Casey is a jerk has an inflated ego who thinks that he knows everything can’t take a difference of opinion without crying about it but yelling at someone with vehicles running is better then a head set he is so right he’s not good at his job
Correct on all points.
@@CaseyLaDelleWell my brother Bob likes Casey and so do I so there! 😂
@clinttrost5743 Step away from the computer and spend some time outside in real life. Talk to others like you post and let us know how that works out for you, hmmm? We can wait.
@@CaseyLaDelle 380k Subscribers says he is wrong 😎 I wonder If Clint has helped donate and put together a 100+ bikes for needy kids + a Christmas meal for their families, helped a homeless veteran broke down on the road, tow his van, pay for repairs, get him into housing, help 1,000’s of stranded people for Free? Clint is NOT the one busting his ass, 10:30 at night, in the cold snow to help this couple. Do the job your way and ignore the BS, by the way, you are GOOD at it! 👍😎🇺🇸
Who’s Casey?
30-year-old Ford wrecker still putting in work, got to love it.
By the sound of it, no wonder! Sounds like an older IH engine. I've seen many of those things beat to hell and back and STILL run!
@LukiRudaka its a 7.3 so international did make the engine.
I'm shopping for a very old wrecker in good shape, 30-40 years old. Will be starting a business soon. The "why" of it is I think a cool-looking vintage wrecker will be a neat calling card, set me apart & be unique in the crowded, highly-competitive DFW area. I love Casey's truck!
Hey Casey very nice Ford diesel 4x4 wheel lift wrecker
Nice tutorial

I’m a fairly large tow company here in the state of California. I just wanna tell you I am super proud of what you did for those individuals. You’re absolutely correct. People gotta watch out for these scam “tow companies.”
On the flipside. People that own these Teslas or any small car should not be driving in conditions like that. They could have been stuck for hours and in some cases days. Just my thoughts, your friend and fellow tower Ron.
Here is a list of things you need before you go on a lengthy road trip
Before allyour batteries are charged, the vehicle, phone, and flashlight
Food Water for 3 to 5 days per person
Blankets whistles it will save your voice
Check the air in the spare tire.
That should do it.
Oregon Plate?
don't most people just use AAA which vets tow companies? I don't think i would feel comfortable randomly contacting tow companies.
yeah know a few folks with Teslas and i've heard of stories where they had to spend hours just calling around till they found a company even willing to touch a Tesla and the prices where always high, they're cool vehicles but no one really wants anything to do with them once u own it
@@manp1039 As a relatively large tow company myself. I could probably answer your question. Just because a tow company tows for “AAA”. That doesn’t necessarily make them a “good company“. I know of plenty of bad ones. It is not at all difficult to become a AAA provider. We have towed for AAA in the past. And with the experience that we have had it simply not worth it. I am not picking on AAA. I’m just simply stating all the roadside services out there want to pay as little as possible. With today’s fuel cost and insurance not to mention the wear and tear on your trucks. Doing work for these insurance companies is a lot of wear and tear on the trucks and the drivers.
Bottom line is. You do need to watch out for the scam companies out there. Do your research and find a legitimate company. If you’re in an area that you’re not familiar with. You could contact your local nonemergency police and they can provide you with a list that they would recommend . Just my thoughts I hope that helped.
@@Clayton3985 Add common sense !!!
The night footage is fine to me. The work lights on the wrecker help a lot too.
It looked like the Ford wrecker went fishing and caught a Tesla lol
Casey u r good guy,keep good doing,God be with you.
In the dark, it gives us a new perspective of what you go through on the jobs sometimes. Keeps things interesting to me.
I'm thinking that shopping for really sturdy rain pants is on the agenda.
@@judithburke1539’Duct Tape’ too.
i would throw it back if i caught one of those
I lived in oregon 45 years. These people are lucky anyone was willing to show up in those conditions . I have walked out from places like that with no cell service and no help for tens of miles . I would have been thanking this man for what he did. Awesome job.
I used to drive for speeds towing out of portland. Most tow operators from clackamas county would come get you. It's just a different style of driving. You get used to it.
That's a masterpiece of multitasking... keeping an eye on the Tesla and rope, looking backwards at the ruts, holding the camera, narrating... Man! Great video.
LIkely he is using the camera that is around his neck so both hands are free to do the job.
This is the first video I have seen from you and to do this tow for free cause they got scammed that's
awesome
@@rickyemmirt4120My favorites are when he puts the tracks on to maneuver in the snow. I don’t know why I like them so much. I don’t really enjoy the snow. But there’s something very cool watching this big old Jeep with tracks on just plowing through the snow like it’s nothing. It is quite loud however.
