“ one of the easier vehicles “ my man looks like he stayed up for 2 days straight working on the Tesla
Notice the plates.
Political pandering
"That's what I like to hear."
That's funny
Lmao dude is not being honest
That Tesla ruined him for sure.
🤣
"Anybody with common sense could tear one of these apart" But could they put it back together?
Thats the key question!.. hell, anyone with a 10m and 12m can take a honda apart. But putting it back correctly is the key!
Now a days people don't have common sense.
@@Chiludo7 lmkk
if you first make sense of what you are tearing down yes... dont take things apart with really finalizing details
@@stephenhume3494 easier said than done. Mechanic work takes experience to be able to remember where said bolts came from. Also knowing proper torque specs for said locations of bolts. Its very easy for someone to take something apart and cross thread each and everybolt on its way back together
Easiest oil change I ever did!
😳🤣
😂
Tesla can actually have oil changes .💯💯🤷🏽♂️😉 the more you know
Bro hasn’t slept in 15 years
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Someone give him a cup of coffee
For real, let my man catch a nap
Lmaoooo
"Well i had been working on this car for 15 years so far "
Lol, the fact that you asked him this while he worked on the first generation Tesla Roadster (which was built on a Lotus Elise chassis) is hilarious.
So many of the parts he said were “easy to work on” were designed by Lotus, not including the electronic parts.
Actually, the lotus chassis had to be completely redesigned because it was not designed with electric motors or the weight of a massive battery pack in mind. The engineers at Tesla regretted using the lotus body, because it turned out to be more work to modify than building their own from scratch. There are few moving parts on an electric car. This mechanic is not lying.
Ah yes, because the rarest tesla ever is the only one he's ever worked on..
@@sebione3576 good luck buying parts 😂
@@T2roxT2 there is one specialist in the usa for the first gen
I’m sure that’s not the only car he’s worked on in the past 14 years lol
Hell, it even tears itself apart most of the time
That’s why verified owners are getting 300,000+ miles out of them without any major repairs including batteries. Sure there are some small problems but overall they are reliable as hell according to verified owners.
Only bad thing I heard about Tesla is crooked panels and factory scratches
While I disagree with this comment, it did make me laugh. I approve 👍
@@twangyyy18888 if I'm paying a fortune for a car it better come from the factory in pristine order inside and out.
@@colerogers3137 the elon dickeating is crazy
Musk yells cut let’s break for lunch and back in 30
Lol
He missed a golden opportunity to say it's my first day
This shop is wayyyyyy too clean. A little sus, also my clothes get dirty just looking at anything I'm working on. 🙃
i was thinking the same, maybe just maybe it’s a shop for only teslas which would explain the lack of oils and grease stains etc
A decent shop should be clean...
@@tomg1066 but there's no wear marks on anything there's no scratches on the floor the lifts have no use marks
@@bret2870 You work with tools, but you don’t need to be a complete spanner.
You simply ‘work professionally & carefully’. Have you seen Bugatti’s be assembled? They’re completely dust free room’s, with the vehicles being built under a vacuum. Just because you ain’t clean, doesn’t mean everyone else can’t be.
@@TheFakeNewsFrog I've been a professional mechanic for 16 years straight I've worked in brand new shops and literally there's marks on everything and very short time not from abuse but from use
I feel like he’s being sarcastic lmaoo
Cool cars, but if I can’t get the software and the parts to repair it. Then I don’t want it.
You can buy parts at Tesla Service centers. Software come to you OTA. Repair software well.... nobody else is making that public either. And without the ICE the diagnostics is much simpler. What more do you want.
He had that "stfu about your Tesla and let me do my job" face.
Let's not talk about the potential of being electrocuted. Or when the battery decides to identify as a Roman candle witch has been known to happen on quite a few occasions.
What about the risk of catching fire while working on gas cars?
