- A few days before Christmas 2023, and I need to go see family and friends. Its blowing a gale - which means more energy use. Roads and chargers will be busy - how busy?
To add to the fun, I stop at the Adderstone Supercharger - and find the stalls have been demolished by trucks. This can't be happening!!!
Welcome to Just Get a Tesla, where I do a series of tests and challenges to help show people that instead of shopping around for EVs they should just get a Tesla...

Always find your videos entertaining Ian. Keep up the good work.
Comical is the word I'd use
Tesla V3s can share power. It is a common misconception. 4 v3s are powered by 1 of the power cabinets and they provide about 360kW and they can draw power from the other power cabinets to charge your car. So with a 12 stall there is just over 1MW for all of them that is shared throughout. Often you never notice but in busy times when everyone wants loads of juice it will share the load.
Hope that helps.
1000kW divided by 12 = 83.3 kW.
I'll give that lottery a miss thanks.
I came here to say that. Also there’s some evidence that the blocks of 4 aren’t connected together on a DC bus to share power with other blocks of 4. So it’s always worth checking the numbers for the least vehicles on an ABCD block or ones that will be drawing less power such as old S & X. This may explain why moving stalls to another block increased the charge rate in the video. Great video BTW.
@@BROOMEngineeringTMIET The probability of 12 cars all charging at high power is quite low. Not bad lottery odds, especially if the worst that can happen is 83.3 kW charging. That is twice as fast as a Nissan Leaf that is *not* rapidgating.
I’ve just watched Jonny Smith review the new Honda EV. Fastest charging speed is 78kW. In a brand new car!!! Crazy.
Your clips are really interesting, keep up the good work🖖
Great video like always Ian, In winter I drive chill mode, makes a difference
I just passed the broken chargers on Monday. Really shocked as it's always ticking over. I hope they expand it. It would be perfect for me if im getting one
It’s a decent spot to stop
I don’t have an issue with autopilot since the update either. I think some people want to have a sleep while using it. I have even seen steering wheel weights on sale to fool it. I think Tesla now use the camera up by the mirror to check for attention too.
Hi Ian, enjoyed the video, interesting to see Ferrybridge and the Gridserve chargers blocked off at one side. I mentioned before about chargers at Ferrybridge waiting to be connected to the grid, using generator and batteries until connection. These may be the ones I mentioned previously.
I was surprised your charge power reduced as another car plugged in, I must have misunderstood the working of the different Tesla versions.
Keep up the great work giving your candid videos. I bought a Tesla Model Y Long Range in December. Last night, I had a similar camera issue you had. I think it was caused by a Software update or by trying the “Roll” pedal mode. Came back to the car this morning and it fixed itself with an over the air update.
There are bugs! And regular fixes!
My Y in the winter get less than I get in the summer with bikes on the back. I travel 80 miles a week at the weekend, the same road there and back, Cold and rain make a huge difference.
I was at a customers house a month or so back and she had tesla come to sort out a problem, I was talking to the guy and I told him that I'd never own one simply because I couldn't arsed with the constant recharging. He came back with "Well this one will easily do 350 miles" the owner heard this and said that neither she or her husband had ever achieved anywhere near that, usually 220-250 but much less if it's very cold or they're fully loaded and the guy started getting quite angry telling her that she obviously doesn't know how to drive it and constantly repeating that it will easily do 350 miles after he left, unable to solve the problem, the poor woman was really taken aback by this guys attitude so I suggested that she should contact his manager and make a complaint, she said that would be pointless because every member of staff she had met from that dealer was the same, brainwashed like stepford wives!
Blimey, what is wrong with them?
I find the people complaining about the update to be hilarious. They’ve just outed themselves as bad drivers. I’ve made no changes to my driving and I’ve had no strikes. Basic autopilot continues to work great. Things have only improved for me.
Great vids, keep it up.
Agreed - the changes have improved it.
