Now, in terms of the actual driving and ownership experience…here’s the “Bad”
The first is with Super Charging.
Thankfully, I have yet to be in a situation where I’ve arrived at a Super Charger and it’s been entirely full. However, I’ve certainly been in situations where I’ve pulled up to a supercharger and taken the last spot…and then someone pulls up a few minutes later and has to sit there, waiting for 10-20 minutes waiting for something to open up.
Second, lets talk briefly about Range Anxiety.
This is the phenomenon where you worry about running out of a charge while driving, or wondering about whether or not you’ll have enough electricity to make it to your destination and back without running out.
And third…while we’re on the topic of super chargers…it definitely adds time to your trip.
The car will tell you that you’ll only have to supercharge for 10 or 20 minutes in order to give yourself enough battery to get to the next supercharger…but usually you never want to cut it that close, and the mileage the car tells you can be off by 5 or 10%.
Fourth: Entry
I’ve noticed that at completely random times, when I walk up to the car…it won’t open.
Fifth: Repair
It’s been decent the ONE TIME I’ve used it. They DID fix the car and they gave me a Model X P90D as a loaner car, which was REALLY nice. Plus, I’ve heard that Tesla will often will you a BETTER LOANER CAR than what you currently drive, just to give you a bonus “Tesla experience” and show you what you’re missing out on.
Sixth: Paying extra for Full Self Driving
I probably would’ve been a little upset had I paid $5000 for the full self driving option a year ago, and still not have been able to use it like initially advertised.
What I like:
First…Autopilot. It’s absolutely amazing.
After using it…I gotta say…the self driving feature is a better driver than 99% of people on the road. It keeps the car RIGHT in the middle of the lane, it’s avoided accidents from cars who have tried to merge into me, it keeps me going at the precise speed I set it to, and it makes the overall trip SO much more enjoyable.
Second, there’s absolutely something to be said about not having a gas powered engine.
That means I never need to stop at gas stations. I never need to worry about oil changes. Plus, electricity is WAY cheaper than gasoline, so it ends up saving me a ton of money.
Third: Tesla Car Insurance
Because Tesla understands how to fix their own cars, and fully understands their accident-avoidance capabilities…so they’ll insure it FOR YOU, for a fraction of the price.
Fourth: Ample Storage
It’s got a front trunk which is big enough for a small suitcase or a few bags of groceries. And then you have a massive back trunk…which turns into an even more massive trunk when you put down the back seats.
Fifth: The Tesla App
In here, you can set the car to begin heating before you even arrive…The app also allows you to lock or unlock your car remotely, anywhere in the world…Not to mention, for people like me who lose their car really, really easily because they forget where it’s parked…well, the app literally tells you where your car is located, and it’ll map you to its precise location.
Sixth: The center screen also turns into a TV in the event you want to watch RUclips, Netflix, or Hulu…
And when it comes down to it, driving and owning a Tesla is very much an “experience,” Once you get it, it’s hard to look at cars the same way, ever again.

Imagine if when you ordered your Tesla, it drove itself (free of charge) to your location and called you by name.
The future awaits.
Just like the UCAV in movie " Stealth "
Tesla : note that
That’s probably what they’ll do when it can legally drive and can charge itself
You would just pay for the electricity
That would not work, the vehicle needs some charge to drive.

while tesla did not released FSD preview it was hard to see how bad their car vision really is,

@@sddndsiduae4b-688 You seem to be confusing what the Tesla cameras can see & identify versus what the car displays on the screen. Just because its not displayed on the screen doesn't necessarily mean the car doesn't see it. Though just because the car can see it, that doesn't mean it will *currently* react beyond what it is currently advertised to do. There are boatloads of Tesla camera videos with the raw data overlay and its identifying pretty much everything in real time. That said, I had not seen the latest MobileEye tech - it looks pretty cool! Nice to see the competition for sure. Though I wouldn't say its much more impressive than "full self driving" demo videos Tesla has teased over the last year or two.

