a current Model 3 owner here, I honestly don't care about Elon's reputation or his political opinion, and I don't care how other people look at Tesla, I got the car for myself not for others, and I won't care about how other people think, it's just not that important.
Elon is Netanyahu’s bitch. He fled South Africa because of apartheid but yet sucks on Netanyahu and the apartheid he’s put Palestine under for the last 75 years
My BIL told me "how can you support Elon with his insane statements and behavior" So I asked him how he felt about Fords CEOs political affiliation and comportment. Funny enough he didn't even know who it was or what his opinions were. Who gives a shit!? 😂
When you talk about maintenance, don't include money you spent for a rear-end collision, huge potholes and cracked windshields - that has nothing to do with which car you had when those happened. How much have you paid in maintenance for charges that are unique to the car - parts that needed repair or replacement, issues with manufacturing quality, etc. I got my Model 3 in Dec of 2019, I have 72,824 miles on it as of today and I have spent $0 on maintenance. It's the best car I've ever owned.
Classic lying Fanboy. You need to change cabin air filters. You need to clean your AC system because of the design flaw. You need to change your tires with alignment. You need to do maintenance on your brakes. After 4 years, Good idea to flash your brake fluid.
@@alexsmith6271 Ok, you got me on the cabin air filters; however, my AC is fine and I hardly ever touch my brakes with the regenerative braking. Brake fluid flush is probably a good idea. All in all, by far the cheapest car from a maintenance perspective that I've ever owned.
@@unplugandplay9318 it's cheapest and i have 22m3p. But you need to maintenance your brakes regardless if it's an ice car or ev. Especially if you don't use it, do it before it fails on you in critical moment. I did mines last winter and I drive hard.
@@alexsmith6271 I haven't flush the break fluid in my Toyota Tacoma after 125k miles. 😯 Just took it extreme off roading 3 weeks ago. Breaks worked fine, but the damn mud killed my alternator. Replaced it myself. Cost me $125 in parts. The truck is 26 yrs old.
Well, I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered and I don't know where to go here out of devastation.
The safest approach I feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.

Just a heads up about Tesla vision - i would recommend you to recalibrate the camera in the settings. I did this recently and the AP/FSD features have been working great. Doesn't hurt to give it a try.
You called a wrecker for a flat! 😮and if your biggest complaint is elons beliefs it sounds like the car is good. I don’t give a 💩 about political views when I’m buying a product
Doesn’t that attitude undermine the freedom you value? By ignoring others’ harmful behavior just because it doesn’t affect you now, you risk being on the receiving end one day. How will you feel when others respond with the same indifference, saying, "If It doesn’t affect me, why should I care?”
Nobody should care about what Elon is doing politically and personal opinion. The real question should be, Is my Tesla in good condition? 😅 If yes, I don't care!
You and I are in exactly the same place. Our cars are identical except color and the age and mileage are identical. My range loss is also the same at about 10 to 15 miles. I am really ready for a new car and would love to get a refreshed Model 3 but I have the same concerns about the future of Tesla. I may wait a year or two and look at other products like Hyundai and Kia. Those cars are over priced right now but they start producing them in the US soon and if they can get the cost down (and/or get the tax credit) I might go that route.
Tell which of any major company CEOs are talking/insulting for any stupid thing about anything that happen in the World (politics or not) all the time on Twitter/X ? or any other Social Media/Network ? . "Involved" it's one thing ... to be doing PUBLIC statements about it, it's very different. BTW! the Model 3 refresh was cancelled, lol
If a ceo says arrest me before anyone for opening the factory in covid period and openly shares his political views without some ceo filter, i would choose that CEO rather than some corporate suit.
@@skytech2501Everyone wants to vilify tyrants of the past, but the panic around Covid should make it clear just how easily the masses can be controlled.
