Transcripts

so I thought I would test drive the one

which is the best one and give you a

petrol head's opinion on what it's like

living with an electric car but that's

exactly like a Volvo 850 well they found

me yesterday and said would you like to

test drive a model Y at the same time

just put a normal door handle on it why

have you got to be different and I said

why not you just flash your ID card at

the car like that and then it opens if

you've said something naughty on social

media it ain't going to work see that's

the way they're going to get you why the

heck is the door a button and not a

handle and a lever I don't like any of

these features it like driving a fast

elephant and it takes longer for the

boot to go down than if I'd just been

able to put it down with my hands the

model S plaid rewrites the rules of what

a car is capable of so it's used 29

miles to go 13 miles and it made me feel

all weird tell you what Le should have

bought Tesla you can go really really

fast in places that you couldn't

previously go really really fast and I'm

not sure that's a good thing morning

viewers I'm off on a bit of an adventure

today so I've got some sandwiches

unfortunately had to make them myself my

wife uh didn't make my sandwiches for me

I've gone for cheese and pickle uh with

proper butter now um I've got some

instructions from a friend of mine that

has said that when you do the kind of

thing that I'm doing today you have to

cut your sandwich into

triangles so across

there quite hard to do this with one

hand and then across

there that's what I'm going to do okay

so we have triangle

sandwiches I'm ready for my adventure

ladies and gentlemen this is the moment

that you've all been waiting for it's

Jeff bu cars

in a Tesla I am in a Tesla Model 3 and I

have this car overnight for an extended

test drive I'm finished playing a fancy

dress now so I can take my watch off uh

I need to get back into my sort of

normal routine um I'm wearing my beige

trousers I'm not going to take those off

oh it's been ages since I dessed up

smart but I dressed up smart to go and

get my test drive didn't want them to

recognize me basically I didn't want to

walk in and have people be like oh

you're Jeff boys cars what are you doing

here test driving at Tesla anyway went

over for the test drive and well they

found me yesterday and said would you

like to test drive a model Y at the same

time and I said why not I see I did that

so test driver model y earlier on all

the staff are great by the way very

helpful and I got back to the dealership

and I said wow that's fast and the

gentleman said let me take you out in

the model S plaid right hang on while we

do this one

I mean this is fast

but that is pretty

slow by the standards of

um right the model S plaid I was on this

road nice and straight and the gentleman

said to me before you put your foot down

just take a deep breath and prepare

yourself and I thought what utter

bollocks there is no way

that there's a car that is so fast that

it requires me to biologically prepare

myself for the acceleration so I scuffed

at him and I went and then I planted my

foot into the carpet and I nearly passed

out the model S plaid rewrites the rules

of what a car is capable of hello and

welcome to the video if you're expecting

me to come over as an EV evangelist um

then you'll be happy to know that that

is not going to happen come on regular

followers uh you will know that I don't

really believe in cars that were made

after about 2009 however for someone

that has spent quite a lot of

time flashing electric

cars I did think it was time to try one

so here we are I'm going to spend um the

afternoon and the evening and the

morning with my Tesla having an affair

with an electric car

and I'm going to tell you what I think

honestly and I'm hopefully going to be

able to advise anyone who is in a

position where they have to have an

electric car what they should get

because there are people who are in a

position where they are forced to have

an electric vehicle usually by their um

companies many company car drivers are

forced to have an electric car they have

no choice and a lot more companies are

going that way but also from a tax point

of view depending on what you do for a

living it might make Financial sense for

you to have an electric car now if you

could charge your car at home and if you

can suspend in your mind all of the

pitfalls that electric cars come with

children mining Cobalt in the Congo if

you can suspend all of that which you

have to to drive an electric car you're

going to want to know which is the best

one so I thought I would test drive the

one which is the best one

and give you a petrol head's opinion on

what it's like living with an electric

car my first impressions are uh there's

far too much technology the screen is

too big there's too much to do on it and

there's a lot of interference when I'm

driving but the other side of that is

it's quite a nice place to sit I quite

like the Simplicity of the design

cabin's nice big glass roof which as you

know I really like and um it feels nice

to drive I'm also shouting at my

camera because you can hear me because

it's quiet I got to admit I drove the

model y earlier on and I didn't like the

Y it's too big it's too bulbous it feels

like you sit too high the car's too high

it's too wide I didn't like it at all

and I don't like the regenerative

braking I don't like the way you come

off the gas it's like riding a jet ski

you know with the jet ski you come off

the gas and it just face plants um

that's kind of how it feels in this

Tesla but this one is a model 3 long

range so I've got they've given me 70%

battery which gives me where's my range

I need to get back into my car see I'm

touching the screen why is it legal for

