I'm pretty sure brakes need maintenance too dude
ARE THEY TAKING THE $200 OFF THE PRICE OF THE CAR???
I could probably just use a normal pump and probably quicker as it’s an overpriced pump
Yes, because owning a car makes you a tyre expert. You should be in an F1 pit crew
He's definitely going to get roasted on the difference between wheel and tires
Dan Dan the simple man.
He’s actually quite thick. He says a lot of dumb sh!t.
Lol thats all i could think about for the first few minutes of the video. All good though. Great vid
Not a big deal
And “PSI’S” 😂
For sure! One of those things I'll never get right!
Hey Dan, you mentioned that you just have a bunch of those tesla cables lying around, but I think its more of a first world problem for you. I don't want to pay more money to get a charger installed in my house and I'd rather us the charger that comes free when you buy your electric car. I don't understand why Elon thinks this has no use, basically every Tesla owner (probably not a tesla owner that has 2 or more cars) use the mobile connector for charging at home, and charging at relatives homes when they go on vacation. Tesla basically pulled off an Apple move right there removing the mobile connector.
I used it all the time when I visit my parents or friends who do not have wall charger.
He also argues the point by using the fact “America” is being electrified…. Great but Tesla is a world wide company and a lot of countries it’s sold in have remote cities and locations.
I would say $200 is nothing compared to what you’d spend maintaining a gas or diesel vehicle, plus you all ready spent a lot what’s a bit more. That’s kind of how things are going.
Now don’t get me wrong, I get your point. I do, just doesn’t bug me.
First world problem for sure
They stopped giving a free charger
Not good advice in this video in my opinion. The wall connector is $400 but requires installation by an electrician unless you are willing to try yourself. Installation is usually $750-1000 plus the $400 connector price. It is also overkill for most people’s driving habits.
The wall charger installation should be basically the same price as a NEMA 14-50 outlet. You're literally only connecting three wires. 99% of the install price is going to be for the wiring.
The fact that Dan is just sharing so much personal info about expenses, and being honest enough to show how bald his tires were
Omg! Tyre tread reveal!
In the UK we have a mandatory MOT test every year once the car reaches 3 years old, those bald tyres would have been spotted by the mechanic and you wouldn’t have been able to drive the car again until the tyres were changed. It’s actually illegal to drive in the UK with tyres with a tread depth of less than 1.6mm and you can be subject to a fine of up to £2500 per tyre + 3 penalty points on your license - it’s that serious!
Came to comment the same thing. U.S really does feel like a third world country compared to other countries.
The vehicle inspection laws in the United States differ from state to state. Some states require an annual vehicle inspection and would of required the tires be replaced much sooner. Some states have zero requirements.
@@anderj235 thanks for the insight. Feel like it’s something that should be regulated regardless of state. It could be dangerous to the point of death.
Wow. We in the us definitely live in the land of the free. 😂😂😂
in Minnesota you would have been in the ditch 5mins after the 1st snow fall that how we sort out the under maintained cars we don't need any vehicle inspection
In my country it is required by law to change your tires regulary. Not only chnage between winter and summer tires but police also check your tire threads
I use my charger EVERYDAY to charge at work just by plugging in on a wall charger giving me the 15 percent i use to get to work (one way)..I also installed a 240 v wall outlet in my garage that i use the charger at night get a full charge. So the charger is a must for me
I think the outrage comes more from the fact that there was no price change in the car with the loss of the charger, so you're paying the same but getting less. If they removed the charger but dropped the price by 400$/200$ then no one would have cared.
When talking about cars this expensive, or just new cars in general, $200-$400 doesn’t really make a difference
@@sameerramdeen477 I don't agree with that argument though. It's an objectively anti-consumer move and there's no reason you as a consumer (assuming you're a consumer and not profiting from this move) should be defending it. Lets say the price of manufacturing is 100$ for that charger, over 1/2 million cars in a year is a truckload of money in tesla's pocket and that's the reason they did it. Any other reason given is an afterthought (unless like I mentioned, the price was lowered, then the purpose would indeed be to help with e-waste). 400$ might not be "that big a deal with cars that expensive" but it's a couple of nice restauraunt meals or a new tech gadget 😉
When the car has gone up in price almost 10k in the past year, how are we to know that didn't happen?
