welcome to this week's video this week's video I've sold my Zoe and I've suddenly
won the lottery and bought Model X
Only joking what I'm actually done is I've had Dean come up and see me today
Dean's a guy I speak to speak to a lot regarding my youtube channel he's one of
my subscribers really really nice bloke he was up towards my end of town today
in his Model X and asked me if he could pop in for a brew so graciously
accepted as long as I could film inside his car
model x start with the
doors I'm obviously driver passenger chauffeur
style doors on all of them we can shut that quickly it's raining obviously we
can control both
falcon wing doors that gives you a little demo there on them of the doors opening shows
you in real time what each doors doing and see how it's got the the arc that it
follows there as well with a hinge on the top unhinge there so that it could
still open and close in a tight space
you can't beat how cool that is the only
problem is when you open the Falcon doors first thing you saw out the left
side was an old Dirty land rover defender (laughs) oh dear
so Dean just told me quite a cool feature
on the Tesla released on oh well he believes all Tesla's which is camping mode
which you can set an internal temperature for the car so it remains it
now most people won't camp in the Tesla but they might leave the kids in or they
might leave the dog in so while I'm here there's bio-weapon defence mode so you
hit that button and here all the vents change in that
now filtering medical grade air into the cabin and no virus is no bacteria no
Russian chemicals or anything at all in the car right so you can drive right
through Salisbury with this right now you'd be fine yeah yeah yeah but the main
thing you realize even when you don't have that on obviously it's still using
I believe is still using these filters because you don't smell anything anymore
you know you get behind another car and you can smell the clutch or you yeah
diesel fumes or something you probably never noticed if you not smelt it you
kind of you notice it when you go back into a normal car you start smelling
things again but you just can't smell anything when you're in this car I
presume that if you're beyond a diesel truck it filters all the diesel so you
don't get any even without the bio defense or you won't get any diesel
fumes you need down you can't you can't you can't smell I've never smelled
anything I assume it filters everything but you open the windows and you can
smell the diesel fumes that straight is not quite noticeable yeah you see that's
one of those things you don't notice until it's not there yeah that the
problem is most when you in a electric car it's great because you're saving the
environment but if you stuck behind someone who's got diesel car and it's
sucking it for you ventilation vents and essentially still choke "Dean- Quiet smug
yeah not breathing diesel - yes the size of
the rear trunk is actually quite impressively some very very very deep
it's also got a front trunk which is also impressively big so the local
features on here let's keep this beautiful big windscreen obviously you
need you sometimes it it's tinted it's 98 percent down percent in down to here
yeah but when the Sun is low in the sky and
it's lower than the tint line oviously
these just come out they've got a magnetic clip on here yeah so that magneticly
sticks onto there and no Sun behind you from this point it doesn't
blind you from that point we can't really tell on here and it's not not a
sunny day today but that's really well tinted and that's obviously bring us
down and then you've got the vanity mirror illuminated vanity mirror in there as
well yeah clips away in the Model X with the lovely gull wing doors loving little
portholes here to look out of very very premium build quality this is all like I
said a lovely cloth the cars brilliant it just looks brilliant I mean
just show you Dean's key as well even the keys beautiful so he has actually
got like a plastic cover over this to keep the key looking better but it's
basically the car ace picture of the car fact he's got spare key I'll show you
the spare so this is Dean's uncovered piece of key so it's just a just a black
shiny glossy key and what you told me which was quite cool is the buttons on
the key correspond to which part of the car it will open so pushing on the side
here will open the gold wing doors pushing on here will open the trunk
that's just standard lock button and then pushing on the back here will open
the rear boot this is a well thought out piece of design so just why I'm starting
the back will open the gold wing doors
okay just why I'm in the back we'll open the Goldwing doors and we'll open the
other side
and then they also shut in the same way
just cool
now a suspension this is quite cool you can obviously you can adjust it for
getting in and out easier the default is low which is the most efficient at high
speed but you can also if you set it to high it comes up with the auto raising
location so if you're going down the road where this speed bumps or there's
potholes and everything you set high on there and it remembers on the GPS for
next time and automatically put you see you in high suspension mode choice so it
softens that she's going down like a un made Road and you always put it on
very high when you go down that road yeah you'll have to do it once it
remembers if you don't want it to do that you just press that cross there I'm
just gonna go wash Dean's car
he's lent me his car might as well give it a wash
now according to the camera system I'm gonna miss that it's not my car I'm not
taking that risk
driving a Tesla I am driving at Tesla it's not mine
sadly I'm only driving it round the back of the garage to give it a wash but I am still
driving a Tesla
Dean you made all my dreams come true thank you very much
I've got to sit play and drive a Tesla
I can say this is the best day of my life because I've not got married yet
and I probably still say after I've got married time to give it a wash
one other little thing I like about Tesla they don't take themselves too seriously
little Easter egg press and hold the T access code 007 okay you get
the lotus from the bond film it got the update that gave it I think it was
from six seconds to 60 to 4.9 so it actually got faster by software update
and then I did another update gave you the chill mode acceleration so it just
says chill above the above the speed dial on there yes so even though you've
already bought the car you've already paid for it
Tesla keep giving you new car every time to give you an update
basically yeah now the chill mode I'll leave it in chill mode most of the time
although it can do 0-60 four point nine and prefer it's just like I
think you know like the Mercedes has got a really soft accelerator pedal
like that basically so it's nice and smooth because its got that much torque
you just touch the throttle if you've got kids or car full of passengers your
giving him whiplash every two seconds because every time you touch the
throttle if he just catch the throttle bit hard it lurches forwards so that's
that softens all that and it reduces you 0 to 60 down to eight seconds which
is still more than adequate for 95% of the time "yeah" different steering modes
quite common on a lot of cars you can adjust the regen I always have that one
standard range mode that give you it reduces the power to the aircon and
optimizes the motors a little bit to give you a little bit more efficiency is
this the two-wheel drive motor version or the four-wheel they've only ever done
the four-wheel drive in the X in the X that's Dean he's a runner of a