me to do this and mess with this screen

while I'm driving but it's not legal for

me to Whatsapp my

friends it should this shouldn't be

legal the these are so distracting um if

I had a dashboard everything I would

need would be in front of me right now

it's not even in front of me it's over

there at least if I'm looking down here

I'm glancing at the road as well but my

screen is off and to the left so I'm

concentrating on everything that's going

on over here and crashing directly into

the car in front so that is just

ludicrous so right now and I'm going to

go through all of these screens with you

I'll take the camera off later on and

I'll talk you through all of the screens

and many of you will also agree with me

that there there's just too much on them

so at the minute it's showing me 70%

battery it's not actually telling me how

much range I've got because 70% means

nothing to me I know that it's a

longrange car um I'm charged to

80% I can set my Char but like just tell

me all right there you go then so that

will be the corrective steering applied

so as I looked at my screen I started to

drift off into the

Verge and then it starts to steer for me

but what's hilarious is if I go into the

middle and try to cross the white lines

nothing

happens so it doesn't allow you to crash

into trees but it does allow you to

crash into oncoming traffic excellent

time 12h Hour Energy hey there you go

energy display percentage distance I got

248 M of range however when I read the

small print earlier on when they scan my

driving license I'm only allowed to do

200 miles so annoyingly I don't have to

charge this car because I got to hand it

back for 11:00 tomorrow morning

but maybe I'll do a longer road trip

with a a Tesla maybe I won't felt a

little bit sick in the model y I don't

know maybe that's the uh maybe that's

the radiation coming off the batteries

but maybe that's just in my head go on

son off you go in your golf fastest car

in the world anybody that's using trade

plates um oh mate you don't want to be

overtaken in there jeez

Louise anyway as I said maybe I'll do a

longer road trip in a Tesla maybe I

won't um didn't like the model wire at

all didn't like the way it felt um just

too big too bulbous it was like driving

a fast elephant not a fan of that and it

made me feel all weird I couldn't put a

finger on it and maybe it was like like

I said maybe it was the EMF that

frequencies being put out by the

batteries were jarring with the

frequencies that my body is naturally

vibrating at

uh but maybe it wasn't so I don't know

I'm going to take you along for the ride

with me in the Tesla while I get used to

it um we need to put it into like fast

mode right so when you click the

indicator stalk which is a stalk uh it

was a button in the model S which is

just crazy when you click the indicator

stalk I get rear view cameras switching

on on the screen but all that does is

distract you from what's going on in

your wind screen so again what is the

point in that I love that Tesla have

very much reinvented the wheel with the

way they approach cars because it really

does rewrite the rule book as to what is

capable on four wheels the model S

really does do that the Plaid

particularly but there's certain things

that they have they've reinvented

certain wheels that didn't need

Reinventing like the doors why the heck

is the or a button and not a handle and

a lever we've had it since the beginning

of time there is nothing wrong with a

big sturdy pull lever on a door it works

and we like it why change that same with

the weird poppy oute handles on the

outside you can't tell me that there's

so much range that is being saved by the

fact that the handles pop in and out

it's just ludicrous and if you're

carrying shopping or something like that

the door handles actually quite tricky

to to get on with um just there's

nothing wrong with the door handle with

door handles we like them they work they

didn't need

Reinventing so we're 10 minutes in and

I'm already finding things I don't like

about it but generally I mean God it is

nice driving something this fast it

really

is it's quite refreshing now actually

most the cars I drive are old and slow

so it is it's pretty amusing driving

something that is this insanely

quick I don't hate it I I don't hate it

I know you all want me to hate it but

I'm not going to hate the Tesla and as

I've said I am going to suspend all of

the context that electric cars dwell

within this this screen right I just

want to mess with it but I'm driving a

car but I I would never in my I'd never

think about mounting a 12in iPad onto my

d dashboard because if I had a 12-in

iPad on my dashboard on any car I'd want

to be messing with it and that's what

I'm finding with this like this is just

nuts test the people always driving

along like this constantly messing with

their screens even when you're doing

nothing there's something to mess with

isn't there right I've got a camera here

so like I can see behind me I can see

next to me I don't need to see any of

that that's what mirrors are for again

we've had mirrors since the beginning of

time um and they just work so I don't

know no need for any of that heated

steering wheel right I'm going to say

this now I said it when I had the Range

Rover I hate heated steering wheels they

just feel weird um maybe it's because it

is quite warm today but I I don't like

them I don't like a heated steering

wheel no need heated seats I can live

with but and again it's clicked into

automatic mode I turned the heated

steering wheel off earlier on and it's

come back on so I find that a bit

strange uh right come out of the camera

again I'm driving along messing with the

screen and it's perfectly legal

how is that

right it's just

[Music]

