I feel horrible for the thumbs down to this message, because it’s way more than 100% accurate. it’s only because it’s not cool to change the subject. It’s like you got people’s attention under false pretenses, making them feel cheated, not just uncomfortable. It’s in better form to get their permission first.
@elake Thanks for all the hard work you and the other team members do at the service centers! A good experience at the service center can make or break people's opinion about the brand. I had a Chevy and always had terrible experiences at the dealership with maintenance. If I ever end up needing to bring my Tesla in, I hope I get someone great like you!
it doesn’t surprise me as much as we are a family of 4 with 4 cars here in the uk, some places here do need cars based on what we do, i personally live 50 mins away from uni and others live 15-30 mins away from work so we have a the need but others can walk to work within 5 mins etc just is based on our lifestyle here in Europe
@@frankie123456ization I think in UK it is still necessary, cause as the other person said, some places do need cars, and that is also the reason why London is one of the top city for traffic jams throughout the year.

Not a smart purchase they have the worst build quality of any car,2nd most unreliable, no soul, expensive to fix, and worse for the environment than gas cars
Props to Dan for not buying an over the top car for a 16 year old but instead buying something appropriate and suitable for her age regardles of his wealth.
I just sold my 2018 Model 3 with less than 49k miles with Enhanced Autopilot, PPF (and ceramic coating). If I knew you were looking for Model 3, I would have sold it to you (from Texas). 6:17 Btw, all Tesla comes with Autopilot for free.
I had a 2019 Model 3 SR+ for 4 yrs 7 months, best car I'd ever owned! Now I swapped it for a Y in December, but it's SO GOOD I like a sporty car so the stiffer suspension was actually a positive for me!
Thank you for another great video. It’s nice to see a spotlight on older Teslas in January We purchased an 18 model S 75D for $29,000. we live in Southern California We are very happy with it in your video You said you bought some special tires to help cut down the sound can you please let us know what tires you purchased and where, also do you know anything about the suspension for a 18 model S we have noticed it just seems a little rough over bumps and road irregularities it does have the air suspension and it seems to be working properly and I don’t hear any noises coming from the suspension, howeverthe ride is just a little rougher than we would like is there an additional shock or something that we should be replacing our car has 66,000 miles on it. We are very happy with it. I would like to soften up the ride. Thanks again. We’re also excited about the new house build and enjoy following your channel.
Fun little coincidence - When I was in LA for the first time last summer for a few days, I drove past the same exact Tesla service center I think at 7:20!
Daughter: I don't want an electric car. Dad: Here's an electric car. I get it's more of a "family" car then her car but you could have at least considered her request a little more considering you have the means to do so. I only say this because you bothered to ask her what she wanted.
And with used teslas getting cheaper, it’s really good value for what the car is capable of. I bought a 2019 M3 low mileage back in Nov for under 28k and feels like new.
8:11 they charged you $83 for filters that cost at max $30 buying online. If you changed them yourself it would have saved you $$. But convenience is a plus, and they got you in right away!
@@shamil454 thats not the point! the point is he's saying its $83 for the filters and then $10 for the service to install them. The filters actually cost a fraction of that (a fraction of the $30 you buy them for on amazon or what not!
4:11 Dan, that’s a 101 when buying off a car from a dealership, never go in person till they have nailed the MSRP with you in an email or text. Once at the dealership you don’t pay a cent more.
Do you need a panorama sunroof cover on the model y and tinted front windows if you live in utah? I feel like even with the roof cover on, it doesn't really help keep the car cool.
FSD computer means it is capable of FSD. Where it says autopilot is where it lists what feature is enabled. Autopilot is free. EAP is a paid upgrade and FSD is the top tier paid upgrade
congrats to your princess, i wanted a safe and reliable with ultra low maintenance car for my son in college. with extensive research i end up got him a Tesla M3LR. when my princess turn 16 she will get a CT
Unless there is a fender bender that causes the insurance to total it instead of repairing it. It does happen since you can't fix other people's stupidity.
Hybrid > Electric (right now) especially with the massive depreciation electric cars have these days. Love that yall have a couple teslas, but come on. Maybe branch out a bit 😂
He said she only gets to keep it for a few years and then has to give it back. Also he booted his 18 year old son out of house even though he didn't want to go. So Dan does give tough love when he has to.
I just bought a 2019 model 3 long range for $15,000, after the $4,000 tax credit. Bought it private party but brokered though keysavvy to get the credit. It has 100,000 miles, but that's still under warranty and it's in excellent condition.
I genuenlly gueesed right it will be model 3 before watching a video, how is this possible😅😅🎉. It is actually a great choice i, want drive it someday soon too.
Why another Tesla especially after she said she doesn't want an EV? BMW 330i, Mercedes C300, Lexus IS350, so many much better gas/hybrid options out there.
I think a kid shouldn't get something so fancy as a first car. I feel like a 16 year old should get a regular car that doesn't cost $20k first time drivers get into accidents all the time and I know I wouldn't wanna have to fix an expensive car when it happens. In my own opinion you should really buy a car that's less than $5,000 for a kid until they are more experienced. My first cars were an 84 El Camino and a 94 S10 Blazer. I was able to buy my blazer myself buty grandpa gave me the elky
Completely agree with what you said. Dan has a bad memory of how bad he drove at that age. When she gets in a minor accident and has to pay $20000 to get new battery he will remember.
When have a car ever been sold on eBay, probably a dealership since a salesman commented on this vid saying happy to work with you, but Facebook marketplace is where u find the real deals at
Claire: I don't want an electric car
Dan: Okay got you!
Also Dan: Buys her a tesla
XD
I can have an electric car because no where to charge it, and only 3 chargers in my city, none close to my work. So I bought a Subaru
Bro if my parents brought me a tesla, i would not complain
Also Dan: Not buying girls a new car

