Someone get this man a performance model!
Mann someone get this man to test a model s plaid i would love to see his reaction lol
Wish you were in my area I’d let you use my X plaid
yeah the performance can beat almost all the vettes. Most of the S's will beat all the vettes. Plaid is not necessary. Dragtimes is good site to see the real times.
And track mode to disable traction control. Have fun burning rubber!
Beat me to it! I had an early AWD, and it was great. Swapped to perf and it's legit nutty. The only thing is, You need a second set of winter tires because it comes with sport summers, haha.
I want this guy to try a plaid
He’ll be VERY disappointed
@@orange_turtle3412I can see every comment you post under this channel, and my god, teslas really live in your head rent free lmao.
@@Moyai3499 As far as I know this is the only video ive ever even watched from this channel.
@@orange_turtle3412 and in that case, you have left 7 or 8 comments under this post alone.
Oh he won’t be disappointed I have one !! Fastest car for 65k I’ve owned
I had a 15 minute test drive of a Tesla and was changed forever. I'm now the proud owner of a Model 3 Long Range that I immediately drove from Melbourne to Brisbane and back - over 4000 Km - and loved every second of it! It is a thing of beauty and goes like a scalded cat. With 600Km range and chargers everywhere even in Australia range anxiety is no longer a problem.
I'm a proud Model 3 Performance owner from Germany myself. 450km are realistic if you drive slowly. (350km in a severe Winter)
If you drive more sporty it will take you less far. But remember in Germany you can drive as fast as you want so if I want to drive 200km/h at the Autobahn I can do it. (And it's not very common that an electric car can do that)
It's extremelly impressive nevertheless.
I love the car and never want to go back to gasoline.
@@JackoBanon1 Did you know from the beginning that you wanted the Model 3 Performance, or did you test drive other Model 3s first? I am interested in a Model 3 Standard Range or maybe a Long Range so far.
@@glenhardy4770 I'm in my 30s and very successful in my job right now so I wanted to reward myself. (with the best Model 3) That's why I have chosen the M3P. I was always interested in EVs, though and always wanted to own one myself. Back in 2014 I test drove many electric cars but 100-160km of range convinced me that it's too early for that. From 2014-2021 I drove a Toyota Prius to give you a picture.
But last year I had the money and opportunity to finally order one so I did it.
I actually would have ordered a Standard Model 3 or Long Range instead. I just had the money to get the Performance instead and wanted the extra special so I did it.
But I can tell you that you will have fun with every version of the car. The Performance has much more punch if you floor it but I do it 4-5 times in a month to get the thrill and then drive normally again.
The rest of the car is basically the same and the Long Range comes pretty close if you buy the acceleration boost later. (3.8s instead of 3.3s for 0-100km/h)
@@JackoBanon1 Thank You VERY much for your story! Very Much Appreciate it! I love Deutschland! I lived outside of Stuttgart back when it was West Germany and have been sorry I left. Several of my Air Force friends married German women and stayed to retirement. I will take your story to heart and broaden my research to include the Performance Model 3. 😀
I love to hear this. So much love for Tesla’s in Australia. Now ScoMo’s gone perhaps Aussie’s will get some of the barriers to ownership dropped, especially in Victoria. Here in the UK they’re EVERYWHERE and I look forward to being able to rent a Tesla from Brisbane airport the next time I’m there.
I used to deliver for an oil company and everyone there was either anti-EV or at least very skeptical. Every person I took for a ride in my Model Y Performance absolutely loved it.
Until they looked at the gaps in the panels etc.
@@ngc-fo5te Neither of my Model Y's have any panel gap issues.
@@chevrofreak Congratulations on being a lucky one. Some of the Teslas I have seen recently (and my nephews personal experience) the cars have been an embarrassment.
@@ngc-fo5te I’ve owned a few, and none are as bad as my new GMC trucks…another BS complaint
@@modlife Don't buy GMC then.
This is how Tesla sells cars without spending a dime on advertising.