mental back into the car settings right

have we got different mode controls

charging autopilot locks lights display

trips navigation safety service

software so where is I can change all of

the CH locks and

[Music]

everything should have bought Tesla

should have bought some

sunglasses right I know this road really

well now and I bet we can make some

serious progress on

it I so I picked this car up from the

statford baven dealership I used to work

out this way and I used to drive on this

road every day so I know this road and I

know what it's like and I've driven it

in multiple cars so I know how long it

takes me to get home from Stratford in a

normal car question is is it faster in

an electrical

car

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

okay a little bit further down the road

then um I've got to a point where

there's all traffic in front of me and I

can't make any more progress um it is

fast but you're still at the mercy of

all the other drivers yes you can

overtake in gaps where you can't in a

normal car that's not as

quick uh and I I enjoy the quiet but the

quiet as

well it gives you I don't know I don't

think you realize how fast you're going

when you accelerate to get around people

and I just feel like there could be

moments where you'd think oh I could pop

around here and go past this guy I know

there's a corner coming up but then the

speed that you go into the corner is way

more than you anticipated I can

definitely see that happening um but it

is it is undoubtedly quick the controls

and everything are pretty

straightforward so first impression

having driven it for approximately 24

miles it's all

right you come off the gas I still can't

get my head around that you come off the

gas and it dies it's so

weird it's odd because you you come off

the gas and the car acts as if it's

braking but the brake lights don't come

on so if you had someone who was right

up your chuff as Clarkson would say they

could quite easily Ram into the back of

you because your car is stopping at a

much faster Pace than the person behind

was

anticipating also on roundabouts like

it's quite funny people in old-fashioned

fossil fuel powered cars they pull out

cu they don't think you're going to be

at the point that you're at at the point

that they pull out but the acceleration

on this is so fast that it rewrites the

rules of where your car is actually

going to be on the

road

it's just nuts

like and I said the same when I had my

um when I test drove the

Volvo

xc30 recharge or C30 or C40 rechar

whatever it's called C40

cities get into that next time when I

test drove that I said that you can

achieve speed speeds on stretches of

road where you would never normally

consider achieving those kind of speeds

you can go really really fast in places

that you couldn't previously go really

really fast and I'm not sure that's a

good thing I'm really not convinced that

that Isen like that that's not a good

thing same with the N to 60 you know a

lot of these cars are sold on their n 60

like who cares it's not really about

that is it but we've got 216 M range

left um and I'm about my business I

think this is going to be quite a long

video cuz you're just on you're you're

with me for the journey I want to take

you on this journey with me you know I'm

a petrol head you know I love old cars

and you know I'm only um you know I

might be cheating on my Volvos and my

BMWs right now but you know it's not

going to last and hopefully you've

followed the channel for long enough

that you know that um I'm going the

wrong way hopefully you follow the

channel for long enough that you know

that I would never betray my roots uh um

however I'm happy to know your enemy

basically know your

enemy I'm happy to fraize it with the

Enemy but it's not the enemy is it

because as I was discussing just the

other day this whole thing was a plan to

get everybody out of their cars and

destroy all cars electric or petrol or

diesel so we need to all club together

and fight tooth and nail to ensure that

the car industry is allowed to carry on

as it needs to carry on is what I was

trying to say it it is fast like like

you can't deny that you can make

incredible progress because you get to a

dual carriageway where you've got good

visibility and you can just plant your

foot down and you just disappear but now

okay here's here's a good example I'm in

a 30 mph zone I'm doing 29 M hour

there's nothing behind me and I'm on a

downhill section if I take my foot off

the gas we should roll all the way down

here but no already

uh that's it we

stopped we've stopped completely the car

should be rolling downhill I find that

really odd it goes against everything

that you know about cars and motoring

because in a petrol or a diesel at that

point you'd have been coasting so and

you can't turn that off on these Teslas

you cannot correct me in the comments if

I'm wrong but you can't turn off that

regenerative braking which means you're

always on the gas or off the gas so

you're either going h or you stopped so

I guess it takes a little bit of getting

used

to

um I'm already used to where the speedo

is that's okay that's in the top right

hand corner of this big screen but it is

odd not having a speedo directly in

front of

you and the screen's all right I mean

there's a lot going on on it but I guess

with time you wouldd understand all of

the little Bob bits and Bobs that are on

the screen

however if I go into into the trip

settings which I can legally press on

this great big touch screen which is

over here because I can do that legally

while I'm driving apparently um in trips

it shows me my most recent trips so I've

done 32 miles I reset the other ones but

there's four recent trips on there sorry

two recent trips and then there's trip a

and trip B now on those it tells me my

distance and my duration and my average