Hi Ian. Interested to see how your trip would be if you had an LFP Y instead. How would charging to 100% vs 80% in your long range, change either time to charge or stops.
Interesting question! If you have an LFP battery you wouldn’t charge to 100% on these trips. The battery likes a 100% charge once a week. So set off on 100% charged overnight. At superchargers the car puts in what it needs, not 100% as it takes ages.
There is a certain TH-camr who deliberately charges his Taycan to 100% so that it takes ages, but he does that to fit his agenda…
I have an LFP Model Y, and regularly charge up to 95% to 100% on road trips (depending on where I am going). If there are ultra fast 250 to 350kW chargers, I usually stay under 90%. If I'm heading into the boondocks where there are no Tesla Superchargers OR no 350kW chargers, I will probably be looking at charger sites with only 1 stall, and usually 50kW or less AND a higher probability that the charger may be BROKEN... It isn't always easy to see *IF* non SC's are actually working, so I really need the insurance of being at 95% to 100% full, so I can make it to the next charger, or (worst case) need to skip a SECONG broken charger, and go to the third charger (this has actually happened in Far North Queensland. And as for home, I charge to 100% almost every day from my solar and yes, it is FREE. After 30,000km I've lost about 10km of range (at 100% charge). It was 440km when new, now 430km (in Summer).
Terrible battery degradation! Traumatic - I hope you are saving hard for that new battery you apparently will need 😂
Physics explains the wind on the nose impacting your range, Chemistry explains the reduced range and charging times in winter. I find it quite interesting.
Yes, science is fun!
Nice one, Ian. As you may have seen from my posts on the TOGUK FB group, things didn't get any better at Adderstone the week after Christmas either!
I tend to just stick to the A1 around Newcastle now that the roadworks north of the Tyne are finished (someone please tell Tesla maps that, though!). Although it's a pain via the Angel of the North, it's usually quicker than the A19. Unless I'm southbound and fancying a bite to eat at the OK Diner at Elwick, when it's Tyne Tunnel / A19 / yippee 😀
I like the Tesla Bot thing. Proper I Robot.
I documented the journey Aberdeenshire to West Sussex south on the 18th December, and it was fine.
But the return journey on the 27th December during storm Gerritt was absolutely fine …… until Dundee. No queueing at superchargers at all. But when at Perth Supercharger I was reading the Fubar news and checking the google maps and my thoughts were “oh no!”. I was tired and four minutes before getting through Dundee, the police blocked the A90. Turned around and found the A92 also blocked. Ended up waiting 3 hours at Dobbies before giving the Barry road to Carnoustie a go. It was flooded in one place, but a success! A convoluted route followed and got home 3 hours delayed. Not bad! A bit worried about driving through floods, I reckon if the water isn’t up to the sill then it’s ok.
My biggest regret: my TH-cam camera wasn’t rolling.
No camera? That’s why I have a phone mount in the centre cubby ready to be installed if needed
Great video - what camera are you using to film inside the car?
GoPro Hero 10 and iPhone 15 Pro Max
Oh I forgot we went from Folkestone to Edinburgh back in October in a couple of ev’ s, didn’t cost us a penny for 2 adults, put our feet up and relaxed on a train! Same on the way back, so yes ev’s are the past now and the future, they’re called trains! X
I keep wondering if you would get further on the lower drag Model 3?
Need the space of a Y
I’ve had both the 3 and currently the Y. The Y is bigger and has a huge amount of space but is quite a bit less fuel efficient. The 3 is great fun to drive and amazingly quick - long range with boost or sport. The Y is less fun but much more practical and still moves much quicker than your average car. The Y is easier to get in and out of. A hatchback will usually beat a boot for carrying stuff. Pity the 3 isn’t a hatchback. I do miss my 3.
@@itmayjustwork Interesting to hear a real world honest answer. Thanks
It's been decades since I've used the Tyne Tunnel. I'd have gone straight down the A68 to Newcastle Airport, filling up with the excellent food at the Old Blacksmiths in Belsay, then on down the A1.
