What its REALLY Like Owning an Electric Vehicle #EV



What its REALLY Like Owning an Electric Vehicle #EV

12 months ago almost to the day I bought this gem right here that beauty that is a 2022 Audi rron GT and I stole the thing that had an original MSRP of $13,000 just 6 months after I paid $882,000 12 months later that car has plummeted like just took a nose dive and

Is worth Pennies on the dollar and I’m going to take a beating on it that isn’t what today’s video is about today’s video what is it like owning an electric vehicle like not a Tesla like an actual electric vehicle car is amazing it’s one of my most favorite cars it’s been 12

Months and in today’s video I’m going to walk you through it through the winter through the summer through charging issues through the goods the bads all of it like I’m going to show you the truth what is it like owning an electric vehicle I’m going to show you what it’s

Like to own that car for 12 months to the date my name is Craig from flying Wheels let’s get [Applause] going okay so this car is by far one of my most favorite cars it’s fast it’s fun it fits my family it’s classy it’s luxurious now to be quite honest with you I had a Porsche tyon and it was like the sister car to this it’s the better

Version it was too much not like too much money it was too much like it was just too much driving around a Porsche that’s why I like Audi’s more than Porsches it’s just like a nice clean level there’s no weird stigmas to them and the car is just so sporty and so fun

And I liked my takon electric vehicle I traveled all the way across the country in it for a television show charge Across America with my mother I learned so much about EVS then I sold it and I missed it now the takon was rear wheeel drive the Audi rron GT is Quattro it’s

All-wheel drive and I live in New Hampshire so I wanted it for the winter and we had it in the winter I’m going to flash back to that very shortly and show you what it’s like driving in the snow because it’s an absolute blast now it’s

I I can’t call it a superar because although it has the RS Wheels it is not AC actually an RS it’s a premium plus so it’s just above like their base model version but it’s weird to say that base model version It’s $103,000 car it has the Alcantara interior the Alcantara

Steering wheel the plastic wood grain and when you get in the car and hit the start button it says hello and it’s just really really a cool car and I drive it every day which is why it’s dirty and I’ve driven it every day just now it

Currently has 10,000 miles on it I bought it with roughly 7,000 M I believe and the only reason I only put 3,000 M on it is because it is a secondary vehicle for me having an electric car I can’t have it be my primary vehicle because you’ll I’ll show you in a little

Bit you’ll see why it’s like having a Wrangler having a Wrangler as a primary vehicle you learn to hate the car but when it’s your secondary vehicle for fun you love the car and that’s what this is right here now check this out look at how wide these rear tires are and an

Issue that I’m having with it that I’ve noticed trunk space like the trunk space is it looks decent right but when you put stuff here this area is really bulky and it won’t close so I’ve had a lot of frustration with the car in the trunk space which is really frustrating

Because it’s kind of like a hatchback or a Fastback or whatever you call this you’d think there’d be more space than there is which is why I actually want to take on Cross Turismo so that’s a good segue into upcoming videos I’m going to try to sell this thing and I feel like

I’m just going to take an absolute bath on it we’re going to take it to an auction in the video number two and or video number three and I also have a video about these values which might have already come out so it’s a three-part series let’s like I’ve

Already been talking too much let’s just jump back to the day I bought it I’m going to dive right into this video by saying that it is freezing in New Hampshire and I am an electric vehicle but check this out you’ll see right here

It’s 24° I had to get my son to the bus stop and this car is completely Frozen and I could connect through my Audi app to turn on somehow so it would defrost but I don’t know how to do that doesn’t even matter because look at this it’s

Been 3 minutes and what’s cool about having electric vehicles instant heat all the vents are instantly hot and my windshield is completely thaw as well as my rear window like almost instantly I get in this car and it is near never cold I noticed that with my corer take

On too like I get in it’s warm almost right away and it’s really really a cool feature I didn’t expect it makes sense does you don’t have to use the engine temperature to warm up your cars just like right away hot and just maybe 10

Minutes and I’m at the gym and wanted to show you kind of cool how the roof thaws I don’t really understand how it works but that part of the roof is Tha now car is still frozen but windows are Tha as well headlights still frozen the next

Day so this video is going to upset my wife and here is why when we left our house this morning at 7:00 a.m. I had 150 Mi of range on my car we had to go 30 minutes away which was 26 Mi on the

