Daves cars motto “ we are here for a good time, not a long time” - literally every car
Owning a car for 6 Months is a long time - for Dave. 🙂
Let’s face that he’s only really had the car for three months. Kyle had the car for three months before.
@@Anthony__420 which makes it even more insane lol
@@doomsday9973 Well ,really, why would they want a Model X unless there were grandchildren to haul.
Easier than going to a car wash ?
Daves next video....why Im already selling the car I haven't even bought yet. 😉😁.
That is next level kind of thinking! Love it
🤣
You change cars as often as I change underwear.
I get your point but I truly hope that’s not the case! Thanks for watching 😊
….and I like it!!!
💯
He's probably taken over $100k in tax credits. It's kind of embarrassing.
Smelly.
What the heck, Dave?! You “had” this car for six months, but your son had it for testing for half that time!!!
I didn't know Kathy was a musician...now I want to hear her talk about teaching music.
Model 3 performance in the next couple days then the Porsche
I think he already got it (MP3)
Dave's wife is more accomodating than mine... I've had my Model 3 for 6 years now, and she still says no when I even bring up the idea of starting to think about replacing it, since "it still works fine". lol
Divorce??? 😉😉😉
Upgrade the wife instead
I feel sorry for you …….
Replace both (the car and the wife)
It's your money lol you letting your wife run the show
I wish I was in a financial situation that let me change cars as often as Dave lmao
Calling it...Lucid Gravity is the next vehicle, and I'm here for it.
Doors will open halfway now with latest update
The Porche is the replacement vehicle.
Dave gets a new car whenever his current car gets dirty.
I thought he got a new car every time he ran out of windshield wiper fluid.
@@scottbreseke716 😀
It used to be, "Get a new car when the old one needs an oil change." Windshield wiper fluid, indeed!
Dave, I so enjoy your reviews and experiences. I am glad you have the ability to buy and review so many cars. All your viewers benefit from this! Thank you.
I've kept wondering where are there so many rich folks in Connecticut. This channel is living proof of that.
Nah, I believe you haven't listened long enough to Dave. He's _saving_ money with each of his purchases 😏
@@pqvidsays every junkie
Man, my friends and family give me grief for all the cars that I buy and sell. But you are a beast!
Prediction: Dave is picking up Model 3 performance Highland today. In September Cathy will sell her Model Y and get the Porsche Macan EV.
Bingo
Spoiler, in an odd twist it was a standard range 3
@@sethssd may be trading in the RWD for performance here soon lol
I never really understood this purchase. There's already tons of Model X content out there. It's kind of old at this point.
Agree with you there
Dave eats depreciation for breakfast.
🤣
U tube is paying it
The first time i have seen exit 9 without traffic in years 😂
Ahh good old weekend morning yard work listening to Dave.
I had HIGH HOPES of you doing several reviews of the X showing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Never happened. VERY surprised as your X videos drew some of your largest views compared to your other videos.
He did very little with it
I think Kyle did a 7+ HOUR Live stream TOWING video. Who wants to see 7+ hours of towing??? True, Dave was getting 60K Views(Showroom) on some of the early Model X vids. I’m interested in the X and trusted there would be some great content on the X going forward. I was sad to see it go to Colorado and not much appeared. Was hoping at least Colton would show a video of detailing & build/paint quality. Nothing…Bummer.
@@js3085 yeah his insanely bloated vids like that are just insane. And the answer is nobody lol
Whatever he buys will be on the Tesla charging network.
Rivian is my guess
Model 3 Performance?
Out of Spec Dave (Dad). Happy father's day!!!
Thanks!
Effectively since the car was in Colorado for the winter you had the car in your possession around 3 months and now your moving on, must be some sort of record. You need an intervention.
It’s basically free for him. He gets to write off these cars as a business expense…makes $ from his TH-cam content…and lowers his tax bill. It’s prob close to a wash due to this so it doesn’t cost him as much as you think.
@@myaccount__7269his taxes must be bonkers. 😊
@@myaccount__7269 well he will almost certainly take a loss on selling this
I am glad I found this channel. As picky as I am, Dave's review is extremely helpful in helping me decide between the X, X plaid, and Cybertruck.
Happy Father’s Day Dave! Work hard, play hard. You enjoy cars, glad you get to pursue your passion and share the ride with us.
Mmmmm maybe we are related, I can justify about anything, specially when it’s about buying a new car . My wife name is Kathy too. Cue the twilight zone music.
Full repair may have been pending parts.
The tape may have been to return charger to service until cabinet replacement arrives.
