Two nice guys doing business and finding common ground can be interesting. An expensive adventure for Mark and Jessica but like Mark said, the chance to spend time together solving problems and meeting challenges will be remembered for life. Thanks to you both for sharing this story.
Mark is super cool. Dave, please bring Mark back to talk EVs or cars in general. The two of you should have these conversations a few times a year. Also, what are all of the names of Mark's cars and what are the stories behind how each car got it's rapper name?
I hit a pothole a few months back, in my Acura Integra, on a holiday. I had no spare, so I had to wait three hours for a tow back to my dealership. Got there around 1230 am or so. I hate that all cars seem to be low profile tires, with no spare.
I buy vehicles for work out of state and have always gotten “in transit” plates to get me home. All you have to do is go to the notary or whatever that state calls them and tell them you need an in transit plate. They’re just paper but that’s the way to do it until you get home to your own notary to apply for a title.
Great story Mark, glad you have your "new" Tesla, but check out unplugged performance for their luxury suspension that will do wonders to your 2021 Model Y Performance ride quality and not loose your performance handling!
Had similar happen to a friend in the downtown area here in Vancouver BC… both he and I had bought our model threes in 2022 and his winter came along we got a deal on ice tires/ all weather tread but with a three peaks re-snow capability. Anyway, my friend had his tire somehow leaking air rapidly and cold Tesla via the app: the upshot of the conversation was that as the tires were purchased elsewhere i.e. other than tesla provided we were to call either the motor club or have it towed privately as it wasn't covered. It was rush-hour cell aft er the third hour waiting, another friend and I decided to take a wheel to him from my car to rescue him. That got my friend Home that night and lesson learned……,,!
The lack of spare tires is a problem. It makes road tripping a bit of a crap shoot. I have had three flats in the past 15 years. All were due to road hazards. Then the question is whether a temporary spare or a tow is a better solution? Mark handled this situation very well, but it was funny that his computer battery ran out of juice at the end of the podcast. Keep that Tesla charged up Mark so you don’t need another tow.
One other thing when buying new or used, ask the seller to not charge it to max maybe to 50% and ask to test out the DC charging Before taking delivery especially on a long trip. I bought a Brand New 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 that could not fast DC charge, and the thing that saved me is I decided to try the DC charging before going on a 1800 mile road trip 2 weeks before and that is when I discovered I could not fast DC charge. That was no small potatoes to get repaired 7 months and 6 service trips to get if fixed and with that bad experience I got my 2023 White on white Model Y AWD Long Range with the 19" wheels and tow hitch, sounds familiar?
Great interview! I too recently had a long road trip over the Christmas holidays from NC to NH and decided there’s no way in hell I’m going to drive almost 2000 miles without a spare. So I got the Modern Spare and found a video on TH-cam that showed how, by removing the lower rear sub trunk you can for the Modern Spare in there and still leave your main hatch area open. Tesla should do a small redesign of the softer parts of the rear area to allow everyone to carry a spare if they so wish.
He got an unrepairable flat on New Years Eve. He faced the same challenges any ICE car driver would have faced. This is not an EV tragedy. This is a holiday travel flat tire story. I like him.
Interesting, I purchased my first Tesla from an Infiniti dealership. Carfax came back clean but found body shops in the GPS history. It was a great car but couldn't get any history on the car!
Not just EV's who don't have spare tires. Neither do motorcycles, and I've been touring on them since 1971. I once had a tire slashed badly on some object just outside Aspen, Colorado, on a 1300cc BMW K1300. Certainly no tires locally. Fortunately I had cell service there, and fortunately I had a friend nearby who came and got me in his truck. Ended up getting trucked to the BMW shop in Denver for a new tire. I had tire repair kit, but no way it could work on that cut.
From an owner of a Tesla Y Performance, if/when buying from a private owner, within the Tesla app, it keeps up with your service history. Open the app and download all the repairs or service receipts. 😊
Dave why didn’t you use the transfer of ownership of the Y to Mark that is available in the Tesla app? If you had done that then Mark would have not needed to jump through all the hoops he did with Tesla to claim ownership of the car. Sounds like all you did was add him as a driver in the app. I sold my Y to my son about 2 months ago and used the transfer of ownership functionality in the app and the process was seamless. My son was the owner of the car in about 10 minutes. The process was fully automated and they never had to interact with Tesla. As soon as I transferred ownership, the Y was no longer listed in my Tesla app.

