change the oil every million miles. lol. nice car. how often do the batteries need replacing and how much is it to have it done. last i heard it was very difficult to get replacement batteries. great channel.
A fan from your 2A channel here. I have to say that I'm kind of disappointed that you would even buy a Tesla since the EV sector is entirely subsidy driven and thus not free market. The market distortions that occur because of subsidies are destructive, introduce inefficiencies into the economy and can even cause an economy to slow or even grind to a halt. For instance, this dynamic is what caused the UK to virtually grind to a halt in 1978. California is creaking under the weight of state government interference in the economy.
This is a walk in the park compared to my plaid. While yours is very unacceptable, my 22' Red S Plaid has been in the shop for almost two months for a ton of body work (still on-going). There were door chips, white PRIMER all over the quarter panel, compound on every edge of the car, and deep scratches on the glass roof. They have to replace my entire roof and paint match the imperfections. Oh, the kicker? I have a door DENT on the passenger rear door and orange peel all inside the trunk which is also getting re-sprayed lol. I accepted delivery because I was tricked and on pickup day the car was incredibly dusty which hides all the imperfections under a layer of dust. After I cleaned it up, I was in for a big surprise. Enjoy the car for what it's worth, but I have to agree with you on every statement, this is unacceptable for $140k+ car. I regret my purchase. I hope I enjoy the performance and car once this nightmare is finally over and the car is back in my possession.
I hope you get a chance to enjoy it too, that story sucks. that is extremely crazy they deliver cars dusty and all messed up... no fricken way I would spend that amount of money if I had it... the service issues alone with how long it takes is crazy too, fast cars yes, but man is it really worth the major hassel? God forbid you get into a fender bender, I watch Wham Bam Tesla Cam all the time and the smallest of hits causes the most outrages bills for the fix, and looooonnng times in service... you'd think with all that money coming in to Tesla, they would address these issues.
Just subscribed after hearing you plug this on Guns and Gadgets.. It is so weird not hearing you talking about firearm related things….lol, but I like cars as well and I like helping you anyway I can !
Hey Jarod, great vid. I follow your Guns & Gadget channel, appreciate all that you share there. I'm a auto detailor here in Texas. The product I would suggest is call Rapid Remover. It's water soluble adhesive remover and is really good on exterior and interior surfaces. Goo-gone, I'm not sure I would trust on a leather interior piece but before you try it, read the description on what it'll clean and if it's got any chemicals in it. Hope that helps. Thanks for all you do for the 2A community.
I hope SpaceX has better standards to be "within specs" I think I would also be a bit miffed to have a laundry list of so many simple fixes. When I picked up my gt500 I spent hours going thru it with a fine tooth comb but they had it prepped and detailed 100%. Enjoy that fine car, but stay on them till they get it right!
I bet SpaceX has far better standards. The E man has admitted many times that he only owns the other businesses to fund SpaceX and ultimately get to Mars. I doubt he owns any of these cars. When he was younger he had McClarens and cars with a soul. Even if I loved these things I'd never buy a car that logged a drivers score or wanted micro transactions as part of ownership. Hate to be the guy but it's only a matter of time until a politician is able to push a button and disable every microwave with wheels on the road with no collateral damage.
I drive for Uber part-time and I have driven two or three people to the Tesla service center here in Jacksonville Florida and they were all pretty disappointed in the service one lady said that she has to wait forever for parts and it's because of this she's thinking of selling the car already one guy had a brand new Tesla model 3 the air conditioner wasn't working and he said they didn't even give him a loaner I hear Tesla has a terrible problem with the service centers they did not make enough of them and they are all backed up to hell people can't get parts for the car and they're really getting pissed off this is my experience driving for Uber from what I've been hearing people say
Wow to pay over $100,000 for a car and take delivery on it and it's dirty unbelievable shity service they should have rolled the red carpet out for you

Congrats Jarod, I don't know where you find time my friend. Between your family, 2A, G&G, working the phones, the travel, the basic life stuff I would think your plate is pretty full already. I'm Looking forward to whatever this new channel brings. Looking back to the original start of G&G you've come a "long way" and definitely found your niche and it couldn't be a better one! Even the guys and gals in our own community don't realize quite how much you've accomplished for this community and continue to do every day. It's been a long trip from your LEO days and I hope it continues to forward for many years to come. That was a great milestone hitting the 500K mark here on RUclips, now the aim we want for you is a million and many of us will do our best to help you on that road. Congratulations again and keep the info coming.
