Fine video but the issue I have with Kyle is his constant contradictions and talking about things he knows nothing about like he's an expert. For example, he went on and on about how bad charging is and then moments later says its just fine and on par with every other EV truck.

I agree! He puts out some confusing takes on charging. It seems he thinks that the faster the charge curve at higher SoC, the better (with no regard to longevity/safety). That seems to be his reasoning for saying Tesla does charging poorly.
Sounds great, but it's only part of the picture.

we're Smartest & Dumbest too-US is Tesla's birthplace but still tons of citizens have no idea how brilliant EVs are-specially Tesla. And there're stupidly ignorant who get caught by Sentry Mode. :D

He never mentions the SAWD comes with a basic pleated paper cabin air filter, not the premium HEPA filter.

Probably because it's so easy to put the deluxe HEPA filter in there the first time you change it. Sure, the HEPA filter probably costs $30-$40 more than the basic cabin filter but that's not enough to differentiate it during a video that is meant to be informative to someone trying to decide which model to buy.

Yeah well he has his fair share of issues. The notoriety his channels have received gives him a microphone he doesn't really deserve and the flip flopping is an attempt to appear unbiased. In any case, I would never knowingly buy a vehicle he had used first. :cautious:

I personally like his reviews. They seem fairly balanced, and focused on things the general public would appreciate, along with data that a lot of other reviewers skip overs. I’m grateful for his real world range and charge testing, and referred to a lot of his videos when researching different products.

Both of those things can be true.

Compared to other EV reviews, especially those from major Auto news outlets, they are brilliant.
