Hey Scotty, press on the gas, I mean the electric, LOL. 😆🤣😂
I really wonder how many miles this thing can go
For the like of vehicle
Scotty, I have a black 2005 Jeep Cherokee 2.8 crd limited manual 6 speed transmission with 100,000 miles. Whenever I start the car it cranks for so long and sounds like it turns over. Sometimes I start it and nothing happens at all then I turn the key again and it cranks and starts. I had the starter motor replaced what do you think is the problem.

The kinetic energy from Scotty's hand movements would fully charge that car in about 10 mins!
Lmao
Scotty's hands - superchargers.
😂😂💀
A laugh I needed. Thanks
LOLL
It's a hot day, good thing Scotty is around to fan us with his hands
When it is really hot outside I use to call the police and ask them to shadow me 😁
Best 1 ever!
Hahahaha
Thats where that gust cam from.
😂
It's strange to see other humans in Scotty's videos. I forget often that he's not in some post apocalyptic world.
Lol
I thought that was just me 🤣
The EPA and the E.S.G. reports forces them into bankruptcy you got it twisted.
The E.S.G. reports are designed to destroy car companies in America destroy schools in America and bolster the hospitals to drain you of every dime. The E.S.G. reports are modern day Chinese social credit system, it’s not a free market economy in America if you get a negative E.S.G. Report. . If you don’t have (critical race theory) C.R.T. in your high school you will get a negative E.S.G. report an overwhelming pressure to the teachers union in the town to comply. If you’re trying to make an item that does not allow everybody to share it in the META-verse, your gonna be shut down eventually by “them”. You can’t have a car that won’t connect to the meta-verse not a personal item like a watch or even a jacket everything must be shared and connect to the meta-verse.
LOL
If the Post Apocalyptic World exists, I want Scotty to be my Wingman Mechanic for sure 👍
Also imagine Scotty with a 12 gauge shotgun Incase of a Zombie Apocalypse?
Lmao 🤣 man I hope Scotty lives a long life. We need him.
He is a national treasure
Me too 👑
I agree
He definitely has a unique personality and he seems like a straight up dude
He truly is a treasure agreed! He's one I'd love to meet
Rev up your engines ....
(dead silent for 5 seconds)
*Keep us updated on your Tesla Scotty
I don’t think it’s his. It’s some woman
@@MK-ib4dp probably it's for his wife so technically it's his
@@Isuckatgames pretty sure he isn't talking about his wife in this video.
@@Isuckatgames his wife would not put aftermarket rims on her car lol

Most people don't know this about Scotty but hes a world class musician and one of the finest orchestra conductors on the planet.
What
😅🤣😂
😁😁😁
Ok this guy is an official badass
Prove it
Of all of TH-cam, Scotty is the only man whose advice I take seriously when it comes to Cars. Having owned all types including German, Japanese, American etc. What he says is the truth.
Yeah except he expresses an incredibly evident and unbased bias against EVs.
Sure, EVs are kinda doo doo some times. But at least give them credit where they deserve it.
Scotty is secretly recommending we travel on horseback, hence the occasional picture of a horse. On top of that, this happens when Scotty displays signs of happiness. He’s showing us that horseback will make us happy. Horses don’t require us to pay for a recharge because it’s free! Thank you so much Scotty for subtly suggesting we use horses. It’s changed my life.
You need to feed them tho. 💀
I think you won't be reving up the engine on that thing
"APPLY FIRM INPUT TO YOUR THROTTLE CONTROLLERS!"
Hit that go pedal.
Funny as always....DVD:)
Scotty’s tagline will be retired in a decade! Youngsters won’t know what reving up engines means
@@2jukojohn True that! hope to find someone to help me with my 502 ran jst in a 79 Volare...it is in there but exhaust is an issue. peace be with you DVD:)
"REV UP YOUR... right, it's a Tesla. Never mind."
Technically actually “revs” higher than an ice. 🤔
Keep Reving up your Engine if you can beat the Tesla 0-60
You cant rev up a BEV, it would shoot off and crash!
REV UP YOUR MOTORS!!!
Now its changed to “Charge up you battery” 😂😂
Always love your videos Scotty and your objectivity and factual analysis. Watched 2 of your subscribers who bought a Lexus u recommended the other day and they were absolutely floored and happy to follow through with ur advice. Have an awesome day and stay safe!
