He’s definitely tempted -

 

 

 

 

 

Hammond is a tit.

The guy that managed to crash a Tesla into a Tesla while reversing into a Tesla charging point has had a smart idea.

(by watching the video you are helping him afford it so maybe do not watch....)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Classic noob mistakes:

 

Never ever use the range display. Always show %.

 

Also, use Tesla’s trip planner (aka built in sat nav) It’s arrival estimate is very accurate.

 

Finally, what’s the final average consumption figure? Need it work out battery capacity (hence degradation) at end of the test. Weather, traffic all affects range, too many variable for calculating degradation. The final range he got is not comparable to anything.

He is a bit of a muppet.

I can not get over the London to Australia and back 22 times comment,

then the seats and twice around the world when it could be 17 times around the world in 430,000 miles

Really it is not 'Just buy a Tesla, drive and forget, there is no servicing schedule'. 

Buyers beware, new or used.  *Renters maybe could not care less.*

 

Do not be a Rodney.  If you are not inspecting and checking then have someone else do it.

Even if just the inside walls of tyres. Or the suspension, steering, brakes.

So from Jame's video, just get a MG?

But the Scot have done about twice my mileage and zero problems.

 

I do plan to get Cleevley to do a pre-end of warranty check around 3 year time, by then Leaf would also be due checking.

 

2019 M3P with 200k miles on the clock, total the maintenance cost was mentioned at 7:10, £808.

 

 

@wyx087 a 2 year old rep mobile car should have zero problems should it not? other than maybe accidents etc. 'Just buy a Tesla'.

How many miles has your Model Y done?

 

Do you mean 'just get a Tesla' has had zero problems'?   No idea if because he lives in Scotland he is a Scot.

Zero problems other than the car that could not be moved after a faulty light, but these things happen. 

Covered here before with his videos linked / posted.

 

When buying a car especially one that has not been getting servicing and maintenance and inspections it is about that car not some other car that has been and getting updates and any warranty work done. 

 

 

First vid.

Yes. Sorry, that guy. Not sure of his name, I don’t like the channel name.
 

Just like most Tesla on the road, he experienced no problem with drivetrain without any servicing, way past ICE long service mileage. Other general car problems should be expected. 
 

My parents are thinking of a Model 3, 2022 or later for HW3, hoping for a sub 20k around end of the year. We’ll be carefully inspecting suspension and bodywork as per Jame’s video. But would not be put off by lack of servicing record and zero worry with drivetrain. 

His is under 2 years old.  September 2022 first registered.

 

There are going to be plenty Tesla cherished and loved and cared for cars on the used market, and loads of fleet / lease / rented, never serviced or much done, maybe not even cabin filters changed.

It will be a buyers market.

I know, probably same batch from same ship as my car. Same spec apart from paint colour. Good to know any possible problems from higher mileage usage. That’s the only reason I subscribed.
 

The opinions expressed in his videos are very one-sided just like the channel title. I do my best to ignore them. 
 

So far, with his car, I remember a broken MCU, a stone caused water in headlight, rear hatch alignment due to something with hinge. For me, I’ve only claimed warranty replace rear lights due to mist in lights. I’ve been keeping a very close eye on rear hinge.
 

But they are all general car problems, could happen with any car regardless of powertrain. No servicing required for EV powertrain. Unlike ICE with clutch/auto, I wouldn’t whether if car was driven with mechanics sympathy. 
 

At 2 years old, most are going to be off-lease isn’t it? Hard to find a cherished one. Dealer should do whatever needs doing before putting up for sale. 

Tesla dealers / Traders might well be doing what ever is needed @ 2 years, or pre or post MOT.  There are going to be plenty private sale of older cars and also Traders / Kerb Side Autos selling and buying cars.   There is going to be plenty vehicles requiring serving and maintenance and remedial work and trained and qualified people to do that work.