Those damaged Superchargers didn't look like they had been hit by an elderly diesel Volvo estate, did they?
Are you confessing? 😂
@@justgetatesla Not me, but I had someone in mind ... 8-)
"Get the heck out of Dodge"? That American-ism surprised me and made me laugh.
20:08 the moment the tesla smash into the parked charging car!
random comment to help the YT Algorithm. Thanks for the great content as always Ian
Thanks!
Me too...
I fast regularly so for me eating isn't necessarily something I would do on a long trip like that but I would need the toilet
Have you seen the teslas in Chicago?
Have you seen the Teslas in Norway?
I would love to know how to get such great efficiency. Since owning the car I’ve averaged 299. Today I went out in a 60 miles trip . No wind no rain 6 degrees. Probably same as your conditions beyond Edinburgh. I drove from Dundee to Edinburgh on the A90. I stuck at 65mph and I managed 289. I never see 245 . I must be doing something wrong
My US spec Model 3 is rated at 240 Wh/mi. That is the EPA rating, which is about the same as 55 mph in 25 deg C weather with no wind. UK spec (245 Wh/mi) should be based on UK cycle (WLTP?), but you probably also need to drive 55 in good weather to match it.
So what is the cost in charging for the trip?
Honestly couldn’t tell you - I wasn’t tracking it as cost wasn’t part of this video. I did a detailed breakdown on a similar trip late in 2023 if you go find that one, with a costs comparison to my previous petrol hybrid and diesel cars.
In winter , if you are using the non Tesla chargers it will cost you more to fuel than a petrol car. High KW charges. Tesla it’s about on par or slightly cheaper depending on how cold it is. I was quite surprised how much it cost in a model Y in deep winter. Model 3 is more efficient. In summer the cars run much better. I usually charge at home at 7.5 pence a KW. If you are paying up to 10 times that on the road you will see how stupid it can get. Winter (very cold) 2.5 to 3.2 miles per KW in model Y on motorway at motorway speeds. Summer 3.5 to 4.2 miles per KW. 95% or more of my driving is done at home. That’s 120 miles out and 120 miles back entirely comfortably without having to use a public charger. Much cheaper than petrol / diesel in that scenario.
Tesla chargers are not remotely on a par with petrol. See my comparison video before Christmas. It isn’t close.
😊
Enjoyed this video. Baffled somewhat though, as it seems to contradict the argument you put forward before with me. Sounds like a very stressful journey, with broken chargers, variable rates of charging and variable pricing depending on time! WOW. Get yourself an ICE for long distance travel. All this stress would go away!
Hiya! I have to talk these things up for videos. Variable cost? By a few pence. Even the most expensive tariff is significantly cheaper than petrol - see the video where I compare a trip vs costs in my previous Outlander PHEV and Volvo diesel. And charging speed? Again, I talk it up for the video. Let’s say it is *slow* and adds 5 minutes to the time. I could lose that in traffic anyway!
@@justgetatesla If I owned a EV I would suffer range anxiety. I'm yet to be convinced otherwise, but hopefully time will reverse this opinion. Also the deterioration of the battery would be a worry for me.
How do you find all the minor controls only being accessible via a touchscreen system? Some have described it as dangerous!
Still, personal opinions aside, I do enjoy your videos and will continue to watch. I appreciate that people like yourself help drive this technology forward.
You don’t need to worry about battery degradation, and as time goes on that will become clear. So many people talk about needing new batteries - the people who don’t have EVs. The vast majority of cars won’t ever need one.
As for the touchscreen, it’s the same as any car with one. My Volvo S90 was run through a touch screen. It’s the future! At least all the controls are in a sensible place. My Mitsubishi stuck buttons in random places and not always in sensible ones. The button I used most was hidden behind the steering wheel…!
@@justgetatesla Yes, I agree on the touchscreen point. We are seeing it on more and more cars, but I don't like it. Especially not for important controls that need to be adjusted on the move.
