- Today is a super exciting day.
Today we are buying our third Tesla
in our lifetime, which is crazy to think.
I can't believe that.
Our first one was a used Model S, which we really liked.
Our second one, that we still own, is a 100D Model X.
It's white; it's awesome.
We love the thing; it was new.
Something happened a few weeks ago.
(mysterious music)
I was doing what I was doing all the time.
I go into Tesla Inventory,
which is our friend, Eric's, website,
and I was searching for new cars.
And I noticed that over 200 P100D Model X's came online.
And the cool thing about it was
it had a crazy, crazy discount.
And then I started adding in the federal tax credit,
my Tesla Roadster referral thing.
All of a sudden, I've realized,
oh my gosh, we need to buy another Tesla.
I'm gonna explain the numbers to you
a little bit later of how good of a deal it was.
But first we gotta go in and let's check out this car.
I still haven't even seen it in person yet.
Let's do this; Tesla time!
(upbeat bass music)
This is it!
We are walking through the service bay right now.
There's a really cool baby blue Tesla Roadster behind me.
It's awesome.
The car is ready; it's not in the delivery area inside.
They have it outside ready for me.
They've got a crazy process here.
At different Tesla stations around the U.S.
they're just pumping out cars.
I'm so excited to see Q3 numbers from Elon
because I think the delivery numbers
are gonna surprise everybody on Wall Street
and everybody in Detroit and Germany
when they see how many cars
they've actually produced and sold.
This is what we got, guys.
A black P100D Model X.
It's not blacked out yet, but it is nice.
Oh yeah, that looks good.
(upbeat music)
This is it; This is how our new Model X P100D.
I'm super excited!
We are officially getting rid of our Honda Pilot
and we're going all electric.
Honestly, after watching Elon Musk
on Joe Rogan's podcast talk about carbon emissions.
I've never really bought these cars
to save the planet in a way.
I bought them 'cause they're fast and they're cool.
But after listening to it, I'm like, you know what,
if I can afford to get electric cars
and decrease my carbon footprint, I'm all about it.
So I told you that I got a discount on this.
Let me explain a little bit.
This car is a P100D.
First, we got a $7500 tax rebate
that is going away in the United States
at the end of this calendar year, 2018.
The second discount is because I have
something like 25 referrals on the Tesla Roadster,
every time I get a referral,
I get $5000 off of the Tesla Roadster.
Which that's gonna be going away at some point.
So buying a car myself,
I'm referring myself; that's $5000 off.
Free supercharging.
It just went away three days ago, three days ago!
You can never again buy a Tesla
and get free supercharging for life.
So for the life of this car, anytime I go on road trips
and charge at the supercharging station,
it doesn't cost me a penny.
We do a lot of road trips,
so that definitely add up over the years.
We've used it a ton on our other Tesla.
Let's put the cost of that of being $2000 a year
in cost savings for gas.
Let's say I'm gonna have this for four years,
so let's throw that number up there.
We'll have $8000 as a discount.
The second to last discount,
but is one of the biggest discounts,
is this car is, in a way, used.
It was the Tesla floor model.
They used it for demonstration purposes,
and it has around 4000 miles on it.
So I'm not getting a brand-new,
sparkly clean, zero-miles car on it.
Because of that, Tesla, at the end of the year,
they wanted to unload a bunch of their floor models,
so that next year they have the 2019s in there.
This car fit what I wanted.
And the beauty is, let's add up that tally,
this car Tesla discounted $22,500.
(man chuckle)
That's crazy!
You know the positives on that price that I just mentioned.
What are some of the negatives of buying a car that is,
in a way, new inventory or it's used?
First of all, people have probably done
a ton of launch modes in this.
They take it out, they test drive it, and they launch it.
So the driving is probably not ideal for the battery.
So you have that usage on the battery, on the car,
of launching at ludicrous speed,
going 2.8 or 2.9 second, zero to 60.
That definitely factors into it.
The other problem with buying a car
that is new inventory is check out the rims.
This is all scratched right here.
So somebody was driving and they rubbed up against the curb.
The tires don't look brand new.
I was a little disappointed by that
because when I talked to the sales rep,
I had been told that they put
new wheels and rims on all of the new cars.
But now that I have the car, what can I do?
They've told me here that they don't.
So you've got a scratch on that one.
This rim looks pretty good.
This rim, right here,
right there is a little bit of a scratch.
Right there is a little bit of scratch.
I can feel it and see it.
Here's the front tire.
I feel a little bit of a scuff there.
Right there on the main turbine thing,
that is scratched also.
Three out of the four tires are scratched.
I'm not super happy about that,
but like the guy said that was delivering it to me,
"That's why you get it for $22,500 off."
The other thing that I noticed right away,
when looking at the wheels and the tires,
is that the brakes and the brake calipers,
it looks like there's a little bit of rust on it.
Maybe they drove it in a little bit
of the snow out in New York
over the last eight months or so
while it was a demo car.
So yeah, I'm not a hug fan of that,
but, again, the discount.
And then the last thing that I've noticed
that is, again, not ideal is
on the front of the car, right there,
that's white right there.
So that's a scratch in the paint right there, rock chip.
Couple little rick chips.
And then down here on the front,
if I rub my hand across it I can feel some of the rock chips
and you can see them, the indentions that they have in here.
Looks like some of them, they took a little paint touch up,
like right there and right there,
to try to mask the color of it.
Right there is a bigger-sized chip; you can see that one.
Overall, though, the paint, they fixed it up well.
It looks shiny and clean.
I'm gonna go probably to my friends, Etholux Auto Spa,
and get a ceramic coating on this
so that is protects the paint from here on out
and get a clear bra on the front.
Even with that you still have a little bit
of the chips on there.
(mysterious techno music)
I'm driving the car!