Highway 26 Mi back and I have to pick up my daughter as well so under 60 M total I at 150 Mi of range we’re now at 46 M of range left so we haven’t even driven the 60 Mi yet and we’ve used over 100 m

Of range which means by the time I get home I’m going to be done like this car is not going to be able to be used for the rest of the day unless I charge it at a charging station which means we need to stop at a charging

Station see told you we need to stop at a charging station before we go pick up our daughter which isn’t like hey let’s go fill up the car we need to get some gas we need to wait for 30 minutes and go get some lunch no they have to get so

What do we do to get fix up here we go so problem here we go what’s the solution there is one we run out of charge by the time we get home and then I have to use my regular gas engine for the rest of the day and you’ll see right

There 45 Mi this said 68 Mi 10 minutes ago so we haven’t driven 23 mi in 10 minutes and I’m driving regular speeds we’re not going super fast and we’re on flat surface Highway and I’m in efficiency mode as well are we really going to the mall yeah I have to charge

The car she needs to be picked up I know and we’re not going to make it we’re not going to make it to the house and back and Park Boulevard and tell her about the car problems of having an electric vehicle why don’t you just charge it

Over night I had it at 150 miles last night because I had it at 150 mil I didn’t need to charge it we aren’t driving 150 Mi we aren’t even driving 100 miles I should be completely fine so I didn’t have so like I have to plan

Ahead for a trip now you have to have a full charge every time you want to use your car doesn’t even make sense we should have been able to have plenty of electricity or whatever to make our trip and get back home and then charge it tonight a few moments later I’m texting

What are you texting we’re going to be a little more little later than expected my husband had to charge his car cuz he didn’t plan accordingly now just then Dad did it plan accordingly and now we have to stopic all right right and just to put in perspective we’ve only driven 3 mil

Since I started this clip and we’ve used 7 m of range in 3 miles so this is completely useless you cannot go by what you have for range this was well over half of a tank half of a charge half of a battery way over that and I’ve driven

40 Mi maybe 50 Mi maybe and I’m near zero so extremely frustrating not just for me and here we are at an Electrify America which is about 30 minutes my house but it happened to be on the way like right off the highway so it’s not terribly inconvenient it is 11:17 right

Now we are plugged in and we are paying 37 cents a minute to charge when I have it at a significantly reduced rate at my house I could have charged it at my house last night but I shouldn’t have needed two all right we’re at 19% at

1117 let’s see what it is in like 15 minutes meanwhile you’ll see you either go into the mall or you wait in your car like this guy while your car charges up to 80% he’s been there for 29 minutes so the guy next to us has been in his car

For 29 minutes sitting 20 minutes later it’s been exactly 20 minutes let’s go see where we’re at love New England love New England standing out in the cold while our car charges let’s see where we’re at after lunch $953 it’s been 27 minutes we got 50% charge let’s see where we’re at for

Mileage like range all right so it took just about 30 minutes our car is on we were at 41 M of range $10 put us at 120 M range 50 50% charge now this drops significantly as soon as we get moving so 120 M of range remember this

4540 cuz we’re going to pick up my daughter who doesn’t live who isn’t far from here 4540 and 120 Mi electric cars are meant for people that have just a lot of free time sit around in your car like that BMW person and take some time yeah and

So we’re still at the pump we’ve gone down 2 miles we’re at 118 mil already 118 Mi just now leaving the charger we’ve gone down 2 Mes in range just to give it benefit of the doubt I’m going to put it in efficiency mode all right so we’ll just be as efficient as

Possible and it’s all highway driving from here until we grab our daughter we just left the mall parking lot and we’ve used 5 miles of range from the charger to the exit of the mall so that’s how like skewed yeah how skewed the range system is it doesn’t even make sense now

On the road something else that is slightly annoying like one would think that this glass roof is kind of cool but there’s no shade to cover it so it’s tinted glass you see the sun it’s behind a cloud right now the sun is just beaming on my face which I don’t like

Sunroofs so nice though it yeah it’s a cool feature it’s awesome but I would like a shade so I have the option of using it and not just have the sun in my face all right we have stopped at our destination we’ve gone 13 mil but used

17 what 19 mil of range in 13 miles so it’s slightly skewed from like in just 13 miles we use an extra what eight miles seven miles 7 milish so you can’t use this let’s see what we’re at by the time we get home think about this too so

