I Drove the ELECTRIC BMW iX For 2 Weeks in the World's GREENEST Country
BMW Has finally released their first "True" Electric Vehicle - the BMW iX. But can a classic car maker even produce a good EV? Do they know how to build a "true" Electric Car, and not just an ICE Car that has had its engine replaced with a battery?
To find out, I traveled across the World to the country of Denmark, where I was given an iX40 for two weeks. Denmark is an extremely green country with very high EV adoptation, so I figured it would be the perfect place to test drive the iX.
Join me as I try to make sense of this car, and uncover its quirks, its strengths - and its ONE crucial flaw.
Is thi iX good enough to compete with Tesla?
You'll have to watch to find out.

My OLD Tesla Model S Just BROKE. Now What???
Просмотров 217 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Eventually it happens! Your old Tesla Model S goes out of warranty - and then it breaks. We are used to this from old ICE cars, but what happens when an old EV needs a repair? My old 2013 Tesla Model S (P85 Performance) is usually super reliable, but it finally broke down the other day. I checked with Tesla, and they wanted a very high price to repair it - much higher than I expected! So I deci...
Is an OLD Tesla Model S Worth It?
Просмотров 570 тыс.Год назад
A 10 year old Tesla Model S can be had for a price that's much more reasonable than a brand new, 2023 Model S. But are the old, first generation Model S cars still worth it, or are they completely obsolete? The tech in Teslas has changed significantly over the years, but at their core, the original cars are still remarkable in their own way. I bought a 2013 Tesla Model S (P85 Performance Versio...
ALFA ROMEO 4C | An Overlooked SUPERCAR BARGAIN?
Просмотров 85 тыс.Год назад
I have a long term love affair with Alfa Romeo. My dad had Alfa Romeos when I was growing up, and I learned to drive in a GTV (I even took my test in it). There has always been something very special about the gorgeous Italian Design, and their willingness to put the driver experience above everything else. But in the late 90s and '00s, it seemed like Alfa lost their way a little, and took the ...

      EvFixMe is an awesome place and they would never send you home with anything to install on you own. In my case, I preferred to do the work myself and learn from the experience, and they were nice enough help me out on my endeavor. Rest assured, that if you take your car there, they will take care of everything it needs - at much more reasonable prices than Tesla.

    • @cadreamdrives
      @cadreamdrives Месяц назад

      I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at here? Denmark has one of the highest percentages of locally generated, renewable energy in the world. As most European countries, they used to import natural gas from Russia. This was always a low amount (less than most EU countries), and when the sanctions against Russia went into effect, it was easier for Denmark to diversify away from Russian energy. So yes, at one point, Denmark imported energy from Russia - as did many, many countries - but they no longer do so. But the real feat is the level of electricity sourced from renewable resources. Denmark is WAY ahead of most countries is that area.

      @cadreamdrives Месяц назад

      Being old enough to remember how we had to spray silicone in and around conventional door locks and handles in the winter, in order to keep them from freezing, I’d say these would probably do quite a bit better. Norway is one of the countries with the highest number of Teslas per capita, so I think the cold issues might have been conquered… 😄

I have a 1971 Beetle EV, running on Tesla Model S batteries. No fancy stuff to go wrong. Over the last 5 years, the EV Beetle has been simply brilliant. It handles the heat, and also the badly-flooded roads, and performs like any Beetle shouldn't! Greetings from Australia.
