My Ferrari 488 Surprised Me

Gotta say I didn't see this coming. Sometimes you just expect things to work, that wasn't the case here. Honestly this problem shouldn't be a problem, I would expect this to be a non-issue in modern day cars of any calibre.

[@gvc56100]

Part of Ferrari's anti theft system...it kills itself

[@sweaterwearingsquirrel9302]

Guy Mooglie Genius!!

[@step2191]

Well its not being driven away, theif needs a tow truck :-)

[@jonathoncole7020]

NOVA Dash Cam the whole system would lock up...

[@youtubasoarus]

"HA! You can't steal me... i'm already broken!"

[@step2191]

hahaha :-)

[@superspeeders]

To all who say the door being opened killed the battery, the fact that the window didn't go down when the door was opened and subsequently left open proved that the battery was already drained and dead before the door was opened. On to the next mystery.

[@WhatsAl2k]

superspeedersRob with the key coming not recognized and the window not coming down I'd def agree with the battery being dead. However I've always been told any high performance car like Ferraris ect should always be on a tender. Also, I know a few years ago you guys didn't but do you deliver from Philly to Pittsburgh? I'd return it to Philly.

[@Officialsearch21]

I was thinking that its built in for the California did they not do the tender for the 488? Its cool its a magnet now. You can now just drive away and pluck someones eye out.

[@jtredlines6208]

superspeedersRob never buy a brand new car lol

[@ikliapko]

superspeedersRob Use simple logic. The door was not closed completely so the window didn't lock in either. The battery died. So when you did close it completely the window didn't lock in because the battery was dead. Simple. It was definitely the door not being closed all the way.

[@Officialsearch21]

Ilya Kliapko He pretty much did think it through. Did you not watch it at all?

[@Wormweed]

Ferrari should just make the chasis and engine, and then let someone else do all the electrical stuff.

[@darios9797]

sounds like lamborghini :P

[@Wormweed]

Hey Baws Yeah, they fail often too. But a lot better electronics after Audi took over. And they still look amazing

[@sagarsarker6929]

Wormweed Koenigseggs and porsche are the only "reliable" super/hyper carmaker

[@Wormweed]

Sagar Sarker Yeah, you are probably right. I have worked as a Porsche mechanic, so i know they are great cars. Koenigsegg is great as well, but they are so expensive and rare..

[@sagarsarker6929]

Wormweed True and we have to appreciate koenigsegg for what they achieved for such a small car company.

[@lizardkeeper100]

If the door was open there was probably a sensor or light that was on that drained the battery,

[@2011blueman]

Lesson learned: if you buy a ferrari you should daily drive it.

[@electricsnut]

Yup, they you can break down on the side of the road instead of inside the garage, much more fun!

[@turboxide]

Well, if you drive it then they don't break. That's why he just said that.

[@ct1762]

yeah people don't keep their POS honda accord stored in a garage for months without fuel stabilizer. biggest enemy of an engine is idleness... by far. the manufacturing tolerances of a Ferrari are actually a bit better than most cars, meaning if they were daily driven, they'd last just as long with proper maintenance.

[@WezleyB]

Leggo My Ego yes, because they have a 5 year unlimited warranty. you can drive it for 2-3 years, take it in for full service, and sell it for almost what you paid for it... ;)

[@unlisted9494]

You should actually. Matter of fact, if you buy a new ferrari, you can typically drive is for 2-3 years and not lose a single cent on it.

[@spencerpoore5805]

Here in my garage just broke a new Lamborghini

[@georgesalmas4582]

Totally enjoy your videos (very informative) and totally enjoy your way of communicating. Keep them coming and don't change a thing.

[@snaaail]

Rob Surprisetti

[@billlee3646]

is there an option to get a real key or do you have to use robot shit?

[@E55BaeMG]

wow. sad that rich people are having a hard time with their supercars.

[@RetroMMA]

Instead of hating on them, aspire to join them (and their problems).

