Tell Rex to put his shoes in the frunk. That way the rest of his car won’t smell like “tacos”

I've always wanted a Hillbilly Edition Tesla

There needs to be a whole bunch of Electrified Garages to service these out-of-warranty Tesla cars. Saving a battery pack is a game changer, plus all the recommended maintenance is good information. The garage certainly knows what the weak points are and what to check.

As a Tesla driver, thank you Tavarish for warning people to not misuse a level 2 driver assistance.

17k for a facelifted Model S with AP 2.0 hardware is amazing deal! I has 2015 with AP1 hardware for 40K in 2018 with Certified Pre-owned warranty from Tesla, but I didn't have newest AP hardware or newer processor. It was fun to drive and had free supercharging, but only 220 miles of range if I was lucky. Took it all around the state and country for free and sold it two years later to dealership for the same price as I bought it for because they didn't check Autocheck where it showed minor accident before I bought it! 🤷🏽‍♂️ Sold it because it was fun for a while but then it actually got boring to drive. Plus I didn't feel like paying Tesla tax for parts and when a door handle is $1000 to replace, you know there was about to be some pricey repairs once it was out of warranty

That title though. You could've said " 17k Tesla deal" or "Best Tesla Deal Ever" but I get it...

I love seeing Freddie in the U.K. with Mat Armstrong. They are both nice people and Freddie has been embraced by Mat’s family. There’s still a lot of love out there guys. 🙏❤️

That's the nicest, cleanest, road ready car that has appeared on your channel...looks great and the price is great!

Rex looks like an amazing guy. Happy for him. Great deal 😁

I appreciate your comment about the auto pilot not being full self-driving. That is NOT what the system does! 😂

Paying $20k for a new battery at Telsa is akin to taking your 10 year old Mustang back to the Ford dealer to install a factory crate motor. Doesn't happen.

Rex should keep his shoes in the frunk. Keep the foot odor out of the cabin...lol

I was curious so I got onto autotempest and looked up prices, nationwide, on a 2016 90D with a maximum 55,000 mi. The lowest price I found was $25,500. So yeah he got a GREAT deal

Strange comment about regen braking eating up the tires. Regen braking is just braking by another name, it doesn't eat up the tires any more than normal braking would.

Great Deal - Happy for Rex ! I have a 2013 p85 that still drives perfectly. It is fun as a daily driver, but also allows me to appreciate my CLS 55 on weekends when I want to appreciate the sound & feel of v8 and not waste gas $ on commutes

Man, for 17k he made out like a bandit and got a bag o chips…also an ice cream sandwich after Already “tuned”, low mileage, been taken care of, knew the previous owner, upgraded audio, still has good life on the tires(saw it on the inspection part of the video), no mechanical repairs needed yet, no noticeable paint or body damage, still has usable battery… Jeez, is there anything else he didn’t come out golden on? Amazing find Rex, good luck to both of ya! Now we just need to see a race between it and the 675…lol Since tacaros won’t sell or trade it, at least see who’s faster…bring in the views right?

Rex is an awesome dude! It's great to see him get a deal and help him save a couple bucks in gas here and there.

Well, we got good deal to for tesla Model S85 , mileage 145k,but battery has only 20k, full FSD option and it has free supercharging. Only 19k, no taxes , no gas...just drive.

Less than halfway in and already clicking the 'Like' button. Since I am considering picking up a used one, I really appreciate having the mechanic give us this 'show & tell'.

Nice one Rex. Great choice and specs. Also the multicoat red is awesome and you did a superb job bringing it back to showroom condition 💪⚡️

Hillbilly Edition had me rolling 💀

My 2013 model S has 177,000 miles on the original battery. All my doorhandles have been replaced. They only cost $300 apiece now. I’m still on the original brake pads with 40% pad life left. Don’t let people who never own Teslas tell you different. They are very reliable and cheap to own.

In regards to Tesla Autopilot. From the article this morning. "The NHTSA has just concluded a nearly three-year-long investigation into crashes involving cars fitted with Autopilot. The agency said there had been at least 13 Tesla crashes, involving at least one death, and many more involving serious injuries, in which "foreseeable driver misuse of the system played an apparent role."