We were only highway driving like Prime conditions I was I wasn’t speeding I wasn’t on the gas onto the brake so like Peak conditions of driving we still use 7 extra miles 6 extra miles which is like 30% extra so it’s skewed by a 30% Factor all right we’re parked home so

You can see we’ve driven 23 Mi and we’ve used 32 Mi worth of range in 20 3 miles so there’s about a 30% margin of error on your like length distance whatever which isn’t acceptable like we use 30% more juice charge electricity today than I anticipated which made us stop for an

Emergency stop when we were on a time schedule versus had I Ed my A8 or my S6 we could go 400 plus miles on a tank of gas and not have to worry about stopping for a charge or having to stop for 30- minute lunch while the car charges I

Just fill it up for $60 and go so I just got home and check this out my wife took the rron today this is her favorite car plugged it back in she’s charging it for me now that right there is my andam portable charger that clicks right into

Here turn it off right here unplug it and it will click in right there it actually comes with a 25t cable plugs right into my 240 amp that I used for the original charger for that car this one actually charges a lot quicker and you can see how portable and clean it

Was my Audi charger the portable charger is actually like it bends the cord in this position I like this one much more so just like from the manufacturer this charging kit comes in a convenient traveling case that can fit in my trunk everything fits right in here so once

It’s plugged into my wall like so I can just take the charging cord plug it in right there and it’s ready for my next use all right test so my end charger is wired up it’s all set up my car we went out tonight dinner date night with my

Wife let’s go see where my car is at right now what time it is I’m going to plug it in and we’ll see where we’re at tomorrow this charger is supposed to be pretty quick so we’re going to take it right here let’s first see where we’re

At open my car up turn it on we have we have 111 M of range it is 1118 p.m. we’re going to shut the car off I’m going to unplug it here right from the wall plug it in right there make sure it’s charging right here and

There we go I just it’s charging I can hear it in the car we’ll see where we’re at tomorrow the next morning well it’s the next morning first of all honorable mention to all of my 80s and ’90s bicycles I would love to know what your favorite bicycle is out about my super

Scooter my Sonic 6 my Dino air my Dino my Haro screen my GT Performer my Mongoose from stranger things let’s see where we’re at right now so we’ve been charging for 5 hours and 11 minutes actually looks like it’s stopped at 5 hours and 11 minutes all right we’ll

Unlock the car hit our red button we’ll unplug from here we’ll plug in right there all right so 920 so it’s like 10 hours but it said it only charged for 5 hours 243 Mi of range to be seriously honest with you this car comes with a

Charger that looks similar to that one doesn’t have all the digital display I’ll charge it all night and I’ll get back with like 200 Mi 180 Mi so it timed itself it told me how long it charged it brought it to the highest range I’ve

Ever seen and it did it all on its own which is really great so 100% a product I would recommend today’s video is brought to you by the Ender hs1 EV charger which is what I have set up currently and I’m charging my Audi with I actually prefer it over my factory

Audi EV charger they’re both portable chargers but this one has a 32 Amp Max output 7.68 KW charging which is actually eight times faster charging and giv me up to 23 M of range in just under an hour I like it because of the space and the portability it also comes with a

Charging cable a hook a wall mount and a storage bag I showed you earlier but the charging cable is 25 ft long and it makes it suitable for all types of charging stations garages power sources and parking environments I also downloaded the smart app that connects

Directly to it on my phone it comes with a remote control to set timing and I can adjust the currents uh it also helps me manage charging times and shows me statistics as well if you want to try it for yourself there is is a link in the

Description to check it out the next day I did come across another issue I just left Hot Yoga it’s 7:00 a.m. and I am soaked soaking soaking soaking wet my shorts like I’m not going to show you they’re I can ring them out I don’t know how I feel about like having sweaty

Clothes on Alcantara like suede does Suede and sweat match is my are my soaking wet shorts just being absorbed into my interior I I love this raid but I don’t want to get them wet right 1 hour later it’s been at least an hour and I’m pretty sure that’s a sweat stain

Maybe yeah I think it is that’s disgusting and now my pants are absorbing my sweat from an hour ago okay and along with the sweaty yoga mornings I have another issue with the alcantar seats this kid just got out of wrestling soaking wet and he stinks like a

