I wish they could get a proper Knight Rider movie (or tv show)off the ground. I love the idea that Michael Knight would be the new president of the Knight Foundation. This Tesla KITT is pretty awesome. It’s the wheels, the paint job and the red scanner that makes KITT stand out. Who would voice KITT, and who would take Michael’s place behind the wheel? I don’t think anyone could pull it off.
I hope The Hoff accepts your invitation to take a ride and drive KITTesla! You've done a truly amazing thing and brought a piece of our childhoods to life too.
Just to educate you, from the time lithium and the rest of minerals, to the time your electric car rolls off the factory, my 6 cylinder Tacoma has to drive over 150,000 miles. Plus, when you charge your car, the charging uses FOSSIL FUEL!!!
restoring 1984 talking view master records for Knight Rider historians 1 year ago was an absolute joy! I did it twice! with one having the booklet page beeps removed I'm still rather proud of that work.
i get a little tearful when i see the return to original location segments as it reminds me of my childhood which i think we all have fond memories of.
I was fortunate enough to meet the Hoff twice growing up in Hawaii. Once was when they were filming portions of the pilot episode of “BayWatch” (they had to film the underwater scenes in Hawaii instead of California, I assume because the water was warmer, and they used Makai Pier which my dad owned an engineering company on, and I was able to meet the Hoff while they were filming). The second time I met him was years later when they were using the same pier for an episode of “BayWatch Hawaii”. Very friendly guy.
12:40 Ha! You went there, we LOVE it! And thanks again for yet another shout-out...your videos just keep improving, just when you think they can't get any better! Thanks, Peri!!!
@@-taz- Sure, but with only half a season, and the car not being a true character, there is not much nostalgia for it. Also, I don't remember the car being put into crazy action scenes. There has not been emotional attachment from the audience to the car (an LP 400). But there is nostalgia for others that are re not characters : Ghostbusters' Ecto-1, Batmobile (TV's series and Burton), Outatime DeLorean, the A-Team's GMC Vandura, Starsky & Hutch, The Fall Guy's GMC K2500 Sierra Grande, The Duke's General Lee Dodge Charger, Hardcastle and McCormick's Coyote (inspired by the McLaren M6A). Still KITT is unique, and possibly the one with the most nostalgia of them all, as it was a character ... a witty character :)
Wow! The Hoff! What an honour that would be for you! I saw him once in person when he launched one of his books and signed in a bookstore here in Manchester. (only for a second, but as a German, this is like gold dust ;)).
This is incredible! Not only did The Hoff make a cameo, but also you put the icing on the cake: You giving away you’re KITTelsa. I’m so glad that I found your channel. You have lived the dream that I always wanted and I can’t thank you enough for what you and your crew do on this channel. Even if I don’t win the Tesla, y’all have made me smile and shed a tear like a child. I can’t wait for more projects, surprises, and fun. One man can definitely make a difference
To be clear, Peri isn't *giving* it away, he's selling it. He's just selling it through a raffle mechanism. Minimum 20,000 tickets, minus Raffall's "unlimited tickets sold, 2 month raffle time" fee of £90, then 10% to charity, and lets be generous and say a $10,000 shipping fee to get the car to its destination, Peri's making at least $100,000 off this, if the minimum number of tickets is sold. Half the revenue of the tickets if not enough are sold, and he keeps the car. So if 19,999 tickets are sold, Peri pockets ~$56,000 and keeps the car. If it turns out this is a super-popular raffle, and 40,000 tickets are sold, Peri will be clearing over $200,000 for the car.
Have to repeat myself: Love every minute of your Knight Rider stuff. Great modifications you did to the car, great editing and I mean… The Hoff?! Can it get any better. Well done, Perifractic!
I just found the raffle and got a ticket.. love this and since trying to make a car I bought 3 years ago, well had enough.. and this, you made an amazing car, and perfect KITT ... Love all what you have done to the KITTesla, and just amazing.. and like one actor in the show, '' it does look like a spaceship'' Amazing.. gosh.. always loved KITT and the show, watched so many times and this car is just as the real KITT.. Watched many of your videos and just now saw this and congrats on finishing it and now will go see the more recent video, Stay safe and the KITT 2.0 is coming along brilliantly.. Cheers!!! Congrats to you and the family.. ! 👌🏆
A loooong time ago, as a conservationist working for the USDI - Bureau of Land Management, I designed, surveyed, and did the environmental clearances on the perimeter fence at the El Mirage OHV area. More than a few movies and TV shows the have been filmed there.