Your young lady at the end reminded of when my Daughter was about 5 years old. Beaumont, Tx had a rain storm that hit 17 inches an hour for about 2 or 3 hours. Some of the streets had 3 or 4 feet of water. There were swamped cars everywhere! When I got home my Wife asked if I could go rescue a friend. My Daughter wanted to help, so we packed hot chocolate, towels, WD-40, etc... I had a Dodge Step Side truck with tall tires, camper shell, and double slide windows that connected the shell to the cab. My Daughter loved climbing back and forth thru the double windows. She became my little hostess, passing out towels and hot chocolate. We rescued a few dozen vehicles. Most people would thank me and try to pay me, but I would tell them "No, I'm just glad I could help!" When we got home, my Daughter pulled her shirt up and about $400.00 fail out! She said everybody told her not to tell your Dad till we got home. I was very upset! Many years later, as an adult, had her own truck, she calls one night to let me know she rescued someone. She said "they tried to pay, but told them No, I'm just glad I can help!" May you realize one day your Daughter was listened and learned a life lesson or two!
You and your daughter are awesome.
I was in Houston a few years back and they had a storm hit like that I was driving a buddy in his car when we left the parking garage after the rain stopped I was surprised the car didn't flood out water came over the front of the hood I had to cut through parking lots and go the wrong way on a interstate off ramp so I could get out of there and go back home to Louisiana I know all those people that had their cars parked on those side streets lost them because most had water coming over the hood and trunk
Aha,your daughter learned the right way,Do what they do,not what they say.
When I help folks I ask them to pass it on.
Smart daughter, well done.
So nice of you not to charge them after being scammed. We need more people like you in this world.
If you're going to drive a car like that into those conditions then you deserve to pay for your mistake. I can't believe some people.
@@jameslynch4042 I don't think it was anywhere near that bad when they got stuck. It had been snowing heavily for 3 hours after they were already stuck. 3 hours of snow that heavy is significant. They may have been driving all day and just weren't watching the weather or thought they could beat it. Shit happens. I drive an hour to and from work out in the sticks and I don't always have time to examine the radar all day. I've been caught off guard and have had to take 4 hours to drive home. I wouldn't be so quick to judge these guys. It's the ones that take a camry into freakin moab that make me wonder who dresses them in the morning.
Sometimes ya dance with the one that brought ya 😂
@@jameslynch4042casey was being nice. just because the tesla driver “deserved” (which i don’t think you should be so judgmental) it doesn’t mean he has to charge him if he doesnt feel like it. if people had some mercy and compassion, we wouldn’t see the stuff we do today. wouldn’t you want someone to be kind to you even after you fucked up?
This channel making thousands of dollars on this video ALONE... He's definitely getting compensated for this event
Who knew that at 68 years old I would become hooked on watching Casey pull cars out of the snow. He seems very patient with the people he's helping. Well done Casey.
@@drogna3905
Sorry dude but you need a life
it's therapeutic like watching a real hero work saving us average people. humbling even
We need to start going after the automotive industry... 2 things that should be INCLUDED on EVERY vehicle are 1) Spare Tire (whether it be a full size or a donut) and 2) recovery points front and rear
Yes, and recovery hooks especially on EVs. I guess manufacturers figure the presence of them suggests to the uninitiated consumer that they might eventually be needed.
They don’t make them like that no more.
In Germany the Tire and the Front Towing point are required by law. 95% of the cars also have the front. So I didn't even realise they dont come like that standard. Thats rediculous(don't know how tp spell that word).
and ashtrays so smokers have a place to put there butts to help cut down on forest fires.
That would require two things, 1st , They actually care about the customer and 2nd they care about the service company that has to take care of them. In the land of profits are everything and only this quarter earnings count don't expect things to get better.
As this year draws to a close, we find that Casey is still the same. A kind hearted gentleman bringing his tools and experience to help people out of their bad situations. Thank you Casey. May you have a Happy and prosperous New Year.
You haven't watched all his videos. LOL He ain't always so kind-hearted but I like him spicy.
@@jakester455but he is always honest! Never says anything that isn’t true…..
Good job.
Those fake towing company scammers should get arrested.
Oh good. Go to India and get them
Cant...they are in non-extredition Countries...
Well also common sense should come into play too. A legitimate tow company wouldn't ask for money before the job is done. At least the tow companies that I've dealt with never have. And I also drove tow trucks for a while and we never asked for money before the job was done
@@lwildman62673have you been towed in the last few years?
Whenever you hear a NIGERIAN accent hang up!!
“AIM that way and just go for it” dude takes off lmao I love it
Your patience with that customer was outstanding.. and at no cost to him.. amazing!
He’s doing it for free cause he’s making content. You don’t charge people when you’re making money on the video
@@The_Diesel733 Nah, you can do both; just edit the payment out, "to protect the customer's privacy." Think of it like this: if most people CAN get paid double, with the payees none the wiser and nobody feeling cheated, they WILL. Casey's making a choice and being an ambassador for his trade. If you don't see that as commendable, look a bit deeper.