Many of the negatives you mentioned are reasons that I got an Audi e-tron instead of a Model X when I decided to move on from my Model X. The e-tron has a better ride, a quieter cabin, German fit and finish, actual parking sensors, a full-fledged instrument cluster (which is configurable, unlike the X and S), an actual sunroof, etc. I test drove Model X three times, and had one as a loaner for 3 days. I really wanted to like it, but it does not ride that well, is noisy, and for me the huge windshield is a pain. The flimsy little visors did not hack it for me. The falcon wing doors are sexy looking and helpful in some use cases, but are more trouble than they are worth. I do miss the Tesla software in some cases, but the e-tron is a better car for my needs than the X would be.
Porsche Macan EV.
I’m thinking M3 performance Macon will replace the Y
VW are much better cars. better software, better efficiency, better looks, better range, more power, better apps, better features, better everything!
@@wolfgangpreier9160 better software??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@doomsday9973 Better than Tesla would be FSD. Soon.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 yeah hang on to that dream 🤣
It's time for you to pre-order lucid gravity soon
Shocker, OOS Dave is selling yet another car. I other news today, the sun rose.
I got the Model X because of the falcon doors. I know a lot of people may think that are unnecessary but the came in handy for us. I take care of my wheelchair bound mother and use a lift to get her into the car. The Falcon doors make is so much easier to get her into the car. I don't have to finagle with getting her in. No worries with watching out for her head hitting the top of the car or her bottom hitting the seat. The doors give you so much more room. Just lift her up and put her in. So easy.
Always enjoy your videos Dave!
I think Kyle had that car more than you did
No thinking about it kyle had the x and lucid air more than Dave.
Kyle raised him right.
I’ve had nothing but trouble with my falcon wing doors. They replaced the door sensors five times. It was always the passenger door that wouldn’t open all the way Tesla Sarasota had it for a week recently and I talked to a technician and he said it wasn’t the sensors on the passenger door that was causing a problem it was the sensor on the driver side, falcon wing door that was causing a problem and I said thats strange because that door always open fully he says that the sensors in both doors communicate with each other constantly, so no other technician knew this evidently cause they kept changing the ultrasonic sensors in the passenger door now the doors open up perfectly all the time and of course now the car has been classified as a Lemon and Tesla‘s gonna buy it back from me. I’m really contemplating on whether I wanna get another X or not
They put the cool doors in the back, weird, also power sliding van doors are better and more practical, someone should use those
One thing very underrated about the six seat configuration captains chairs is you can store so many items between and around those seats, for example, if you are on a road trip, and had a lot of luggage of different sizes and shapes, quite amazing how much this car can eat up in storage.
Really disagree with you on the comparison of storage volume in the X vs Y. We have both, and I can get way more in the X with 6 seat configuration
Looking at previous videos - six months ago “ Wife drives my Model X for the first time and says it a keeper” - guess it was never likely! Look forward to the collection day video.
I'm thinking Porsche Macan EV.
Wrong. RR EV!
This is too EASY to figure out. They both went googly-eyed at the auto show over the Macan EV which will be available in September. Anyone need a palm reading??? 😂
Yup
My wife has a 2023 X that looks basically identical to this one - beautiful red. Got it about 1 months ago before yours. I have a 3, also bought about the same time. The X we have is the dual motor version, has about 6000 miles. 22-inch wheels. Mostly used for trips and errands around town. It is a real road cruiser. We have had a couple of problems. About a week after purchase, the rear inverter failed, making the vehicle go into turtle mode, the first time very slow and shaking (I wasn’t there, but sure heard about it). We were able a few days later to get it to the service center about 35 miles away in faster turtle mode, and they took care of it (required rear inverter replacement). No other drivetrain problems since. Now however we have the pass-side falcon wing door will not open all the way unless you hold the screen button down for an extended period of time - the road service tech says this is a sensor problem (could be as simple as the sensor has become partially dismounted). So it looks like hubby here will get to take it to the service center, hopefully to be fixed in just an hour or two. I will say Tesla service has been very good to us, especially at the Rocklin(Tinker) service center NE of Sacramento, and my model 3 SR has had no problems except a couple of factory cosmetic defects that Tesla took care of.
Agree, the horn button is ridiculous.
Selling because it drew no interest or new subs.
I have the exact same car and it just COMMANDS respect on the road! When you compare the pros with the cons, the flaws seem miniscule.. Frunk is automatic these days and all other things you mentioned is very minor cosmetic issues you can easily ignore.. I have all around tint window protection, PPF and ceramic coating on the car and it is pleasant inside at reg AC settings.. If you needed more space at the back, you should have bought a truck.. Ask the parents of young kids why falcon doors are a big relief for getting them in and out of the car so quickly.. If you want kids chairs to have arm rests, then your crib of massage chair for driver was no surprise.. 22 inch wheels are so much better when you go on long trips.. The sound system and online games at the back seat is a big relief for parents at front.. This car is probably best for young parents and not grandparents!
