I've heard that Aston Martin V12 Vantage is a great learners car, you should look into that.

For those wanting the tesla part TLDW: 10:28

Finally, a trustworthy "one careful driver" claim.

Did I just watch a 10 minute dashcam advert? I’m gutted.

The likely reason for the colour difference in the camera is the interior camera won’t have an IR filter , so it’s recording a wider frequency of the light spectrum.

I loved how you had a folder of apps on the second page of your phone called 'Shite' 😂

Don't think I will get an electric car anytime soon, partly because I like the whole process of driving a manual, partly because where I live wouldn't be suitable as parking on my road is the opposite side to my house, and also they are quite expensive at the moment. So for those reasons, the best I can offer you is 50 quid and a packet of space raiders for the tesla.

I love how in your phone you've got an album named "shite" 🤣🤣

Very sensible approach on pricing your Tesla - some people get hung up about values when they come to sell and are a bit unrealistic. Tesla's price cuts are a pain for existing owners, but seems a sound business strategy - they have enough margin to drop prices and still make a decent return. It's more important for them to keep volumes up and keep their factories running at optimum capacity. I traded my 2 year old Evoque before Christmas - the trade price went UP by £1k after I sold it, but I would also have had to pay another £1k for my MG4 if I'd bought this side of Christmas..........

Nice to see an in-depth review which shows the app as well as the camera. Can't believe I just sat through a 20 minute advert though! 😳 :😀

Actually, one person owning multiple cars would reduce the number of cars on the road, because one person can only drive one car at once. So someone like Jay Leno is reducing traffic congestion, by having a huge collection.

One thing I would add is that Viofo cams have an optional bluetooth capture button which can be sited in a convenient place to save clips rather than trying to find the button the camera and taking your eyes off the road. 🤓

Purple jumper is likely due to the camera picking up infra-red light. I guess the internal camera has a night mode with IR LEDs. A lot of black clothing will reflect IR light so shows up as grey or white on IR images.

I would suggest having date-stamp on. Proves what time/date incidents happen

That fact the Tesla price dipped because of Elons politics show how inflated Tesla's prices are. If the CEO of Ford was seen kicking a puppy, I doubt the secondhand prices of Fords would change.

Footage from the new dashcam looks awesome!

Got the feeling less people travelling about and commuting after COVID and more working from home especially on their Amazon Prime deliveries.

And I expected you to say that you were dumping the car because having to take your eyes off the road to look across at the touchscreen to control so many things , so often , was dangerous

Ashley Neal becomes a KZfaq used car salesman... 😁

Gave up on new cars when I bought one nine months old with 9,000 miles for 40% off list price with full 12 month manufacturers warranty from Peugeot dealer.

I hear that Scimitar CVRT light reconnaissance tanks are road legal. Only 550ish litres to fill up, no tax or MOT required. Maybe you could try that for your lessons?🤷🏻‍♂️

Skip the first 10 minutes to get to the Tesla details.

Don't think many people are buying EVs at 40/50k to sit on the path.. but then not many people gonna be buying them now that all the companies, and wealthy have got one..

It looks like the 4K option you selected is mislabelled. The additional FPS is at the cost of resolution as its listed at 1600p, rather than 2160p which is actually 4K.

Your point about getting excess vehicles off the road is an important one. I’ve been a remote worker since the pandemic and my wife works in a nearby office 2 days a week, so we got rid of our second car. I think a lot of people could do the same with a bit of thought.

Also to note is that video evidence in colour is great for court where B&W can be an issue if you ever find yourself in those places. Best to be able to identify everything as accurately as possible

Looks like at 30fps its not actually 4k (2160p) but 1600p which is closer to 3k. As you said though probably better to have the higher framerate.

Not trying to be too critical but wouldn't it make more sense to get a regular car like a Ford focus C4 Picasso etc etc? A car that people who have just learned to drive could actually buy? Seems odd learning in a car with all these gadgets to assist you then passing and getting a 05 plate Corsa with no gadgets to help you .. I feel like that would cause issues ... I learnt in a Ford fiesta that had hill start assist and I was advised to use it... I then passed and bought an old Peugeot 206 , needless to say I was crap at holding it on hills because I never had to in the other car

Nice Oris Aquis with the green dial - a good upgrade from the Raymond Weil Tango Diver!

Would love to!! Just uhh... Need to find a spare £36000 😅

Typical current Tesla owner: more money than sense. Typical former Tesla owner: less money than sense.

New Dash cam brill. Able to read licence plates easily .