When my neighbor got his Model 3 last year, he took eight of his neighbors for a test ride. Definitely gave them a bit of an education and change of opinion on Tesla EVs.
My dealer let me take one home overnight for a test drive. YMMV but I asked near the end of the day and they were like, "Sure, have fun!" I had to bring it back by opening time the next day but it was a blast!
Do you know how much a replacement battery is?
@@ricksomething A LOT but you'll probably never need to replace it. My (1.5 year old) battery pack and motors are under warranty until 2029 or 120,000 miles - whichever comes first.
@@ricksomething
The price today doesn’t matter since battery warranty is 8 years/100k miles.
Current price is down to $132/kWh from $1200/kWh in 2010. Scaling of manufacturing has pushed costs lower and lower.
@@ricksomethingdo you know how much a similar power engine costs to replace?
I have a 2015 Model S that’s covered almost 170,000 miles and it’s still on it’s original brakes. They look about half worn. Keep up the good work and keep getting those butts in seats!
Teslas have the opposite problems as ICE cars, they use the brakes too little and they might rust. That is why they added a percent of blending in brakes.
How has the battery been?
@@bind777 The batteries are great...read reports by fleet owners of Model 3’s regularly exceeding 500,000 miles on the original battery (and of course they’re warranted by Tesla for 8 years and 70% charge, right?).
@@johncahill3644 Mine had new discs (rotors) and pads all round at 25k miles. Pitted, scratched and rusty from not being used. Personally I would have left them, but lease company paid. Lesson is: make sure to use the friction brakes regularly or they'll need replacing from under use. Final thing to mention: they're very expensive. £1200 fitted on the Performance version.
What about your battery? Replaced? Was it covered under warranty?
We need more channel like this. Too many FUD out there.
The non confrontational nature really works.
TBH, I'm surprised at how easily your test drivers take the 'true' information about EVs in general and Teslas, specifically. You do a great job of getting the information across in a non-defensive way and you're very well informed and can provide specific data sources, which most of them likely cannot. I think about my father-in-law and other politically conservative people I know and I just can't see them buying the true information without pushing back. That said, 'the launch' gets 'em every time. Keep up the great skeptic conversion videos.
Thank you, Jeff! I truly appreciate it! Thank you for watching!
I like that he does not correct them BEFORE the test drive. The truth is easier to swallow while having fun!
If you want to burn out / drift, you can unplug one of the wheel sensors on a front wheel ruclips.net/video/nffkfHxdrQc/видео.html
He knows them, that helps. Wish more of them would figure this out.
Not sure what political orientation has to do with it both party's have relentlessly attacked Tesla due to their oil funded programming, and heck the current administration didn't even invite Tesla to the EV summit... puppets the lot of them. I find that in general people from both parties have this weird media induced aversion to Tesla and electrification in general they go off on weird easily countered arguments like you see here.
Let's put it this way, I didn't buy my Tesla Model 3 Performance to save the planet - friends that I've taken for a drive and some whom I've let drive (they need to love driving) come away either laughing maniacally or with big smiles on their faces and all have realized this is the future. Some even order them the same day. Also, most of the time when I see FUD about Teslas I'm that annoying guy who counters the lies with facts. 🙂
My favorite part about my model 3 is instant torque, always on where I can open the window without having to put my car in accessory mode, watch movies, play games, always full of charge in the morning, pano roof, sound system, auto pilot, regenerative braking, I can go on and on. I used to be ver picky about buying a new car. There are many features that is not in the model 3 like turn signal on side mirror, blind spot warming, power trunk( mines 2018 so I don’t haven’t it), great looking grille, interior lighting, cool rims etc but once I’m in my model 3 all this doesn’t even matter. When a car makes you not care for things you once cared about it means the car is incredible.
I wish it were feasible to own an ev where I'm at. Its too expensive to own or rent a house where i could charge cheaply, so the 2 public charge stations cost as much as gasoline 🤷🏻♂️
You need to find someone to take him for a ride in a plaid. He would be a lost for words
He would have explosion in the back of his pants.
