    How to afford a Tesla on a budget - personal finance life hacks

    You're right I probably shouldn't be responding to haters because it does make me a bid defensive. And not, that's not the reason why I ban people from my Facebook group. I usually ban them for being dicks or violating the posting guidelines.

    How to afford a Tesla on a budget - personal finance life hacks

    OK, great, let's agree to disagree. You don't watch my videos from now on and I don't read your posts. Deal?

    How to afford a Tesla on a budget - personal finance life hacks

    How to afford a Tesla on a budget - personal finance life hacks

    Actually it's not that simple. Most people don't always now how much they earn or spend. They also don't always know about some opportunities that they can take to either save or make money. So, just "buy low sell high" type of a concept doesn't work. You have to know more.

    How to afford a Tesla on a budget - personal finance life hacks

    It's not a secret that many Tesla owners are not particularly rich. Many of us find the ways to afford this amazing car on a monthly salary by budgeting and making good financial choices. I have decided to make a video about some of the tips and tricks I use to free up some money in my monthly...

    Quick tip: a simple voice command to find places near you

    This time around I've added the note for people like yourself so you don't have to waste your time if you don't want to. It took me a while to research some of these tips, and video is the media I chose to communicate with. The "tips" videos get the most "thank you, I did not know this" replies...

    Quick tip: a simple voice command to find places near you

    Nobody made you watch the video. I appreciate you suggesting how to manage my time but video is the media I chose to create and it is up to you and the rest to decide if you want to watch it or not. Did you not read my entire post?

    Quick tip: a simple voice command to find places near you

    Another Tesla tip: a simple voice command to find places near you without taking your hands off the wheel! Note: if you are one of the people who knew about this feature - I'd love to hear more tips that you can suggest for everyone. But please remember that some people may not know what you...

    How does Trump quitting Paris Agreement affect Tesla?

    OK, we'll just agree to disagree then, I'm still not sure why we're wasting our time talking about this.

    How does Trump quitting Paris Agreement affect Tesla?

    Any current news related posts get outdated within hours. Nobody is going to add disclaimers to their current events videos, we just assume people understand that the videos are time sensitive. But in this case I thought this was pretty cool that I made the video calling for Musk leaving the...

    How does Trump quitting Paris Agreement affect Tesla?

    Here's why I think Trump quitting the Paris Agreement is not that big of a deal, but also it's time for Elon to leave Trump's advisory board:

    Tip: Automatic High Beams

    $0. If you look at my channel - it is not monetized. And even if it was - what's your point? If I bring value to people with my videos - why wouldn't I get paid? If you don't find my videos helpful or entertaining - don't watch them. But a lot of people do and there is no reason why I shouldn't...

    Tip: Automatic High Beams

    +octane if you look at kort677's other posts on this forum you'll easily figure out that he's trolling most of the posts. That's OK. When you post stuff on the Internet you expect those people to be there. They usually don't add any value to anything themselves. As far as my video is...

    Tip: Automatic High Beams

    "Hidden feature" does not mean a feature that other cars don't have. It also doesn't mean that you can't find it. Some people never looked for it or didn't know what it was. So, to them it was "hidden".

    Tip: Automatic High Beams

    This is yet another, what you may call it, "hidden feature". People who use it find it very useful and I hope that those who don't start using it when you need it. Here's how: Alex

    Tesla's hidden feature for entering address or URL

    WOW, really? Less than 3 minutes to save you much more time than that and it's still too long and inconvenient? LOL BTW, I have not followed your tip as I read it twice. Maybe make a video out of it? :-)

    Tesla's hidden feature for entering address or URL

    I Enjoy the Car, I Really Dislike Tesla the Car Company

    I think the issues you're describing are Tesla as a company type of a thing but more of a crappy customer service. Which is true. I have a video about it and I'm hoping they'll get their *sugar* together soon. I think these are growing pains of a new company. But I don't think Tesla as a company in...

    Window Tinting

    Rumor: First Model 3's will NOT be custom orders, rather pre-built units

    That makes sense. It's kind of like how they did the Model S and Model X - only top of the line configs.

    Have to replace a relatively new tire due to a nail

    I would suggest to get a hazard insurance on your tires for like $20 each or so - that way it will be replaced for free in cases like this one

    New Tesla S 60D

    I think 70D is the best bang for your buck as far as Tesla lineup is concerned but 60 is not bad either. Though it is no longer being made.
