- [Man] Hit the brake pedal.
- This one?
- [Man] Yep.
(laughter)
That door just shuts.
- What?
(piano music)
- Good morning it's 12:28, we just woke up.
That was a crazy day Lincoln.
I never seen you sleep in so long.
Now we have to go seven hours
probably seven or eight hours
to get to southern Utah for the night.
We would be a little faster, but we drove the Tesla
so it's gonna be a little tricky.
We don't know what elevator it's gonna be,
I say this one, Lincoln says that one.
Let's see, think it's gonna be mine.
(elevator dinging)
- What is this?
- [Man] We've been here for a while now.
- Yeah.
- Noooo!
You're so right.
So the first stop when you have
18 miles left, is the charger station.
It already takes like 40 minutes to an hour
to even charge, so that already puts you behind.
So any other things that slow you down
are not good, well check this out.
We've got Tesla, Tesla, Tesla, Tesla,
charger station's over there, full full full full full.
And we've got like three cars--
How many cars in front of us?
Two or three?
- [Lincoln] Three.
- Some people park their cars here and leave 'em here.
I've seen cars that are here like all day long.
So this could take possibly an hour,
two hours, until we even get a chance to park for an hour.
Talk about a reason for somebody not
getting an electric vehicle.
Oh this guy.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah get outta here.
Get outta here.
Wait there's only one more in front of us.
- [Lincoln] Oh that's nice.
- Yay we counted wrong.
Okay so that guy left.
- [Lincoln] You're happy that I counted wrong.
- This is what it's like to drive a Tesla.
So instead of leaving to go to Las Vegas
at 12:30 or one o'clock in the afternoon
on a Friday, we're now leaving closer
to three and traffic is saying it's going to take
us four hours just to get to Barstow, California
which in a regular, like if we'd have left
a few hours ago, it would probably take I don't know,
an hour and a half, an hour.
And now we're just stuck with--
We're gonna be stuck in traffic for four hours
getting outta here.
And we didn't even get a full charge.
We were here for well over an hour and a half,
well about an hour and a half.
We have 154 miles range right now,
it's about 100 miles to Barstow,
but to get to Barstow it's uphill a lot
and so we may not even get--
We might have to stop and charge somewhere
else on the way there, I don't know.
This is so frustrating.
I'm gonna start a stopwatch right now.
Start, I'm not gonna stop it until we get
to Saint George, Utah.
I would've charged last night, but it was two
in the morning when we got done with that video shoot.
(upbeat music)
I was exhausted and Lincoln was exhausted
and we just didn't have time,
so this is like real world what happens.
Not super happy.
I love the car, but not super happy with this.
(instrumental music)
Okay a couple of reasons why this is one
of my favorite McDonald's here in Primm,
we have this broomstick.
It's a witch's broomstick with a plunger
on the end of it.
(laughter)
Do you see that?
Oh that is funny.
Oh, it oh, okay.
No, no, stop, stop.
Get up there, stop.
- [Lincoln] You're breaking the broomstick.
- It won't stay, it wants to come with me and fly away.
Oh Lincoln's done.
The other reason why I like this McDonald's
is because that they don't have a playground,
I think they replaced it.
But what they replaced it with was quite interesting,
but kinda fits into the Nevada theme.
A pole dancing pony.
That's the only thing in this entire room,
a pole dancing pony.
- [Lincoln] And some pictures of the pole dancing.
- Oh yeah and some pictures of the pole dancing pony,
there we are.
Goodbye pony, we're going to Utah.
Here's the running clock, can you see that?
We can't put it all on having a Tesla
because we chose Friday afternoon to drive
from Las Angeles to Las Vegas which is
the busiest time to go to Las Vegas.
But at the same time, if we didn't have to charge
we would've left at 12:30 right from the hotel
and just taken off if we had a gas car.
And we would've likely missed all of that crazy
madness traffic that took us an extra four hours.
I'm still wearing makeup, I didn't wash the makeup
off my face from yesterday, last night,
which officially was like this morning
at two in the morning when we were doing that
little one second scene for the YouTube Rewind.
Just go, go, go, go.
(upbeat music)
Where are we, first of all, where are we?
- We're in Las Vegas at the--
- Las Vegas, we found the coolest Teslas
we've seen so far.
Look at these guys.
- [Lincoln] Orange.
- [Dad] They're orange, so we got this one, Model X.
Fully pimped out.
Look at the calipers on it, they're blue.
That is sick, carbon fiber spoiler on the end of it.
Is this your, both these yours?
- [Group Of People] Yeah.
- [Dad] Is it okay I film it for YouTube?
- [Man] Oh yeah that's awesome.
- [Dad] Awesome okay so check this out.
Unplugged Performance, that's these guys.
Oh you have the doors.
