Former insurance underwriter here ...ask for a quote for any vehicle before you purchase it so you know what the cost will be. Insurance premiums will continue to rise because of more vehicles on the road and more weather related claims. Do not cut coverage to the bone for liability, especially if uninsured and under insured limits are tied to the liability limit. The number of people driving without any insurance is well over 10 percent so you need that coverage.

LOL that you think most Tesla owners are guys in their mid-twenties! That’s way off. The median age of a Tesla buyer is 48. 74% are male and 97% are homeowners, which rules out most guys in their mid-twenties. The demographic data I found sums it up thusly: “The typical Tesla customer is a white male, about 50 years old, who owns their home and has a high household income.” So yeah - definitely not guys in their mid-twenties! Another interesting data point - Teslas have the highest accident rate of ANY car brand at 23.54 accidents per 1000 drivers. If you want to see this data, just Google “what are the demographics of US Tesla buyers.”

At 60, as a homeowner with modest income, I aimed to make a savvy investment. Despite having $15,000 saved for a car every decade, I sought to avoid the high costs of gas this time around. Although a used Camry with its reliability and 35mpg efficiency seemed like a practical choice, I stumbled upon a 2022 Model 3 with only 54,000 miles. It was in impeccable condition and came with a $4,000 instant tax credit at the point of sale. With a final price of $14,900 plus tax, it was too good of a deal to pass up. Additionally, the insurance for the Tesla is only $190 per month compared to the $450 I was spending on gas for my old Toyota pickup. Moreover, with my electric company charging only $0.13 per kWh and offering a discount through CARE for low-income households, my monthly electricity costs are a mere $40. All in all, this investment has not only saved me money but also significantly reduced my carbon footprint.

I owned a 2018 Model 3. My maintenance over 5-1/2 years of ownership was AC filter twice. Tire replaced once $1200. Nothing else you mentioned is not really necessary. Tire rotation is one thing not needed. Tesla’s vehicles are very well balanced. My tires wore evenly, never rotated. One thing that surprised me, is never having to change wiper blades. How they last so long is truly amazing.

That's because there is no service schedule in the owners manual. This is literally all there is in the owners manual. Service Intervals Tesla recommends the following maintenance items and intervals, as applicable to your vehicle, to ensure continued reliability and efficiency of your Model Y. Brake fluid health check every 4 years (replace if necessary)*. A/C desiccant bag replacement every 4 years. Cabin air filter replacement every 2 years. HEPA filter replacement every 3 years. Clean and lubricate brake calipers every year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area where roads are salted during winter. Rotate tires every 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater, whichever comes first. Thats it.
@nfzeta128 Ай бұрын
I don't doubt that some Tesla owners don't do any maintenance whatsoever. It happens even in ICE cars. That said, other than the tires (and even then if they don't abuse the accel it can be okay for a year or two) it is possible to do no maintenance and still have a fairly comfortable drive with the cars.

Great video. Thanks for the tips. Just wanted to add that most towns/cities have a Discount Tire. They rotate for free. Make an appointment online and run by and you're done. It's that simple and free. For the brake lubrication, that's just not necessary. Just tap your brakes from time to time and go about your day. Maybe in a blue moon drop by your local brake shop and ask for them to lubricate your calipers pins and components for a nominal fee...and you're done. Your air filter you can do yourself. The desiccant bag...take your Tesla in for a full once over to have peace of mind if you want, but it's not really necessary to replace it. Tons of car's use these bags and the original ones are still in them after 10 years of usage. It's a pointless thing honestly. For the most part it's so much less maintenance for a Teala then an ICE... there just isn't a comparison. Tires/Tyres...yah, it's the lead foots that destroy your tires/tyres not the car's weight. Thank you for pointing that out. Basic floor mats come in all car's even Tesla's. The factory ones are always...mehhh...and most drivers know this. This is not a hidden expense in my opinion. Tons of charging options...it varies so much from person to person. Same principle to cheap non bonded gas vs bonded gas...so why bother mentioning. Great video overall. Thank you.

