It's the complete buyers guide every new and future Tesla owner should see. It’s been a year since I bought my Tesla Model 3, and I wanted to explain to you the entire buying experience and what to expect from it.
This includes the good, the bad and the unexpected. Including ordering, insurance, accessories, charging, grants, collection day and warranty. Applies to the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X.

😂 thanks for watching anyway then mate
@@SpawnPoiintDeciding between the Plaid+ or the Model 3 Long Range, those upgrades are worth ?
Same
Wow way to make us real broke people depressed. 🥺🙇♂️
@@neykovmaster Plaid + all the effing way man!!!
It's not welcome back to another video. It's welcome back to another perfectly made video.
Haha thanks mate 🙏
Currently driving a 11 year old ford focus. Patiently counting down the days and saving my pennies for the UK release of the Model Y! 😀
Hopefully we see them later this year mate. Or early 2022.
Can’t speak for the Model Y, but we have a Model 3. After 18 months of ownership it still excites on every drive. Our other car is... a Ford Focus Titanium X. It’s parked in the garage and my wife won’t drive it anymore! Best sell it soon before people cotton on to how antiquated petrol cars are!
@@SpawnPoiint think Berlin readiness will determine release date. Likely 2022.
@@joyboy6535 What do you mean? That’s a bit confusing. Example the Car sitting in winter at the airport outside will loose 7%-12% charge over two weeks it’s called vampire drain. Cost example on (Octopus) electric home provider is cost £4 to fill the battery or tank to the usual £48 on petrol hatchback. Example of paying at superchargers Glasgow to Duxford and back around 860 miles. Cost £9.80 the same trip the year before driving a hatchback that was getting 55 mpg over the trip cost £98. Before you go on aaaa but you had to wait at the superchargers twice in this case 32 minutes total between the two used. Timed filling the Car with petrol the year before between the action of filling and paying was seven minutes and guess what I did I filled up crossed a roundabout and went down to a castle to sit and have my coffee as I’d been driving two hours. Yes the Tesla cost two and a bit times of the hatch when it was bought factory ordered but seeing a trip taken that is done often costing under a £10 to that of near £100, the Car driving itself 90% of the time perfectly with supervision granted on long motorways stretches - I’ll never trust AP in any car sorry I’m old school completely but to come out of 423 miles feeling not tired to that of previous years a bonus.
@@joyboy6535 No, I haven't sat up through the night counting the electricity. Maybe I should, but not sure how to do this. However I think my wife would be a bit concerned if I start burning the battery. Let alone burning it 100%. That'd ruin the car wouldn't it?
Your videos are always very informative and helpful. I used your referral link and delivery day is in about 3 weeks. I am so excited for my Model 3! Thanks for all the great information and road trip vids. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate the time you take out to give such a thorough explanation without the gibberish that many other Tesla owners put out there with negative statements; they honestly just put out there more hate words than good But then again, humans are never satisfied. I appreciate the quality explanation. Your video has added more of a good reason for me to buy with confidence. I’ve seen approximately 400 videos in the past eight months. They all do the same say the same thing; I intend to buy a model Y, and I’ve been putting off until maybe March or April 2021 either way. I know what you said; it’s so clear there’s never a wrong time to buy...Thank you.
Just got my M3 using your referral link. Thank you for providing such a quality content!
That's awesome, enjoy the new car too!
Currently driving a Model 3 Performance, just delivered in December. Your videos helped me decide on this car, I'd watch them all the time in the months before ordering. And, they kept me sane during the long 8 weeks I waited after ordering haha. Great content as always!
That’s awesome mate. Thanks for watching too.
Currently driving a 2013 Camry, and can't wait to dive into the EV world. Great video with really useful advice! I appreciate you mentioning the little logistical issues to deal with like getting registration and insurance. Thank you.
Hi. Great stuff! Informative and professionally presented as usual. My current car is an Ibiza FR, soon to change to a Model 3. Can't wait.
Oh awesome mate, congrats on the new car (when it comes). Hope the wait isn't too long.
I have my 2021 Model 3 for 4 weeks now and I love it thanks for the the informative video.
Thank you mate. Enjoy too.
Another brilliantly edited Tesla video. Always putting time aside asap when I see you have a new one out
Ah thank you mate. Really appreciate it
I would highly recommend purchasing one in the middle of winter, Didn't realise how much difference the cold weather has on battery drain. If you can handle the pressure of winter then you'll absolutely love summer, it's only 12c here but the range difference is incredible.
Usual clear and concise information ... love seeing my old haunt Beverley and the main route out, too !! Great advice, thanks again !
Thank you Lewis.
Ok, everything seems to check out, now for the next step: having money...