New M3P now and Porsche Macan in the near future 👍🏻
After driving the "Y" for 5300 miles, I've come to the same conclusion. The "Y" is a minivan. It's not an agile car; it's actually a bit twitchy. I took a ride out to North Adams- Mt Greylock today, and the twisty roads weren't fun. So... I'm seriously considering taking a bath on the "Y" and getting a 3 Performance.
@@craighermle7727 new 3 performance is incredible.
How can i trust you. I was ready to get the X based on your excitement and report about it. But now i pause on the X and the hype. Now you put a carrot out there. Why don't you just spill the beans so i can do some research. I don't need suspense. Not much time left.
Aside from some nitpicking, this entire video was about how GOOD the X is(was by now 😂). There will always be something to nitpick. Buy the X.
Makes no sense why you are giving up the X. Better ride and interior is the best. But when it’s your business to review cars that’s what you do!
That windshield is breathtaking … one of my favorite features.
The fact that this videos pops up after I watched Dave take delivery of his new car is crazy lol
Funny, I traded my 2017 Volt on a 2024 X LR last month. Like them both very much. Having the horn in the center of the steering wheel was a VERY pleasant surprise.
Hapoy Father’s day Dave!
Thanks!!!
Loving the video so far. You just earned a subscriber. That’s my dream car by the way, lol
Model y owner 4 years. Model X tax baby owner for 2 months-best car ever…for me. I keep it in Chill mode as insane setting is too sensitive and too crazy fast (I am a previous 911 owner and would take it to the track). The bench back seat is comfortable and very useful as it can fold down. No need for the third row. Most annoying feature are the power driver/passenger doors.
I really enjoy all of the new cars that are on the horizon. At the age of 65, my driving years are definitely limited. So the model X is perfect for now. Yeah, Dave is not the normal car consumer, but he does drive a lot, and gives a lot of good insight. Sadly, the model X may be my last car purchase, but I hope not. Cheers!
You are lucky for not paying as much sales taxes as I do !!!
I am in California, and in my County, the sales taxes are 10.75%
Otherwise, I would change my Tesla every year or so.
Anyone have the Over-Under numbers on the Macan EV yet? I know September is a ways off but want in on the action EARLY! 😂😂😂
I think the newest software update actually restores the auto opening front doors,
My long range model X came with the ultra red at no additional cost. I’m not sure when they changed that must’ve been just after you were looking Dave but now it’s back to 2500.
Dave, you change cars more often than I change air filters!😊
Lucid Gravity
Nah still months from release maybe more. He needs a car now
We're selling our new car after six months....so I can give my subscribers yet another lesson in conspicuous consumption?
Happy father's day, Dave!
Thanks!
@32:23 Your left arm should be free floating with your left hand holding and driving the steering. When I drive my MYP, both arms are free floating, anchored by the hands on the steering. You're driving Dave! 🙂
Dave you burn through Teslas faster than me 😅
Guilty as charged
@@outofspecdave1554Charged…good one!
Great review
its good to see the difference the X and the model Y
No power Frunk on 100k car. This is disturbing
Come on guys it’s not very expensive to make this happen
him selling a car is not news worthy, i kow I don't care. I only opened this video to comment, I will close now
The door issue is a setting. You can set it to open less than fully if you have low clearance. You must have set it by mistake.
Kind of interesting about the horn. I had a 1972 Ford Courier Pickup that I purchased in 1978. It was broken into so I redid the interior and used a custom steering wheel. I decided to use a horn button on the steering column for looks although the center of the Grant GT custom steering wheel's center hub was "pressable." I sold the truck to a friend and told him about the horn button. When he was in a parking lot, someone backed out and did not see him. He desperately started pressing the center of the steering wheel but by the time he realized the horn button location, the car hit his fender.
So I can understand how we have that mental tendency to press in the center of the steering wheel and in the split second it takes to remember the new location of a common device, an accident can ensue.
Bought mine in Nov 2023, when the Escalade IQ is available im trading it in. Love the X, but since it's my 3rd Tesla, I'm kinda just bored honestly. And here in Austin, there's a million Tesla. Since we have home charging, less worried about the charging network which was why I initially kept buying only Tesla.
Happy Father’s Day.
My vote is a black BMW iX with the brown interior and luxury package (with crystal interior).
The wife would love it too…
lol he’s not getting that, it’s more than obvious what he is getting
And I think what’s coming later in year could be a RIVIAN R1S
It will not be a R1S. He and Kathy both have mentioned how the X feels big. The R1S is even bigger. I'm guessing it'll be a M3P.
I think Dave is buying a million dollar coach and is gonna tow the new Model 3 refresh behind it 😎
We have the same 3 cars as Dave and we love all 3 of them. I drive the X and I love it. The X is a wonderful family car and I love the size. I didn't think I would like the falcon wing doors but I love them. The only thing I don't like is the horn button.