I agree with you Chris and who cares if he strokes his ego.. Maybe he just realizes how much he's accomplished and wants to tell him he's proud of his hard work with everything.. Congratulations Jared!
IDo you have any idea as to the work thats involved in establishing the connections necessary to to get the advance information that Jarod now gets? I think you too would congratulate him on the fine job he does if you understood what it takes. Decades ago I worked as a lobbyist on a particular cause and have a decent understanding of the time it takes to develop the contacts in the industry and on the hill. He's done more in the past four years than most outsiders could do in plus TEN. If you want to call it stroking his ego so be it. At least have the common courtesy to give him kudo''s for the efforts and dedication he puts into this fight for what he believes in. I would challenge anyone else to follow his lead and actually get involved in the fight to defend what is ours. That would be our God given right to defend ourselves & family and our Constitutional Right to exercise the 2nd Amendment as we see fit.
@@chrisriker6421 I have, numerous times. Just on his other channel. I guess I just find it odd that’s he’s complaining about his issues with his 130k car in a time when people are living paycheck to paycheck, inflation is at a all time high, and good honest people can’t make ends meet, and he’s complaining about a car that most of his viewers I’m guessing couldn’t afford, I know I’ll never be able to, I don’t think E Cars are a viable option and it’s total hypocrisy when the electricity that charges the car comes from fossil fuels, but I think paying 130k is just a status symbol that he’s hit it big with Guns and Gadgets oh and of course the 24 years he’s worked. I think the video whining about his petty little car problems was in very bad taste given the given state the country is in. You can call me a “Karen” if you like hell Jared did, I would have thought he would have been more “adult” reply about honest criticism but I guess not.
2015 Tesla Model S with options that I ordered was $140 so I know I overpaid but I like the fact that I got free charging for life congratulations I've been a fan of your guns and gadgets for the Last 5 Years happy for you . we have a lot of the same likes
love your gun news channel, so i'm sure i'm going to like this one tooo..i love fast cars.. but im a MOPAR man... just like i'm a Springfield man with my firearms.. great job man and good luck...
Short of leather products I have used "Goo Gone" NEVER similarly named GOOF OFF as it contains acetone. Goo gone has a citrus oil base safe on most surfaces and easily removes sticker adhesives.
I agree brother I bought a new Ford explore really nice SUV blacked out And gun metal gray and when I picked it up from the dealership Jared it was dirty and were I bought it is a verry big car dealer in mass down near the gallery mall . And for the money we spent it should have been detailed inside and out …. You are not the only one Jared ….. I like your new Chanel Jared ,may be I’ll see you at the light when I bring my mustang out of the garage lol Ronin from Boston Ma …..
I would be super pissed! For a price tag over 100k I would send it back for a full detail on there dine. Good luck with the Chanel I hope it takes off ! Iv been watching you for couple of years now! Keep up the great content! Corey
Well I'll start off with congratulations on your new channel. That being said I am looking forward to seeing some other content other than on EV's. I am impressed by the speed of your Tesla but that is where it ends. I was born in the 60's and raised hell in the 70s. So you should know where I stand as far as mussel cars. I have a Dodge Challenger scatpack shaker and my wife has a Camero SS. I can't wait for your content on gas powered cars. If your as dedicated to cars as you are to the 2nd Amendment this will be an awesome channel! Good luck brother and GOD bless.
2 things to try for the adhesive. A slightly watered down microfiber rag with alcohol, if that spot is industrial adhesive, try a small amount of goo gone followed by a wipe down with the alcohol to remove the citrus. I have removed Tessa tape adhesive stuck on wires with 90% isopropal alcohol, comes right off. Once done I swear by Griots interior cleaner and interior detailer, worth the price. You can use them both on any surface inside your car with excellent results. Not sure if I could deal with the lack of exhaust sound to be honest. I drive a 500hp 2020 Mustang GT where I installed a full Steeda racing suspension, variant wheels with pilot sport 4s, 275-30-20 front and 305-30-20 rears and straight pipes, along with a lot of other mods. I installed an audiophile sound system as well. I love the power but there are other factors I love like the exhaust sound. What is the top speed on the Plaid?
