[@recklessrogue9027]

It was brilliant to see the original three back together! I'm impressed by the range of such a high mileage Model S and its aged really well - also there is no way it cost £250 to go there and back I've done Cornwall to London and back for £90 in an EV (also had you plugged in while going for toilet and coffee there would have been more than enough). But still really enjoyed the episode and look forward to more!

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

It's not that old, it's a 2017 model. We also don't know how many new batteries and engines it had. Alex said in his previous video about this car that it's still under warranty, which means he can get a new battery or engine if these fail. The previous owner might have done that more than once. Prices for electricity have skyrocketed recently, like in the last year or two. So depending when you did your journey in an EV, this might be the reason for the price difference.

[@insanityideas]

There were loads of ways they could have done the trip without hassle (just do what the satnav tells you to regarding charging), but that would have been a boring video. Instavolt is also one of the most expensive charging networks, filling that Tesla fully twice would have cost £148 to do approx 250 miles. Had they used Tesla chargers it would be £70, charging at home before setting off would have got it down to £7 to fill up. I cant see a diesel car doing 600 miles for £25, but to be clear they quoted that £25 as the cost of driving half way, which sounds fair, and is marginally cheaper than that Tesla, a newer smaller model 3 would use 2/3rds of the amount of electricity the model S uses.

[@faisalfaruque2849]

[@craigmck7271]

@@insanityideas I don't believe it would have been £250. The car would easily do 3m/kwh, so 600 miles = ~200kwh. Even at Instavolts ridiculous charge of £0.85 that is £170. £250 is the best part of 300kwh, so he's suggesting the car only got 2m/kwh, it's not an Audi :)

Scrolled down to see if anyone EV minded has looked at this video. Yes I like the 3 are back, wohoo! And I am somewhat pleasantly surprised by the first 20ish minutes. And then, a statement that it costs 80 quid to do in electric what you can do in 30 quid diesel. How? That pack has say 75kWh, and has been fully discharged. Supercharger price is around 0.5£/kWh, so 40£. If Alex had charged at home, would have been 10£, which you can not do in diesel, for a total roundtrip cost of around 50 quid. Diesel 60 quid. No story, nothing to talk about. How did we get to nearly 200 quid to go back home? I can't imagine how to spend 200£ on electricity on a 500mile trip, even with bad weather, AC, speed +VAT, we're talking of 400kWh worth of money, 1500-2000 miles, more if you hypermile. /rant over, glad to see Ethan, Jack and Alex back

[@aragorn084]

@@dragosmihai3489 looked like they started at an Osprey charger, which is potentially 80p/kWh, but the numbers still don't add up. I think he's added up both charges, which is essentially double counting the cost. You either start full and count what it takes to get back to full, or you start empty, fill and run it empty. Realistically if they managed 4mi/kWh, the 268miles they drove will have used 67kwh at a cost of say £46. So a bit more than the diesel, but most EV owners would have started with a full charge from cheap home electricity and the outward trip would have costed a fiver.

[@AHVENAN]

One little trick that I learned when driving Teslas for work, when you're approaching a relatively long/steep downhill section, get the car up to your desired speed, and when you start going downhill, shift it into neutral and just coast down the hill, that way the car uses literally zero energy for propulsion and since it is a relatively heavy car, gravity helps it keep the speed up. It is a bit tricky to smoothly shift back into drive once you start dropping below your desired speed but with some practice it becomes second nature

[@JoeHardman]

Why not set cruise control to the desired speed and let the battery regen downhill? Then you're putting energy back into the battery rather than wearing your brakes. I've gained back >1% battery in certain instances doing this. Obviously it depends on the elevation change and speed.

[@DigiDriftZone]

​@@Twin.motors For the sake of argument say you only have 1 longer drive per month, that means an EV range will be enough for you 96% of the time, sounds great right? Hell let's say you only have 4-5 longer drives per year: a family member situation, taking a friend to the airport, a summer trip etc then it's 98.6%. If your fridge ran 98.6% of the time, but every other month your house fills up with stench of spoiled food when it shuts off for the day. Is that fine or is that not fit for purpose? I have nothing against EVs, I love my PEV and for some people an EV makes a fantastic choice as maybe a second or third car. But let's be realistic about costs and practicality: 99.9% of the time an EV will cost a lot more in depreciation (30-50% more depreciation) and/or battery replacement or motor costs alone (8 year average lifespan for a battery) vs any possible savings. Plus your daytime electricity goes up by an average of £40 per month switching to an EV tariff which owners always forget to factor in. I mean the car in this video had roughly £60k in repairs done to it and needs another £14k battery imminently (that's 3 refurb batteries, 2 motors so far), this negates any fuel saving even if your electricity was 100% free, which of course it isn't. The difference per mile is also more like 8p in an EV home charging vs 11p in a typical diesel, not that big, but the cost per mile with public charging is 2-3x higher in an EV, painful.

 There are also many hidden costs in EV ownership, coffee/snacks at every 40 min charge stop, imagine you parked up at home and someone invites you to an event or dinner? - you now need to get an Uber as your car won't be charged for another 8 hours. The extra planning/charging time and driving slower means you can't travel when you want and you may be pushed into rush hour or need to factor in hotel costs to stay over night. There may be a broken charger or a queue that completely derails your plans adding extra costs and frustration. Range is also still a major problem. In the winter, if you have multiple stops with heating on, the realistic range drops to around 75-85 miles (search Tesla 75 miles winter). In the summer, it's more like 180 miles on most EVs (60kWh) because most public chargers flat out won't let you charge above 80%. So realistically, you only have 10-80% charge (always subtract 30% from any range test), anything outside that is either not available at all or will cause damage to the battery.