I'm leaving the lot; this is officially ours!
I'm super excited.
There's a few things that are different between a P100D
and just your regular 100D that we have back home.
First of all, we do have tow mode.
So apparently we can tow a trailer with this.
I don't know if it has,
I didn't see the hitch in the back.
But at least we have that mode and all that stuff set up.
But then even better than that, we have the launch mode.
I wanna test it out.
I'm in a random street, so I'm not gonna fully test it out.
But I gotta feel how much faster is
this car than my other one.
All right, so we push this button right here,
which I've never had before.
This is the ludicrous speed.
Pops up on the screen and says,
"Are you sure you wanna push the limits?
This will cause accelerated wear
of the motor, gearbox, and battery."
Which, again, this was a car that people drove around
and probably did this a lot of times, so not ideal.
"No, I want my mommy; Yes, bring it on."
This is the moment of truth.
(man groans)
(man laughing)
That never gets old; that is so fast!
(man cheering)
I only went zero to 45, but wow!
Okay, this car is fast!
The last thing I didn't mention is
that if you own a business
and if you're able to buy this on the business,
if it's a corporation, again, this isn't something
that you would need to talk
to your own individual accountant on.
I'm not giving tax advice now.
If you own a business or corporation,
this is heavy enough to qualify under the truck exemption
and you can get accelerated depreciation.
A lot of people will do,
within five years you'd depreciate the car.
There are some ways you can even accelerate it faster.
So based off of my tax bracket and how that'll all play out,
you can save anywhere from 30 to $45,000 in tax.
Let's leave it at 40, so another $40,000 discount
just on the tax side of things.
So yeah, basically, here's how much
of a discount I'm getting off of this car by buying it.
I'm happy about that; Model X P100D for that price.
Now I need to go drive for a few hours
and go find the family and let them see the car.
They're gonna be pumped.
(upbeat techno music)
If ever in the west coast,
make sure you get In-N-Out, so good.
(upbeat techno music)
Wanna see something crazy?
I just pulled up to a supercharging station on my drive.
Look at this; they're all closed for the road,
but there are two right here and I was able to squeeze in.
I'm actually up against the caution wire.
Driving the car for 200 miles, it ran great.
Feels just like a Tesla.
Man, look how annoying this is.
You've got one Model 3 right here, one Model 3 right there
and then those two cars.
Only two spots to charge.
If you're driving from Las Vegas, Nevada
to Salt Lake City, Utah,
this is the only supercharging station
for a really long time.
I won't fully charge.
I'll go to the next one because I don't want
these people to have to wait
for too long because I know what that's like.
I've done that before, but, man, super annoying.
- That's fancy!
- [Man] It's black.
- I like it.
I'll have to drive it a little bit.
I like my white interiors.
- [Man] Good, I know how you like the white ones
because this one's mine!
- This one feels really clean.
- [Man] When you're driving around in it and it's sunny,
it feels darker in here.
- Really?
- [Man] Because the car is darker.
Okay, now it's time for Claire and her friends to see it.
Are you ready?
- [Claire] Yeah, I'm scared.
- Okay, don't be that afraid.
It's not as fast as the car version would be.
Three, two, one.
- [Girl] Whoa, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
- [Man Wearing Hat] Holy!
(Man Wearing Hat laughing)
Literally I can feel the blood rush off my body.
- I know, it goes like, it holds you back,
like you can't get back up!
- [Children] Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!
(man laughing)
- It helps if you put your head on the back
if you don't wanna feel sick; there you go.
Three, two, one.
(children laughing and yelling)
- [Man Wearing Hat] That's insane!
- Or it's ludicrous.
- Ludicrous, very ludicrous.
- [Man] Do you think mom would like that?
- No.
- Not one bit; she would hate that.
That's why she gets the white car
that's zero to 60 in 4.8 seconds.
This one's 2.8.
- [Man] Now it's your turn; are you ready?
- Yeah.
- I asked Claire if mama would like it
and she said, "No, Mama will not like it."
- Really?
- "She'll like the white one so much more."
- Probably; I get sick.
I feel sick if we go too fast.
- Okay, well,
- I just ate a bunch of cornflakes, too.
- Cornflakes are the worst.
- Special K.
- [Man] First thing you need to do is push "ludicrous" mode.
- Gosh!
- No peeing.
(woman laughing)
- Don't say that because I will, okay.
(woman screams)
Oh, my gosh; oh my gosh!
Oh my gosh, I knew it was gonna be fast, but that's nuts!
(man laughing)
What on earth; why do they make it so fast?
- [Man] 'Cause it's Elon Musk and he's the best!
It's the fastest minivan in the world.
- Oh my word; you feel it.
- [Man] You do; you feel it in your whole body.
(woman yelling and laughing)
- Don't do it! My neck's on the side!
Oh my gosh, what if the police were right around the corner?
- [Man] There's no police here.
Time to see Lincoln's reaction.
Let's go to "ludicrous."
- Oh yeah, that's fast; that's really fast, yeah, wow!
(man laughing)
- His reaction was not quite as excited as Leslie's.
(Leslie yelling)
- Oh my gosh!
- [Man] Thoughts on the new car?
- I love the black interior.
- [Man] Do you like the wood?
- It'll grow on me.
(drums playing)
- I told him that joke earlier.
There's Lincoln.
- To our first pit stop.
- [Man] First pit stop.
I think this is a good place to end the video.
Guys, I hope that you enjoyed this long video
of our day of getting the car.
We still have a few more hours of driving to go,
but I like this car.
I'm super excited and grateful to have it.
And let us know what questions you have about this car.
I think I'm gonna do a video
of explaining why we got two Model X's
versus getting an S or a Model 3.
Thanks for watching guys.
It's gonna be a long night.
(man laughing)
