[@ZombieTide]

Some people may not like it, I loved the time lapse drive. I've never been to TX so I enjoyed seeing it virtually.

[@bradleypollack5658]

Not missing much.

[@Tillbilly]

Hell yeah , glad to see another happy customer, his Lincoln was a beauty

[@montyholland3357]

Austin Buddy, great to see you. Thanks for helping Randy

[@jims5338]

Great video Randy, from somebody watching for a long time from the Uber Man days. As someone with a Model 3 with 94k miles, I had to chuckle a little at your "noob owner" experiences that we ALL go through LOL! I have multiple road trips and they don't really take any appreciably longer- you'll get better and learn to trust the car more. You are spot on with the many advantages and you'll only learn to love the car more with time. One suggestion- don't get the pricey wall charger! Just install a 220V dryer plug for the charger you already have as it is more than sufficient.

[@autobahnman6869]

Hey randy, I really wanted to comment on Jason jealous rant comment....... what's his point, if you work hard enough you can accomplish and have whatever you want, if you rant on other people's progress and not tend to what you got going on you would never amount to nothing

[@Randomperson101201]

Man this video was pretty cool. What a vibe Randy, love your work and what you do

[@tony_25or6to4]

Travel tip Get Glad Press 'N Seal and cover the front of the car. It should stay in place like vinyl wrap. When you get home, peel off. No bugs.

[@inhawaii4941]

Or clear bra to protect from rock chips

[@tony_25or6to4]

@@inhawaii4941 yes. LegitStreetCars just had a clear self-healing wrap put on his salvage Tesla. Press 'n Seal is cheaper.

[@JoeManLARockinEmpire]

I was there for the Livestream. Now I'm Back to watch it again. Love the music on the Time Lapse, and the Footage. Well done Randy 👍

[@kevinhitchcock7062]

My Grand Marquis used only about 55 gals from Fort Myers to Buffalo 1400 miles. About 25 mpg.

[@taz7657]

Hmmm... Lincoln $4000 Tesla $64,000 I can buy alot of gas and perform alot of maintenance on the Lincoln for 60k. And on top of that not have a $1000 a month payment.

[@geodun]

More content in the Tesla :)

[@FreeBandsTy]

He’s pays 1k a month for that shit wtf I’ll rather a hellcat

[@autobahnman6869]

But it's still not a Tesla, I don't care if you put 100,000 in that Lincoln it will never amount.... if I ever decided to get a super car a Tesla will be on the list for all the people that want to troll.

[@mexicanspec]

@@autobahnman6869 That is a good thing, the Lincoln is not a Tesla.

[@taz7657]

The thing is that Tesla will never have the ride or comfort of that Lincoln. And me I am a simple person. That Tesla does not intrest me at all.

[@groyper6567]

2.00$ for gas. 30$ to fill the town car. Miss those days

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

You do live in gods Country beautiful time lapse

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks man! Love that song too!!

[@Carls_World]

Yo, I know you probably already know this but I figured I would share. I'm 45 and have been homeless once and now I do well because I built passive income that would support my family etc. I almost went homeless again during the last economic downturn. I hope you're establishing yourself with passive because KZbin might not always pay out what they are currently. Yada yada yada. Either way, I just want to see you continually succeed. Keep up the great work bro.

[@autobahnman6869]

What economic downturn? Never knew it was 1.... and why are some people focused more on randy's accomplishments and given advices.... one thing I don't do is go on anyone's advice I go with my gut extinct and brick information some people lives are built differently than others so what didn't work for you worked for others to get where their at today.

[@Carls_World]

@@autobahnman6869 good for you. You should be happy with your accomplishments. I think Randy is doing great work and I want to continue to watch his videos as long as he puts them out. Anyway, preparedness is always good and I hope more people prepare for anything and everything they can think of. Either way, I hope Randy gets to a point where maybe he can hire someone to help produce more content then he can sit back, plan, and grow. Lol

[@Carls_World]

@@autobahnman6869 oh I forgot to mention. I agree with the gut, going by your gut is the best way in my opinion. The only thing that would override that is data. For me anyway. Anyway, thank you for your feedback Zoe.