Honey I'm selling the corvette, getting me a plaid 😎👌🏻
Bro! I’m so excited, yesterday i ordered my 2022 Model 3! Should have it in 2 months! I watched couple of your videos and really love how you making haters/people that never drove one, to say wow! Or seeing their reaction! I never drove one but I can def say I’m hyped! So glad I came across this channel so early! Let’s enjoy your growth with more amazing videos!! Great damn job my brother! 💪🏼💪🏼💙
Hate to break it to you but youre gonna be waiting a little longer than two months. Buckle up!
@@dieniewienie143 well it might be 3 from now. Are they so off? Like off from what they saying on their site?
More like 4-5.. That date they gave you throw it out the window.. Until you see a 2 week window it doesnt mean anything. The wait is worth it though
@@slxnova8106 let’s see!
Depending on which version you get. You can get a Performance within 2 months depending on the color.
Any other model will take longer
When you smoke the tires, you are losing the grip on the road and the acceleration reduced. Teslas do not allow the tires to break loose from the road, keeping the acceleration to a maximum.
Yeah it's simple physics the car accelerate fastest when tyre is in traction the whole time. Last time I checked all 4 wheel are independently traction controlled 100 time a second so once it lose traction on a particular tyre it will dial-back the power on that wheel after 0.01 second till it finds traction again. And that's one of the reason how it accelerates so fast.
What’s cracking me up is that was a LR. Put him in my 2022 Performance and then his mind is truly blown. I goose my car at least once or twice daily to feel alive. I’ve come up to stoplights with a few different “badass muscle cars” beside me and felt like I needed to go back and apologize. It’s so damn fun.
Loving these test drives. Butts in seats gets it done!
Since 1990 I've own a Thunderbird SuperCoupe, Z28's, a 35th Anniversary SS and two Corvettes. Took a test drive in a Model S in 2015. Now I've had a 2016 Model S 90D, 2019 Model S Performance and now a 2023 Model S Plaid. I think if every car guy drove a Tesla for a week they would have one within a year :)
Now I want to pretend to be a Tesla skeptic and get a free ride so I can "learn" how cool they are.
Kevin, Drop by any local Tesla Service Center. They will allow you to do a 30 to 45 minute test drive by yourself... Or if you do not have a local Service Center, check with the local Tesla Club. I am sure that one of the members would take you for a ride..
Or check local rentals. Hertz here rents the Model 3 for $76 per day, unlimited miles, not hobbled, and no extra fees if you need to charge. I’ve been doing this for family road trips lately. It makes them even more fun (as the guy who usually does the driving) and you really get to know the car. It solidified my choice to buy an EV next.
Or you can develop some sanity and be a REAL tesla skeptic. Because this company deserves all the skepticism on planet earth.
I want to be a skeptic in their upcoming 4680 Roadster 🔥
2021 Tesla Model 3 Model with acceleration boost is between 3.5s and 3.7s. Otherwise it is 4.2. Performance is between 3.0 and 3.2.
This is the way
look at this. people enjoying a car for what it is instead of complaining because of a logo. I love this video
Thank you!
I like this guys authentic reaction.
“So what you do is pair your phone and turn on the car”
“You what.”
Reminds me of when I first got a Model 3 and told my parents to drive it with no explanation.
“This is a different world here” Love it! Happy to see you giving people the opportunity to learn facts and experience how fun they are!
This skeptical driver is like the perfect person to convince people to give EVs a second look
Unfortunately, everything has become politicized which predisposes some to be skeptical without any information. I drive a long range and use it to drive Uber. I’ve converted a lot of skeptics. Recently we had several weeks of 90 degree temperatures. Because I ran the a/c all day my range was reduced by approximately 20% which is comparable to a gasoline powered car but at a much lower cost overall. I owned a 1967 Vette with 427/435hp engine for almost 30 years. The only speed range where it rivaled my model 3 was 50-120.mph. Handling goes to the model 3 and the ride is easier on your internal organs. I prefer a sports car that rides like a luxury car. My Vette had manual steering with a steering wheel the size of one found on a school bus. That’s probably better but parallel parking it wore me out physically. The Vette was prettier but I’m biased towards the look of 60’s cars.I forgot to mention that it averaged 8-10 mpg $$$$
I will never under any circumstances own a tesla. Absolute pieces of shit.
