- We probably should have
let him have a say in what vehicle he is going to choose or
pick out. But when I did ask him, he just said,
I don't want a truck.
Today is a big day. This is the day that we pick up the car
that Lincoln is going to drive when he turns 16 years old,
which is in a couple of months.
He seriously has no idea which car we're going to get him.
No, it is not an Acura, big, big surprise.
The car that we are going with
is right across the street.
What car do we get? An S a three, an X or a Y or a Roadster.
There are five. Teslas out there right now.
We decided not to do the S because it is super expensive
and I already have one. That is a really expensive car.
We decided not to do the X because he doesn't need an SUV.
And again,
super expensive came down to the model three and the model Y
those are the two options. Now the model three,
I do like that car. It is very nice,
but it is a little bit on the smaller side for just a little
bit more money. You get a car that's higher off the ground
and it also has more room inside and storage for golf clubs
and all those things. So, yes, we went with a Tesla model Y
Okay. Look at this model Y
I think this might be it. This might be the car.
- It is so pretty, I'm so excited for him.
- So here's what we went with.
We have got the blue car
with the matte finish on the handles,
check it out. I mean, that's what comes standard now
it didn't use to come standard.
Everybody always had to pay to get that done,
but even like right here, it is the matte finish.
It is like, you can just see Lincoln cruising in this thing.
- Yes! He is going to be so happy.
I can just makes my eyes water.
I am so happy for him.
- So he doesn't turn 16 for a while,.
do you want to drive this car around instead?
- Has been arranged the mind. So.
- Probably does not as many seats though.
So there's a few things that I've heard about horror
stories.
Yes, we have received a lot of Teslas before,
but there's a few things that you need to look for when you
get the car, you need to look for dense and the transfer.
You need to look for the panel gaps to see if the gaps are
too big.
And you also need to look at the paint to make sure that
they didn't miss any spots or it's splotchy.
They've gotten a lot better,
but you also have to look for those things.
Right there looking pretty good.
Pretty good right there.
Okay. That paint.
Oh, that was not paint.
That was some, some someone's spit.
All right.
So there's one thing on here that they did call us
as we were driving down here to warn us
when you are transporting the vehicles,
sometimes things happen and things go wrong. Well,
with this one, something went wrong.
This right here is dented. Look at that.
It's a pretty massive dent.
It's not supposed to be like that.
It was something in transport. They kind of hit together.
Once they're done with this whole third quarter rush,
where they get the cars and they are delivering
as many as they can.
And we're going to come back in three or four weeks,
and they're probably going to have to replace this entire
back right here.
That is unfortunate to take a car that the big dent in it,
but they will fix it for free we will drive
for another five hours down here
and back home to get it fixed.
They did give us a $100 merge certificate so we can buy some
Tesla merch like a shirt or something, or a hat.
I love how black the windows are. This matte finish.
I went wear with the mat wheels.
I think I paid a little extra for this,
just because I feel like the black on black looks really,
really good. So hopefully Lincoln likes it.
We probably should have let him have a say in what vehicle
he is going to choose or pick out.
But when I did ask him,
he just said, I don't want a truck.
Okay. And I want something that has a good sound system.
That is pretty much the only two things he said.
And then he's like, whatever you want to get me,
you can get me.
So he kind of gave us the chance to give it to him.
That's the model Y, it has a weird key.
So we have this key fob.
This is one of the ways that we get in,
not a key fob, a credit card looking thing,
is you're supposed
to be able to use your app and just walk up to it and get in
it. But it's not registering as my car yet.
So I'm going to use this to get in.
You go like that, I guess.
No.
Hey, first time in the new car.
Oh, that's pretty nice.
Smells good. I thought mine smelled good,
but this one smells really good.
- It is so fancy.
Okay. So we got a long wheel, long range, all wheel drive.
That is the one that we went with.
Range is always better to have more range over better
performance.
You don't need to have the fastest Tesla out there.
I personally think it's a waste of money to do that.
But here we are, 81% battery.
Is it resetting?
Turned off on me.
- It's so pretty.
I just can't believe that he is old enough drive.
That makes me tear up a little bit.
- Let's get outta here because there's like so many cars
everywhere.
Why is it dinging at me?
- Always. I never realize,
Nope, something's wrong.
Does it tell us what's wrong?
Bronc is open and trunk is open.
- No, that's just to open it.
Well, it just dings at me.
We're driving.
Both of our seatbelts are on
and it is dining at us.
- This will drive you crazy. This doesn't drive me crazy.
- Oh, well, yeah.
This will drive any person crazy.
If it doesn't drive you crazy, then you're crazy.
- I can go 10 minutes without being bothered by it.
- Oh my gosh. There's no warning on the screen.
There's nothing.
- We have to go back.
There's nothing happening.
The car has a giant dent in it and it won't stop dinging.
This is not the greatest delivery experience so far.
The people are very nice.
- They are so nice, and we love Teslas, but.
- But come on. How long.
- How could they not notice this,
when we took it around the corner?
- It is just dinging at me.
Sometimes people think that I'm just like negative toward
Tesla on purpose.
