My Wife's Tesla
United States
Приєднався 5 чер 2022
Helping to educate new or prospective Tesla buyers. What started out as a channel to highlight my wife's Tesla, a 2022 Long Range Model 3, has quickly become a channel about my 2023 RWD Model 3. Follow along as we cover a variety of topics on our Model 3's.
Tesla Home Charging Speed Comparison | 15 amp vs 50 amp
You bought your first Tesla, now you need to figure out your home charging options. In this video, we'll do a home charging speed comparison between a 15 amp circuit and a 50 amp circuit. Now obviously the 50 amp circuit is going to charge your Tesla Model 3 in less time, but how much faster is it? Maybe the better question is do you need to pay an electrician upwards of $1000 to have a new 50 amp circuit installed, or can you live with the standard 15 amp outlet you already have in your garage?
There are a variety of home charging options for your Tesla. You can go with the standard NEMA 5-15 outlet that most everyone has in their home, or you can upgrade to a NEMA 14-50 outlet. While both will work, what you need really depends on your driving habits, and that will determine if charging speed and time really matters.

Full Self Driving Degraded | Is Autopilot Better?
Переглядів 39210 місяців тому
If you happen to be driving in a heavy rain, you may get a message on your Tesla that Full Self Driving (FSD) may be degraded. What does that even mean? Can you still use FSD, and if so, what is actually degraded? One thing you'll notice is that the max speed is restricted to no more than 60 mph. If you want to go faster, you can't. How does this compare to Tesla's Basic Autopilot in that same ...

Time is money also.
I'm in Boise, Idaho. Tesla service just estimated my model3 front windshield @ 1410.76. its the exact same as the model Y but nearly 50% more expensive where I live apparently. I'll use Safelite before tesla now and remove my 5star local tesla review.
Thanks

55 dollars for a 700 mile trip that is nothing
Damn my car get 16 mpg im happy im getting a model y
Makes sense when you consider the cost of the infrastructure. When you charge at home, your infrastructure is already covered by your house payment, so all you are adding is the extra KWh you use to charge your car. You would likewise save a bundle if you had a fuel tank buried next to your driveway that could store a year's worth of gas. The supply truck would only need to make one annual visit to you and you'd be set because you already pay for and maintain your home. But ICE drivers don't have things set up that way, so gas prices include the cost of maintaining each station that sells it. To have a place just waiting for you to eventually drive up, which you usually will not have to thanks to your home charger, costs money. This is why eventually when most vehicles are electric a lot of fueling stations will no longer be able to have gasoline and diesel selling as the backbone of their business, and many will close, just like the saddlery and blacksmiths of old. Other's, which have been using gas as a draw, but make most of their money through food sales and dining, as well as truck stop services, will more than likely be able to continue through the offering charging services, but only as a secondary draw since many folks will charge at home. I could see special rates for apartment dwellers in the form of a subscription, since many apartments won't be able to add enough chargers. It's going to be an interesting next few years.
don’t buy tesla people. i just buy a 2024 tesla model y $55k . theirs customers service is horrible and i means horrible. i pay $6000 for enhanced auto pilot. but they didn’t have the smart summons and auto park. they keep me in the dark when i order the car . now they refuse to reimburse me the service they didn’t had to sell in the first place. do not buy tesla… i should have enjoyed my new car . but not at all.
Took a trip to from Orlando to NYC in my Kia Niro Hybrid. 2200 miles round trip and I spent around $130 ROUND TRIP. My Kia Niro gets about 530 miles per full tank. I didn't have to sit there or half an hour or more every time I fueled up either. Why the hell would I buy an electric car?
Another Tesla using vision just bumped into me backing up.. your vision is not accurate....😂
Thanks, now the air wont blow in my face 👍👍
Really? You are so clueless that you couldn't find the controls for the air vents? Luddite!
Thanks for this video! Very detailed and answered a lot of questions I had!
Clear and to the point. Thanks!
