Good stuff!

He looks older.

I agree.. I hope to educate to help people understand it may work for them... also once you drive an EV it is hard tk go back to a gas car

How long have teslas been out? 10 yrs? Why have you been through 4 of them already?

@NWI_Steel Upgraded to ones with bigger batteries for more range, and one was a lease. And we typically keep a vehicle for a couple of years and then move on. The current one I have had a year and am already thinking about getting a different one. But I love the Tesla brand, and the Supercharging network can't be beat.

I’ve had 6 different ICE cars in the last 6 years (1 totaled in an accident after owning it for two months). Sold my ‘22 Tucson last year for a Model Y when Tesla dropped their prices and it qualified for the tax credit again (7th car). Not sure how relevant how many cars you have (ICE or EV) in a specific amount of time.

The only EV really worth while right now due to the super charger network. I understand they're opening it to other cars, but still. money in the bank for Tesla with those.

Don't forget to change your gear oil, brake fluid, and coolant regularly if you want to keep it long term. Ah who am I kidding, you are on your third car; you don't keep them for 20 years like the working class do.

Thanks for sharing👍

My brand new equinox ev got rear ended yesterday, making it underivable. Now I’m scared about how long i might i have to wait.

Haha

Stellantis is doing a great job of messing that car up. Production could be transferred to a foreign country.

@@dalemartin6063 still no sales tax... no current NJ incentive at the moment

I don’t think it’s so much technique as much as its traffic conditions. I live at the southern mots edge of the DC area & on the occasions that I decide to drive into work which is in downtown DC I will use twice as much battery in the way to work than coming home because on the way home traffic is mostly bumper to bumper. However if I use the express lanes on the way home my efficiency is significantly less than what it is in the morning when there’s less traffic.

One pedal helps as well as the regen-on-demand paddle. I rarely if ever use the actually brake pedal

What do you think he should say? "Vehicle Identification Number? VIN is quicker and everyone probably knows what he is talking about.

@@mikenonya6382 So saying “VIN number” is ok with you? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I had a history teacher that would hate when someone said Sahara Desert because Sahara means desert so you are really saying desert desert... we all rolled our eyes

@@DaveBsellsChevy 😂 Obviously my comment was all in good fun. I absolutely love your videos and appreciate you taking the time to produce & share them with us. I’m a GMC guy myself, currently driving an Acadia Denali, so I love seeing the similarities and/or differences between it & Chevy’s equivalent. I don’t know if you ever noticed, but the GMC logo on the grill of the 20-23 Denali is actually surrounded by Chevy bow ties. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

My plan was to film more throughout the day but I got so busy that I never did so there was no more footage to add. Ended up selling 3 yesterday. one new and two used.

nope

I’ve owned three different EV’s & I have NEVER had any of those concerns, I just get in my car & go just like any other car I’ve ever had. Just like in an ICE vehicle those concerns just don’t exist 99.9% of the time because just like in an ICE vehicle when you get to a certain state of charge you just plug in. Honestly that is something that is brought up by bias people who have no ideas what they are taking about and act as if things like HVAC, weather & hills don’t affect ICE vehicles as well.

@@kenyattaclay7666 why so many? I've had one Subaru for the last decade with only 2 minor repairs. Additionally I road trip my car and can't stomach the thought of 30-45 min stops ever 250 miles. I have a 550 mile range, drive about 400, refill in 5 minutes, then drive another 400. I'm sure you get the point. Around town EVs are fine, but not patient enough for road trips in an EV. Please I oppose the govt paying people to buy them with our tax dollars

I much rather them spend our tax dollars on US citizens and not send a dime overseas. imagine all the problems in this country that could be solved.