I’m curious, what does the political views of a CEO have to do with the reliability/functionality of the car? I’m sure there are plenty of other higher ups at other companies sharing their political views as well. Are you concerned because he’s more relevant than any other? I just don’t think that should hold someone back from purchasing a car. If it works for you and you like it, why not? 🤷🏻♂️
My two cents (for what it’s worth)… I think that you should also own a Hybrid 12:29 . With all the extreme weather, access to power isn’t always available. Plan ahead and start thinking about adding a Hybrid. Trust me. 🙏
Why actually you ended up visiting car service every year? Rather than other EV companies Tesla actually telling you that yearly car service is pretty much irrelevant. What am I missing here?
Australia, Model 3, Standard Range, 5 years old, 115 000 KM, 3 small problems under warranty. Great service centre here. Cost, only Insurance and Registration. Power from Solar and home battery. 70 000 km had to buy 4 new tyres. BUT SAME AS YOU, CAR GREAT MR. MUSK?
Despite the downsides, Tesla is leagues ahead other EVs and is the safer purchase option for both new and used for the curious. It says a lot when you can find a fairly decent deal on a 2019 Model 3 and the experience is still modern today...all for around $25k used.
All of these owners can get the question answered by calling today and asking the service center how much does it cost to replace the batteries? Then call the local scrapyard and ask if they’ll take the car when it reaches the end of its life cycle. If you live in the northern hemisphere, you love warm or semi warm vehicle to get into.
Don't forget, electric cars while being manufactured, do actually pollute a lot because of the toxic metals in the batteries, and to get electricity, fossil fuel is burned. So if you a complete environmentalist, don't get a car, get a bicycle.
Thank you for the review. I appreciate your overview of the features and pro’s and cons. Just a minor point that I hear from Tesla owners, hydrocarbons were burnt to make your Tesla car including the battery. Every time you charge your car it is being charged through either carbon being burnt to create the electricity or from hydro electric power or from wind energy none of which are entirely carbon free. I.e carbon burnt to build the wind turbines etc..cables to transport the electric etc…so it’s not carbon free.
I share your same outlook on the future of Tesla. Years ago, I held them in such high regards, envisioning owning one once I owned a house. Now that I do, Musk's statements and behavior alone have made me entirely question the brand as a whole.
His statement is the only reason i am thinking of buying a Tesla despite being a ice guy.... Free Speech all the way... Love Musk to take a stand against fascism!
In 6 yrs. Only 1 bad taillight bulb replaced by dealer @ $10. for my Chevy/Saic 4cyl Sail LTZ in Philippines. Plus 1 set tires, annual lube, oil. Only 16k new. EV's have a long way to go to beat reliability of a good ICE car.
I'm getting a used long range AWD 2019 model that looks and seems to be absolutely perfect from a local dealership with 84k Km ( 52 k miles approximately) fingers crossed I'm not making a mistake!
@@genepatrickdelossantos8777so far so good! Loving every km I'm driving in this thing. My only problem right now is the access ramp to the garage which causes some scraping underneath the car... I'm getting the car in the garage very gingerly until the building administrators do something about it... They are taking their sweet time unfortunately
@@steve410 im getting it, used one. Low miles I’m waiting on charger now. It was this or a Prius but since I have a gas Honda now I figure I didn’t need the hybrid.
You should try other electric cars. I drove a model Y for a week, and I own a Ioniq 5, and all the cool features from are in the competitors too, Tesla has no particular unique features, and I find them better implemented in my Ioniq.
49.000 miles in six years??? You use it only in weekends?? I'm doing 40k miles in just a year and a half! And the majority of the cars here in Europe are doing 100k kilometers in 2-3 years... 7.5k $ repair cost and 3.7k $ out of pocket for a 49.000 miles car is also crazy...
I zoned out after you brought up Elons political leanings. If you're basing what your purchases are based off the ceo's moral barometer is you may as well throw every thing you own out because 99 percent of other ceo's are the same way .