As far as insurance goes , I got some good news, I switched to Geico and saved 50 percent on my car insurance. ( All kidding aside, I asked for a reduction with All State, they denied me a reduction , I switched to Progressive and my premium dropped almost 90 bucks per month ) Definitely a good idea to keep your eyes wide open with those insurance companies and take advantage of the cheap rates when switching. ( We pay about $1100 per year for two cars , complete coverage. Drive safe out my Tesla friends.

Best way to own an electric car is to have solar at home (sized for charging a car) and do most of your charging at home. We upsized ours to handle a full electric and a plug in hybrid. Mostly charge at home and still get approx. $300 check from the electric company every year for my overage. It has been nice having a $25 elec bill and being able to pass the gas stations.

We actually spent $20k on a ground mount system. I have a 25 year warranty on the system. With electrical rates going up fast in CO and the insane amount of sunshine we get it made since to do something to stop having to pay more and more every year for electricity. Electric cars are the future (not as soon as some of our politicians would like) and with that being able to charge essentially for free just makes since. We save about $4000 per year on electric costs (not including price increases and car charging savings) This alone pays for the system in 5 years. If you factor in rate increases and savings of not paying for car charging or gas tank fill ups, the pay off is even faster (haven't done the math on that yet). The average price of a new car in 2023 was $48,000. With tax savings and the decreased price for Teslas, you can get a nice dual motor model 3 or Y for less than that. Seems like a win/win to me. Of course, I will keep my Ram 1500 for towing the boat and going dirt bike riding. It will be another 5 to 7 years before electric trucks have decent range. @@will_mcfarland

He was referring to the older base Model 3 standard range which was renamed as the RWD when it got the heated rear seats and bigger LFP battery around mid to late 2021. The Standard Range Plus was sold in the UK so it depends on the age of the car. The older standard range came with additional speakers that could be enabled via software and had all the wiring for the premium sound system so you could install the sub woofer in the boot easily. So swings and roundabouts.

You mentioned Florida and the cost of insurance. In live in Tallahassee. I’ve been researching owning a MYLR. I have a bundled package with State Farm for my homeowners and vehicles. I’m currently driving a 2001 Porsche Boxster with 176K miles. A new MYLR will add $130 more a month to my insurance premiums! However, a comparable vehicle like a Volvo XC40 would be $103 more a month. Almost the same as owning a Tesla. I was told that since I’ve been with SF for so long with my Porsche I qualify for a special discount that I’m enjoying now that I’ll lose when I trade it in.

20% extra for charging in the winter. I am outside and preconditioning takes up to an hour so about 3-5 kW per day just to precondition. Preconditioning uses more than my 3.8 kW/ 16 miles per hour range charge rate. So I can leave with less miles than when I started preconditioning. Will not get a positive charge rate while plugged in for the first 45 minutes.

I'd rather be able to drive short range full EV in town and be able to get 500-600 miles of range in hybrid mode when I occasionally need to make long road trips.

You right about the “Tesla lead foot” when it comes to tire wear. Another YTube poster, “GJEEPS”, owns a MY and a Porsche Macan ICE. He said in his post, “Tesla Model Y Wear and Tear after 34,000 Miles”, that both his cars weigh the same and mused that car weight is not a factor. He recommended that Tesla owners change the driving mode to “Chill” and their tire wear would be the same as with an ICE vehicle.

A/C desiccant - probably correct. 3. Cabin filters - OK. But very cheap to buy, and can be done at home. 4. Brake calipers - ONLY if on salted roads. (Never in Australia though). 5. Rotate tyres - Can also be done at home, or AU$50 at MyCar. Cheap ! You can also extend it to more kilometres.

Maintenance cost for the Tesla is different every year in Australia you're going to pay maybe 100 Australia dollars or less for everything in 1 year. for insurance your going to pay about 119 Australian dollars per month for full comprehensive insurance. Charging you can pay zero if you use all free chargers in Australia because there are so many free chargers. or you can pay for DC fast charging which is about 45c to 62c Australian Cents. Home charging is very common here so it would range from zero dollars to 26c a kw at the highest. Alot of people pay nothing for electric here because they have a lot of solar in Australia. So owning an EV in Australia is very cheap.

