♪ Tell me where you wanna go ♪
- Ferrari, Lamborghini, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model 3,
and another Ferrari over there.
Welcome to one of my favorite places,
Luxe Auto Spa and today is a huge day.
I've been waiting for this for a long time.
I finally was able to come up to Salt Lake City, Utah,
and come to Luxe Auto Spa and see all of the work
and unveil to you guys and myself what was done
with my Tesla Roadster.
The original Tesla Roadster as it's been here
for the last few months.
There were some issues with it.
- It's a lot easier to just go get inside of it now though.
Without the roof off and no seats.
- But today everything is done.
I'm dying to see what the brake calipers look like,
I wanna hear what the stereo sounds like,
and I just wanna see what this paint looks like on there
with all the protection that's on it.
So, let's go find Cougar,
and let's check out the Tesla Roadster!
- What's up man, how are you doing?
- What is this car, Cougar? - This is a Land Seal.
This is like as vintage rally as it gets.
- [Dan] We got Porsche, Porsche, is that a Nissan?
I don't know, sorry, I'm not much of a car guy
other than Teslas.
Another Porsche, another Porsche.
I mean look at this place,
this is a Lamborghini with like some matte finish, white.
Oh my gosh.
Look at this, look at the steering wheel,
it's like green, it's like an Italy flag!
Dude, the cars here are next level.
Look at this Mercedes, wow!
We went to the Mercedes museum
and I'm pretty sure we saw some of these.
- Well, the funny thing about this car
is they actually call it the dictator's cars,
because every dictator had one of these things.
- [Dan] What?
And then we got just random cars hiding.
What is this, like a race car?
- Yeah, this is a Mercedes GT3,
it's factory homologate race car from Mercedes.
So this is out of the box how it comes.
- No! - Yep, yep.
- [Dan] What?
- Look at the tub on the stock car is,
and I mean you got eight inches of carbon fiber bodywork
and the aerial in these things is unbelievable.
- Oh, there's a hole, there's a black hole
right in the center of the thing, that's huge!
Somebody can fall in that and get hurt.
I think I mentioned in another video,
but now Cougar is selling cars here.
Mostly it's like their customers
that have really unique, expensive, nice cars
that have a really unique buyer.
He already knows a lot of these people,
so he's able to take these and sell 'em.
How's it been going, you guys been selling cars?
- Awesome, yeah, Max has been killing it.
We sold a 959, which you, I saw your last video,
about 1.3 Million dollars all the way to you know.
Even daily drivers, it's been a lot of fun.
- So, is the Roadster done? - The Roadster's done.
- [Dan] Are we ready to take a look at it?
- Are you ready? - Epic shots right now.
- You know, one thing I'd say to anyone
who's considering buying this car is,
you're not just buying a sports car,
you're actually helping pay for developments
of the mass market vehicles.
All free cash flow goes completely into driving
the technology to lower, lower costs
and make it more available.
(upbeat music)
- This is it guys, this is the Roadster.
We just took some amazing shots because I felt like
my little camcorder didn't do it justice.
That was actually footage from a red camera.
My friend, Cory, filmed that.
It looks clean.
It looks probably cleaner and fresher than when it first
came off the assembly line back in 2009 or 2010.
I mean, the paint is just popping right now.
It's sparkly, shiny everywhere.
Why does the paint look so good?
Like it almost looks like it's repainted?
- This car had been repainted at some point in it's life.
It had been said it's a really, really nice paint job,
but as paint begins to settle it shrinks back a little bit,
so that's where all that texture came from.
- Okay. - So this, the film,
8 Mil Xpel Ultimate, it really just kind of smoothed
over that texture, and then we put
the Modesta ceramic coating over top of it and it just pops.
- [Dan] So we've got a PPF and a ceramic coating.
This was black before, it's black now,
but it just looks so much shinier.
- This is where we took off all the vinyl from the car
that was super textured, just kind of dingy.
It really needed an update,
and this is actually black impregnated PPF.
It looks like it's painted,
but you don't have to visit a body shop, which is nice
and it's blue under there, so you can always remove it
and go back to stock if you want to.
- One of the big issues that I had with this Tesla is
the radio, the stereo was pure garbage, like seriously.
It had a CD player in it that flipped out.
Cougar doesn't typically redo radios in cars,
but I mean really, he can do anything to the cars,
but he said, "I think we can figure something out."
Because this was tricky.
There used to be a subwoofer down in there
and it took up the foot space in there
so the previous owner, Thomas, took it out.
And then some owners will take a subwoofer
and put it inside of here 'cause there is some space,
but that would get some major rattle on the car
and it would sound kind of cheap.
So Cougar had the idea,
what if we go in the back of the seat here,
where there's really not much space.
When he first explained it to me on the phone I'm like,
there's nothing back there, there's no room,
I can't even push the seat back that far.
That's why a lot of those fancy sports cars
and even the new Roadster that's coming out
has the two seats behind it.
