I like your assessment. I just have one thing to pitch in. It's time to stop thinking about keeping cars for only 5 years. That is an artificial length of time created by the auto industry to sell more vehicles. Tesla vehicles, provided they don't have all those problems from day one like yours had, should last 7-10 years easily. This means you can expect to drive it for quite a while after it is paid for. Also, since it is paid for at that point, any small repair costs are still cheaper than trading it in for another one.

I think the year, vs features matters more now for instance model 3's pre 2021 are lacking the heat pump, which helps increase battery performance. Also newer designed motors and battery technology make a difference in models near the 2019 and 2020 years.

He spot on about buying an EV with the longest range, for the life of me, I've watch some performance Tesla videos and I saw a guy charge 3-4 times on 1 trip and I think the length of driving the vehicle was 5-6 hours. This is the first video I watched of his all the way through, no overboard Elon Musk fan admiration, I can dig this.
@AndreAlforque 3 жыл бұрын
Yes! Future planning from past experience is important. And atop daily/weekly mileage for battery size, increasing years of ownership will also reduce overall costs. We owned our past car for 14 years (and still budget to own and maintain to this day) when we decided to buy; and we plan to own our EV for at least 10 years, if not the lifetime of the vehicle.

I have a S with 1.0 and a 3 with FSD. I totally agree with Ben’s comments that V1.0 autopilot is as good or better in actual use. It is all you need in a used Tesla, and a much better value. It is nice to monitor the state of the art wit FSD software updates, but it just a science experiment at this time.

Two things. Tesla seems to be including FSD in all used cars on its site in order to keep the prices up. And if you buy a used Tesla from other dealers watch out for salvage/rebuilt cars. They look like a great deal but Tesla's policy is to disable all fast charging on those cars (including non-Tesla chargers)

I can second your experience and knowledge (coming from 3yr old Model 3 owner). All solid points esp “cruise control+”… well explained. I think for new EV owners that range loss/degradation/calibration should be the big think to familiarize (since it gives real range!! given range is no 1 factor for me as well). Ballpark, you do lose about 30-40 (more like 35%) in practical use given the 10% low end of charge and 80/85% high end of typical charge and some degradation/range calibration issues. Would you recommend any sites (aside from Tesla which seems actually quite nice but it’s mostly new pre owned vs genuine pre owned by price)? Carvana seems very very high for some reason

Hi Ben! I live in Sweden and our used Tesla prices on the Tesla web-page are ridiculous. We have 60.000kr (7100 dollars) tax credit on new cars after 6 months of ownership which makes a new Tesla model 3 worth 640.000kr (76000 dollars) after incentives. A used one, 1-2 years old with same specs is PLUS FSD is 700.000. FSD alone is worth 77.000 when ordering. So for 17.000kr (2000 dollars) I get the latest mode with all the new goodies. I’ll never buy a used model 3 in Sweden. Just thought I’d tell u how it goes here! :)

Can I add a couple of used Tesla benefits? 1. AP1 has lane change control with your turn signals.. the base version of new AP does not.. unless you pay for FSD 2. a lot of the newer/used Teslas have FSD already... so for less than $50k you get an amazing car, with FSD with free connectivity etc. 3. Sunroof... I love my sunroof 4. some may not like this but, real leather also, tires are a real problem on the bigger wheels, stick with the 19s on a model S.. for range and for life of tires One more, when you buy used, the previous owner already worked out all of those new car kinks.. like the Y is having.. spending time at the service center for door handles or other issues. I love my used Tesla, it feels like new with the new MCU2

@sag-r 6 ай бұрын
I’ve driven Tesla Model 3 for 5 years and finally thinking of upgrading to Tesla Model Y as I feel it is getting harder and harder to get in and out of my Tesla because of my back issues. Other than that I don’t have much requirement but the recent drop in process got me thinking again if I should get a new or used. After Tax credit new and old are quite close. It’s a no brainier for some but I’m thinking I’ll get FSD for cheap in older cars. I’m also not happy that dropped prices depreciated my cars value to less than half. I’ve used Enhanced pilot for my office commute and find FSD quite promising. And watched this video to validate my decision. I agree with the author advise to stick with basic autopilot and don’t pay for enhanced Autopilot for newer buyers. Enhanced autopilot is Not worth the 6k. But when it comes to FSD I’m curious. I like to know what problems I’ll face if I try to buy a 20k miles mileage 2020 Model Y as against 2021 or 2022. Is there any difference ?