Replacement of combustion cars with plug-in-electric cars is NOT viable. Electric cars MUST be COBE (Charge On Board Electric) cars, that only exist as experimental. Plug-ins won't work. Why? you ask. Think about if for a while. I'll give you a hint: I live in a complex of 300 units. There are about 400 cars parking in this complex. At-large parking. No garages. A few paid-parking car ports. We don't have air conditioning because the complex grid can't handle it. Beginning to get the picture? FYI I've seen only one Tesla parked here ... a visitor... not a resident.
Musk should FORGET about ROCKET SHIPS TO NOWHERE and start developing a COBE car. CHARGE ON BOARD ELECTRIC!!!
@@MikeHottVOD fully agreed. Even funnier where I live is they're given "green car" plates and their owners get all kinds of rebates. Problem is they probably get their electricity from a coal power plant or a nuclear power plant that has as much impact on the environment as a petrol fueled car if not more. So as far as being green they're as green as ur US dollar bill. Go figure
31:13 My Ford Fusion Hybrid has 150k miles on it and has never had replacement brake pads. What's more, they still look good! I LOVE regen braking for that reason more than any other! They should put it as a feature on ALL cars simply to reduce wear on the brakes.
This is THE vehicle that could really benefit from having a HUD on the windshield.
Absolutely. I think a minimal HUD with speedometer and navigation would make a great addition. According to Elon, they don't think HUDs are necessary and are redundant.
I think they said they won’t make it cuz there’s simply no need for it.
@@MattGarcyaDC You have to look at the center console to know how fast you are going.
Really weird it does not have a Hologram HUD, this is the perfect use case.
@@qua7771 just like my 2007 mini cooper s. I'll tell you, its a STUPID system.
“Looks like I’m looking at someone’s kitchen counter!” 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Aftermarket has taken care of that if you don't like the look.
….I didn’t see any tuna fish can or a fork…
Scotty is a different generation he didn’t grow up around computers
The funny thing that is exactly what I said when I got into my friends Model 3. It feels like you're sitting on some bench on front of a kitchen counter.
Scotty is so entertaining 👍
It's like he's reviewing cars after been on an old day bender.. the only guy that makes perfect sense whilst sounding absolutely smashed 😄lol
Nice to meet you
Scotty, live LARGE! You CERTAINLY deserve it, for all your kind, and thoughtful generosity of knowledge, to all of us out here, with our many questions!!! I do hope that Tennessee suits you well!!
What you think of Tesla?
Scotty: Toyota.
So Toyota?
Celica!
I'll give Scotty 30 days to reconsider or he can buy mine. 😬
@@dimab8753 1994
Sounds like me too
When a guy that fixes cars for living and think a car that he can't be fixing is fun and worth driving you know this dude doesn't lie at all and you can trust him with your cars
He makes a living making videos and promoting sales of products.
Thats kind of a misnomer, however. The Tesla's require just as much maintenance as any other car sans the engine. The suspension, steering system, and etc all require just as much maintenance, and the electronics maintenance is going to be a nightmare on these things in 15 years. Just like old CNC machines, I'd wager the electronics and the 10 year battery life will make the Tesla's a real life disposable car.
@@smh9902 all engine and transmission related expenses are gone.
A motor moves, wheels move, suspension moves, ac fans moves, brakes move. All moving parts will need maintenance and batteries degrade over time.
Electronics won't really go bad under normal or good conditions, for a long time. Heat & humidity will wear on electronics.
Programming bugs may exist, but for the most part maintenance is heavily reduced. Fixing software & firmware issues is easy labor & and there is much less to deal with when working on it.
@@Jayremy89 Every 15 year old car shows that wiring starts to break down past this point and suffer from various glitches, shorts, and etc. Engine's are on the cusp of making huge leaps in technology. For example, liquidpiston and eternal engines have a rotary and piston design respectively that each only have 2 moving parts and maintenance is just as null as an electric motor. Transmissions, especially manual transmissions, are basically maintenance free other than swapping a clutch, which can be designed to be almost as simple as changing a lightbulb.
You ever drive one? Everyone who has says the same thing Scotty did.
I drove a model 3 once. All I can say is wow amazing car.