Donkey’s butt is that smell going to you smell so bad it’s unbearable it’s unbearable teenager sweat um puberty sweat is that stink going to absorb into my Alcantara and then my seats are going to smell terribly tomorrow we will find out probably the next day another road

Trip we’re going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship we are going on a trip in my favorite rocket ship nothing no nothing all right so we are at 204 miles of range I charged on Friday it’s now Sunday I have to go up to my

Sister’s which is over an hour away it’s like an hour and 20 and an hour and 20 back back 204 M of range left we’re at like 80% will we make it something we have to consider when going on Long rides trying to go green try to save the

Planet you guys look uncomfortable back there instead of driving your mom’s gas hog trying to help your carbon what do you call it when I’m counteracting your carbon footprint I guess that’s what I’m trying to do by driving this but now you guys are all smushed in the back I have

Printing his legs right hey at least you’re going green you can feel good about saving the planet sure uncomfortable all the Cobalt yeah yeah all the Cobalt and mercury and lithium that uh third world countries have dug up and died for us to do this think

About that for us to save the planet and feel good about ourselves so this car is run by dead people I don’t know how many lives it took to build this car chase but possibly all right tell me your complaints again the seats are so uncomfortable Logan do you concur yeah

They go like in and then w you go in there’s like B how’s Chase doing he’s spreading like this he’s going like the one thing I I don’t like it’s because of how unhappy these two are and now they’re all blaming it on me but you guys are saving the planet

With every mile we drive this is that cool so one of the things that I do not like is the lane alert adaptive cruise control I’m cruising right now and it’s actually not doing anything so the cruise control is set but it will swerve right over the Lane which is kind of

Like in ping ponging between dotted line on this side dotted line on this side but the other thing is like if I want to go into the lane it’s very hky jerky so if I don’t use my directional it’ll correct me over real harsh if I use my

Directional it’ll allow me to so if any BMW owners are transitioning to Audi you know BMW owners don’t use directionals that was the joke tough luck because you need to use your directional to change lanes on the highway otherwise it’s going to jerky right back in a lanee

Even if you’re under power with your own hands trying to steer it in and out of the lanes I’ve noticed that too like if I just kind of Veer over it will correct me as well so it’s very much in control more than I am and I have to manually

Maneuver it back and forth the other thing too is opposite of everything I just said keeping me in the lanes sometimes if I let go I’ll swerve right out of the lane which is odd too because it’s the opposite of everything I just talked about every once in a while it

Will just let me go into the other lane like right now it’s correcting but every once in a while you see I’m going to ping pong y ping ponging back and forth instead of standing straight in the middle but every once in a while it’ll just let me

Veer over like I can hit the median wall please take over steering and pay attention to traffic Taran loves when I take her car to work for service cuz then she gets to drive the Audi EV just uh videoing your super cool EV well today I’m taking my son to Boston for a

Jurassic world like live event show so I’m going from New Hampshire to Boston which is about an hour drive so an hour there hour back I had to Cognizant think last night to charge my car like I can’t go on 50% range and hope we’re going to

Make it so last night I think to myself okay Craig charge the car overnight so we have full charge to get to Boston back which is only an hour away the true test is today cuz we are going back to Boston so we went to Boston last night

My Dopey kid dragging right dragging sticks and then he hits my Cobra so we went to Boston last night with my son today we’re going back to Boston with my wife I charged the car last night but I drove it all day today so now I’m not at

100% then tomorrow morning we’re going back to Boston again for my daughter’s piano recital so our there our back our there our back so I’m going to have to make sure I come back tonight and charge the car overnight otherwise we’re not going to make it to Boston tomorrow all

Right so we are at 192 Mi of range pardon shut up this car built in 2022 doesn’t have on demand prompts correct like correct on demand prompts watch how difficult it is for me to find the one hotel and casino near me navigate me to Encore Hotel and Casino searching for

Destinations one moment please it got at first try this time voucher me please many many times it sent me to Louisiana it sent me to New York it sent me to Canada and it never once sorry I could not find any results for your request here we go

2022 no Encore Hotel and Casino near me so yes it’s still not working even though it got what I said correctly so check this out I didn’t even think of this we’re at The Encore Hotel and Casino comes with free EV charging so we can charge our car first of all we got

