    The argument behind why people don't want Teslas are built behind this premise that no one's time can be wasted. Over time, I've just learned that people have shitty time management. I LOVE my Tesla and even use the time I spend at a supercharger as down time, a pause in my daily schedule to catch up with friends and family. Ironically, it has made my life better lol!

      I agree. When I’m charging it’s usually next to a Starbucks, gas station and shops and I get a chance to get something and it’s done charging by the time I’m done.

      I love the roar of an engine. I love tinkering in cars. I don’t want ice cars to go away. I love my Tesla. All of those things are true. I’m also a corporate attorney and I’m busy as shit. My wife is a doctor. I agree with the time management comment. Yes, some people really can’t find time to supercharge regularly. But for me, it’s nice down time. I most charge at home or work so I don’t do it often. 15-20 minutes at the ePump gets you 200 miles easy. Not a big deal for me.

      You can use that excuse all you want if you want to waste your time every time you have to charge your car by all means you’re welcome to for many people especially knowing that eventually the times will come down but 45 minutes just to charge your vehicle when you were on a road trip going from New York to Dallas for example and known that you’re gonna have to stopeight or nine times that’s a solid extra seven hours of time you’ll have to add on

    Also I’ve watched tons of videos about Tesla to come to what I hope is an objective purchasing decision. I want to hear about the good and the bad but most Tesla owners are fanatics who only sing praises. yours is the first to mention the monthly internet fee and how it doesn’t come with a spare tire. I never knew those things. I think i agree with you that it’s still well worth it but it’s good to get the whole picture.

    I really appreciated this video, thank you! Trying to find out if I should get a Tesla and this helped.
    On another note, batteries are quite well understood in physics. Of course, if you use less battery overall (if you're not plugging phones you're using less battery, etc) the health will not decrease as fast, giving the illusion it is improving. Any kind of usage will contribute to reduce the life-span of a Lithium Ion battery.
    These batteries, at their core, operate by semi-reversible redox reactions. During charging we are promoting the oxidation reaction Li2X > LiX + Li+ + e- and then using the ion and electron, the reduction reaction: Li+ + e- > Li. This replenishes the Li present in the battery. When discharging, the promoted reaction is the oxidation: Li > Li+ + e- and then the reduction: LiX + Li+ + e- > Li2X.
    So, no new material is being put into the battery when charging/discharging, the battery already contains a finite amount of particles that will last seemingly forever. You might ask, what makes it go one way during charge and another during discharge. Well, when you supply an electric circuit, the electrochemical potential changes, and this is what mediates which redox reaction happens. When it stops charging and no electrical load is being supplied, the other redox happens. These seem completely reversible reactions, and they are. The problem is that loss of the electrolytes is not avoidable by forming an SEI, high temperatures, high/low voltages, particle impact deterioration, the cathode and anode deteriorating over time and being able to hold less, etc. This happens even when the battery isn't being used but at a much lower rate. The more you use the battery (higher/lower voltages, temperatures) the more stress you're placing and these reactions which promote deterioration of the battery happen at a higher rate. The problem is maintaining a decent level of battery usage and prolonging its lifespan. Batteries are often accompanied by battery managing systems that try to keep it in a range between 20%-80% or whatever is most optimal for that battery and maybe warn you or display voltage. Btw: Temperature is by far the most impacting thing, keep it within a safe temperature!
    So, to conclude, it makes perfect sense that if you put less strain on it, by keeping it not too low but now too high percentage levels and using less items at a time, and using less battery overall, then it will last longer. The answer provided by Tesla is likely due to the fact that there is virtually no difference between keeping your battery at 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%. The system should be optimized for these ranges. Lower percentages are just generally not recommended because it's generally better for QoL to have higher percentages of battery. So, anywhere between these ranges is fine to keep your Tesla, and to be fair even lower ones as long as you don't get too low. It's safer to keep it in the range they claim because we don't know :D
    Edited: Formatting and addition of temperature tip. Added first line. Added last line.
    I really couldn't stop laughing after you said "maybe some of you sleep in a Tesla car". I was thinking for the price of a model S, you could buy an okay apartment, why not just buy the Tesla and live there? :D

Even a hybrid can give you 120 miles a gallon. But if you own solar panels then you’re never paying for gas and to charge. You actually pay at first since you have to pay for solar panels and the expensive Tesla but if you play the long game then it can be free and the sun is giving you the miles! 😂