Scotty you got me helping my family when something is wrong with there car I appreciate the wisdom 🐐
"I Finally Got a Tesla and Here's What I Really Think of It"
It's not a $300 Celica!
-Scott
lol 😂
Try going on vacation driving a Tesla not a good idea. If you get a flat you cannot change a flat batteries are underneath. Overpriced let the liberal whacko in California buy it
Can they make an electric Celica Scotty edition.
@@lm8443 wow you're right! now if only the model 3 wasn't the 16th best selling car last year
@@a-don13 Not sure what your point is. 16th best selling isn’t good lmao
Scotty looks at dash 〰️ it's like looking at a kitchen counter 😂😂 couldn't stop
I received a chuckle about that myself 😂
Would you look at that! Just look at that I mean just look at that with you! Just look at it look at it I say look at it!
And it looks like someone's been preparing dinner on the screen.
😂😂😂
Great review. I bought a Tesla M3P for the performance. The technology, efficiency, and overall practicality are all bonuses.
I love your enthusiasm and presentation.
In Australia, UK and most of Europe we have 240volts including 3 phase in some homes and businesses. So home charging is really easy. Keep making these very enjoyable videos
You mean 230V nominal (+10/-6%) in Europe. In the U.S., residential power is typically transmitted along two 120V circuits (usually with a shared neutral) that are 180 degrees out of phase, meaning you can use them as a single 240V circuit, or break them out into two separate 120V circuits. Thus 240V is readily available in most homes and is often used to run bigger appliances, such as electric stoves, driers, big pumps, etc. This is what Scotty is referring to when advising people to plug it into 240V instead of 120V.
@@azamatbagatov7161 And let''s not forget the power distributed to your house in Australia, UK, Europe, US is all AC measured RMS, while the 240 volt charging stations are converting it to DC.
@@BlisterBang Nope. Incorrect. The 240V stations do not change it to DC, they are AC only. A charger in the car converts the AC to DC. Only the Superchargers are DC and they are typically around 360V to 400V.

@@MikeHottVOD the electric power is a limited commodity where I live also and what we do have is generated by fossil fuels, coal and natural gas.
Seems like Scotty is becoming more knowledgeable on EV's than he was a few years back.
@Zack Smith Good thing I don't care about Tesla or I might be offended.
@Zack Smith I'm buying one for my wife to visit her Mother. It will just barely make it there and I'll get a weeks vacation waiting for it to recharge before she can drive home.............
next would be bitcoin :D
@@damijanapopotnik8081 Yeah they are. And where, as he mentioned, are you getting it serviced?
And think about this...even with the scam of 'subscription charges' for features you already paid for, Tesla STILL sells these things at a LOSS.
@Zack Smith it exposed Texas's politicians. Most gas stations were inoperable too because of the outage
4:12 - speed limit: 35. Scotty limit: 77.
In his defense, he's also holding a camera/phone.
Cause it feels like an ice car does at 35
Scotty has no limits.
In Texas it is lawful to exceed the posted speed limit where conditions permit.
FUN FACT Scotty... if a TESLA is ever out of charge on the side of the road.. there is a tow hitch on the front bumper.. you can have a friend pull you on the road for about 30min and the Re-gen brakes will charge up the battery fast enough to get you enough range to make it to a real charging station! Pretty cool.
It's been done but Tesla doesn't approve of it. The front tow eye is intended to allow a tow truck to pull the Tesla onto the flatbed for transport with all four wheels off the ground.
Scotty you’re too funny. God bless you brother. Your enthusiasm is amazing.
Idk how old Scotty is but I hope he lives much much longer.
The guy is a crazy genius.
@@thegoodshepherd684 Young and energetic.
I’m 21 and am a gear head who owns, a 86 Chevy c10. Scotty is like the virtual dad I never had, in the sense of having someone to go to for answers when something goes wrong mechanically haha
I have a fully restored 87 chevy silverado Lwb, I guess I could be step Dad then ... right!
That's sweet:)
I felt this. TH-cam has given me a couple dads as I was growing up 😂
Aye big ups to my mom though. She a real one.
Most dads don't know this stuff. But yeah, he seems like a personable dude.
It wouldn't hurt to ask Scotty to adopt you...
Scotty embracing the future love that torque and power on demand😁
I’ve always enjoyed your videos Scotty! Thank you sir!