I have said before and I will keep saying it, you are a good man Casey. Thank you for helping all those people.
He gets paid by youtube, but yes it makes a person feel good helping people. A hard man is good to find
@@speedfreak8200 He could charge for every job, gas, travel, time, effort. AND get paid from youtube. But he does it for free.
As someone in the military, working in stressful situations with radios. You are correct, the increase in stress with a radio to deal with just makes things worse. There is a reason why radio operator is a separate job.
I was a Data Network Specialist (IT) but deployed as 'Comm' with a small special team. Had to manage radio for my team. Learned how COMSEC applied to crypto in Iraq when I told an E7 that I had been bumming crypto off the grunts we slept next to. Predeployment failed to cover that part.
I wonder if people would be more comfortable just being on speaker phone with him. Being that a phone is something they use all the time. But yelling works fine too.
@@--_DJ_--
Speaker phone might be ok but it can be distracting also but the major problem would be getting phone reception in the middle of nowhere I guess.
@@scots_knight4706 This is true, and intermittent communication is probably much worse than knowing you have none.
Very true!
It’s not the Tesla that is the issue it’s the driver. There is no way they should have been out in this weather. I’m in Canada…we know how to drive in snow and ice and we know when NOT to. Wonderful guy helping them out and having consideration for the front bumper etc.
No disrespect to the driver, every time he started to get momentum the car would slide slightly and he would hammer the brakes and get stuck. Learning moment for him hopefully.
Oregon tag...he should know better..but then he bought a Tesla !
Yeah but a regular car should have done that road fine. Especially a suv. Teslas are built like toys so was waiting for the moment the wheel got ripped out of alignment or a panel getting scrapped of like what happens to them in rain.
To clarify. Teslas are fake awd. Which means on top of being extremely heavy they dont even have a way to properly put out some controlled torque.
Absolutely terrible winter cars. You see Teslas stranded all the time when going up north to skiing resorts. And you just think. How did they get stuck there? And how are they possible going so slow here the road Is fine.
@@bennym1956 Except the Tesla performs just fine in snow
@@RedNuii It's amazing how many people think the shape of your car matters when driving in the snow. The snow doesn't care if your car's shape is a sedan, an SUV or a truck. All that matters is your tires, your weight, AWD, traction control and the driver. Teslas are heavy, are often AWD and their traction control is fine. This Tesla had 21" wheels that were likely not winter tires and was on a road that would render most cars stuck. Clearance helps in some circumstances like these ruts, but it mostly doesn't affect things on roads, and the Tesla's ground clearance is similar to a Nissan Murano, GMC Terrain or Chevy Equinox.
As an Emergency Services radio operator, I fully concur about not giving a radio topeople who are unused to using a two way radio , particularly in a stressful situation. That extra portion of concentration required by the radio detracts from that required to follow instructions.
Maybe they should send an ICS-213 over winlink.
In times of stress, people don't rise to every occasion but rather, perform to their level of training, experience and drill. Whether the emergency is driving, medical, financial, on the job, etc., the principle has merit. If you plan on comminuting during an emergency, apply this and do what you need to in practice not, in fantasies.
Agreed, Paramedic and I found giving updates on the radio along with the mobile data terminal, driving and watching the cabin for distress/instructions to be just one too many tasks for at least a year.
Yes, the old half-duplex way of communicating with push to talk handheld radio is indeed cumbersome.
But that’s not what the Tesla owner was proposing. He had available full duplex hands-off communication through his cellphone and in-car entertainment system. It would be like having Casey in the front seat with him.
Don't use it for two way. Just use it so they can hear good. Listen only.
Gotta give you a lot of credit for not getting pissed at some of these situations.
The man literally makes money off people's moments of stupidity it, just goes with the line of work 😆 I don't know about you but I definitely have to grin a little when I make money off folks for being dumb especially when they are normally relatively smart people.
What would getting pissed in this situation accomplish or help?
They paying…💰🤷🏻♂️
Plus, I’m sure his wife after this ordeal was plenty pissed.
At around 18 minutes. I would have hooked to the driver side front wheel. Just pointing front of car towards down road
@@jeffreylally4722 deep ruts with underlying ice doesn't mix well with cold plastic, I think Casey was trying not to break up the front end body work of the overpriced POS. 😮
That job basically was 100$ an hour. Super good on you for not making them pay on top of them getting scammed.
They would be paying me $1,000 who cares about RUclips. Everyone needs money. Life is expensive. I'm pretty sure those tesla people don't work for free. $100 a hour no way that's $200 per hour minimum. You definitely don't know the off-road rates.