Don't fall for that guy folks! I'm the real Erik!!

So you did know!
To me, as a European, it seems crazy, that you can't live without a car, so a family of 5 needs 4 (and soon 5) cars...
It’s outrageous but if u can afford it then 🤷♂️

that dealership needs to be looked into for scamming people.

That's every dealer in America!
Man! First your son, and now your daughter! Can I be your child too please? 😄
Fr😅
That’s very nice of you Dan! You know it’s always great to always have a happy and a sustainable relationship with your child! Congrats Claire!!!🎉🎉🎉
Smart purchase ... But one nit. Autopilot is always included ... Enhanced Autopilot and FSD is additional... I know, it's confusing
I’m surprised Dan made this mistake.
Not a smart purchase they have the worst build quality of any car,2nd most unreliable, no soul, expensive to fix, and worse for the environment than gas cars
I don't want an electric car dad... Dan buys electric car for her.
I like Dan but he is way too Tesla obsessed
10:20 - "The bushels"? They're bushings.. bushel is corn.
I know right? LIke bushel is an unit or measure produce, wtf does that have to do with the car?
😂 as soon as I heard I came looking in the comments. I guess nobody else got far enough in the video
How does bro have millions but don’t know what a bushing is💀
Lol I was concerned for a minute that you were considering getting Claire a pickup truck 😆
Silhouette on the thumbnail looked like Cybertruck, so I thought it was a truck also.
@@real_andrii Yeah, I was just confused at the beginning when he was saying he was looking at the Hybrid Ford Maverick or whatever
I mean that’s typical American life.
@@gordonou7065 No that's a generalization, most Americans do not have pickup trucks.
I have had the ford maverick non-hybrid for 2.5 years, It is an amazing little truck. (besides constant recalls)

I cant believe this. Your daughter is already grown up and has her own car, very happy for her. God bless her and wish her best
What a great price. Especially for the full self driving upgrade to be included. Very envious of this find!

I love it how he use the cyber truck to get me to click on this😂😂
These are incredibly lucky kids!! They got it good lol

You don't need the foam filled tires. It doesn't make any noticeable difference and not worth an extra $100 per tired.
It makes a huge difference, especially on the highway. Decibels lower.
wait what did you just call the Bushings at 10:21
Congrats!
I love Tesla cars. ❤❤
Is the Tesla build quality good?
I've been a fan for 10 years
loved the part when he shoes her reaction to the car
Do you need a panorama sunroof cover on the model y and tinted front windows if you live in utah? I feel like even with the roof cover on, it doesn't really help keep the car cool.
Crazy I watched your videos when your kiddos were small now they’re all grown up and driving
dude glazes tesla so hard

Hello from Los Angeles
They grow up so quick.
A car in Europe costs twice as much because of the various taxes on cars
nice car!