Priority parking they have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Chargers we can charge our car like premium parking and charge our car for free while we’re here so I didn’t even have to think about the range to get here and back let’s see where we’re

At while we’re here all right so we have driven 45.8 miles we were at 190 what were we at when we left it was 190 I think now we’re at 154 so we’ve used 46 Mi we’ve driven 46 Mi so it is like spoton according to highway driving without

Stop go so range was perfect all the spots have been filled up it’s like 3:00 a.m. it’s wicked late here I’m not driving home parking for electric cars I’m curious to just see where we’re at 247 Mi look at free charging 247 mies I’m done I’m not I’m definitely not

Driving home so we’re going to take an Uber home my daughter has piano lessons tomorrow so we’ll Uber back here no actually my wife will bring me back here tomorrow and I have a full charge so that actually works out really really well until tomorrow the next day and

What a night it was we are back push this button release we’ll check our charge got an Uber home last night got home at 3:15 in the morning up at 6:00 a.m. for a piano recital back to the casino to pick up my car and are you all

Say you can have the front if you want to now here’s the issue luckily there are plenty of parking spaces now once the EV population grows I took up an EV spot all night like I couldn’t move this last night I had a couple drinks which wouldn’t have been appropriate so I left

My car in a charging spot for near 24 hours taking up space But Here we are 247 Mi 100% range all for the low low price of free I found a flaw in the Eevee world something you would never in a million years predict no engineer

Could have ever planned for this here is an issue I found with owning an EV so this is my 2022 Audi rron GT at night I’ll plug it in right here and I’ll leave it plugged in when it’s done charging or the next morning I’ll unplug

It and I leave now here’s the problem I’ve been smelling this wretched wretched stank it smells so bad over here every time I unplug the car so notice this door doesn’t close easily and it kind of sticks out right here here’s why I crunched a frog so

Overnight while the car was charging a frog climbed in there and then I must have squashed it with my door and it rotted and it smells absolutely horrendous again something no engineer could have ever planned for in a million years but now I have a dead rotten frog

In my charging door that smells awful oh my goodness oh yuck so we have come across an issue it is 5:31 a.m. we had some serious rain last last night and the road to my gym is flooded now if this was like a truck or even a regular internal combustion

Engine I would have no worry about driving through this in my electric vehicle however this is concerning I don’t know how deep I can go with a battery like this is not a good thing look at how I don’t know how deep this is and I can’t imagine that this is good

For my car I’ve actually seen that look at that it’s created a uh Whirlpool so here is another issue last night my wife and I took this beauty to Boston again clearly we go to Boston a lot and today we have to drive way up to Lake winaki so we drove an

Hour south hour back North now we have to go an hour and a half north and then an hour and a half back can’t do it all in one day without stopping for a charge so I can’t charge it at home fast enough like I don’t think this charger is going

To get us to even 80% or 100 definitely not 100% before we need to leave this afternoon I’m going to try it so I’m going to plug it in now see where we’re at and then like maybe 2 hours before we leave see where this thing’s at for a

Charge before we go otherwise I’m going to have to stop at Electrify America and charge my car because there isn’t one up north and we’re going to be up there for a couple days all right so we are officially charging this thing that charging port still smells like a rotten

Dead animal so I have to obviously clean it out I thought the stank would just go away it didn’t it is 403 and we have 157 mil of range 63% battery life so we’ll see where we’re at at by like 6:00 and here it’s showing me about 8 and 1/2

Hours almost 9 hours to charge this car to full from 63% I don’t have that kind of time so my wife really doesn’t want to go sit at a charging station for 45 minutes she’s going to have to because I don’t have any other cars here that we

Can take up north two hours later all right it’s been 2 and 1/2 hours is let’s see where we’re at all right we are at 190 Mi we’ve added about 40 mil and we are at 75% says we’d be done at 116 a.m. so we’ve really only added yeah we

Really haven’t added much about 12% battery life and it is 655 so almost 3 hours we’ve added 12% battery life that’s not good which means we’re going to have to stop at a charging station to make it up North so here we are at the Electrify America 11 minutes so far 73%

It has been charging we’re only charging at 26 kW which is really really slow it’s 8:02 p.m. all right let’s see where we’re at we’re pretty much out of stalemate now 9 Kow at 98% total cost me five bucks 72 minutes we’ve been here so actually it wasn’t $5 it was