energy

consumption and for example

um I shouldn't have reset the other one

cuz that would have told me how my

driving is on average but my driving on

average has actually been

okay

however two things there one you can

guarantee that the technicians are able

to get more information on those trips

and I'm willing to bet that they can get

stuff like g-forces acceleration and top

speed and two they've told me that if I

ow if I exceed a certain speed then the

gentleman who's booked the test drive

for me gets an

email so his inbox is full no I'm joking

um I'm told that the model S plaid can

do 200 M

hour and I can believe it because the

way that thing accelerated was like

nothing I've ever experienced it was

nuts however I have arrived at my

destination with 18 minutes to spare now

Lee would say A B C all oh hit the curb

terrible driving Jeff uh dead right in

the road Lee would say ABC always be

charging so I'm going to simulate

charging by doing the things that I

would do if I was charging I've got 20

minutes uh so I'm going to read you a

story whilst I charge pretend to

charge these Skies today are

absolutely mental crazy crazy Skies

today but we're not not talking about

that today we're

uh parking here so I'm going to park

here and I'm going to read you a

story I want to I want to press a button

or turn a key to turn the car off but

there is no button or key I just click

it into park like that and then that's

it it's very strange so how do I switch

the car how do I switch the car off at

this stage does it just carry on doing

its thing cuz now it's consuming it's

still running the

aircom and it's still doing all of the

things uh right anyway let's um let's

simulate

charging good afternoon this is my

charging stop I've got my coffee I've

got my sandwiches cut into triangles um

I'm already wearing my bige trousers

what else did Lisa I have to do oh yeah

take a book for any charging so we've

got this one this is the falsification

of history and funnily enough because I

am driving a Tesla there is a section

about Tesla let me find it this is by

John heer and it is a fantastic book

actually uh essentially he runs through

everything so in part one we're talking

about Evolution and the real origins of

the human race we talk a little bit

about Atlantis the ancient Bloodlines

Freemasonry and The Great Library of

Alexandria with a touch on false flag

operations part two we go from the Dark

Ages up towards all sorts of things like

the gunpow the Gunpowder Plot World War

I World War II part three we're into the

world of today uh a subheading our

distorted reality useful idiots

corporations Bohemian Grove USA

Incorporated the elite controll

mainstream media the illusion of

democracy uh harp weather and geological

manipulation check uh mind control

Fukushima Chemtrails our toxic Skies

check but the bit I want to talk to you

about is right at the back here to do

with suppressed Technologies so if we go

to page

616 we can talk about a man who you may

have heard of called Nicola Tesla and I

find it ironic that the Serbian inventor

Nicola Tesla who allegedly came up with

free

electricity his name is now used by the

man that wants to charge you for

electricity to drive your car and

implant a chip within your brain so stay

with me for this one wireless

electricity the Serbian inventor Nicola

Tesla whose contribution to subsequently

suppressed Technologies cannot be

underestimated was the Undisputed father

of many of the inventions that defined

the modern electronic era and was the

first person to demonstrate this

principle in

1890 Tesla based his Wireless

electricity idea on a concept known as

electromagnetic induction which was

discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831

and reports that electric current

flowing through one wire can induce

current to flow in another wire nearby

to illustrate that principle Tesla built

two huge world power towers that would

broadcast current into the air to be

received remotely by electrical devices

around the globe few believed it could

work and to be fair to the doubt it did

not work that well when Tesla first

switched on his 200 foot 200t tall 1

million volt Colorado Springs Tower 130

ft long bolts of electricity shot out of

it Sparks played around the toes of

passes by and the grass around the

laboratory glowed blue despite this

initial failure there is little doubt

that Tesla eventually succeeded in his

quest to produce wireless electricity

but it has remained commercially unused

and dormant for more than 100 100 years

largely duee to the energy cartel

suppression of the technology to protect

their own profit

systems however after a gap of greater

than a century several companies are now

coming to Market with technologies that

can safely transmit power through the

air a breakthrough that prends the

literal untethering of our abundant

electronic devices until this

development the phrase Mobile

Electronics has been somewhat of a

deception how portable is your laptop if

it has to feed every 4 hours

or your milk float like an embryo

through a cord how mobile is your phone

if it shuts down after too long away

from a power source the technology about

to arrive upon the electronics Market

this is an old book is an inductive

device much like the one Tesla designed

but much smaller it looks like a mouse

pad and can send power through the air

over a distance of a few inches a

powered coil inside that pad creates a

magnetic field which as Faraday

predicted induces current to flow

through a small secondary coil that's

built into any portable device such as a

flashlight a phone or a computer the

electrical current that then flows in

the secondary coil charges the device's

integral rechargeable

battery radiant energy Nicola Tesla's

magnifying transmitter and T Henry Mor's

radiant energy device Edwin Gray's EMA

