- About a month ago I was here in Las Vegas
and I test drove a red Roadster.
It was one of the last 20 ever made,
it's one of only 70 that has
every single option that you can get on a Tesla
and it's red like the one that went to space.
And I couldn't get this thing outta my mind
over the last month and so what's better than one Roadster?
Two Roadsters.
We're gonna buy this Roadster.
This is it, this is the red Tesla Roadster
that is in incredible shape and such a beautiful car.
Why are you selling it?
Isn't this your baby?
- It's my Betty, Betty Boop.
- Betty Boop. - Yeah.
- [Man] And you bought it originally when?
- Got it in 2011. - [Man] What made you decide
to buy a Tesla Roadster 'cause a lot of people
weren't' buying 'em back then?
- I just had a friend that his dad worked for
another electric demo place, he says,
hey, you can go online and design your own car.
So I just thought that was cool
so I designed my own car.
- The amazing thing is that Tesla owners,
especially original Tela owners,
are so incredibly nice that she is giving me
her Tesla jacket and a couple of things.
This is a cover for the Roadster,
the original charger right here
which is a really good charger
and then also just the actual wall-charger they would use
on a regular car.
And check out the trunk.
It's super clean.
This car is incredibly clean and new
with the back trunk because they replaced the battery pack,
how long ago did they replace the battery pack?
- [Woman] I think it's only been
like three or four months now.
- [Man] Three or four months, that's it okay,
three or four months, new batter pack.
Tire inflation kit, not one, but two of them
which is good.
Did you pick out the color on this, like the red?
- I picked the color out and the design
and, you know, this is a duplicate
of the one he sent to space, he copied me on my design,
that's how I ended up with a lot of free stuff.
- In all of their marketing videos
you see one just like this.
So I'm gonna throw up some marketing videos
that Tesla has used, not just when they had the Roadster
and they were trying to sell it,
but also when they launched the new Roadster.
Up on screen they had a red one
that looked just like this with the same red.
Which this red has a bit of.
- [Woman] That was mine in the ad.
- [Man] Yours is the one in the ad?
- Yep, they used it for an ad, Tesla ad,
before I got it, so I had to wait two months longer,
I had to wait two months longer.
- This is the exact one inside of the Tesla ads.
I wondered why when I watch the ads
it looked so much like this.
Like the color is so unique.
- They told me it's the one in the ads.
- The VIN number is 1443, so it was
the 1443 one made.
I think they made like 1460, 1453, something like that,
so it was one of, one of the last 20 ever made.
I'm gonna buy this car and take the car
and hopefully be able to drive it home today
to Southern Utah
but I'm just really excited.
Thank you so much for the car.
- You're welcome.
- [Man] I'll take good care of it.
- I'm gonna miss her.
- All right guys, here is the car.
I pulled it out it's in the sunshine.
You can kind of see the reflections on it,
it's in really good shape, super beautiful.
Let's go on and hit the road.
Before I finish going home I wanna make sure
I have enough juice to get there
'cause you may not.
This battery doesn't have as many miles
as well, like a regular Tesla model, SR model, X might have.
It has the 3.0 battery pack so it should be
they say like 400 miles, but I don't buy that.
It's probably gonna be like 250 or something.
So, how do you charge it?
This is something by a company called,
HC Sharp, The Art of Charging.
It's a thing I bought for a few hundred dollars
from some guy back East that hand makes these things.
Because if you come to a Tesla service center,
or a Tesla place, you can't use a supercharger,
it doesn't talk to the battery pack
and so you see these destination chargers
that they have here at Tesla, you can use these,
but this end is different it doesn't work with a Tesla.
So what you have to do is you have to take this thing
and plug it into here and now you can take this
and plug it into your Roadster.
- [Man] How you doing today?
- Good, how are you guys? - All right.
- [Man] Better now that I saw your car. (laughing)
- I gotta get this thing charged up.
All right, so the light is blue right now.
Usually it says how much longer it has to charge,
but it's not saying that.
(upbeat digital music)
Good news we made it home.
I don't know how excited the family's gonna be
'cause they already have the blue one
and they were so excited about that one,
but I'm glad that it had enough miles to get back.
I still have like 50 miles range
which is pretty accurate to where it said originally,
so, happy about that.
- Oh, it looks so cool.
What the, the seats are like leather, everything,
what, it's carbon fiber?
- [Man] Carbon fiber, baby.
- What is this, what is this?
- [Man] I know, carbon fiber inside.
- Oh my gosh, those seats look actually
really nice and cozy.
It's still small just like the other one.
It's just as small, it's nice. - [Man] It fits you buddy.
- Yeah.
- [Man] Maybe this needs to be your high school car.
- Yes, yes, I would love that.
- [Man] Look at that thing, Roadster Sport,
it's a Sport Edition so it's the best one they've made.
- Where'd you see that, right here, oh nice.
- [Man] So which one do you like better the blue one
or the red one?
- I like the colors of the blue one, but I like this one.
This one is just as hard to get out too.
- [Man] When Elon came out with a new Roadster,
look at this one, watch the, look at the red one.
- [Lincoln] Yeah. - That maybe got us going
a new Roadster. - Did you see the one up top?
- Yeah. - We are making it now.