[@Jddvs]

Randy does not appear to be investing in his financial long term security. Rather he seems to be building a debt portfolio. Of course, lenders are eager to extend credit based on Randy’s KZbin revenue. However, as Carl B stated, establishing sources of passive income is what is needed for the long term. I hope that Randy is getting solid financial advice and salting away some of his new found prosperity.

[@Carls_World]

@@Jddvs I'm sure he is, but doesn't really share it since his channel is all about auto etc. Either way, I'm sure he is tho

[@mexicanspec]

Randy, however much it cost you to go sit down and eat or drink something, that is what you need to figure for the expense to charge your car. You wouldn't have spent that money otherwise. Sometimes there is a casino there and it can cost hundreds of dollars to charge the car.

[@ThePickledGuy]

Good for you man, glad that things are working out for you. Best of luck!

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

How many extra hours did charging add to your trip? What’s an hour of your time worth? How much did you spend on food and coffees and such passing time at each stop? I bet if you factor those costs into the equation the Lincoln was cheaper. Love the video and appreciate the content...hope your enjoying the Tesla...I’m going to continue feeding the good old internal combustion engine for the foreseeable future.

[@PrestonCovell]

Randy, the video was a little longer than normal. With that being said, I felt I was well informed about the Tesla. You pretty much answered every questions I had about them. Thank you for the content. Enjoy the car and I wish you luck on the Corvette.

[@darrenbutland2056]

Loved the content. Here in Canada, range anxiety is the issue and with the effect of temperature on the battery, people won't make the move to electric as quickly as in the US.

[@benvan-ness1030]

Good to know about Tesla cars. No one I know on KZbin has done long distance realistic driving trips with the car and one can see some of the features and information screens up close. Love it

[@RobertMememe]

Not only superchargers there are destination chargers (most pay) that are even more places. Go to a motel that has one and charge it while you are sleeping. When you plan the trip in the car tell the car it is a round trip so it can better calculate charging. Have you set up sentry mode on the car that will record if something happens when parked or while driving. You just need to plug a formatted USB thumpdrive for storage

[@andyg6611]

Yet another awesome video Randy! Thanks for taking us all along and giving us non biased n very useful information...I've been giving serious thought to trading in my 2016 Mustang GT and going the Tesla way. I've done the math, assed my trade in value n looked into financing. A new 90D would only add about $150 to my current payment. Tesla here I come!!

[@stevenmorales4244]

It's nice to be able to get "free charging" on the Tesla but wherever you go of course its somewhere in an area that makes you spend money because you have to wait for it to charge.

[@isaiahkitts01]

Steven Morales exactly what I thought

[@billbrowning3021]

I love the Teslas, but I think you make the same mistake a lot of folks do- your time is not free. I would argue that your time is worth more than the gas you saved.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

And as my time is mine to choose how I spend it, I would disagree.

[@billbrowning3021]

Auto Auction Rebuilds Fair enough. It does tip the scales a bit in your favor since you can use it for content on KZbin.

[@ianmayer2951]

While it's charging for an hour... what do you do? go eat? 20-25$... you don't save anything.

[@jamie-hb8gy]

What a sunrise :)

[@ToyManFlyer1100]

Hahaha..As a guy thats lived in TX for over 20 yrs, always, always announce your arrival loudly..Otherwise, cousin Smith and Uncle Wesson might wanna have a talk w. you....Hahahaha!!!!!...😊😊😊...

[@saintfunny]

I have to say I do love those huge skies you have out there.

[@boblash7489]

but what about the maintenance on the airconditioning system and the heating system and all the complicated electronics in the car.....all that has to be super expensive to have fixed when it is out of warranty,,,,,,,have to remember there are no 20 year old teslas on the road yet,,,,,,,not to mention the cost of the car and the cost of the battery when i dies out of warranty...oh yea and what about the electric motors,,,,,,got to be another thing to think about.....

[@ChiralSpirals]

Randy: nobody in this small town seen a tesla : two more teslas show up 😆

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Very professional and informative video (the series of 3 so far). I prefer how your car looked at the first charge station on your way to Texas when you came out and a couple more Tesla's were charging. The one next to yours (appeared about the same color) had the dark wheels and IMO didn't stand as tall and proud as yours did. I wish you well with the car, your dealership and your life. (I think you drove us by some new houses a couple video's ago that you might be moving to - whatever! As long as all of you are happy it makes us happy. Sonny (CT)

[@lorenhiscutt978]

About time good things are happening to you 😊. May God bless you and your family 🙏. Love the channel

[@bren70ssss94]

Austin is a cool cat 👍👍 very helpful as always .