Great video! Shows some realities when making a decision to buy this type of car.

My Dad got his model S for $17k too. Funny enough, he sold his Mitsu Evo MR and got the Tesla. I miss that Evo 💔

23:50 “somebody took care of this thing.” “That’s about to change.” LMAO

These model S are great. I got a 2015 P85D (691hp, dual motor) with 80k on the clock for $15! Fully loaded. The best part, the FREE CHARGING. It's the perfect road trip car! No 360 cams, but 0-60 in 3.1 makes me forget about that. It's cartoonish-ly fast- I've gotten people nauseous from stop lights.... lol

Front ball joints have always been a problem for many tesla owners, including myself. The joints make a weird creaking noise when you are trying to maneuver in slow speed/making. U turns/ getting out of a parking. The only ‘fix’ I found was injecting grease in the joints but that’s definitely a temporary solution. Was wondering what else wears out on Teslas.

Awesome detailing. Nice work on the paint

The first autopilot was used in 1912 and is not defined as fully autonomous... Side note: are human drivers fully autonomous if they make errors while driving?😒

Nice to see Electrify garage being so visible lately. Also, after the mention of MS Dos, where is the PC upgrade? Been years since your colab build!

Rex got a pretty great steal of a deal. That car is clean and not many miles.

Congrats Rex on the Tesla, I actually bought the same exact one with same color just a performance 90D and I love it!

“I don’t know how to modify electric cars”…while build hybrid P1!!! Now we know why battery was removed!! LOL! Thanks for the great vids!!! Love your channels!!!

“UGLY TRUTH” Clickbait much? 😏

Loving the P1 build bro❤

Fredy keep it up super fun and instructive video!!! greetings from Croatia

Great buy, Rex! Hope it continues to treat you well and give you many trouble-free miles!

The Japanese auto pilot was called a Kamikaze..

There was a 2023 Model 3 in my city for $8000. No accidents. Its was used as an Uber with 6 drivers. It had 170,000 miles in one year. Now asking price $8000

Congratulations Rex, wishing you lots of miles with smiles 👍🍀🧿

Excellent video very informative as always am in florida for christmas any chance of a shop tour keep up the amazing work

I was kind of waiting to see what the battery life was like when buddy was in the diagnostics..nice to see someone get a good deal for a change instead of getting ripped off.

The Audiocontrol LC7i is a 6 channel speaker line converter for going from regular speaker wires to RCA's to run to amps, I have the 2 channel version in my civic.

Just got a 2016 model X 75d with 7 seats today for $24,900. The thing that sold me was that it still has free supercharging for the life of the vehicle.

I have a 2017 Model S 90D with 114k miles and still runs great.

Wait, wait. Tavarish is paying Rex with money? How else could he afford the Tesla? Actually very interesting and informative upload. Thank you.

That color and those wheels are a good look. Congrats Rex.

also… when the guy says regen wears your tires out… what do you think pressing the brakes does? Do brakes work without using the tires? Unsure how the vehicle is stopping if that’s the case… Regen doesn’t wear the tires out any more than braking does. Do you know what braking wears out that regen doesn’t? Brakes…

I doubt the tires care if the breking is done by the motors with regen or by the brakes

12:16 -- I'm curious how exactly regen braking "beats up the tires a lot" ? Sounds like bull to me... deceleration is deceleration whether from regen braking, hydraulic brakes, or compression braking (e.g., letting off the gas/downshifting in an ICE car).

Autopilot isn't perfect, I know from experience. It's great when it works, but a car is meant to be driven...that's the fun part of it.

So appreciate you putting yourself out there as a fellow man with moobs!

Rich had promised a NC EGarage here in NC and it never happened. As a side, I found a Tesla S performance with 55K miles for $17.5K. So, they are out there.

I swear bro those yitties we’re lookin at me first 💀💀

I love how Rex doesn’t realise how wide the camera capture is and he keeps leaning in thinking he’s cut out of the shot 😂

The older model S's like that one only have a version 2 processor and don't support so-called "Full Self Driving". They have "Autopilot" instead, which is meant for highway adaptive cruise plus lane keeping. It's NOT for driving around on surface streets, even though you can sort of do that.