 Getting 75-85 miles means the car is unusable in winter, but even 180 miles is not enough for most city to city trips in the UK. In a diesel, you can drive to a meeting or an exhibition in Birmingham from Romford and be back to your family for dinner with half a tank left, that's just not possible in an EV. You're looking at 2-5 charge stops depending on weather conditions and probably a hotel.
 Worst of all of this is the inconsistency: the same trip you've done countless times may suddenly turn into a nightmare because of a broken charger, queue or colder than expected weather, or the car may randomly decide to slow charge at midnight for no apparent reason (as has happened to my Uber driver the other day and he had to sleep in the car). This is before you get to other problems like the daily battery drain and 40% of households not having a drive to home charge, etc. Food for thought :)

It's so good to see these 3 back!! Their career was dead at Car Throttle. So glad they finally got out and joined you!!

[@tanmaysai5961]

2015-2020 peak memories, love all but its memories man, shed a tear almost!

[@TK-Touring]

Would you look at that! Ethan and Jack appeared out of the blue... who knew eh 😉😂 so glad to see you guys back together!

[@Cars_and_adventures]

270 miles for an electric car with 440000 miles is incredible what a car !! Also nice to see Jack and Ethan back on side !

[@steilkurbler4973]

Yeah it definitely is. But what the hell is up with charging prices in the UK? In germany one charge at home would have been around 40€ (40ct/kwh) and on expensive fast chargers around 70€ (75ct/kwh). How the heck does this trip cost them almost 300£? I don't get the math.

[@davefitzpatrick4841]

​@@steilkurbler4973they could have used Tesla superchargers that are far cheaper, but decided to opt for more expensive chargers 'to show how expensive it is to run a Ev' . There's a good possibility that model s had free supercharging as well, meaning the previous owner of that car ( taxi driver) would have saved around £37,500 over that 450k miles just in fuel alone .

[@steilkurbler4973]

@@davefitzpatrick4841 That's propably it. I also find it rather interesting that the car's battery is still in such a good shape after 450k miles, given it's the first one. Even if it had one battery swap it would still be quite good. That's not bad for any kind of vehicle.

[@michaelatkinson7577]

@@steilkurbler4973 most folk at home would be charging at 7.5p kwh in the Uk.....

[@dangr3957]

I have seen the first video of this high mileage car and he mentioned that it has no free supercharger however it’s a late 16 car so it should have it (till March 17 all Model S and X come with this perk) but it went back to Tesla at some point and they took it out or Tesla found out that it was used as a taxi and they stripped off the free charging. It’s actually not allowed to use free charging cars for business use.

[@LazerMarsupial]

THEY ARE BACK!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! THE TEAM IS BACK.. We have CLARKSON, HAMMOND AND MAY at home..... but it makes me very happy

[@RichyLBE]

It was so great to see Ethan & Jack, i would love to another episode of car guys/non car guys with Alex and Ethan

[@esm7708]

Aside from you choosing the most expensive way to charge it this Tesla is undeniably amazing. As much as I do like Saabs.

[@Transport_7715]

Glad Jack and Ethan back with Alex, a dream team since CT

[@PointNemo9]

Is CT dead now?

[@Hassan123H]

Refreshing to leave Taylor and Rory behind

[@AcrobotMovies]

Kudos to the editor, great transitions and video compositing. And hooray for the new team members!

[@PsycoGutz]

Through a rough patch in my life your route with Jack and Ethan in the NC500 catch me as a fan of the trio and cars in general. Thanks for those's memories and for this new experience you now share with us Alex!

[@mkab1865]

im happy to see the trio back together (alex, jack and ethan)

[@DavidVinnyjr-pd8ji]

Yes!!!!

[@Vigilant.CitizenGaming]

JAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!

[@mohawkmonkey0216]

There is too much going on. All the gear, now this 15 minutes later. TDC video in 15 minutes?

[@slavplaysgames]

Maybe get a life and stop sitting infront of your pc 24 7 watching others live life while you sit at home like a loser ?

[@sbarneaionut]

Welcome back lads😁 Happy about it! Also, can we just appreciate the fact that the Tesla still did 200 or so miles still after what a life it had? Goes to show there is still some life left in them compared to other sh ev’a of the time.

[@TechmanAmz]

Seeing all three of you guys back together really is great! So glad! Keep it up lads!

[@kilobitti]

Nerding out in terms of energy; a quarter of tank is about 15 litres, and one litre of diesel is about 10kwh. The Tesla p90d has a nominal capacity of 90kwh, usable capacity is about 82 kwh. So very roughly; The Saab used roughly 150 kwh of energy, the Tesla about 82 kwh.

[@Twin.motors]

Also the Saab has 150hp vs the 400hp in the Tesla..

[@grippingyarnsuk]

Good to see the old team back

[@J4YZEY]

This video felt so homely 🤗

[@kidcowdy1231]

So good having the trio back together!!

[@danmason5241]

I was literally thinking 'what are Jack and ethan doing' after the recent Car Throttle videos (which lack any chemistry/personality) and BOOM . HERE THEY ARE. glad Jack and ethan are back!!!

[@Crazy_Borg]

"It's 7 PM...and I am in Cornwall..." Well, you can see the pain in his eyes. 🤣 Glad to see you 3 back together in a video.

[@stevencooper2339]

@autoalex recommended tyre pressures for the model S is 42psi