@@mushieslushie because a price reduction equivalent to the value of the charger would have been mentionned alongside the decision to remove the charger. It would have been a huge positive media point for them instead of the negative press they're getting now.
It’s only outrage because tesla is doing it. There are other EVs that don’t come with an EVSE, and no one cares. In a few years it will be the norm. People just want to rage when they can about Elon and tesla.
The problem with removing the charging cable is the principle. When you buy an electric car you want to have everything you need included with it that allows it to charge.
Also I would point out the $400 fast charging port that was installed is actually more expensive because you will need an electrician normally to install it correctly and safely.
Right on the point!
You need an electrician for the cable to unless you happen to have a dryer Outlet close enough to a place where you can charge your car so you're going to have to pay an electrician either way you might as well take it up a step and get the good charger
0:45 (🧑🦲🧑🏻🦲). 😂😂😂
Don't let your tyres go so Zack.
You should definitely get your tires rotated every 5,000 miles. Your tires will last longer and wear more evenly unlike your old front left tire.
I think that the charging cable should be included for free for people in an under developed country or for people buying their first Tesla.
It was always included in the price of the car.
That’s a great point! Totally agree.
But why? You say that like the people in under-developed countries who buy Teslas are poor and can't afford the $200 extra?
If you can buy a Tesla you're not poor regardless of where you live.
Not true, first of all why would people who are poor and in under developed country be buying Tesla car which would be costly as comapred to other cars in the market. And to those who would purchase their first Tesla car, they obviously can afford the charger.
@@bowiebcc what if they were saving up money for the car, but didn't know that the charger would be an extra charge which they didn't plan for.
Get your wheels aligned on top of a tire change. Well worth the wheel alignment.
And usually the place where you buy the tires will do it for free
Thanks Dan…wasn’t in the market for a tire inflator but I just bought the big one 😂
Nice to see sponsorships work.
So funny! The old style ones I've had around and use every once in a while. Now with these new ones (i know they are the sponsor) but I have been finding ways to pump things up! Yoga ball for my daughter, football for my son. Good to see some innovation in a product so now I actually use it.
Annnnnnd it arrived. Time to pump some stuff up 😂
@@qwikrip that's was fast
@@qwikrip I’m guessing Amazon same day delivery?
For US cars, they should include a CCS Adapter with each purchase as that’s the standard for public fast charging.
And Tesla should sell a CCS to Tesla plug adapter because non-Tesla EVs should also be able to use the Supercharger network.
Abb makes usb c charger
@@jaewonchang3448
That's actually the problem why Tesla isn't allowed to build public superchargers in Germany.
The population of tesla owners that want to fast charger outside the supercharging network is so small it’s not even funny.
Tesla’s charging network is so robust it would be nice to have a CCS adapter but teslas plug n play “just works.”
@@miami3863
Does it work in America?
In Europe finding Tesla chargers that actually work and are not occupied can still be a pain in many places.
What if i want to charge it at my relatives house, who dont have an EV at their houses?
use a charging station....
@@TheJttv So I have drive to the nearest one? When i could just use the one that company provided, while sitting at the comfort of relatives house?
As an owner of a Model 3, I found the mobile charger so important *when I first took delivery*. At that time I didn't have a house, we were renting and couldn't install a charger. I think that's when the mobile connector comes into play. In big cities, I've seen people hang extension cords out their windows to charge. In terms of travel, I do agree that the supercharger network has grown so much that you probably won't run into a time where you NEED a 220v or 110v charger. However, just in 2020 we took a road trip to the Grand Canyon and there was no superchargers or any other electric car chargers available. We had to stop at a campsite to charge and the 220v connector was key! I do think Tesla should include it, or lower the price by $200 since they're not including it anymore. It's kind of odd that they kept the price the same, but removed a key component to the car. But I will say this -- Once you own a Tesla, and a home you can install a charger, then the mobile connector sits in your trunk and collects dust. I find it only valuable for traveling (in the rare cases superchargers or level 2 chargers aren't available) and for maybe a quick charge when visiting a friends/family house if need be.
PS. Don't go through a regular car wash! Touchless car washes only for Teslas! Regular washes eat away at the Tesla paint and can easily scratch and damage your paint. Look up videos!
Thanks for the comment! Great comment.