Jarod, I’ve been watching your other channel for years, but your Type S compels me to respond, so here’s my story. I was at a wedding July 4th week and rented a 2021 Type S Plaid four five days. I rented it because the wife wants to get one. Well after the week of driving it I was disappointed in the car, but the wife loved it due to the technology. So, when we got home we spent hours over a couple days watching videos from dealers to owners and read countless articles about Tesla’s issues. So, at that point I was a big NO, but again the wife wanted one still, but was at least aware of the pains that come along with them and at least wanted to check them out at our nearest Tesla dealership. Well needless to say, when we walked in, there were no cars on the lot or the show room and the people working were there just standing around talking and ignored us. When I approached them, the women rudely stated in an angry voice that they be right with us in a moment. After waiting about another five minutes I said forget it and walked out. When I was going to my car, a man came running out to ask to help me, but I told him not after that bitch was rude to us. So, the way I see it, the Type S is a fancied up family sedan that happens to go fast. I’d rather get her a Porche Panamera S. As for me, I can afford it, but the rational part of me says no I don’t need it, a Porche 911 Turbo S. Once you’ve lived a dirt poor, hungry childhood, it’s hard to spend money frivolously on yourself. When buying for the wife, it doesn’t seem to bother me, just not for me. Oh, and as for the Tesla, I’ll wait at least another 5 to 10 years before I jump into that realm. I’m going to let that tech get much better first. It is a nice car overall though. Cheers
Jared, find a nice open stretch of road and stop. Next you stand on the "go" pedal for about 10 seconds. When you catch your breath, you will have forgotten about the 5 complaints.
Congratulations on your new channel, and best of luck for great success. Looking forward to some videos on traditional Detroit muscle, with my own favorite being the Pontiac GTO.
By far, my biggest gripe about my model Y (now sold), was the real world charging and battery life experience. Not only do you get about 2/3 stated range, the batter is constantly depleting, so in cold weather climates, you’ll go to sleep with 70% and wake up with 59% without having driven it.
HEY brotherman!! Followed from G&G! I'm trying to get parts for a build myself. Have an old '75 squarebody I'm going to drop a 427 BBC in. It started out as a 1/2ton longbed, but I have one-ton axles now and about 12 inches of lift minus the 37 inch tires. All said and done, I "SHOULD" be getting just under 600hp (550 to580 maybe more) at the flywheel and around 450-ish to the ground. Not building a mudd'n truck... I'm in Idaho and spend a lot of time in the mountains so I need a stump jumper that has plenty of low end torque for climbing and pulling. Look forward to seeing more content here my friend!
Hey Jared IV been a follower of G&G since 2016 and love what you do over there. So I'm really looking forward to this channel my friend. Thanks for all you do for us brother. Subscribed!!!
I wouldve told them to get the car fully detailed. Ive bought 5+ yr old cars that looked like new they were so clean. A new car is new, theres no excuse for imperfections
Thanks for all you do. I’ll gladly sun and help support you and your endeavors. It’s the very least I (we) can do for the guy who does sooo much for us!
Absolutely unacceptable on the workmanship. I'd be a little more than disappointed with what you pointed out. Good luck to you bud. Thumbs up video ~John
I have an episode content suggestion involves a very same car. I have heard on the inter-webs that these cars have one additional camera that you cannot turn off it’s always recording and somehow suggested it’s even hidden perhaps you could do a video on that very subject because I haven’t seen it yet.
Same issue i am having with my MX Plaid. Every item i have listed, they keep telling me its within specs, until i told them that I would have not accepted delivery if they told me, all those items will NOT be fixed. Tesla has great computer engineers and according to them, they have the best manufacturing process. With all these assets and great minds, TESLA cannot even fix those simple issues like gaps, cars being detailed prior to delivery, customer service, and scheduling appointments. All TESLA cares is selling computers installed in a body of a car, and hope no one complains. A six figure car is a LUXURY vehicle that should be build like the top of the line vehicle.