    Great video! I own a Model 3, and Tesla Service treated me like a vagrant after my warranty expired. Took my car in to my Portland, OR service center for a recall repair, and they gave me an old Model S loaner with dog hair and mud all over the interior. It was disgusting. They wouldn't clean it and claimed they didn't have any other cars. Uber Credits weren't going to cut it for my weekend driving needs.
    The app informed me to pick up my car on a Saturday after their Service Center had closed. I had to knock on windows to get a tech to open up and address the broken plastic clips that I found in my car and the rattling noises. The techs were loudly banging on my car to dislodge loose plastic! No way that didn't cause other issues. After an hour, they didn't fix it and just returned the car to me, no apologies.
    My suspension also started to make horrible squeaking sounds during turns and going over bumps.
    I complained when they were open a few days later. Told by the rep that their techs didn't owe me an apology, the banging was following their procedure, and the suspension noise is normal. $200 extra if I want my car looked at! $497 to replace upper control arms that probably are causing the noise!
    My car only has 35K miles! I hate to say it, but Tesla Service is worse than my previous gas cars' stealerships.

    If you live in an apartment, you could use supercharging, 20 minutes gives you 60 to 80 percent battery, more than enough to get you through a couple of days or more. Charge your battery once a week to 100%. Buy a spare tire if that is a concern. The car is very low to no maintenance at all and if you are handy, you could fix it yourself, it is very easy. Any body shop could repair Teslas if it is not structural damage, but things are improving. Teslas are cheaper now and you could get a basic model 3 for 39k and the gov. incentive will put the car in the lower 30k. If you want a cheaper model buy a used car with a guarantee or even without it, these cars are very reliable and save you a lot of money. The internet connection is optional, you could use your phone hotspot instead.

    I own both model Y and Prius, and here are my real world numbers. In my recent trip from San Francisco to Davis California, I added 113 miles with SuperCharge that costed me around $19.00. With Prius, it would consume (113miles / 57mpg) 1.98 Gal of gas. The current gas price in California is about $4.5/gal. So the cost of Prius for 113 miles would be ($4.5/ gal x 1.98gal) $8.90. Tesla advertised “potential saving” is actually twice expensive than a gas car on a road trip.

      Did another road trip but this time with home charging for comparison. I drove from Bay Area to Stockton, one way 61 miles, round trip 120 miles. No traffic. I started with 90% battery and 31% remaining when return. Overnight home charging (off peak) back to 90% costed me $12 (~47KW). If I would take my Prius for the same trip, it would consume (120 miles/55mpg) 2.2 gal of gas. Yesterday the gas price is $5.00/gal in California. So the cost of taking Prius for the same trip would cost me $11.00. Still beat Tesla even with $5 gas price. -:). No prejudice, just want get the numbers out.

    1) On changing, I agree IF you drive long range a lot, but I drive 13 miles to work, 13 back. I can go on sport mode all the time no issue. 2) My apartment has charging stations. Since 2016ish I have never seen an apartment complex without one. Arkansas even had one when I lived there. 3) LOL on repair. My F150s engine broke, it was in the shop for like a month. Repair times suck all round. 4) Yes the battery thing is annoying.... but eh, I don't travel far, again if you do, yeah maybe stay gas. 5) No spare tire? Oh well. I've never had a catastrophic flat tire. I have ran over a nail twice, both in my F150. It alerts me I was losing pressure, I pulled into a service station and they patched it and gave it air. To need a spare because you can't make it a few miles to a station you need to annihilate that tire. I have never needed a spare in my life and I'm low 40s. 6) You don't want to modify your car, unless you are a mechanic, lol. I got a dealer installed supercharger on my F150 and the engine blew up TWICE in 6 years. I will never modify again, Ill just buy a fast car factory spec. It was super fun dusting sports cars with a truck though. 7) No apple or Andrioid..... I don't care. Im focused on driving, I am a speeder and hyper aggressive driver, all my focus is on the road, not music, phone calls or anything else. 8) My Tesla Model 3 Performance cost 51k before taxes. Tesla prices go up and down like a roller coaster. 51k is a steal for a 3.2 second to 60 car.
    I 100% agree with the end. I WANTED a high end BMW M class, AMG Merc, or a Tesla Model S Plaid but I can't afford it, so 3 Performance it is. Maybe some day I'll make more money, but as it stands Im doing better than most Americans and better than 97% of humanity so what can you do.