Thanks for being honest about the ‘issues’ with the car after owning it about a year . Really appreciate it when people can do updates !
"My car has no rust protection anymore in some critical areas, but they gave me a voucher for some free tesla merch so I took it"
Sounds like Fall Out 76 to me...
yes and he paid 150 dollars for floor mats instead lol!
In the Northeast that would really be a problem with the salt they throw down on the roads in the winter. That trunk would rust out in a couple years... forwarding this on to a friend that just bought one.
How does *plastic* rust????
@@slipprs__9383 the door jam isn't plastic bro
You bought it way too early. Production is better now.
I wonder how to Y's are turning out. They just started to get delivered last month I believe and usually all first gen Tesla models have issues.
Teslas still have issues. Just look at the "Real Tesla" subreddit
That's what every Tesla fanboy says. It's always the user's fault, never the car.
Then Elon should offer refunds for the earlier versions.
Indeed, now paint issues solved and steering wheels are falling off 😂
if someone told me that Elon Musk was in the bottom waiting to catch me i would jump
Thats sounds gayest thing ive ever heard lol
Gonna be late though
Luke Morrow LMAO
Lycan Thorpe Ok weeb.
He'd be there to catch you... He'd just be late. 😂
With windows closed, hold switches on the close position for 10 seconds. This will reset and relearn your window position sensors. Works on every vehicle.

I'd like to see your perspective of just how much money you can save driving an electric car over an equivalent gas car and how much you can make investing that savings.
Sure!
@Seawolf oh wow that's really nice. What country is that?
@@AqEppo wakanda
Gasoline is much more expensive in CA than in the rest of the country. This means that the savings outside CA are minimal to none. If you live in TX where gas is $2 there is no savings.
Zxc
Gas in California is quite cheap compared to the rest of the world, excluding Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries
in Australia, Japan and Europe you can expect $5-7 per gallon
Why would you ‘put up with’ serious paint defects, that ultimately protect the car from the elements? It’s brand new for goodness sake.
He said they buffed out. except the thin under part. I'm sure it has a seal coat.
All new cars. All new cars have paint defects. They are often corrected at the dealer. Teslas paint quality is not up to par with other $40,000 cars. It is more Subaru quality although the Tesla paint is thicker and the rust protection is far better than Subaru.
the car is made of aluminum so yes it doesn't rust easy lol
@@Deepwing Salt will do.

@@youngpavblo7255 but he’s rich and most people can’t buy a 35-50k car
Finally, first time I hear a fully honest review about quality and how much real mileages you receive!
Yeah I think this is the first one I've heard also.
I live in Portland Oregon with my performance model 3, and I run my heater at 70* on level 1. Seat warmers keep me warm so I have no issues staying toasty and I got 230 miles out of my 280mile charge in 5 days.
So a 50 mile loss for sitting overnights in cold freezing, idle, heating, autopilot, windshield wipers, seat warmers, music, Netflix, and that occasionally throttle punch to rush my blood... All while charging at home or at stores for free. I'll take it any day over gas cars 🤗. I've gone 1,100 miles since new, and haven't paid a dime for the commute.... But expensive initial car at $52k 🥴
Heated seats♥️ You really don't need as much heat in the cab with those on.
I live south of Portland but there's like no charging stations close by except down in Woodburn. Im not driving to Woodburn or Portland very often, I stay local. I think its ridiculous that there's hundreds of thousands in Clackamas county but no stations anywhere. Probably a smart move on Elons part because not as many people would buy one here, but still now nobody will and nobody has. Oh well I see so many of them when I do reach Portland or Salem area its funny because they are all model 3 garbage and they arent an expensive cool car anymore, they are a lame cheezy car. I remember back when Teslas were cool, but now they are just trash unless you live in the big city, but who even wants to live in the big city?
I could by a Toyota Camry and you’d never make the difference in gas. The Camry would always be cheaper over the entire life of the vehicle.
@@andrewrankin3434 maybe, but I also have free charging and also charge for free at stores and at the apartments for free. So I didn't spend a dime moving 20k miles
If you have an Android phone turn off "battery optimization" for the Tesla app and your phone key will work flawlessly.

