Recently there's been many more Tesla Model 3s hitting the used auto market. I was wondering myself about things that should be checked when buying a used Model 3 compared to other EVs and vehicles. In this video, I answer that question and cover the main areas you should check if you're wanting to pick up a used Model 3 this year!

The used market of these make it worth a shot for many. 17-24k get you a great car compared to the ICE options out there. Anything good there is in the 27-37k range.

Awesome video! I’m looking to buy and this really helped me. One thing I don’t understand is how do you determine what autopilot version a car has? Also could a sleazy seller code the screen to display a model (dual motor/Performance) that the car isn’t?
@techdevicenews
@techdevicenews 3 ай бұрын
On the touchscreen select 'controls' then 'software' and that'll tell what autopilot package you have included. If it's just 'Autopilot' then you won't have full self driving. It would have to say that under there. You may have the FSD computer but not autopilot so be sure to check for that under the software menu. Thankfully no one can code in different text to overwrite the actual autopilot version. What you see in person is what you'll have. A test drive would also reveal if it has some of the extra features as well. The amount of motors and if it's a long range/performance aren't able to be modified by a dealer or seller.

⁠@@techdevicenewsThanks for this info. Your video gave me the confidence to get out and test drive a 2022 Model 3 Dual Motor and I absolutely fell in love with it. It has basic autopilot and the FSD computer, but no FSD or enhanced autopilot. I didn’t end up buying that specific car but I’m super happy with the 22 model 3’s, they’re awesome.

Do all the 2021 years have the heat pump, or was it added mid-year? Is the only way to check by looking under that panel in the front compartment? Thanks!

It should be included on all 2021s with the updated exterior and interior design (blacked out trim instead of chrome and the new center console). To be sure though, double check through the vehicle information section of the Model 3 and it'll say if it has a heat pump or not.

Even though there are a good amount of affordable models 3 in the used market, the insurance premiums for them here in the UK completely defeat the purpose. Just the insurance alone is already more than I was willing to pay for the car monthly, and it's more expensive than the actual car payment.

@SatoriHaddad That unfortunately makes sense, I've heard the same that it takes a while to get repair parts after and accident depending on your service location. In the U.S. it's likely not as bad as other countries where they don't have as many established Tesla-Certified repair shops.

@@Andy-wb4qm brother trust me, the laws are usually way stricter over here. Every part that you fx add to your car (springs, turbo, tint, whatever) needs to have a certification from TÜV. That means you need to drive to tüv and get those parts on your car approved. If you add/swap parts that work together, you need to get the entire system approved and they Can be strict asf. I mean we Can never even get the cybertruck, due to pedestrian safety laws. Sure you might have some weird laws too that make you miss out on some euro cars, but what you Can drive In the US that still counts as “Road legal” is absolutely baffeling to me

LFP batteries are amazing I have a LFP battery for my Hayabusa that’s been in there going strong for 15 years. It’s by far the best motorcycle battery I’ve ever owned. For comparison a standard lead acid battery lasts 1 maybe 2 years on my bike so although it cost me 3x more than the cheap lead acid it more than paid for itself over the years

I personally think 21-22 long range is the perfect one to buy used. If you live anywhere that has cold seasons, heatpump is a must unless you commute minimal discount and/or have a home charging available.

what’s the max of miles you’ll buy if you buy used. what’s the most amount you’d be content with buying
@techdevicenews
@techdevicenews 3 ай бұрын
It's tough to say as it really depends on the model and price that you're able to get. I'd say aim for not more than 50-80K miles as that's accounting for a reasonable amount of driving being done within the age of the car. I've seen some used ones with over 100K miles and I'm less confident in buying that, but also not as concerned as an ICE vehicle since EVs have far less moving parts in them to wear and the batteries in Teslas have seemed to age well. On those higher mileage ones, definitely make sure the battery is in good health since you haven't been the owner taking care of the battery and knowing it's conditions during that time.

I'd try to stay at a maximum of 15-20K miles per year on the car since that's usually a good indicator that the car wasn't being overly Supercharged and driven hard. Those are usually charged at slower home chargers since that's not too much mileage to have to rely on fast charging frequently. If you're looking to buy one from a rental fleet, I'd only buy a standard range model since it'll have the LFP batteries that are more immune to degradation charging up to 100% (which is likely what rental companies did). Sticking within the 15-20K mileage recommendation, buying a 2021 Model 3 Standard Range should be around 60K miles at most. A 2022 should be around 40K miles or so.

I'd try to go for the 2021s and newer if that's within your price range. They'll have most of the improvements such as the heat pump, FSD computer and newer MCU processor, LFP batteries, updated interior trim pieces, power trunk, etc. The older ones from 2018-2020 are still great options but I'd buy a longer range variant of those since they don't have the heat pump and ability to be fully charged like some of the newer ones.

If you buy a used EV, I have zero symoathy for you when it all goes south. And it will. Just pray it doesn't have a microfissure in a battery casing. Spend the 10 grand to have the entire thing disassembled and rebuilt for diagnostic purposes or you could lose everything--you house, your family, your life. EV fires are no joke. You cannot know how the previous owner drove it.

Its a Tesla. Dont worry if the panels, bumper to body alignment and the trim fit and finish is shoddy. They are all like that. All Teslas leave the factory looking like they have been crashed and repaired in the dark. The interior is the usual bland, low effort offering. Proof that idiots will buy anything thats shiny.
