    Tiffany & Michael, thanks for the awesome videos! My husband and I currently live in a townhome in Lake Mary with my parents living in TV. Dad is 90 and just stopped driving his car due to medical issues. Mom is 88 dealing with memory loss. He and mom currently own a Clubcar golf cart and he wants to purchase a newer model as this will be their sole method of transportation. We saw your video a few weeks ago and I want to bring them to Hidden Creek Golf Cars for a test drive. I have left 3 messages for Hidden Creek over the last two weeks and haven’t received a response. I will be calling and speaking to Ray tomorrow. Jeff is 65 and I’m 57. He works fully remote and I work a hybrid schedule. The goal is to purchase a home in the villages as dealing with an hour drive each way to TV can prove difficult. Thanks again for the great videos around TV!

    Hey Tiffany. A suggestion for the charging cords in your way! You should plug them in the backseat charging area and bring the cords through the middle of the front seats for you.

    Thanks Michael & Tiffany! Very cool golf car. What makes me especially happy is to see companies start to embrace electric vehicles and start adding standard features you would expect... As I understand it, the four forward-facing seats do not make it any longer than a "normal" two-plus-two car. Having the seats in-between the wheels an especially nice touch for comfort and a "car-like" driving experience.

    • @MichaelTiffanyTVE
      @MichaelTiffanyTVE  2 месяца назад +3

      Absolutely! Totally agree. The 4 forward is actually a little shorter than the 2+2 and the ride is very smooth. Thanks!

    Thanks, as always, for sharing your journey and helping those of us still thinking about TV. It sounded like you were going to have a follow-up video, and if you're willing to share more, it would be interesting to know what the add-ons cost, particularly the upgraded battery pack. Having those 100 extra amp-hours really seems to make the difference for the electric carts and should be more range than most people could possibly use in a day. (Same story for full-sized EVs. Most people claim range anxiety as a deterrent, but may never or rarely travel more than the vehicle's range.)

    • @MichaelTiffanyTVE
      @MichaelTiffanyTVE  2 месяца назад

      Thanks so much! We will do follow up videos and share more info (price for upgrades, what range we get for 1, 2, 3 and 4 passengers as we drive around TV more, golf cart gadgets, modifications, etc.).
      The 205Ah is no longer available (to my knowledge). The 160Ah ($1,500 upgrade cost) should be enough range for most.
      We used to have range anxiety before we bought the Tesla and our EV golf cart so we went with the largest batteries we could get at the time for both.
      Our real world experience is that we have plenty of range for our daily driving needs (and for long trips). Our batteries very rarely go below 50%. Will share more about real range vs range anxiety in future videos.
      Seat swap is $800 per set of seats ($1,600) total. Regular rain enclosure is $800 and the Sunbrella rain enclosure is $1,400.
      They offer a lot more add-ons and upgrades and are great (no pressure folks) to work with. Give them a call or use the form on our website to contact them. They will be glad to answer any of your questions or give you a more accurate quote.

    The location of the USB ports could be moved and the empty holes pluggedor, just have additional ports installed and leave those as secondary. Also I wouldn't like the roof grab handles inside being the same color as the roof, making them harder to see. I also installed some dome lights on my Yamaha, which are touch actvated, they come in handy. Thanks for the tour.

    • @MichaelTiffanyTVE

    I'm in love with your golf cart!! We need to get back and start looking at them. I want to start here! I don't think we have room for 4 forward though, will have to see. I'll have to look into the lowered roof too, because we're up by the Savannah center and I believe there are a couple 78" tunnels up by us. I have the tunnel specs doc from districtgov so I'll double check that. And I agree, no black seats in the south! 😊

    Not sure if you'll see my comment since the video is a bit older. Is this golf cart considered a LSV (low speed vehicle) that requires registration and higher insurance? I noticed the speed is up to 25 and that's one of the qualifiers.

    Great video - thanks for sharing all the useful info! We are definitely looking to get an electric golf cart in the next few weeks. It seems like the perfect use case for electric - secondary/discretionary vehicle, generally low distances, etc. We checked out an Evolution, same model as yours but the 2+2 configuration. Looks great and has a GREAT price, but we actually didn't like the larger seats (prefer the bench seats) and the position of the steering wheel (seems like it projects out too much). To me it felt like we'd be buying a non-Tesla EV....ie you can certainly do that, and there's a lot of them out there, but they all just seem a few generations behind Tesla in terms of features and worked-out kinks. Probably going to go look at an EZGo next, but we'll see!

    Love the cart! What is the range of the extended battery?

    • @MichaelTiffanyTVE
      @MichaelTiffanyTVE  2 месяца назад +3

      Thanks so much! We did a 44 mile trip and still had 52% battery range. So based on this I am guessing 80 to 90 miles (with 1 to 2 people). Will document and share more range info in future golf ride videos (for 1, 2, 3 and 4 people riding in the cart). Will also do a golf ride video (soon) to see just how far we can go on one charge and still get home. Stay tuned!

    Enjoy your videos, the golf cart cost about 9600 but what about the cost of the new seats,larger battery and the rain enclosure,if I am comparing to gas before I purchase. Thanks again for a great video😀

      Thanks so much!
      The battery upgrade (and other upgrades) were add-on options from our golf cart dealer at time of purchase.
      The 205Ah is no longer available (to my knowledge). The 160Ah ($1,500 upgrade cost) should be enough range for most. Seat swap is $800 per set of seats ($1,600) total. Regular rain enclosure is $800 and the Sunbrella rain enclosure is $1,400.
      They offer a lot more add-ons and upgrades and are great (no pressure folks) to work with.

    Love the color combo and that so much is Standard with this car. Do you know if the battery even with the upgrade will go down quicker if you have all 4 seats occupied for a trip to Brownwood or Sumter Landing? I wouldn't think you would notice any battery movement just going to Sawgrass but just curious.

    • @MichaelTiffanyTVE
      @MichaelTiffanyTVE  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks so much! We will do follow up videos and share more info and what range we get for 1, 2, 3 and 4 passengers as we drive around TV more.
      We used to have range anxiety before we bought the Tesla and our EV golf cart so we went with the largest batteries we could get at the time for both.
      Our real world experience is that we have plenty of range for our daily driving needs (and for long trips). Our batteries very rarely go below 50%. Will share more about real range vs range anxiety in future videos.

    I think they are trying to install so many features in such a small space. It makes things a bit awkward but at the same time at your fingertips. Are we really that attached to our devices that we need all that in a recreational type vehicle? I guess some of us are. I suspect maybe you need to be available to your employers. I wonder if the cup holders are vented for a reason. I’m sure they are for condensation, the very thing you are concerned about. Regardless, that’s a pretty snazzy conveyance.