I always like your video's , Your car is spotless and information is spot on .
Thanks dude 🙏
Another great vid! Driving a White Model 3 purchased a few months back after watching your channel. Fantastic car!!
That’s awesome. Thanks mate.
What a wonderful review. Unbiased unlike most Tesla fan boys, straight to the point and easy to follow. Liked and subbed👍
Thanks for watching mate
always really insightful videos delivered in a professional way. be great to see a video specifically on planning routes via the satnav and how to select a charging stop even if you don't need one
Thank you mate.
Great content; have watched a lot of your model 3 videos whilst deciding on my Tesla purchase. Just used your referral link to place my order 👍
Thank you mate.
Thank you for all the little details and clarifications
Thank you for watching 🙏
This is very good and detailed & exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
Thank you
Great video. Insightful to those of us considering. Thanks!
You easily have the best Tesla videos out
Thank you
Great video dude. I’ve just ordered a Model 3 S+. Should hear tomorrow for approx delivery date 🤞🏼. Gutted I ordered before seeing this for the referral code.
Enjoy the new car mate
Thanks for all the info - eagerly awaiting delivery day here...
Great video. Looking at leasing a model 3. Going for a test drive this weekend!
Excellent video as always! Currently driving a 2020 Model 3 LR.
Nice one mate. Hope you’re enjoying it too.
Hi Chris I currently drive a BMW M2 Competition which might at first not seem like a typical EV buyer however the running costs are simply astounding on the EV front and it’s got my attention. I think first action is a test drive to check I can enjoy the difference as opposed to regretting the move! Your vlogs have been highly informative so thank you. Cheers, Kevin.
Great video. Nice clear and informative. 👍👍
Currently driving a Honda Civic 2019 and I love it !
Nice one mate.
Its crazy I’m actually planning on buying a Tesla in a few months and I was looking for a referral code 😂thanks man
Good luck mate and enjoy too 💪
excellent video
Thanks for another great video. Currently driving a vw passat .
Thanks for watching mate
Hi, looking to buy the Model Y just as soon as it gets here. I’ll be watching this video a few dozen times before then.
I just ordered my Tesla Model 3 & I’m waiting patiently my wait time is 7-11 weeks I just pray I get it earlier than 7 weeks but I’ll just have to wait and see. GREAT VIDEO,THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE !
That's awesome, good luck with the wait. Hopefully before summer.
I Hope & pray it’s before summer as well that’s me for replying & stay safe 😎
another great video. Love your work, Chris. I'm currently driving a MB G500 and have ordered a M3Performance which should arrive within the next 2 weeks! looking forward to the "wooosh" (and spending less on petrol!!)
Happy Sunday Mate, I’m currently driving a paid off 2016 Ford fusion SE It’s black on black with 5% window tint Aesthetic wise it’s pretty pleasing. My gripe with the car is the fuel efficiency & that the black paint shows lots of defects. Also it feels like a old car with no OTA updates. We’re currently saving for a home & after that we really want to get a model Y for the family. Great video like always, cheers!
Thanks for the positive comment mate. Appreciated. A Model Y is a great choice for family, I’d be very tempted when it arrives in the U.K.
2020 Seat Leon Cupra but I would absolutely love a Model 3! Great video as always.
Thank you mate
currently driving a ford vehicle and have never owned an electric vehicle. looking into buying a model 3 the past couple years but haven’t made the switch due to not having enough money yet. new subscriber, love the videos, keep up the good work! i will look into more incentives you mentioned!
Thank you mate.
Keep up the good work mate. Enjoying these videos from Pakistan. I'd love to own a refreshed tesla model S.
Thank you mate
A very informative video well explained
Thanks Stephen!
Great videos - found really informative when making decision to take the plunge to EV and a Tesla. Have used your referral link so hope you get to enjoy another road trip!
Awesome, thank you mate. And enjoy the new car.
A fantastic video as usual, keep up the great content 👍🏼
Can you please make a video of the cars interior lights and possibly upgrading them?
I'm thinking of creating a second channel to cover things like this, so stay tuned mate.
Such a brilliant video!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the video much love
Thanks for the support
Hi, I so nearly went for the Model 3 recently off the back of your videos. My mouse was over the Purchase button several times. In the end though I decided to go for one last "treat" and ended up buying an M2 Competition. Defo electric next. Keep on producing the great content mate.
Sounds like a nice car! I'd be tempted back to an M too, but EV is totally different. Thanks too mate!
Been driving my 2021 Model 3 SR+ since Dec 2020, awesome car!
Great choice mate!
I want a video describing how what you do for a living or what you do outside of UA-cam.
Thanks for another good video. I’m currently driving a VW Passat and looking at a M3 LR.
Thank you mate.
