#Smart #EV #Sale - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
You should sell it on cars&bids. Would love to get Doug's reaction hahaha. Great video and channel
Who cares what he thinks?
@@mikek5298always a effen negative troll.
Yeah, it would be great to list it on an auction site like C&B, just to see what it would sell for.
TFL’s definition of long term is one tank of gas and no oil change.
😂😂😂
Ha ha. Time to change underwear? Let's change cars too.
Bad choice of video to post that comment. Any other one would've been spot on, but somehow you picked the EV that entails neither gas no oil changes.
@@LyuLefterov Good point! I was still upset with them selling the Suzuki samari that I wasn’t able to think straight lol 🤪
How long they keep a vehicle may depend on how many views it gets.
I have to say, Tommy does a really nice job in just about all their videos. Like his style and really enjoy the content. Excellent work!
What happened to lift and off-road kit
I should get this one for my Wife ! She works 16 miles from home and it would definitely work out !!!👍
I owned two Smart's. one was a 2010 and the other was a 2013 and I loved them!
A Chevy Spark EV would be a sweet budget BEV to try next!
Please PLEASE pleaseeee get a fiat 500e now. You’ll love it! I can guarantee it
I vote 500E! I’ve been shopping for one to go with my 57 Edition 500, would really like y’all’s take on it!
I almost bought Tweety when it was for sale in Tulsa, but I ended up with a 2017 500e and it is a great little around town car with some of the same limitations as the SmartEV.
I have 500e and I love it 😀
I've seen 2017s for as low as $6000
Hi guys! Now you should look for a Fiat 500e. Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨
I vote SparkEV addresses some the Smart "issues" you mention such as fast charging options up to 50kw, and more power!
Selling it already?? didn't have it very long...Thank you to the Smart car...yull find a good home ☺
I think I was just behind this thing in Denver. Big TFL sticker on the back window and everything. And the plate read... Tweety, written in partly numeric characters.
Weren't you guys going to make it off road?
E-golf ftw.
Hey Tommy! I used to have a spark ev with DCFC capability it was a 2015. If you pick that at a great price you won't regret it. They are really fun to drive!
Fiat 500e would be cool :D
Nice vid. We've never seen a detail vid like this for the Smartcar.
I had a model S and now drive an X, we all fight over the little Electric Smartie!
Perfect. I'm really glad you made this video, thank you. I have one and it feels like the future. Or at least it should be the future. It just makes a lot of sense for a lot of situations. And it's really fun.
A huge temptation. Up here in Loveland as a retired nurse, I drive literally mo more than 5 to 10 miles a day. Tesla and other electric vehicles are difficult to justify because I would never live long enough to justify the additional cost. Great video as always!
Smarts are fun but the ride is hard. I would look elsewhere if you have any back problems.
@@Ijusthopeitsquick I agree, the car with its short wheelbase must ride like a Pogo Stick. And a crash with another SUV, despite Smart cars having a 'safety cage' the smaller car will absorb the brunt of the forces.
I think the biggest hurdle for EVs to cross isn’t necessarily the Distance or Time of Charging but rather mandating that Apartment Complex’s must have a wall charger... it’s one thing to buy it, it’s another completely getting the owner and landlord to agree upon it...
Go with the first year spark ev. That’s the one with more torque than a Ferrari!
I was still holding out hope for y’all to make this into an off roader.
My 16 year old daughter wants a Smart
Talk some sense into her! Please! 😆
It is probably an ok first car, but there are better options.
Dad, put her in something safer. At 16, there is just too high a probability for accidents and the smart is not what you want to test impacts in.
@@aussie2uGA despite the size, Smart’s have a really strong crash cell that protects the occupants, it is a Mercedes product at the end of the day. You’d be surprised at how safe they are... I still wouldn’t want one though...
Forget it, too dangerous on the road ! Like a little tin can..
Does your mechanic have his own channel? If not you should assist him with starting one. I love when he is in your videos, he explains things so thoroughly. BTW, Tweety would be perfect for the 1.5 mile drive to the Park-n-Ride bus stop across the street from my neighborhood.
He is so handsome. I love cars, I can only imagine all the car convos we would have 😍🥰
Next EV has to be the Chevy Spark, no doubt about it
can you talk about if it is a good vehicle for short drivers.. and blind spots while driving? awesome video. thank you.