Christian, your videos bring me so much joy and this one is absolutely no exception! Congratulations on what you've achieved with the conversion! Very very cool indeed!
To Mr David Hasslehoff, God bless you mate, take care of yourself, you are an insperation to the old school fans! much love to you, take care and have a fantastic day!
So much effort went into this! Can't help but adore. That light bar alone you could sell many many copies of. No body work, every Tesla should have one.
KITTesla looks amazing. You done a good job keeping the dream of Knight Rider alive. I’m 52 now and I grew up watching the series when it was first aired in the U.K. in 1982. It’s a shame General Motors hasn’t come up with a modern day successor to the original Pontiac Trans Am. Whereas manufacturers like Porsche have cleverly rehashed the original 911 to look like a modern day Porsche but still looks just as good as the original. Not an easy task to achieve though.
Awesome :) Now a tesla EV engine into a Firebird body... You can DO it!!! :) I admire the passion behind these projects. Since its only a V6, it could be EV too... Glad you keep the original! Kudos
Thank you for you and RR. I recently discovered your channel, and what caught me was your incredibly soothing relaxing voice and your retro look. Nice to see a Retro fellow Brit bro the magic of the 70s & 80s surrounds you 🇬🇧
I was just watching the video imagening I had a lot of money and how much I could offer you for KITTesla and the raffle came up. Tickets bought. Could it really happen? What a dream. Congrats to whoever wins.
Very nicely finished off. Great job. I didn't even realise how "grey" it was before the wrap. I knew it wasn't black but still looked ok. Love what you've done with the car. Also as someone who is, shall we say "EV hesitant", I enjoyed listening to your counterpoints.
The car, the man, the dog - all so stylish! Your obsession for all that is KITT is so fun to watch 😎it's like a piece of childhood being remastered bit by bit
I would change the voice box to a LLM (large language model) which knows everything about kit, and that pretends to be him. It would slow down the answer, but it would be so much more interactive… amazing work, as always! Such a cool thing to do, i love the series 😁👍 (PS: TH-cam guidelines say „Your contest must be free of charge to enter“, and the raffall site is…quite shady, at least if you check the sites that know these things. I hope you don’t get in trouble for this ticket selling…)
Always good to see David. Only criticism about the action scene recreation: Need a bigger belt buckle. The belt buckle was as much a part of the Knight Rider team as was David and KITT. Great job with the car! It's been fun watching the vision come to reality.
What an incredible finale! Great work team RR! ❤ I was going to enter the competition until I checked out the import duties. Ouch! Sadly I cant afford it ☹
👍🏽🔥 - seriously cool. As a long time Model X owner many of the aftermarket additions, we Model X owners have had for awhile. I’m also a Huge Knight Rider fan - hence the black MX. keep it up!
Cliff Richard still looks 21 😂😂😂 What an amazing high for Mr Knight to visit your channel 😎 I bet you found it difficult to turn that turn that yoke too far 😇😂🤣
It has been an honor and a privilege to watch this project evolve from the very beginning and watching it now ending. We really need to put Tesla's tech into a Trans Am. Maybe one Day, One Man will again Make a Difference. Well, One Man and his Car. May the next future owner of KITTesla have good times with it.
I wanted a KITT big wheel. I had a Green Machine Big Wheel. My Father bought a new car back then and to this day my Father still laughs about me asking him to take to the Car Dealership to trade it my Green Machine for a KiTT Big Wheel. I had BIG Dreams back then haha! Every car I get now is all black exterior... with the exception of a Black and Red car I had.
Amazing job you’ve done, the video effects,editing are awesome! I live for the 80’s and the fabulous childhood we had to the point where you want to revive them today. I was lucky to meet the Hof during a baywatch shoot near manhattan beach, I just casually went up to him and asked for his autograph and he just casually obliged😂
Imagine Kit Tesla driving in the highway and suddenly car stops and starts opening and closing doors, hood and trunk repeatedly and a loud voice coming from the car says “that was a big fart Kit!”😅
It's this kind of content that makes this one of the best channels on TH-cam. Awesome work on this Fractic Family! I'm emailing Elon right now and telling him to start a production line of these!
*New Subscriber* : The production quality of this video is excellent ! Very engaging ! I remember watching the pilot episode when it was shown in Ireland when I was 10 or 11. I was hooked ! To think years later I drove by El Mirage lake bed and never knew that was where the opening was filmed ! DOH!!!