@ I was referencing the total time spent vs how much they got scammed for. I was in no way saying that the job shouldn’t have cost more or that Casey should have made them pay for it being an “off-road” tow. You’re right, I don’t know “off-road rates” because I don’t work in that industry. I also wouldn’t classify that as an “off-road” tow as the vehicle was still on a road that had posted signage. If it was up a trail or out on the BDR I’d call that “off-road”. Do I think the Tesla owners made a poor choice? Completely. Did Casey handle it professionally and in the way he thought was appropriate? Absolutely.
@@123-olmngresx You apparently don't know Casey LaDelle very well. We know what he does and why.
A fast nickel beats a slow dime.
Its a very expensive coffin to stuck in the snow😅 and This man is a Real Hero. Saving people. Not stealing their cars not asking extra money, he only saves people. 😊
I love vids with this old wrecker. What a great workhorse. The sounds of that diesel is sound of getting work done.
Don't forget the sounds of the angry squirrel church choir, too... 20:00
Be much better if it was electric. Evs are the cars of the future. They are polution free, reliable and efficient. Everyone should own a ev and scrap their ice junk
@@shawnkelly695 You slay me!
Frankmarten i slay you?
Reminds me old my old trucks...Had a 2 tone 87 extended cab F150, and a 88 solid red 4x4 extended cab both from the family business, good times.. the 87 i should have never sold, the 88 Only got 9.6mpg If you pushed it downhill... my other uncle ended up w that one in the end. We actually had 2 of Each between my father and youngest uncle. All Vehcles back then were in sets.
Casey I used to operate a tilt and load truck in the Toronto area. An old timer gave me a tip for the exact windshield issue you had. First put your defrost on full and cold. Crack your window down an inch to give fresh air. The windshield will stay cold and snow will just bounce off because of the temperature of the windshield. This works amazing
100% appreciate you, brother. You save that couples life in the snow tonight. And you didn’t add another $400 to their grief. You’re a true gentleman and a great person… A Big Thank you from all of us .El Southern California..
Definitely admirable. Wouldn’t say life saving though. My Tesla uses about 1% of the battery every 2 hours to keep climate running. So they could have stayed toasty for about 24 hours if they had just 12% of the battery left
@@iambenmitchelldo you live in an area that gets this kind of cold and snow? Also snow pileup around the vehicle can trap the carbon monoxide and dioxide you exhale out in the car
@@jameson1239 Thats why you brush it off.. You don’t just sit there and allow the world to pin you down lol
I’m surprised I even watched the entirety of this video. I did at one point wonder how much it was gonna cost given all the circumstances the fact that you did that for free that was just awesome brother much love man much love the world needs more people like you.
Genius move using the wheel lift to "groom" the road for them. Despite what one rather tall man in the Bend Oregon area says, you are good at that.
Biblical patience of Job. The camera light worked great this time.
"The only time i was wrong, was the time when i think i was wrong..."
( or when the Miss is around ! )
Casey is soo shy ! 😂😂
So if he was wrong when he thought he was wrong-That’d make him RIGHT! Right? Lol
Extremely helpful video for Canadians to gain an idea of how these vehicles perform in snow. It is not uncommon for many cities to have deep snow like this
Best night time footage a person could ask for, could see clearly, how you can watch everything and record?? Simply amazing to watch you work! Thank you for sharing!
Just thinking the same thing. Video quality is incredible! Keep up the good work......
Yep !! I love night time footage - I think some folks just love to criticize and moan ya know ?
I never heard you ask what they were doing or where they were trying to go with that car in those conditions, bravo.
Maybe to avoid scammers people could call their local law enforcement agency and ask for a wrecker on their rotation schedule. They should know which companies are capable of off road type recoveries also.
it's therapeutic like watching a real hero work saving us average people. humbling even
This owner drives his model Y with LOW PROFILE tires in heavy snow is unbelievable.
They must think them to be magical LOL
U would think knowing the battery is the most expensive component of the car & the goal in owning these vehicles is to avoid damage to the battery at all cost would have deterred most sensible Tesla owners to abort once the bottom started dragging on the snow. This guy needs to give up his man card; no common sense.
Beeing/becoming rich aint equal to raising their IQ.
And usually it's not even 'cause they're "dumb". It's just that they never had been put in such situation, which raises stress levels and then "turns" the brain more and more "off", the more stress.
/DBB
You realize that the profile/aspect ratio of the tires has no relation to tread depth, right?
... right?
"I'm so happy right now, with the quality of these rain pants" - Mate you could come over here to the UK and fit right in! Sarcasm is our thing :D
Yah please put a link to those awsome rain pants . I mean , self venting. Awsome. Thats the shit you would get off chinas temu
Lol. Just realized why I like Mr. Hewes videos so much. I thought it was the tanks.