Re: media coverage: Tesla doesn't advertise. ICE car companies advertise, so if you own a newspaper or magazine, you'd rather print nice articles about companies that advertise....
This is the reason these cars sell themselves. And people who say they wouldn’t buy one have never tried one out!
Last year right after picking up our new Model Y LR we were cruising down the interstate at around 70 miles an hour and got in a sticky situation with a couple of semi‘s, stepped on the accelerator and quickly got out of there, when my wife exclaimed holy shit you’re going 103. It is one smooth, fast ride!
QUICK---NOT FAST
"I'm not going to use words to convince him, I'll let the car do the talking" ...immediately uses words to convince him. 😆
40 year old, 2021 Model 3 Standard Plus Driver- EXTREMELY IMPRESSED by every aspect of the car. Nothing like it but Mercedes new Electric SUV looks Spectacular.
In track mode on track day I got 80 miles of range out of a full battery in my model 3 performance. But I was the fastest car out that day!😃
@@miff227 about $5...if that much
@@miff227 take around $3-5 to charge the battery...how you use that charge is irrelevant
@@miff227 we don't worry about the $/kWh here. we worry about miles/gallon...or you may see it as kilometers/litre.
@@miff227 yeah, i read about the energy crunch you guy are having, hard enough when it's $7-8/ gallon normally...USD hopefully something will get done soon.
After driving your Tesla for a while getting back into an ice car must feel like stepping back into the past
nope, ice cars still drive way better on race tracks like Nurburgring. Also I guarantee you ICE cars are still able to toss you back into your seat. I have a 2.9 second 0-60 750 hp corvette
@@Gamesso1slO0l I think you misunderstood, I was referring to the difference in technology. As far as track racing goes, which ever car is set up best for the track and conditions will perform the best on that day anyone who has raced cars knows this, it has nothing to do with which type of engine is powering it.
@@chrisharris1522 Exactly. 0-60 times don't mean squat on a racetrack. Maybe only on the straights. A race is won in the corners. The car that is set up properly for the *entire* track, with the same driver, will be the fastest.
@@chrisharris1522 The past isn't horrible though. My Model S is both boring and very scary. Mostly, it's a fancy golf cart really; but it does an awful lot to help out a driver.
On the other hand, my Miata has very little conveniences. But the driving is so much more involving.
I'd love to take either out on a track, but I might want a roll cage installed in the MX-5 first.
@@Taurencowpew yep the past wasn't horrible, I love the sound of V8s 10s and 12s but then I love the sound of birds too, during the covid lockdown the birds returned to the city it was pretty special, and gave a glimpse at what the world could be like if we stopped belching toxic smoke into the air.
I appreciate that these first timers are not sticking to their guns about what they've been told and seem to keep a mature open mind. Don't forget mention you can get an extra 50HP just by opening the app and upgrading to Performance Boost.
the problem with people who are against the current BEV is the very fact that the car can be control with the touch of a bottom from the company u get the car from. at the touch of a bottom they can limit ur battery to what ever they want. they can easily similute a battery failure for u and limit ur perfectly good battery to only charge to said 60% and tell to to buy a new battery to fix it. at the touch of a bottom, they can limit the power deliver to ur motor and said u ahve a motor failure and reconment u to buy a new motor. we have seen how greedy adn currupt corperation is and given them easy access to simulate any failure to ur car at the touch of a bottom from their computer really turn a lot of the older generation away. people who buy BEV from said tesla really put their life in telsa hand.
imagine said some terrorst group hack tesla mainframe, then turn off regenerate braking and brake on the car. since tesla is alway online and alway sync with it server, a simple virus can really cause un-imaginable damage and harm.