motor and Paul Bowman's testaa machine

all run on radiant energy this natur

energy form can be gathered directly

from the environment via static

electricity or extracted from standard

electricity by a method known as

fractionation radiant energy can perform

exactly the same functions as ordinary

electricity at less than 1% of the cost

it does not behave exactly like

electricity however which to be fair has

contributed to the scientific

community's misunderstanding of it the

mesena community in Switzerland

currently has five or six working mod

models of fuess self-running devices

that tap this energy then we get into

permanent magnets mechanical heaters

super efficient Electro electrolysis the

water powerered car we should probably

do that one shouldn't we water can be

broken down into its constituent parts

of hydrogen and oxygen using electricity

mainstream science however claims that

this process requires more energy than

can be recovered when the gases are

recombined this is true only in the

worst case scenario when water is

bombarded with its own molecular

resonant frequency using a system

developed by Stan Meers also by others

it collapses into hydrogen and oxygen

gas with very little electrical input

also using different electrolytes

additives that make the water conduct

electricity better changes the

efficiency of the process dramatically

it is also known that certain geometric

structures and surface textures are more

effective than others the implication of

this is is that unlimited amounts of

hydrogen fuel can be made to drive

engines for example in cars for simply

the cost of water even more amazing is

the fact that a special metal alloy was

patented by fredman in 1957 that

spontaneously breaks water into hydrogen

and oxygen with no outside electrical

input and without causing any chemical

damages in the metal itself this in

effect means that this special metal

alloy can make hydrogen from water free

of cost forever Stan Mayers the American

inventor of a working patented vehicle

that ran only on normal household water

was allegedly murdered by poisoning in

the late 1990s after successfully

demonstrating his prototype which was

capable of 100 mph he had been the

subject of harassment and threats by

Elite Big Oil interests and his death

was perhaps the not too surprising

culmination of his refusal to Cease the

project so what is happening today

regarding mea's great invention

absolutely nothing nothing the patent

still exists and is available to view on

the internet so therefore the technology

or at least the wherewith all to

recreate the technology still exists so

why is this invention not being

manufactured today simply because it

will solve all the world's energy

problems instantly and almost literally

overnight eliminate oil as an essential

fuel as we know and that is not how

politics and commerce works it's always

money that rules and Common Sense is not

the determining

Factor if you would like to see me read

more of this book and if you quite like

the audio book style format let me know

because I quite enjoy doing that reading

aloud um and there's plenty of other

books that we could read so I think that

is where we're going to need a second

Channel Jeff tells stories um so there

we go that is me simulating charging my

car I've only done it for8 minutes and

I'm bored are you board um it's time to

eat my sandwiches and have a

coffee okay then 259 I have 20 minutes

before the kids finish school and I need

to pick them up so um distance 14 miles

duration 23 minutes I think that was the

drive that I just did but since the last

charge it was charged at Stratford um so

15 kwatt hours average energy 318

someone in the comments can tell me if

that's any good so so far I've done 47

miles in this Tesla um trip a and trip B

I reset halfway home so I've used 7

kwatt hours for half yeah basically this

is the one that we're interested in

because it's since last charge over here

I've got search I don't really know what

I can search for there controls so I can

mess with all this sort of stuff um

lights off lights on headlights and I

can do all of that or automatic which

I'm obviously going to have uh automatic

is Handy but it's good that you can

manually change that I can fold the

mirror in there we go mirrors folding in

unfold mirrors uh child lock is all

managed from here the window locks

managed from here and the glove

box that is absolutely mental

why oh I can't close it so it's just a

release all right that's cool that's old

fashioned I click a button and my glove

box

opens uh fair enough then we've got

wipers here mirrors up and down and

recording now the recording thing I

don't understand this because if I click

it it does that and then it goes back to

where it was

before now it says green uh so is it

recording all the time and if it is

recording where is that information

going and who's got access to it

questions there absolutely steering I

can then mess with my wheel on here when

I'm in this mode and I can move it up

and down however I would say the

steering wheel seems to be slightly over

to the left um and not Central so that's

the steering then we've got Sentry mode

which is to do with um like locking the

car up so that's fine I'm not going to

mess with that today right let's just go

back on trips a second because if the

car is recording all of this information

then it's also recording more I think

this car is also recording lots of other

stuff including fastest speed reached

and acceleration and all that sort of

stuff but it's not shown on the car but

I'm willing to bet that the technicians

have got access to all of that so what

are my notifications basically just

windscreen washer fluid um got some

limited features there so that's

basically all the alerts that have

popped up on the car pedals and steering

