The Truth on The Viral Farmer's Wife Tesla Video

[@Gjeebs]

Here is the short: kzbin.infohgzh1AtAa0E?feature=share

[@tannergolden1767]

i wanna see the uncut 10min convo

[@Mrbfgray]

Wow--metric shite ton of basement dwellers around here apparently. Get out of the house kids, experience reality.

[@tduncan1978]

It's funny that you had to make this video explaining such a harmless and good natured video. Smh. Haters gonna hate. Keep up the good work!

[@SanoSora]

this. idk why people would comment if they didn't like the video or hated it, just move on..

[@GET2222]

Haters are a joke 😂

[@KineticEV]

Great video. I'm a new Tesla Model Y owner. Everything you said here is spot on. One thing we also have to take into consideration when driving is the speed you're traveling per hour. So within 1 hour basically you go 55mph, 65mph, 75mph and maybe on some highways a little faster. I say this because generally you will want to or need to stop for bathroom breaks, stretch your legs and/or get something to eat typically within an hour or so of driving. So even if you were getting 200 to 330 miles per charge your bladder won't allow you to go that distance without a break of some sort. People driving gas cars experience this which is why rest stops are along most highways and there's always signs for places to eat etc. This is compounded if one or more people are traveling with you as well...such as children, someone who's pregnant and even elderly folks. Also when you have your pet(s) with you. You may need to take more frequent stops. This is why Tesla and other EV owners just plan all these types of stops and charge at the same time. On some of these stops you can spend as little as 10 minutes or as much as 20 to 30 minutes depending on various factors so why not be charging at the same time. My answer to the people talking about the environment and al that....In reality none of that even matters to them. It's nothing more than a talking point. These are the same types of people who drive a gas car and totally unaware what it takes to get oil from the ground, what it takes to process it, how much electricity a refinery uses, the fact that they use cobalt to refine oil and what it takes to move and transport that gas across the country. These are also the same people who don't have a care in the world when the hop on gas guzzling planes to fly across the country or the world nor do they have a care in the world when they're waiting on that diesel burning bus to get them to their destination. Most don't care when they're hailing a cab or scheduling an Uber to get them to their destination. Their argument is all ways to justify their bias and they have no problem moving the goal post to satisfy their ego.

[@TheMelbournelad]

Very true. Just hired a Y for new year weekend here in Victoria Australia on our version of Turo(which just opened here too but had a discount 😛) It was great and very much with kids need to stop every 2-3 hours, which is about same space most DC chargers go figure 😛. It was so fast in hindsight. I got it around 40ish % and by time walked in and ordered food and peed, I had to move car before food was ready as was almost 100%(rwd LFP battery). So yeah it’s no drama charging now if dc fast charge/supercharger on the route.

[@nickster830go]

You nailed!!

[@megamorph77]

Great comment!

[@carsonassociates3263]

I agree with this excellent comment. I would only add that even if Tesla road-tripping appears less optimal than gas vehicles, in local day-to-day driving (which is mostly what we do!) the convenience of home charging and the merits of driving an EV more than compensate for the necessary behavior modifications for road-tripping.

[@tonynettleton3135]

I’d watch Gjeebs freestyle all day. Content is great, but I’m mostly here for the humor.

[@david100483]

Same! This video kinda reminds me of the old Rich Rebuilds rant videos…funny! 👍

[@mr.bister5435]

Ya I love Gjeebs and his humor!

[@steveallen1055]

I have owned a Model Y for two years and have heard most of the same negative comments from people. What I've noticed about them is they don't care what I drive. They're really just complaining that the government is telling them what kind of car they will have to drive.

[@Charles78]

Really appreciate your explanation here. As a Model 3 owner in the Midwest I enjoy talking with people about EVs. The real, honest, and personal interaction you mentioned is exactly what we need more of!

[@denisewerner4504]

It was a nice way to end 2022. Thanks Ben. Love that you included that human interaction.

[@tmorcos21]

Never lose your sense of humor. Hard to communicate with haters. Love to try the charging cable. For android if possible. Thanks

[@riccofeliciano7449]

That 1st camera swap was hilarious & made my day, 😂 I love the camera-play ode to school/infomercial video(s). Thanks for keeping your content light.

[@PedroTeixeira]

KZbinr *totally destroys* strangers with calm, thoughtful, and polite answers during normal conversation! Great videos and I love it when people are good to each other, fortunately most people are. :)

[@AZdroptop]

Your dog is super chill and looking at you like, "what the heck are you doing, can we move along please?"