@@jpmiller99 first let me just point out that the average road trip that Americans take is less than 350 miles so for 99.9% of all so called road trips an EV will get you there & back just fine & at most you’ll only have to stop just once. The simple fact is people don’t actually go on these long road trips like we think we do. Also, even in an ICE vehicle most people are stopping every 2-3 hours anyway if only to use the restroom & most DC fast charging stops are between 15-30 minutes which is only slightly longer than the average stop in an ICE vehicle. Second, I like upgrading my vehicles to fit my lifestyle. I’ve also bought three homes upgrading each time. If you want to keep the same car and/or house for ten or twenty years then good on you. However I’ve also never had any serious issues with any of my cars, I just wanted something different so when it came to a point where I would lose money I upgraded but trust me, you aren’t special because you decide to hold onto a car for ten years.

​@@kenyattaclay7666 my point is there is not an EV that I know of that will go 10 years, and even 350 miles of range is not doable in the real world with a buffer required in the event of chargers that don't work. Model y real world range sub 300. I am not speaking for others, but for myself. A drive 1000 mile road trips at least twice per year so I am not going EV until they solve the range and charging issues. Infrastructure sucks if you are not driving a Tesla. And I don't care about 99.9% of road trips, I care about mine. In the US we are not a collective

Ummmm what????? You seriously might want to take or retake a few history classes if you think we are not usually forced to do anything, especially the years between 1619 & 1865 in southern states for my ancestors. However you might want any to also consider reading into the history of the automobile itself, it was t exactly an option after a certain point when switching from the horse & buggy if you wanted transportation. You also might want to read about the expansion of the railroads or even how the interstate highway system was built. I could go in for days but I’d be here forever. You might want to edit your comment to more accurately reflect what you are trying to say.

@@kenyattaclay7666 you heard me. We should not be told what to drive or how to live by the government. They shouldn't tell us what to do, we should the govt what to do. I'll be damned if I get into an electric car because "the govt said so". Speaking of history, my ancestors started a revolution over a tax on tea. It happened before and it should happen again. How about a revolution over an EV mandate? Or taxes?

@@jpmiller99 your ancestors didn’t stat a revolution over tax on tea. If you are going to try & play that then A) you need to actually know what you are talking about & B) not make such an incorrect statement to someone with not only a history degree but a masters degree in political science. Also, there’s a HUGE difference between what should happen & what shouldn’t. My ancestors shouldn’t have been forced to come to this country & build wealth for a ruling class. My other ancestors shouldn’t have been put on a forced march across the country because people wanted to take their land nor should Andrew Jackson been allowed to ignore a SCOTUS ruling that said that very land did not belong to the US. However there are thousands of things that as you want to put it that Americans have been “forced” into & you saying that that’s not how things have been done is well just not correct. I tried to be nice about it & just suggest that you restate what you said but no, you have to double down on an ignorant statement. 🙄 BTW, the revolution goes back to a tax on Stamps that had to be affixed on documents that was passed in 1765, not tea. Seriously dude, this is just basic 5th grade history.

@@kenyattaclay7666 oh a masters degree in political science. Now I am impressed. You must be a big fan of big government, or better yet a govt employee. Good luck with that. I am amongst those not on the govt payroll that won't do or buy what they say, all while they rob us blind.

​@@kenyattaclay7666the Boston tea party is credited as one act leading to the revolution. Apologies, but I studied economics and got an MBA, so I can certainly tell you how bad govt mandates are for the economy. In addition to imperiling on our basic rights, it causes uneconomic allocation of capital, such as EV mandates and subsidies. Unfortunately I live in a blue state for now that thinks they are outlawing the sale of new ice cars in 2032 and I can tell you that will be a disaster for the car industry unless EVs get much better and cheaper.

Yup, it is nice to have inventory again... still about 200 units short of pre pandemic inventory but seems to be working ok

How many miles do you drive on average daily?

@DaveBsellsChevy I'm not sure I see the relevance, but in the year I've had the vehicle about 12,000.

@@DaveBsellsChevy I am arguing this with some other dude on here. While EVs work in day to day driving, those of us who road trip the car 1000 miles a couple of times per year find them a poor substitute, with longish charging times and broken chargers, unless drive a Tesla. Even then you are talking about 30 - 40 min charging times. That's probably why on my interstate trips I don't see too many Teslas/EVs. Better suited for daily driving. If you never road trip that's great, but not good yet for us road trippers.

We did that once and it ended badly.