Clorox wipe for the adhesive might be worth a try. They are amazing for ink. My father has a '71 Mercury and the horn was a soft ring on the inside of the steering wheel. Very slick and easy to use. I bought a 2021 F150 Powerboost that does 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. It stickered for 63k and I got it for 55k. I am very pleased with everything except. Extremely quiet and great fit and finish. Tesla seems to really need to work on their quality control for that kind of money.
My friend worked at Tesla and his cousins work there (Stonets). That's why the car has issues. Also, Silicon Valley is known for companies that "fake it till they make it" so don't be surprised about the end product. That body panel alignment is ridiculous, it should have never made it to the lot. There's a possibility the bolts weren't torqued correctly.
Subscribed, came over from G&G...hoping for the best. I agree with your evaluation, and WOW, odd as these issues would be on ANY vehicle in this price-point. And NOPE would not buy any EV at this time. 'Cuz, 1) These cars start-new with a carbon footprint as much as 30% higher than a regular IC auto of the same segment, 2) the US power grid cannot carry the burden of everyone making the switch to EV, 3) many of the EV specific bits and pieces are only available from China and/or places under China's control. For me...keeping the old vehicles running and like-new is a much more environmentally friendly and pro-US transportation medium. But, glad you enjoy it.
wow those fender gaps are horrible. When I took delivery of my 2022 scat pack 1320 that was the first thing I inspected next I was laser focused on the paint.Too my suprise both flawless. Hope tesla takes care of ya Love that color by the way,
Came over from your other channel, I use a leather cleaner called honey leather cleaner on both black and tan leather. Got it off Amazon. It works on vinyl too so you should be fine
First thing first. I love your other channel Guns and Gadgets and I moved over here to watch your other channel. That being said. OH HELL NO!!! For the amount of money That you have spent on that car, it should not be like that. There should be no residue whatsoever in the vehicle the gaps between the panels and the hood are atrocious and the gap between the door and the left fender is unacceptable. The paint should not be off the car and the door should not be even rubbing. You just changed my outlook on that vehicle.
EVs are cool but not up to the standard where I would buy one. I honestly don’t think I could ever give up big trucks with big motors. Been following you since the beginning of G&G. I’ll support whatever you do man!
You sent me to this channel. I think I will just keep my 22 year old truck with 360,000 miles on it. Got the small hemi engine and goes fast enough to get a speeding ticket. Lol
Congratulations on the new channel. Love the looks and speed of your Tesla but I'll keep my 2004 Scion xb. It's paid for and in seventeen years has given me no problems. Good luck at the dealership. 👍
On the adhesive on the console, get 5 or 6 inches of sealing or packaging tape and form a loop with the tape's sticky side out. Gently tap it on the adhesive smear and it should come off. GREAT VIDEO!!!
For the sticky bit, get clean packers tape and press it onto the gunk, pull it off in different directions. Should pull off the stuff and won't leave any of its sticky. Good luck, I hate that crap.
My dad was a mechanic and he always looked at every car I purchased. His 1st look would be at the hood of the car. When they were out of alinement he could tell you if the car had been wrecked, rolled or what ever. I can tell you by looking at the things you have pointed out that it appears that your car has been wrecked and the hood was not lined back up right. No way should that door be rubbing the front fender that way. As for the sticky spot on your console, try a little 91% rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and rub gently it should rub right off. Love Ya Bubby I hope I was able to help Ya.
When I picked up my '23 standard S (looks exactly like your minus the trunk spoiler), I inspected it really good. My S was VERY clean inside and out. All the panel gaps look good until I got home. The only thing that did not line up is the trunk. The trunk needs to be adjusted so that the taillights line up. In the day time it's not bad, but at night when the driving lights are on, you can tell they dont align. Not a big issue. I'll schedule for service. The yoke is what gets me. I hate it with a passion. Takes away daily driving enjoyment.
Over herre from that one other station; because I heard about horsepower and speed and if I knew it was for electrics...... PS: On the adhesive, try a piece of duct tape. Press it against the adhesive and pull, several times. It probably won't work,,, but it might and it definitely won't hurt the leather.