$13.78 to go from 70% to 98% so this guy came down from Canada and that charger is broken that charger’s broken this charge is broken the only one available is the one I was using so while I was getting dinner he’s stuck just waiting for us to finish charging so he can use

Our charger so my Audi rron that’s a year old and has 7,000 MI has no heat and you may notice that I’m wearing a winter coat because it is getting flipping freezing out it is now fall nearing winter and it is really really cold in New Hampshire my electric

Vehicle has no heat I assume it’s electric heater I I that’s the only possible thing I can assume it’s an electric heater so I had to bring it to the dealer it’s under warranty they did some recalls on it I’m not sure what the recalls were just some Oddities that the

Car had with like under 10,000 miles on it so they gave me an a brand new Audi A5 that has a whopping 732 Mi actually I put 200 of those miles on it so they gave me a near brand new car now as much as I love Audi there are some Oddities

Hate Audi love hate Audi there are some Oddities about Audi like they’ve never mastered the center console like in the history of Audi there has never been a good place to put a cup it’s just really weird like my cup is here I can’t touch any buttons and then if there’s two cups

Forget about it this is all useless but if the cups were here like in my rron they’re also in the way cuz they can’t touch the radio buttons so like here are the radio buttons and the cup holders are in my rron are right here so it’s

Just like the center consoles are so silly like my Audi outroad or the a4s the old ones when You’ pull the emergency brake up it would lift the center console it just nothing makes sense about the center console of an Audi I think that’s my rant about this

A5 otherwise it’s like just an all right car there’s no Pizzazz to it it’s not like super fast it’s not crazy Lu jurrius it’s just an all right car it’s like a Honda it’s like a less reliable more expensive Honda Accord and we are here there is the Audi dealer there is

The Porsche dealer there is a Porsche takon there’s a Panamera I’m ready to get rid of my all my rron and I don’t want to spend a lot of money I’m like in liquidation oh my goodness pan Mara GTS as I was about to say I don’t want to

Spend more money they have cars like that I don’t want that I want that I don’t know why I want a wagon so bad take on GTS look at how good looking those are oh take on Cross Turismo come on guys you brought me here intentionally look at

That car so just like my Eon GT this doesn’t have a lot of trunk space like this is the trunk space and the trunk doesn’t close really really well with anything from here back there’s just no room thecross Turismo on the other hand lots and lots of room oh man that what a

Beautiful beautiful car look at those calipers and rotors so so nice and it has a SRP of a whopping $170,000 now since I bought the rron GT EVS have flopped like people have finally realized that this isn’t the world we want to live in hybrid is where

It’s at and nobody wants to charge for a long periods of time there’s a lot of things that don’t make sense I love my car also like because it’s a secondary vehicle I don’t it’s not my everyday car and if I need something that I can drive

On a longer distance I take an internal combustion engine so it’s a fun backup car kind of like a Jeep Wrangler you don’t want to be your primary vehicle so we’re at the dealer let’s go inside see what it’s going to cost us hopefully nothing it should be under warranty what

They actually did and what it would have cost had it not been under warranty pretty cool that I got a laner for free for a week though got to experience a brand new Audi sine for free sine I don’t know what I got maybe just the wheels cuz it wasn’t really that much

Performance or anything I think it’s just a 20 and while we’re in here check out this 2024 ODI rsq8 this is one level below the Lamborghini irus 23in Wheels look at the size of those calipers and rotors what a car wow carbon fiber lower lips what a beautiful ride this is such

A cool family car and then apparently the rron GTS are still selling cuz here’s another one sold with a window sticker sold for it MSRP of $111,000 some more than mine all right here she is what a goodlooking car you know I think I’ve said more bad about this car

Than good but it is a beautiful beautiful ride and I always say like oh I wish I could have this car I wish I could have that car I how fortunate is it am I that I I’m driving an $103,000 car probably now more like a $60,000 car

One year later but like this is really cool looking all right so I was talking about the cup holder earlier here’s the cup holder it gets not terribly in the way but I can’t really put my arm down and if it’s here like if I have two cups

So if my wife’s with me this cup blocks all the radio right here minor inconvenience but it’s better than having it blocking all of this stuff like the A5 had well all right the repairs not the repairs oh frog in my throat not only was it uh under warranty