When you add together fuel, equipment needed, wear and tear, and of course time. How does Casey actually make money ? I have heard others who provide RUclips content say only really highly watched vids make any money.
@@davebest5624from towing?😅
@@davebest5624 In 14 hours since this video posted it has gotten over 165,000 views and over 21k Likes, and you start making money after the first 1000 views. Casey knows how to play with You Tube. One of his favorite toys.
Happy New Year Casey and family.
Good job to tow driver for getting them out!
I sure hope that lady got her 400 back!!!
That price is enough to pull a big semi out!
Always impressed by how people with your skills can instruct someone to drive out of a bad situation
Me too 😊😊
Thanks for doing what you do Casey, I’m a tow truck driver in Alberta…..Appreciate your hard work and community help. Be Well
I clicked the LIKE button the second Casey said "...and one thing I love doing is screwing with RUclips. "😂
Not me I was holding off.
Then that cutie pie came on at the end. How could I not ? I got scammed lol
I did the same...
@@blueboy387 I can't wait now. I just started watching this
I did the same
Same!
I've made an ice rink for several years (about 13) here on a lake in Sweden now. I've tried a lot of different ways to try to make a good ice, different pumps, different ways to flush in different conditions, different scrapes an angles for the plow on the ATV. Finally, last year I made a Zamboni and this year I succeeded. It made the difference. The reason is with a solution like that you put thin layers of water that's get solid with the previous ice. If you flush you get to much water, the surface layer freeze first and the water between that and the old ice (with a little rest of snow) freezing later with some air in. The ice don't last for the skates. I can tell you a lot more if you want more help. The reason I do a ice rink is the same as yours. At the 24th of December we were 74 people (it only lives 45 here permanently) from the village and surroundings that met on the ice and have "fika" (Swedish). Good luck!
Sorry I wrote in wrong.
You are a truly generous human being for not charging those people for all the effort you put in.
Casey is absolutely my type of guy. Makes shure that if he makes one group of people mad, he follows up with everyone else so no one gets left out.
*sure. Shure is a manufacturer of microphones :)
@@zaprodk I knew I mispelt it. I just couldn't figure out the right way. Also, I just happen to have a Shure microphone. They work great.
Last time I dealt with a Tesla in the snow I got frustrated enough I went and borrowed a friend’s skid steer and plowed the rd like the interstate. I was over paranoid of a damage claim.
That’s the best for sure!
I wouldn't be paranoid about a damage. The video speaks for itself. A Tesla in these conditions. It's on the idiot Tesla owner. As Casey is explaining and the driver keeps saying I know I know. So if you know why are you there. I don't even see a charging station.FN idiot
But “you told me to go for it” lmao.. you’re a blessing Casey
Was giggling to myself when you talked about people getting stuck after the snow has stopped and the sun is out. I was on a forest road off HWY 88 last March when I came across a couple in a BMW who were hung up in a deep snow patch.
Here's the picture; narrow road maybe 12 ft. wide on a north facing slope of around 70 degrees. They're right in the middle with no way to go around them. I pulled them out, with my Jeep, to where they could turn around. They then fallowed me out as I broke a path for them, back through the snow.
A reminder: low slung street cars and forest roads are not a good combination especially during winter or just after.
What's even funnier is pickup drivers with crappy tires getting stuck in almost no snow.
@@SlyNine: Funny you should mention that. My other vehicle is a 2017 Ram Tradesmen
2-wheel drive w/open dif. Because I live in the Sierra foothills, I know how fast the weather can change in the mountains at any time of the year. That is why I keep a set of snow chains in both vehicles year around.
Why the Jeep also? Because no tire works well on wet ice (at or just under the freezing point) unless it is studded
@@d.s.steele3100 I wish I had kept it, but it was falling apart inside after over 300k miles. I had a 98 Grand Cherokee AWD and there is no better vehicle for horrible icy conditions. I could drive like it was a normal day in conditions 90% of the public would not go out in, including ice.
Casey, you deserve a huge reward for helping them out in a blizzard. You are lucky that you didn't get stuck!
That was NOT a blizzard jus a bit of light snow.
And that was not luck, that was skill... says a 45 year snowplowing veteran.
It’s a kind gesture but it’s also content to film 😊
@seanlindy Yeah but it’s content hard earned 😊
What was that Tesla driver thinking? He wasn't thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thankyou Casey for helping people that don't think!
Dude has an AWD… what could go wrong?😂
Anyone who buys into this EV garbage has no brains to think with to begin with.
@@jasonmansfieldsr8645 Hehe, just like that CyberStuck, that couldn't get up a snowy driveway😀
its a tesla it can go anywhere , low center gravity heavy lion battery snow plow
The main thing I can see that went wrong was that he didn't turn his traction control off ,having all four wheels turning might have helped considerably. @jasonmansfieldsr8645
I've never watched you before first time ever.I subscribed to you and I gave you a like after watching the video.I cannot believe that you are such a kind person because we don't have kind people out there I know.