My green ride is a 1984 El Camino. It has a 1967 327 with a L79 cam and a 4 barrel carburetor Weber. TH350 that is getting changed to a 700r4 with a monster transmission kit.. 3.73 carbon fiber posi pack. Rear sway bar and new four link. Two inch drop in the front. Have a NOS system for it I'm thinking of putting in and take it to my local track. Unfortunately only a eighth mile. I don't understand the self driving vehicle. The reason I get any ride is for the enjoyment of driving the hell out of it. Nice ride just not a battery fan
that is a cool car 0-60 2 seconds holly crap. I still like the gas engine, they sound so much better. I just sold my dodge charger 5.7 best i got was 0-60 in 5.0 and i thought that was fast, either way keep up the great work you are doing on your other channel.
Congratulations on your new ride. It's great to see your passion and attention to details for cars are the same for your stance on the 2A. Unfortunately it appears Teslas QA and attention to detail, especially on a flagship vehicle, are severely lacking.
I do leather steering wheels and use contact cement as part of the process and that stuff looks like contact cement. Use a damp cloth and some pressure and that stuff will roll up into a small booger and come off with no chemicals at all. Im not at all into the EV scene. Im pretty up to date on it but not a fan at all and would never park one in my garage.
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe to the channel!
Maybe try Goo Gone and then treat the leather like you normally would?

Interesting video. Sorry you are having issues with that beautiful vehicle. I love how the color ties in with your other passion.
Thanks for letting me know about your new site!! Awesome
I love cars to Jared! Im here from your 2A channel! Subbed.
Thanks 🙏
Subbed …. Also a Massachusetts resident… thanks for the content brother
Just subbed here brother! Best wishes with this channel! I've been with you since day 1 🤙🏻💪🏻🇺🇲
Much Appreciated!
Came from your other channel, definitely didn't expect to see the Plaid!
Legitimate issues. Thank you Jared 👊
I came over here from Guns and Gadgets good luck with the new channel
THANKS!!
Hey Jared... came over from GnG. 🙂 Nice fast car you got there! 😁👍 Looks a lot like our Lexus!
I would be super pissed! For a price tag over 100k I would send it back for a full detail on there dine.
Good luck with the Chanel I hope it takes off !
Iv been watching you for couple of years now! Keep up the great content!
Corey
Ty. Good luck on new Chanel
THANK YOU!!
Well I'll start off with congratulations on your new channel. That being said I am looking forward to seeing some other content other than on EV's. I am impressed by the speed of your Tesla but that is where it ends. I was born in the 60's and raised hell in the 70s. So you should know where I stand as far as mussel cars. I have a Dodge Challenger scatpack shaker and my wife has a Camero SS. I can't wait for your content on gas powered cars. If your as dedicated to cars as you are to the 2nd Amendment this will be an awesome channel! Good luck brother and GOD bless.
2 things to try for the adhesive. A slightly watered down microfiber rag with alcohol, if that spot is industrial adhesive, try a small amount of goo gone followed by a wipe down with the alcohol to remove the citrus. I have removed Tessa tape adhesive stuck on wires with 90% isopropal alcohol, comes right off. Once done I swear by Griots interior cleaner and interior detailer, worth the price. You can use them both on any surface inside your car with excellent results. Not sure if I could deal with the lack of exhaust sound to be honest. I drive a 500hp 2020 Mustang GT where I installed a full Steeda racing suspension, variant wheels with pilot sport 4s, 275-30-20 front and 305-30-20 rears and straight pipes, along with a lot of other mods. I installed an audiophile sound system as well. I love the power but there are other factors I love like the exhaust sound. What is the top speed on the Plaid?
Jarod,
I’ve been watching your other channel for years, but your Type S compels me to respond, so here’s my story.