@@user-vf1mz1qc9v gas doesn't spontaneously combust unlike batteries witch are known for it and gas fires aren't nearly as brutal as batteries. With gas you get the initial flash if the vapors are aloud to build up witch only lasts for like half a second after that you just have an open flame that will burn at around 500 degrees and is very easy to put out or at least contain its also impossible for liquid gasoline to burn I've caught gas tanks and cans of fire plenty of times and they'll literally burn like candles. A lithium ion battery burns at about 6000 degrees they literally melt the roads underneath them when they do and they burn for hours because a chain reaction happens when the cells rupture its like the world's best Roman candle when they go off.
Anyone can tear something apart.
It’s putting it back together that counts.
It's not hard
He forgot to mention "and who gets permission from Tesla to fix their own car"
This is not a Tesla issue. Not even an EV issue. Not even an automotive issue as John Deere tractor owners are facing it.
June 4 2022 New York State passed the first automotive right to repair. I assume this includes Tesla.
I believe him from the fact that he’s only holding a pliers in his hand
"Anyone with common sense could tear one of these things apart."
My dumbass accidentally exploding my whole neighborhood.
How do you explode the neighborhood?
Anyone with common sense could tear one of these things apart.
But anyone with common sense would never purchase one....
Been a mechanic 15 years, haven't slept in 16 years.
How about getting parts or support from Tesla ...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good Luck!
You can get parts at: www.autopartspro.co.uk/tesla-carparts And manuals at:service.tesla.com/service-subscription
@@user-vf1mz1qc9v tesla won't sell parts to anyone thats not a tesla certified shop (some of this Is because of Roman mode) if you actually looked at that website you would've clearly seen that
You cannot get parts for it. They will not give you help. Directions or any information that may help you to put it back together or repair it
@@user-vf1mz1qc9v I see service subscription in the URL if I have to buy a fucking subscription to have any work for my car done, Tesla can get fucked.
@@user-vf1mz1qc9v cool beans, “Rich Rebuilds” tried and gave up. He put a Hemi in it!
Also I don’t like the fact u charge it off of coal, and unregulated non- environmental child mining in Congo and Bolivia for Lithium, Colbalt and nickel. Those mines owned by China competitors. Not to mention transportation of tons raw materials on diesel tanker ships across vast distances.🤔
I believe the best way to fight all these problems are to use what we have or buy and fix/recycle it, and build and buy local. Goal is to use a vehicle as much as possible to keep it out of land fields and be efficient about it. Let’s start there 😁
Work on bicycles is even easier…. Unless u wanna buy an overpriced goof cart with batteries that are not recyclables, and cost a fortune to replace, and all the pollution that generates the mining of lithium
Still wearing bell bottom pants I see.
not as much pollution from gas powered cars.
Dude looks like he needs some sleep!
Those bags under his eyes solidify his statement on how long he's been working on cars.
Fumes from working around ICE cars will do that.
That's how I feel about jeeps too, I call them Lego cars because they are so easy to take apart. But I do wraps so I am talking about taking things off it like handles, lights, bumpers, doors shit like that is extra easy to take apart on Jeep's.
As a mopar mechanic lemme tell ya wranglers are surprisingly not as easy to work on as everyone thinks imo the ram trucks and 300/charger/ challenger platforms are the easiest. They still aren't too bad tho. Fuck anything fiat designed tho it's a cluster fuck
@@NOLIFENECKBEARD god. i started in a honda dealership, i think i set myself up for failure getting to landmark dodge because jesus fiat is a bitch
Any one with common sense can work on any car
Given the right tools and the willingness to learn to use them.
That’s what happen when you fix a Tesla…Look at my man here he needs to sleep cause he was read all the manual for 2 years to learn how to fix this Tesla model 😂😂
Bro first thought was he worked on cars way too much and needs to fkn sleep 🤣
If it takes 2 years to learn to fix a tesla it takes 100 to learn to fix ICE cars.
dont tell the customer that when they see the big bill lol
Like you said somebody that has common sense and that's very rare nowadays.
