Absolutely, FSD is a big part of the decision moving forward and one of the primary reasons were leaning towards a new Tesla

Thanks! How is the model 3 on road trips? Is it comfortable long-term, the seats and suspension and all?

@@pucaslife It is quite good. I have done numerous trips to Palm Springs and Las Vegas over the years and it has been quite comfortable. I always remove my “fat” wallet and house keys from my pockets and it helps for the long drives. One thing I recommend is to have the whole car covered with a paint protection film. It is truly a car lifesaver.

Do you need it to go further than 300 miles? If you go 70 miles per hour, it would take you about 4.2 hrs to go that distance. I for one, would want to stretch my back and go to the rest room. There is no way, I could go that long without stopping.

​@@pucaslifemy Model 3 Performance is the best road trip car of my life. I'm in Florida now from Minneapolis and will go up the East Coast all the way up to and around Newfoundland. That being said, while the Superchargers perform extremely well and are convenient to find along the route, they don't provide important amenities well. For the restroom that you mentioned you have to be lucky to be next to a business that doesn't mind you using it. They really should have at least a small convenience kiosk with a porta potty if they don't want to install full restrooms at every stop.

Yeah, the smaller more efficient wheels and tires are much better on noise and distance. My next EV will likely have the Non-sport wheels.

Those are Michelin PS4S tires. They’ve a 30k mi warranty I wonder how many miles they last too. 👀

Michelin pilot 2 sport. However, given the weight of the EV, I noticed that these only last about 18,000 miles or so with the way I drive. Also, the car is extremely heavy which makes him very down. I'm also not very good at keeping the psi regulated year-round, especially in the winter when the air pressure drops just because of the temperature. I think proper wear and tear. You'll probably get about 20,000 miles out of the tires. Maybe 22,000 miles.

Yes, it's live now! Go take a look!

@@pucaslife still not showing up on my end

I see it now! Thanks

A Tesla's rear display can be turned off from the front touchscreen using the rear screen remote control app. Here's how: - Open the rear screen remote control app from the bottom bar of the front touchscreen. - Tap the icon to turn off the display.

I would keep the model 3 for now. The S is amazing, but wait for another major update or some good promotion incentives.

I did return the car, haven't decided yet on the new one. Leaning towards a new X or maybe a Y. It's hard to pass on the Y, given the steep financial incentives they have in place now

LOL....thanks. Learning as I go.

Yeah, let me see if I can publish something. Thanks for the request.

I appreciate your opinion, although I disagree. It's OK for us all to have our own opinions in this world. Let's just all get along with each other.

Totally agree, sometimes the words slip out when I'm in the middle of rattling on during a video. I don't script out each video, so I apologize if some of these things slip out. Just doing the best I can to provide a little entertainment, and a great hobby, for me to keep myself busy. Hope you enjoy the other videos!

Yeah right? I thought the prices are really high over here as well. Not only do they fluctuate in certain areas, but also at different times of the day. And here in California it's a bit of a monopoly with PG&E, who takes full advantage of people when they can. One of the other items to add to the list on why so many people are leaving California, it's just getting way too expensive.

Thank you so much, you are too kind! Really appreciate the feedback, Thank you so much, you are too kind! Really appreciate the feedback. Every once in a while, I get negative feedback, but it's always great to get the positive input. It keeps me going, and makes me want to develop more contact for everybody. You have a great day!

Totally agree, I'll be posting a new video next week about the lease. Return. Take a look and let me know your thoughts after you see it.

I never noticed that, that might be because I am in the left lane a bunch. I tend to drive a bit faster than most people, and that might be the reason why.

I really appreciate the positive feedback. Every once in a while, I'll get some negative feedback, but it's so great to hear positive feedback. It really keeps me going and motivates me to do more content. I appreciate you!. I appreciate you!

Hard to say, the model S was near perfect in every aspect. Although we really enjoyed the model X for the over eight years we've had it. I think it's just at the end of its life with over 85,000 miles on it. The car is still running perfectly, but I just get very worried that something might go wrong and be a very expensive bill for us. We're probably gonna be trading this car in soon for a new EV but haven't decided which just yet

thank you for the input, really appreciate it!

Excellent idea! Right now it is between the model Y and the model X. Although I really like the promotional incentive, they have for the model Y. I think we're leaning in that direction right now, I will certainly keep you guys posted. If the model X had any promotional incentives, I would probably move towards that, however, it's near twice. The price is the model Y. Given the model Y is likely going to get upgraded next year, I think they're driving super hard promotions right now.

Right on brother! In our next video we visit the campus!

It’s a lease - he can’t sell.

That is correct, we had to hand it in. Still figuring out the next EV.

@@pucaslife Good luck! I got to tell you, your old S looked spectacular. A new one would look even more spectacular!

Thanks....that is really appreciated. We have a few more videos for this road trip.

Oh man, that’s totally cool! Thanks I really appreciate you mentioning that.

Great question, we are on our 3rd pair and I'm turning the car in very soon (lease return). However, given I haven't spent a dime on hardly anything else with the car. I don't mind, but in general, Tessa's are horrible on tire wear. My advice is make sure you constantly monitor the PSI, and keep it within a safe range. Anything below will certainly wear your tires down significantly faster which is where I made a mistake over the last three years since I've had this car. I think in general if you're safe and you monitor your tires really well you probably only need to get one additional set over the course of three years.

Thanks so much I really appreciate it! Let me know if there's anything new you want us to do on road trips, or highlight.

Yes

@@pucaslife 21 to be precise :)

Thanks man!

Why do you say that? Is that just your own opinion on color choice? That seems a little extreme?

@@pucaslife It's not just my opinion; many people are wrapping the wood as soon as they get the car. If you live in sunny areas like Arizona or Nevada, the wood will dry out and start cracking after just one year, making your car look 10 years old. Even if you live in cold areas where the wood will not dry out, the light wood will only look good with the cream interior, while the white interior needs the black wood or carbon fiber.

You might be right...love FSD and how fast it's progressing now. Also it's really hard to pass up the Super Charging network for our road trips. I've heard too many horror stories about other EVs and charging that were just a disaster.

@@pucaslife For road trips, or any trips, Camry Hybrid is the way to go. 630 mile range, and just 5 minutes to refill the tank. Tesla cannot compare to that !

Sorry if the speed of painting is too fast. I'll take that into consideration. Next time I'm shooting video.

Nah, the car is driving and he is supervising while filming. So no harm there

That's correct, thank you for noticing. I also try to be very careful.

I think we only do that, because most tires are made for average gasoline cars that way considerably less. So when a car weighs a good third more than the average gasoline car, it has a different effect on the tires. The big learning experience for me was actually not the way to the car, but the fact that I need to always keep constant, appropriate air pressure in the tires. That in itself would obviously be negative affected by gasoline cars as well, however, I learned it through an EV that’s a bit harder on tires.