It was actually a recall on the heater apparently water gets in the heater the electric heater water electricity don’t mix which is why I don’t understand electric vehicles they did a heater and like a heater hose and a tube and some holders and adhesives and tapes and caps

And I don’t know it’s for all rron GTS and rs rron GT models no no price I would like to know how much this actually would have cost but there was no price on it cool cool like side note I bought an Allroad an for Audi Allroad

The other day at the auction one owner 90 something Thousand Miles so just for fun I’m like hey if I give you the VIN can you look up the service history they found like 8 years worth of service history which is pretty neat so that Allroad came with a little bit of

History which is awesome 4.2 L S5 red interior love those cars look at the hood if you can see I’m going to try to zoom in see how cracked the hood is and that is why I don’t do pain protection film and while we’re here let’s just cruise through Porsche service because

It just makes me smile to see what they have here all right so we have a 911s convertible in blue I wish I was smart enough like well educated enough to know the name of every color but there’s just too many colors so leave me alone all

Right we have another tyon and a Cayman we have a few more 911s we have a Carrera turbo s right right there couple more 911s and there’s one in the color that I love another 911 Turbo S wow look at that car wow see now that I could fit

My whole family in which is why I choose it over the 9 11s they’re just so impractical I have a Ferrari that I can’t drive because I can’t fit my family in it this car takon rsq8 Porsche uh what’s the uh Porsche Cayenne Turbo a little too Mish Lamborghini Urus that

Is end goal last thing I want to say in this segment like two years ago I remember it being snowy and I was like bringing a regular inexpensive maybe $115,000 Audi in for service some recalls and stuff and while I was waiting the guy I was admiring the rron

GT and the salesman’s like why don’t we take it for a ride I believe it was this literal car it was $103,000 I’m like ah it’s snowing and I’m not going to buy it goes no take it for a ride and uh I just remember being so astonished so

Astounded by how good it was in the snow how quick it was and just like the way the steering and everything felt and I just pulled out on that same road in this car near like a year and a half later I think that two years later

Whatever that is so neat life can be really cool sometimes my wife and I stayed at a hotel last night to get to the hotel it was 170 miles so I asked the valet to charge our car overnight they said they’ll try to charge our car we were here two nights they never

Charged our car so now we have to go 125 miles back but we only have 103 M of range and the only charging station is a Chrysler dealership 118 M away which means we can’t make it and it also wants me to charge for over an hour which is

Probably like a trickle charger like a slow charger not a fast charger so we may not just may not make it because we don’t have any enough battery to get home that’s what it’s like owning an EV just there’s no charging stations around our option is to get to putham Chrysler

And charge for 118 minutes so for a commute that is a 2hour commute will actually have to sit at a car dealership for 2 hours and then drive the 2 hours so that’s what it’s like again owning an electric vehicle correction I found an Electrify America 20 mi in the other

Direction so I’m going to have to go backwards in the wrong direction 20 mil and then charge and then come back 20 mi to where I am right now to go 2 hours home so we have like 20 we have a 40 mile back trck so we can get back to

Where we are and then a 2-hour drive home that’s what it’s like behind be been at my son’s football game for 20 minutes or so going to walk back towards my car and I just realized that stupid electric car has been running or on or whatever this whole time so it’s been 12

Months and it’s time to sell it I love it I I’ve had so much fun with it I like it every day every time I get in it I really really thoroughly enjoy driving it but there are some odd things about having an electric vehicle and like I

Said in the beginning of the video I like it as a second car like I drive drive like an Escalade or I have a truck I actually have a few cars and toys and that’s why I’ve only put 3,000 Mi on it or 3,500 miles or whatever so is it worth

$103,000 absolutely not and people have realized that is electric vehicles our future like not really not like I can’t I can’t travel very well the infrastructure is not there and even if it is who wants to sit at a charging station for 45 minutes while you wait

And your car to charge it like there’s a lot of just silly silly things and I’m sure there are better going to be better alna what were your opinions do you like the car was it fun to watch me go through my headaches but I still like it’s still my

Most favorite car whatever I just talk too much and thanks for bearing with me this entire video hey thumbs ups cost you nothing and they’re really really helpful to me if you can hit the thumbs ups and if you like these videos make sure to subscribe and hit the Bell down