[@Duckswag87]

I was thinking about it while I was watching this video. Time vs. Money. My car has a capacity of 18.5 gallons and I usually get right at 17 gallons every fill up. With gas floating a little over $2 a gallon. A fillup is equivalent to my hourly pay. I get 400 miles ish to the tank. So an hour charge=an hour of my time. 1 tank fill up=my hourly pay. There is a 150 mile difference between the two and the Tesla has 0 maintenance so I’d say it’s pretty close. Interesting comparison. That is Tesla IS pretty slick.

[@MrNickNick]

Used to live in Texas many many years ago, so it’s awesome to see you driving through a region I'm familiar with. I personally wouldn’t buy an EV even if my life depended on it, as the disadvantages outweigh the advantages for me. Each to their own though. Keep up Randy, always love the content.

[@MASAudio]

Really enjoyed this.. I just bought a PHEV Mitsubishi Outlander and it's great.. only short journeys of 20 to 30 miles on battery alone but fast charges in 20 -30 mins or overnight at the house, great for my daily commute as i only do 20 miles a day.. and in the UK we have road tax.. and its £0.00 for the tax on my car due to it's very low emissions 👍

[@giantoracle7195]

Hey randy I love your channel and I love your cars so much and I have been subscribed to your channel for a few months keep up the good work

[@alexb2753]

40$ to drive 700 miles? Damn lady I thought people in Texas were nice? Love your channel & good luck with your ventures.

[@wadefarris308]

Do you plan on taking the Tesla to your detail shop for the paint correction & ceramic coating?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Tuesday, yes.

[@robertburke3316]

Congratulations on you finally winning the lottery! ( doing as well as you are). I hope you can attain all the lavish things you have gotten. Much luck Randy

[@pdlegend6829]

Tesla $60K but "free" to drive...have to stop for an hour every 3 hours...Lincoln $3K but cost $60 to drive...stop anywhere, anytime but only stop 2X... You do the math, as they say...Just sayin...I like the Teslas, but still not for long drives...

[@paulog8813]

One more time let me thanks God, Jeovah, Jesus, Alah and all other denominations for one more video without the annoying guy. Tks Randy

[@alexwilhelmi7513]

Loved the time lapse! Thanks for the great content Randy!

[@Randydaudt]

No dollars at all to drive the Tesla? No, you paid upfront to drive the Tesla for free, and wait until you have to replace some of Tesla's electrical components and see how free it is.

[@brianloberg5822]

Randy you still have to do breakfluid change and coolant change on Tesla's.

[@SadMadWolf]

I love these road trip videos.

[@Murdock068]

I just purchased a 2012 Chevy Volt and I’m loving it.

[@nik0189]

Did you check what is going to happen with autopilot once you have tesla assigned to your name? I heard that all those extra (autopilot, insanity mode..) are linked to user account and not to the car... I believe that Reach was talking about that.

[@SILVERBACK69]

NICE VIDEO!! AND DELIVERY INCLUDED.👍💥💥

[@frankm8533]

Cool trip Randy thanks for breaking down the numbers, I would have fell asleep in the Lincoln they are super comfortable, I hope the new house works out sounds good to me

[@AkinOladipo]

Love it, He said "Not that i don't trust the car but I don't yet"

[@chrissteeley6880]

So cool! But still seems like a pain in the butt to plan all of it out. AND I’m sure while you wait you’re buying crap at the “charging stations” you didn’t need. So, so much for the “savings”...

[@Badtheman1]

You're going to get a freaking sick driving around like that

[@thefrenchruraldream8069]

Another great video Randy....loved the road trip in the Tesla (always gonna get the haters lol) big congrats on the new house...nice to see its onwards and upwards....stay safe looking forward to the next one 👍🏻😁

[@bernardogutierrez3802]

Randy, this is one of the best videos you have ever made. Don't forget to give a uber x ride on it, you say it.