I'm a really kind person So you really made a difference in their life, especially after they got scammed.Thank you so much
I loved the night footage with the snow falling - proper festive for us in the UK that get 1/4” of snow melting as fast as it falls and start trying to build snowmen 😂
Without people that apparently think their Tesla’s are 4 wheel drives and all the other people he helps,and he holds no judgement against them,we would not be able to enjoy his videos….lol..Thanks for all you do Casey! You’re a heck of a man.
Casey did mention this was an AWD Tesla. I do think the Tesla owner was a bit optimistic in thinking there would be any other outcome than the one they met.
This was an AWD Tesla. The AWD system is actually quite capable. And it looked like the car had Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires, which are supposed to be pretty good in the snow.
I think the main problem was ground clearance.
Well done job as always I had to laugh wen he keeps driving and your no no as the video went on I thought tow and dash ha ha that was not the case though
@@juiceman72x Yep, this was entirely a problem of inadequate ground clearance. The Cross Climate is a very capable tire worthy of its Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating, but no amount of mud and snow knobbies will save you from getting high centered. It's just a lot easier to do on a low-clearance vehicle like a sedan.
I for one think that Tesla had NO business being out there.
Casey, you have the patience of Job dealing with people that have more money than sense. Bless you.
We Aussies have no idea of the problems you guys have in winter. I found his efforts fascinating. How you people put up with snow and ice like that is quite humbling for those of us who have only seen ice in a fridge.
I’ll take some snow over poisonous snakes and spiders!
We complain about it to each other constantly, joke a lot, and help each other out much more often than those in warmer climates (from my experience after living in both)
Also we make false dreams of moving somewhere warm. I say false dreams because people rarely do because of separation from family and friends, lol
Some goofs even find ways to enjoy the weather, like snow sports n such
Casey, thank that Tesla owner for letting the tow truck gods convince him to drive up that mountain in the snow. In that car, otherwise we would not have this great video of you being you. This has been quite fun.
Looks like most sedans this would be a problem for. Aside from what most believe, they're very good in the snow. This tow truck driver doesn't know what he's talking about!
@@Someone_Cool.x3think most of his complaints were about recovery points on Tesla. Wonder if had snow tires, cause Tesla are usually really good in snow
Grew up in the Adirondacks, then settled further South. One day, I was doing the usual 'look what a pro can do' to the ice-snow-challenged locals when I discovered that my skills were gone. The subsequent ride added to the laundry. Much of those skills are not even conscious. Enjoyed your value-added comments.
I wish there were more people like you in this world!
I knowed four. One of them is Mathew Parker.
“Be the change you want to see in the world”
Be one of them
Thank you for being an honest tow company. You are an inspiration for the rest of the industry.
I appreciate how much thought you put into the recovery as to not cause any further/unnecessary damage to the car. I could only pray that everyone had the same level of passion and pride in not just doing a job, but doing it well.
Best wishes and safe travels sir~
Agree about radios. I use them everyday, but when we get new folks in, sometimes radio usage is their biggest learning curve-and some just never figure it out.
Not only does your tow truck handle well in the snow, it makes beautiful music with a singing winch and squeaky wipers! 🎶 😅
By the way... your night-time video is way better than a lot of daytime videos. 👍
I don’t work in the towing industry. I did grow up around it, from winch outs to repos I’ve been around a lot of the work that goes into this business. The fact you do it for free is pretty awesome. You definitely gained a subscriber. Love you Bye.
I cannot believe how much you put yourself through to help other people.
AWD, traction control, and ABS are god sent to a point! That point ends up being hell for a guy like Casey. Just because your Tesla or Subaru can doesn’t mean you should, think about that person that will have to fix the mistake
I'm pretty sure he didn't turn those systems off, like you should when stuck.
I believe that an AWD system without locks, you are supposed to have “those systems” on, and then give enough juice to it. So that when it brakes the slipping wheel, there would be enough power to turn the other wheel as well. You can see that the car isn’t really trying until he steps a bit more to it.
@testi2025 I agree. It does seem like it doesn't really try.
I have tried to disable the stability features many times, and I believe that turning them off might solve that exact problem. 😊
Granted, it does depend on a lot of factors.
A lot depends on the driver and experience he/she has. It seems this guy wasn't that experienced.
@testi2025 Also, yeah, AWD isn't good for off-roading.
It is reasonable until a wheel starts slipping, but from then, it really sucks because it doesn't help if you have 4 wheels for traction when only one or two is moving at the same time.
Same with 4WD without lockers.
The only usable off-road driveline is permanent 4WD with full diff lockers (front+mid+rear). That way, all wheels move in exact synchronization.