The Hillbilly edition.. Only made 5 with the other 4 on cinderblocks in someone's front yard. One is being raised with a 16" lifters. Note, that vehicle is being fixed with a gunmount on the rear window.

Per capita i think norway has the highest number of Teslas in the world. Those sliding handles work very well in the winter...

Nothing like having a whole conversation under a Tesla 😂

You already know Tavarish made a deal with him to get some of the revenue for this video to pay off some of the car, he just seems like that type of boss that's cool af👍👍👍

nd that drip every so often around the 15 min marks is hurting my soul XD

Need to do video with Freddy driving somewhere using autopilot. Would be hilarious and totally freak him out!

Just ordered a new model 3 performance. I'm interested because it helps me understand the potential weaknesses & things to watch out for. Of course they've made significant changes since then, but still. Also, I'll be taking a trip to EG once it has a few miles on it. I like that they will break down for you the issues. Black box service is not what I want.

Can't find anything close in germany sadly. Cheapest Model S from 2016 with less than 100k kilometers is 26k euros.

Honestly it probably is a pretty good deal for the price and mileage. A 2016 Model Year S should also include free unlimited supercharging for life (if sold by a private party, I’ve read Tesla dealers will remove that perk before resale from the Tesla dealer). Battery is likely outside of the 8yr warranty now.

Great video on Model S as a sort of buyers guide. I hadn’t really considered one of these, I may now.

Congrats on the "new" car. Theres nothing better than the first couple of months in a new car. Especially after finding out all of the upgrades that had been added. Thats a steal of a car!

I hope the autopilot thing was a joke. Even Tesla says autopilot is a driver assist feature and the driver must remain in control.

@12:20 - Regenerative braking wears tires. As opposed to what, regular braking, really how???

Bro so much Tavarish lately plus Jacks new show. Life is sweet.

Wow! NIce find! Great review Tavarish! Rex seems like a cool dude.

Freddy is my number 1 watch regardless, his energy and content are just purely amazing! and the amount of people he helps is truly inspiring. are you coming back to the uk anytime soon?

Due to Hertz over flooding the ev used car market, every ev car value has depreciated drastically!

Not sure how regenerative braking is any worse for the tires than regular braking

As a dabbler in mostly older cars, Teslas are still an enigma to me. This provided great insight into some of the details of these "cheap" used Teslas that are coming to market.

I have a model S, and love auto pilot. Clermont to Orlando airport every day without any issues. Yes at first I was doubting it but now, I find it to be more alert then me lol love it.

Rex Bro 😂😂!! Light up wheel caps, a sub, and future under glow lights 🤣. Doit!! The Etrons have the same issue with jack points so you can remove the battery. Being so heavy they tend to kill brushings quickly too along with interesting tire wear 🤷🏾‍♂️. Same deal with the brakes too

Wow, this is actually good consumer advice. Nice video❤

Making me have a throwback going to watch that exact ludacris music video 😂

I've never seen Tavarish be so harsh about someone else's car

12:18 the second time ive heard this argument, regen braking is bad for the tires. Lol, braking is braking. Maybe it effects a little because of the rate of deceleration as opposed to cruising to a stop, but tires wear based on the driver mostly

Very cool to see you guys Get Chris on here! I've always wanted to hold a conversation with him as I work at the Tampa Location. Funny to hear him say a lot of the exact same things that i'd tell customer's when I was a mobile tech.

Congrats Rex on your 90D! I have a 2015 90D, which is essentially identical except for the front bumper design, and have driven almost 65K miles on it. It's been incredibly reliable including 2 3,000 mile trips across country. I also owned Lexus for 10 years prior to my Tesla, so the benchmark was already high. Let me know if you have any questions.

I like how Freddy is worried about his friend using the "self driving tech". Good call!

Freddy you’ve been to the uk quite a few times. Have you tried to explain how much fuel costs in the uk compared to the states. We pay $10 dollars a gallon.