I think the insurance thing will change as service options improve. Remember, most of the cost in insurance relates to accidental damage and EVs have only limited body shop options at the moment. Tesla parts are on the whole cheaper than their direct Euro competitors but they have supply chain issues, they write off batteries a bit prematurely and the aluminium body is more difficult to panel beat than steel. Increased insurance is not just a Tesla problem either - it affects many EVs for the above reasons.

Bro, seriously! All of this is stuff any vehicle with AC and hydraulic brakes require. No one ever said there is zero maintenance on EVs just a whole lot lot less than ICE vehicles. I had a Nissan Leaf from 2013 to 2016 and put about 40,000 miles on it. Even though I was supposed to change the cabin air filter at 15,000 and there was some other minor stuff at 30,000 it is only for people that need scheduled to tell them when they should have a bowel movement. I didn't do anything to that Leaf in all those years and miles and it still ran as good on day 1,095 of the lease as it did on day 1. Never bought new tires and the battery had zero capacity degradation too! Oh yeah, I charged while at work about 99% of the time so I saved about $4,000-5,000 on gas also while paying exactly $0 for maintenance and the vehicle was never being repaired in an auto shop or at the dealership! Three year leasing is the way to go for $0 maintenance!

I drove one year on my winterset in between and drove approx. 140.000 with 8 tyres in total and they have 5 mm at least each. About breaking fluid; I changed after 9 years for the first time . I try to regenerate always, only after a rainy ride I break several times to dry and warm up the braking system to prevent corrosion. In snow an salty roads I don't use my Tesla .then the Mercedes E comes in. I always charge between 20 and 80% , when I don't use the car it stays on 50%. No degradation up till now ! I always use cruise control my consumption : 26,4 kWh on 100 miles (16,4/100km). Never had a cheaper car; free Suc and 13,5 kWh peak on my roof. Service in a smal garage against € 85/hour ex VAT. These people are relaiable, I think , even better than Tesla. Hope to drive another 5 years to come.

Actually, the real reason car rental companies are getting rid of their Teslas is because Tesla has been able to reduce the price of their products by increasing their production efficiency. The dropping cost of buying new makes it harder for those taxi companies to make money selling their used vehicles. Since they are used to making their biggest profits by selling their used vehicles, they want to stop using Teslas because it's clear Tesla intends to keep pushing the price of their new vehicles down to broaden Tesla's market and accelerate the transition to fossil fuels. Obviously, the taxi companies are going to point this out to the purchasers of their used vehicles. Why would people buy used when they can get new for very comparable prices.

I looked recently but unfortunately european EVs are just inferior at the moment. You may get better uality interir with bmw / audi / mercedes but on one hand they make kinda crappy looking cars nowadays, and they have an inferior drivetrain. Vw went downhill with their interiors, and you can get an id4 that is ismilarly priced as a model 3 (Vw had to lower prices hugely after Tesla forced them to), but it looks like any generic Vw suv in last 10 years (that's not a compliment), and it's just worse not to mention the charging infra is also worse compared to superchargers. 20 cm taller and 20 cm shorter speaks about how grotesque and inefficient it is. Skoda just lost its comptitive edge by raising prices in the past 5+ years so it's no longer a realistic option imo. The only companies that are not quite there but close are Kia / Hyundai with their ioniq 5/6/ev6 etc. models, and maybe the Chinese that we really don't have any info about in terms of long term use, reliability and service experience. And if you look up the Canadian stories with the 60k cad battry replacement for Ioniq 5 for a damaged protective plate that's just insane. So I am surprised anyone would change their car because Tesla model 3 is pretty much superior to everything we have on the market currently, like it or not. I am not familiar with taxi usage insurances, EV insurances are just generally high unfortunately. I currently pay 600 euro for my 1.4 tsi octavia, a m3 would be 900, vw id 4 would be 700 (calculated at huk24). If for some reason I would not choose a tesla I would rather consider Kia or chinese before vw, they are just struggling, following the others. :(

I'd say go by the latter unless there is some evidence of it being modified, in which case you could go by the former criterion and actually measure it. IAC wheelbase doesn't exactly track weight, and weight is what we really care about, but it doesn't have to exactly track. Wheelbase indicates what we want to know, closely enough.