9:26 Elon Musk is not a Tesla. I am fairly certain that all people whose opinions I care about are able to make this simple distinction and won't blame me in any way for Musk's erratic behavior, just because I drive a Tesla.
Great review! I have to say the only reasonable criticism of Musk you gave was his political statements which in turn make the products a political statement as well, which an individual may not want to involve themselves with. Every other reason was just straight up lie from mainstream media or just nonsense. Great review nonetheless.
Too many people expect others to share their views of the world. Learn to accept them for who they are instead of who you think they should be because of your value system. If the biggest complaint you have is about the CEO of a company instead of the product, then that tells me everything about your values and views of the world.
when people say "i don't give a fuck what people think! i don't care about other people!!".. it means they give hella fucks.. we all know it's all bullshit. great review.
Normally love your videos but sad to see online political posts that don’t affect the product to change your opinion so much. I prefer the less bias videos.
He's literally running the company? And Musk has overtly tied his political beliefs to his business practices. Ofc you'll make judgment calls about the future of the company based off his behavior. Plus, he cites the actions Musk has taken as the CEO of Tesla in the video. Any review that doesn't mention the actions of the company when speaking about future updates, service issues, or the potential for future charging stations, wouldn't be a review worth a damn.
I agreed to everything you were saying until you started saying Elon was the problem with Tesla. What’s the difference with all these celebrities forcing their political views on us ? Elon was a democrat now he is a republican so what ?
Did you even watch the video? Tesla service is God awful in the last 3 cities I've lived in. Plus, he isn't criticizing the CEO; it's the fact that his impulsive and random decisions actively make our cars worse. The fact that this was your biggest takeaway from his review makes me think you’ve never owned a Tesla and that you’re just a Musk fanboy.
@alangwhiteTheBoss All of the reasons the youtuber said he disliked Elon was all related to his dodgy business decisions. literally nothing to do with US politics lmao
Nice video. I took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in March 🎉🎉 first EV. I absolutely love this car. I love the tech and minimalism they are both fantastic. I love having no stalks. The car literally puts a smile on my face every time I get in it. It is ridiculously fast. I will only buy Tesla. I do agree with your point of view as you do bring up valid issues especially with the CEO. There is no doubt Elon is a genius but sometimes he really should just keep his mouth shut. Phoenix AZ
Just watching this video, I don't think electric cars are worth it. Battery dies fast, especially during winter. Charging takes lots of time. Expensive repairs. Software security issues. And one of the main appeals of Tesla, self-driving is just not good enough to be useful. If I can't relax in my car, why the heck would I buy it? A regular SUV, you only need gas and yearly maintenance, way less stress in my opinion.
Aside from the cool software tech the main reason I am buying a Tesla is because of Elon Musk. I completely disagree with you. I appreciate him coming out with common sense, political viewpoints, and taking a stand. There are millions more like me who will now be buying his products the ones who don’t like it can get lost.
Here's where you're confused. These cars will become even more efficient the more renewable energy and nuclear energy we build. Compare that to gas where you can only get it by digging it from the ground.
Tesla has great future with or without Musk imo. And to me, Musk is simply more than just a CEO of his companies in mostly all the good ways. His top priority is the continued survival of humanity after all.
"It impacts how people view you driving a vehicle of that brand" Nah, for normal people it doesn't. You just outed yourself there. Can't believe you would think that is a normal thing to say.
