youtube comments are specialities they can tell a person's whole personality in 20 minutes
I bet you didn't know the tesla logo creates itself when the doors are facing up.
From a car show to Kenya history😆
Kenya needs more humble fellas like Patel 😃. Pesa kidogo na unaamua hatutapumua! Be like Patel!
Hahaha
Mr. Patel is such fun to hung out with, I wish him long life and all the best 😁😁😁
But enyewe kudos to the guy. Owning a Tesla is another experience by itself.
There’s a red Tesla Model S in Tanzania since 2019 I think, owned by Dewji
Now I’m certain that @Afrikan Traveller loves tech :D
am moved at the way he is managed to switch frm car to history lesson...n the accent is awesome
They think africans live on trees😂😂😂😂
Lol, he was very funny.
Who thinks that..
Surely they should make it as easy as possible to get an EV so as to encourage more people to go for it. Anyway I like this guy😆. Sounds like he has loads of interesting stories to tell. He also appears so down to earth. When I saw this video on my recommendations I was expecting a stuck up guy with a fake american accent 🤣🤣
Keep it up. Raw and educative. You are going places. You beat seasoned journalists hands down!!
Thank you, will surely keep at it.
He danced around the how much did you buy it question..with a history lesson😁
By 2030s hopefully this will be the norm in these sides. Cheers to the pioneer!
Corruption won't allow it 😉
I agree
The vehicle is worth $80k in Us yet in Kenya 20M is about $ 188k with current rates. . What a waste.
Only thing I pity is the kenya power rationing. 🤣🤣😂 I hope he has a generator to carry with him everywhere.
I love your content
Amazing video indeed, salute the camerawoman @light bulb moments👍👍🕺🕺🕺
Was waiting for this, knew it was coming. Well done. I saw someone work out the tax incentive on EVs in Kenya and the difference is quite significant. 10% excise duty instead of the normal 20%.
Great step, we need more incentive though.
This guy is proud to be a Kenyan.
He should get a national award for thinking and talking positively about his country.
He has hard earned his money hence should drive the best money can buy.
The president should speedily reward Viraj with a state commendation...he's a special human being.
Simplicity. Amazing how the car has no funny No plate... Real money is quiet... Hawa watu wa second hand Vxs wanatusumbua bure
Very true.
@@AfrikanTraveller watu wa subaru haha
@@kelvyn7009 Subaru is a good car!!
In France, UK etc that's just like a harrier, nothing surprising about it. Bado tuko nyuma 😂

You're really doing a great job 🙏 bro
He looks simple!.should test drive one soon👍
Mohammed Dewji... A Tanzanian businessman and entrepreneur had a Tesla since 2019....
This is 2nd Tesla in Kenya. Maybe African traveller is not aware of it coz the 1st one is old model compare to this
@@amyskitchen_jikoni Yeah, African traveler should note this...
I want a Tesla, great content bro
Thanks Bro.
This is interesting, and the owner is such a jovial guy! Nice video! 😃
Congrats to Kenya ✌️ from Rwanda 🇷🇼
Nice one
Thanks fay😊😊
Thank you for highlighting Electric Vehicles. They should come in Duty Free to reduce dependency on Fossil fuels. The Government gives you a lot of tax breaks if you buy EV in US or China. We need to convert to EV to save foreign exchange and also our environment. California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that after 2035, sales of -powered would be in , a state where more than 50% of greenhouse emissions are generated by transportation. California sets the standards for the US because it such large market that all Car makers will roll this out nation wide. Kenya can dump the outdated fossil fuel technology and go straight to EV.
Norway is cutting short sales of gasoline dependent cars by 2025
We don't skip ads here
Thank you.
The mzee deserves to enjoy his best life and ev.
Imagine if elon musk build Tesla kenya or Tesla South Africa where he was born.
There is no support in Africa
How many people will buy it? The market makes no sense.
Africa is still 13th century continent. You can't compete. Tesla is a common car her in Dubai. In USA is even not impressive it's considered just normal
@@ndimuafrica every celebrity, if apple said the same thing.
Google number of millionaires South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt have???
If your country can't support your vision ,go where it can!
Very impressive fellow. Great car, great school, clearly loves his country and has made quite a contribution to it.
Indeed!
Me like the, guy, this good tesla kinda, wall, Bai you good, me understand you mafriend, me like you have to much money bhai me salut
In many other countries electric cars are actually subsidized. It's not taxed at all and as a green initiative the governments actually pays you.
Welcome to Kenya the failed state
This government actually hates innovation
Eeh eti pay you and we have our own social problems ...we are collecting taxes at all cost.lol
@@winniew6742 the problems caused by the very people who make tax laws,they want to pay the loans they borrowed,we are no different from wazungu,its our management is full of big pockets
This is the problem of us africans. Just showing off! There cars out here.... tembea the world.
KES 20M is overkill. That’s Kenya 🇰🇪 Duty for you! Nonetheless, the Model X is a pioneer in the EV domain.

it ain't that easy
This Tesla passed me along Mlolongo like a flash and there was traffic. Couldn't keep up. Don't ask what car I was driving. I though I was speeding since I was late to get to a client who was already furious with me.
Which sir? 😁
When cars come to kenya they become super expensive,wtf!!
i bet mwang,njuguna can afford it but they are laylow guys people in kenya are rich

The battery ended at machakos junction first day from msa, electric cars can make you sleep by the road

Am proud to be part of the Tesla AI project, much love from kenya.
What did it entail?
A Tesla ain't 20m. That's a Range rover sports. The car is dope, has no exhaust pipe, literally drives itself if one can say so, it has sensors everywhere. Infact the worst part of it is that can it stop talking too much? You get close to another car, ishaanza maneno, temperature change, maneno Mia tano, too much weight maneno mengine. Can it just stop being noisy otherwise it's a great car.