I was at a wedding July 4th week and rented a 2021 Type S Plaid four five days. I rented it because the wife wants to get one. Well after the week of driving it I was disappointed in the car, but the wife loved it due to the technology. So, when we got home we spent hours over a couple days watching videos from dealers to owners and read countless articles about Tesla’s issues. So, at that point I was a big NO, but again the wife wanted one still, but was at least aware of the pains that come along with them and at least wanted to check them out at our nearest Tesla dealership. Well needless to say, when we walked in, there were no cars on the lot or the show room and the people working were there just standing around talking and ignored us. When I approached them, the women rudely stated in an angry voice that they be right with us in a moment. After waiting about another five minutes I said forget it and walked out. When I was going to my car, a man came running out to ask to help me, but I told him not after that bitch was rude to us.
So, the way I see it, the Type S is a fancied up family sedan that happens to go fast. I’d rather get her a Porche Panamera S. As for me, I can afford it, but the rational part of me says no I don’t need it, a Porche 911 Turbo S.
Once you’ve lived a dirt poor, hungry childhood, it’s hard to spend money frivolously on yourself. When buying for the wife, it doesn’t seem to bother me, just not for me.
Oh, and as for the Tesla, I’ll wait at least another 5 to 10 years before I jump into that realm. I’m going to let that tech get much better first. It is a nice car overall though.
Cheers
Here after you told me to check it out!
Jared, find a nice open stretch of road and stop. Next you stand on the "go" pedal for about 10 seconds. When you catch your breath, you will have forgotten about the 5 complaints.
Awesome Man. Really enjoy your content, your genuine nature shines through.
🙏 thank you
Congratulations on your new channel, and best of luck for great success.
Looking forward to some videos on traditional Detroit muscle, with my own favorite being the Pontiac GTO.
Thank you! Will do!
Congratulations Jared on your new channel. I subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
By far, my biggest gripe about my model Y (now sold), was the real world charging and battery life experience. Not only do you get about 2/3 stated range, the batter is constantly depleting, so in cold weather climates, you’ll go to sleep with 70% and wake up with 59% without having driven it.
the phantom drain!
Cold states have all kinds of issues w that.
Here from the other channel! Can’t wait to learn!
THANK YOU 🙏
HEY brotherman!! Followed from G&G! I'm trying to get parts for a build myself. Have an old '75 squarebody I'm going to drop a 427 BBC in. It started out as a 1/2ton longbed, but I have one-ton axles now and about 12 inches of lift minus the 37 inch tires. All said and done, I "SHOULD" be getting just under 600hp (550 to580 maybe more) at the flywheel and around 450-ish to the ground. Not building a mudd'n truck... I'm in Idaho and spend a lot of time in the mountains so I need a stump jumper that has plenty of low end torque for climbing and pulling. Look forward to seeing more content here my friend!
Not into EV's but because of your other channel I'll show some love and subscribe. :)
Thanks! There will be a lot of gasoline powered HP here too!!
Thanks for the great video! From your Guns&Gadgets channel to this one. Always keeping us well informed. Who doesn't like fast cars and guns!
THANKS!!! Appreciate you!
Love this new channel of yours
THANK YOU!!
Guns and Cars makes You My type of guy! Subbed both utubed!! I have a 2003 SSr, 1970 Corvette with new LS, and a 1923 T Bucket with a 392 Hemi!!!
Sweet!!!
The 1970 Corvette: 😍
Guns, Gadgets & now Cars ... awesome! Good luck on your Tesla repairs. "Mopar or no car". 😁
Love Mopar!
@@FreedomGarage Great. Look forward to some Mopar stuff. Thanks for your response!
Hey Jared IV been a follower of G&G since 2016 and love what you do over there. So I'm really looking forward to this channel my friend. Thanks for all you do for us brother. Subscribed!!!
THANK YOU 🙏
Every new truck or car I have bought were detailed before I pulled it off the lot! This would get under my skin just like you!
Good deal Jared. I came over from the other channel. Good luck with this one
Appreciate you!!
@@FreedomGarage family sticks together brother
Fiebing's Saddle Soap or Lexol Leather Cleaner. You and your family have a blessed weekend.
You might look into what has to be done if you mess up one of the outside sensors. You might be surprised….
Wow I hear you on the gap clearance and scuff marks from the rubbing! Unacceptable for a new vehicle of that caliber!! Still a cool car!!
I wouldve told them to get the car fully detailed. Ive bought 5+ yr old cars that looked like new they were so clean.