Just buy a Prius and use regular gas it’s about more or less the price of electricity with it’s 55+ mpg and you get the reliability of a Toyota and well put together car… also a lot cheaper about 33k for a brand new one, then you’ll have an extra 11k for gas left compared to buying a brand new tesla…
I'm stating the obvious here but I want to be clear, using superchargers on road trips is cheaper than fuel for your car but most people are not taking big road trips all the time and they will mainly charge at home where they will get SUPER CHEAP rates. I can fill up my Tesla for $8-$10 (300 miles) compared to $60+ in fuel. In addition, most cars on the road will be electric within a decade and these charging rates will go down...way down.
My Ram 1500 gets 14 mpg. Figure real world data for the gas cost estimate.
Good comparison when a person can truly afford a 50K type car. Unfortunately I do think those who want to justify the premium car will use the analysis say now it makes sense to spurge.
Thats excellent now as we continue to scale over a longer period time. If we keep this scale consistent Every 700 miles you save “$20”. If we say you do 15000 miles a year 15000 miles / 700 miles = 21.42 21.42 x $20 = $428 in gas savings Yeah not that big a difference lol
Thank you😉
The trip meter kWh/mi figure only shows the kWh used to move the wheels. It does not include the charging losses from “charger” to battery (10% in my case). My Juicebox shows the number of kWh actually pulled from the grid (I don’t know if the Tesla wall charger shows this). Also, look at your Tesla phone app under Charger Stats and you can see the number of KWh that actually filled your battery. This value (for me) is again about 10% greater than the trip meter value, because Tesla ignores kWh used for other purposes (battery temperature control and cabin heating and cooling, etc. displayed in their trip meter screen. All in all, the trip meter kWh is about 20% less than I pull from the grid. I pay at least $0.25/kwh in Connecticut (electricity is generated by natural gas and 35% from renewable) and my previous car used regular gas. So our savings calculations are at opposite sides of the spectrum. Thanks.
That’s good to know for estimate purposes. I’m not surprised a EV company would want to focus the number on just the movement. Makes them look better on paper.
Love this review!! Thank you ❤
how many miles is 6%? I lose about 3-4 miles per day (24 hours). no sentry or cabin heat protection
Yeah, the ICE metrics are pretty rosy IMO. I’m in the 20-23 MPG range and 91+ octane required by my Ice has me over $150 for gas on that same trip. Take my wife’s QX 80 and it’s even worse.
Some cars do get 30mpg. 2024 Toyota Prius get 57 city and 56 highway miles per gallon.
20 dollars saved per trip let's say 1 week x 52 weeks a year so that is 1040 dollars. And even if you save 20 dollars every 2 weeks that's 520 dollars. In 2 years you get that Samsung Galaxy you was wanted so it all adds up.
Without FSD there's no reason to even buy a Tesla
Lmao I went to North Carolina with a 2021 Toyota Camry and I wasted over $160 in gas so to pay $54.97 I rather take the Tesla
The only thing about the rwd drive is that it’s so much slower than the LR and performance
Why 20%? Seems artificially high. Wouldn't 10% be more than adequate?
$20 more but two hours more vacation time.
So when you did this road trip, you stopped every 150 miles to charge? Cause you said we charged 5 times during the trip? Very good video with good advice! :) cheers from the Netherlands!
Great video. Handsome little spokesdude. My son and i are renting a Tesla Y in Las Vegas this week. Thanks for the instructions!
5 stops to drive 700 miles.
sounds like the same features of other cars. lane tracing and auto cruise control.
Thank you so much! I live in Texas and my situation is just like yours! 0.32/kWh with Tesla supercharging, and 3.2 dollar per gallon. Thank you so much you let me give up buying a Tesla because I live in an apartment and there is no charger. I think Tesla is more suitable for those family with single house.
Completely agree. If you don’t have access to a home charger, you’re not going to see a huge cost savings.
Plus the 20-30 minutes of wasted time every time you have to stop and charge
Exactly, not to mention the headache of the station being busy when you get there, and the growing possibilty of cable theft ( people stealing the cables to sell the copper).