But Ash… I already have a Tesla. Model 3 LR. Brilliant fun to drive. Bet you’ve sold yours already too. You’ll miss it!!

Glad you've finally seen sense. The photos and stories of them at service stations around Christmas time said enough for me to want one even less.

Not sure I'm ready to give up my petrol car and definitely not my manual gear box, I'll stick with BMW 🤣🤣

Will have to speak to my brother. He's just recently switched jobs, and is trying to load all his stock onto Tesla. Hope he's got enough cash floating around, as I know he's after a Model 3, since his Kia Ceed (First one registered in the UK) is getting somewhat old now. He lives in the north west of England.

"the quality isn't brilliant" (teslacam images) understatement of the year

I don't think any newer driver could afford the insurance on a Tesla. Even as an experienced driver with 6 years NCD, I get quoted £1500 on M3 SR+

Good timing with the Viofo ad in the Driving Fail January video and this review video which I'll have to watch too as I need to buy some new dashcams for my next car coming soon after 3 years of not really driving. Previously had a Viofo A119 for the last 6 months or so before my last car was written off in a rear end while I was passenger, but only had it on the front. Definitely getting front and rear coverage this time. (just copied this comment from the driving fail one with a slight edit, but will make another if it's appropriate)

Can't help but look at your watch. An _Oris Aquis Date_ on the bracelet. Can't tell if it's the newish 400 calibre or an older one, but very nice none-the-less. Looks smart.

Really love the view from 360° cameras

half the video is selling a camera ? thats not a paid promotion,its a video on selling a camera.

Funny that you’re now sticking with the Golf because I’ve just sold mine. It’s been nothing but problems since I bought it and I’ve finally had enough so I’ve part ex’d it for a Kona N. I don’t think you’d have happily done a part ex on another problem mk8 so I think it works for both of us that a dealer can deal with it.

Amazingly sharp video from the A139 Pro. My 2CH version front and rear) arrives tomorrow! Do you still suggest 1600p front for 2 cameras?

When I pause this vid the number plates on cars whizzing by are pretty clear.

That is a lovely car Ashley. If I had the money I would buy it. It would be ideal for me as I work in the community for the NHS. I am going to save up and get a Vifio camera due to the mileage and town driving I do.

I've waited more than 5 months and now what's worse is being told you're still not ready to take it! I've had like almost 100 hours now and three mock tests where I've made one serious error and a few minors in each so that's not awful but my instructor still feels I'm not quite there yet 😑😒😔. Basically he feels like I'm not like the average learner, where usually you'll be able to pinpoint where the weaknesses are. For me the main issue is focus and my mistakes are slightly more random. He did say he can't really teach me anything new at this point because he feels I know what to do: I have all the skills to drive and have all the potential, very good car control etc but can't maintain the level for long enough due to lack of concentration. Like I'll drive really well for 30 mins and then make a mistake, dwell on it, lose focus then make another error and so on. Then my negative thoughts remind me how useless I am for taking this long. I'm almost 40 so age doesn't help but after this many hours I should be there. It is really demoralising. I've had three instructors with some bad experiences with the previous two, some big gaps in between like a month with no driving. I feel very inadequate and worthless as a human being. I've never been that confident in myself so this isn't helping. I feel like there has to be something really wrong with me to fail like this. I'm already a failure in life, unfulfilling admin job, haven't had a relationship in many years. I wish I was never born. Hate what I've become. Anyway regardless, Monday I'll have a final mock test and then decide if I need to delay the test which will be difficult to accept after so many hours and lessons and money. I just want to give it a shot but apparently, if an instructor puts forward a pupil for their test when they're not ready, it can reflect badly on the instructor. Is that right?

Free delivery on orders over 36k, nice 👌

Seems logical your reasons especially the work side of things. I learned in a manual but have only driven an automatic hybrid (Yaris) and my Zoe EV since passing and I'll be frank I think it's a shame us here in the UK are so stubbornly set in our manual driving ways, and continue to push learning manual and buying manual so hard. The rest of the world caught on to the practicality of automatics years ago, and modern autos are excellent cars. Plus we'll be going the way of EVs eventually so no gears there either. I really feel that driving auto is easier (even if you find manual a breeze, auto is less stuff to be doing, can't argue with this) and therefore safer IMO especially for new and learner drivers. SO many people I know are not confident drivers at all, but they don't use an auto car because it's not the norm. If nobody had to use any part of their brain switching gears at roundabouts etc they could be using more of their brain to check for hazards. If we truly want cars to be safer, we should be removing pointless tasks like changing gears.