It’s like the science fiction can now be a reality. You’ve done an amazing job. Also what are the sunglasses you’re wearing they have a cool retro vibe to them.
Smiling like a big kid with the majority of this video! No way could i afford to do this to this high quality but i definitely have some ideas for my KARR
A great ending, but also a bit sad, but it has been a nice walk down memory lane. Even if alot of my Knight Rider memories are now being mixed up in my head with a fractic stand in.
This was Awesome !!!!! I'm subscribed on my other account and you popped up on this account. always enjoy your content, and this was so amazing. Thank you. I am sure this is going to boost your channel to the next level. It may take some time, on this profile my main usage is on current gaming tech, and 80's music. there are some channels that have background clips mixed into the remix 80's track, and often I saw Knight Rider, and one night I searched Knight Rider and found a lot of content, including TV Theme's Remixes etc. And now your channel reappeared. Lol, the Hairdoo!!! perfect!
Absolutely beautiful. It is wonderful to see the fandom carrying on into these days when reality can sort of match the dream of the original. Hmmm... "Self Serve" is now an Arco. Interesting. As for KITTesla's voice, we are entering the times when these ChatGTP's can be locally downloaded and run inside the car. And I'm somewhat sure that it is also possible to DeepFake William Daniel's voice locally. But that is just icing on the absolute beauty of this cake. But the real icing on this cake would be to wrap KITTesla in what could be the closest thing we have to MBS... carbon nanotubes. This stuff is relatively new to our world and there is current applications still being figured out for the stuff. Which includes being used on bullet proof vests. It might work out very well on vehicles bodies to further resist those pesky flung rocks and such. But that idea is way over the top. And... you mentioned black tint on the headlights. Which made me think of this stuff that's been around since the real show aired. (I learned about it in an Edmund's Scientific catalog.) I don't think it gets a whole lot of publicity (Do remember a spy movie using it inside an FBI set. They needed privacy and their clear walls fazed to solid black.) and is definitely in line with the show. I forget what it is called and would be a very custom job. But it works sort of like an LCD screen. In one mode, it's perfectly see through. In the other, the liquid crystal turns totally black. In a couple scenes, KITT & KARR's windows go totally black... and I've always wondered if they had tricked out the hero car with this stuff or if it was Hollywood magic. But with this stuff in place, you could easily black out the windows and headlamps on command. Granted, I can't remember if it goes black or clear when the electricity passes through it. Could be a major safety issue if it malfunctioned.
Man now that is i prize anyone would love pure amazing. Hey did you ever think about getting the bike from street Hawk or the helicopter from AirWolf and doing the same sort of thing or if anyone recalls the show Automan doing a car like that (kidding ofc). It's been a pure joy to see how far this KITTesla has come and the work it has had done has been unreal so good luck everyone who has a crack a winning this. As always amazing video and am looking forward to seeing what you bring us next, so until then take care and have a great weekend.
Sadly after AirWolf was canceled, the modifications were removed from the aircraft and are now owned by a private collector. The helicopter was repainted and eventually sold to the German helicopter charter company, Hubschrauber-Sonder-Dienst (aka HSD Luftrettung and Blue Helicopter Alliance), and given the registration number D-HHSD. While operating as an air ambulance, the helicopter crashed into a mountain in fog on June 6, 1992, killing all three occupants onboard.
Good questions. The bike from Street Hawk is apparently in storage at a museum but they haven't replied to me. AirWolf as the other chap says is no longer around, but I do have permission to go visit the only full-size replica. One day!
Thanks for watching! Get $1000 off a new Tesla at bit.ly/teslafractic and create your own KITTesla! Remember, one link can make a difference.
You really are living the dream of every little boy that grew up in the 80's. Knight Rider was an awesome show.
@@ShR33k This show changed my life
Crazy to realize that David Hasslehoff is now 13 years older than Edward Mulhare was when he started playing Devon at the beginning of the series.
How about David taking the place of Edward Mulhare as the head of Knight industries?
I wish they could get a proper Knight Rider movie (or tv show)off the ground. I love the idea that Michael Knight would be the new president of the Knight Foundation. This Tesla KITT is pretty awesome. It’s the wheels, the paint job and the red scanner that makes KITT stand out. Who would voice KITT, and who would take Michael’s place behind the wheel?