love how the thumbnail looks like a cybertruck. Funny I recently bought a $25k used model 3 LR with FSD and 66k miles
good one dan !
What a great 1st car!
Hybrid > Electric (right now) especially with the massive depreciation electric cars have these days.
Love that yall have a couple teslas, but come on. Maybe branch out a bit 😂
For $17,000 nothing was as good as this model 3. I tried to not get it, believe me.
Congratulations, I love the car and I wish you and your daughter the best. 🥳
I’ve been wanting to try out a Tesla for quite a while. I feel like it would be fun to own one
They are so lucky, I just got my first car (nissan leaf) on PCP and it is so expensive for me! Well dome to you!
What about the main channel it’s not fair I loved that
Aww it’s so sad that are of your all daughters and sons grown up
Great choice! She's a lucky girl.
I don’t blame her for not wanting an electric car but at the same time, a free car is a free car
The “bushels” go bad 😂
….um, correct me if I’m wrong, but -Autopilot- comes with every Tesla. -FSD-, however, does cost money and does NOT come with every Tesla…
Clarie: Dont need an electric car
Dan: Stupidly buys a tesla XD
are these Teslas reliable? do they cost a lot to take care of ?
Uhhh Dan, they are called "bushings" not bushels.....LOL!
I am so happy for you 💗 😀😄😊
Love the videos Dan!
We see you have money
Should you get a used Tesla only with FSD?
🤗 GREAT STORY DAN, DOING IT RIGHT ON A USED CAR 👍😎…CONGRATS TO CLAIRE 🎉🎉🎉…ENJOY YOUR NEW CAR FOR MANY YEARS TO COME 🤗💚💚💚
*No wonder all kids on social media now think that work is meaningless and that every kid gets a new free car at 16.*
He said she only gets to keep it for a few years and then has to give it back. Also he booted his 18 year old son out of house even though he didn't want to go. So Dan does give tough love when he has to.
Yes. Free car is fine but not a new one. lol
70K Miles and 5 years old is Not New.
@@Neojhun *5 years old is still considered a new car.*
*90% of people drive cars (and who work to buy them) that are over 10 years old.*
I just bought a 2019 model 3 long range for $15,000, after the $4,000 tax credit. Bought it private party but brokered though keysavvy to get the credit. It has 100,000 miles, but that's still under warranty and it's in excellent condition.
She doesn't want an EV, he buys an EV..🤣
Volvo EX30 is smaller and have more safety features.
Damn when I learnt how to drive I had to work for a whole year to get my first car
I was here when Lincoln just got his license. Where did everything go..
Out of all the things to replace or check…. It blows my mind how many Tesla owners ignore tires or brakes
In the next video we need Lincoln
@10:22 what is a bushel? Don't you mean bushing, or did Elon change that also? LOL
Now to many teslas. Trade old one for Mach e gt. You’ll love it
I knew what it was from the cover
I’m wondering what tint percent is on there since it seems pretty dark and if that dark is legal
my first car, I bought a 2019 model 3 long range
You are a such a beautiful father.
Congrats Claire! ❤
I genuenlly gueesed right it will be model 3 before watching a video, how is this possible😅😅🎉. It is actually a great choice i, want drive it someday soon too.
bought a hertz model 3 20k miles unbelievable deal on it
for every like I get Claire will make another appearance
Great video. Congratulations
Autopilot is not extra! I think you’re thinking of FSD. Autopilot comes standard on all teslas for free.
Like duh we knew it was going to be an electric car. But something deep inside me was hoping it was going to be a Hyundai Ioniq 6
Why another Tesla especially after she said she doesn't want an EV? BMW 330i, Mercedes C300, Lexus IS350, so many much better gas/hybrid options out there.

Autopilot doesn’t cost money it’s free for everyone. Only enhanced auto pilot and full self driving cost money
It was a good decision.
My second hand Model S dropped 50% value in 2 years…
congrats to your daughter ! They’re all getting so big :)
Dang, wish I was in your family, I’m getting a 2007 GMC Yukon SLT and the back is bent from where my brother hit a lamp post
Amazing deal!
Getting your 16 year old a humongous truck is so extremely insane.
YAY I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Why am i this early hold up ill come back 3 days later
Buy that McLaren for your daughter!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Good choice. I would have done the same. Tesla is the only car I will be buying when my ice car gets old.
Wait I remember when he bought a Tesla toy car for his daughter .damn time is flying lol
Maybe get a car where you don’t have to replace the suspension after five years😂
It has 80k miles on it
@Dan where did you find this listing? Ebay? Or other car site?
When have a car ever been sold on eBay, probably a dealership since a salesman commented on this vid saying happy to work with you, but Facebook marketplace is where u find the real deals at
Who thought it would be a cybertruck because of the thumbnail
Pickup truck, for 1 person, wow. Autopilot has always been free and included with all Teslas. You are talking about FSD package?