My mom owns one I love to drive it but if you like to speed be prepared for speeding tickets please be safe and wear a seatbelt I’m just terrified of the fact that Elon may be able to control it while your in it that’s it maybe that’s a conspiracy I’m always skeptical but I may actually get one myself with my own money at 22 years old so that’s something too be proud of for me
I just got my first Model 3 with 100.000 km on it, or 62.000 miles. I drive a lot so i plan to have it 2 years and probably will sell it when its around 18.000 miles. Its a 2021 and it's an amazing Experience. I went from an Mercedes 2019 E-klass E400 which was a brutal machine in it's own, but after 6-8 weeks i can't see myself going back. The mercedes had loads of issues too which was disappointing considering the cost to buy and own and insure it. I will never buy an E-klass again if nothing extraordinary happens. With that said, quality wise it will be interesting to see if i still like my Tesla M3 in two years. I would guess i will if it dont keep breaking down. I hope the union blockade in Sweden against tesla stops soon, it's actually very stupid from the union side here, Tesla has'nt done anything wrong but they still get treated like shit here. I don't like the Swedish socialist union we have here, it's ancient and should be put down.
I use Microsoft Windows, but don't like Bill Gates. I use Apple products, but didn't like Steve Jobs. I drive a Tesla, but don't like Elon Musk. Enjoy what you like, ignore the politics.
2020 Model 3 RWD owner here with a 160-mile commute to and back from the office. My real-world 100% range is approximately 190 vs the 231 stated on the screen when i first purchased it. Been on a few long road trips and the stops at the superchargers were perfect for this old man's blader and bad knees. I recommend the long-range or performance if you can afford it for the longer range and few stops for longer road trips.
Thanks for your honest review. I have a model 3 on order and yes Elon does say some things which make me feel uncomfortable, however, without Elon there would be no Tesla and the associated other EV brands battling it out, not to mention Spacex and Neuralink.
Lol I live in the Raleigh area too and I’ve said the same exact thing about them having only one dealership and you can NEVER get a parking space, to add to that you can’t just park in the parking lot beside it where the sound system place is because they’ll tow you 😂
Blows my mind that he is holding the company hostage for $56B pay out. Verge - "Tesla CEO Elon Musk could leave if $56 billion pay package not approved, shareholders warned / ‘This is obviously not about the money,’ Tesla’s board chair writes - presumedly with a straight face." Blows my mind that he's doing that while actively weakening the company's FSD! WSJ - "Elon Musk Confirms Diverting Nvidia AI Chips Away From Tesla Musk’s AI plans have come under scrutiny after he threatened to take his ideas elsewhere if he isn’t given more ownership of the EV maker" I guess we will see next Thursday when shareholders vote! But would definitely recommend the Hyundai/Kia Corp for next EV. Very nice fit and finish and 800V charging. Switching to NACS in 2025 I think?
I'm not sure what Elons political views have to do with it being a good car or not. I'm not even sure what the point of bringing that up would be. 🤷♂️
Then you shouldn’t be buying anything since most of the celebrities/ influencers / politicians made pro liberal statements that destroyed our country in some way.. way before trump / Elon came into the picture!! I’m not a republican but I’m must say you are dumb!! Not an idiot but Dumb!! I own a tesla! It’s a far superior product out there in the market for the price. Get one man.
I want to second most people’s comments to your video, Elon has greatly increased my confidence in Tesla and X as well as the corresponding stock. This says a lot more about you and your political biases, than Elon’s.
Your comment also says plenty about your political bias. And this is exactly the point! Buying a car should not have a political statement attached to it.
@@jsac3939 I have 0 political bias on this matter, his video is political in nature, he hates Elon because Elon cares about free speech and the Tweeter (X) purchase. Keyboard generation doesn’t like that, they attribute that to “toxic masculinity”. I don’t care who you or he votes for, vote for whoever you want, just don’t tell me about it.

@@steve410 im getting it, used one. Low miles I’m waiting on charger now. It was this or a Prius but since I have a gas Honda now I figure I didn’t need the hybrid.
@@pasofino9583 lmk how you like it
You should try other electric cars.
I drove a model Y for a week, and I own a Ioniq 5, and all the cool features from are in the competitors too, Tesla has no particular unique features, and I find them better implemented in my Ioniq.
49.000 miles in six years??? You use it only in weekends?? I'm doing 40k miles in just a year and a half! And the majority of the cars here in Europe are doing 100k kilometers in 2-3 years...