It's not so that four people can sit in the car,
it's so that the driver can have more leg room
or you can put stuff back there if you want.
They decided to put a subwoofer down inside of there
and all of this, it looks like leather, this is all new,
it's part of the box, it's like some sort of pancake box
I guess, for speakers.
It allows you to put a subwoofer
in a place that's extremely tight.
He had to cut into the wall, it wasn't the firewall,
but by doing that, we could fit this back here
and I gotta be honest, it looks way better than I thought.
I was imagining a speaker sticking out right here
and sticking way far out
and some cheap looking box sitting there,
but of course, this is like it's out of (mumbles).
I just thought that's the only thing
you could potentially do in here.
Now, this looks like a Tesla 'cause all the Teslas
have big touch screens and big screens.
This is definitely more in line
with what you should see in a 2019 car.
We had this little touch screen
which is like the world's smallest, but this thing is huge.
- [Cougar] It did have an after market stereo system
and amplifier that was hidden.
- [Dan] It had a hidden amplifier in it?
- [Cougar] Yup, yup.
- [Dan] That somebody put in after market?
- [Cougar] Yup, yup, and all the speakers
were actually after market. - Oh wow.
- [Cougar] So, after market head unit
and then all the speakers. - Okay, Kenwood.
- And then we have your pancake sub back here
that will give a nice little hit of bass.
So we put a new amp in it and that's gonna power
all your speakers as well, so you're hooked up man.
- Ask and you shall receive, that's what Cougar does.
Here we go, the true test.
(car beeping)
I feel like it's just gonna turn right on right away,
but The Stinger! (laughs)
And it even has the protective film.
I'm taking that off, I'm not a big fan of those
and now I can get fingerprints on it.
There's not very much music that's copyright free
or whatever that we could play on this,
but Marshmallow's Alone song,
I know it's a few years old now, but that was by Monstercat
and we have a license to Monstercat, so we can play that.
Plus it has good bass.
(upbeat music)
It already sounds so much better.
It was garbage before.
This song has a ton of bass.
Oh!
Oh, where's Cougar?
This sounds good, Cougar!
- What do you think?
Do you like it? - That sounds so good.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, subwoofer!
I can feel the subwoofer.
(upbeat music)
There we go.
(upbeat music)
Oh!
(laughing)
- Is that good? - That is good!
Oh, it sounds so good!
(upbeat music)
You can feel it in your back,
it's like right up on the seat.
- Pretty cool, huh. - It doesn't sound cheap
at all.
Oh my gosh!
My kids are gonna be so embarrassed
when I pick them up from school in this thing.
This is so good, I mean this is a convertible
when you're driving down the street,
especially because your head's so high.
You just hear a lot of the wind noise
or even if when I, I don't have a hard top on this,
I just have a soft top, so it's even loud with that.
Now I can listen to like a podcast or some music,
and actually hear it and enjoy it like a Tesla should be.
Teslas have the best audio in every single one of their cars
except for this original Roadster, until now.
I gotta hear this bass drop again.
I'm just gonna sit here and enjoy it.
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
I'm so nerdy.
(upbeat music)
If you're somebody that owns an OG Roadster
which there's only like 1,000 of you in the United states,
there's not that many,
I would definitely consider upgrading the audio.
The subwoofer is an incredible addition
and it fits extremely well right now.
I'm not compromising my leg room,
there's still not very much leg room,
it doesn't make it any tighter.
And the the sound system, like upgrading it to something
where the Bluetooth actually works.
I connected it seconds to the Bluetooth with this.
I don't have little tweeters in the doors,
but you don't need 'em.
Some of the other versions, like the sport model,
they had like tweeters in there, maybe that was an upgrade
that you'd get back when you bought it,
but we don't have it in mine.
The other thing that I wanna show you is the wheels.
It was all rusty right there, like all over the place.
Just rust and nasty looking
and then look at that, they put some blue on there.
It's a little guy, it's not a huge caliper
like the other ones, but it kinda matches the car
and it looks really good.
I know when I did the Tesla Roadster update video,
a lot of you guys when I said, we were gonna paint 'em blue,
you were like, "no don't do it blue, do it yellow
"or do it some other color",
so that it pops a little bit more,
but we went with blue, so sorry if you're disappointed
in the blue.
I really like blue, so that's the way it is.
- This is what all started with you and I, man.
I mean, yeah-- - The calipers.
- Yeah. - Yeah, the very first video,
I didn't even know Luxe Auto Spa,
I just went to Tesla and I said,
I wanna paint my calipers red and the guy told me
the place like, well you can buy some brand new ones,
but you don't need to get brand new ones
because those are so expensive,
you can just go get them painted by somebody
that's really good at doing it.
Luxe Auto Spa is who he recommended.
And they'll do it for half the price or less
and if the quality is way better,
it'll actually stay on longer so that was the first video.
I think I named it, "Shouldn't Have Done this To Her Tesla".
Yeah, I think I found a place, check this thing out, ooh!
And that was when we had out old Teslas.