You can do that... Lol
Thanks for the review. You're the first owner I've heard who advised not getting the enhanced auto pilot. I think you may have saved me some money.
bjadams44 well actually, it can generate you money in the future. And the price increases like twice a year. So if you decide on getting it now you could save some money in the future if you decide to get it later
@@cjk_02221 Depends on if you want it or not. I probably wouldn't even use it so it wouldn't be worth the money to get it. Resale value? Id hope if I ever get one I wouldn't sell it anytime soon or else it was a bad buy regardless
Riley Esmay you probably will use it, its pretty all encompassing. Plus you access to all new features coming out. Including the new rewrite thats now trickiling it

Everything wrong with your Tesla is that it`s not mine.
Lol
Greatest comment by far!
Tesla Dealer: There's a cheaper version that goes half a distance.
Graham: That's the one I want! Any free tires?
Hahaha
The thing about superchargers is it's only an issue in Los Angeles. L.A. has more Tesla's than any other U.S city, and to make matters worse there are far less superchargers in L.A. as there are in lets say Austin, TX.
Lol thats a sad story bruh
yeah my county in Oregon, RIGHT next to Portland has over 100,000 residents but guess what? 0 charging stations smh. IDEK how Elon can mess up that bad. Nobody in my county owns a Tesla, people are buying hybrids like crazy instead. But I guess that's Elons loss, we will stick to our cheaper gas, usually 50 cents to a dollar cheaper than Portland
Sorry I’m late!!! Was filming some commuter experience content!
Hahah lateness excused
Gotta love those 2 bus rides! Lol jk
No one cares
Ver Starr - The Commuter Experience gotta love someone who milks the same joke over and over until it’s not funny
@@BossMan_Jerm smh no need to hate
Should of added the clip where you said "I don't need the extra range miles" on your old buying a Tesla video
"but then i got another BRAND NEW PHONE"
me: bruh
well I mean a lot of apps purposely make them "optimized" for new phones. So if your phone is 2 years old it will be slow and 4 years forget about it. I cant vouch for the Tesla app, but I could only imagine they do close tot the same thing
Graham keep the Tesla app open at all times I had the same issue with the doors not opening too. Always have the app open and it will always open!
Good to know!
Graham needs to remake “here in my garage” but with his Tesla. And he has to say “You know what I like more than my Tesla model 3? Stocks. I love stonks”
And that’s why the Cybertruck is unpainted stainless. Paint shop eff-ups aren’t an issue when the truck doesn’t require paint!
Yeah, only a problem if the cybertruck gets any kind of damage that will be a huge pain to fix
And that's why instead of fixing the problems with the current models, they just dive into another crappy quality and people will say they love their tesla just because is electric :)
The guy who programmed the paint robot must not be a perfectionist, lol
Excellent video! The long range 3 also charges faster than the standard 3. You can charge 200 miles in under 20 min if you arrive with between 20 to 60 miles of range on the long range 3 when using the stage 2 150 kw Supercharger. The 250kw charger will be 40% faster.
I thought he said “two free socks!” and I was like “I’m in!”
You do if you sign up.
@@meistsyans6526 Sweet! Are we talking pure cotton or a blend?!
The next car I buy will be a Tesla, but I'm going to have to wait another 3 years so I get the full value from my current car.
Graham I know you may not see this cause this video was filmed a while back but you were in my hometown of gilroy ca when you were headed up to San Francisco. When your car started to release this “white smoke”. That’s awesome.

1. Look up how to pay taxes on dividends.
2. As long as you don't sell at a profit, you don't pay taxes on the stocks you own, they are considered property.
3. Don't put anything you're not willing to lose in anything other than safe things like an index fund. If it's all in index fund and you lose it, we have bigger problems.
I like mutual funds better, I opened an account with vanguard and love it
4:30 - unpainted sections of a car is NOT acceptable. Especially for a "luxury" brand like Tesla.
7:00 - A Tesla is completely impractical throughout the midwest due to the lack of chargers AND the weather.
9:37 - Another bundle of build quality issues ranging from the interior plastics and leather used, panel gaps, and etc.
11:15 - Self-driving is the only pro of buying a Tesla. Sad to see it's still not fully rolled out
Have you looked at the supercharger map lmfao it's not bad
Kinda late to the party here, but I would *really* appreciate a video of your experience with your vehicle/Tesla AFTER your warranty expires. Yeah, it'll be a while until that video comes out, but this is something that, as I understand it, is a problem with some Tesla owners.
I have to admit Graham. I've been watching you for a long time thinking I already subbed. Well after another look I'm now a new subscriber.

Ever since the model 3, I see a Tesla and think you broke lmao cant even afford a nice Tesla, only a shitty car
@@rileyesmay So you think people who buy Model 3 are broke because they are happy to settle with something less? What about people who buy Corolla instead of like Supra GR, are they broke too?