[@jlubbz6852]

Keep spreading knowledge, happiness, and angled cord connections

[@Gjeebs]

This cracked me up so you win one of the cords! send an email to [e-mail]

[@Byjhbkbhjk]

Some people simply don’t want to face facts that are right in front of them.

[@steverobbins4872]

It's not just the EV that's so efficient. Burning any kind of fuel in a power plant will be much more efficient that burning fuel in a car engine because of temperature. A power plant can run at much, much higher temperature than a car engine, and is therefore able to reach a much higher level of efficiency. For anyone who doubts this, look up Carnot heat engine on wikipedia. This sets the upper limit of efficiency for any heat engine. (And yes, I am an engineer and I learned this stuff when I took a class in thermodynamics in engineering school, not from something I read on the web.)

[@Admiral_Jezza]

Very good point about how you can charge it off grid

[@FroyOxciano]

The guy outside on the speaker phone is hilarious 😂

[@AndrewJamesHilton]

love the videos Gjeebs, your the reason I got my Model Y 👍

[@davesaly290]

I live in FL, and took delivery of my 2022 Model Y Long Range in September. Hurricane Ian hit FL a few weeks later. Gas was rationed. The gas stationed had a 90 minutes to 2 hrs wait if they even had gas, and the gas rationing lasted for at least 3 weeks. My community and large parts of the town were without electricity for at least 10 days until disaster recovery teams could start restoring power to the grid. Since gas was rationed, we used my ICE vehicle very very sparingly as we didn't know if we'd run out of gas, and when gas would be available again. Since I didn't have electricity at the house, we couldn't recharge my Tesla at home. However, through Hurricane Ian and the entire time after the hurricane, the Tesla SuperCharger remained open and functional. Prior to the hurricane, we topped off our gas tank, and we charged the Tesla to 100% not knowing when the power would go out. Once the power went out, we camped in our Tesla via Camp Mode which allows all the electronics and air conditioner to stay connected until the battery drops to 20%. We ran AC in the Tesla 24/7, watched the news and weather directly to the car via Tesla premium connectivity, and streamed Netflix, HULU, and Disney+. Our neighbors recharged all of their mobile devices, tablets, and laptops through our car so we could all stay connected. The Tesla was a life saver during Hurricane Ian!

[@jz319]

ignore haters and keep doing what you love !!

[@martalli]

I tend to think videos like that are setups, i think a lot on tik tok are. It's nice to see this and I agree with you that is disappointing that people are surprised to see a polite discussion break out in public.

[@MikeFede]

You’re literally the most real and transparent tesla owner making videos with a splash of humor👍🏼. I think it’s so funny how politicized having an EV is. It’s hilarious how I get out into a box for having a Tesla at the shooting range lol. The head pops off both sides shoulders.

[@marcoquedevez1851]

Hey ,I’m a Brazilian and leaving in Massachusetts, I really enjoy your videos , you and some others channel help me with my decision to buy my MYP . Keep with the great work!

[@josepablomolinacarrillo3621]

Happy New Year! WOW over 100K subscribers, you went from 50 to 100 in no time. Well done!

[@Bwyv55]

As someone that lives in Pittsburgh.Why was your trip to Pittsburgh? I just bought a model y last week. Absolutely love it. Haven’t enjoyed driving in a long time and it brought that back like I was 16 again.

[@trevormf]

There’s definitely still a lot of education that needs to happen when it comes to EVs, which is understandable with new technology. I just wish people would bother to research and ask questions instead of just jumping to conclusions. Thanks for helping fight the misinformation.

[@radicalradzik]

Way to be transparent and real. Appreciate your videos. Thanks Gjeebs!

[@carolewithanEofcourse]

I love your dog's face including the white eyeliner!

[@RamsaySmith]

Some of the Sunny Boy inverters have what's called a Secure Power Supply which you could use to charge your car when the sun is shining. No battery needed!

[@davidtrevino4822]

Gjeebs... you don't need to explain yourself to all those Tesla haters. I have a 2021 Tesla Model Y, love my Tesla. As a Model YLR owner, (retired in Central Mexico), I enjoy talking with people about EVs. There are many Tesla owners here in Mexico. Keep up the great work on your posting. You're doing an amazing job informing us Tesla owners of the latest information. Cheers!!!