If Scotty wore an Apple Watch, the Exercise and Move Rings would close quickly with those hand movements.
You "walked" 20000 steps.
Scotty: rev up your engine! (gets behind the wheel of an electric car)
I was thinking the same thing.
Well electric motors still rev they can get to something like 18000 or something like that.
Now step on the gas is funnier
In all fairness to Scotty, he said "rev up YOUR engines" not his
He should have started this one with "charge up your motors!"
Scotty, I so enjoyed this review! Your're fun to watch having fun!
Nice to meet you
I love this guy 😂😂 his energy is phenomenal
"I'm looking at someones kitchen counter ". I'm dead. 🤣🤣
with a large computer screen in the middle!
Very appropriate being that Teslas are like kitchen appliances. I mean, it’s not a bad thing. Toaster makes toast, refrigerator refrigerates. Car drives. It does it’s job, and it does it very well. But you don’t have any emotional feelings towards it. It’s a tool. That’s why it’s good to have an ICE in your fleet when you want to have fun. We have a Tesla Model S, and it’s the best thing. Fast, sporty, luxury, efficient, zero maintenance... ...but for some reason that old unreliable slow ICE is more fun. It’s bizarre! We had a Chevy Volt, and the same problem. It had no soul.
If you own that Tesla, after you get used to it, you'll be looking at YOUR kitchen counter. :D
When it's self driving make a sandwich on it. 🤣
@@UmmYeahOk nice observations. Life is not necessarily all about convenience and utility. It’s more emotionally fulfilling to have a trusted horse than a car.
Scotty happy about a Tesla? Anyone else feel like they’re in a parallel universe? 🤣
@Car Freaknatic Till you need a gas generator to recharge it.
@@harrisn3693 I remember the old guys in the office complaining about the new technology. They were dead wrong and the world has left them behind... just like it’s going leave your behind.
Notice how only those people rat on the car who have never driven it?
@@harrisn3693 or you pay attention to your gauges. You also seem to forget their are battery boxes from that can charge them up.
@@harrisn3693 Fortunately most homes that can afford these vehicles have power run to them!
I love watching this guy's videos, he's so animated. Kind of like he's Lewis Black's mellow brother who only talks about cars. One thing he didn't mention about electric cars...if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere and run out of power, and if you can get a tow truck to come out and give you tow, you can use the regen brakes in the car to put a charge back in the battery.
Interesting.. 🧐
And you are almost always closer to an electric outlet than a gas station.
Lofl.....good luck with that
@@hitekredneck109 With using a tow truck to charge an EV? It's been done...why is that funny?

Scotty in a Tesla: "now I step on the GAS"
Hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
In my Leaf I used to do that, and now in my Bolt I tend to rapidly accelerate from the green light. Why not, not like I am having to rev an engine. :D
@@jamesblack2719 in your experience which one do/did like more the leaf or bolt?
Now I step on the electricity...
@Modern Classic Collectables My daughter and I discussed it as she says "Step on the gas" and I like the "go fast pedal". We played with electricity idea but I had this image of someone pushing the accelerator, being shocked and unable to let go and going faster. So we dropped that word.
I love my Tesla M3. Round trip from SF Bay Area to Portland, OR and return = $34. And the range is longer than my bladder so I didn’t have to fully recharge it when I stopped.
I followed a Tesla model three from Chicago Illinois to Indianapolis Indiana and we were running an artist 80 mph most of the way there except for when we came upon left lane Jockies running the speed limit. That is a usable range for an Electric vehicle. I’ve also stayed with a Tesla from Denver Colorado to Colorado Springs running 80 to 90 mph all the way there. They are a great vehicle for the right situations.
I'll never ever consider an ev.
I literally just watched your video yesterday on why not to buy a Tesla lol
And if you watch that video you would realize that yes there are still many reasons not to buy a Tesla LOL
@Shaheen Jackson then it looks like Scotty's right on both points LOL
But they will turn into money pits after the warranty expires. They are computers on tires. Computers and electronics breaks all the time just like on Mercedes.
If you are thinking about wasting your money on one of these do some serious research on how badly engineered and unreliable these all flash no substance cars really are.
@Shaheen Jackson Money pits when they break. Parts are stupid expensive just like Hybrid cars.
I hate how all the information is on a stupid touchscreen tablet.