we've got acceleration chill or standard

I mean standard is prenty plenty fast

enough steering mode has gone back to

standard I was using sport on the run

back earlier and it was fine now in

stopping mode we've got creep roll and

hold creep roll and hold um that is to

do with what the car does when you're

stopped and roll effectively makes it a

little bit like an automatic I.E the car

will creep forward even though creep is

named creep but I found all that a bit

strange charging I got 187 mil range I

started with 238 mil range I think um so

we are running down the battery

autopilot I'm not really messing with

but you've got stuff like traffic aware

cruise control Auto steering traffic

light stop sign control speed limit

and all sorts of stuff that really I

don't like you've got a blind spot

camera that switches on when you click

your indicator I don't like that so I'm

going to take that off you got the blind

spot Collision warning chime I've not

actually had to use that yet clearly

because I haven't tried to pull out with

someone in my blind spot speed limit

warning on the display you can set that

to chime so that it makes a noise when

you're going over the speed limit speed

limit relative or absolute not quite

sure what that means but then you can

set an off set as well so I assume that

you can make the car tell you when

you're going a couple of miles an hour

over the speed limit forward Collision

warning late early medium so again you

can set the point at which the car warns

you you're about to have a crash Lane

departure avoidance the most annoying uh

feature on a car um I can set it to

assist or it'll pull the wheel back over

or on warning mode and then I've got all

this stuff as well emergency Lane

departure automatic emergency braking

obstacle aware acceleration traffic

aware cruise control charm green Traffic

Light charm obviously I like old cars I

like being aware of what's going on

around me I don't like any of these

features clearly so that's that then

you've got the locks you can mess with

with the key card so you can see who is

connected to

who um which again I just find weird

because I can guarantee that if Tesla

straford upon I wanted to they could

just shut me down um heck they could

probably call the car back to the uh

dealership um but then you got lots of

different stuff I do find it weird that

you don't have have a key you just quite

simply have this key card and you

balance your key card around about here

and then the card does what you want it

to do and you waggle this near the door

camera um when you want to get started

145 mph top speed I haven't done that

speed yet and if I had the dealers

would know about it lights uh we've done

that one already the display so

different settings light dark Auto I can

reduce the blue light um warmer colors

at night yeah I like the idea that we'll

have that on brightness is on 100% but

it's quite a bright day clean screen

mode I guess keeps it simple scroll

wheel function so I can change the

function of the scroll

wheel temperature fan speed wide speed

brightness dash cam acceleration mode

steering wheel heat see it would make

sense for me that that scroll wheel

would be temperature um ask each time no

don't want it to do that touchscreen

language voice recognition it does do

voice recognition as well which I've

been playing around with but I'm only

fairly early in my journey with the car

I've already changed the percentage the

the energy display from percentage to

the distance cuz I don't really see the

point in having a percentage you really

only want distance on there and

obviously we're in miles and not

kilometers and Celsius and PSI trips

we've talked about a little bit I can't

click into these trips that's what I'd

like to be able to do I'd like to be

able to click into this trip and find

out more about what I did on that trip

that's where I was thinking I could

click that and it would say right on

this trip of 14 miles your top speed was

X your fastest 0 to 60 was X and maybe

there's a way that you can get into all

of that I don't know tell me in the

comments uh we just clicked into low

battery mode on my phone which is

hilarious navigation I've not really

used the navigation yet but I mean it's

basically just a saav isn't it and you

can tell it to do everything you want

safety uh like the irony of the safety

when I'm looking at and flipping massive

iPad on the middle of my car delete dash

cam clips right so I can delete all of

the dash clim Clips so we can get rid of

that all Clips stored on the USB flash

drive and save locally to onboard memory

will be permanently deleted you can't

undo this action right but where did you

get those from and where do they go

because you can guarantee those are

backed up centrally somewhere so I find

that a bit interesting uh keyless

driving pin to drive so you can set up a

PIN to drive the car I quite like that

that's cool cabin overheat H that's

interesting maybe if you leave your dog

in the car or a

child passenger front airbag tilt

intrusion Park CH gear chimes

Joe mode what on Earth is that enabling

Joe mode reduces the volume of your

car's Chimes the quieter Chimes continue

to alert the driver effectively and

minimize disruption to passengers in the

rear seats are you Joe's kids all right

okay fair enough um yeah I like that cuz

I find all of the Chimes and everything

quite intrusive and annoying um so I

would want to just turn everything off

service uh 44 44 43 and 43 so my tires

are okay owners manuals Towing Car Wash

mode not see I mean there there's just

so much here so this is the thing with

having a test drive of a Tesla let's say

you go test drive Tesla for half an hour

it's not long enough to familiarize

yourself with all of this because this

genuinely is a completely different type

of car to anything that we've been used

to before especially if like me you're