@@yia01 You really need to get out more. Maybe get your own bottom touched once in a while? 🍑
😂
@@yia01 Have to know the hardware addresses and infrastructure of any computer controlled system before any hacking can get done. In other word inside information from OEM design from there you develop a remote control setup. Then get past the security key setup, as well as the hash to get into the system. This would take Months to develop. Once caught by law enforcement you spend the rest of your life unplugged from tech. It has been done as shown on the news with full inside information and OEM help. These cars are networked so well that thieves stay away from them, lowering insurance for them.
It's always fun to point out that the piece of metal between the engine and passenger compartment of an ICE car is called a "Firewall".
If this guy thinks the LR is amazing, I can't imagine how he would react if it were a Performance 3. I originally test drove a LR and was sold, but wanted to take a Performance out, so the service manager let me drive his. Well, I can say I proudly own a 2020 Model 3 Performace with 50K miles on it and haven't looked back since. It simply is the best vehicle I've ever owned.
True, the AWD makes it more difficult to do burnouts, but the main reason is the fact that the car applies a much power to each wheel as it can WITHOUT the wheel losing traction and beginning to slip on the pavement. This way, all of the power is used to propel the car forward rather than wasting some of it on rubber burning. This is a big reason why they accelerate so rapidly.
Plus you can put the car/traction into ‚slip mode‘ so that the torque is not controlled.. And then you should be able to burn tires - if that is what makes Iron Guy sleep better ;-)
True. With launch control, internal-combustion engines just can't apply the full torque to all wheels as well as electric motors. Traction control is better, and you can do more with less horsepower because there is no lag. But even without burnouts, you put amazing stresses on the tyre (tire?) And they are not cheap.
Not true😅 but ok
@@gabriellakmYes it is true lol , these electric motors can change the power they gave out 10000 times in a second , that is why you don't see electric cars slip at launch , obviously when you are going lower than 2 sec/100km/H you will have some kind of slip cause of phisics but electric drivetrain is just superior in many level
Probably saves on tire wear too.
I let most of my muscle car buddies drive my model 3 perf.
My tip is... one pedal driving is like leaving it in 2nd or 3rd...its like engine braking without the noise. They usually do pretty good with it after that.
Exactly what I say, that’s the really easy explanation.
He's impressed with the acceleration. Consider this... that's with hauling an *easy* 750 to 800lbs. Those guys are not slim!
Even that is probably unnoticeable in any higher performance car though. Throw an extra 800lbs in a Corvette, and you won't notice unless using timers.
I love this type of guy. Open minded and straight up when presented with with reality.
I had a 2016 corvette 7 speed and it was fast and low. Now I just picked up a 2019 M3LR with AB and the torque is unreal!
I love this guy and how down to earth he is.
I love what you're doing. So much negative news out there about EV's. I love my Tesla model 3 and use it to get out mountain biking all the time.
There is so much neg news instigated by the influence for fossil fuel industry. Playing on the division of society.
I used to travel to the US a lot and I would rent Corvettes and other cars which are unobtanium here because of the 180% car tax. We had just 25% tax on EVs and when I tested the model 3 for an hour and drove back to Tesla, I got the same feeling as when I had to drive back to the rental with the corvette before flying home that I didn’t want it to end. So even though the model 3 was a tad expensive for me, it was possible so I went for it. Only down side is less money to travel to the US but I have a car I like to drive and the 40 minutes to work are never a chore. It is also to best stereo I have so I feel like I don’t spend enough time in my car now.
Also I looked a buying a corvette here and with import and special taxes. It was more like $200k
Welcome to the Future Friend. and for the record Corvettes will have a special place in my heart.
He needs the performance and track package and turn the rear loose
This is becoming my favorite channel. I love these skeptic-conversion videos.
