Please look at my other comment tell me what you think about my idea for the trailer expansion pack mini trailers Burke the truck stops in which you can pull your any one of the models into hook up your trailer / expansion book at a charging station just for long road trips. It would be like an exchange system nobody was on the trailers they would just be at truck stops where you can hook up run until it's dead go to another truck stop drop plug in to charge pick up another trailer and continue on I'm just thinking of it like an expansion battery pack to save you from those long charging sessions on a trip

The cherry on top is that Tesla, who is the sole source of all "official", "authorized" service, won't release service records for used cars. So, the prospective used Tesla buyer won't know the car they're looking at buying has been through 3 motors and 2 battery packs in 5 years.

@@frowlinian8175 it's modeled after a traditional car company with traditional truck designs. It doesn't have any high-tech proprietary technology that cannot be copied. These attributes contribute to: -Better and easier independent repairs and modding, -Better compatibility with open source technologies. -less flexibility for innovation. All of these (except the third one) lead to faster development of EV technology or vehicle tech in general. Some of these features would available to Tesla to some degree, but not as deep as to affect the motors, battery. The problem with Tesla right now is their lack of flexibility for modding and independent repair. The cause is its autopilot technology, and their plan for the future. You cannot add horsepower to a Tesla without compromising its autopilot. It might not be designed well enough to adjust dynamically to power changes implemented by modders. There's also their supposed plan to be the Apple/Uber of cars. This is the expensive, stupid bit. If their plan is to go the Steve Jobs service route(genius bar repair) they'd be driving the costs of Tesla repairs up, instead of using the current infrastructure for repair. In summary: What we want: more control over what we bought (tuning, real mods, free intensive manuals, repair) What Tesla wants: taxi service Find a solution that satisfies both.

[@frowlinian8175]

@@robotsix6268 I'm not sure how you got the idea that since its using traditional truck design means its using non-propietary technologies; I'm not sure if they do or not tbh and would love it if you provide a source for this but they would need to from a corporate standpoint when competition is just ramping up in the EV market. Theyd soon be surpassed in technology by nearly everyone which is why I assumed they wouldnt be much different since they wont be a company for very long if they didnt do something different than the competitors which adds some functionality or for a cheaper price (which we already know it isnt cheaper than Ford's Mach E or the Cybertruck and likely the Electric F150) which is only possible through propietary technology. The only thing with this regard that I'm sure of is they're not using the Tesla standard plugs and wont be compatible with Tesla's supercharger network... which again; is a dumb move imo... The only way they could survive and still be modifiable and easily fixable is if they were the Android equivalent to Telsa's Apple and just let everyone run free with it and license the software/hardware but that opens up security and safety concerns when you're talking about a vehicle rather than a cell phone...

@@patches8291 I actually *own* a model S. So I ain't sitting around waiting for nothing. Hoping that Ford does it right isn't exactly the same as thinking they'll execute. But so far, the Mach E is giving me pause. I will look at both before passing judgment on either the Mach E or the Model Y. That is what *intelligent* people do. The ignorant are the ones who pass judgment without first assessing the facts.

We also have a 90d dual motor x. In 4 years, the battery degradation is a little over 3%. Ideal range is 308 miles. I figured I've lost about 10 miles of range in 4 years. As for storage, we recently did a +3k mile road trip with 3 adults and luggage for 2 week vacation. Very comfortable and very relaxing with autopilot. As for winter driving, we recently got a week where the daily temp hit -40 f. It worked just fine although there were a lot of ice vehicles on the side of the road waiting for boosts. Granted, we have a garage for our x. Decent winter tires and regenerative braking makes winter driving in this car pretty decent. We are original owner of the vehicle. When you buy a used car (any brand), you're at the mercy of how the car was driven and maintained by previous owner(s).

[@llx3559]

@@markarrington3869 the average model X insurance is 206 dollars a month and about 1,200 in monthly payments so its more like 1,500 a month and this is a luxury car a Prius is not and has a lot less features. In other words, the Model X isn't made for the average American if the average American wanted a tesla Suv the Model Y would be the car.

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

@@llx3559 lol what luxery "features" does the x have that a prius doesnt? besides auto pilot and self opening doors id say there is no other difference. When it comes to "features" Tesla is the bottom of the barrel for the standards of what Luxery is. idk if id even call it that since most mid level pick up trucks are probably equally equipped as a fully loaded tesla.

I'm certainly a huge Tesla fan, but even I look at the X and, while cool, it's just an expensive tech demo. It almost should have stayed as a concept vehicle, leaving more room for the model 3 and Y. "Hey look at me I want attention" That musical dance is entirely for attention seeking, so, it's actually a successful feature (no matter how much you may hate it lol) Also, I'm not sure we can blame Tesla for your mouse problem :P

Great vid specially since it was unbiased. I like how you guys touched on the gap issues. As someone who works in the insurance industry dealing with cars everything, Tesla’s tend to have the most gap issues. In fact, if you look closely, your driver door and rear door are also slightly off alignment (rear door is slightly higher). Shops tend to hate this about Tesla since even brand new parts that they get will have issues with they way they are built. There should be no reason why you get a new Qtr panel from Tesla and have to do body work to make sure it flushes right. But again, great vid. Loved the way you slid the square space ad, smooth lol.

[@mikelcarrow2787]

Something occurred to me about Tesla taking back services from new owners. If you purchased a car with full auto pilot and Tesla says well new owner u didnt pay for it the original owner did were shutting it off... well shouldn't the original owner get a refund of that option he paid for? Better yet the new owner should get the refund cause he/she owns the car. Tesla is illegally double dipping selling a service from 1 owner to another that was already in place. That's like Goodyear tires saying we want our tires back after the car was sold to a new owner then saying you give us market value to keep the tires on the car. When I sell a house people look at upgrades that came with the house..that's like saying to the new buyer well the owner paid for 10 thousand in upgrades but you didnt pay for it soo.......were taking it back sorry...wait unless you want to pay for those upgraded kitchen obviously it's part of the purchase regardless.

How often should the silicon spray be applied to the door gaskets for a Tesla stored outside in winter? I'm guessing as often as every week or so - am I wrong?

I don't know if I'll be getting new or a 2-3yr old model y. Thanks!