[@E55BaeMG]

The Mass Debator does that sound hate to you? you clearly didn't read it ye

[@gage-uo9pl]

E55 BæMG ?

[@General_Grape]

It sounds like jealousy to me. I also wouldn't classify him as rich, he can't buy any car in the world. He has his limits. He is merely a little better off than the average joe. He also worked for what he had. It's not like he found a suitcase full of money in the park lol.

[@HomeForGamersFTW]

DOn't know much about the guy but if he owns all the cars in that garage and he owns that garage then he is rich

[@midwesternexplorers8231]

Really enjoying your frequent vids and the comedy you subtlety throw into the mix! Keep up the great work on here Rob!!

[@theupscale7130]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video :) Thanks for the upload! Merry Christmas Rob!

[@DragTimes]

170 miles in 3 months, drive it! awesome car, but exhaust sounds terrible... :(

[@JeremyStJohn]

DragTimes he has a few cars. he does drive them except the supra.... but he even a said it when he got it that he wouldn't be able to drive it and enjoy it much due the weather getting bad. I am sure he will take it on an adventures drive

[@rafapozzan]

It's winter, snowing and stuff.... not ideal Ferrari weather

[@kashv2500]

Rafael Pozzan still, indoor heat cycles are needed

[@MarcSob22]

the sound of 488 is amazing

[@connor040606]

Lame, what! Have you heard a 488 fly by?

[@THEpicND]

Wow 400k and they tell you that it's acceptable for it not to start after 3 months with 170 mi on it. What The Ferrari

[@ITSTIMETOSTOP]

What the Ferretti

[@quentinc1275]

Ants In My Eyes Johnson what the spaghetti

[@ITSTIMETOSTOP]

Quentin C Moms spaghetti he's nervous.

[@herculesrockefeller2984]

rich guy problems

[@joelscb]

knees weak moms spaghetti

[@jodys714]

28 degrees F right now in Illinois and my 2002 Ford F150 started right up, has never left me stranded. Not bragging because I really like Rob and enjoy his videos.

[@MollyPopper]

The apple car's gonna steal that battery tender idea from ferrari.

[@WezleyB]

I had a battery tender... until I forgot to unplug it, and drove away....

[@easydoz1]

Its magnetic... Driving away just makes it fall off...

[@pdavid24]

+easydoz1 Wezley's wasn't magnetic.

[@helloby791]

+easydoz1 very few are magnetic…

[@WezleyB]

pdavid24 exactly....

[@pdavid24]

WezleyB Don't know why it had to be explained. Oh well.

[@Highgear145]

These cars are stupid my Honda Accord sat for 2 years untouched it started with first turn of the key

[@ND001X]

Torrey Ellison Ferrari's aren't built for reliability. There made for appearance, to show off. Its a symbol of wealth and success. No one aspires to buy a Honda, because any working class person can afford one.

[@Highgear145]

John Smith​​ Still needs to start, if I pay over 300k for a 2017 I want it to fucking start, is it too much to ask Ferrari to build a car that at least starts

[@harryhenderson792]

if it doesn't work then it is a symbol of stupidity for spending so much

[@InFamousDmac]

So what you are saying is people aspire to buy some shit that isn't reliable enough to start after sitting around looking pretty? I don't want to be on this planet anymore.

[@illtellulatta03]

This is a stupid comment. You drop that much money on a car and it dies in a few weeks is total bullshit. It's 2016 not 1950 there is no excuse anymore for this.

[@step2191]

Rob always has the best luck with his cars. A battery tender is found on most italian cars when people don't start them over a months time...

[@MrWildant]

Hi Rob merry Christmas by the way! Really enjoy all your videos! From Anthony in Swansea Wales U.K.

[@Mattwiistand]

Rob, If you read this I just want to ask you a favor. From all of us in our early twenties. If you could make a short video and share how you Gained success and maybe give us a few pointers on what it takes to be successful.