Its essential in areas outside the US with poor charging infrastructure, we take it on road trips although it is becoming less necessary. Tesla should give you a card saying you own a Tesla when you purchase one, then if your workplace collects enough, you should get a discount on a charger installation at your workplace. Charging at the same time that PV panels are exporting their excess to the grid will do wonders for grid stabillity.
Just use the UK rule. If there is less than 1.6mm of tread across the centre 75% of the tyre, it should be changed.
Uneven wear means your inflation is either too high or too low depending on where the wear is most, always best practice to check air pressure before you go on a road trip and check when your tyres are cold.
Either low air pressure for a long time or your tracking and/or tyre balancing is out. Both of those issues should be able to be rectified at somewhere like Discount tire...
You mention several times that replacing tires is the ONLY maintenance you need on a Tesla...I'd check your brakes pretty soon if I were you! Thanks for the videos...always fun and well made.
you have regen brakes on teslas
@@hberra361 you have reg brakes as well sir
@@d.pollard5962 correct but you still use your brakes from time to time. Just looking through the wheel to see the pads take seconds to check them
Great point!
I'm an servive technician intern so i've seen a lot of model S's come through and wow those tires should've been replaced earlier that's dangerous so im glad you did. Otherwise great video!
45 psi is standard on model 3. Check your door panel for more tire info. 41-42 is a tad low I think
Congrats on the new tires Dan!
Per the Tesla website: Note: Vehicle orders placed on or after April 28, 2022 will not include a Mobile Connector with delivery. Mobile Connector orders with both NEMA 5-15 Adapter and NEMA 14-50 Adapter will begin shipping in August 2022.
I'm pretty sure you have to do alignment on your Tesla as well which is why you have uneven wear. 36K miles isn't very much for them to be completely balled unless they are high performance summer tires vs. all seasons. You also have to do brake pads though these do last longer on a Tesla because of the regen braking then a gas only car and may be comparable to a hybrid.
No, Dan is actually a Tesla Expert so do NOT say anything against him
Agree about the charging cable. I'm rare as I live in a caravan on a site so I use the cable every night and bought the 16A adapter they sell for it but not many people live in a caravan or even want to.
The mobile charger is actually great and I've been using the Gen 1 mobile connector (post 2017 version) for years, everyday without fail. It's unfortunate they discontinued including the mobile connector, but dropping it to $200, at least it won't hurt as much.
In the netherlands, the tesla gen 3 wall connector is 550$ and need a licensed elecrtician to come and install it.
With all the work required to route the cables and possibly change fuse box it would easily be over 1K.
What's another car company you like? (Not Tesla)
It's gonna be LG
For me it’s bmw
TCL and Binatone
Chevrolet
@@fredkofi75 I smell a fellow Ghanaian around here at long last. Akwaaba Nana 🇬🇭🇬🇭
There are definitely other things that need maintaining on a Tesla to remain safe and not ONLY the tyres! Also is the wall charger anything more than the charging cable with an inbuilt hook?
Good thing about Dan he never says bad words in his videos
You should do an alignment to prevent the uneven tire wear
Well if he runs these ones down just as much the full Tire will get used anyway just the one side will be down to the mettle 😂
He used it for 30k plus miles. Tire alignment ain’t needed in his case. Tesla tires wear out faster due to the torque. I have never gotten an alignment unless my steering wheel wasn’t straight or I feel it pulling to one side more. Waste of money on repeated alignments.
The wheel alignment should have been recalibrated after installing fresh tyres anyway
Rotating tires helps extend the life of your tires alot
A way to tell how your tires are bald is by running your fingers through each of the three trends. If the tire is not bald you should feel a bumb when running your fingers. If you cannot feel a bumb you need to change your tires
They don’t sell the inflator on the Tesla website. I purchased one after a flat tire. Worked for a couple of times and then failed. Tesla refunded the cost and said they would no longer sell them. I also have the Apex unit and love it, Great video.
The tread being worn away in the center indicates your tires were over pressured
I do 90+% of my charging with my "portable" charging cable. With the Model 3 SR+, all I needed to install was a NEMA 14-50 outlet, and I can charge to daily working mileage in about an hour (220v, 30a gets me 33mi/hr charging speed). Cost was ~$200 for the install. The smaller, lighter model 3 SR+ takes a lot fewer watt hours to fill its battery after daily driving.