7.5k $ repair cost and 3.7k $ out of pocket for a 49.000 miles car is also crazy...
I zoned out after you brought up Elons political leanings. If you're basing what your purchases are based off the ceo's moral barometer is you may as well throw every thing you own out because 99 percent of other ceo's are the same way .
fsd on highways do not hard breaks anymore ( with v13 fsd)
9:26 Elon Musk is not a Tesla. I am fairly certain that all people whose opinions I care about are able to make this simple distinction and won't blame me in any way for Musk's erratic behavior, just because I drive a Tesla.
bro. whining about elon. cmon
The chaos at the top has gone from bad to terrible. Thousands of potential customers are making other plans
Man i had a 21 M3P and AP was ghost breaking like crazy.
How did this go from car review to liberal ranting
There is a new Tesla Dealership in High Point if you feel like making the trip
Great review! I have to say the only reasonable criticism of Musk you gave was his political statements which in turn make the products a political statement as well, which an individual may not want to involve themselves with. Every other reason was just straight up lie from mainstream media or just nonsense. Great review nonetheless.
Too many people expect others to share their views of the world. Learn to accept them for who they are instead of who you think they should be because of your value system. If the biggest complaint you have is about the CEO of a company instead of the product, then that tells me everything about your values and views of the world.
Word!
What was the song used when you were reviewing the sound system???
The CEO makes me want to purchase a Tesla more than ever! I don’t give a crap what people think
So stupid to drag Elon into review. Are you serious? U are talking about a car ffs
exactly
Im watching this video cuz my father had bought one but at 6:40 i see a red gt86❤
Great review!!! I would be more tempted to look at a Tesla, if I felt it wasn’t making a political statement.
when people say "i don't give a fuck what people think! i don't care about other people!!".. it means they give hella fucks.. we all know it's all bullshit.
great review.
sales says otherwise
Or maybe you care & are in disbelief that others aren’t.
Wah wah wah, I'd buy another one, but I won't like it. 😂
I’d be rather perturbed by the amount they have access to you activity, who doesn’t like to break the rules and put their foot down 😇
This 15 minute video could have been done in under 5 minutes
Too much blabbing about nothing in particular
directly on Tesla for say sucks, like any other dealer just sucks - a indy can be even more helpful then the dealer.
Get politics out of it Dude. I stopped watching when your opinions on Musk started.
I bet he votes for kum-holla
100%
Super liberal for sure
Normally love your videos but sad to see online political posts that don’t affect the product to change your opinion so much. I prefer the less bias videos.
He's literally running the company? And Musk has overtly tied his political beliefs to his business practices. Ofc you'll make judgment calls about the future of the company based off his behavior. Plus, he cites the actions Musk has taken as the CEO of Tesla in the video. Any review that doesn't mention the actions of the company when speaking about future updates, service issues, or the potential for future charging stations, wouldn't be a review worth a damn.
Musk fanboy is sad, waaah waaah. Cry more, baldy.
I agreed to everything you were saying until you started saying Elon was the problem with Tesla. What’s the difference with all these celebrities forcing their political views on us ? Elon was a democrat now he is a republican so what ?
Imagine your biggest downside is criticising the CEO, lmao.
Did you even watch the video? Tesla service is God awful in the last 3 cities I've lived in. Plus, he isn't criticizing the CEO; it's the fact that his impulsive and random decisions actively make our cars worse. The fact that this was your biggest takeaway from his review makes me think you’ve never owned a Tesla and that you’re just a Musk fanboy.
It's very valid reason. He was %100 right about everything he said.
Yea this dude must like biden
@@NakedButAnonymouscite ur sources
@alangwhiteTheBoss All of the reasons the youtuber said he disliked Elon was all related to his dodgy business decisions. literally nothing to do with US politics lmao
No one complains when companies make pro liberal statements lol
Exactly! Which almost every company does.