Another great vid mate, Keep up the good work :)
Thank you Ethan!
Used your referral code today. Keep up the content
Thank you dude
Great video, thanks for sharing the tips. Currently without a car at the moment but have a Model Y on pre-order from the Giga Berlin. Will certainly be checking out your other videos for accessories, etc to get beforehand. Cheers
That’s great. Where are you located? I can’t order a Model Y yet here in the U.K., but keen to.
@@SpawnPoiint I am in Switzerland. From the UK but moved here a few years back. Understand the UK cannot order Model Y yet as my old boy is also interested. Guess you'll just have to keep patient for now :)
love your videos mate
Thanks mate.
I was thinking the village you was driving round at the beginning looked awfully familiar! I used to work in the Tesco just round the corner from where you set off hahaha! Small world!
I picked up a new Civic Type R but I just keep coming back to Tesla videos for the tech
Thanks mate
Thanks for time stamps 😃
No problem, thanks mate.
Wow i love your vids your soooo underated
Thanks for the support!
Excellent video as always mate; would love to see a video on non Tesla public charging and the differences between the two
Thanks mate. I did cover that in a dedicated video actually last year. It’s called public charging.
Great video, and excellent contents
Thanks mate
I don’t even drive and I love your Tesla videos
Thanks dude
Just sold my RAV4 hybrid as part of my Tesla plan. Now to make the vital choices and join the queue! Thanks for the info - really useful. Can’t decide at mo what colour, white or the grey? White looks lovely but in our climate will always look dirty! So have to get my head around that first. Nigel - Rotherham
Thanks for the video. I’m currently driving a Mercedes C350e PHEV. Model 3 long range on order.
That's awesome mate, no problem too!
Thanks for another great video. I’m currently driving the Peugeot e2008.
That's great mate, a nice sized car that, and I've not seen many around yet either.
@@SpawnPoiint yeah, think it’s gone under the radar a bit really. Not seen many youtube reviews etc on it. It’s a been really reliable and good fun to drive, really nippy.
Great video thanks. I'm currently driving Honda CR Z Hybrid.
Thanks for watching mate.
Great video, currently driving a 2014 Jaguar XF, planning on buying the new model S plaid+
Nice one. That’ll be awesome.
Model 3 Standard in blue about to be ordered right now!
Chilling with the video
Cheers mate 🤙
Awesome video
Thanks for watching mate
the longe range model 3 I'm planning on getting that.
I cant afford a Tesla (yet) hopefully in the next few years more competition will push prices down, but ideally, a Tesla like yours would be great i love everything about it. Currently I'm a "proud" owner of a Suzuki Baleno lol. As always, great content, keep rolling these videos!!
Thank you mate. And I totally agree, it would be great if more competition drove the prices down for everyone. That's a world we need to live in.
Currently driving a 2017 Range Rover Sport, probably a used X in a few months, or a standard range 3 which can then go to the wife, when the Y is actually available in the U.K. probably middle 2022 so we can go fully electric, solar and Tesla battery set-up. Good video by the way, very clear and informative
What mic do you use? Your voiceover is so clear and to the point.
Thanks. It’s the yeti. I’ve covered a video on my UA-cam setup too.
Currently driving the VW T-Roc. Still in contract for a few years yet, but the ID3 or Tesla 3 look good for me, range anxiety is my main problem, Tesla will be fine for my 180 mile commute as there is no charging at my work or nearby in London at the moment.
Thanks for all your videos, top man!
Thanks for watching mate
Great video, looking at the Model Y when it’s available in the UK.
Great idea mate. Will be great when we have it.
Hi Chris. Thanks for another interesting video. Word of caution about ordering accessories prior to delivery - between ordering and receiving my M3SR+ (Sep to Nov 2020) they did the 2021 refresh so the console changed and qi 'phone charger included. Not likely to be updated again soon but worth bearing in mind.
That’s a fair point mate. I guess if the delivery is only 2 weeks, you should be ok, but it’s not something I thought about.
Your videos are great
Currently driving 2010 Hyundai Santro(India)
Thank you mate
I'm not even close to being able to buy one, specially here in Spain, but I hope that in a few years I can fulfill this dream. I am very excited about the future "model 2", the idea of a more affordable and compact model really suit me perfectly.
Best of luck too mate.
Fantastic Video, just used your Referral Code to order a Model 3 :)
Awesome, thanks mate.
Anytime keep up the fantastic work.
Love to see another Tesla video. Is there any chance you can can get other Teslas ( New model 3, S and X) for a week and do the reviews? I think Tesla will be happy to give you these cars for making video
I think I’ll reach out and ask one day
Great vid as always. Cruisin in an 06' Mercedes, wanting the S but more realistically looking at the 3 and its affordability over the S it seems.