You can go to Walmart and get the same thing for only $15 🤣 it does come handy having a battery air compressor though
Most states have safety inspections required yearly which should check tire tread wear. Besides, you just have to look.
Been using the Tesla mobile charger at home as my main charger since Sept 2019. It is my main charger and works well for me. At 52 km/hr, I've never needed faster for my M3 SR+. I've ordered a MYP and never offered the option to buy a charger (I see that now it's an option). All I can say is that it better come with a portable charger because I'm sure the new owner of my M3 SR+ will want the mobile charger it came with.
Now you have new tires. You need to do tires rotation every 5,000
Do you really think this guy does any hands on maintenance on his cars? He just waits till it breaks and pays someone to fix it.
suggestion on the tires is make sure your doing a tire rotation every like 7K miles will make those tires last much longer Just a thought.
check wheel alignment ????????
Totally agree with u on the charger
Not sure how the purchase journey goes but I think if the lack of a charging cable was framed a certain way not so many people would get upset. Maybe they could include an adapter like the one talked about earlier.
Really enjoyed that car wash montage Dan 👌
I used to use the included charger all the time, plus it's a great safety net. It's dumb to not include it.
When you said you took your Tesla to discount tire and they said they couldn’t work on it because of the sound dampening foam, we’re you trying to get the tire repaired or replaced?
Are you getting new wheels?
Because you said you’re getting them to “change all four wheels”
You do know the difference between a wheel and a tire don’t you?
7:27
“How often are your wheels totally empty”
They are called Tires. Not Wheels.
Classic ‘Dan Dan the Simple man’
Apparently he has no idea what the difference is between a tire and a wheel
He also said PSIsss
@@paulharsh78 haha yeah that annoyed me too.
Literally the only maintenance thing to do on a EV? What about brakes and wheel-bearings? They are also things you need to maintain just not as often? Air filters? Shocks and springs needs replacing at some point as well.
brakes don't get used "as much" due to regenerative braking
@@coreysuffield So you are saying EV's use the same amount of brakes as I do in my dinosaur powered car since I use engine braking all the time. Only times I use the brake pedal is emergency or full stop.
Do not forget that it is included with ordered b4 April
Hey Dan, I'm from Kenya and I love your vids!
"You can fill up 6 tires!" - Battery level at 50% after filling just one. :)
Bought an extra one to have in my garage and kept the original one in the car. I have never used the one that came with the car. Also other companies didn't include them and no one made a ridiculous uproar.
I use my charger for my car at a few camp grounds, not staying what type of car I have, but that just makes since right? I also live in an older apartment complex they don't care putting in chargers.🤔
I winter in Florida and have to use a 110 plug so I use the charging cable all the time while I am there.
I have the cable, and will buy one with next Tesla. Have the wall charger too. Charge my two cars with the wall everyday. Great tips today
Owning a Tesla without a charger in Kenya where we aren't that developed seems like a bad idea.actually there are no superchargers here and we mostly charge the vehicles from our homes...thus taking away the charger would disadvantage people from not so developed places..
If you’re worried about $200 when purchases a $60,000 car I would look at getting a cheaper car
@@Dan_the_car_man The thing is, its not about money. People feel like they should get everything ready from the get go LIKE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS WITH ALL GADGETS and TECHNOLOGY. if they want to do this then let them drop the price of the car an equal amount, I am sure this won't happen and we will see more price increases.
Bought the X8, thanks for the tip! I had not heard of this tire inflator. 👍🏻
Awesome! Thank you Marc!
@@WHATSINSIDEFAMILY Got it today, can’t beat that!
But they won’t lower the cost of the car for the customer after removing the cable. So essentially they’re getting the same money for less cost and then if you want the charger they basically get 200 bucks for free for something they used to give for the original cost.
How about the time taken to charge using the charger?
Also try to rotate the tires every 10k miles to prolong the tire life
Anyway, just forget the portable charger unless you're really use it for road trip to remote places and okay to spend a day or two to charge at 110c
My parents in law live at the country, not any chargers in the area, so it is great, to be able to use the mobile charger and still be able to drive around. If I didn’t have the mobile charger, I would have to keep the car parked all weekend, to have enough electricity to get back to the nearest supercharger.