Wonder why
@@jessewush5803Same reason the term “far left” is never used in the media. Everyone in the media are leftist do-gooders who think they’re the norm.
probably because pro-liberal statements aren't usually accompanied with racism and hate against the working class. but you do you.
Nice video.
I took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in March 🎉🎉 first EV. I absolutely love this car. I love the tech and minimalism they are both fantastic. I love having no stalks. The car literally puts a smile on my face every time I get in it. It is ridiculously fast. I will only buy Tesla. I do agree with your point of view as you do bring up valid issues especially with the CEO. There is no doubt Elon is a genius but sometimes he really should just keep his mouth shut.
Phoenix AZ
I doubt that I will ever utter the phrase "I love having no stalks." That is one of the biggest downsides in my mind: Lack of physical controls.
@@smileychess no stalks means you keep your hands on the wheel 😉
U said Elon is genius? LMAO! Polestar and other European EVs replace Tesla perfectly. Stay away from everything owned by Musk.
Just watching this video, I don't think electric cars are worth it. Battery dies fast, especially during winter. Charging takes lots of time. Expensive repairs. Software security issues. And one of the main appeals of Tesla, self-driving is just not good enough to be useful. If I can't relax in my car, why the heck would I buy it? A regular SUV, you only need gas and yearly maintenance, way less stress in my opinion.
Lol when I saw the picture of you the first thing that went through my mind was BETA 😂 lift some weights or something man lol
Aside from the cool software tech the main reason I am buying a Tesla is because of Elon Musk. I completely disagree with you. I appreciate him coming out with common sense, political viewpoints, and taking a stand. There are millions more like me who will now be buying his products the ones who don’t like it can get lost.
Man you are saying EVs take less time in charging then combustion engine to fill up 😂
The best thing about Tesla is that it's CEO is Elon Musk !
Are you the TPM Vids guy, your voice sounds identical.
I agree in that it does make a political statement. No lie told there. All your points were great
i have model y!
1:00 where does your electricity come from?
Here's where you're confused. These cars will become even more efficient the more renewable energy and nuclear energy we build. Compare that to gas where you can only get it by digging it from the ground.
Tesla has great future with or without Musk imo. And to me, Musk is simply more than just a CEO of his companies in mostly all the good ways. His top priority is the continued survival of humanity after all.
"It impacts how people view you driving a vehicle of that brand" Nah, for normal people it doesn't. You just outed yourself there. Can't believe you would think that is a normal thing to say.
My mom owns one I love to drive it but if you like to speed be prepared for speeding tickets please be safe and wear a seatbelt I’m just terrified of the fact that Elon may be able to control it while your in it that’s it maybe that’s a conspiracy I’m always skeptical but I may actually get one myself with my own money at 22 years old so that’s something too be proud of for me
I just got my first Model 3 with 100.000 km on it, or 62.000 miles. I drive a lot so i plan to have it 2 years and probably will sell it when its around 18.000 miles. Its a 2021 and it's an amazing Experience. I went from an Mercedes 2019 E-klass E400 which was a brutal machine in it's own, but after 6-8 weeks i can't see myself going back. The mercedes had loads of issues too which was disappointing considering the cost to buy and own and insure it. I will never buy an E-klass again if nothing extraordinary happens. With that said, quality wise it will be interesting to see if i still like my Tesla M3 in two years. I would guess i will if it dont keep breaking down. I hope the union blockade in Sweden against tesla stops soon, it's actually very stupid from the union side here, Tesla has'nt done anything wrong but they still get treated like shit here. I don't like the Swedish socialist union we have here, it's ancient and should be put down.
I use Microsoft Windows, but don't like Bill Gates.
I use Apple products, but didn't like Steve Jobs.
I drive a Tesla, but don't like Elon Musk.
Enjoy what you like, ignore the politics.
Very informative video. Probably has confirmed my view that I will get a Tesla Model 3.