Why?🤷♂️. You don’t need it while the car is driving. Just watch Scotty on the big screen 📺
How to find the radio channels...takes more time on a screen...
@Trippy Bruh Agreed! I've been mulling over a Tesla for over four years now. But (and this is a BIG but), I can't bring myself to pull the trigger and buy one for this very reason. I hate hate HATE the tablet-glued-on-the-dash look, and absolutely can't stand the fact that there's no basic instrumentation in front of the driver. FAIL!
@@Appalling68 it's a bit weird for sure. U get used to it though. If that's literally the only thing holding u back u should just do it. Such great cars. We drive lots and the fuel savings makes our payment. But gas is expensive here.

It’s annoying can’t watch him
Id pay to see that
scotty I just find out about you channel a few weeks ago but dude.... you are the man... btw I boght from my niece a 2011 128 bmw... as you said that thing has so much plastic.. wish i could swap an 1990 engine in it... the good thing is not turbo... with only 88K miles here in the golden state CA.
We live on a short urban street. There are about 16 to 18 houses on the street. Two of those houses have driveways. Most of the houses have two cars. Drivers from a couple other streets also park here. It is always full and you don't park in the same place every time. Our electric service is fed with 2 gauge wire as are the rest of the houses on the street. The ampacity then is 115 amps. Even so there is no place to put a privately owned charger for EVs.

Kinda hard to "rev up your engine" if you're in a Tesla.
"Drain your batteries!!!"
@@wolfpackflt670 lol
On a 15a 120v circuit you could charge a 90kw battery from 20% to 80% in about 30hrs, the 150kw supercharger stations do it in about 20-30mins from my experience renting a Y for a week.
Love this video..your hilarious with so much info
"They do have electricity in Tennessee" LOL.
Thanks to the Tennessee Valley Authority and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They left lots of beautiful lakes to paddle in and red brick 'electric cathedrals' that house the generators as well.
refill a gas car , 5 minutes .recharge a electric car ,8 hours . goodbye .
Dont worry you will be driving one in the next few years and you will love all that electricity flowing though your $50000 car
@@boracay12 Convenience depends on the situation. If you drive 200 miles a day and return home, plug it in at night and it is fully charged for another 200 miles the next morning; so you don't spend even 5 minutes refueling. If you are on a road trip, not so convenient because you need to find a SuperCharger and spend nearly an hour. But that may be a good time to take a break and grab a meal.
Tennessee's only natural lake is Reelfoot, a former Mississippi oxbow. It is drying up last time I saw.
Scotty is getting so famous he now has a Security Detail 🤣
☠️☠️
Either that or picking up hitchhikers.
@@n9wox 🤣🤣🤣
Security detail for that Tesla.... 🤣🤣 He doesn't own it, he's just fixing it
Nice to meet you
Hey Scotty, New Flyer makes electric buses however, they can convert *ANY* vehicle to electric. They already do it on electric buses - that was about 5 years ago but I'n not sure if they produce smaller electric drive systems for cars like your Celica. Maybe you can give them a call. I worked for them as a contractor for a short while, while on lay-off from the shipyard.
Probably the only time Scotty will touch a Tesla. No maintenance required so Not good for Scotty. Great review. Keep the videos going.. long live Scotty
When I'm feeling nostalgic for my time in Sicily, Italy. I watch Scotty Kilmer, Sicilians talk just as much with their hands then with their mouth. They also yell everything as well.
Not even Italian. Yes, if you cut his arms off he would be a mute.
Did Golden Girls teach you nothing?!😂😂😂
is that why sicilian pizza is so handsy?
I'm glad you said it, brother !
Great objective, honest, observational video.
Wait until scotty realizes that his toyota's that last for 300k miles will be nothing compared to tesla's that run for over a million miles. Tesla's new batteries are crazy good.
@@ZupE891 it's an electric car...
@@hazardous5723 Which is better in every single category including reliability
@@jemdogg3012 how about repair lmao, also ofcourse it is, which has more parts? A normal car with an engine or an electric car?
@@jemdogg3012 they don’t sound cool though.
I don't own a Tesla but do own a hybrid, the sound you hear from the outside should be high voltage whining.
If there's a law requiring cars to make a sound, it would make it the easiest way to do it and on the plus side saves some money on production.