I’m 6’6” and I can fit comfortably in a Smart car.
I vote for the chevy spark. I have been thinking about getting one for those quick around town drives. A little beater that I am not worried about.
Fiat 500e next please, so we have same vehicles... I have 500e and i3 😃...
I have a 16 fiat 500e. Feels a lot more an the Smart with the added bonus of a backseat. Also another underrated car. EPA claims 87 miles. Highest I’ve yielded was 109. If you switch out to a wider tire, handling improves dramatically. Almost as good as a Miata.
Nathan should buy it and get rid of his Leaf
Tommy can move the metal!
There was girl at work that had one, and the strange thing about that car was even though I saw it every day. Every time I saw it I was like what the f*ck.
Sad to hear, you have to sell your beauty. Such a nice car, if it wasn't on the other end of the world (I'm from Germany), I would be very interested in it:
The coolest part of it are the yellow panels. They where pretty rare, as they actually where intended for the smart fortwo edition cityflame. You where only able to get a smart with them, that’s not a expensive city flame edition, for a short time.
Also nice is the interior of your smart, I’m not sure how and why, but it looks like it’s a tailormade smart, even tho it isn’t.
Funfact:
You can get both, the cruise control and regen pedals, but that's veeery rare.
Great reviews Tommy! I would love to see a Spark ev review.
How about a Ford Focus EV? It’s another one that didn’t get much attention or recognition. Great job on your channel, I really enjoy the content you provide!
You should buy a Mitsubishi I-Miev. It is based on a 660cc Kei car and really a great little car. I've owned many micro cars including a Smart ForTwo and Scion IQ and driving the I-Miev reminds me of a 4-door Smart. I own a 2012 I-Miev and a 2019 Tesla M3 DM and actually prefer to drive the Mitsu for local runs as it's just so ridiculously easy to drive and has great visibility and utility. Believe it or not, Mitsubishi is still building these! 2020 is the last year however for the global market. They are not fast, but they keep up plenty well with traffic and will blaze along at 70 mph no problem when you need it to. Mine has the optional CHAdeMO port which will charge up the car to 80% in 10 minutes. Necessary for longer road trips.
I realy regret selling my 2015 smart ev, it was accualy sold new in LA, then exported from LA to Norway. Looking into maybe buy the new version
Ah man Tommy, that'd have been a great car with the Colorado winter rapidly approaching. Lol
Smart is a neat car. Definitely cool for commuting short distances to work.
Love you Tweetie 😍😍😘 we shall miss you..
That's a 50 amp plug, that would be for a kitchen range. The four wire range plug has three straight prongs and one round prong.
If it was for a dryer it would only be a 30 amp rated plug, and it would have two straight prongs one L shaped prong and one circular prong.
I can't believe you're getting rid of that thing. You love it. I guess you gotta stay fresh.
I've been watching you guys for years and I got to say your quality just gets better. You've come along way, and we love it.
Great video
Kandi K27....would be a great to see you thoughts about it...especially since you just finished with the smart.
Use Cars and Bids. You'll definitely get morr views out of it. And it might even help to get new audience who already watches Doug demuro
If you can get your hands on one, the 2014 Toyota Rav 4 EV is defiantly a hidden gem worth trying. If it was 500e vs Spark, I love driving my 500e due to how it looks and handles.
My brother in law is 6' 5" and has no problem fitting in mine. Its a gas model, I'm giving it to my granddaughter and getting a electric.
I got a 9.22 0-60 on my car! Although I was filming it, and then timing with my phone's stop watch after the fact...
Have you checked out the Spark EV? I test-drove one several years ago and was truly amazed by both its quality and its performance. Similar range to your "Tweetie" but much more like a "normal" auto IMO. I'm actually considering a purchase of one of these--I'm retired on minimum income and the potential savings in operating expense would seem to be significant. Try it, you'll like it!! Love your channel BTW
See the all electric Mini Cooper video showing how to add the gasoline S version front plastic, so it looks less like a dork mobile.
Love the smart car would love the electric version 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Tweetie don’t gooo!!!
That roof is krazed, that was an issue that MB even replaced some under warranty. I was part of a smart car club with my 08 passion.