Simple controls are best, like back in the 80s :)
My understanding is that EVs don't like to be left unused for long periods. Similar to all battery operated devices. This also puts me off because there are sometimes long periods when I don't use a car. Maybe I am wrong, but remember, I can't charge a car at home.
How long is a long period? Mechanical cars dislike being left unused as well. I can leave either petrol or EV for 3 weeks and know they will both work with zero issues when we get back.
Erm I run older cars the youngest being a petrol 2005 Citroen Picasso, closely followed by a 2005 rover75 diesel tourer & the oldest a 2003 Suzuki Wagon+. I wouldn't say I hate EVs. I just know one wouldn't give me what I need from a car.
Who said you hate EVs? Lots of people have usage needs where EVs aren’t suitable
I did consider one to replace the suzuki which is basically our little runaround as the gearbox is getting noisy. But having done the sums it's just not cost effective.
@@NickyB62Old Leafs are great and cheap…so long as it really is a local run about and you have home charging.
@ObiePaddles
That's the problem I don't have home charging. I considered a Zoe but inability to charge at home, the faf of having to have phone apps etc put me off. More cost effective to get the old suzuki gearbox repaired or replaced. My big old Rover is bigger concern. She's been a good workhorse for many years & suddenly everything suspension related is failing. Some parts hard to get or obsolete.
Nicky - I have a 14 year old petrol car for the sole purpose of being a backup. If I am away in the Tesla we still have wheels. Or if I am away and need a car dumping at the airport. Small old and cheap - ICE is the right option
I love this guy. Always got a massive list of wild excuses. Who remembers the turkey baguette? 😂 can't wait for the next video!
Oh God the turkey baguette! Really don’t fancy it, and the cost was naah. You’re still here though- maybe one day I will be back at Trentham and I will eat one just for you. Promise!
Those chargers need cameras
Or a crash barrier behind them
The cameras need cameras🙃
wind would be bad for any car. its easy to say my petrol car goes xxx. but they only look for the best trip.
mind if you have wind, it is good to cut back on baked beans....
do not know why you complained about over a 100 on a charger, while most people end up on 50 kW ones....
Increased fuel consumption due to conditions isn't a problem of any significance with a ICE vehicle as it is with an EV, which requires more brain energy and anxiety to avoid fuel starvation. Undoubtedly the decision by Hertz to off load 20,000 Tesla's at a significant financial loss, is a headline that customer's don't want to hire them.
I keep reading this about Hertz. ALL hire cars go off fleet, usually at less than a year old. How is this any different?
Just think how lucky all those 20,000 new Tesla owners are going to be, driving around in a dirt cheap Tesla. NOTE: They claimed they were going to lose US$245m I've got to calculate that to get the loss per vehicle... And the answer is... US$12250 per vehicle. Not really very much IMO... I don't know what they are whining about. They probably had tax deductions and EV incentives that were worth more than this loss...
@@justgetateslaUp to two years old, yes that's known. More to the point to be specific, announcements by corporate multinationals such as HERTZ isn't a regular occurence as in the sell off of such a huge number of EV's at such knock down prices for reason of unpopularity with hirers, particularly in the winter. If you aren't able to rationalise any difference, I can't help you there. Your support for Tesla's is admirable and I'm sure they are a nice car to drive, but the recent overwhelming negativity concerning EV's does have much validity for Joe Public who just wants to spend a few minutes filling his car, not wanting to worry about about a box full of additional factors that aren't relevant to an ICE car. This whole issue isn't just Tesla its EV's in general, which government are trying to impose on the population.
@@greghudson9717 Missing the point eh!
And that is why so many of you are angry - I get that. In a nation founded on paranoia about government you don’t like them telling you what to do. But some things can’t be stopped - death and taxes as examples. Pointless howling at the moon against them.
The Hertz thing? What’s your point, really. That Hertz? Are leading the anti-EV counterattack? They are a big business. They don’t care one way or another. Big business do dumb things all the time, it’s a sign they are a business.