    1. There is no charge anxiety with Tesla as you’ve pointed out. Tesla has done an exemplary job. Unlike all other companies. I’ve never waited for an available charger. Ever. In 3 1/2 years. Always a great experience. Across the Midwest and traveling to NY, never had to wait.
    2. Even for people at apartments, superchargers are plentiful near or at work. My brother in law has free charging at his work. Becoming more common all the time.
    3. Repairs? What repairs? EV motors are heavy duty and can last millions of miles. Tesla owners doing ride sharing are hitting a million miles on original batteries. 90%+ of any ‘recalls’ or repairs are handled with over the air updates. Aka zero time and inconvenience to even need to see a dealer. Life is good.
    5. I charge to 80 to 90% regularly. No anxiety. All good. Don’t worry be happy. At 45K Miles and 3 1/2 years battery still charges to 94%.
    6. Yep. We face a penalty for wind, for high speed, for cold weather. But as a human I need to stop every couple hundred miles anyhow.
    6. Lots of cars come with no spare tires now, or space savers which aren’t even worth putting on. Who cares. We mostly run on run flat tires. If you are risk adverse throw a spare in your trunk as you point out.
    7. No need to modify a car which is always continually getting better with each over the air update. Tesla modifies it for you. Mine is better faster and smarter than when new. Tesla model 3 performance was 0 to 60 MPH in 3.21 seconds when brand new. Now it’s closer to 3.03 seconds. It’s amazing. Don’t try to modify it unless you just wish to waste money my friend. Let Tesla do it for you.
    8. Teslas music and entertainment systems are fantastic. It’s inexpensive. I am an apple fan too. Fireplace is awesome. And I agree with you it’s as close to perfect a car as one can reasonably expect.
    Glad we are both fans. All the best to you. Tesla model 3 is truly a remarkable car.

      Everyone is undoubtedly aware of Tesla's recent problems, from the Autopilot failures to the fires. These compiling issues have resulted in a massive recall. The company has recalled almost a half-million vehicles as recently as December 2021. Though the most significant number of recalls is for the rearview camera, it is just the latest in a long string of mishaps plaguing the company.
      Front hood problems and trunk latch problems also caused the recalls. Though they may not seem like much, a growing trend in faulty components being used in Tesla cars leads to poor overall quality.

Also, the charge to 100% damages the battery, but you have to do that often or the car can't predict how much range you have left as the voltage level is similar for a full charge and empty charge. There are other advantages such as extremely slow charging in winter, significantly reduced performance and range in winter, etc. You are lucky not to have LFP to be honest :)

      After 7 years you would be lucky to sell it for £7000 even with a new battery.And if you did it means all you would get back is the £7000 you just paid for the battery .Best to dump the car and call it quits.

    • @CameraToFreedom
      @CameraToFreedom  2 роки тому +3

      So if you get the performance it comes with spoiler and that badge that says it’s performance. Best of all you can pick the 20 inch turbine rim that looks so damn good on the model 3. Long range you have to buy aftermarket if you want that rim. Performance, not many people get it so you can actually get it in a month sometimes! Long range, everyone wants it so the wait time can be as long as a year now! Yes you can get a software update to give your long range a speed boost but not sure if it’s still fast as the performance. After having my long range for a while I hardly need that 350 miles. 313 for performance is long enough. I’m usually charging to 250 miles in mine and I still don’t use that much miles. If you want that sporty look plus faster purchase and that speed that makes you faster then most super car then performance is it. I kind of regret getting the long range and wished for the performance! Bet it’s so fun to drive that!

Sounds like its a her problem not a tesla. #2 If you live in an apartment yet still blow 50-70 grand on a car, you are awful with money. Dont buy a tesla. #3 Your car shouldn't ever NEED to be fixed if your a good driver. (sounds like you know a lot of bad woman drivers) Long wait times are not just for Tesla.. I just had a new clutch put in and the shops are so backed up it took them 3 weeks to even get me in. #4 Takes 5 mins to figure out Tesla DOES have an absolute answer its 90% right on their website. Exact same thing with ICE cars.. Sometimes you get 25mpg, sometimes you get 28mpg.. Imagine this, sometimes youll get 19mpg. Depends on how much fuel you are using. #5 99.999% of the times spare tires do nothing but add weight/take up cargo space. Also, it would have to be a full size spare tire, not a small one, 5000 pound car. Heavy cars do not use tiny spares. If you get a flat, plug it, refill tire.. If your "stressed" over that, just call roadside assistance. #6 Modified cars, I remember being 20. Ruining warranties, adding intakes that actually make the car slower without a proper tune.. Fun times blowing hundreds of dollars to get 20 extra HP. If you are older and still enjoy that stuff, buy a reliable 5k civic and boost it.. #7 I owned Iphone since 2008 and never once used apple play so cant comment on this. Bluetooth has worked in every car iv owned so dont care about this. #8 "This car has limited steaming service, it ONLY has, 1,2,3,4,5, SIX services! While 95% of every car in the world has 1, its called a radio. Thats some first world complaining. #9 Spends 50-70,000 dollars on car, worried about 10$ a month. If you're that cheap, why did you buy this car? #10 Alright now the car is affordable to you, yet you just complained about spending 10$ a month. Sounds like you personally have zero reasons and just wanted to post a video and milk that top 10 algorithm.

