Welcome to Petrol Ped: Midweek 180 Film Review

Hey guys and welcome to Petrol Ped! I'm excited to share with you my latest midweek update, where I bring you news, views, and information about upcoming reviews, all filmed in one take. This week's review is of the Tesla Model Y, which was quite an ambitious project for me. As you can see, we've just finished filming the review, but I haven't edited it yet, so bear with me.

The Review Process

I have to say, this was the most ambitious video I've ever made. I had a ridiculous idea over a cold beer last night and thought, "Let's try that!" And, as you can see, we succeeded. The review is filmed entirely in one take, which adds an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability to the experience.

The Leaderboard

Last week, Mark C was our leader with 9 points on the bounce. This week, I'm hoping to make it 10 points by joining forces with my fellow YouTubers: François Gleanne, Jackson Paul, Mead, Jimmy The Hutt, Malcolm Brew, and Michael Kember. Whoever comes out on top next week will be our new leader, so let's see who it is!

The First Seven Comments

We're going to feature the first seven comments in this week's "Magnificent Seven" section. Our first commenter, Flat Sixers70, was on holiday in Russia and the South of France. I chose you because we only got back from our own holiday last Saturday, and I'm already missing it! So, wherever you are right now, put your comment in, and I'll give you a shoutout next week.

Your Definition of a Driver's Car

Last week, we asked for your definition of a driver's car. We received so many interesting responses, ranging from manual lightweight engaging classics to modern-day supercars. This week, we're asking a new question: once you've got a hosepipe ban, what are your plans for keeping your car clean? Do you just let it go and dust off the interior, or do you take extra precautions?

F1's Summer Break

Formula 1 is heading into its summer break, which means the action will slow down until August 26th in Spa. Meanwhile, news has been abuzz with Sebastian Vettel's retirement from F1. He'll be replaced by Fernando Alonso, who's moving to Aston Martin on a multi-year contract. However, Mercedes looks like it's in good shape for the second half of the season.

New Car News: MG4 EV

I'm really excited about this new car news: the MG4 EV! As an owner of the MZs EV, I've had the pleasure of experiencing what electric vehicles can offer. This new model has three different trim levels, starting from £25,995 to £31,495, with range options ranging from 218 miles to 281 miles. What's interesting is that MG offers a seven-year warranty for this car.

Fuel Prices

Finally, let's talk about fuel prices. With the rise in energy costs, it's essential to be mindful of our expenses at the pump. If you're an owner or plan on buying an electric vehicle soon, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you've managed with fuel prices. Do you have any tips or tricks for keeping your EV running smoothly and efficiently?

The Upcoming Review: Petrol Ped Talks Tesla Model Y

In our upcoming review, we'll be talking about the Tesla Model Y, but not just its specs. I'll be sitting down with Andrew, a friend of mine who owns two Teslas, to discuss what it's like living with a Tesla. We'll cover everything from the car's features to what owners rave about their experiences with the brand. Tune in on Friday at 6 PM to see our full review!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys and welcome to petrol ped and welcome to this week's midweek 180 film from inside my mate tesla model y i've just finished filming the review on this car i'm going to tell you more about it in a little while it was the most ambitious video i've ever made i had a ridiculous idea last night over a cold beer and thought let's try that and we tried it and it worked i haven't edited it yet if probably all the footage hasn't worked anyway i'm waffling if you haven't seen one of these before this is my midweek update where i bring in my news views and information about upcoming reviews all filmed in one take i'm going to put 180 seconds in the bottom right hand corner of your screen and that's it a very simple format so without further ado let's get cracking with this week's midweek 180. much to talk about i shall start my timer okay leader of the fact last week was mark c that is nine on the bounce could you make it ten this week then you're going to retire apparently joined in the magnificent seven by francois g leanne jackson paul mead jimmy the hutt malcolm brew and michael kember uh so whoever what's the first comment this week you'll be my leader back next week and the first seven comments will be in my magnificent seven where are you and what you're doing well that was flat sixers70 who was on holiday in russian in the south of france and i picked you because we only got back from the south of france on saturday and i'm missing it already like me tan anyway wherever you are right now and whatever you're doing put in the comments and i'll give you a shout out next week last week's question was your definition of a driver's car there were so many different views on this very wide opinion um manual lightweight engaging some classics there was a whole range of stuff really interesting this week's question we've got another heat wave in the uk coming this week and lots of talk about hosepipe bands i think it's highly likely that within the next week most of us are going to get a host pipe ban so quick question once you've got a hosepipe ban what are your plans for keeping your car clean how do you keep your car clean during a hosepipe ban or do you just not bother and let it go all dusty formula one's headed into its uh summer break it's not back till the 26th of august in spa i guess news to cover uh sebastian vettel retiring sad to see him leave the sport um alonso moving to aston to take his place albon getting a multi-year um contract with william some interesting stuff but the mercedes is in a good place i think to come back after the summer break and really take it to ferrari and to red bull i think verstappen's uh got the title this year though um new car news is this now so this is the mg4 ev i just thought it was a really interesting car i i love my mg zs ev that i had as money one of my handy long termers this has three different trim levels starting from 25 995 going all the way up to the top spec one at 31 495. um the the standard basic one's got 218 miles of range the the long range uh versions have 281 miles so that makes it quite practical and mg give you a seven year warranty which i still think is is right up there i just think that's a really really interesting car and then the last thing i wanted to just talk about was what your views are on fuel prices i don't know about where you live where i live we're starting to see a little bit of a reduction in the cost of fuel but only by a matter of pence maybe five pence or something but i was only reading this morning that the the price of crude oil is now dropped hugely and and realistically there's probably a 30 or 40 drop in the price of fuel that could be made what are your thoughts on it are the oil companies basically profiteering have they got reasons for it i know it's always the four core owners that set the price and and have the challenges but for me i think something needs to happen i think fuel should come down a little bit and that is the end of my timer last thing to talk about and i was waiting for the timer because i just want to talk to you about the film i've just made with this tesla model y i've wanted to get into a model y for a while um a couple of years ago when i had the s4 i actually seriously looked at buying a model y but at that time you couldn't order one and then by the time the order book opened we got rid of the s4 and with long-term cars and press cars and things we just literally just don't need to buy a car right now but this would be right up on the list if i did i'd never driven one before i've driven a model s and a model x so i decided to do something a bit crazy so i've just filmed a review of this car in one take now i know i do my midweek 180 in one take but this one take that's outside inside and driving driving with four cameras running all in one take and we did it the first take as well so you've got to tune in on friday at 6. i haven't edited it yet it might not turn out great but we literally just reviewed this car i got andrew who owns he's a good friend of mine he's on two teslas to talk about the car not just the spec but also things like what it's like to live with a tesla what people rave about them as living with the best evs you can what's it like if you're an owner so i got andrew on camera and we talked through it and it's really really interesting so tune in on friday at six o'clock for that i've got to go and edit it now but anyway hopefully it'll be right i hope you enjoyed that one i am waffling on a little bit but if you enjoyed that one please give me a thumbs up comments below are always welcome and if you haven't done so already please subscribe to petroped for plenty more content to come