I'm at six years, definitely haven't spent $1,500. That's almost exactly what I've spent charging though.

sounds like a no brainer to switch to ev if you can charge at home

My Expenses - $0.064per kW home charging, $500 - 6-20 outlet (60’ from box and needed expansion panel), $230 Mobil charger - ccs / j1772 adapters $100, charger port cover $15 , cord hook $15 , OH registration fee $200 annually. 20% extra for charging in the winter. I am outside and preconditioning takes up to an hour so about 3-5 kW per day just to precondition. Preconditioning uses more than my 3.8 kW/ 16 miles per hour range charge rate. So I can leave with less miles than when I started preconditioning.

What's "preconditioning"? Can't you sit and drive off?
@BurnseysRT 4 ай бұрын
@@sunshadow9704 totally can get in and drive off without preconditioning. The benefit to preconditioning is warming up the battery for optimal performance and efficiency. If your battery if super cold and you drive off you won’t have regenative braking for a while and can’t recapture that energy when slowing down. Also so much energy goes into warming up the batteries that your range just tanks. For example. If it’s 10 degrees out and I precondition for my 20 mile drive into work I might use 20-25 miles of range. If I don’t precondition I will likely use close to 40. It probably all works out similarly with total used. Use it up front or while you drive but you can go allot further on a charge if you precondition your battery.

@@BurnseysRT Thank you for the prompt reply. 1. Can preconditioning be activate via mobile app? 2. Do you define the scope of preconditioning, or rather it is a toggle, like ON/OFF? 3. While precondition as you stated might help with the range, doesn't itself take some energy from very same battery to run preconditioning? 4. If regenerative breaking isn't available for some time at cold temp, doesn't this create a hazard as it mess up with driver's expectation? Like last night car was slowing near the interaction by itself and today it doesn't. I bet most drivers cannot keep up with such swift and unpredictable behavior of the vehicle. Thoughts?

@@sunshadow9704 1.) yes 2.) it is a toggle on and off but you can set the time for the preconditioning to be completed. 3.) ideally you would want to precondition while plugged in at home. I have a 6-20 outlet that gives me 3.8 kW charge. That is usually enough to precondition without loosing range. Once it’s warm it will top off the battery. 4.) it can drive a little different time to time. In most cases even without preconditioning your have some stopping power when letting go of the accelerator.. if it sits outside for hours in single digits for a few hours it’s like driving an ICE car for 5-10 minutes and then it improves. If it’s 20-30+ degrees plus you’ll have most of your braking power but it might not be able to recapture energy until it’s warmer. It’s gotta be very severely cold to have no auto braking.

My 2018 Model 3 pretty much needs ac filters replaced and ac coils cleaned EVERY year. They designed it poorly, so it starts to stink every year. Sure, I can DIY, but it's still a hidden maintenance fee.

@@Jetfuture737 I think it's $400 the first year and $251 annually after that. It's kind of a rip-off for me since I won't be putting so many miles on this car. I didn't buy it to save money. I like the tech and the driving experience. These cars are a hoot. Thought about getting a more expensive EV. If a new Model S LR had been available in late Feb, I'd have sprung for it but there were none around. I waited 8 weeks for mine. I think I'm better off with this M3 LR because the tech is advancing so quickly on EVs. Depreciation on a pricey one will be a killer.

every house in Austrrali has a 10amp 240volt plugs this is the standard plug for every house. we can charge off the bat at 2kw an hour. if we install a tesla 32amp charger we will get 12kw per hour on 3 phase.