Incredible deal. Super envious but also happy for ya. Hope to fall on one like that sometime possibly because dang I want one.

Get those rear bushes changed and get those shoes out of the boot! I am happy for Rex. He deserves the love. ENJOY MY FRIEND!

Another Tesla driver here, and I also want to thank Tavarish for advising people to not be inattentive while using any of Tesla's driver assist modes. There used to be 3 driver assist modes. Autopilot the basic mode which comes with every Tesla as a standard option is adaptive cruise control while also maintaining travel in your current lane of travel with autosteer--it really is amazing, and designed for use on highways only. Highway only as it will not stop for stop signs or traffic light controls. It also will not change lanes on its own, or obey a command by the driver using the turn signal to indicate what the driver wants the car to do. But once you pick a lane, and turn on Autopilot it is a beautiful thing, albeit the most limited mode--but totally free! They had an enhanced mode that did change lanes and did obey traffic controls, but wouldn't get you from point A to point B using navigation. It would just drive down the road you were on. Enhanced seems have been eliminated. Not providing enough added benefit for the cost, considering how good FSD is today, which is now available as a $99 monthly subscription. Enhanced is still around, on older vehicles where it was purchased outright, but doesn't seem to be an option for new purchases. Then there is the Supervised full self driving option. With hands on the wheel and staying attentive the car will take you anywhere you want to go, on pretty much any road. It still has some issues, like going faster than you want and going slower than you want. It can get stumped on how to get our of a parking lot, or whether a bus lane is really a travel lane, but that's where the human driver plays a pivotal role. FSD let's you relax in say bumper to bumper traffic, or moving out of the fast lane when a faster driver comes up behind you, or moving to passing lane when the car in front of you is going to slow. It will get you in the correct lane to exit, it will navigate city streets, avoid most obstacles, yield to pedestrians and anything else a driver should be doing. But sometimes it makes mistakes, misinterprets just like humans, and that's where the attentive driver overrides the system. Sometimes it is as simple as just pressing the accelerator pedal a little bit because the car is being too cautious and has slowed down too much, sometimes you need to take over an steer the car into or out of the lane it has chosen, or maybe it is taking the turn to tight and will scrape the curve. But overall, it is a excellent copilot, many times seeing things before you do, like pedestrians dressed in black against a background of a black lamp post just before they step on to the crowsswalk. FSD is good, most human drivers are okay to good, together FSD and the human driver are better. But you cannot and should not start using your phone, watching a video, or do any other activity that will result in you being inattentive. You are responsible ultimately, FSD is simply an assistive mode, like the cruise control we have used for years, it does not relieve you of your responsibility as a driver.

Congrats Rex 👏

A Tesla does NOT have an autopilot, it has driver assistance. There is a very big difference. Just because your 8yo kid is capable of driving, does that mean you are going to have them drive you around?

It’s insanity how much of an upgrade the new ones are… even this dude talking about the suspension… i went in to test drive the model 3 2024/25… the suspension is literally like floating above the road…. Its amazing

That Tesla for $17 grand with less than 60k miles is a really good deal

I havent seen this channel in about a year or so… but them jugs got bigger. or shirt got tighter😊

The reason the steering felt heavy is that you are using SPORT mode for the steering. Change it to COMFORT and it will be much easier and lighter but still give reasonable feedback. I have had the earlier P85D for 7 years and love it so I have had the time to try a lot of the settings.

Best color. All Teslas look better in red. Old style Teslas look great with the silver trim too. I love the hatch area compared to a model 3’s trunk. The frunk is cavernous too. I love hearing the mechanic talk about how the floor pan and suspension is engineered.

I actually love the "Underglow to indicate self-driving is active" idea!!

Am from edmonton origin of mauritius well watching ur video feel greats as me also like cars hope one can visit ur garage stay bless continue to progress making

The LC7i is a sophisticated line level converter which will take speaker level from the original Tesla system and feed it to aftermarket amplifiers that you'll likely find hidden behind some of the boot panels. I'm guessing they will feed upgraded door speakers too.

😂😂 Rex is hilarious. His sarcasm is on point