[@Angelboy99]

We spend more money adding toys, embellishments and accessories than I ever did before ! 😊

[@guyg2005]

Happy New Year Gjeebs!

[@ertassi]

Expressions on your dog were priceless. Great video, and I just started subscribing to you over the past month and love your videos. Love your real world, cleaning the car videos and your real world approach period😁

[@mjmellock]

Happy New Year! Glad you hit it big with the upload. :)

[@KunalPatel87]

Great video addressing the points in the comments! I also own a gas vehicle and a Tesla, and there's pros and cons, but it's about educating so people can make the right decision for their situation/needs/wants

[@djtaylorutube]

Filling up at Costco here can be a 30 minute experience as they're significantly cheaper than anywhere else, hence a queue to the pumps is common.

[@mr.bister5435]

I really liked that short! What a great interaction. I always really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work!

[@fredsmodel3n192]

Great Video, I talk to lots of people that come up to me in rural areas when I travel between San Diego CA & Key West FL about my Model Y

[@rickkay9548]

the other fud piece that gets me is when someone points at 2 temporary diesel generators running super chargers while awaiting transformers to be installed.

[@luisorosco2317]

I love your dog, just sitting there patiently! ❤😊❤

[@mattys8525]

Great video. Very unbiased information. Great job! It’s refreshing to see information that is real and understandable.

[@lenimbery7038]

Happy New Year to one of my top 5 youtube subscriptions!

[@Kevingfxgamer]

I’m subscribed and I just have to say your videos are hilarious and I’m a huge fan of tesla but also combustion cars haha but I would love to win that charger mention in your video, keep up the amazing work!!

[@Gjeebs]

You won! send an email to [e-mail]

[@teimll]

There’s a farmer’s daughter joke in here somewhere. 🤣 Good message on human interaction. 👍🏾

[@vincentregalado2652]

Happy New Year Gjeebs all the way from Toronto Canada. Really love your content. Keep it up.

[@experiencex70]

Fantastic Video Ben had the same conversations when I tell people I'm buying a Tesla. I test drove 3 teslas and other Ev's and as soon I tell my co-workers I get all those issues.

[@G_Rock4]

Congrats on 100k man!

[@Johnny2Feathers]

I much rather have a full charged Tesla every morning than having to go to dirty gas stations to fill up all the time. And for those long road trips I might take like once a year at most .. I’d still prefer charging for a half hour once or twice than 5 or 10 min fill ups once or twice at dirty gas stations.

[@yungman]

Who knew the farmer interaction would be the most viral video. Loving my MYLR and looking to my first long road trip and using a supercharger.

[@FrunkToTrunk]

I was wonder when you’d glance at that dude walking near the car lol Saw that video take OFF. Told my brother ohhh sh*t Gjeebs is going viral! Great video Ben! Happy New Year! Congrats on the channel’s growth!

[@joekeating9321]

Great video as always. Still holding out for a GJEEBS / BTG crossover episode. Think that misunderstanding went viral too. I can personally speak to Tesla being the better charging network. We have owned 2 model Ys, Nissan leaf, and VW ID4. Sold our ID4 for a model 3. Never a charging issue ever with Tesla but a few issues with EA.

[@TedKidd]

I did a 1000 mile day a few months ago. Could not imagine doing that without FSD.

[@Muddy_B]

I dig those folks were curious and asked .

[@duanepadilla2514]

Happy New Year Ben, excellent video! In 2020, I traded my 2011 BMW M3 in for a 2016 Model S P100D. Although I loved my manual M3 boy racer car, I wanted upgraded electronics in my BMW, which was near impossible to do. Now, my Tesla was in need of the $2000 chip upgrade for the Model S as well as get my SiriusXM back, but I was able to do it and keep my car stock. Also, for my first year of ownership, I used my Tesla connector to charge via 110V, very slow, but I don’t put a lot of miles on my car anyway. Once I found out about rebates from my electricity provider, I upgraded to 220v. To me, 220v takes away any angst of at home charging, especially at 10 cents a kWh. Tesla superchargers and navigation make road trips a breeze and force me to stop and not try to, “just power through” a road trip. Fine when alone, but female passengers like to stop every couple of hours anyway for health and comfort.

