My name is Nico and this is my Tesla Model X I saw documentary on electric
vehicles when I was in junior high fast-forward graduate from college
Apply to Tesla. Fastforward again four years later I quit Tesla
I absolutely loved working for Tesla I was 21 years old. That gave me a lot of power
and responsibility and I ate it up I was hungry and I killed it and totally grew
my career in the company the Sprinter idea really came about because I loved
the idea of no overhead and combining your mortgage or rent with your car
payment months go by months go by months go by and a colleague of mine made me
privy to this little program that was going on I have to get my hands on this
car I don't care what it takes I could live in this i reworked the entire idea
what it would be to live in a car what it would be to live in a Tesla my
biggest concern was not being able to stand up I made that a requirement when
I was first thinking about living in a car but the beautiful thing is these
doors make it feel like I can stand up and still be inside of my "domicile"
so this is a Tesla Model X 75 kilowatt hour battery dual motor all-wheel-drive
so you've got two motors one in the front one in the rear this can go a
0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds wheels are 22 inch black onyx
low-profile Pirelli tires not the most ideal for going off-roading but I've
done some serious serious driving over rocks like Boulder type of rocks and
I've made it out all Model X's come equipped with air suspension as well so
I can raise and lower my car which is extremely useful when going through
terrain that is less than ideal it does have a front trunk this is where I store
all of my kitchenware. You've got a pressurized shower container that you
just hook up to any water faucet and it retains the pressure that is put into
this container it's amazing so I use it for dishes mainly but if I'm in a
bind I can use it for a shower as well this is an ice bag I had the hard shell
one first but I realized that when living in such a small place you want as
many things that are malleable that can be kind of folded and crunched instead
of something that's stiff because it's just such a waste of space if you're not
utilizing it all the time we'll move on to the driver's door and the amazing
thing about this car everything is automated so it really takes away the
feeling that I'm living in a car. You push this button and it
welcomes me in it's my own little chauffeur so we can start at the door
panel just the necessities water bottle foot stuff just to make sure I keep my
car from not smelling bad as much as possible because that's something I
learned as well small spaces and B-O don't really go along very well the
black Alcantara which is just the entire ceiling is covered with it it makes it
so warm and cozy and the touchscreen it's a 15 inch touchscreen and this has
basically the control center of this car navigation it has internet but I don't
use it I have unlimited data on my phone dash cluster here this they're taking away
on the new models and I love it so much it's just very helpful we have some
compartments everywhere but of course I have done my absolute best to maximize
all of the little cubbies that exist you have the door panels here like I said
necessities you might be wondering what this aluminum foil is for and no it's
not for cooking this is how I lock myself into my car at night my keys are
actually a Bluetooth signal to the car so when I get up to the car the car
knows that the key is around so it unlocks it for me but when I'm inside
and I have my keys the car stays unlocked I actually had someone tried to
break into my car once and that was shortly after I actually figured out how
to lock my car so you wrap the keys with the aluminum
foil this car is equipped with autopilot and it makes driving so much easier
because I'm not even driving so I just get to sit back relax enjoy the view
most of the time. Enough of the instruments and driving, we'l move on to
a bit more of the Cubbies the center console obviously right here it is gets
very scratched up and dirty but this is another essentials floss, snacks
deodorant, hand sanitizer and peanut butter just a jar of peanut butter
constantly be munching on so this is just the snack Center as I like to call it
and then we have a candle because my Lyft passengers and
any dates that I go on appreciate me making the car not smell like me so a
PROTIP get a candle in your car if you're living it now to my bed it's
not too crazy I actually just dealt with a tempur-pedic topper for the first six
months but realize that my hip since I'm a side sleeper who it's just jamming
into the bottom flooring of the back trunk I added another mattress pad
so I'm doubled up here double and these second row seats actually
fold up so I have a full second row with three seats I like to keep that seat up
so I can kind of get changed or just sit down and put my laptop here and get some
work done as well so office space and the bedroom space. I just store a few things
down below and little cubbies just total miscellaneous stuff
from Pee Bottle to the clothes to random equipment. I don't like anything on top
of here and the reason being is when I am Lyft driving people need to put their
luggage in my trunk so I can't have it completely full I take people
to the airport so it needs to be relatively spacious so I just fold my
mattress up tri-fold it up and here is what is underneath I have a yoga mat for
when I'm cooking and when I'm on rocks I have a grill I have a mechanical
keyboard a chessboard my lederhosen from Oktoberfest
my charging cables I can actually plug into a normal 110 volt outlet which means I
could plug into anything it doesn't charge the car very fast but
that is a last resort if I'm absolutely stuck you may be wondering why I have a
Taser right here well this is my home protection device so when I'm sleeping
if I am starting to get a little uncomfortable if someone's coming up to
my car it's happened one time before or someone tried to break into my car while
I was sleeping in it luckily I had my taser at the time so I was ready for
anything and the other cubby over here can't forget the bear that I've had
since I was born there's actually an image of me and the bear and the bear is
bigger than me so it's come a long way. I had to hold on to it.
People always ask me "Where do you sleep?" I sleep in very rich neighborhoods
Tesla superchargers are what make this practical for me I have unlimited free
supercharging that's been grandfathered in. I lift Drive for money I don't have
to pay for gas I don't have any overhead when it comes to moving people around
and not working a nine-to-five allows you to kind of dabble in these interests
and really bulk up your character and your being better because the
nine-to-five it's just draining what do you do when you get home from a
nine-to-five you don't want to do anything you want to sit down go on the
computer watch TV do a lot of mindless things but I knew that if I didn't get
out of the nine-to-five if I didn't get out of a very comfortable place then I
wouldn't be able to push myself forward. You have to go through is it actually
worth it for you? What do you want to be doing in your life?
Can you get by doing? It's gonna reveal itself to you. It may not be a Sprinter van it may
not be an RV it may not be an electric vehicle but it could be something be
open to what could come your way and what opportunities this seriously fell
in my lap and I couldn't pass it up and it was everything that I tried to live
by so I would just say to try to live by who you are