Always love your videos
"It still freaks me out when I look straight ahead, it looks like I'm looking at somebody's kitchen counter" 😂
Lol , no kiddintg! Not a fan of that design at all.
Absolutely right …
Scotty said that not me 😂
@@Neanderthal75 exactly it’s ugly the model s has the best design all around
lol yes. i don’t think i could ever drive a car where the odometer isn’t straight ahead
I thought he would have changed the intro "Rev Up Your Engine" to "Charge Up Your Battery"
Me and my coleges are curently working on a 120kW conwerson kit for some older fwd japanese cars. Celica will be among them
Love you Scott helped me with every car I have every moto I bought you goof
scotty with a tesla something i though i would never see
Agreed with how he has always viewed them.
Me too !!
He didn't buy it - but he will test any car or gadget that somebody is willing to submit for evaluation.
Then comes the opinion.
ChrisMartin - Scotty & Tesla!!! Was I the only one who watched mirrors (at 1.24) fold in all by themselves.
Still a money pit machine when they do break down past the warranty. Too much electronic complexity that can go wrong.
TH-cam desperately needs a collab between Scotty Kilmer and Rich Rebuilds. The dry wit of Rich combined with the erratic genius of Scotty would be one for the books! 👍🏻
I fully support this !!
Yes! Someone please set that collab up, it’ll crash the internets 😂
Scott it's like a digital camera very expensive at start but as technology goes they get cheaper. This was many years ago.... I ought a cannon 1Ds Mark 2 the cost was $9,780.00 now a Nikon D850 $3,600. both top of the line cameras as technology continues it get cheaper
classic! old school car guy talks about new modern car. gotta love it!
Let’s do a collab! We need to talk Tesla + Toyota

I hope more people squat in your lame properties haha
"If it only costs you 6 bucks to fill the thing up with electricity; who cares if you spend another dollar?!"
😂😂😂
Until the power grid is shut off then your stranded!
Normally its about 3 dollars to fill up at home overnight but most own a gasser just in case the lights go out.
@@indigovoyager8757 Just buy a backup generator.
If you live in California, there is no such thing as $6 bucks to charge a Tesla.
@@tuhanpham What's the prices in cali?
You can buy an electric conversion kit for your Toyota. But it won't be cheap. Figure in the $5 to $8 k range.
Then you have to buy the batteries of your choice.
There are a lot of folks swapping in Prius running gear into their small cars and getting phenominal results.
Saw a Mini Cooper conversion the other day. I have an 89 I Mark Turbo Diesell Isuzu sedan I"ve been thinking of converting to electric for running into town. Getting hard to find parts to keep my little diesel running.
I'm looking forward to owning an EV someday. But in my early 60's; and having just bought a '21 4 Runner; I'll wait a little. A decent EV (I'm eyeing the Rivian) is pricey. I think people with EV's right now are in a sweet spot. Charging stations; while not particularly widespread or convenient/local to get to, are probably under-utilized due to the small number of EV's on the road; and the current owners find no wait time when locating and pulling up to charge. However; if there is an economies of scale switch over to EV; we may see traffic backed up into the street waiting for a station to become available. Not everyone is going to ride out to a large super station of an interstate with the hopes of getting into a charging stall. An old (nearly 10 years) gov study I located, addressed the problem that will persist regarding those that live in apartments, or, park on the street. Charging in a single family home is best. So; will the future rush hour now turn into the "wait" hour as people wait several minutes (longer probably) for a stall to charge for 20-40 minutes? Will there be a need for large parcels of land for stations to accommodate vehicles being charged? And the battery issue; manufacturing/reclaim/development. Search You Tube for Redwood Materials Inc. There is a video in which the CEO Mr. Straubel; a founder and former head of battery development at Tesla; discusses the challenges of battery development, manufacture and reclaim of rare earth minerals. Listen carefully to his presentation and one realizes we have a long way to go.
Except, there is a logical fallacy in that thinking, because you are assuming the number of chargers will stay the same as vehicle numbers increase. Nothing is further from the truth. In the 6 years I have owned my Tesla, not only have they built more locations, they have also expanded existing locations that had 4 chargers to 8.
In the meantime, Electrify America has been building a ton of new stations and new locations. There are far more chargers than there were just 4 to 5 years ago. That is beside the fact that most people will simply charge at home most of the time.