I have a friend with a C8 corvette and he took my Performance 3 for a quick spin and he came back saying he had no idea they had so much power so readily available. When you step on the pedal in a corvette you have a second to think about what you just did a the noises and ramifications of pushing that pedal down. In the Tesla, by the time you've processed what is going on, you are 100 yards down the road doing 60mph
Headlights are about 40 watts per hour and the hvac is about 400 watts if im not mistaken. The battery has 55,000 watts so will take a few hours to empty the battery ;)
My performance Model 3 in track mode is such a beast, that I am scared to turn it on. I used it once, and holy shit!
Having had 2 long ranges and now a performance version... there's a massive difference... get him in the performance version and he'll be mind-blown.
I have a long range, a friend of mine have a performance. Since i got the acceleration boost on my long range, there is not much difference now to be honest in the 0-60 torque. Ofcourse performance is better overall, but for a drag race the difference is minimal.
You need to get a Model 3 Performance and you can put in track mode. Then you can do a 4 wheel burn out. Or front or back.. all adjustable.
I took a friend of my father's for a ride in a model S P100DL.... We stopped on a straight stretch of road and I told him to put his head back into the head rest... he grinned and said "really?" Yup.... Straight to 120mph.... he grew up with the muscle cars of the 60's and is a big vette fan.
Keep up the content man - spread the word - get rid of all this media crap regarding Tesla's! I hope your channel gets huge man!
These Videos are some of the most fun Tesla videos to watch. Real People with Real Reactions.
Don't test drive a Tesla unless you're prepared to buy one. After I went in for a test drive, I just had to have one even if I could not justify the cost.
Love these videos, impressed how you can draw out their honest opinions & have them be open-minded.
I have a "slow" LR-RWD w/ ~5sec 0-60, and thought it was fast enough, ModelS AWD loaner blew my socks off... too fast!
Then I checked and realized, even my "slow" model 0-60 time still beats my teen dream Lamborghini Countach from the 80s...!
(and my brother's R1T PICKUP, beats most CURRENT Lambos!! sub-3second!! for a TRUCK!)
I have the 2022 performance and the take off never gets old
I own a 2022 Tesla model 3 Long Range and love the acceleration and regenerative braking ❤❤❤❤. Such a thrill to drive. I also love watching movies in my Tesla😊
Nice, I've done that also. My power went out one night last winter but my 3LR kept the heat going like a champ and I watched a few old Clint Eastwood films. I hope Tesla adds the ability to power your house from the car in that kind of situation, like the Ford Lighting and the Korean models. Either way, I'll never go back to an ICE car.
Him saying “oh my God!” (or god) in a raised voice says it all! He is lucky to know you in order to get a courtesy ride in / chance to drive your Model 3. I live in Madera California and there are more Tesla Model 3s and Ys now than back in the spring. They all seem hesitant to speak to me about their car. I visited the Fresno Tesla Dealer but all the Saleswoman let me do was sit in a Y for a few minutes. Your videos are very encouraging!
Ya gotta love this kind changing venture of a Tesla owner here doing for this skeptical vet owner here . They say knowledge is power n
Great video, Great content, your videos are so easy to watch from start to finish. TB: As a Corvette owner what are your thoughts on the acceleration? Iron Will: I'm not saying anything right now. Translation: Soul Snatched!
“Soul Snatched!”
With the Performance and Track Mode u could technically burn tires :D
Thank you for this! I truly didn't know that; and now I can educate myself on it in case the question comes up again! Thank you for watching!
@@TeslaBarbarian You can even move a slider from 100% front to 100% rear and do donuts like no other car outthere, if that should be fun though.
Yes, SirCookie, you could burn the tires, but when you do that, the acceleration is lower because your grip on the road is reduced.
Smoking might impress the girls, but that and reduced tire life is all you are going to get when you do that.
@@Garrison169 well obviously tires go down quick but to that point i was just referring to Barbarian that u can indeed do that whith a Tesla M3P ;)
I personally own a P and i would never do that^^
@@SirCookieYTPanda SirCookie, there are many vids on RUclips of people doing acceleration runs in a Tesla and not once have I heard the tires break loose.