You were very well prepared for filming a night recovery, maybe the fact snow was everywhere helped. It really was done well compared to other YTers.
You sir, have the perfect attitude for this job! When a person is in a very bad situation, panic stricken, and worried to death you are a breath of fresh air to them. You stay calm and cool and never get a bit upset. I’ve seen you calm them many times just by your attitude. You not showing a bit of panic assures them that you can get them out and everything is going to be ok.
First time watching your videos, what a fantastic gesture you did not taking anything because they'd already been scammed, terrible weather, horrible night and you did it free, absolutely a lovely thing to do, you deserve everything you wish for, im from the UK 🇬🇧 and happy to support your channel give a thumbs up and share your videos, well deserved
Regarding the radios, in scuba diving we call it task overload. This means you are trying to do too many things at once and fail at achieving (any of) them or doing additional unintended mistakes.
Adding lack of experience in these situations and in consequence stress, your task capability drops dramatically. So if you’re ever in a situation like this- do one thing at a time and focus only on the most important task.
There is nothing so important that would make you drive a Tesla up a mountain in those conditions. Wow!!!
quickie?
Driving anything up a mountain in weather and snow pac is crazy regardless of what is being driven , when snow is higher then cars clearance it's just best to avoid . And Teslas are just plan not good for any snowy environments.
Made it further than a cyber truck could! It would've gotten stuck and rusted out before he got there
My RUclips videos say different @@douglasgraham8721
If a Tesla GPS screen says that this is the way, then that IS the way, no questions asked, period.
Front wheel drive in deep snow, dude! You have a heart of gold. $600.00 fee plus $600 tip if it were me stupid enough to drive front wheel in deep snow. I had a Ford bronco with 35-in tires back in the days and it loved the snow.
I don't mind the night vids at all. You're a kind and patient man, Casey! Always enjoy your channel!!!!
*"Click and subscribe!"* ... Miss Riley was the perfect "outtro" for this video! 😀
Absolute , need several more versions And a short intro ' In this video you will get a Recovery... Would Be Awesome...........
@@Stratos53100 Wife could do the intro and daughter can do the outtro.
24:39 At this point, most wrecker operators would be cussing up their own storm at this guy’s idiocy with all the extra hookups and pulls.
You remain calm and even chuckle at the situation which is a testament to your appreciation of humanity’s ability to screw things up far beyond reason.
Love what you do. Not charging them was so nice of you. I'm happy that your RUclips supporters allow you to do that
I can understand a Subaru with their phenomenal AWD but a heavy loaded with batteries Tesla with summer tires in heavy snow? One would think that going through the first part with 6-8” would have made the owner turn around. You have a tremendous amount of compassion and patience to work in these situations. Casey do you ever wonder what goes through these people’s minds? Awesome recovery Casey!
This was more an issue of ground clearance than traction. With AWD and the weight from the battery that Tesla probably has near Subaru traction. It has a inch or two less of ground clearance than a Crosstrek. It also has a big flat bottom that is like a giant sled for high centering. I loved my Wrangler TJ but I had to watch out for getting high centered in snow on the skid plate.
@@C_J_81 It was seriously stuck, not once, by several times.
Those were not summer tires.
@@C_J_81 In my youth I did the same stupid thing with my CJ7 on 32's. It was late spring but still 2-3 feet snow on driveway to our cabin. Wanted to get to the door as I had a big floor sander loaded in the back of the truck. Got 20 yards before I was totally afloat on all four wheels. Had to have a nearby hotel's tractor pull me out and I learned my lessons - deep snow is like nothing else. Respect.
Tesla AWD vehicles are great in the snow. Also those aren’t summer tires. Those are cross climates and are “all weather” tires that do decent in the snow.
So Wise , Thank You . 1 time when I was coming home I high centered my Cavalier on the county road , fortunatly a neightbor came by and pulled me just enough to get off the hump . If we are making Laws 1 I would make is that EVERY Velcle MUST have 2 SOLID TOW Points Rated to Pull the Vechle out Front and Rear. So Wise You Must Do What Works for You
💋 Thanks for the Adventure. Happy New Year, everyone
Man you are the best, all that trouble and did not charge them towing fees. You did a good deed. Great scam awareness as well. Wish the best for you.
Oh the irony of how much diesel fuel burned through an old Ford was needed to pull out the environment friendly Tesla.
Good job Casey.
I think most cars wether gas or electric would have been stuck in that.
@@Matakui2011 not really also teslas cant handle the cold like this or the heat theres been plenty of people trapped in teslas and other evs in winter storms because they get barely any range in the cold waiting at charging stations trying to get to the next charging station and just not being able to keep warm because no charge = no warmth and no going literally anywhere and it prioritizes keeping the battery warm not you you get stranded very easily
Environment friendly? You being sarcastic? Electric destroys the planet far worse than fossil fuel. Look up lithium mines if you need convincing. Electric is trash.