Tesla are the most user friendly but having a car which has a large dealer body for support is absolutely a plus.. like ford or gm
7:00 ICE-T, while trying to get to the dmv to renew his driver’s license and registration on one of his cars ran afoul of a cop with some Y chromosome brain damage. The sergeant tried to get the ego tripping kid cop to calm down and drop two of the four citations he was writing to no avail, but managed to talk him down from towing the car. Overall ICE-T handled the situation well, I hope he succeeded in getting his papers in order.
I’d be afraid to sit there on the side of the highway. I’dy get so paranoid. I’d probably have to get out of the car. And hopefully there was some way that i could get a good distance from the highway.
I always kept commenting that for me the problem with flat tires on Teslas is a deal breaker to me. That is due to low profile, special design, inability to find a third-party tires.
In addition to due diligence and insurance from both seller & buyer, this transaction went smoothly because of two honorable people. This does not occur all the time.
I just bought the 2025 Model Y, not juniper in October 2024. Got almost $20000 off the car in GA. Only thing is tesla takes a long time to process my permanent tags. My tags expired 3days ago, but tesla still says they working on getting my tags to me. Anyone has this experience?
In Michigan, bc Tesla isn’t technically a dealer in this state (can’t store new unsoldcars here), they’re required to obtain and install plates with a new car purchase/delivery - no transfers allowed, and no temp tags. I was surprised to find the real license plate on the car when I picked it up - the entire transaction was handled in a week.
Good thing you didn't buy a new tire from a Tesla service center! They will make you buy all four tires or nothing! Past experience by someone I know! They had no choice because they ruined the wheel from the flat. Tesla would not sell the wheel unless they replaced all four tires. The tires had been replaced recently and had a little over 2000 miles on them.
That’s not unique to Tesla. This is common practice for AWD vehicles when a new tire has a greater tread depth differential than the other 3 tires (3/16”-5/16”). Having a greater diameter of one out of four tires is really hard on the vehicle.
@@AnthonyFauccinot true for EVs there’s no drive shaft or viscus coupling connecting the front and rear differentials like on ICE AWD systems. You only need to have matching pairs on each axle like FWD or RWD only cars.
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated!!!
As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Ruth Ann Tsaoknas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking??

What a great interview!! What a trip, more real stuff on that road trip. Mark and his daughter are amazing and was quite the story.

Dave is such a Snoop Dog 🐶 😂
Love this video. Informative and relaxing chat.
A good vlog that offers lots of useful info. Thanks
Mark is awesome! This was a wonderful story
This was so good, hearing about the adventure of Mark taking the car back home and naming the car.

Nice haircut dave
Thanks!!!
sorry you had that flat tire, awesome story, so glad your experience was taken care of without any other incidence, best of wished to all
Poor guy😢 he was all excited with his daughter, and Pop goes the tire !!! I'm watching your podcast while watching Snoops Dog Arizona Bowl 😅
Great story Mark, glad you have your "new" Tesla, but check out unplugged performance for their luxury suspension that will do wonders to your 2021 Model Y Performance ride quality and not loose your performance handling!
Ice T has also fronted a metal band since the early nineties and he is still going strong with that.

That was fun. Another out of charge onto Dave's list (even if it is a laptop)

Remove the sub trunk liner…
I always keep a plug kit and inflator in my Model Y.

What service is required on a Tesla?
@@briannacc3983Tires, minor incidents or accidents and fluids. They also do battery health checks and/or 11-16volt battery replacement if need be.
CarFax only reports what was reported. If collisions happen and aren't reported to insurance, etc., those accidents won't show up in CarFax.
Why wasn't there already a modern spare tire in the Y?
“Modern spare tire” - ROFLOL, does such a thing exist? How many new cars have spares anymore?
@@georgepelton5645he means the company modern spare. It makes lightweight spare tires that are popular in the Tesla community. They are $500 tho.
I’m originally from St. Louis and we had a store named shop and save.
Michelin and General Motors intend to roll out the very first airless tires for select vehicles.

I see the thumbnail at least 6 times a week - especially since I live in a very cold and snowy part of the Country.

Mark, is your Rav 4 a Prime? Taking an educated guess that it is. I heard it is the second fastest Toyota in their fleet, next to the Supra GR. 7:41
Carfax report Junebug: Watch out for the bollards at the mall 😂
The sound system is pretty good but it would be great if they would make it stereo instead of mono.

This is why my wife and daughter like run flat tires on their BMW's. Does Tesla or any other EV offer run flat tires?
Real guy
Great video and you could't have sold it to a nicer guy.
I never knew Tesla didn’t report to CARFAX. Seems a little shady 🤔

I don’t believe that’s true. I hit a rock last summer and the Duluth, GA Service center replaced the wheel and one tire on a walk-in basis.
@ yep
Not true. I had to replace a flat tire and only the damaged tire was replaced. This may vary from service centers.
What a tragedy.