A new car is new, theres no excuse for imperfections
The more I watch about electric vehicles, the more I like my gas powered vehicles.. Congrats on the new channel, I came of course from Guns & Gadgets,
👊🇺🇸
Great start Jared
Subscribed!!! Been following on G&G forever
THANK YOU
Nice, can't afford one though, I will stick to my Jeep 4X4. Excellent job on the channels Jared!
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for all you do. I’ll gladly sun and help support you and your endeavors. It’s the very least I (we) can do for the guy who does sooo much for us!
That’s actually not a bad turnaround for a service appointment. Been in the business for 25 years with mostly high line cars.
OMG. I’d lose my mind too with that door issue!!
All car guys are the same!!
Congrats, hope they get it straightened out man.
You sent me here.
Thank you 🙏
@@FreedomGarage you bet brother! Guns and gadgets is my first go to everyday. Now I'll look at other stuff you have.
Sent me here too
Absolutely unacceptable on the workmanship. I'd be a little more than disappointed with what you pointed out. Good luck to you bud. Thumbs up video ~John
I have an episode content suggestion involves a very same car. I have heard on the inter-webs that these cars have one additional camera that you cannot turn off it’s always recording and somehow suggested it’s even hidden perhaps you could do a video on that very subject because I haven’t seen it yet.
Same issue i am having with my MX Plaid. Every item i have listed, they keep telling me its within specs, until i told them that I would have not accepted delivery if they told me, all those items will NOT be fixed. Tesla has great computer engineers and according to them, they have the best manufacturing process. With all these assets and great minds, TESLA cannot even fix those simple issues like gaps, cars being detailed prior to delivery, customer service, and scheduling appointments. All TESLA cares is selling computers installed in a body of a car, and hope no one complains. A six figure car is a LUXURY vehicle that should be build like the top of the line vehicle.
Clorox wipe for the adhesive might be worth a try. They are amazing for ink.
My father has a '71 Mercury and the horn was a soft ring on the inside of the steering wheel. Very slick and easy to use.
I bought a 2021 F150 Powerboost that does 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. It stickered for 63k and I got it for 55k. I am very pleased with everything except. Extremely quiet and great fit and finish. Tesla seems to really need to work on their quality control for that kind of money.
My friend worked at Tesla and his cousins work there (Stonets). That's why the car has issues. Also, Silicon Valley is known for companies that "fake it till they make it" so don't be surprised about the end product. That body panel alignment is ridiculous, it should have never made it to the lot. There's a possibility the bolts weren't torqued correctly.
Subscribed, came over from G&G...hoping for the best.
I agree with your evaluation, and WOW, odd as these issues would be on ANY vehicle in this price-point.
And NOPE would not buy any EV at this time. 'Cuz, 1) These cars start-new with a carbon footprint as much as 30% higher than a regular IC auto of the same segment, 2) the US power grid cannot carry the burden of everyone making the switch to EV, 3) many of the EV specific bits and pieces are only available from China and/or places under China's control.
For me...keeping the old vehicles running and like-new is a much more environmentally friendly and pro-US transportation medium.
But, glad you enjoy it.
And...did you take it over 100mph on a public road? For that you get extra points! Freedom Garage!
wow those fender gaps are horrible. When I took delivery of my 2022 scat pack 1320 that was the first thing I inspected next I was laser focused on the paint.Too my suprise both flawless. Hope tesla takes care of ya Love that color by the way,
Came over from your other channel, I use a leather cleaner called honey leather cleaner on both black and tan leather. Got it off Amazon. It works on vinyl too so you should be fine
How many people have keyed it.
The steering wheel looks like it's out of a knight industry 2000 (KITT) vehicle. Cool
First thing first. I love your other channel Guns and Gadgets and I moved over here to watch your other channel. That being said. OH HELL NO!!! For the amount of money That you have spent on that car, it should not be like that. There should be no residue whatsoever in the vehicle the gaps between the panels and the hood are atrocious and the gap between the door and the left fender is unacceptable. The paint should not be off the car and the door should not be even rubbing. You just changed my outlook on that vehicle.