[@superspeeders]

+Matthewloa will try to do a video line that.

[@uyeisanoob]

in before "personal trainer"

[@ericwsmith7722]

Find something you like doing 12-18 hours a day, and hopefully you will get get lucky and be successful, And the key to taking a risk is NOT to have a back up plan, Complete failure is a pretty good motivator.

[@squeegied3rdeye713]

Matthewloa i think he already did that video. you are born with money, get in on the KZbin video craze early, meet the right people, invest on a 50/50 market like high end exotic car rental and get lucky. Easy.

[@herculesrockefeller2984]

If you have to ask someone how to be successful, you'll never be successful.

[@shehtazruslan]

he literally just bought the car and it died?? wow Ferrari is sick

[@ross4384]

You don't listen when he is talking do you? H e said people played with his car.

[@vjvicky1864]

love the way you do the twenty seconds thingy lol, and I do hope you post more of the cops videos like before....Miss them lol

[@MatthewSchiess]

Well, you found a cool feature on your car. So it can't all be bad. Cool cars, cool channel. Please keep it up. I hope to see you on an Adventure Drive in the near future. Best, Matt

[@Datsun1]

man that charger is incredibly close to the car...its driving me insane

[@813Productions]

Battery died because someone has been playing around with the bosses car. Somebody is getting fired soon lol

[@ericwsmith7722]

Its never fun to fire some one for fucking up..... it is fun to make there life of employment a living hell and force them to quit ! lol

[@SScampo]

What an incredible garage/warehouse. Congrats on your hard work and success; I imagine the Ferrari issue was due to an interior lighting issue, although that is weird because my cars auto shut off lights after 15 minutes (when motor is off...) as to not have that happen

[@piperspalace2461]

I'm a new subscriber and I really like your video's, you have an impressive garage. hello from Birmingham Alabama

[@shoominati23]

Italian electrical systems are made of Romano cheese

[@dxkp]

Dome light on for who knows how long might of done it

[@TheTmaaan55]

That's the first thing I thought of. Door was left slightly open, which probably left some light or system on, which would drain the battery. This isn't rocket science.

[@chadamwickly]

dxkp I'm almost positive that with the last "breath" the battery has it automatically rolls the window down and pops the door otherwise it wold be impossible to get in. I know some cars do this not positive of this exact car.

[@scottmoreland8747]

Chadamwickly - you are correct. Mclarens do it definitely.

[@pshep138]

Came here to say this, glad the KZbin experts are already all over it

[@HulkSmash86]

I would hope Ferrari would have thought of that. Even my 98 Pontiac Bonneville had a feature that if you left a door open and/or dome light on it would kill the power in 15-20 minutes. Came in handy in Northern Ohio here in during winter if I left the dome light on.

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

who's revving the cold ferrari that hasn't run in two months?

[@flippy9133]

that wasnt really revving

[@Halliday57]

ak operator he was barely revving it

[@ct1762]

hes getting the oil circulated. the best thing to do is start the car, let it idle for 10 seconds, then drive it under 2krpms to get the oil up to temp quicker

[@lewisbiggs5977]

It's cool that wasn't hard enough to be bad for the engine at all

[@sammymorini9748]

cold? not that cold being inside a warm garage... n not revving that much lol

[@BadDFWDrivers]

That tender is pretty cool. If you set it up on a stand with the tender sticking out, you could theoretically drive away and back in without disconnecting it and have it connect when you get close enough.

[@commanderrussels2612]

Ferraris are still shitboxes. The magnetic charger is better on the 488 then having to get into the cabin of the 458, but it's still annoying you can't leave it for three weeks without it going dead.

[@PLxFTW]

Rob, sell the Ferrari and buy more stanced miatas.

[@WickedProxy]

My 07 4.0L Mustang does that with the window. I can only let it set about 1 week without starting it or I have to charge the battery. As for the newer car running down the battery faster than the older one it makes sense when you think about how many more sensors and transmitters the newer car would have in it placing a larger drain on the battery.