Graham reminds me of a younger, more optimistic Gilbert Gottfried.
I've been wanting a Tesla for like years! I can't wait till I can afford it (and when there's more charging stations in the east coast)
We've had our Model 3 for 7 months and never used a Supercharger.

Graham Stephan: *How I bought the whole world with 0 dollars*
Amen to Range Anxiety. I suffer with high anxiety to begin with, so adding something like “will I get to my destination without getting stranded” to the mix would drive me insane. My cousin leased a Leaf for a few years, and hers ran out of juice on her way home one day stranding her on the side of a major metropolitan freeway after dark. That’s not a place a female wants to be alone. No, until the electric car market explodes and there are chargers everywhere you look, I’ll stick with my gas guzzling Ford Explorer thank you.
I laughed way too hard at 13:02
gas stations will probably be a meme in the near future
"charging can be annoying"
"I don't have to stop at gas stations"
Do you even listen to yourself?
I think he means that about 99% of the time during day to day life he never has to stop at gas stations like everyone else and just plugs in his car at home, which saves a lot of time. But during long trips, that's when you spend extra time waiting at a charger that you may not have to if you drive a gas powered car. Maybe learn to understand more complicated, nuanced opinions.
Christopher Heinz 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
I can't recall him saying that. Maybe he got it out? In any event I wouldn't say that this guy gives the impression of being nuanced any way whatsoever. His high-paced, high-pitched nasally jump cut editing style leaves me with the impression of being raped by a car salesman.
My car easily does 600 miles between refueling, so with my driving i need to stop twice in a month to fill it up, that is max 10 minutes, but in reality less, as i pay with a card, at the pump.
There are literally thousands of petrol stations so i dont have to stop before the tank is almost empty.
With my driving pattern i would certainly have to stop multiple times a month at chargers so for me a combustion engine is way faster to get me from A to B
John Doe just charge at home
Tesla sure has a methodology a nickle and dime approach to get all the options that make it a more practical vehicle. This may not seem like a lot to you but for all us non-millionaires (I not throwing shade because you deserve it for all the hard work you have put in) but those "extras" are significant at my pay grade. I really like the cars but probably better off using one as a commuter car inside the city. BTW: the only way you are saving on gas is if you were already going to pay for a car in that price range. Otherwise, it's going to take a long time for the cheap electricity to make up for the difference in purchase price. Anyway, I hit "like" and enjoyed your review.
This review reminded me of the movie GUNG HO with Michael Keaton when they rushed making the quota needed in a month...LOL.
Yep!
2:34 those rubber seals would drive me insane on a brand new car
The door hinges are dry becaude they likely have robots spraying the whole vehicle. Ive been spray painting F150s for my assembly plant for 7 years and it takes a human factor to get tight crevices (We spray the interior). However the outside shell is sprayed with robots.
I heard that tesla's wear out their tires rather quickly. Have you replaced your tires in the year that you have owned yours?
Natural that tires would wear quicker because of the extra weight of an EV. However, considering there is no other maintenance when it comes to oil changes, brake pad changes, and the like, going through tires even a double rate isn’t as bad
@@mrpw1402 I know thats why I asked how his car was doing with that.
Michael yes
seriously contemplating getting a Tesla instead of the sports car I've wanted for 10 years Tesla would be just a little more, but id save a lot thanks for the video even though you're not a car channel definitely better than a lot of the reviews I've seen.
Yes, ICE cars are on their way out!
Look man, I understand if you're gonna run out of charge on a long trip due to unforeseen circumstances but you can't CHOOSE to buy a Tesla and then complain that you cant go on any long range journeys because you have a Tesla. Some of the issues were understandable, like the paint and factory defects but some of your nit picks were a bit unfair as well.
When you say "with the heater on full blast" does that mean at max heat? Or does the software let you set the climate control instead? Wondering what you consider a comfortable cabin temperature on your road trips.
Max heat on mid level!
This makes electric cars not sustainable in cold climates. Probably wouldnt want to own one if you lived in say Northern Quebec or Alaska.
Supposedly using the heated seats is easier on the battery, don't have one myself though and waiting for better options before going electric anyway, probably a few years at this rate.
It's not a issue with your phones or Tesla it's battery saving mode you have selected on your phone when no blue tooth devices around that is paired it goes in to a like sleep mode. Some times it works and some times it doesn't. At one point your phone gives up looking to see if your Tesla is in range and doesn't check till you unlock your device or turn blue tooth on and off. Smart watches or other Bluetooth devices like radios have the same issue.