All the reasons I keep reading about why they have offloaded the cars - usually cost of repair / service - all of them make no sense compared to the write-down cost of dumping so many vehicles at the same time. The loss on the cars is more than the proposed loss on repairs / servicing. And it’s a business so it’s all about costs.
Whatever it is, it isn’t what you keep saying.
Comment to appease the YT Gods. Very happy BEV owner (originally a 60KWH Zoe, then we upgraded to a 64KWH Soul). Make regular trips from South London to the south of Brittany without additional charges summer and winter (I'm pretty sure that's been "luck" on the winter trips though...), and that's without the benefit of home charging in the UK.
I’m a big fan of that Kia/Hyundai powertrain…
Love the everyday examples of road trips in a Tesla.
As far as ICE vs EV goes it’s going to get better for EVs. In 5 years range will exceed average ICE cars as battery technology improves. Once that happens there will be no compromise.
Now for a cheap Model 2 and the last barrier will be gone.
So why are hertz selling their teslas off cheap stating that they're too expensive to run and maintain, EV fans were saying 5 years ago that they'll have a better range. They'll still be saying it in another 5 years.
5 years ago we did get a jump in range, 150 miles was the norm back then, remember the Chevy Volt? Part of the issue is also regulatory, fact is the best batteries are coming out of China, but American tax credits are now dependant on local production, this is a nontechnical issue. As far as Hertz is concerned they are the first to really get into EVs and in my opionion did so too fast. Rememeber they almost went bankrupt and I believe needed to way to get investment into the company to keep it alive. They made a big bet and took too much risk. The reality is that most people do not understand EVs, hence the purpose of this (wonderful) channel, to educate. I am confident that as time goes by more and more people will learn about EVs, then drive one, then will be comfortable with them. And yes in 5 years, new battery technology will be on it's way, that's partt of the excitement of EVs, they are improving rapidly in both capability and in cost.
@@dhrabarchuk I was assuming you were in England but based on your comment about the chevy volt, which as far as I know has never been available in the UK, you must be in the states? Supporters of the EV will never admit it but it's very different in the UK, several of my customers that bought electric cars have now gone back to ice, for various reasons but mostly due to reliability issues and range, another thing against the EV here is that whilst the price of petrol and diesel has dropped by a third in the last 6 months electricity has nearly doubled. Add that to the excessive insurance costs and the fact that a third of UK households don't have the facility to charge at home (No driveway) it's not looking good. Dealers are now offering 0% no deposit finance deals and motor traders definitely aren't known for there charitable nature. Another thing worthy of mention is that generally folk don't like being forced, coerced, blackmailed and bullied into buying a car and the way the British government is being viewed with suspicion by the public aided by the number of lies politicians have been caught out on recently, they did the same thing with diesel cars a few years back even offering cash incentives to buy one. Then once half the population had switched to diesel they changed their mind and made us pay more for the privilege of owning one.
@@Norfolkbiker50go and listen to what they are saying and you’ll find out.
@@ObiePaddles listen to what who's saying about what?
Awesome video! Yet another EV owner demonstrating why I don't want one anytime soon. Thank you!
You are very welcome!
I'm happy that you won't be getting an EV, that makes more space at the chargers for the rest of us 🙂
@@greghudson9717 I'm glad it works mutually.
I can only presume I have more fulfilling life than to be hanging around at chargers, playing the charge speed lottery with others. 🤗
I drive a Tesla. I win the charge speed lottery as our chargers are almost always fastest. And cheapest. And most reliable
@@greghudson9717you'll need them for sure.
You won't get another 100 kw ph at 134 on a Tesla model Y as it's maximum charge speed is 210.
250
Cheaper Taycans have higher miles or less options such as the smaller battery so less range.On average 2020 Taycans have dropped 40% in 3 years. Taycans will drop further in March with the new registrations like all cars. Tesla and Porsche dropping by £2k a month. Higher than average miles could point to an ex lease or ex company car that has been super charged a lot.