[@euckilla]

Don’t usually comment since I watch KZbin on my Apple TV, but this one was too good. From talking about Fromm, to how much different people are IRL as compared to online. Refreshing to see real talk as compared to all the hype we are normally fed online. Keep it up man. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MichaelPardee]

Great video, great content, cute dog, and we could tell the exact second your peripheral vision kicked in when the guy on the phone walked by. 😂

[@FlyingGentile]

Dude was having a nice convo on the phone in the background 😂

[@carsonassociates3263]

This was one of your best, Gjeebs! Regarding cost of Tesla, relative to gas vehicles: most new Tesla buyers are not trying to decide between Corolla and MY- they’d likely be shopping for something north of $50k anyway. Plus, the greatest expense in owning any vehicle is usually depreciation (it can actually cost you less $$ to own a higher-priced vehicle, if it holds its value more). Also: we traded an average monthly gasoline bill of $620 for $150/mo electricity, when we switched to Tesla! (no, we weren’t driving 30mpg 4cyl cars- it was premium gas-swilling BMWs, one with twin-turbo V8). BTW, we couldn’t care less about our carbon footprint- we prefer electric cars on their other merits alone.

[@tylerwright6380]

Happy New Year Gjeebs and to all. Just ignore the haters.

[@lordbryant97]

Great video, per usual! Keep up all the hard work man! 🎉

[@brandonlee93]

I mentioned this on another channel but the disinformation is crazy. A patient I was taking care of tried telling me a Tesla costs a million dollars. I told him I got a great deal then since I paid $55k for mine. He said the batteries are just thrown into a landfill when they’re done. I told him Tesla recycles theirs. He said theres nowhere to charge, not even realizing there’s a supercharger 5 minutes from the hospital; not to mention I charge for free at work. It’s frustrating that people believe anything that goes along with their world view without researching for themselves.

[@Mrbfgray]

I used to warm up my V8 Chevy service truck for 20 or 30 minutes on a cold morning, major range loss and hassle.

[@BUF20]

Great Video. Don’t worry about the negative comments. Some people are happy being miserable and want everyone to be the same. Thanks for sharing both.

[@theDougAngle]

Congrats on the channel's success! Say hello to Farmer John next time you see him.

[@Byjhbkbhjk]

It looks like another opportunity for a “conversation” outside of your window there :)

[@tracykole7828]

Anyone who uses the word lampoon in their video, deserves a thumbs up.

[@cyprianskiba8768]

Great info and patience!

[@jaredbradley4957]

Another great video Gjeebs! Hope you and the fam are doing well. Happy New Year!!

[@loljz]

Some people just don't understand EVs and they are highly misinformed about EVs. I run into so many people while working that do not have a clue and say that they will never get one.

[@jdeezy17]

Your vids are awesome and let the haters hate! I love my Tesla 3 LR and learned so much from this channel!

[@tomsullivan2907]

The cables are nice, kind of expensive. I agree the people interaction is good and lots of people ask about my Tesla. That is the same thing I did before I purchased one. Good video and spot on about the car, charging, etc. I like the buy whatever car you want, EVE or ICE, so true I own both.

[@jtpdx2209]

Happy new year! 🎉 I drove my Ioniq 5 cross country in November and had so many positive interactions with people stopping to ask questions with genuine interest. Similar to the farmer guy.

[@JW-fm2cy]

Good video. Like how you addressed the usual fud that gets brought up all the time when it comes to tesla's or EV's in general.

[@joeldrawde4274]

Awesome videos. I love the fact that #1 …. Your a lefty @ golf, as am I (great channel btw) and #2 you endorse and support ICE and electric. I too have a MYR and love it!! Keep it up!

[@MJ-zo5gb]

Just a couple things to add: In the US Coal isn’t used that much anymore and is on its way out. Depending on your region there would be no coal at all used. Even if 20 to 30% Of your energy is from coal at least it’s burned at a factory away from your town. Personally I like the idea of clean air in our cities much more than I’m worried about any global warming. Also when comparing The pollution it takes to make a gas car versus an electric one it makes a huge difference that a high-quality electric vehicle can last more than twice as long as a gas one. This would mean you need to produce two gas cars for every electric one. (Yes there are some gas cars like Toyotas they can last a very long time it taken care of but most gas cars don’t last that long)

[@brandongrenier1141]

Keep your cameras rolling all the time for more wholesome content🥰 I'm getting some cameras to record possible reactions

[@TeslaHo]

Good stuff Gjeebs. Great work as always.