On the bright side at least they can't run off with your hub caps in Liverpool any more.

At last I found out! It's an Oris Aquis!

13:01 Fair play, too few people think in these terms. The more we get used to being a bit more responsible with our ecological footprint the easier that gets.

The model 3 is due a refresh in the near future (codename "highlander", there's prototypes with covers over the altered sections in the US) so now is the best time to sell in my opinion.

Shame you didn't sell back in November, prices have cooled a lot recently.

Personally I can’t see any difference…because the best I can stream is 1080p/60-my internet is too slow for 4K streaming. Just buffering the whole time. I don’t know many people with electric cars. One couple bought a new Ford Mach e….got rid after 1 year and replaced with a petrol car. they said the only reason was range…or the lack of….just never got near the claimed range. For 36k, the new Nissan leaf is an option (new) as well.

4K overheating in dashcams is a real pain. I bought "TrueCam M11 GPS 4K" last year and even in mild summer temperatures it overheats all the time (it uses H.265 codec for 4K and the chip is working really hard). I even glued some passive heatsinks all around the camera body, but it didn't help much. I had to change the resolution to normal FullHD (and older H.264 codec) and that works with no problem, but obviously I wanted 4K and this is not a solution... So if anyone has a tip on 4K dashcam that doesn't overheat easily, please let me know. (Or I will at least wait till summer to see how this A139 Pro fares :)).

13:02: Brand new Kia behind Ashley. Last week it was announced that the UK made fewer cars than it has done in over 60 years. That means we made more cars during the strikes and unrest of the 1970's and 1980's, the Dagenham Ford strikes, the recessions of the 1970's & 1980's, the recession of 1991, the awful financial crash and terrible recession of 2009 - and unbelievably, we even made more cars during lockdown of the Chinese virus where the Uk economy shrank by 14% (the worst in 300 years). The reason we are now making fewer cars than we have done in 60 years is because there are more and more brand new Kias & Hyundais on our roads. You will see very few cars made in the UK. If the people of Britain want to make the future of our country's manufacturing and economy good, they need to stop buying Korean cars now.

That's good. You are helping alleviate the crime of child slavery in lithium and cobalt mines, and getting rid of a Betamax product! 😉

9K loss in 6/8 months that's a lot of driving lessons !

My offer is $5. Take it or leave it.

VAT qualifying? I can see that would apply on the "tool of the trade" that you use for teaching, which are *exclusivly* used for business use. But if you've done a trip the supermarket in the Tesla, that is private use, so it is no longer exclusive business use, which means it would not be VAT qualifiying. My Ltd bought my Tesla, which is my company car, which is also used for personal use, so I couldn't claim the VAT back, and when I sell it, I'm not sure how the accountant will do the VAT on it. Same for the Soul EV that the other half drives. But if I get a VAN or a pickup for another member of staff, that would be VAT qualifying. but there aren't any nice dual/king cab electric VANs at the moment.

If I didn't have a labrador to fit in the boot, I would have been interested in your M3. Makes sense though.

I bought my 2015 Fiat 500L outright for £6,498 in June 2021

Running to the rear is a pita, reckon the cable is long enough for a bus.

Logical decision re Tesla, and lovely camera quality- looking to replace mine in the BEV Renault Zoe.

I love my e2008, could do with a little more mileage so just need to plan my longer journeys particularly coming up to Manchester. Good price by the way, I’d have gone for that a year ago!

With regard to dashcams, do you have any stats on how well different brands of dashcam (or at least the SD cards inside) survive severe car accidents? (Say sufficiently bad that the car was written off.) A dashcam may have all the bells and whistles but if the SD card is unreadable after a big crash - and thus provide evidence - then the dashcam has failed.

I'm noticing window reflection, try turning the polarization filter to remove the reflections...

Would love a Tesla like this, although at the moment, I need a 7 seater for logistical reasons with my autistic son. What you are asking is not much more than my 4 year old RX-L is currently worth so ordinarily I would jump at the chance, but until some electric car comes along with 7 spacious seats (that I can afford!) I have to stick with what I have got. I am looking at the cameras though 🙂

I think my computer or TV monitor can't keep up because the image doesn't change beyond 1080p

How about adding a few hours driving instruction for the successful purchaser??

5:52 - I left the G-Sensor setting as is on my A119 and it did automatically store the files in a locked folder when my car was rear ended before which was nice. Thought it didn't record for a moment though when I was looking in the usual place! How come you turned the date stamp off?