That is so cool.
I love this.
Look at the seats, look how like they're silver
and chrome, carbon fiber all along this.
Okay is that normal carbon fiber or did
you guys do that?
- Everything's custom on it.
- [Dad] Everything, so the carbon fiber,
the metal up under the seats.
- We like supercars,
we wanted to make this more of like a McLaren
or a Lamborgini, to give it a feeling
of a carbon fiber car.
So some of these pieces are really hard to make,
but all the trim all around the falcon doors,
the seat backs, the seat sides,
and anything that was plastic is now carbon fiber.
All the way to the front, even into the trunk
there's carbon fiber throughout.
- [Dad] Get ready.
Buy buddy.
Oh man.
- [Man] It's diamond stitch white and blue.
- [Dad] Oh that's so cool.
- [Man] Kind of just all the finishes are different inside.
So everything is all katara
which is a standard material that you
get on like a Lamborghini or an Audi.
We just changed all the material out.
- New dream car, let's put it on the bucket list.
So Ben from Unplugged Performance was telling me
that this is new like this is fresh.
By the time you guys see this video
it's been out there in the press
'cause I guess they're going and doing
a photo shoot tomorrow with what magazine is it?
- [Ben] Automobile Magazine.
- Automobile Magazine out in the desert with this
so it'll be out there, but we're getting like
the first look of this thing.
We feel so special.
It's what we get for coming to this strangest place
of a Tesla charging station.
- It's like out of--
It's not even in like Las Vegas,
like it doesn't feel like we're in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is over there.
- Most of the charging stations,
it's like right off the freeway.
This one we had to drive for a while
like off the road.
And it's in this parking garage.
- Usually it's a nice outlet mall
or a shopping place, this is some random apartment complex.
- [Dad] Yeah this is strange.
Hit the brake pedal.
- This one?
- [Dad] Yep.
That door just shuts.
- What?
- [Dad] Lincoln don't drive this car.
Don't crash this into the wall.
- [Ben] So this piece is new, so it kinda brings
the trunk line out.
And this whole rear bumper underside
is all custom done.
- [Dad] Is it lower right now than usual?
- Yeah we lowered it as well.
You know we've changed the suspension,
we changed the front brakes.
They're kinda what you get on like a Ferrari,
the door handles are carbon fiber as well.
(laughter)
We've done a lot.
So the reason for the brakes being carbon ceramic
is not because we need necessarily that much braking power,
it's because it takes about 15 pounds out of the car,
the reason the wheels are changed is the wheels
are 10 pounds lighter per corner.
So you have 40 pounds of savings in the wheels.
Another 15 or 20 or so on the brakes.
And those things add up.
Ultimately any kinda car no matter if it's
a Ferrari or a Tesla,
the lighter the car is the better it does every year.
So that's the idea.
- Okay so here's a question.
- Yeah.
- How much would it cost to get all this
done on a Tesla?
- Well the interior is a ton of custom work,
we're not really offering that unless someone
wants to spend a lot of money.
The interior's probably 30 or 40,000 dollars on itself.
- Wow.
- The exterior is about $10,000.
The wheels are about $8,000.
The brakes are about $8,000.
The suspension's $500 or so.
Well this car from the factory was 155.
- [Dad] 135?
- 155.
- 155 fully loaded, okay.
- So it'll be over two.
- Wow.
See we got our car, it's nice we like it,
it's a few years old.
But we're so cheap that we bought
it used for $60,000.
So that's a pretty good deal.
- And that's smart.
People are always trading up their cars,
we get customers that are on their third
or fourth model, Tesla keeps making
new options, used car market's not a bad place to be.
- If you look at both of them,
this one looks so much more sporty than our car.
- [Dad] Okay let's see, let's see which one's more sporty.
Just a little bit, ours looks like you're
going to Walmart, we go grocery shopping,
and this one looks like you're going
to the Nascar race.
And the body, look how low it is on the side.
Then you look at ours.
It's like we're gonna go in the snow or something.
- I am the force.
- Look at that.
That was so cool.
I'm so glad that we went there and met those guys.
Ahh, so they have a pretty sweet setup in Las Vega--
In Los Angeles and they invited us to come
out some time, so we're totally gonna hit 'em up on that.
Man that made the--
What time is it?
12:03 which is 1:03 back home.
That made it worth it right there
just to see those orange Teslas of my dreams.
(upbeat music)
we made it Saint George, it is 2:46 AM.
11 hours, 17 minutes, 18 seconds.
That kept running while we stopped
to charge and everything.
That's the true time of the drive.
Let's go to bed dude.
- [Lincoln] Yes please.
- Good night everybody, hope you enjoyed this video.
I don't know what it's gonna turn out
to look like, but there's a road trip for ya.
(upbeat music)