(clapping and cheering)
- [Lincoln] Yeah.
- [Man] Nice truck over there.
It turns out this is
the exact car. - No, it's not.
- [Man] This is what Tesla used
for their commercial. - No it's not.
- This is the legit one. - No, it's not.
- [Man] She said that she didn't get it
for an extra two months because they asked
if they could film stuff with it
and so they took it out and this is the one in the video
when Elon Musk was saying, this was the path,
this is what shaped the way, this is the exact car.
- What, did you know that?
- [Man] I didn't know it until they were talking about it.
- What?
- [Man] Yeah.
- That's amazing.
- [Man] The only difference was the inside was black
and they switched it out
'cause she really didn't like the black,
she wanted the tan in there.
We have the Tesla from the Tesla commercials.
- The original one too and Sport Edition.
- [Man] So cool.
- Come on.
- [Man] All right we're gonna get your opinion on this car.
- Wait, what?
Wait, is this one what.
Did you really buy this?
- [Lincoln] Wahoo!
- [Man] Yes, I bought this.
We have a red one and a blue one now.
- Where we gonna keep it?
- [Man] In our new house.
- Did mom say, yes?
- [Man] She said, whatever makes me happy.
- Oh my gosh, now we have two.
Does it go faster?
- [Man] It's a little bit faster,
has a rear backup camera, it's a little more comfortable,
it has a way better range,
it has a brand-new battery pack in it.
- What about the speakers?
- [Man] The speakers are good, they're good.
- I like the blue better.
- [Man] Why?
- Because it's blue.
- [Man] Doesn't the red look good though?
- Yeah, and then the seats are different too.
- [Man] Yeah.
- I like it.
- Cool. - It's cool.
- [Man] There you go, new car, yeah.
- Where are we gonna keep it outside?
- No, I think we're gonna put it in here somehow,
I don't know how.
Here they are side-by-side.
Here's the red one, here is the blue one.
I still love the blue, it's super dirty right now,
but I've noticed some differences.
First, look at the front it's pretty round.
It's pretty basic right here and it's round again.
But then look at this one.
Carbon fiber on the bottom,
you've got this super sporty little move in it
and then the front looks a little different
and the same thing on the other side.
Definitely plus one for the Roadster 3.0
versus this one when it comes to that look.
The back side, again, mine is so dirty right now,
but if you look down here it just has
this little tiny black thing at the bottom,
not very sporty, and then you look over here
this big heavy plastic thing
with a rear backup camera
and that looks a lot sportier on the bottom,
a lot sportier on the bottom.
It used to say, Roadster, right here I guess,
but they took it off and they put R80
when they got the battery upgraded.
So this one doesn't have any writing right there.
And again, like I said, super dirty.
I know, take care of your cars, I will,
I'll take care of it when we get our new house.
So there we are, blue versus red,
they are both pretty beautiful.
I love them both, I love all my children.
Okay, now to make room for it in my garage
which we are gonna be moving here pretty soon,
it's been a year and a half
and this is a bunch of stuff.
- [Lincoln] It took a year longer than we thought.
- [Man] This is from the Honda Accord,
my electric car doesn't do this,
but look how nasty that is
so we have like a 1 1/2 size garage,
but it's full of stuff.
I think I'm gonna get this junk,
move it somehow over here, throw away some stuff,
and then park
the Roadsters in here. - These can be stacked up.
- [Man] All right, not ideal,
but we only have like three weeks
and then we can do this, three Teslas in one garage.
Luckily these two are smaller.
Now we need to get these bad boys charged.
Successful charging.
We've got these bikes right here.
I put this cover over the side of it
so these bikes don't hit into it,
but you can't go all the way
because you can't cover up those fans,
as you can hear, they get going sometimes.
So, I'm just putting it on the side
so no accidental scratches happen
and the jacket fits Lincoln. - Look at this.
- [Man] She gave us this free jacket.
- [Lincoln] Tesla, it's all red.
Look at the back of it.
Tesla. - Oh my.
- You know what the best part is,
Tesla shirt, I didn't even realize
that you were bringing this here today,
but I wore my Tesla shirt today.
- And I wore mine too. - So now I got Tesla on Tesla
and then you've got Tesla too.
- Tesla on Tesla on Tesla
and look at my shoes.
Nike Tesla shoes.
All right we did it.
We have two Roadsters now.
And we're gonna be doing some more videos
comparing the two and getting
some really high-quality shots of this.
I really wanna paint protect it
and do some things and clean this other one up also
and when we get the new house
I have a few ideas to really help these stand out
and look good in the garage.
Oh, and a side note, Zach JerryRigEverything,
he has a red one.
It's a little bit different color of red than this
and his is one of the first 130 ever made.
- That's awesome.
- This is one of the last 20 ever made
and so it's a totally different spectrum.
So it'll be pretty cool.
We're gonna get Zach to bring his Roadster down here
and we can like race all three,
go driving with all three,
it's gonna be pretty cool, but for now,
I own two Roadsters, I'm kinda crazy.
- Hey, one day it'll be three, so.
- And maybe four if he,
'cause we get half off of a second next-gen Roadster
so we might have four.
Maybe we have to get a red and a blue next-gen Roadster
and then we have four.
- That's a lot of Roadsters.