Homie looked scared af😂
I saw a video where some guy bought an S model dirt cheap because the door locks didn't work and something else. He went to radio shack back then and got the parts he needed (said he didn't even know electronics well) and voila...brand new (used) S!
That's bullshit man, unless he personally scammed the owner.
@@vaseabmwe39 I swear it's on here somewhere.
Less moving parts less maintenance great car I have ever owned
Just don't be in a slight accident where the battery gets damaged. Since they currently cost about $26,000 to replace, insurance companies will total the car. And that's of course, if they continue to insure them.
Now ask him about the build quality 😂
Bro hits the blunt everyday after work ..
You cut him off when he was about to mention the electronics part
Exactly
If you look closely fellas hes changing the blinker fluid🤣☠️
The guy doesn't look like he could make a cup of water 😂
Last time I checked the suspension parts were the same as any other car it's just battery driven
It's good that it's so easy to work on these, because as new as these vehicles are the amount of videos covering major repairs with these vehicles is insane. They're going to be in the shop a lot.
Not a fair statement though. You don’t make a TH-cam video every time your Prius breaks down because nobody cares.
If it was for little trinkets it would be one thing but these are major structural, electrical repairs being done on relatively new vehicles
@@Joe6packAmerican I will give you that. I have a first gen Ford Focus electric. Dealer says needs new battery because terminals are corroded. I am going to take it apart myself and see if I can clean them up and fix the coolant leak so that it doesn’t happen again. $17,000 for new battery. Or 20 hours labor. Other than that I love the feel of the car. The weight in the corners feels awesome. I’d like the battery a little further forward but that’s it. Drives pretty nice otherwise.
It's too bad we are real short on common sense nowadays.
Dude looks like he’s coming down from a 5 day meth binge
Thanks for letting me know, when gas cars are not allowed in the next years and I get a Tesla, I won't have to go to the mechanic ever again. Mechanics will probably go bankrupt if everybody does it though.
As did the people repairing buggies and wagons.
"What makes it easy to work on?"
"Its relatively easy to work on."
All the Tesla hater never been in a Tesla . I used to be one now I have two 😂
No shit, I heard they used 50 different types of fasteners to put these together, and once the battery is done you throw it away
Once the battery is done in your gas vehicle, do you also toss it away?
@@nintee9877 yeah, but I can go get a really good new battery for like $250 tops that’ll last 5-7 years. How much is a Tesla ied, I mean battery? 🤣
@@cuckleberryfinn4618 welp it’ll probably average out to alot less than a new motor for a car. Considering the electric motor is less than the battery.
But you throw something out because it doesn’t work anymore. Is extremely immature and privileged as hell.
Your money though. I could give a flying fuck
@@cuckleberryfinn4618 But you still throw away the old battery…
@@cuckleberryfinn4618 A Telsa Battery last minimum 300k miles and 15 years, they haven’t been out that long to see that happen. Just stick to gas cars and move on, people like you complain on shit you don’t even own 😂
Bruno Fernandes decided to be a mechanic
That frame looks like a fucking gokart built in somebody's barn back in 1965
I'm missing something... Why is the top body panel removed to do what he's doing? And where is the shock absorber/spring for that wheel?
K, well that’s basically a Lotus Elise so…
I would definitely believe it's easier since there are a lot less moving parts. With that being said maintenance and repairs should be cheaper but is that what's happening?
Easy to work on Tesla? So why is Tesla charging more for labor than other places? Tesla needs to reduce labor costs when their cars can more easily be worked on by people.
Because its a "premium" brand. Mercedes also charges stupid prices.
I worked at Tesla factory as mechanic. I can confirm Tesla is easy to work on compare to other vehicles.
yea if you can afford the battery and the drivetrain.....
He’s not even greasy. That’s the best part about Teslas
My man doesn’t sleep. Look at those bags under his eyes. Looks like a cartoon character.
Lol say this is a tesla commercial without telling me this is a tesla commercial.