That is on top of the fact that charging times are dropping with faster chargers being introduced with higher power output, so instead of being 30 to 40 minutes you can now charge in 10 to 20 minutes.
Real world data simply doesn't back up your claims.
Battery swap.
@@xy4489 Take it from an EV owner.
Battery swap is an extremely stupid idea that thankfully did not become mainstream
If battery swap were normal I suspect that 80-140 miles would be the standard range for a battery pack and the rationale would be efficiency for commuter use.
Right now today, you can fast charge 140 miles in about the same time it would take for a battery swap so in that sense, it wouldn't save you any time to charge vs swap.
Basically, battery swap would make EVs LESS convenient, not more.
Real world example. Right now I only care about fast charging when I'm going over 200 miles in a day because every day I charge to 80% and that gives me 200-250 miles depending on the speed limit of roads I'm driving.
At least twice a month I take 150-200 mile day trips - an easy task in a Tesla as it means no charging in public, and really no need to change my default charge level. It doesn't require me to do anything special, I have no anxiety about range or anything. Just get in and drive, just like a gas car.
With swaps and smaller batteries as default, my day trips would get a heck of a lot more annoying because I'd have to make sure there is a swap stop on the route.
Plus such a swap system create an opportunity for the mfgs to turn the vehicle into an ongoing subscription product
Boy, Scotty flaps his arms around more than my aerobics instructor!
That's how he keeps his good figure at his age......😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂
Perhaps he learnt driving hand signals from an Italian?
With all his hand movements and some of his voice inflections, Scotty is like the Rowdy Roddy Piper of auto mechanics
1. At 15k miles the vehicle needs new tires.
2. The vehicle weights the same as a Mercedes-Benz S Class 5500 lbs.
3. One charge gives u 340 mile range
4. Fossil fuels needed to produce electricity to recharge batteries.
5. After 8 years of warranty of your batteries where do you bury them in your backyard?
6. The factory that makes the batteries is a hazardous waste generator.
How GREEN is it really ? Yet the POLITICIANS are all for it !
Hmmmmmmm. What is wrong with this picture ?
Follow the money
this guy I work with has had on for a couple years, love it, cost about 17 dollars to go to work for a week where I spend 24 dollars if gas was 2.50 a gallon. now 55 at 5 dollars a gallon. my small suv get 25 miles per gallon
Scotty, I’m proud of you for reviewing this Tesla!!
I love this man's energy.
Great video straight forward
Adding a 240 a.c. powered charger at your house may kick in Code rules where you will also have to increase the size of your electric service, 100 amps to 200 amps or 200 amps to 400 amps which can be very expensive depending on your home's unique setting. Underground service, would mean new trench for larger cable.
*That was really nice video editing. Quick and simple. Straight to the point.*
I am still driving my 1999 Daewoo Lanos, and everyone is really impressed!
How many miles? That actually is pretty impressive. GM brought them over as throw away cars
My first car was a "01 Daewoo Lanos. Blew 2 head gaskets over its ability to overheat so easily. It died at 67,000 miles. Then I got a used "13 Chevrolet Volt with 67,000 in 2016.

@@n7fjb943 you are ON THE GRID, cost of a new battery is more than the car will be worth, difficult to sell as used, good luck!
Daaaaawoo!
I was watching scoot video on "reasons you shouldn't by a tesla" a'd I got this one as a suggestion.
Always good to have both versions 😉
If your clothes washer and dryer are in or next to the garage you can get an adapter for the dryer outlet to fast charge overnight. super easy, barley an inconvenience
I’m surprised he hasn’t taken my suggestion of putting Pom poms in his hands with all that arm waving he does. He would make a great cheerleader!😆
Or a great comedy show if he was guiding airplanes to land.
now that was funny
Stop bullying him
YTP community, you know what to do.
Light sabers would be 10x better. Haha
Great Purchase 👍 Looks like lots of people on the background waiting for Scotty to charge the tesla with his contiguous laughter 😀
Not a great purchase

Hey what’s up Igor? Always giving good info on Canadian immigration 🤙🏽
There’s 2 Tesla Superchargers within a mile of each other. 1 is in a chili’s parking lot adjacent to I-95 south and the other is across from a large Mall with a Home Depot, Target, and Longhorns.