coming to a Tesla from an older vehicle

yes modern cars would have a screen and

they would have all these menus and all

these different options but old cars

don't so it's honestly it's it is a

completely new world you've got all this

stuff and I have to say the obvious

which is at some point all of this is

going to go wrong all of it the whole

lot mess with my steering wheel heat

down there look I got my heated seats

down here um so I've got everything I've

got my airon mode there it's great don't

get me wrong it's great and it does a

lot but my only question is how long is

it going to do all of this for is it

capable of doing this for 30 years and

how much is it going to cost to fix all

the software on this when it goes wrong

because the fact of the matter is you

cannot do anything with this car without

knowing that there's a dealer a phone

call away you know you couldn't take

like my old Volvos you can take them on

a road trip and you don't have to think

about your dealer or the software or

getting in touch with anyone you just do

it this this car you cannot do anything

with unless you are completely connected

all of the time I'm not going to go into

on this 10minute video um all of the

stuff about who I think should have a

Tesla and who shouldn't I don't mind the

car I don't think they're for everyone I

don't think they're the future I will

not be getting rid of my old Volos I

just wanted to try a Tesla from the

point of view of someone that is not on

board with electric cars and absolutely

loves driving old cars right 10 minutes

passed through time to go and fetch the

small child who's going to be absolutely

thrilled to bits that I'm picking him up

in a

Tesla right a little bit further on with

my journey with the Tesla I hate the

door handles why does that need to be a

button just give me a great big pull

handle cuz you know that that's just

going to break and then how are you

going to open your door there'll be some

sort of emergency thing underneath here

there'll be some form of handle or

something there it is I found it look at

that in an emergency

that's all you need hey that's like a

Volvo 850 it's a pullback one look at

that we found the secret button on a

Tesla so you can use the button or you

can just use the Vol they copied a vol

we 50 didn't they I don't want to do a

whistling diesel here and open the door

that many times that I actually break it

but that's exactly like a Volvo

850 right okay let's just talk about the

outside for a moment oh look there's a

beetle um right this is the dumbest

thing ever imagine you've got some big

heavy bags you have to press that and

then oh actually you can just pull it

like that

so it's like a soft cloth on a

Mercedes but I don't know I'm just I'm

I'm not sure I'm not convinced but it

does kind of work doesn't it hey Jeff

was all talk the door handle does make

sense I still think that's going to

break though at some point don't

you yeah I don't know let me know what

you think of these door handles and the

interior ones which as I've just proven

are a little bit like a Volvo

850 I'm glad I found that that's much

easier than I bet you know when Lee got

stuck in his Porsche tie can I bet it

wasn't as easy as that tell you what Lee

should have bought

Tesla right trying this again look if I

push that in the whole door pops out so

I can pull it open okay that's okay I'm

all right with that but the back door if

I push that in it doesn't open I can't

pull that open so if I've got bags of

shopping I can't just do that I've got

to do that and like I'm filming now I'm

using one hand imagine my other hand is

actually a bag of shopping I got to do

that get my hand around there just just

no need for it it's just an unnecessary

awkward movement just put a normal door

handle on it why have you got to be

different no need for it cuz this got a

door handle in the back as well so this

doesn't have the emergency door handle

there so where's the emergency door

handle in the back must be in here

somewhere there must be an emergency

door handle in the back a manual handle

there has to be I'd absolutely want

there to be one in the back for my kids

I really really would is that it no

that's a screw all right leave this one

with me and I'll find out later in the

video If there's no manual door handle

in the back of this

car then that's just an insane safety

breach there's got to be one hasn't

there there has to be right and to open

and close the car you just flash your ID

card at the car like that and then it

opens obviously if your ID card isn't up

to date with your Jabs or your social

credit score or if you've said something

naughty on social media it ain't going

to work see that's the way they're going

to get you I mean they get you with oh

look isn't the technology great isn't it

a fast car isn't it wonderful you could

charge it from home it's fantastic but

the end goal is oh you didn't have all

your Jabs and your social credit score

wasn't up to date and you haven't been

very nice to the government on the

social media so when you do that it's

not going to do anything that's where

we're headed but people don't see it

because as I said early last year the

people didn't

see mine still works for the moment

little bit later on in the evening now

just been for a swim with my little bean

you had a good swim yeah and um climbed

back in the car and he'd already got the

heated seats on for both of us music's

trying to look it's flashy why is it

doing that see we paused that so why is

that coming back on then that's strange

isn't it no I'm not blaming you I'm just

saying he shouldn't be doing

that like we've paused it we've clicked

pause so why did it come back on then

it's not right is it it even switched

the song and it even switched the song

as well so it did that by itself isn't