The more expensive the car the faster the depreciation. Especially if the list price is crazy - new Kia EV9 perhaps at c. £75k. Worst depreciation I ever saw was from my Volvo S90 diesel. Top spec every option ticked. £50k list, bought pre-registered by me as new for £33k. Sold it just over 2 years later with 40k miles for just over £16k.
So I keep hearing about EV depreciation. What about diesel depreciation?
Totally agree my mates 2022 plate Golf 1.6 petrol has halved in value in under 2 years, £30k to £15 to £16k and average miles.
I blame interest rates and the market flooded with ex lease cars and un bought new cars discounted. Both Tesla and Porsche have stopped production to refit for a new bumper and lack of parts OR is it to reduce the available cars stopping prices crashing ?@@justgetatesla
Where have Tesla stopped production? They haven’t yet done a RHD S/X refresh. But no stop with 3/Y. Ship full of 3 refresh cars unloading at Southampton any day now
I thought Berlin ?@@justgetatesla
Not that I know of www.autoevolution.com/news/it-s-a-wrap-giga-berlin-celebrates-first-full-year-of-production-226951.html
I am puzzled by the number of people posting negative comments about EVs on videos or articles about EVs. Why are they spending so much of their day on content they have no interest in? Is it a paid gig?
This is a great point! Also, at least all the frequent, lengthy and engaging comments from the anti EV people are actually boosting how much TH-cam suggests his videos to more people, which has a synergistic effect.
Yes, I do enjoy pointing that out to the more strident ones 😏
They are scared of EVs
Its not a question about hating EV's, I think there's definitely a place for them as there was back in the 1950's, delivering bread & milk & even groceries & local journeys, but you do realise that you are just adding to the coffers of China that is not really a great friend of the UK or the USA.
@@dennisnorton3880 All the more reason to develop our own sources of materials and manufacturing. Otherwise we’ll be left with 20th century technology while the rest of the world moves on.
ABC = Always Be Charging :) :)
How would you comment Tesla fiasco in Chicago?
User error. I watch Bjorn Nolan’s videos driving EVs round on road trips and even car camping in -30c. No issues.
Great video and commentary as always. It’s very funny to me that so many diesel and petrol car owners are brainwashed about EVs. They don’t realize that EVs are the future. Keep up the great work!!
😂😂😂 brainwashed? From a Tesla owner. You'd have to be brainwashed to drive one, looks soulless on the inside and outside. Plastic Fantastic
If the future as depicted in the past came to fruition, we'd either be driving around in hovercrafts or flying everywhere in flying cars. EVs are already on a downward trajectory. It's doomed to fail because of the way it's being implemented. There's certainly is a place for genuine hybrid power but the future legislation won't allow it which is nuts . Also, the environmental costs of EVs are horrific but that's ok because some third world far away country where life is cheap are supplying the billionaire owners of these companies whilst destroying and polluting the environment at the same time. I just think you people are deluded by your enthusiasm. Same as renewable energy.
Hilarious comment - you clearly haven’t seen the market share growth and volumes by companies like Tesla and BYD. Tesla sold nearly 2 million cars in 2023 alone. Incredible.
@@ByTesla237 Yes, I can see there are that many idiots in the worlds population. We'll, brainwashed ones anyway.
Mate, you have typed some literal clickbait misinformation on your previous response. You don’t know it’s clickbait as all the media outlets you look at say the same thing. Problem is that it just isn’t true. A quick Google would help, but why do that when confirmation bias is available elsewhere?
I’ve got the ‘full self drive’ - I’m sorry but currently it’s just got awful. I can’t turn the steering wheel enough to tell it I’m there. It’s nagging not every minute but every 15 seconds or less. When I look at the screen which I need to do to check stuff … like my speed it says I’m not paying attention and I’ve already lost my first ‘life’ because if I don’t look at the screen I don’t know when to tug the wheel. This is my second Tesla, I’ve had three previous electric cars one of which I’ve still got - i3. Not sure what Tesla are up to but the system is getting worse not better and I e has FSD in both my Tesla. …. And by the way , taking the radar out was a really dumb idea.