EVs are cool but not up to the standard where I would buy one. I honestly don’t think I could ever give up big trucks with big motors. Been following you since the beginning of G&G. I’ll support whatever you do man!
I can’t wait for the follow video on how your service visit went.
Oh, I will definately report on it!
You sent me to this channel.
I think I will just keep my 22 year old truck with 360,000 miles on it. Got the small hemi engine and goes fast enough to get a speeding ticket. Lol
👊🇺🇸
Good luck with new channel
Congratulations on the new channel. Love the looks and speed of your Tesla but I'll keep my 2004 Scion xb. It's paid for and in seventeen years has given me no problems.
Good luck at the dealership. 👍
On the adhesive on the console, get 5 or 6 inches of sealing or packaging tape and form a loop with the tape's sticky side out.
Gently tap it on the adhesive smear and it should come off.
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Great content
I agree. They should get it right before delivery.
For the sticky bit, get clean packers tape and press it onto the gunk, pull it off in different directions. Should pull off the stuff and won't leave any of its sticky.
Good luck, I hate that crap.
Nice looking car in general, love the flake in the paint.
I love your car channel
Thank you!
Try using WD40 on that adhesive. Use a soft cloth such as a microfiber towel. WD40 works great for removing sticky stuff without damaging the surface.
THANKS!!
Love the new channel. Still can't believe you spent that much on an electric car
My dad was a mechanic and he always looked at every car I purchased. His 1st look would be at the hood of the car. When they were out of alinement he could tell you if the car had been wrecked, rolled or what ever. I can tell you by looking at the things you have pointed out that it appears that your car has been wrecked and the hood was not lined back up right. No way should that door be rubbing the front fender that way. As for the sticky spot on your console, try a little 91% rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and rub gently it should rub right off. Love Ya Bubby I hope I was able to help Ya.
Misaligned panels, hoods, and lift gates are very common in NEW Teslas.
When I picked up my '23 standard S (looks exactly like your minus the trunk spoiler), I inspected it really good. My S was VERY clean inside and out. All the panel gaps look good until I got home. The only thing that did not line up is the trunk. The trunk needs to be adjusted so that the taillights line up. In the day time it's not bad, but at night when the driving lights are on, you can tell they dont align. Not a big issue. I'll schedule for service. The yoke is what gets me. I hate it with a passion. Takes away daily driving enjoyment.
Over herre from that one other station; because I heard about horsepower and speed and if I knew it was for electrics...... PS: On the adhesive, try a piece of duct tape. Press it against the adhesive and pull, several times. It probably won't work,,, but it might and it definitely won't hurt the leather.
Until we see each other again be safe, stay vigilant and carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community, your TESLA safe!!!!
😂💯💯💯
My green ride is a 1984 El Camino. It has a 1967 327 with a L79 cam and a 4 barrel carburetor Weber. TH350 that is getting changed to a 700r4 with a monster transmission kit.. 3.73 carbon fiber posi pack. Rear sway bar and new four link. Two inch drop in the front. Have a NOS system for it I'm thinking of putting in and take it to my local track. Unfortunately only a eighth mile. I don't understand the self driving vehicle. The reason I get any ride is for the enjoyment of driving the hell out of it. Nice ride just not a battery fan
Nice!!!
"This. . . . "
🤣😂😃😂 darn you Doug.
Cool video brotha. Keep up the good work
that is a cool car 0-60 2 seconds holly crap. I still like the gas engine, they sound so much better. I just sold my dodge charger 5.7 best i got was 0-60 in 5.0 and i thought that was fast, either way keep up the great work you are doing on your other channel.
Congratulations on your new ride. It's great to see your passion and attention to details for cars are the same for your stance on the 2A. Unfortunately it appears Teslas QA and attention to detail, especially on a flagship vehicle, are severely lacking.
Much appreciated!
I do leather steering wheels and use contact cement as part of the process and that stuff looks like contact cement. Use a damp cloth and some pressure and that stuff will roll up into a small booger and come off with no chemicals at all. Im not at all into the EV scene. Im pretty up to date on it but not a fan at all and would never park one in my garage.
THANKS!! Gas vehicles here too!
Oh man... That door rub would drive me nuts.
