How to drive a new G63 free for a year

Hi all! I am sure people who frequent this forum are well aware of this, but consider this my PSA for everybody else. Thoughts and opinions welcome!

Edit: Yes, it's my video. No, I am not a professional videographer so don't expect professional content and a flashy video. Just putting my experience out there so it can help someone who might not otherwise consider a car like this.

Is that your video, or just one you found on YouTube? My opinion of the video is that it was agonizingly slow to watch. The information could have been delivered succinctly in half the time while remaining interesting to watch. If it's your video, then I offer my apologies as I'm not trying to be harsh. However, watching a somewhat static shot of the dashboard as the narrator meanders through his stream of conciousness thoughts about the topic is almost painful to sit through.

Critique of the video style aside, the info isn't bad. Maybe not 100% accurate, but it conveys the gist of it. If you can sit through the video you can pick up some information that is useful if your intention is to try and drive one for free. Not sure when this was shot, but lead times are getting even longer, and finding dealers who not only sell at MSRP, but also are getting any alocations that aren't already spoken for in the next 18 months is getting tougher.

It's my video, and I sincerely apologize for causing you so much pain.

As I said, my apologies if it came across as harsh. That wasn't my intention, but rather to give some insight as to how to improve them for the future. Kuddos to you for creating this type of content. It's certainly more than I have done.
