moving away from Tesla? (and updates for 2023)

Looking forward to what you’ve got planned!

Mr. VanDeVoort, this is the wonderful kind of content I know I can trust. I recognize all the faces in your video and know them to be kind and straight forward when asked of their opinion. I look forward to learning more from you all! Safe travels!

Thank you! I forgot to mention in the video that I'm also planning livestream interviews (video podcast). Jason and Charlie were great to work with this last year - I'd love to work with them again and have some additional collabs in mind to share all kinds of EV and tech knowledge.

Great quality video! Thanks for sharing!

[@JohnVanDeVoort]

Thanks Ken - I appreciate that :)

I always like to encourage other people to spend money on new toys, so I'm definitely on Team EV Truck!

Keep doing it! And where can I buy that lamp?

[@JohnVanDeVoort]

The lamp was from Target. The bulb is a Philips Hue Edison LED bulb. Thanks for the watch!

As a TMYLR owner 3:48 I'm interested in your overall user experience throughout your ownership journey. How is your vehicle living up to what was claimed or what you expected versus reality. How is each drivers reality versus the claimed 'EVs need no maintenance'. Many of the Tesla long range ownership claims (ie. 300K miles or more) involved Model S, so eager to see how well TMY approximates some of these experiences.

I've owned it now for 4 years and 85,000 miles. Other than the AC compressor going out in Feb 2023 and a dirty radiator that caused climate control issues in April 2024, I haven't had any recent service needs. It performs great and battery degradation has been very minimal.