One of my first ever Tesla videos,
and a lot of you guys have been like,
"Why do you post so many Tesla videos?"
Well, I posted that one and you guys liked it,
and so we've just kind of documented
our Tesla experience over the years.
It's only been like four years maybe, but it's been a really
fun ride and it's really fun sharing with you guys
'cause these are really fun and unique cars.
I gave you the car and it had no key to the lug nuts
and it wasn't because I lost it.
- It had a key, it just wasn't the right key.
- [Dan] Yes, so the guy that I bought it from,
he had one at some point and then somehow he lost it.
In order to get these lug nuts off, right here,
you can see these ones that are on here,
he had to drill it out and break it and pull the lug nut out
and then take off the rest of 'em,
and then buy new ones and put them on there.
Is there a key for these ones
or can I just take them off like normal?
- There's a key for these ones, it's in your glove box.
- Okay good. - So, make sure
that one stays there.
- Black leather right here, I love seeing this speaker.
Once you own a Tesla, you kind of become
an audio snob inside of a car.
When I bought my Honda, the audio is so bad inside of it,
I mean, it's not bad, but it's like, it's HD radio
or whatever, but it's so bad compared to a Tesla
that a lot of times, I don't even listen to the radio.
I'll just listen to like an audiobook or something.
And then look at this, we've got black on here,
we had black before, we had black right here also,
we also had black right here,
but this black is different, right?
- It is different.
This is an impregnated gloss black--
- [Dan] Impregnated, what did you do to my car?
- I impregnated it, not like that, not like that.
- [Dan] It's been here like nine months.
(laughing)
- [Cougar] It's awesome, it makes it look like paint
and it just looks so, so good.
- [Dan] It does look like paint.
I don't think people would realize that that's not paint.
- And it's self-healing which is a great thing as well.
- Self what? - Self-healing.
- Self-healing? - So if you do do
get a little scratch or anything like that,
it actually will heal the top coat.
- Dude, it really is alive. - Yeah.
- [Dan] You impregnated it and it heals itself.
- Coated it, man, we did all the things to it.
- [Dan] This is the future, I'm scared.
And then this windshield, you can't really tell on video,
but they did put some tint on there.
I live in a pretty hot climate
and also it's an electric car,
like you want to keep it cool, I mean.
It's a small space and you don't wanna be blasting
the AC all the time.
There's tint on all the windows.
It's only a few windows but it makes a huge difference
when you're riding in it, thank you Cougar.
I didn't even ask for that, that's awesome.
So I have this crazy idea, the Tesla pick up truck event
is in Hawthorne, California, which is near Los Angeles.
I'm really excited about the pickup truck event.
It's on Thursday night, I do have an invite
and I'm attending it.
I think I'm gonna take the Roadster all the way down there
and take it to the event.
I just made the decision right now.
I don't know what my wife's gonna think about this, but,
is that crazy of me?
Like, the thing is in a day.
Do I really wanna take this car
all the way down there to LA?
If any of your guys are going to the Tesla event
or you're going to be in LA that day, look for me.
I'd love to show you the stereo in person
and kind of the stuff that I've done
and maybe give you a ride in an original Roadster,
there's a lot of people that make YouTube videos
about Teslas and a lot of tech people
that have never actually been in the car that started it all
for Elon Musk and Tesla.
I am getting out of here right now.
I'm gonna drive this thing to Hawthorne, California.
Hopefully, I can make it in time for the Tesla event.
My car is back, I'm so happy, thanks Cougar.
Cougar just brought out a little gift.
This is a Model 3 little tiny like diecast,
and you have how many of 'em? - Three.
- We made a video on Luxe Auto Spa's channel
showing more of the details
and like talking through technical specs
about what we did on here.
So if you want one of these,
I don't really know how we're gonna give these away yet,
but we're gonna do it on Cougar's video
that's on his channel, so I'll link that in the description
and at the end of this, go watch his video,
give him a subscribe to their channel.
They do some awesome work here
and he's gonna be detailing, not just my car,
but other YouTubers who's they've been working on lately.
Other YouTubers that are much bigger
than what I am and what "What's Inside?" is.
So, go watch the video.
Have any "What's Inside?" fans come in
and gotten their cars worked on?
- Yeah, yeah, we've had a few, so proceed guys.
- (laughing) That's great.
And little behind the scenes action,
this is before we filmed all the stuff that you already saw.
This is Cory and he is serious about filming.
I asked him this morning, maybe three hours ago,
hey Cory, are you free today?
Could you come help film?
He's like, "actually I do have a little bit of time",
shows up with this.
It's like a slider I think, I don't know,
and he's gonna set it up and that's what got you
this sick B roll and then also, what is this?
Mark has brought over here?
We've got a Red?
Oh, one thing I didn't ask you,
is there a way that you can do something to make it
so it's easier to get out of my car?
- I'm not so sure about that.
- I think that was not fixable.
(laughing)
This is closed, come on.
The heck? - A nice little hint of bass.