2020 Model 3 RWD owner here with a 160-mile commute to and back from the office. My real-world 100% range is approximately 190 vs the 231 stated on the screen when i first purchased it. Been on a few long road trips and the stops at the superchargers were perfect for this old man's blader and bad knees. I recommend the long-range or performance if you can afford it for the longer range and few stops for longer road trips.
Sounds like you are in a good position to do a model 3 highland review including latest FSD.
Thanks for your honest review. I have a model 3 on order and yes Elon does say some things which make me feel uncomfortable, however, without Elon there would be no Tesla and the associated other EV brands battling it out, not to mention Spacex and Neuralink.
Lol so in a sense you can't buy a Mercedes BMW Volkswagen Honda etc because of whats their involvement in ww2
I stopped listening at 9:00 minutes
U.S - you can buy a tesla at Costco.
You havnt driven 50k in 6 years?
My sisters Model 3 always has issues with the voice commands not working.
No OIL Change ~~!!! Best EVER ~~~
I only care about the dog mode.
Lol I live in the Raleigh area too and I’ve said the same exact thing about them having only one dealership and you can NEVER get a parking space, to add to that you can’t just park in the parking lot beside it where the sound system place is because they’ll tow you 😂
Blows my mind that he is holding the company hostage for $56B pay out.
Verge - "Tesla CEO Elon Musk could leave if $56 billion pay package not approved, shareholders warned / ‘This is obviously not about the money,’ Tesla’s board chair writes - presumedly with a straight face."
Blows my mind that he's doing that while actively weakening the company's FSD!
WSJ - "Elon Musk Confirms Diverting Nvidia AI Chips Away From Tesla
Musk’s AI plans have come under scrutiny after he threatened to take his ideas elsewhere if he isn’t given more ownership of the EV maker"
I guess we will see next Thursday when shareholders vote!
But would definitely recommend the Hyundai/Kia Corp for next EV. Very nice fit and finish and 800V charging. Switching to NACS in 2025 I think?
This was a terrific review!
The garbage of 'EV sales are falling' is a LIE sponsored by GM/et al. BTW this writer owns a 2020 Model 03
I'm not sure what Elons political views have to do with it being a good car or not. I'm not even sure what the point of bringing that up would be. 🤷♂️
Good one to viw❤❤
Couldn’t agree more about Musk. At the moment he’s the only thing stopping me from getting a Tesla.
Then you shouldn’t be buying anything since most of the celebrities/ influencers / politicians made pro liberal statements that destroyed our country in some way.. way before trump / Elon came into the picture!! I’m not a republican but I’m must say you are dumb!! Not an idiot but Dumb!! I own a tesla! It’s a far superior product out there in the market for the price. Get one man.
I feel the same way.
It’s not electric it’s a battery car!!!!
Not buying a Tesla because of the CEOs political beliefs is incredibly sad 😂
I want to second most people’s comments to your video, Elon has greatly increased my confidence in Tesla and X as well as the corresponding stock. This says a lot more about you and your political biases, than Elon’s.
since when is being an asshole is a political statement
Your comment also says plenty about your political bias. And this is exactly the point! Buying a car should not have a political statement attached to it.
@@jsac3939 I have 0 political bias on this matter, his video is political in nature, he hates Elon because Elon cares about free speech and the Tweeter (X) purchase. Keyboard generation doesn’t like that, they attribute that to “toxic masculinity”. I don’t care who you or he votes for, vote for whoever you want, just don’t tell me about it.
I want to buy one because I love Elon! MAGA!
North Carolina is it nice?
Yes it is
It’s can be quite boring but very beautiful!
It’s alright
No. Not unless you get one that is higher off the ground. The roads are not that good and you with mess you power steering a lot if you don't.
Unsubscribed. No one cares about Elon, I watched the video to learn about the car.
Every political statement musk did made me want a tesla even more xD no dought