it so that's a bit odd anyway uh we come

out from our swim and my 7-year-old had

already got the heat of seats on for

both of us before I'd even sat down and

like put my stuff in the car and got the

key ready so I like that that's a good

feature

but wow it's still doing it why that's

interesting isn't it we've paused it and

it keeps coming on um so but but that's

that's not like a Tesla feature any car

could have that any modern car with Good

batteries internal combustion could have

a feature whereby you can pretty warm it

so you know that that that's not like

a right so when you mess with the heated

seats the radio comes on didn't it

that's what happened then press your

heated seat

button no what about if I press

mine that's really weird so the radio is

kind of just doing its Spotify is doing

its

own is it why I don't know is it cuz we

said Spotify no it's not play you can

talk to this Tesla though you can say

Tesla temperature

25

I think or you hold that down hey Tesla

temperature

25 no Tesla tell me 25 navigating to

Tesla now it's trying to take me to the

dealership I hate voice activation

because it's rubbish because if you have

a slight accent it just doesn't work so

what we've worked out is that um you

like the big touchcreen don't you yeah

but I just don't like why' you need that

like it's dark now all I want is a

speedo all I want is a speedo so what

I've decided is modern cars need to have

a very simple dashboard I like the

wooden dashboard I like the Simplicity

of the dashboard okay but I want dials I

hate

screens uh drove a brand new Mercedes

recently where where the whole thing is

screens there's no dials anymore bring

back dials but then just give me a very

simple array of buttons that can be

touched at any point without draining

the battery so we could turn the heated

seats on before we start the car that

makes a lot of sense

um but this big screen business doesn't

make any sense and we don't really like

the door handles do we no but you found

an emergency but I'm glad I found the

emergency door handle it it's like a

Volvo cuz that one's like a Volvo but

you really like the look of the Tesla

don't you and all your mates were really

impressed with the Tesla and I think

that says a lot about Tesla's marketing

and like the the the sort of um Aura of

that Tesla have what does Aura mean well

it's like the kind of I don't know the

thing the chi the energy that Tesla

funny I said that have created um the

kids just love them but it is a totally

different way of

driving it's completely disconnected

from any type of driving you've done

before um like it's it's wonderful in

everything but I'm not thinking oh

wouldn't it be great to get one and

lower the suspension and do such and

such with the wheels and maybe you know

change the look of it or whatnot you

just think oh what a great tool and

that's the point like it is a great tool

but it doesn't have the so or the

longevity of a car with real character

because really when you break it down

all it's got is that it's fast and quiet

and there's lots of other cars that

could do that and it's got a big screen

and it's got a big screen so it's fast

and it's quiet and it's got a big

screen right um headlights are great but

then it's a it's a modern car so you'd

expect that the headlights are great uh

and the acceler Have I mentioned the

acceleration oh yeah it accelerates

really fast range though um we left the

swimming Bass with 154 mil left and

we've already gone through 13 mil range

we've only done about 3 miles so I've

only got 141 miles left and I haven't

even got home yet so it's going to be

interesting cuz tomorrow I've got to do

the school run and then I've got to get

this car back to Tesla I reckon I'm

going to be returning back to Tesla with

like 40 m range on the clock and I'm

only driving it like a person drives a

car I'm accelerating here and there

because you can and if you're going to

say oh you could get more range by

accelerating less then what's the point

of having a car that could do U to 60 in

so few seconds if you're not going to

drive it like that so you can't use the

argument just drive the car less hard

cuz if you're going to drive the car

less hard then there's no point having

an electric car so these

arguments like the arguments to to to

the pro electric car arguments you like

tie yourself in hoops with it you tie

yourself in hoops tie yourself in Loops

you tie yourself in

knots to justify it to

yourself right that's us out for the

evening we're going to go home I'm going

to put you to bed and wellow I am in a

bit and um then I'm going to summarize

my thoughts and then tomorrow I'll take

to school in this and then I got to whip

back over to Tesla in Stratford on 140

Mi range yeah it really has eating the

range up um and like I say you can't say

that that's because I've been driving

too hard cuz what's the point you know

I've just said it what's the point if

you can't drive it hard I love that you

can get out in gaps that you just

couldn't in a petrol or diesel car but

you can accelerate onto roundabouts and

away from Junctions in a way that was

previously never possible that's good so

if you have to be somewhere or if it's

your commuting car spot on nice and

quiet and if you can guarantee the range

and if you could charge at home but I

I'll do all this in my conclusion cuz I

these work for some people but not

everyone wouldn't work for me cuz it

doesn't suit My Lifestyle but I like it

for a day it suits mine suits your

lifestyle does it yeah cuz you haven't

got a job or any responsibilities but

don't worry all of that is coming soon

and when they used to say that to me as

a kid I never really understood what

they meant enjoy it mate these are the

best days of your

life does it feel like they're the best

days of your life yeah good thanks for

watching this little nighttime section