Elon is too busy with Twitter to focus on Tesla. Wow, they are pricey! I could get my car 18 times over for that! In fairness, EV's are designed for local/short journeys whereas the Passat is designed for eating miles. Gotta say tho, I think with EV's it is a case of "Can I afford a tesla or do I need to look into others" as it is very much the defacto quality EV

*All* EV's are in freefall atm... Nothing to do with Elon Musk's recent escapades. its more to do with the car market slowing down, the energy crisis (specifically volatility of electricity prices), recession and all the realities of EV ownership are surfacing. And for Tesla specifically I believe their new cars have come down in value which effects the used market.

I will buy it off you, only one issue though, I can only afford £3,000 😁

I'm pleased to hear that you've found EV ownership to be a good experience. Slightly disappointed that you are selling perhaps, but i completely understand the reasons to sell. Over here in Norway a lot of instructors have moved over to EVs, but it's going to be a few years before the UK makes that change i think.

what side of your windscreen have you mounted the a139, is it on the drivers side?

You have only just got it.

Skip to 10:30 to watch why he is selling his Tesla

I've had 3 dashcams and the Viofo has by far been the best. I currently use a Nextbase 522GW and it is a very good camera, but trying to link up to my phone is a bit of a mare. I use the Viofo in my other car and linking up to my phone is just so easy. The quality both in day time and night time is easily as good as the Nextbase, perhaps slightly better. I'll be changing my dashcam soon in the school car and it will be the Viofo. (Keep that discount link going for a while longer please!!)

minor thing Ash with the Wi-Fi 5Ghz Connection it mentioned, its different from Wireless Mobile Phone Networking known as 5G. in terms of your Home Internet, your Router is likely to use the 2.4 and 5Ghz Frequencies in a wireless capacity to ensure wireless devices maintain a mostly stable connection to the Internet and have a faster data transfer speed, such as a Smart Telly or a Games console, 5G is a generational thing with Cellular Communication (Our Mobile Phones when out and about), its basically the 5th Generation of technology relating to Mobile Phones and in terms of actual Radio Frequency, they don't have anything to do with each other, 5Ghz is wireless connectivity spectrum for private use in the home, 5G is much higher power in terms of Frequency, i think in the region of 30 Ghz to ensure the wider public using Mobile Phones as well as some industrial requirements have connectivity as well as faster Data Transfer speeds compared to 4G

Tesla should put a promotion on free wind farm with every car.

Whats your reservations going auto only on the instructor side? Ive been auto only for a couple of years now. More and more prefering to learn in an auto and only going manual because they cant find an auto instructor. ( based in morecambe/lancaster )

I have the Viofo A129 Pro Duo which has 4K front and 1080p rear. I am very pleased with it and the 4K does help with number plate reading. Watching this video, it looks like the A139 has a wider viewing angle than the A129. Can you confirm that is the case or maybe you have a wider windscreen than me?

Good luck

That would've been pretty bad if it hadn't gone right, viofo install, but looked cool as, for VIOFO 👌 - Ashley's selling that bigtime as it looks very good, especially after this..

well its something we’ll all do again in the future (by 2030). Wonder if there will be a market at some point for EV learners? Mostly just automatic though I guess?

Attended a fire marshall update in my workplace and the senior trainer from the brigade was very against lithium in any vehicle and I must say after hearing and seeing some examples I won't be putting any of my family in an EV or near a charging vehicle. Is this what's on your mind underneath this?

id love a tesla as it seems like a decent car but for me it would be too much to insure and other stuff for me.

5G is NOT a wifi connection it is mobile data which may cost you on your mobile subscription. If you mean 5Ghz wifi i.e. 802.11.a*** then that is different - it is needed to be accurate

Get a 100 year season ticket to Accrington Stanley

Tesla: MDF on wheels!

Elon didn't crash the car market. All EVs have plummeted due to much higher electric costs, while Tesla slashed prices due to increased supply and a drop in demand generally over the market due to interest rates and inflation. Prices should fall even more, so selling ASAP is a good idea.

Electric vehicles have there place but not as commuting, great for milk delivery tho .

I like the look of the new EV Jeep Avenger which start at £36k but your Tesla is well worth £36k. I have looked into hybrid cars as well. Wouldn’t mind the hybrid equivalent to my current Honda CRV

Yeah sell it saves on valium when using car parks

Ash, will the polarizing filter still give good results at night? Just grabbed the A229 duo myself.

Ash says 'path' instead of 'driveway'

Absolutely amazing, yet you still have to wait 3 and a half hours for your phone to charge, you just couldn't make it up !

I love how everyone has a shite folder in their phone