    I don't know why the Model 3 displays the charge (on the dash) in terms of distance (i.e. kms) instead of percentage of power remaining. The problem with the distance reading is it is woefully inaccurate. That's because there are so many other drains on power besides the distance you have driven (heat; a/c; maybe even radio? to mention a few). It doesn't take long to realize that you cannot rely on that readout in order to plan your recharging strategy. Maybe not a huge deal, once you get used to it, but a bit of a negative on the Tesla design nonetheless.

      You’re right. You can tap on the miles and it’ll turn into a battery percentage so that’s easy to do.

    It’s still more affordable to maintain the Tesla. I would charge at a supercharger and do that off peak hours but even if peak hours still cheaper vs gas fill ups. No oil changes/brake jobs takes years. The solution to this if you aren’t a full EV owner is to keep a ICE vehicle or gas car like I will. I’d say the most expensive you’ll pay is the monthly payment and insurance. Yes, if you get in an accident that’s tough .. but besides that these Tesla cars are reliable.

    • @CameraToFreedom
      @CameraToFreedom  8 місяців тому

      That is so true I’ve had my model three for two years and at 70,000 miles I only changed the tires so I had paid for no other maintenance. I just feel like that when something does break down it’s going to be super expensive so maybe in the end it could kind of balance out but either way once you go, it’s hard to go back. I did own a cheap Porsche with manual gears and I do admit I do miss driving that car. Tesla just feels very automatic, which is a good thing, but if you love to drive and feel that engine on the road might have a second car For the weekend

    so my current car is a 2022 hyundai tuscon hybrid, which is now EOL by collision with an ELK and im renting a model 3.
    i am not an EV fanboy, or a tesla fanboy by any means...this is my first endeavor with one of these appliances..
    your video is older, now the M3 is $43,000 which makes it cheaper than the other EVs. but when you compare your pricing at the time you got yours...the tech is far superior to the others as well as standard features so the pricing makes sense, even more now that they are cheaper.
    as for the flat tire....
    i bought a generic wheel, and cheap tire for my hybrid that didnt come with a spare. that one fit in the vehicle
    my former car a 2015 bmw 3 series has no place for a spare, and for this i got a used bmw rim and a cheap tire. i kept the tire at home and around town figure i can get a ride, or an uber and get my jack and tire.
    as for the out of town thing, i would just put it in the trunk on road trips. tesla has space under the floor to compensate for your own personal space that you lose, plus the frunk...so its inconvenient, but its at least a safe solution.
    car cutlure....car culture has turned to trash anyways. its full of dooshy people and their fart cans and stupid burble noises and punks. so no real loss. as ive gotten older i really dont care anymore anyways my last fun car like that was my above 3 series that i tuned and lowered and made it personalized. that as my last endeavor and im ok with that.
    car play....i had it in my tuscon, and i HATE it. HATEEEEEE it. im currently renting a model 3 tesla, and i absolutely love the onboard system, and the voice commands are very human and quick. carplay is trash, i know people will argue with me over it, but its trash, i dont find the use of it, when bluetooth literally does everything except put my maps on the screen...and tesla navigation serves a major integrated purpose such as preconditioning for super chargers, mapping out road trips with power and up to date open charges and the like.....all this is far more important over LOUSY carplay and it makes car play totally inferior. if you want apple music, you can do that on a tesla anyways.
    most new cars give you online services for a fee, which is paying for the internet connection which is not unreasonable. but no other car has the sentry feature which by itself is worth it as well as anything else. and legacy automakers idea of online connection is basically giving you remote start and checking the status of your car. tesla gives you something for that $10 a month that has ongoing value. my tuscon just tells me gas level, miles, unlock and lock status and remote start. big deal, im glad its free for 3 years (well doesnt matter now, car is totalled)
    im a cheap fkr like you, probably cheaper because i would never live in that expensive pit called commiefornia like you do, and i would not think twice about this $10 fee, especially when im already saving $10 a week and more on gas anyways.