Is than an “FSD” Beta thing? I haven’t had any of that on standard AP. Not a single thing.
Yep - it was ok on model 3 but not so good on model Y since updates and removing the radar. The nagging is taking away the advantages. Spent £6800 each car for this …. I expect it to get better, not worse
I do use it all the time including around town but have recently found with the incessant nagging , it’s easier sometimes to drive with it off.
@@justgetatesla G'Day Ian. AFAIK, from what I have read, it also applies to AutoPilot as well as FSD. You will see for yourself if you enable 'Single pull to Start AP' (it's a new option) - you can read about it in the latest release notes, right near the bottom (look for the blue steering wheel). Release 2023.44.30.8 (as of 14 Jan 2024 - here in Australia). What it DOESN'T say, is how do you now enable TACC (Traffic Aware Cruise Control) if this AP action is enabled. My guess is that this option needs to be OFF to use TACC. If this is the case, maybe we can no longer have one tap for TACC, and 2 taps for AP (but I have not tested this yet)...
I think the miss-sell is the concept that the car drives itself. That was never on offer - it’s an assistant. Even when the software is good enough the legislation and insurance barriers to sitting in the back and letting the car drive will be massive.
Just buy a petrol car & feel the stress ebb away🙃
i have a diesel and an EV and the diesel simply never gets used these days. The EV is just better. Give one a test drive and you might be surprised.
I only use the petrol car I already own to dump at the airport…
@@smithleon Thanks, but no thanks. At the age of 87 I am too old for all the hassle. As it is, I can fill up (under cover) my trusty Toyota in about 4 minutes & be on my way, having enough petrol to travel pretty much anywhere in the country on one fill. I can do this without the need for apps on my phone & all that nonsense, I can even pay using cash should I so wish. Good luck.
With all respect sir, why would you want another car at 87? Of course you should keep driving what you have
I do feel that in the current era you should stop using the term ‘fumes’. This is a clear and obvious case of motorall appropriation
Worrying that you cannot go for 8 hours without eating!! You wake up in the night then for a meal?😁
Yep. Eating lunch at lunchtime. Why do I do it?
Hertz are dumping 20,000 Tesla's & going back to petrol cars, wonder why, oh its because nobody wants them & the repair costs are so much higher than than ice cars. Oh dear & there we were all thinking ev's were the future!
THat’s a great result, now Hertz are dumping them, the whole switch to electric will be shelved and we can carry on using our old smokers. Oh, wait a minute, that isn’t what will happen, ICE car sales are going south, while EV sales are going up. Perhaps nobody really cares what Hertz, a company that had gone bust last year before they got any Tesla’s are doing.
When you say Hertz are “dumping” the cars, you mean they are selling them at less than a year old as they do Every Car They Own.
@@justgetatesla No wonder Elon Musk always has a smile on his face with guys like you in love with his Chinese battery boxes, oh & by the way my local Hertz depot vehicles are displaying 20 & 21 registration plates.
@@dennisnorton3880 meanwhile Henry Ford has you in his corner, supporting the past.
I’ve been advised the hertz policy is just before 2 years old, not 1. I stand corrected! Either way, they bought a load of cars in one transaction. They’re selling them according to their longstanding business plan. They don’t care about your politics, they just want your money. And that means constantly buying new cars for their fleet and selling the old ones.
The only lithium ion battery vehicle worth buying & using is an ebike.
Pedal power + battery power seens to work harmoniously...... unlike all onther EV's
I've just got back from a 250 mile, 6 hour road trip during which I charged for literally 6 minutes whilst using a services toilet. Quiet, comfortable and the car drove itself a lot of the way. Total cost, even with the 6 minute charge, £8. They work....really well.
Try doing that on an e-bike!
