Tesla Model S - Car Wash and Full Detail
Great tutorial.🙂 I just purchased a refresh model S. I don’t understand how to cut off passenger ac side😮. Subscribed. Ps help you 😢
Did Tesla offer you any options to extend your lease or was there any option for you to trade in your car early for a new lease
I see a Rivian in your future!
Did you have to change the original tires? If so, did you have to use the same brand as the original tires it came with?
Are you considering the Lucid Air. The current lease deals are crazy and the range is amazing.
thanks for the video - great details. Was the last payment just your regular lease amount?
Great video! I'd wait until October 10th before buying next Tesla. They'll surely upgrade the S and X to have faster charging speeds. The only unknown would be when they'll start delivering them but you can at least score good discount on the current inventory then.
Try out the Rivian R1T or R1S! They get to access the supercharging network now
lots of brands are joining the supercharging network, I think Rivian and Ford can use the superchargers as of now
What about FSD? No other EV has that level of capability. I'm sure that weighs in as well.
Absolutely, FSD is a big part of the decision moving forward and one of the primary reasons were leaning towards a new Tesla
I would definitely sell the current model x and lease the new one. Tesla made a ton of upgrades to it and it will continue to get better with OTA updates. In terms of the Model S replacement, I would recommend getting the new Model 3 if you don't need the larger Model S. Hope this was helpful for you.
So exciting. How many miles how many sets of rear tires did you go thru
Did a similar round trip from Portland to Santa Clara last week. Took just under 12 hours nonstop on my Tesla Model 3 2019. I did the same trip last year and I must admit it was a little tiring but Autopilot helped a lot. Your video reminded me of the scenery and the 3 mountain ranges one had to drive through. I did stop at Corning too. Nice work…
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.
But but but.... EVs can't go very far!
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.
Hello! In there an email for collaboration?

Hi! I did a noise test of the 2024 Model S Plaid with 21" wheels, and at 50mph (80km/h) I got 66db with Decibel X app at the db(a) setting. I felt like the car was not so quiet, but I guess the 21" wheels are not helping... I do not know if ANC was active in the testcar or not.
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.
enjoyed all of your road trip videos. What tires are you using and how many miles do they last?
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.
Are you going to post 4 of 4? Thanks
Yes, it's live now! Go take a look!
@@pucaslife still not showing up on my end
I see it now! Thanks
How do I switch off the rear touch screen? The rear touch screen stays on with no one in the back and I’d hate it to burn out earlier than necessary.
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.
Wife and I have a 2022 RWD Model 3 and a 2023 Model X Plaid. The 3 has the round wheel and I really like it. in our X, the yoke just makes more sense. I never knew all those years driving a ICE car with a round wheel, the top of it was cutting off much of the instrument cluster. Nowadays with the amount of data you'll see with that display, it's much better with a yoke. Sure, low speed maneuvers can be cumbersome but we "drive" for hours and hours on the interstates with FSD and it's a non-issue. I've been contemplating trading up for a Model S but the 3 is just a pocket rocket and a blast to drive. Am adult-sized GoKart, if you will. Touch decisions, I know. Haha. Great video.
I would keep the model 3 for now. The S is amazing, but wait for another major update or some good promotion incentives.
great road trip Video, have you returned the Model S and what did you end up getting?
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
why would it go to 250 kw charge when you have 170+ miles of range? Soc % is way more useful. you must be new lol
LOL....thanks. Learning as I go.
Great video. Always bad traffic between LA and San Diego, right? Can you add a video about the USS Midway tour and perhaps what your cruise ship was like please?
Yeah, let me see if I can publish something. Thanks for the request.
Heard a bunch of tesla fanboy inaccuracies. Tesla are not good cars at all.
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.
lol truck? That’s just a bigger sedan
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!
High prices over there. Our local supercharger is at $0.30 lol
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.
Enjoying your videos!
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!
You know you want another S!😀
Those no buyout lease returns are a bummer.
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.
Auto pilot sure likes to drive in left lane a lot.
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 love this channel so much
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!
Would you prefer this vehicle or your model s?
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
Great video thanks!!
thank you for the input, really appreciate it!
Your new car should be a Tesla. Avoid the Model X. The Model 3 is too small for you (I'm on my second one, single, retired, living well). That leaves another S or a Y. I would pick the Y for more interior room and cargo space. Spend some of the savings on some after-market extras (PPF, mud flaps, and interior conveniences that suit you).
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.
Fellow Oregon alum and 22 model s owner. 🤘🏻
Right on brother! In our next video we visit the campus!
ill buy ur model S how much were u planning to sell?
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!
Great video Puca. You do such a nice job of highlighting just how easy and convenient it is to road trip a Tesla. It is a testament to the efficiency of the Tesla that you can cruise above 80 mph and yet have no anxiety regarding availability of reliable and effective charging at the amazing Tesla Supercharger stations. Enjoy your vacation.
Thanks....that is really appreciated. We have a few more videos for this road trip.
Very appreciative I recently bought my model s plaid because of you thank you!!
Oh man, that’s totally cool! Thanks I really appreciate you mentioning that.
how many sets of rear tires have you gone thru over how many total miles on vehicle?
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 for your video. Always enjoy your road-trips.
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.
Are those the 22 inch wheels?
Yes
@@pucaslife 21 to be precise :)
Hey Pucas - am also from Pleasanton. Happy to see your channel. Subscribe from my end .👍🏻👌🏻
Thanks man!
The designer who chose to use light wood with the white interior and black wood with the black interior should be fired.
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.
I already know it's Going to be A Tesla Because I know deep down you don't wanna lose FSD
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 !
why you swinging the camera like that ? slow pan my dude
Sorry if the speed of painting is too fast. I'll take that into consideration. Next time I'm shooting video.
Everything OK but filming with your phone while driving 🤷🏻♂️
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.
Hello! I’m guessing it’s not possible to see the feed on the driver side dash? That would be a bit easier while driving. My genesis does it that way
So funny that they blame the weight. Like cars didn't weigh over 5000 in the past.
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.
That's a manufature defect. It's happening on a lot of the Model S 21in tires. It the camber