[@redspecialist9072]

i always love your videos Rob keep them coming. 😎

[@adamlaski9128]

It's a shame that the most expensive cars are also the most fragile...

[@frank09busa]

Adam Laski they're really not.

[@JackJanovec]

Cringed so hard when rob slammed the door shut at 1:45

[@TJC450]

I don't feel he slammed it that hard.

[@PedroTRamos1]

You should see how my friends slam the doors of my car, pisses me off everytime. I dont drive a ferrari tho xD

[@tedl2711]

Jack Janovec I cringed so hard at that also. It's not how hard he shut it, it is that the window was up and hitting the car in ways it shouldn't. Otherwise it was a good solid shut of a door. Too bad that window decided to get in the way.

[@anthonyroe9386]

New style looking good my man!!!

[@XJR15ftw]

Now this is surprising. Thanks for the honest real-life updates on these cars Rob, a shame most (all?) of them have these kind of issues. I know I know, italian cars, but they've had a while to fix their BS...

[@ozzstars_cars]

The car has an issue this is not normal. Rob tell the dealer you want a "parasitic draw" test done to find the issue. Use technical terms and tell them I sent you

[@unlisted9494]

You can measure parasitic draw over time with an arduino or $10 DMM, no need to leave it at a dealer for weeks.

[@unlisted9494]

Marc, why didn't your boss just get a better battery? A badass xs-power battery would only be $230 for it, and cost a hell of a lot less time. Chances are it was just a faulty battery that had incorrectly installed plates and thusly a low float voltage.

[@tedl2711]

Marc Wolinsky stupid GM and ignoring their problems in their cars. Every time I see the new chevy commercials with "real" people I laugh. I wonder what a commercial in 10 years say about the car they hyped up so much today.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

ah technology, how is a fab better than a key lol

[@Rlyeh_The_Dead]

Makes you look cool/important. (except it doesn't :/)

[@patthonsirilim5739]

very cool when your car dies in front of the girls

[@kambeard]

I always love your videos rob 😀.

[@sneakycactus8815]

the 430 behind you at the end of the video is gorgeous. I would love to have one.

[@hockey161616]

Why are you ignoring the fact that your door doesn't fully close because of the window..?

[@hockey161616]

Fuck me, I am an idiot. Just now realizing that it is because the battery is dead and the window can't be lowered. Doh

[@at9670]

Jake Finnegan i don't like this type of design

[@ddbhaha1529]

You know, it is a Fiat afterall..

[@echtogammut]

I've seen similar problems with some MB that were let sit for a couple weeks. There are so many electric gizmos that the cars pull a bit from the battery even when parked. It even says in the manual on a lot of high end luxury cars that you have to put it on a tender if left longer than a certain period of time.

[@2thermal]

First time ive seen you actually look slightly irritated by car problems, dont blame you though and still, i cant believe you always stay so cool when stuff goes wrong. Keep it up Rob, merry christmas!

[@rkon1000]

haha this video was so awkward for some reason

[@josekrinkle6206]

"sooo welcome to my garage!"

[@PiperFishing]

Battery died because the door was left open no? That would happen to any car.

[@gcscr]

Supercars have smaller batteries, so it's pretty easy to kill the battery in a short period of time.

[@BIG570S]

Why not get the official Ferrari battery tender that's magnet in the rear by the plate then you wouldn't have to plug in that jump start thing. My friend has the Ferrari tender on his 488, 458 speciale and his 458 spider. They work great and always charged.

[@superspeeders]

+BossKing you didnt watch the whole video did you...

[@089Gary]

superspeedersRob would you ever look into getting a mclarren instead of the Ferrari ?

[@I3eck1]

BossKing watch the whole video!

