Hey everyone! I know a lot of you have been wondering what’s going on after my recent post. I’ve been getting tons of messages, and I totally get why you’re all confused. For those of you who just started following our channel, I’m sorry for throwing you off. But for those who’ve been with our family for a while, you already know—we’ve shared so many amazing moments together.
Well... Nate’s got himself a new baby!
So What’s the “Baby,” Really?
I’ll let him explain it himself. Nate immediately cut me off: “Don’t tell people I’ve got another baby! I don’t know what my wife’s talking about—I don’t have any baby... well, I do, but not the kind you’re thinking of!”
If you’ve been following our channel for a while, you already know Nate’s new love is his Tesla. And now, he just got a new one—a 2021 Performance model. That’s the “baby” he’s talking about!
He’ll explain everything once we get to the car tour, but let me tell you—he’s acting like it’s his real child! Honestly, he’s so obsessed. Every time I get in the car, he’s like, “Babe, don’t make a mess, don’t touch that!” He’s completely lost it!
Nate jumps in: “Hey, all I said was that this is my baby. That’s my idea—no eating, no breathing, no farting in my car!”
Alright, fine. He’ll give you all the details in the tour. Love you guys! See you soon!
Let’s Talk About the Features
You’ve already seen the short clips of the car’s exterior and interior—everything’s white! White interior, white exterior, with red brake calipers—I love that. There’s even a panoramic sunroof. I really missed having one, but let’s get to the fun part: the features!
Entertainment System – Next Level
When you get into a car, you don’t expect all of this. It’s insane! On the infotainment screen, there’s so much you can do. I can make calls, check my calendar, and see cameras—there are cameras everywhere: side, rear, front—you name it. I can stream music and so much more.
But let’s focus on the fun part. Imagine you’re waiting for your food at a restaurant or waiting to pick up your kids—well, these days, maybe waiting for them to log off their computers, right? But look—you’ve got a whole arcade of games to play while sitting in your car! It’s wild!
There’s even a “Theater” tab—Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Twitch—you can watch tutorial videos about the car while sitting there. Nothing to do? Just fire up Netflix and relax!
Or if I’m on a romantic date with my wife and we want to set the mood—watch this. I hit the “Romance” button, then “Get Cozy.” The heat turns on, a fireplace appears on the screen, and romantic music starts playing. Amazing!
Insane Power
Now let’s talk about performance—0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, guys! That’s ridiculously fast. Sure, there are faster cars out there, but for a regular, street-legal daily car? This thing is crazy!
Unique Features
There’s so much more. I can literally create music inside the car. You can make your own beats and tracks right here. There’s also a sketchpad—great for doodling or keeping the kids busy.
And then there’s Ludicrous Mode—when you activate it, the car turns into a spaceship. The screen transforms into a light-speed animation with stars flying past. It’s unbelievable!
If I tap “Mars,” the map changes to Mars. If I enable “Santa Mode,” the dashboard display turns into Santa’s sleigh on “Rainbow Road.” There’s even a submarine mode that makes your car look like it’s underwater!
And the Boombox feature? Haven’t tried that yet, but apparently, it turns your car into a sound system. You can play music, honk custom sounds—even fart noises! It’s crazy. You can prank people by setting it to fart when you turn right!
In-Car Games
You won’t find this in regular cars. There are tons of games—Solitaire, Asteroids, Beach Buggy Racing—and you use the real steering wheel and pedals! It’s so much fun. And don’t worry, once you exit the game, everything goes back to normal driving mode instantly. Just don’t think you’re still in the game when you hit the road!
Autopilot and Safety
This car has four driving modes: Chill, Sport, Ludicrous, and Ludicrous Plus. Ludicrous Plus is no joke—0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds feels like a roller coaster!
It has autopilot and full self-driving capabilities. It can already drive itself—I’m not even touching the wheel right now and it’s turning on its own. With “Summon,” the car literally drives itself to you. You can be inside a restaurant while it’s raining, hit “Come to me,” and the car will pull up right where you are.
I’ve used it a few times—though I’m still getting used to it in traffic—but it’s amazing. It even detects stop signs and traffic lights, showing them on-screen. If you’re distracted and the light turns green, it’ll alert you to go. No more honking from the car behind you!
360 Cameras and Charging
There’s a built-in dashcam and “Sentry Mode.” When you park and lock the car, it automatically records any activity nearby—anyone who bumps or approaches it. You can view all the footage right from the screen—front, rear, left, right—everything.
And of course, no more gas stations—it’s fully electric. I charge it in my garage every night like a phone. It gives me around 340 miles per charge, maybe 389 on a long trip. Honestly, I never run out of power. I haven’t been to a gas station—except when I’m filling up my wife’s car or grabbing snacks!
Sound System and LED Lights
All my music preferences are saved right here. I’ll show you later tonight when I pull the car out of the garage—the LED system I installed. Tesla doesn’t come with built-in ambient lighting, so I added aftermarket LEDs that sync with the music. You can change colors, make them flash, strobe, all kinds of effects.
About the White Interior
I know many of you are wondering—why all white? Isn’t it hard to keep clean? Surprisingly, it’s super easy to wipe down! It’s soft, smooth, and cleans up like nothing. They told me to just use a Mr. Clean wipe, and they were right—it wipes perfectly clean in seconds.
I’m so happy, you guys. I’m beyond excited to start this new journey with our “baby” Tesla!