Until majority of gas stations get into EV charging and most people can charge where they live and work, the EV case will continue to remain difficult to prove. For now, there isn’t a significant advantage of owning an EV over a gas or hybrid equivalent. I would even argue that overall, it costs more to own a Tesla over an extended period of time, all things being considered (including the cost of the time spent at charging stations).
Not sure I agree with everything you are saying, but I do agree with the need to expand charging. Time will tell.
did you add in the value of your time sitting there doing nothing
Wasn’t really doing nothing. Getting lunch, bathroom breaks, quick walk, snacks, UA-cam, Netflix. You get the idea.
Looks better and performs just as well. Nice! Thanks for sharing this vid.
What kind of car do you have that gets 20mpg my daily get 15mpg and uses 93 so according to your prices to charge a Tesla would be way cheaper for me
If you can get in the office and only charge off your work's tesla charger, your cost of electricity is actually $0
Have to factor in the round trip. Work only covers one way, when I can snag a charger.
@@mywifestesla Unless you just don’t charge at home. Right you don’t need to gas up your car every time you go on a trip to the grocery store. Just charge the office. It takes twice as long to fill up then it would be if you topped off at the office and charge it at home, But your Tesla just has to sit there anyway.
$3.20/gallon? Was this video made when Trump was still president?….😂
So what do you do for the half hour it takes to charge your EV? I'm guessing that they have restaurants/fast food at the charging stations so maybe timing out food breaks/charging breaks to coincide would make this scenario somewhat feasible. But waiting 30 minutes for anything always seems to take longer when there's nothing to do.
Yep. Plenty of restaurants and fast food near the Superchargers that are within walking distance.
Nice review. Just sold my 22 Rivian R1T and bought a 21 F150 with a V8 lol and a 23 Tesla Model 3 base to replace it. Had the Rivian for 18 months and loved it but its not really a truck the way I use a truck and I hated public charging which I needed to do it twice a week while driving to and from our house at Cape Cod. I am uising the Model 3 as a "station" or home base car. Commuting 25 miles each way to work, local shopping, etc. I am sold on an EV for daily driving - its serene, relaxing, and cheap. But I disagree that you should not be concerned about range or longer trips with the Base Model 3. People that haven't owned EVs say 270 miles that is plenty! Well that is the ideal range limit. Mix in cold weather, driving 75mph plus on 65 mph highways (if you don't you are getting run over) and suddenly its not 270 miles. Oh and do you drive ICE vehicles until the tank has its last molecule of gas left? Of course not, so you are charging at 20% probably. For sure Tesla Superchargers blow all the other networks away, Electrify America in particular SUCKS - can tell lot of stoires there. But now Tesla is opening up to GM and Rivian. Wonder how Tesla owners will feel when suddenly there is a queue at superchagers with Fords, Rivians and soon to be other makes clogging them up?
Love the Rivian’s. Tesla opening up their network makes me a little nervous regarding charging availability, but we’ll see. It’s good for the EV market as a whole.
Most ICE vehicles are NOT getting 30mpg on the highway either… not really a great comparison.
wow, great videos. very informative. I am from Warren, MI. On of my biggest reasons for thinking about tesla is that I like the fact that I can fuel up at home rather than gas stations. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks and same. I don’t miss having to stop at gas stations.
I do a lot of freeway driving - 35k miles/yr on my 2022 MY- so I’m already at 75k miles. The windshield is a rock magnet! I collected my first chip about 6 months in but decided to delay replacement until a crack formed. Fortunately the chip was on the passenger side and a crack never formed. But in the next 1.5 years, I’ve collected a total of 8 chips! Recently 2 cracks have formed so I will now be replacing my windshield. I’m glad I waited because it would have been pretty disheartening to have replaced it shortly after getting the first rock chip only to continue collecting so many more.
Yea it’s crazy. I’ve got two cracks on my current windshield. This will be replacement number 3 for me.
Annnnnd it should only get more expensive as more people get ev’s
Why use cover at all, as long as you don’t need the longest range possible? - The rims looks best without cover.