@@bratton79 AI KITT voice. Plenty of William Daniels voice samples. No replacement for the Hoff.
Why does David Hasselhoff look like Edward Mulhare from 40 years ago?
"Time stops for no one"
What an honor that must have been for the Hoff!
Hahaha
Soymayco dexis mándamela heremosillo

It Must Have Been Such A Great Honor Man I Mean Really Dude
I hope The Hoff accepts your invitation to take a ride and drive KITTesla! You've done a truly amazing thing and brought a piece of our childhoods to life too.
Thank you!
I love everything about this channel, the original shooting locations, all the work you put into Kittesla, all of it. It’s very much appreciated
THE HOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!. The circle is complete. ❤❤
Plottwist: David wins KITTesla :D :D

@@richardbennett8678 As if Your car magically appears! YOU EV HATERS ARE SUCKER!
Ahh The Hoff, what an absolute legend! And how cool to get him to film a piece for your intro. The pinnacle of KITTesla content, great work!
LOL you realize they just paid him through Cameo to do this. He is literally wearing the same shirt as in his profile.
restoring 1984 talking view master records for Knight Rider historians 1 year ago was an absolute joy! I did it twice! with one having the booklet page beeps removed I'm still rather proud of that work.
So you should be 👍

Fantastic episode. What a finale !

Does anyone still remember Automan?
@@-taz- I do!
@@-taz- Sure, but with only half a season, and the car not being a true character, there is not much nostalgia for it.
Also, I don't remember the car being put into crazy action scenes.

@@gazorbo. Yeah but Automan was on right after Knight Rider. Plus they had a car AND a copter.
Don't you mean 'HAirwolf'? (Oh wait, maybe not!). LOL.
Take a bow Christian, the boy from uk 🇬🇧 did good . ❤
Aw thanks! 🙇
Wow! The Hoff! What an honour that would be for you! I saw him once in person when he launched one of his books and signed in a bookstore here in Manchester. (only for a second, but as a German, this is like gold dust ;)).
Always taking it to the next level! Un-frack-ing believable!
He should do this with an cybertoaster, I mean a cybertruck. The DRL would make a cool scanner

Only criticism about the action scene recreation: Need a bigger belt buckle. The belt buckle was as much a part of the Knight Rider team as was David and KITT.
Great job with the car! It's been fun watching the vision come to reality.
I couldn't afford one after all that work to the car!
What an incredible finale! Great work team RR! ❤
I was going to enter the competition until I checked out the import duties. Ouch! Sadly I cant afford it ☹
So I've been looking and I can't find anything on where the original k.a.r.r is to this day and I wondered if you could find out
Excellent content, as always. The smile on my face watching you recreate those scenes...top notch.
You guys are just awesome. Thank you for the superb entertainment.
Glad that there's plenty in the tank for future projects.