    Well in getting my Tesla in January and I'm living in a apartment 🙃 and don't have a parking space for me but I'm going to have to rely on supercharger or normal charging 🙃

    • @CameraToFreedom
      @CameraToFreedom  2 роки тому

      It’s good that the charging challenge isn’t stopping you from getting this Tesla. I love my model 3. With so many chargers around you’ll be fine. Your map app will even tell you how many stalls are free so you can go to the one without a line if you’re in a rush. If you charge it at night, you can make it a habit of going after 9pm and make it a Netflix event while it fully charged in 30 minutes!

    Just ordered a Performance, after new price reduction and $7,500 federal tax rebate it now qualifies for, all in with all fees it was $48,000 out the door. For a car that does 0-60 in 3 seconds, that's bananas! I'll take the range anxiety and slime fix a flat no problem 😂

      We both come from a very different group of consumers. I am 48 years old with a family and children, you seem to be much younger in the stage of life. I buy a car for practicality, not for game, play, or show. you helped me nail all those very un acceptable annoyances with EV's and some specifically dedicated to the Tesla model 3 ! those EV's and tesla's are like iPhone gadgets, they serve a consumer psychology purpose more than engineering consumer audience. I need practicality, reliability, cost of owner ship and a no non sense device. the Tesla model 3 is a toy from what you described, and I do not buy a car as a toy but as an appliance. So it is a corolla hybrid for me all the way. no real negatives I can tell about it, bough two in a row and I am on my second corolla hybrid . the first one at 2017 and the second at 2019. experience in life does the trick. and let me thank you again, as you helped me to avoid a costly mistake. **there are some other negatives to tell about the tesla 3 I have found missing in your video but mentioned in other videos. like the easy staining of the white seats, or the very hot issue with the black once. the material is cheap vinyl and not real leather. the glass top is so stupid you must buy a after market shades, what tesla were thinking ?! the proprietary technology only tesla can fix which means a very very costly repairs after the warranty is over (like in Jaguar). the AC systems on those tesla 3 are known to be problematics and not reliable. the tires are expensive, very expensive because of their specs. the ride is very stiff because of the calibration of the shocks and the very low profile of the tires which means more dynamic driving but bad for comfort. and some more I don't remember now. all those adds up, so the adventure of having an EV seems worse from minute to minute. I will wait till their tesla Gen 2.0 cars Appear or for Toyota's EV's expected to debut as 2025 models in a year and a half from now. I need a grown up product and not a beta tester device.

      Wow thanks for the detailed description. It’s smart to decide in life for practicality instead of pure please. Don’t you want to treat yourself as your one guilty pleasure? You can keep your Corolla but dad who works hard for his family can feel like he deserves something just for himself. The tesla is just that for me. We have a SUV for the family but my wife told me to just get it for myself this time. All my life i drone practical cars and tried to save money but sometimes you want to enjoy that little guilty pleasure just for yourself of course without putting in harms way financially for your family. You’re a smart to think about your family first.

      There is no premium or standard electricity but maybe you’re talking about 110 V or 230 V. Whether it’s standard, long range, performance, they all use the same electricity.

      Wish the Tesla insurance was in all states. Before MD was allowed, I Passed on tesla years ago because most the Named brand insurance wanted 230-330 a month. With the tesla insurance from them its only 60 now. Only reason I picked one up. Way less than my past car lol.

    Here in UK the charge for electricity has gone up so much now its more expensive to charge elec cars ( out on the road side chsrgers ) than it is to fill up with petrol.Thats apart from the fact most elec cars are near £10,000 More expensive than the petrol equivalent same model .I mean how long is it going to take in fuel savings to get back that £10,000 you paid more for the car .??

      That’s crazy. I have solar panels and that’s when it really is worth it cause the sun is charging my Tesla. I’m only paying for the solar power loan and it’s less then my power bill. Once it’s all paid for then I’ll get free power. Why isn’t every body not owning solar panels.

      @John-ob7dh Рік тому

      @@CameraToFreedom once again its the initial cost of having solar panels fitted . until you get that cost back in fuel savings ( which could take years) you still are not saving any money thousands of people who live in high rise apartments can't have solar panels fitted .Ave cost here is at least £6000 if you can have them.thousands of people don't have their own driveways to plug car into a charge socket. Thousands of people have to park in the street.

      I agree. So far superchargers have been great where I’m at and it’s only growing as we speak. But here I’m Temecula, we do only have 2 small superchargers and there’s a line the few times I went there. You might be having a good experience in your area but there are people around in more rural areas that comes to a challenge.