I like this guy. Really understated. That's the kind of guy that you can almost always believe. Thanks for the video.
"Butt in Seat" is the *BEST* advertising for a Tesla. I got my "BIS" 13 years ago in a demo ride of the Roadster V1 and never looked back. This good ol' boy in the video would SH*T if he got a demo in the Plaid S with a 2 second 0-60 rip. Rearrange his innards. He would FOR•GET his COR•VETTE 🇺🇸
I love these videos! Thanks Barbarian!
I just got a 2022 M3 Performance. There are no words for what this car can do. I keep it in chill mode 95% of the time, not to save battery, but to keep my neck free from whiplash. The car will smoke anything on the road short of a supercar and even then give a run for it’s money . Hands down the best car I’ve ever owned. Friends will ask me what do you think about it? I just describe it as “smooth”. The regenerative braking, the torque, the style, the interior. I’ll never own another combustion car again.
Also, it took off with 3 full size men in it. Incredible cars!
I understand that he's impressed with the torque. I haven't tested a Tesla yet, but I drove a "Nissan Leaf" once, and even that was impressive when it came to the acceleration from zero, compared to a normal petrol car. And I know the Tesla is more powerful. Can't wait to try one someday.
Keep-it up Barbarian- great ambassdor
Love these!! Great content 👍
When you can convert a good 'ol boy in an camouflage Alabama hat... you know you've got something special lol.
Not even a highland and he was still impressed
Good moto ‘’let the car do the talking’
Then proceeds to talk the whole time lol
Converting one skeptic at a time...lovin' it.
Great Content as ALWAYS! I'm waiting for you to buy the acceleration boost now lol
Anyone that bashes electric cars have never been in one. I wasn't against them but I didn't believe the hype. After driving one I was convinced that once they are affordable, they should be the future of cars.
The future is here ... Our grandchildren will not understand why we drove gasoline cars at all...⛽⁉️
It's the instant throttle response that gets me every time. Not even a 2000hp petrol car will do anything similar.
Love the videos man, it’s great seeing people that dislike Tesla drive the cars themselves and truly understand how great cars they are. You are doing gods work
I own the slowest Tesla there is, a 22 Standard Model 3 and drive uber. Even that one blows my passengers away with the acceleration and features. It's an absolute blast to drive and I won't ever daily an ICE car again.
You can burn tyres in the performance model in track mode. I did that by accident when I first tried it! Great video! Thanks

If you really want their brains to melt, put them in a model S Plaid.
Was that a performance model?
@@favazm Just a Long Range
@@michaelbradley7529 MY brain might also melt! LOL I've also never ridden in a Plaid!
In 2010? I saw my first Tesla in Vancouver Bc Canada. I never seen one before and it was the very first production model. It was in down town Vancouver a city with lots of wealth. Then I moved into a house in a rich area. next door neighboor had a model 3 BTW, Elon Musk did NOT develop the original Telsa roadster or the company name. It was created by two car engineers that had a kit car with the electronics of the motor and LIPO batteries in it. They needed the money to make this car go national so they approached Elon Musk for Financing.
“There’s a lot to be said about smokin’ some tires” 🔥
I’ve got a Y performance, my plaid S will be here in a month. Love my Tesla!
Go Fund Me campaign to buy the Barbarian a M3P. 😂
And everyday you leave home with a full tank of electrons.
I love the immediate understanding of why there is a warped media representation of tesla - 'because of what the media wants to do'
I was a big Corvette guy until driving a Tesla. Now I've forgotten about Corvettes and V8's.
I drove a Model 3 and a model S. Don't like the styling, the drive is too sterile and the interior feels cheap. Sure, some Teslas are impressively fast, I'll give them that.
I'll keep my 2019 Corvette Convertible any day. That is until I buy a C8 next.
I love it when people say "It's weird/dumb because they are so quiet."
Then I tell them my 3 Performance is actually quite loud... because of the screams from my passengers when i stomp down on the fun-pedal.