Good proper way to maintain tire life is balance and rotation every 5k miles. keep the life of the tire last longer for sure. Some manufacturer want the vehicle to come in at 15k-20k miles and do a alignment, which that is fine. You just maintaining the front end and making sure its tracking right down the road. When I going to replace tires, I will get an alignment done, just to make sure everything is all good and don't have uneven wear on the new tires. I can get close to 60k+ miles on a set of tires by doing just that.
I’ll take one of the extras you have lol. We had a 240v in the house and just went that route. An extra in the car wouldn’t hurt.
I love ninja wive at 6:45 🤣😂
Love your vids🙂
You guys should get a 2021 Tesla model 3.
It's just the principle when you buy any electric item whether it be electric clippers cell phone speakers television they all come with power cords or charging cords so it should already be factored into the price of the vehicle. The wall mount obviously works better that's why it's sold separately.
Oh but elons really running low on cash
@@wyattseim he shouldn't have bought Twitter he should have just made his own version
What about when you want to charge at home off your solar panels ? Trickle charging off the standard cable is better to manage the power load (depending on your total solar) and power usage in your house. When you have a number of things you are using at the same time. No doubt after your solar vid you would have to manage this carefully when you have air conditioning, pool pump and car charger at the same time.
Is that a refreshed model X in the garage??
I just bought a model 3 for 50,000 dollars. The least they could do is throw in the cable which they probably make for 20 dollars.
We need the changer because in some countries there are no tesla changing stations so if you want to do that then make changing stations in those countries
When my mom bought her BMW i3 in late 2019, it came with a mobile charger (J1772 with a 110V plug that is not removable) AND a wall charger with the installation included (i'm not sure if it is standard or if it was a promotion). She has only used the mobile charger 3 times. The first time was after delivery before the wall charger was installed, 2nd was at a hotel that doesn't have any charger and the 3rd was at a rural property to spend the weekend. Of course, the i3 is not meant to be taken on road trips and that hotel is around 80 km (50 mi) from our home.
I think that Tesla should not remove the charger just like that but instead offer either a) 200/400 dollars off the cost of the car b) a discount on the wall charger or c) include a simple "emergency"/temporary 110V only charger.
Now, if Tesla is removing the mobile charger because they are eating the cost of it, then they should include it by default (pump the price up and say that this is why) and offer the different options I mentioned above. This is the only valid reason to remove it.
Another possible option is lending the charger, get it for some time when you receive the car until you install the charger.
I guess no tire rotation was done to balance out the wear & tear
“Its just the wheels” 😂
You also need to change the oil
Dan - you need an alignment
What’s inside of a tire without opening up the tire nice !
That's exactly how my tire looks right now.
I bought the exact same tires without the noise dampening. No noticeable difference. Save $100 per tire.
I luv ur vids Dan!!!
We have a test one in the wall charger is the best
Wheels are the metal rings in the middle and tires are the rubber part on the outside. "Metal coming out of the wheel" (1:07) It's not too confusing, is it? 😂
in Australia there isn't that much electric car infrastructure, in my entire state(victoria) for 7 million people there are only 7 tesla superchargers and 10 tesla Destination chargers compared to Virginia which has 56 tesla superchargers at the moment has a similar population so in my country there is an argument to be made. that is my opinion.
btw love your channel.
💌
Dan 41 psi becomes like 45 psi to 46 psi on a hot day. Bring them down to 35 all year round. Will save your tires.
It’s PSI (PoundS per square inch) NOT “PSIs”
Hey What Lucid Air are you all getting? Are you getting one?
I use mine everyday. The $400 wall charger isn’t worth it to me. 🤷🏻♂️
haha the pic of zack when u said bold
Great job
1:05 = racing slicks
My concern is what about those countries that don't have charger station like here at the Philippines there is no charging station.
The wall charger is way better because its faster, a mobile charger is conector trough a wall conector wich cause a lower current limit
thats why
Would have been quicker if you used Car Mode vs Bicycle mode to fill up.
I really want you guys to get a Gray 2020 Tesla model 3 I want the color to be like your Old gray Tesla model X P100D 2019.
Looks like uneven wear as well... never rotated them? Is rotating still a thing? I do it.
We call those tires "May Pop" tires OR "Paul Barrows on Wheels"
it’s not abt spending an extra 200 on an expensive car. it’s the fact that they r now deciding too charge us for something that used to be free, like they don’t already make enough money.