So weird!! Good eye!
Surely encoding, especially on a consumer level program like iMovie
sometimes when i edit on iMovie it happens and it’s SOOO annoying !!
Graham Stephan Turn it into a poster. I mean, you could even call it “sandwich”
Teslas have advantages disadvantages. They have less maintenance than an ICE car, but they are NOT zero maintenance, as the Rich Rebuilds channel makes clear. Electricity is cheaper (for now) than gas, but you pay more for a Tesla. It would take a LOT of driving to make up the difference. ICE manufacturers have better QC--fit, finish, etc. They also have electronic features that are pretty much a match for Teslas.
The "lack of paint" on the back kinda looks like the glow from a light bar to me.
Also had the same service experience. Not their best virtue. My AC also went out. It took over a week to get the parts.BUT, they did allow me a loaner. When I asked them, why it took so long to repair, their response was” we lent you a car”. Not my point, but they truly are a bunch of innocents guys :)
Tesla Model 3 has been my favorite car, will never want any other car brand. Cybertruck will be the next vehicle that I will want to get to replace the gas guzzling minivan.
CEO of doing a review in the back seats
“Once you get it you cannot look at other cars the same way again” ... so true. Getting even a high end rental gas car feels like I’m back in the dark ages.
I actually rented a Model S because of commments like this. And while it did prove me wrong about some of my prior concerns, I was very happy to be back in my Mercedes after the weekend with the Tesla. It costs more than my Mercedes but is less comfortable than the Ford Focus of my friend. At the same time I was expecting that the autopilot would blow my mind. Instead it felt like a slightly more refined version of drive assist systems on my E-class. It is better at staying in lane and it does not ask you to touch the steering wheel that often. It “tricked” me into thinking that it is actually smart. But then it almost made me crash on the highway where it kept accelerating in the turn beyond allowed limit. Overall it feels like a beta testing product. But maybe it’s just me
MrAchilles1984 I think it's just the overall experience you get used to after owning it for a few weeks that makes it better than other cars. For example, in the morning I wake up, get ready for work, walk out to the car and it's already warmed up (starts warming automatically shortly after my alarm goes off to my set temp and turns on seat heater to my setting). Navigation to my work is also automatically turned on waiting for me as soon as I step in the car. Everything is just automatic and done for you, it makes for a very pleasant experience.
I'm also now used to the single pedal driving mode where braking and accelerating are done with one pedal, so the car is much more in control (you don't have to move your feet around as people speed up and slow down, it's just a simpler experience). That combined with the instant response of the motors makes moving the car around in traffic on the highway very quick and precise. And then when traffic gets really bad you put it on autopilot and let it handle nearly everything including changing lanes and taking exits (some better than others to be fair). And it's honestly really nice driving in silence with no engine noises or vibrations.
Then when I get home at the end of the day I just plug my car in and it's ready to go for the next morning. No gas stops to have to think about is seriously so nice.
And not to mention the OTA updates which bring genuinely useful (Sentry mode is amazing!) and fun new features that keep the car feeling fresh. It's honestly exciting getting a notification that a new software update is available.
All of this is what makes owning these cars like none other, but you really have to own it in order to realize how/why it's so great and why it makes it hard to look at other cars.
I never expected it but after owning my Model 3 for a year now and 50k maintenance free miles, I'm converted. I don't plan on buying any car other than Tesla's from here on out.
That's a great video, but the problem with the Tesla not opening is not Tesla's fault but rather you phone's, it probably closes the process in order to free memory and this makes it not open so I'd go into your settings and check that up, let Tesla run in background and autostart always and that should fix it!