"Fun-Pedal" LOL I like that! I call it the "Smile Switch" LOL
It's actually fun how silent they are. It makes gas cars feel barbaric and slow lol.
"imma let the car do the talking" then proceeds to talk about experience 😂
I'm teasing of course, gotta poke fun every now and again.
I like Iron Will! Super nice guy driving g electric for the first time. - A couple observations to share with Will: The 2022 Performance model of the Model 3 does 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds and has Track Mode. You can spin the tires in Track Mode, plus dial in front/rear power bias depending on what wheels you want to hook up and how much. Great for dialing it in for track or just fun. There was a maintenance Mode hack that allowed for burnouts in all Teslas but too many folks couldn't handle the torque and ended up in the ditch - see RUclips.
My 2018 Long Range, non-performance AWD Model 3 does the job in 4.3 seconds but all LR models can drop .5 seconds off that 0-60 time by purchasing a Boost package, downloaded over-the-air from Tesla for $2,000.
Another plus with Teslas = OTA updates. My car gets regular updates whi,e sitting at home. It gets better in many ways and/or gains features. Big bonus!
For the third year running, American-made Teslas won hands down for the domestic cars with the most USA-sourced parts inside. That includes gas cars. Its also worth noting that most model 3s ( except the Base model ) can win a drag race with most Corvettes and 911 Porsches whilst being a comfortable 5-seat family, car with a nice front trunk, a spacious cargo area beneath the rear trunk floor and room for me to lie down in back and take a nap at 6'1" without my feet hitting the trunk. I recently hauled a big flat screen TV home from Best buy, no problem. Try doing that in a 'Vette! - These are good points to justify with the "better half" when discussing the purchase.
Some very good sources (NTSB, IIHS and Recalls.gov) say .03% of electric cars have caught fire vs. 1.05% of gasoline cars since 2010. Those numbers include the big Chevy Bolt recall for defective LG batteries..
Just think of the industries disrupted by EVs: The Parts and Service industry alone is a multi- trillion dollar segment. Gas cars have hundreds of oil - lubricated , friction worn moving parts in engines and transmissions. Each Tesla motor has ONE moving part. Their reduction gearset is just a few parts and forget about brake jobs! Gas and oil lobbies pay lots for advertising....Tesla has a LOT of enemies.
regarding the fire thing, if a gas car catches fire you can extinguish it and it takes a while before it fully catches fire, if an electric vehicle catches fire there's no way to stop those batteries until they fully discharge and what what makes them even more dangerous is the speed they consume a car, it basically turns into a giant arc welder
I didn't realize the response to the skeptic's was so simple -- "yeah it's probably the media. It's what they want you to think" and they're like oh yeah exactly lmao
It helps to have them driving the car during the conversation LOL
This is amazing! People don't easily alter their minds but we can educate and help little by little.
Feels more like a theme park rollercoaster than a fast car.
Agreed 100%
You are changing hearts and minds one person at a time. Great job.
This is awesome, found you from watching Now You Know Patreon Bonus stories 9/20/22
You got yourself a new subscriber Bub! Keep up the great work and spreading the word!
Thanks for sharing the benefits and value of EVs and in particular Tesla vehicles. You are very impactful in changing people's minds, often people who are skeptics.
Love it…another great vid.
Precisely what I commented on last time. Good ole boys with good ole toys learning how Tesla’s can fit in to their love for performance and speed.
(Good ole boys is a compliment btw.)
The accelerations figures hold. It's the initial torque that give it that fast feel.
But next time get the petrol heads in a performance or a TMS Plaid.
These cars sell themselves. I've had one for 14 months now and love it.
😳Proof! Once you’ve driven a Tesla, your life has been charged forever 😜
This driver was excellent, an excellent example of you don’t know what you don’t know! Twice he really sounded negative & in those same instances, he was pleasantly positive. A real genuine reaction, great video in my opinion.🙏🏿🙏❤️
At 6:22, I expected him to say "you know what? Get the f*** out of my car."