[@PaulieV65]

I love those cables! Would love to get a second one! Loved your clean coal comment.

[@poobank]

"I just love cars in general" - Gjeebs 👍👏

[@jeweloftroy4145]

Love all your videos! So informative and entertaining! Became a subscriber before my Red MYP arrived in July, as a gift from my hubby. Driving experience x 40 years (20 years with manual transmission & 20 years with full size SUVs-Escalade & Suburban). Don’t miss the gas powered vehicles, especially when I would pump every other day paying $70.00 each time, since work commute is at least 100 miles a day without traffic. Have not pumped gas since July. Tesla is not for all. But, it’s for me! Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@dougholmes6631]

F*ck the haters man! I love you and your personality! Rock on my brother!

[@adamlee5504]

Wow 100k plus subs! Congrats!

[@oliviarodell9265]

the worst misinformation in that short is how he pronounced Rolla 😂

[@EnthusiastCarHangar]

I just saw it as a fun short video. It’s a question you get all the time when owning a Tesla.

[@samuelarocho6600]

The haters are just misinformed and need to be educated! Your videos are funny and informative. Keep up the great work!

[@aaronbounds1336]

Depends on what people mean by the "cost" of a car. Which type of vehicle would be safer idling in your garage with people in it? Why? There is a cost to air pollution of all types, including the deadly byproducts of combustion.

[@paulspitsen3581]

Comments regarding EV's on-point as usual. I got a kick out watching your dog's facial expressions and eye rolling as if he were saying enough already we have much better things we could be doing. 😀

[@okie0309]

Another great video. Taking a road trip in march from Texas to Orlando, those chargers would be nice so my daughters can charge their devices. Keep up the great videos.

[@paullarge9425]

Love the tesla videos here and the golf videos on your other channel

[@Slebonson]

Your dog is very cute! stay humble!

[@Mystrasun]

Great video! I'm hoping to get a Tesla Model Y in the next couple years so I'm reallly enjoying your insights :) my only comment would be to the person who asked if you have to put gas into your EV when it runs out of electricity, perhaps they were thinking of plug-in hybrids?

[@mitchellmelanson6829]

It's funny, my mother asked me the other day if I have to put gas in my Model Y. I had to be nice as she was serious... But definitely great points to get out there. I think most people are interested and open to EV's, and it's just having those friendly interactions and helping answer peoples questions, and separating facts from rumours.

[@wydeedwardsjr1987]

GJEEBS I like your videos. They are funny but with good info too. Happy New Year!!

[@Makikais]

Happy New Year!!!! Keep up the good work.

[@JimHassey]

Your Trump impression when you said "clean cole okay?" Hilarious... Although, when you talk about the time it takes to re-charge, you say that people will charge 'at home', many people are 'renters'... But even then, 'productive' people will find a way to be productive during a 15/20 min. stop/charge... such as answer/send emails/texts on your phone to clients/co-workers... make/answer calls to clients/co-workers... And/or use it to clean the inside/outside of your car. Anyway... Good video. 'I' enjoyed the content... my wife just wanted to see the cute pup... thanks for giving the pup more screentime in the 2nd half of the video... that kept my wife hooked. Keep up the good work... 👍

[@smarter_solutions]

Nice video In Europe with non Tesla (i drive bmw i4 m50) no issues with charging station so far. Except 1 times all charging stations occupied by ice cars. Return on investment depends of course on every individual situation. In my case compared to previous car, I save 1000 eur per month. And of course it would be not fair to compare eg 20k Clio 1.1 to 100k EV

[@lemongavine]

I spend less time charging at public charging stations per year than I did changing my oil.

[@RamseyNick]

26¢! I could never find anything that cheap at the superchargers in California, Oregon or Washington!

[@epcalderhead]

Had the exact same convo with a similar couple in South Dakota.

[@aaronbounds1336]

Don't have to hope over time to see the battery costs come down. Cost curve of all new technologies is coming down, a lot, for these big batteries. They used to cost $50K for the Roadster, now they're down to $15K. This is more than a 50% cost reduction in 15 years. Trajectory is good. It won't be too long before the pack costs the same as an engine/transmission replacement.

[@danielpenate2252]

Another way to look at the "saving money", I was looking at a Genesis G80/G70 and ultimately decided on my M3. Cost for cost, it's saving me money. I have solar and even if I didn't, it'd be cheaper than filling up those cars.