Where are you sitting? That aint a seat. I am confusion.
On the handbrake.
2:42 Engineering Explained!
I haul the cars... next time you have a problem unlocking the car put the card against the door frame between the front and back window. The yellow marker light on the front fender blinks once for lock twice for unlock.
You need to do a ‘file my taxes’ video. I have rental property and need a guide
Sure!
My 2013 Honda CRV has never required any repairs whatsoever. None, nada, nicht,..... that's right....nothing has ever broken or failed to function on my 7 year-old CRV. Sure it needs oil changes once per year, wheels rotated, one front-end alignment, air filters changed, oh and after 5 years I had to buy a new 12v car battery. But that's it! I stop and buy gas about twice a month. I never have to worry about running out of fuel, or unexpected repairs. You think for one minute I'm going to pay $50,000 for an electric Tesla? BTW I don't make it a habit to "zone out" while driving. That's a very bad habit to get in to IMO. Especially in L.A.
I'm all for "first testers", though I think Imma wait for a while with Tesla
same especially because there's not nearly enough stations yet. I am not even including the fact that they are backed up, I'm talking about whole counties not having stations is very lame. My county of over 100,000 has 0 stations. And as far as I know the McDonalds ones don't work right? Lame Tesla cmon get better
The fact that you didn't say "quirks and features" multiple times is unfortunate and you owe Doug Demuro an apology.
About 1 year later, the self driving is now $10,000 in 2021. Let me check this again in another year.
Love how fanboys start by saying they're not fanboys :D
Royal Obsidian lol so true ...Elon Musk lovers
does anyone else get Tom Holland vibes from Graham 😂
Haha I’ve gotten that before
he looks like Elon Musk Jr. imho.

They should create an optional additional battery that can be kept in the trunk and you can recharge the vehicle in case the battery is drained and you’re not nearby a charging station
I find your comments and decisions about your Tesla faults fair and the right thing to do. No matter what car you will buy, there will allays be ups and downs (except Rolls-Royce Phantom )
I'm not a Tesla fan but... will you buy a Kia e-Niro instead for the same price???
Tesla. It's like a car, only better. I got my model 3 in mid July 2019. It had none of the flaws mentioned here and all the benefits.
Ullrich Fischer it’s not car... it’s a computer on wheels...
Only flaw is if you don't have a home charger... Oh and FSD ghost breaking ... Dangerous !!!
I just watched 3 mins of adds for you 😂😂
Thanks!! :)
@@GrahamStephan But without a click, it's mostly not worth anything
0:16 VIN: SMASHTHELIKEBUTTON 🤣 You gotta have Rich Rebuilds on
Wow! Tesla insurance is $125/mo?!? State Farm is insuring me at $95/mo in TX! That's with $250 comprehensive deductable and 50$ collision decuctable! Guess I won't complain.
When you use ad revenue to pay for the maintenance costs
No maintenance costs :)
@@GrahamStephan everything needs maintenance. Think of it as a condemned house when you don't maintain it
8:41 Wait, you named the car Batman? You fricking legend!
Graham never disappoints! Haven’t even watched it yet and already know it’s amazing lol
Thanks!! :)
What I dislike about Tesla is ... interior looks very plain. I really miss some buttons and less touch screens. A buddy of mine (who drives S model) is complaining about tyre wear?
Actually, I arrived at my destination with like 3 miles many times.
It's easy to adjust your consumption, just lower the eat, decrease the speed and you're good to go.
The only problem I have is right now when my onboard charger is broken. I'll have to wait until next month for my service appointment. Until then I cannot do AC charging, so my only option will be DC charging at the supercharger. It's both more expensive and also inconvenient.
Also, it's alright you took the 200$ for the paint. But you should have told them to take off the other cars and have them fixed or have them inform the customers about it. Now they probably won't be doing anything about it.
That's my favorite color combo. I love green accents on black paint.
I pay $11 per month for insurance on my Volvo 244. I repainted it myself w/ house paint (literally the same exact paint that's on my house, so I had it anyway). the windows and door locks are manual, so no issues there. it doesn't have a computer, and it was built with maintenance via normal tools in mind, so I can easily fix everything myself. the only thing I've ever had a shop do was press a few bushings and mount and balance tires.
I've done a few things to it to improve fuel economy, like disable the power steering (which it doesn't need, because it's not a heavy vehicle), and add vortex generators in key locations. together these improved my fuel economy by about 20%. considering it's still running an early redblock that means it's only getting about 22mpg on slightly hilly city streets now, but considering how easy they were to do to the car, and the fact that that brings it up to a fuel economy comparable to the '99 Ford that it replaced (the Volvo's a '79) that's a huge improvement.
oh yeah, and I can't lose my car in a parking lot because nothing looks like it thanks to 1) the fact that it's 41 years old, and 2) it has a custom 2-tone paint job (the lower half is still the original paint, the top was all weathered away which is why I painted it) and big vortex generators sticking out of the roof.
Why is there no alternator being charged as the car drives powering all the electrical without draining the main battery?
Are u serious or just trolling?