Every car I get now is all black exterior... with the exception of a Black and Red car I had.
A few of my friends in primary school had that, but I had the actual mini car version with 3 buttons that made noises with pedals!
Holy crap, @RetroRecipes, you were just down the street from me when you filmed the gas station scene! I wish I'd been there to see that!

This series was amazing, thank you!
Great job on the car. Is there more info on the problems with trying to put all that Tesla stuff into a more accurate TransAm?
See Part 1 :)

Thanks for all your hard work PF!! This video was awesome and I love KITTesla!

As for KITTesla's voice, we are entering the times when these ChatGTP's can be locally downloaded and run inside the car. And I'm somewhat sure that it is also possible to DeepFake William Daniel's voice locally. But that is just icing on the absolute beauty of this cake.
But the real icing on this cake would be to wrap KITTesla in what could be the closest thing we have to MBS... carbon nanotubes. This stuff is relatively new to our world and there is current applications still being figured out for the stuff. Which includes being used on bullet proof vests. It might work out very well on vehicles bodies to further resist those pesky flung rocks and such. But that idea is way over the top.
And... you mentioned black tint on the headlights. Which made me think of this stuff that's been around since the real show aired. (I learned about it in an Edmund's Scientific catalog.) I don't think it gets a whole lot of publicity (Do remember a spy movie using it inside an FBI set. They needed privacy and their clear walls fazed to solid black.) and is definitely in line with the show. I forget what it is called and would be a very custom job. But it works sort of like an LCD screen. In one mode, it's perfectly see through. In the other, the liquid crystal turns totally black. In a couple scenes, KITT & KARR's windows go totally black... and I've always wondered if they had tricked out the hero car with this stuff or if it was Hollywood magic. But with this stuff in place, you could easily black out the windows and headlamps on command. Granted, I can't remember if it goes black or clear when the electricity passes through it. Could be a major safety issue if it malfunctioned.
It so needed the wrap.
Almost there boss.. KITT is bulletproof so need to armour it (level 9) and how about the hyper pursuit mode?? 🤔
This is soooo cool!!
I think the fact that David Hasselhoff lived to see an actual working KITT in real life is something phenomenal
Absolutely awesome.. the Hoff looks so different. If it wasn't for his voice i wouldn't have recognised him
Will you be making a Back toothed future version ? Though I don't know how you get around the wing doors
The Hoff rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Self-driving cars kill more people."
KITTesla: "I certainly hope so!"
😂🤣
Man now that is i prize anyone would love pure amazing. Hey did you ever think about getting the bike from street Hawk or the helicopter from AirWolf and doing the same sort of thing or if anyone recalls the show Automan doing a car like that (kidding ofc). It's been a pure joy to see how far this KITTesla has come and the work it has had done has been unreal so good luck everyone who has a crack a winning this. As always amazing video and am looking forward to seeing what you bring us next, so until then take care and have a great weekend.
Sadly after AirWolf was canceled, the modifications were removed from the aircraft and are now owned by a private collector. The helicopter was repainted and eventually sold to the German helicopter charter company, Hubschrauber-Sonder-Dienst (aka HSD Luftrettung and Blue Helicopter Alliance), and given the registration number D-HHSD. While operating as an air ambulance, the helicopter crashed into a mountain in fog on June 6, 1992, killing all three occupants onboard.
Love your KITTesla video Perri,is there any possibility you could do a video on the real KITT that you have in your garage?
Good questions. The bike from Street Hawk is apparently in storage at a museum but they haven't replied to me. AirWolf as the other chap says is no longer around, but I do have permission to go visit the only full-size replica. One day!
@@BrianKitching-wv5nh I've done at least 3 vids on the real KITT with more to come :)
Awesome job Peri
Amazing!
The Perifractic's toupee in 4k, I mean.
