If you are even interested in buying a tesla the first thing you should do is figure out a way to charge it . i had the charger installed before i ordered my tesla . if any of the fees in this video bothers you then you cant afford a tesla Period. all cars have expenses .
I had priced out installing an outlet in my garage for a level 2 outlet. Was quoted $7K to run a new dedicated circuit, install a new box because my garage is detached from my house. Bury the cable and replace my brick pavers, etc. Decided to put everything on hold for awhile to see where Tesla prices go in 6-12 months.
You know, it sucks that we have to keep renewing registration each year, you would think that's enough of a rip off to pay for the roads, but no, they tax gas and also charge extra for EVs.
I’m paying 120-140 for 26 gal on my truck every 4 days driving 42 miles a day I’m definitely getting a Tesla now I can charge for free at my place of work
Great video and pretty eye opening. I wanted to trade in my paid off Ram and jump to a EV pickup in the future but that seems to be years away for me. It’s crazy how we want to push people to EVs when it’s so expensive to own one.
Tesla owner here in the Bay Area, California. If you like remote temperature control before you get to the car, getting in the car and drive instantly without warming up the engine, smelling the first whip of the gas exhaust, no oil stain in your driveway, 360 degrees covered dash cam, driving in heavy traffic all the time, teslas may be a good option. But here in the Bay Area we are paying premium for charging both at superchargers and at home unless you have discounts or free charging some where. Owning a Tesla is getting very expensive. And don’t ever trust the advertised range even for a new one. In real world you’ll get 85-90% of that in normal driving.
I wired my own feed to my garage and then I put a new breaker panel and level 2 EVSE in it too but I’ve been doing my own home wiring for decades and I’ve never had a problem and I’ve corrected many wiring mistakes in a few homes I’ve bought too.
@@SymbianBlack My sucky gas station is everywhere in America, and fast too. I would *never* wait in a long line of cars, then charge the car battery for 30 minutes or longer. Do I look like a sap?
I also have white seats in my Tesla Model Y, but the blue denim from my Jeans is a huge problem. So I now have seat covers, as denim is impossible to get of. How are your seats holding up, and are you even wearing blue jeans ?
Almost got a tesla. But a few friends have one. None of them are perfect when it comes to the whole car (small things are off, but I guess I am old enough to expect everything to match up perfectly when it comes to cars). I ended up with a hybrid.
I think all these fees even out when you figure in all oil changes and transmission fluid There are 1000’s of moving parts in a combustion engine and transmission. Not to mention all the emissions stuff that goes out on internal combustion engines. I don’t agree charging infrastructure needs a lot of improvement.
I disagree with many of the things you said in this video. Consumers Energy has a rebate where you can get your EV charger for basically free. Also, charging at night is way cheaper than buying gas. Also, if you have to use the Superchargers on a daily basis, then buying an EV is not for you.
Tesla offers cutting-edge tech, reduced fuel costs, and a unique driving experience, but hidden costs-like charging setup, insurance, tire wear, and taxes-make it expensive. It’s ideal for tech enthusiasts, but not always the cheapest or most practical option.
Also the mesh filter in the front is needs as the AC radiator has a bad design and collects leaves bugs etc, if you don't use a mesh cleaning later of is a lot tougher
If average mpg is 25 miles, that .18 cents per mile for $4.5 per gallon. Then insurance is north of $2700 per year, compare to Lexus RX is $1600. Then depreciation is 50% drop in 26 months. So even Hertz lost a few hundred million on EV. Nobody wins except on party.
If You want to save money due to gas price , opting for Tesla. Then please don't. If You like the car and technology then go for it. I see lot of people have unrealistic expectations. They compare cost of ownership of Camry or a civic and also compare the ride quality with a Mercedes GLE or a Lexus RX.
I heard California has one nuclear power plant still up and they want to shut it down. It is on a fault line but the ones that were shut down need to be upgraded and brought back up. Then more should be built. The technology has gotten a lot safer and efficient and should be revisited.
EVs and especially Teslas are computer on wheels. They are not DIY repairable cars and that's the biggest problem with these throw away appliances. Once battery goes bad or expensive electronics fail out of warranty, it's going to cost you arms and legs. Meanwhile, Cubans are driving their 60+ year old cars everyday. That is difference between DIY repairable gas cars and expensive disposable cars like Teslas. I have 30 year old car and truck, and because they are DIY repairable, they cost way less than any Tesla to maintain and keep on the road.
From my research it’s 9.99 for the connectivity after a 30 trail. Or you can use your phone’s hotspot but the biggest pro of tesla connect is you can view the car’s cameras front your mobile phone.
I live in a country where charging a tesla is free. But you will be charged if your battery is full and you didn't move your car from the charging spot.
Thanks for this. There's no way I'd ever pay those insurance and tire expenses. And subscription fees to drive my car? HA, no thanks. And registration fees assuming 20-30k miles/yr? That's off base too, the average is closer to 15k and I drive less than 10k/yr. Lastly, oil companies are buying up the charging network and, no doubt, are going to eliminate the cost advantage of an EV over an ICE vehicle. They need to make their rape money somehow, just watch. I'm sticking with my "03 BMW 530i. Runs like a champ, is quiet and smooth, gets 30mpg, tires cost $600, registration costs $120, and full coverage insurance costs $950/yr.
Great video and warning for potential EV buyers. Another one for me is depreciation and wildly fluctuating Tesla new car prices (which have somewhat stabilized for now). Caveat Emptor!
It didn’t deter me at all, I was paying $120 every 10 days to fill my TRD Tundra with gas. I’m saving a ridiculous amount of money, all things considered.
I call BS on the tires, particularly the foam inserts making them quieter and increased range. The opposite would be the case as the extra weight in the tires would reduce range, not increase it. Like in the past when they use to say fill your tires with Nitrogen as it can improve mileage. Again, fake marketing because the only reason it would improve mileage "in some" cases because some don't keep their air in their tires at correct inflation because the air will reduce in cold weather by a few psi, thus reducing milage, where as Nitrogen is less susceptible to this, thus improving mileage because they don't under inflate in colder weather. Be interesting to see their stats on how they say the foam improves range, guessing the same concept of a more consistent pressure in the tires.
Yeah, he’s the first person I heard mention the $2300 tire thing. I do understand not to put cheap tires on an EV, but I’ve seen people pay maybe $1000 for all four. He does have bigger wheels though, so that might be an issue too.