Thanks mate. The 3 and S are definitely very different, but the 3 is still great.
Got my M3 back in September 2020, 5 months ownership but have only drove 2.5k miles 😔 hope we can start traveling again soon!
Awesome video,man! I drive Audi A4 2018.
Thank you dude 🙏
Driving Twingo 3 - 2016... Hoping to buy Model 3 LR RED 2021...
Also great video as always...
Thanks mate. That’ll be awesome.
Love your Tesla videos! Hope you’ve got more in the way.
For as long as people watch them, I'll make them. The last few have very low interest, so this is a test video for me.
Far from being able to afford one or being able to buy one but still watched this :-D Loved it. More road trips! :-D
BTW that kitty at 9:56 though!
Currently driving Suzuki Sx4 - sigh!
Thanks for the support mate.
Awesome video as usual. Top notch quality.
If you had the choice between a 2020 model 3 performance (ex demo.
I'd go for the Long Range, personally. I could have got the performance back in 2019, but the LR was the sweet spot for me, so I'd do the same today.
I'm currently driving an Audi A3. I've had it for nearly 6 years now. I am looking to buy a Tesla Model 3 at some point next year or maybe at the end of this year. This is some great advice btw
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment!
Currently driving a Skoda Octavia 2015 2l TDI. Picking up Model 3 LR 2022 in 4 weeks hopefully!
You showing off that you’re from the future mate? 😂
Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your videos, I've watched quite a few without realizing. I like watching desk tour vids, wanted to make sure the PS5 Pulse 3D headphones were decent and recently started considering a Tesla Model 3.
If you could do me a couple of Golf swing videos, Sony A7ii lens videos and A day in the life of a video game developer, you'd have the full house.
Also good to hear a northerner on YT
haha that's awesome, thanks for sticking around, it's appreciated!
Interesting hearing differences between UK and US! Great tips here for future owners :)
What’s the main differences for you? I didn’t think they’d be much different.
@@SpawnPoiint the driving test was a good point, I believe we have something similar in the states but can't be sure. Delivery times are also much longer since it has to be shipped so far. Hopefully that changes with the new berlin factory
Totally agree mate. We actually have a ship tracking site so we can see where the car is and how long til it ports 😂. Takes over 30 days once it’s been put on the boat to get here.
@@SpawnPoiint wow!
Excellent video. I currently drive a Seat Leon Cupra 290 and the wife has a Cupra Ateca 310. I'm looking to replace the Leon with a Tesla M3P or LR. Not only for savings on fuel costs but for the convenience of home charging. Atm the Leon costs around £80 to fill and will return around 250miles.
I'm currently locked in with Octopus energy from last year at 18pence per kW 24hrs a day.
What to know before buying a tesla? Be able to afford one.
Id love to see an up-to-date video on the total costs you've made over the time you've had it if possible.
Like the costs of charging over the years at home (excluding referalls and super chargers), home plug installation, all accessories, tyres, etc)!
Currently im rocking a BMW 320D F31 Estate!
I will definitely do one mate, thank you too. Oh the estate is nice!
Another great video.👍Test drove a LR AWD last week as a possible replacement for my MX5 ND. Use it for a 100 mile round trip commute each day, so a lot of possible savings in petrol. Thought it would be a disappointment compared to the MX5, but was surprised at how much fun the handling was and I didn't really miss the exhaust note. Tesla have actually offered a competitive trade-in price so probably going for it. Just got to decide on colours/should I get the Performance.
That’s awesome mate. You’re right the noise/exhaust note doesn’t seem such a big deal once you’re planting your foot either. Enjoy which ever you go for.
2015 WRX and want model 3
Hope Tesla sorts their quality in the future as well as makimg their interior more luxurious
Well finally I got to push that order button. Another 1k miles heading your way 👍🏻
Thank you mate! Enjoy too.
2015 Subaru WRX! But I’m leaning on selling that and opting for model 3 long range.
Hi nice to see a uk tesla video that's actually informative 👍 just a few ? If you can answer, 1 would you recommend second hand or new, and more importantly what does the UK government do to help with buying electric (tesla first choice of mine) ie grant's, insensitives anything else. Thanks for any info and keep up with the videos 😀👍
Thank you. There are grants available which is automatically taken into account on Tesla’s website when ordering (it shows it in the calculation). I’d happily buy second hand, as the warranty is great and problem free to use.
Thx for that great video SpawnPoiint, i have right now a Prius Prime and i can tell you easily that my next car will be a Tesla model 3 long range. If you don't mind, when I will change my car, I will use your referral code I want those sweet sweet 1k kilometer.
That’s awesome Pierre. Thank you too.
