  • (upbeat instrumental music)

  • - What's up everybody.

  • That's right, we're getting rid of our Tesla,

  • this great Tesla.

  • We've had it for almost two years and it is time

  • so I want to explain a little bit

  • why we're getting rid of it.

  • So to give you a little bit of history

  • we've been wanting a Tesla for probably,

  • I don't know ever since they ever came out

  • but realistically for the last four or five years

  • we've said "We're getting a Tesla."

  • But, we are very very thrifty and we save our money

  • and we try not to spend it on expensive things

  • and so when the first Teslas came out

  • we were like, that's really really expensive,

  • let's wait to get a used one and we should be able

  • to get a good deal on it.

  • I got brand new rims on it so those are like

  • really really good quality.

  • We painted the calipers red if you remember from that video.

  • I love the gray.

  • Inside the leather is also gray,

  • got a little laundry in there.

  • It is a Model S, the license plate even says inside.

  • P85 is the type.

  • In the back we have the bucket seats.

  • I don't know if you guys know there's bucket seats

  • in some of these Teslas.

  • It's an upgrade option.

  • We wanted it because we have three kids

  • and if we can get two of them in the back seat,

  • one in the very back, they're not touching each other

  • and they're happy or we could fit multiple kids in there.

  • It's like an SUV but a cool lookin' SUV.

  • We bought this car for around $60,000.

  • The sticker prices was $122,000

  • from the person that originally bought it

  • so basically I got half off for a car that's a few years old

  • and it's pretty dang nice.

  • So why are we getting rid of it,

  • what are some of the reasons?

  • And I hope this is helpful for all of you

  • that are thinking of buying a used Tesla,

  • you can learn from us and maybe not make the same mistakes

  • and then even if you paid a little bit more on your car

  • you'll be happy and safer with it

  • because honestly this car has gotten to the point

  • where it is not safe for our family to drive in.

  • I'm dead serious like it's not safe.

  • So here's what I mean by that.

  • Take a look at these tires.

  • We bought them nine months ago,

  • they're in good shape, they're pretty good.

  • Now if you look at the back tires,

  • not quite the same, see that white right there?

  • That is the actual treads so yes

  • the treads of the tire are showing on the back.

  • These tires are eight months old.

  • They should've lasted much much longer than that,

  • so a couple of reasons why that's happening.

  • One, our tire sensors went out for a little while

  • so the tires would spin a little bit more.

  • We went to the Tesla service station

  • about the spinning tires, about the tire sensors.

  • They said they know, it's a known recall.

  • It's something that is gonna take like

  • a couple of months for them to get in.

  • It did, it took about four months.

  • Finally we were able to get this in.

  • We got the sensors fixed but during that time

  • even when we weren't trying to drive super super fast

  • which yes, I do drive fast sometimes,

  • but we weren't trying to, it would spin the tires

  • and so the wear was really fast.

  • So here's the deal.

  • The 2012, 2013 Model S cars were rear-wheel drive.

  • This is a problem, like whenever we go on road trips

  • or whenever we're driving and it starts raining,

  • not just snow but whenever it starts raining,

  • the back end slips out and it's super scary.

  • We've almost crashed it into the wall

  • or another car so many times.

  • One time we were 30 minutes away from our home,

  • we had to pull over and get a hotel

  • and there was only about two inches of snow on the ground.

  • The risk of crashing, I know this is a very very safe car

  • but I've never actually been in a car accident before

  • and the risk of crashing with my family and my kids

  • in the car is just not something that's worth it.

  • So what I would say is if you're looking

  • for a Tesla Model S and you're looking for a discounted one

  • get one with all-wheel drive.

  • Stay away from the rear-wheel drive Teslas

  • because it's just not worth your safety.

  • Maybe if you live in like Arizona and it rarely rains

  • and when it does rain you're very very cautious

  • and you maybe don't drive in it, you'll be okay.

  • But if you live anywhere where there's ice or snow

  • this is not the car for you.

  • It is super super dangerous and scary

  • and I would imagine, I'm no Tesla expert,

  • but I would imagine that's why pretty much

  • all the cars these days for Tesla are all-wheel drive.

  • Not just 'cause it goes faster because all four tires

  • grip at the same time but because there is so much

  • torque and so much power that if you have that spread out

  • among four tires you're more likely to stay safe.

  • The second thing and this is something that

  • is super super small but something I didn't like about it.

  • This guy right here, this front fascia, they've changed it.

  • Now it's all the same color and they don't have this.

  • If you saw from one of our previous videos

  • where our Tesla battery died we had to take this off

  • and it was a pain to try to figure out how to take off.

  • The more and more of the newer cars that come out

  • that don't have this front plaque fascia,

  • the more outdated these older versions are going to look.

  • Let's talk about range on this car.

  • This car gets you pretty much everywhere you need to go.

  • We've taken it on a couple of road trips

  • all the way from Utah to Los Angeles

  • and we had to stop multiple times.

  • This Tesla's range with the battery

  • is around 258 miles per charge.

  • If I were to do it again I would get a newer car

  • with a bigger battery so I could get closer to 300 miles

  • on the range for the car because

  • what those extra 50 miles really make a difference

  • when you're on a road trip.

  • So I'm not 100% sure what we're gonna replace this with

  • but I do know that we need to get rid of it

  • and it's super sad.

  • My wife especially is really sad, it's her car.

  • She feels like a very cute Mom when she's driving this

  • and when there's no kids in the car

  • she doesn't even feel like a Mom,

  • she just feels like a cute girl that has her nice car.

  • So for all of you that are considering getting a Model S,

  • a used one, I hope this video is helpful

  • so that I'm not saying don't get the 2012, 2013.

  • I'm just saying have a pause.

  • Make sure that it's the right car for you

  • and you're ready to live with the rear-wheel drive

  • and the slower, the lower battery range.

  • If you're willing to deal with those things

  • go ahead and get it, but for us and our family

  • it's just not something worth considering

  • and I did not know that before about this car

  • so I thought that it'd be super helpful.

  • Hopefully somebody that's watching,

  • that's why we're getting rid of our Tesla.