@Marco-ip5cw like everything in life, be prepared. I love Electric vehicles but I don't own one because I can't see myself sitting waiting for my car to charge. 😅 maybe someday?
@@Matakui2011 Nah that Tesla ground clearance is terrible and the anchor point is so far in. They have Crossclimate tires which is very capable in the winter but not enough space beneath.
Your daughter is adorable. I remember a couple of years ago when she was operating the camera on a tow in the snow. They grow so fast. Awesome video
Wow! You just don't see that kind of generous and genuinen people like this anymore. They are few and far between. Good wholesome content and great recovery. Good people still exist people! Sending you and your family lots of blessings in the New Year and beyond 🙏👊
Tow Truck Hero!
"Go ahead and wait there"
You're funny, telling someone stuck in the snow to not drive away on you... LoL
Also, make sure to apply brakes when it's stuck 😅
What am I doing watching at 5AM?. Okay, Casey's back!
Absolutely HILARIOUS that you would Pin the post calling you a jerk ... LMAO thanks for the great content Casey
At first I they were trying to be funny.
It was so very nice of you to help them for sooooo many hours and not even charge them even a small amount. May God bless you.
Feels like a video from the beginning Casey! Love that ford wrecker don’t ever sell it. Even though everything has a price 😂
Nothing beats a diesel tow truck💪🏻💪🏻
What was he thinking being on that road
He was driving Tesla what you expect 😂
tesla drivers don't think, just believe the new green deal bs
Just like Prius owners.
Instead of saying the same thing what the f*** was somebody thinking driving a Tesla in 2 ft of snow. That's a special kind of stupid. Hope you charge their asses good
With a majority of Casey's videos like this the answer is usually "GPS told us this was the way to go" on their way home from one of the ski/snowmobile/recreation areas and they don't ever stop to consider maybe it's too bad and they should back out to a main road and go the long way around.
I have a 91’ IDI and lived in Tahoe/Donner for a few years. Truck ran flawlessly in cold winter storms without a beat. Got to the point that CHP recognized me after awhile and would willingly let me drive up closed passes. “If that beast can’t make it, then no one can”
I just love how a gas/diesel powered vehicle came to rescue an electric car😂
It's a Tethered Car
People Like.
Us need people like you. Thank you so much❤
You're my favorite RUclipsr I love you.
You have a good vibe, You're not trying to sell me s*** all the time and you're doing good.
Thanks man
Great video! The second you said you weren't going to charge them, I subscribed, liked, and commented (especially after they got scammed)... It's things like that, that make a big difference in people's lives and in this world. I'm sure they will be telling this story for years to come. You are a good man. God Bless!
I couldn’t stop laughing. You said “Go for it” and he did!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best initial 15secs of any vid I've seen from you to date. LMAO Casey!
“I was about to say i don’t know what i was talking about, but i was wrong” lol imma use that from now on
Nothing like driving in deep snow with normal road tires to show someone how intelligent you are!
Actually had you been paying attention they had really good snow tires on the car.
They would have got stuck no matter what tires they had on.
Nifty/experienced...Not necessarilly intelligent. Don't mix these two.
Gotta live a little. Just have the ability to get yourself out
@@richardthomas1743 Those look like Michelin cross climates to me. I wouldn't call that a real snow tire, even though it has the rating for it, it is still an all season tire.
This tesla driver is PROOF that not all TESLA Drivers are smart or capable DRIVERS!!!
IF THE SNOW IS TALLER THAN YOUR TIRES... GO BACK!!!
IF you're backing down the mountain STAY ON THE DAMN TRACKS!!!!!
Now U realized how arrogant these tess owners R. Because they know if there in trouble there's way 4 them 2 🐝 saved. But true reality is your no different than any other person on the road. Just because Ur driving US of A comp EV. Makes U special treatment or above anything. I even heard a menopause white woman yelling police officer I'm driving tess. I was like just because U drive tesla doesn't make your above the law. 😮
No reason why Elon couldn't make any tow points on these stupid vehicles. Every manufacturer should have 2 tow points on every vehicle front and back for a total of 4
Same as every manufacturer out these days. Stop.
No one is doing it these days. The only tow point on my 2013 Ram 1500 is the trailer hitch. If I didn't have a trailer package a half ton truck would have no points.
@@coreyalfredson7986 Still a 'cool' Trump- car though.
It's time that lawmakers legally mandate recovery points.
Every manufacturer on the planet have decided that the lack of recovery points are the customer's problem, not theirs. If they can cut 5c in cost they will.
They do only 2 tow hook points that are in the bumper with the hook stored in the vehicle
That was a very kind gesture to help them people out at no charge. Hats off to you sir🙏