Buying used directly from Tesla is tough. You don’t get to see the car before delivery. It’s a $500 deposit and any transportation fees from $500 up to over $2,000 will be forfeited if there is something about the car you don’t like. No warranty will fix that issue. Be very sure you’re all in on the car if you go direct. I went with Carvana on my third Tesla. 7 day return policy. Will get to see and rest it for u to 400 miles or 7 days. Can return with no fee.

As for range I would advise don’t go by any EPA numbers for Tesla, look at tested real world range at speeds you more than likely normally drive at, one thing you don’t want to end up doing is buying a more expensive car, going EV just to end up driving slower than you normally do ..

Ben have you ever bought a car? Traditional auto makers do not change the vehicles on a yearly basis. It is usually around 5 years. They may make minor changes from year to year and Tesla does this as well. But buying a used Tesla from Tesla is about the worst experience anyone can have buying a used car. Because it can take months to get a car that you have paid for and are paying insurance for, but you have no car. At least when I walk into a traditional dealer I can drive away in a few hours with a vehicle. Tesla thinks that is crazy and makes you wait months to get the vehicle from the next state. Wow Tesla’s warranty is awful. 4 years 50,000 miles bumper to bumper.

If I buy a Tesla from a non-Tesla dealer, can I bring that car to a Tesla service center for them to look over before I buy?

pro tip...if yall interested in buying a used car, like a tesla, check out Turo, rent it for a day for less than $100 in most places and see how you like it! much better than a 10 minutes test drive at a dealership. plus it hard to find tesla dealerships

Ben, is there a transfer of the basic warranty when you buy a used Tesla?
@Andersljungberg 2 жыл бұрын
in Sweden, however, the free charge will apparently not be transferred to the person who buys a used Tesla. it will only apply to the first owner of the car, as long as he owns the car

Year of car matters. They update their hardware like software revisions all under the same name. E.g. the heat pumps, change to cell chemistry, window material etc...

What year of used Model 3 should I buy if I want to avoid problems?
@Brisket9392 3 жыл бұрын
As others have mentioned, 1 yr/10k miles added now. There are ZERO used cars from Tesla with free supercharging. This has been stripped when they take them in. Also, no more pictures available on used cars plus $500 deposit and prepaid delivery which are non-refundable. In the past, I have seem some pretty shabby used Teslas when pictures were available. You have to just accept that now if you get one of those duds or you lose your deposit and delivery cost.

I wonder how much of the AC issue on the MX was because it was driven so little by the first owner? Several years ago I had a car that didn't get driven much for about a year. When I started driving it again regularly, the AC was my biggest issue. Could be the same thing on the MX, not specific to the car, just that the AC needs regular use or it starts to degrade and dies prematurely.

I get a lot of cheap used cars that have been sitting for years and the O rings on a/c are usually the issue for that system.

Great information! I know this video is old. But what certified used year would you recommend for Model Y and Model 3?
@BenSullinsOfficial Ай бұрын
Probably 2021 or newer. Whatever is the longest range and still has good warranty

Hi Ben, whats you opinion about leasing a used Tesla? I seems you are buying them only in cash why not leasing or fiancing?

Are there options to purchase a warranty from Tesla for a car without one or once it's expired?

1 - don’t pay more for that used Tesla than they are new…you think that would be straight forward but the last 2 years have shown otherwise 2 - check for accidents…they seem to get in a lot of them even with low mileage 3 - has the previous owner done any maintenance? Since it’s a Tesla, likely not, so you may want think about getting new…and please do the proper maintenance if you do buy new 4 - are the tires no name garbage? Walk away… 5 - take stock of what the battery capacity, range, and features that are included are prior to doing the ownership change (take photos etc) and have them written in the bill of sale so that if Tesla removes them suddenly you have proof to get them back through social media shaming or court action

Great advice, Ben. Thanks! ?: Do Teslas come with Run Flat tires?? I have those on my ICE cars and they're nasty only the wallet.

In most cases, buying a used Tesla is more expensive than buying a brand new one. In either case, whether it's used or new, Teslas are just too expensive for the common folk.