I thought he was gonna ask the camera guy... Are you a size 14?.🤣
He sounds legit not a loud mouth pompous service advisor wrenched on cars for 25 years I believe this guy
That’s because they are designed to be easier to work on because time is money in a shop, and getting people out the door faster provides a good customer experience. The reliability should be a top priority too. Which also gives a better customer experience.
Lol.... hitting the Kool-Aid a little hard
@@annoyedok321 Drinking Tesla kool-Aid? I wouldn’t buy a Tesla with your Money.
Honda has left the chat
Well his hands & clothes should tell you that it's not a messy or hard job!
EVs are a LOT less greasy than ICE cars.
He looks like he's been working on cars for 15 years, poor guy
He looked like he never slept in those 15 years…
He got those squidward: does this look unsure to you?
Bags under his eyes
So it took him 15 years to learn common sense, I would say he is doing better than most of society.
What kinda Tesla is that?? Never seen those tail lights before
Taking it apart is not the problem it's putting it back together plus the cost of fixing it was not mentioned also.
So why does it cost so damn much to fix it??
First day in auto lab yesterday, watching a video on the four strokes and I’m like, “what is all this archaic isht?!”
I don't trust taking my vehicle here! The shop is oddly clean and I don't like it!
This is why the legacy auto manufacturers are SCREWED. They dont really make profit off selling cars, they make profit off spare parts and financing. Since EVs are so simple, maintenance costs are minimal. So the spare parts racket will disappear.
Yeah, they may be easy to work on *IF* you can get the parts
And that rear suspension looks like some shit off a kids go-kart.
I loved the fact that I couldn’t hear what he mumbled back to you
I didn't have any trouble understanding him. Dirty ears?
Wow that shop looks cleaner than my kitchen
15 years and he’s only 16 in the video that’s wild
No pay raise for him. He said himself anyone can do it!
Any mechanically inclined person can work on steering/suspension, chassis, drivetrain components etc….true…but rarely anyone could work on the brains of these new electric vehicles.
How about putting them together?
You never asked me that 😂
To a large degree something that is easy to take apart is easy and logic to put back together. The expectation is where you pull one bolt and the car disintegrates.
Anyone can tear a car apart, see Sawzall, it's the putting back together that separates the hacks.
Why why the oil changer? A bit confused are you?
Anybody can take anything apart BUT CAN THEY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.
Guy looks like he hasn't slept in 15 years
When your mechanic says you don't have have common sense
Any mechanic will know that the easiest part about working on a close to new car is exactly that. They don’t need a torch to take off anything and at that point it’s just remove worn parts and replace with new.
Any drunk driver can tear one apart in a split second...
So what you're saying is a 15 to 20,000 lb lithium bomb is one of the easiest things to work huh?🤔🤨
Chemical fires ain't no joke 😐
Guy looks like he hasn't slept for 15 years
Man's talking about how easy it is to work on a Tesla while draining the engine oil.
Brian rode the short bus.
He worked on cars for 15 years the last 6 months
He's either lying or suffering from sleep deprivation.
Elon and his crew like to think inside the box since it's always over complicated outside the box.
Well that’s untill an electric wire decides to burn up now you have a big issue
Thats why fuses and diagnostics exist
@@user-vf1mz1qc9v I mean like-.. at a random spot- that a fuse wouldn’t catch. It’s happened and can throw up many issues and codes from one little wire
Those roadsters were a disaster and almost cost Elon everything.
Every mechanic here says the build quality is trash lol
From the look of his face , he has definitely seen some shit in his 15 years of automotive work
So you’re saying that Elon’s first physics principal are accurate
Been doing mechanic work off and on for 15 years now, and I can say with all honesty, ANY AND ALL SUSPENSION FROM A MODEL A TO A CATERPILLAR DUMP TRUCK IS SIMPLE. The hardest part about replacing my shocks and struts in my 03 Sante Fe was holding the damn things up since I did the job myself.
Wait til you have to service the 32 amp side of things, and tell me it's simple. 1 amp is more than enough to kill you. 32 you'll be a corpse before you feel a thing or even twitch.
That voice don't lie
On god