@@justgetatesla My Ebike has the same range AND power as my Tesla. How? Because I fold it up and carry it in the back of my Model Y ;-) (Good clickbait) ;-)
Difference between ICE and EV...the charge you might get and the charge you will get clearly can alter radically. I don't believe there is much difference between the speed of petrol/diesel pumps.
There’s much less variation. Until you get one of those pumps that endlessly clicks off!
Refuelling Planning? don't even have to think about anything remotely like that with an ICE. Good grief. Life is too short. EVS are genuinely just not there.
Yeah. Refuelling planning. Like trip planning - not just driving but thinking. As I’ve always done it, maybe an EV is an easier transition
@@justgetateslano,really just no. Missing the point. Enjoy your ad revenue
HERTZ DUMPS tesla , go look
You know that Hertz “dump” every car off their fleet, right? Less than a year and every vehicle is “dumped”
@@justgetatesla I used to do the same thing, planning where to stop for petrol, because it was the cheapest etc...
Recalls done via 4 or 5 g internet signal? What if you don’t have a signal when Tesla realises your car is dangerous to drive? Glad you’re enjoying drying your earth time bomb, just how much is Elon paying you for these advertisements? Lol
Done by WiFi. At home. As I sleep. Lol
Ian is obviously on a very very large retainer. Why else would he be called JustGetaTesla ? Ian also gets a new Tesla for free every year - unlike me, I only got ONE for free. What's the matter with that ?
Exactly. Tesla were really clever in that this year’s free car is identical to last year’s free car so that nobody will spot their evil propaganda. 😂
@@greghudson9717 although he’s doing well, maybe I should start a porche 911 vlog and see if they’ll lend me one! Probably not!
@@justgetatesla Yep. They even 'set' the odometer to be the same as last years model ;-)
Shame a lorry put the Tesla Chargers on life support!
Auto pilot what a joke who would rely on dumb AI
Depends how you define AI. It is a drivers aid, nothing more. Same was true in the Hyundai and Volvo systems I have had which do the same.
@@justgetatesla I agree but is not marketed as such the driver is still in charge like any other car
So when you say “who would rely on it” the answer is “no one”. I assume you don’t use cruise control either?
Come off it. This isn't the future, sat there waiting for your car to charge and the more people using the charger making it slower to charge. 😂...this is backwards.
Also while you are driving thinking about where you can get to, to charge, don't have any of that worry with petrol. EVs are crazyness
I used to plan where to stop for fuel to save money. Do you pay motorway prices? Also most people think about where they are going and how to avoid things like traffic
@@justgetatesla haha trust me, I don't plan anything, I just take a diversion if there's traffic....what an absolute farce
That’s you then. I’m not trying to persuade you.
@@justgetatesla my journey consists on Plan A to B and if i have to fill up then so be it. Electric cars have their purpose but not for long distances and they will never be the car of the future. That ban will just keep getting pushed back because they know the infrastructure will never meet demand of owning a vehicle, imagine cables trailing along paths from terrace house, it ain't happening! There's a place for EVs for popping to shop or school run but long distance not for many. Hybrid is a great solution though.
@@justgetatesla I agree 100% with you Ian. When we used petrol, we had an App here in Australia called Petrol Spy, it would highlight the cheapest petrol close to me or on my route. I emailed them and asked if they could write the same App for EV's / cost of electrons. No response 😞
Oh god, another Evangelist who thinks he has seen the light. Funny as fuck.
Well thanks for watching my video and helping fund evangelism. You do know how TH-cam works, right?
hahahaha got to get your depreciation back some how you mug @@justgetatesla
Typical evangelists of ICE cars to think Tesla drivers drive electric because it is greener
another idiot funding spaceships to mars@@casperhansen826
@@casperhansen826 Seeing how I get all my power from solar at home, and also get all my power from solar or wind when I am on the road, it must be perfectly obvious even for an ICE EVangelist that sometimes they actually get something correct once in a while...