[@guccipucci69420]

089Gary No because he's looking for cars that hold value

[@leomartinez8580]

BossKing

[@markotark]

My Hyundai i30 sat for 3 months in the Finnish winter, got buried under 50cm (20inches) of snow and when i went to start it after returning from my long trip, it was -25 celsius (-13 fahrenheit). The engine started in 2 rotations of the starter-motor, when it normally starts on the first one.

[@maxhi88]

What do we learn from this??? --> If you have a brand new Ferrari fucking drive it, man !!!

[@Not_Hans]

Guy Incognito why would you fucking drive a brand new Ferrari in the snow???

[@maxhi88]

Samaia1992 Excuses, excuses.

[@lmCIoudz]

you're a dumb ass

[@maxhi88]

Dan// Oh no, I'm so offended.

[@frank09busa]

only here to read stupid comments by honda owners.

[@kenlawson72]

Cool feature for the battery tender in the rear. But as far as the battery being drained in the first place, I guess you have to take the good with the bad of anything!

[@robbieschneider4330]

this sis a good one! that tender is pretty cool!

[@ND001X]

Lambhorgini is a better choice.

[@extremerFatalist]

John Smith If you want a car without style.

[@hingholo8027]

think lamborghinis are more stylish than ferraris

[@ND001X]

Lambhorgini's stand out more. Their buying cars for looks. Lambhorgini's physically look better, and turn more heads. Aventador alone looks better than any Ferrari, excluding the million dollar plus Ferrari's, and even then, those Ferrari's look odd. Its Ferrari's fault that Lambhorgini even exists in the first place. Lambo's are for the highest level of head turning attention.

[@tedl2711]

John Smith Lamborghinis are beautiful also. But the internal parts of the 10 cylinder version are shared with the Audi and the doors don't even open like a Lamborghini should. And the Aventador is so far behind the times it is annoying to drive in a city. So do you want an Audi with a Lamborghini "wrap" or do you want a new car with 15 yr old parts pissing you off every time you drive it in town? Every super car has issues. And really if you look at it every car has issues. Making a car with that many moving parts work perfectly every time is a challenge.

[@ND001X]

Me YesMe I'll take the Gallardo. I can get one used for $70-90K. I'd love to get the Aventador, but its just too high in cost and maintenance. I'll rent the Aventador, just to get it out of my system. The Gallardo fits better, possibly the best fitting Lambhorgini ever made (from a consumer perspective), and having Audi parts, makes it that much better for me.

[@regularguy9219]

You have shit luck with ferrari. Time to stop giving them your money.

[@wheelman8910]

Nice ,hope you'll get to grow your channel more ,in order to be seen by many others

[@satinvapour3003]

What a cool way to implement the battery tender

[@worldspottingexhibit]

Ferrari is an embarrassing brand

[@gcscr]

Butthurt detected.

[@worldspottingexhibit]

I'm not butthurt the car broke w 170 miles on it thats quite pathetic. Ferarri fanboy detected.

[@worldspottingexhibit]

You're an idiot Dan

[@worldspottingexhibit]

Alright, now calm down

[@rvind92g]

you are dirty, dan

[@cashshew2786]

Gosh I'm so grateful if I'm the owner of that 360. That 360 car is the best design for me. I like the tail lights on that car

[@JetlinerX]

The windows roll down a bit when the battery gets low so you dont shatter the window trying to open it when its dead and cant roll the windows down. Somehow the battery drained, windows went into "protection mode" and once it has power it will reset itself.

[@blackquaman]

great vid . does the instrument panel indicate that that your battery level is low ? or are there any signs of electrical problems prior to it not being able to start it at all.?

[@humza4779]

shoulda bought a 458 ;) haha hope it all gets sorted out man. gotta drive the thing more! had my 458 since april and 2000 miles / 8 months later. zero problems.

[@justinbuice]

Ferrari makes some of the most gorgeous cars in the world, but man, what a headache. I bet it's totally worth it when you cruise down the highway though.