I am not being negative. I'm just showing.
I am just showing what's going on.
It's just dinging at me.
I don't, I don't, I didn't deem them.
I didn't dent the back and I'm definitely not making it ding
on purpose.
- Oh, what if we can't take it tonight?
I'm going to get out and get back in and see if that fixed
it.
The key right there.
Maybe you have to put the key right there.
- Way to tell us that though.
- That was it.
- That is stupid.
So the model three and the model Y,
you have this stupid key and in order for you to get it,
to stop dinging at you, you have to say, hey,
I got it right here.
There it is.
And then you can drive without a dinging.
All your model three, model Y
owners are like probably laughing the whole time.
Like don't you know, what you're supposed to do?
No, I don't know that.
Why wouldn't you do that? I use the key to get in the door.
It is not enough to tell you.
One thing I do like is that my phone is charging right
there, just set it there.
One full screen right here. Nothing right here.
It's very minimalistic, but the black interior,
it looks really good.
The sound system should be really nice.
We did not pay for all self-driving it's $10,000 upgraded
for that.
I don't think it's worth it. Honestly,
if you're thinking about getting it, don't get it.
It's a waste of money.
I've driven in the latest iteration of full self-driving.
Three days ago with my friend,
it messed up three different times, driving around town.
Like it is not perfect.
And that's like the best that Tesla has right now.
So, I would recommend save your $10,000.
Use it somewhere else.
The car will still drive on the freeway in the lane.
You just can't signal lanes
and it's not going to do all the
things in the future that is supposed to be doing.
But honestly, with the government,
looking into Tesla for their full self driving claims and
everything, there's a chance
it may never happen.
So, we decided not to do that for Lincoln.
I want him to pay attention on the roads.
Just use to stay in the lane. So.
- I left my purse on the floor.
- You probably get it.
We have the car.
We figured out the dinging.
We have not figured out the dent. Oh my gosh,
every time you touch it, it's like, you have to play.
Tap your key right here.
There we go, I tapped it.
I have to now press brake.
Oh my gosh.
The dinging sound is the most annoying sound in the world.
It's stopped.
I figured it out. All right, Leslie,
you have to go charge this car and get home.
Good job. Good job of picking out a good car for Lincoln.
- I am so excited,
I can't wait to surprise him.
- It's a surprise. It's going to be awesome.
Okay. Drive safe.
I have a very important place that I have to stop here
in town first, every time I come to Las Vegas,
I stopped at this one specific place.
Then we can continue onward and get this car home and we
need to hide it somewhere so that Lincoln doesn't see it.
Seriously. These donuts are so good.
They are about to build one,
a shop of this up in our small town,
which I'm really excited about.
So usually when we come down to Las Vegas,
we get a couple of boxes. And then when we go home,
we just give them to friends and to family and stuff,
and just like spread the love because everybody can use
a donut.
A two hour drive back to our house and we need to hide
this car somewhere. Cause we're not showing Lincoln today.
Okay. I made it.
And I'm going to store this at my parents' house for the
time being.
In two days, I have tint setup for the windows,
the two driver's side windows that don't have tint on them.
And then I think what we'll do is on Saturday,
we will reveal the car to Lincoln.
I think I might just like hide it in the RV garage and where
the golf simulator is back it up into there,
move the couch and then have all of his friends in there
and then have it be a big surprise.
Some people might wonder why did we get a Tesla model Y?
That is a super nice car for a kid to have you are
right. He is very lucky and very blessed.
This is one of the safest cars in the world.
Tesla makes very safe cars.
I want my son to be safe when he drives,
if he gets into an accident,
I like that I can track the car all the time,
using the mobile app and see how fast he's going.
I also like that
I can set the speedometer to never go faster than 90 miles
an hour.
All of the cameras on the car are always recording things.
They're recording what's happening. And of course,
obviously I feel very fortunate to be in the situation that
we're at because we'd had this amazing run as YouTubers.
And so I only feel that it is fitting for Lincoln to have
a blue Tesla model Y.
Now is this his car that he
is going to keep and have, after he moves out of the house,
that's still a question that we're going to have to have
with him.
He does need to do some things like make sure his grades are
maintained and do some other stuff.
And we also have London and Claire that are going to be
turning 16. Every two years.
We have somebody turning 16 for the next four years.
And so we need to figure out what we're going to do for the
family cars, but for now, for the time being,
while he lives in our house for the next two years,
this is the car that he will be driving,
which is super cool. If you want to see the video of us,
surprising Lincoln with the car to get his reaction,
then stay tuned. We're going to be showing that video next.
I would imagine I haven't filmed it yet.
So I'm a little nervous and excited for the big unveiling,
but there you go. The car is here.
It's a view. I like it.
All right. Thanks for watching.
We'll see you the
surprise, next.
- I can't believe how fancy this is.
Honestly. I've never seen one in the daytime.
I've only seen them in the evening
- In the evening? What does that even mean?
- Yes, I've only seen them all the way
in the evening in Jonathan's car.
I've only been in there at dark, it's dark.
So I've never actually seen it.
Everybody can use a donut.