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste
🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤
Dave I rented the model X through Turo, which for me, was a bad experience, never doing that again. The falcon wing doors are a pain in the ass. The yoke is awful. On the plus side the car drives really well and the charging time at the supercharger was super fast. I have the model 3 RWD, I much prefer my car then the model X too many gimmicks
I had the opposite experience. I have a 2020 model 3 performance and I preferred the X. Had no issues at all. Thinking about replacing it.
@@johnjohn3241 Just personal preference. I like smaller sporty driving cars. My only issue with the model 3 is the low seating position. Other than that I find it very fun to drive, which is important to me.
Happy Trails
Thanks for the x review. Now I think I’ll keep my 23 model s. I need the 400 mile range.
M3P for the win? That’s what you’ve really been waiting for
Agreed, Elon Musk focus too much on FSD. The R&D cost that makes Tesla expensive. For the price of the Tesla, I would expect more, FSD aside. I personally enjoy driving my car hands on wheel.
I would like to know if it's actually stereo and not just high quality audio. I have a 2020 model Y and if I move my head to the middle of the car over the armrest I can get a bit of stereo sound but not what I think of as true stereo. Listen to the beginning of the Beatles "Back in the USSR" that jet should travel from the far right to the far left very clearly. Also give a listen to the "Let it be" album, the very first track you have the first guitar that comes in is in the left speaker the next guitar part comes in on the right speaker and you can clearly hear each guitar left and right you can also hear Paul on one speaker and John on the other when they are singing. That does not happen in my car. Great sounding audio but not very good stereo. Also give a listen to the James Gang "Funk 49".
Maaan, Dave !
Personal reasons for selling- Im rich, have nothing to do but blow money on cars for a channel that no one watches.
But you watched
@@outofspecdave1554 no no no. Don't get it twisted. I thumbs downed and clicked off right away.
So, should I have already sold my '22 Ford Mach-e? I only have 31,000 on it. How about my '99 Lexus? This is crazy. I cannot fathom dealing with buying a new car more than every five or more years.
You can’t fold the second row down ? That’s ridiculous! I don’t think your concerns over lack of basic safety systems is nitpicky at all.
Dave -- Perhaps if you bought a combustion vehicle, you might be satisfied with it enough to keep it for a few years. Just a thought.....
dont worry i like to change cars literally every month, literally, every time there is a great deal, i have to get it. only problem is, i pay cash for the vehicles, i don't finance, recently had a 2019 tesla model s, prior a 2017 c300, and i have a 2020 hyundai santa fe, now i want to go buy a 2022 Mercedes c300
Sad to see it go, but I'm looking forward to what comes next. Gr8 vid as usual. 🚙🇺🇸🔌⚡
About a quarter through the video I realized why you got rid of the X, all you need is the Volt!
Best use cases for the falcon doors are putting toddlers in car seats or transporting astronauts to the launchpad.
I'm glad you are selling the Model X. The Model S/X is getting boring. They are impressive, but since the Cybertruck and Model 3/Y are getting all the attention, the Model S/X are just more expensive Teslas that no one seems interested in anymore. Kyle already lost a lot of money with his plaid, even his old Model 3 Performance maintains a better value. Don't get me wrong, I think this is good for the consumer, for people who want to buy a used Model S/X in the market, they will get an amazing vehicle, but not good for Tesla anymore or people that keep the vehicle for a short time.
issue for me buying any EV used - people put them on Turo and do not say that it was a rental. Too much wear on the battery will be a big ticket repair in the future.
@@allenbaylus3378 just buy based on mileage.
Well, let's be honest Dave; the reason you're getting a new car is because you're a car reviewer and you're constantly getting in and out of new cars. If it weren't for that, I'm SURE you would still keep it.
I mean this car was practically a rental he had it for what 3 months?
As I understand it, he's always operated this way.
@@chrisstoddard1144 I think 3 months is a stretch even for him though lol
3 I.d4’s ionic 5, 2 model s, 2 model 3, lucid air, volt, elR all in 2 years.
I’ve never seen anyone go through as much as this guy
I think im going to become a MM in tesla models selling calls and puts 😂 with all this hedging talk 😂
Look forward to seeing what you are getting
Just met you quickly at the Norwalk auto show, and while walking back to our car I saw the new car your driving looks good.
Don’t tell!!!
All good won't say a word
I said it when Dave picked up that plaid that it won't go past 6 months with him. I was right.
Lucid Gravity coming later this year. Definitely fits Dave.
definitely Porsche Macan EV
Jordan has some new drone shot competition within the OOS team!
The doors auto open now, right? Interesting on the arm rest.... I may have to wait for Juniper, but the air suspension is soo nice when I test drove one awhile ago...