[@jaysonanderson1148]

I lost it at "More Power; Nuclear!!" You crack me up Rob xD

[@CorndogBrownie]

Rob, just like a frs/brz the windows have an auto up thing. I have had it were they just give up going up and down when opening and closing the door.

[@f430ferrari5]

Nice and convenient as to where Ferrari has the battery tender plug in now. Mine is behind the driver's seat. I have to roll the window down and reach in and down to plug in the cable.

[@Rockport1911]

Wow that a hard to get to battery. Imagine this thing in a tight garage and you trying to get the jumper leads to the battery. It would be easier to acces in the Front. But that battery tender solution is cool.

[@urgetodrive]

My SLS has the same magnetic battery tender hookup (but you have to open the trunk).

[@1santaever]

most newer vehicles now have a timer where the interior lights will shut off after so long i have left my car open over night one time and it fired right up and that is also the advantage of living in a nice area lol

[@stalinxxx22]

😂😂😂 it was funny when u closed the door hard and u said "sorry, my bad " with a minion Voice 😂😂😂

[@fishfrenzy100]

well, cos the door wasnt fully closed was there not an interior light still on draining the battery?

[@Geardos1]

Rob is the king of 'unfortunate situations with expensive cars' genre. The king.

[@masons3251]

3:42 Rob really just said nuclear. I'm dying right now.

[@drivewaymarvels311]

Rob, you will learn all the neat features about your car in the owners manual. Funny most cars have them in the glovebox untouched.

[@zacharysigler131]

Your awesome rob!

[@kevin2m4]

is the battery tender a magnet so you can drive away with it plugged in without damaging anything?

[@FreestylerAlbert]

love that NSX! :D

[@LicensePlate]

Great video Rob

[@2fast2nick]

I wonder if on the newer cars with all the electronics if they just have more draw. My car is constantly sending data to OnStar and stuff, so I'm sure that is using a bit of battery power while it's just sitting there

[@austinbahl6611]

The fluid reservoir on the fire wall in the frunk is for the brakes.

[@billygrainger588]

Awesome video !

[@cmoore9245]

What about interior lighting being on for when the door was left open ? Wouldn't that kill the battery after a long period of time.

[@lukarupar2391]

it sounds awesome

[@babydevilj]

That middle one is brake reservoir. Sometimes the key just de syncs.

[@correya.lettsome4702]

Hey Rob I remembered you pulled the battery tender out of the trunk when you just got the car. I can't remember the name of the video but it was one where opened the trunk and showed us everything that came with the car

[@KingDowgg]

Porsches have a similar battery drain issue. In fact, the owners manual goes so far as to say that the warranty on the battery is voided if the car is not used frequently or a maintainer is not used.

[@Mpayne]

Haha! already taking better care of your cars! that 488 is a beast but that is a shame about the parasitic drain. Ive noticed when the battery gets below a certain voltage on anything modern it can trip the alarm. If the battery tester is saying the Ok then try connecting a multimeter in series with the battery and the earth cable. check with the manufacturer to find out what typical current draw should be once it has had time to sit for about 30 mins if you totally disconnected the battery.

[@Tun1NGManiac]

"It's a Ferrari you should've known better" hahahahahaha died at this point

[@sourwords1808]

man talk about recording in real time. rob you have guts my friend.

[@emtffzartman666]

Door ajar kept the inside light on and security system running... is that what killed it?

[@HulkSmash86]

Does the car lower the window and kick the door open when it sees the battery is very low? Or did someone not close the door?

[@edbug007]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@MclaughlinTV]

Odd Problem Rob, glad u figured it out.

[@ikaustralia]

Does it have gps positions system as part of the security? These things are know to drain battery out in weeks. If not then there's a leak somewhere and the whole electric system needs an overhaul.

[@Grumpycat95]

That's a fine coat Rob

[@PARADIGMCREATIVEGROUP]

Off to buy tender for the Ducati now. Thanks
