Hoovies Garage Tesla Model S 85

[teebag]

Hello, newbie to both this forum and Tesla's but not EV's, we've had Leaf on our fleet for a few years as a general local run about. I write this while supercharging in Redondo Beach.

As a fan of Hoovies Garage Youtube channel and having loved his updates on his 'cheapest Model S in the country' I heard him utter the magic words 'I'm thinking of selling'... I immediately contacted him and threw a cash deposit his way and two weeks later the excellent Chad from Smart Way Transport delivered the Hoovie Tesla to us from Kansas.

We've already added 1.2k miles to the 112k miles it came with and having given it a full valet inside and out we couldn't be happier with it.

Anywho, glad to be a part of the forum and looking forward to learning lots.

Would love to hear more about its history, is the original owner on here?

Maybe? I was actually just going off what I saw on the YouTube vids and the fact that it’s youtube famous now.

Got ya, yeah it got a fair amount of views. Well hopefully the original owner might see it on here and reply.

You should of had him sign it! I think he should do a Youtube video of the adopted homes that have been part of the Hoovie fleet.

That guy is funny, we've all been down the path of buying certain a car we knew we shouldn't have, yet he keeps doing it (for our entertainment now).

Love Hoovies Garage. He is very talented! Not always correct on his cars but in general he knows what he is doing. One of the VERY few things I watch on regular basis.

He sold the Tesla because it was so reliable that it gave no content to his channel, lol

He talks way too much. But I do like his videos.

Quick update, the car has now got just over 120k miles on it and everything is working perfectly, not a single problem, so yes it wouldn't have made for much content on Hoovies channel. In October I'm going to be driving it from Fresno CA to Austin TX for the Formula 1 grand prix which will be my first really long road trip in it. The battery still charges to 250 miles when full but the route shows 12 stops will be needed to get there so that'll be an experience.

Nice car! It was too reliable for Hoovie to keep, he needs finicky cars to drive his viewership numbers (though I did love his "MY TESLA BATTERY DIED!" video when his fob abttery needed replacing!) I hope it remains as reliable for you as it has been for the first 2 owners.

In my experience Tesla navigation shows too many SC stops. I use it as a suggestion, at least until I'm running really low

Spent the last week 'servicing' the Tesla ready for its road trip to Texas this month... aside from a brake fluid change, 4 wheel alignment, 4 new tires all round (as they were near the markers) and checking everything on the car works, what else should I be checking?