Bring the⚡ Volt⚡ the Pioneer EV it's awesome.
really quickly, one last thing I think you should do before it goes is a hot or not video with the foretwo. if the former stig signs off on it (he will) then it really is something good.
next car, provided you can find it, should definitely be the Chevy spark. the spark in general was an underrated car, and the SS version (that just so happened to be electric) is an insanely fun little car.
I would also consider adding the e-golf to your list (or at the minimum borrowing Jason Camisa's) and if you want to contrast as hard as possible the honda clarity electric.
It seems like Geely (with a super cheap EV) and Volkswagen will be the next big players in the North American EV market?
I am interested what price point VW are going to be?
Geely will also produce the next generation Smarts in China. The factory in Hambach, France will probably be sold to Ineos to build the Grenadier.
Just remember the smart car was designed and meant for the old European countries and small tight roads that was built a couple thousand years ago that are 8 feet wide.Petro is expensive and same as electricity but not as much as diesel/gasoline.The range is only to commute around town to town that’s about ten kilometres to each other and driving in big cities to work and home only.In North America that vehicle just doesn’t cut it.Big cars,cuv and giant trucks and suv will decimate and crush that thing if it was in a major pile up collision.
Well time to get a 2016 fortwo model now!
Wish I still had my 2008 smart.
I was interested in one of these in my state but turns out the only dealer that can service the EV is the Mercedes dealership approx 100 miles away...a new battery would cost $20K(yes $20K) per a call I made to their Smart specialist...unless anyone else knows a workaround for battery replacement (and eventually it will need it) then I'm staying with my gas vehicle.
I own a Fiat 500e and while I love it, I think the Spark makes more sense. It has DCFC capability so you could demonstrate how longer trips go with a short range EV 😂
Next spark ev or maybe bolt? I see bolts for a few k more than sparks which seems odd.
Totally agree it's the best city driven car ever. However, people looked at me like if I were riding a dinosaurs, and even mocked at me. Eventually, I switched to Tesla.
I own a Tesla Model S (with autopilot) and a Smart EV. The Telsa is better in nearly every way. But, you know what? I ALWAYS drive the Smart unless I need to drive a long distance. It is simply more fun to drive (and park). I live the Smart!
I am interested, where can we find more information on how to buy?
14:43 send an email...
The new fiat 500 is everything!!!
Tommy are you guys keep on testing electrics? What about an i-MiEv Mitsu, love your reviews 👏🏻👏🏻🎉
I met several people who built them.
They called them overpriced golf carts.
I bought a car that looks exactly like that this year!
I may be interested in this car. How could I have more details?
Going to get a Kandi when they start selling them in the states?
I’m going to be selling my 2013 Smart Electric Drive soon. Hope to be getting the Wrangler 4XE soon. I’m going to miss the Smart a little. If anyone is interested, mine has a 2016 battery so it’s a great car.
Review the Spark please.
What about an electric Mini, not sure if they have been sold in the USA
It's a snowmobile. Lol.
Please let me buy it!!!!!!
Just keep it Tommy!
I had one of the originals (same colour) here in the UK. I would love another. It was superb.
I love my 2013!!!
So sad to see Tweety go.
Do the Fiat next please
That's so cute
I vote for the Spark EV.
Spark EV. Its 330 or 400 lb ft of torque. I live nearby if you want to test one.
500E!
$7900?
Ouch! Trade in +-5k?
No heated seats...
Why did they not do a Brabus EV?
You really should turn that 240V charger off at the wall when it’s not in use.
We could save the planet 🌏 if every one drove these 🤔
hmmm… european models charge up to 11kw by default. maybe it on our power lines who deliver 240V regularly
When sold show us a video of it going away please....
Cute little cheap urban EV Tommy, but the range totally sux! Maybe look at the Chevy next, for a step up. It would make for an interesting comparison.
How about the KIA Soul EV.
I'll buy it are you in Ontario
I have one here in Europe. If I would be in US I would buy yours. :-)
Like it, but it's $5000 more than the Benz wagon I'm piloting now. Mommy wagons rule. You can haul anything in 'em, and they are quiet and comfortable.
How much do you want for it?
The Smart is better equipped for the US market than the UK versions
Can you send Tweety to the UK please? I've just looked at a 2013 model with 25000 miles on the clock for £9450, the equivalent of around $11600