[@lorientmh]

I like the look of the Tesla and the promise it shows, but the limitations of the existing battery technology makes it not quite ready for prime time to me. The advent of newer battery types (dry cell, etc) have the potential to increase range substantially in a few years and could also herald a price drop for EVs. Until that time, I'll stick to the sidelines and enjoy my Equus. With gas prices in my area hovering around 1.69 a gallon, I can justify a nice long road trip solely for the sake of driving.

[@robertlombardi2228]

Well presented/explained video on documenting fuel range and reliability of your Tesaler.

[@jeffberwick]

Great video with lots of real-life facts for those who don't yet drive electric! However, I do want to make a small correction. At 26:00 you mentioned that the P100D should be slower than P90D, which in turn is slower than P85D, because you figured the smaller battery would be lighter. But Tesla made the P100D faster than P90D, and P90D faster than P85D. They can pull more power (higher current) out of the bigger batteries that more than compensates for any extra weight. So I would not suggest that you try to drag race a P100D!

[@fredmaxwell9619]

You might try spraying Pam on the front of your car if you are going to drive when a lot of bugs are out. Get to where you are going and just hose the front end off. I have done that during love bug season and it makes a huge difference, does not hurt the paint. If you are afraid Pam might hurt the paint try it on one of those auction cars.

[@plumber802]

I love a road trip Randy!! You should do more on the channel.

[@chinaexpat1827]

THANK YOU, YOU'VE OPENED MY EYES UP TO EVS

[@a4givn11]

little known major downside - if tesla is pissed at you for any reason - they shut you off - no charging any where but home.. - rich rebuilds -

[@leepeebles3960]

All i can say is Wow. Thanks Randy

[@BobPegram]

Thanks Randy, you answered all my questions, including how much it would cost to recharge a Tesla 3. This is a great time to test a Tesla, since there are more and more superchargers all over.

[@BobPegram]

Of course, you might have to make friends with Richie B Kidd of Rich Rebuilds in the future.

[@rustywrenchprojects4171]

Austin, you're doin a great job...but learn how to double Park... always....and way out in the parking lot to avoid door dings and Einsteins hitting your car while parking/leaving. If that was my car smoke wench hit.... the red truck would have a door dent in the shape of my boots.

Use A Better Route Planner to do trips. Shows you where the superchargers are and when to stop. If you charge between 20-80%, it's more stops, but less time charging. Even the onboard computer will tell you where and how often to stop.

“Moving on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky” like George Jefferson ... congrats on the new house.

[@PaganWizard]

I'm getting close to the end of a lawsuit, and I really hope you still have that Charger Police car when I do settle.........cuz I want it.

[@rickpayne2926]

It would have been great if the you would have adjusted the speed of the town car to arrive in 6 hours. That way it would have been a fair comparison of time to cost. I personally know that those town cars can get 28-30 mpg at 60mph.

[@andrewgonzalez309]

You can also get a full take a gas for under 2 min

[@dukagjin2850]

I am happy for new house but i am much happy for more big Garage 🤝 Big fan from Albania ☺️

[@townhall05446]

So... the car can auto-back itself crookedly into 1.1 parking spaces.

[@jeffberwick]

Forget the Tesla wall charger. Just wire up a 240V NEMA 14-50 plug, typically used for electric stoves or dryers. Cheap and nearly as fast to charge (30 mi/hour charge rate in a model S)

[@vairbob]

Randy you need a larger electrical extension cord ,I would say you need at least a 12 gauge cable if you are running 15 amps thru it....the cable you are using and could melt bob

[@philipberube2915]

where i live we dont have supercharges,and in maine teslas arent sold unless you practically go into new hampshire as well as we dont even have access to flex fuels like E85,people say go electric but cant do it if you dont have ways to use it.

[@MilosevicMarjan]

Here is one stupid question. How much you spend on coffe or other things while waiting the tesla to be charged that you would not be spending if you dont need to stop so often?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I stop every few hours anyway to use the restroom, and stretch. For me, it is no different that a gas car.

If you haven't seen it already, check out A Better Routeplanner to plan your next trips on the Tesla Supercharger network. You can set a roundtrip plan and it will give you the best superchargers to use along with how much time you need. Works similar to Tesla's nav, but a lot more detailed.

Randy. Look for Out of Spec Motoring on KZbin. The guy who runs it does tons of EV road trips and has the EV Cannonball record.
