@@johng.2305 EV depreciation is a short term issue caused by continued tumbling new prices and increased performance, typical of any new tech. Once mature, EVs with their lower maintenance, lower running costs and longer life will have lower depreciation than ICE cars. That’s economically inevitable.
@WillBecker I think batteries will always deteriorate faster than an internal combustion engine therefore you are wrong on this one, atleast for the foreseeable future.
This video is stupid. If he didn't want to use a funnel that is his problem. The guy has a 40,000 dollar Tesla and worried about this kind of nickel dime stuff. Ridiculous.
15 minute charge, because you paid an electrician $4000 to install your fancy home charging system. All the purposely-hidden costs to skew the true cost of these things.
@@ikingipapa it can cost that much though. Depends on a whole heap of factors and is more of an edge case with your number being more representative of an average number here, if a little on the lower end of things so your point still stands. Figured I'd get in before you get a foolish reply.
Most Tesla owners couldn’t do the install themselves or they would electrocute themselves trying. 400 dollars for an electrician to run a 240v circuit and install the outlet, maybe if it were right next to the breaker panel. You didn’t mention the cost of the charger. The only reason to buy a Tesla is if you really don’t drive outside the city.
@av8rgrip I didn't mention the charger, I specifically said install. The charger is 420 tho. Oh and no I don't drive over 300 miles a day but neither do most people.
@@ikingipapa the point that the OP was making is still valid. There are hidden costs to owning an electric car and not all of it is dollars and cents. Can’t just be honest with people anymore, always gotta push the narrative. 110v charge can take days, 240v 6-8 hours, super charger 30 minutes. I’ve watched Tesla owners waiting in line for hours at a six bay charging station. Not to mention all the people in the news last winter whose teslas were DOA expensive paper weights. Or the areas where the infrastructure is failing because of electrical demand. Or the strip mining to make the batteries, or the replacement and disposal. Or the hidden costs of increased electricity rates due to demand and the cost of heating or cooling your home. Our electric rates have gotten so out of balance that my new high efficiency heat pumps never reach the economic crossover savings of heating with electricity vs heating with the natural gas backup system, not even close. And don’t even get me started on vehicles like the F-150 lightning.
And insane cost of replacement battery? And that it won't charge or run well in freezing temps? Or that most electricity used to charge it is produced by burning coal or other fuels? Or that it would have been more environmentally friendly to repurpose on older car so that its materials don't end up in the landfill or water supply? Or that the cobalt used to make batteries for them are mined by slaves or at minimum indentured servitude in Africa and that to mine the other materials needed we need to blast the earth apart and there are hazardous byproducts that can ruin the environment? I could go on, but yeah, electric cars are awesome.
@@harrison00xXx interesting that you have a "I'm a patriot" PFP yet you shit on a 100% American car company that reinvented EV's, employs over 140,000 Americans and launched an actual full self driving and then shared their designs with all other car companies including Ford and GM. you're so cool 😃

@AddyKnows I've heard horror stories, it's good when it's under warranty, but if it isn't, I heard they go for $18k to replace. I'd think it would be better to have a few batteries and easy to swap out or something, like pull up to a station and swap the battery out kind of thing.
Not talking about warranty replacement. The unavoidable cost after the warranty expires will cancel all the savings in maintenance, and until it's replaced the battery range will be degrading several percent per year. The only way to avoid that cost is to sell the car, which is why depreciation is so high.
@cottawalla battery degradation just like mpg. No difference. It also depends whos buying. I don't travel far, no more than 3-4 road trips yearly. Unsure why people think the battery will bust after warranty. Plently of Teslas with original battery with well over 100k.
Yup and thanks for telling me that it took you 15 minutes to charge after going to the parts store and back when it only takes my truck about 2 minutes at the gas station 😂
@@Crazy_Dashcam_Videos 2 seconds? On a road trip I stopped 0 times for fuel in the same distance that my cousin’s Tesla had to stop 3 times for hours at a time. Who’s the one saving time?
It all depends on your usage. We use an EV for short journeys (up to 100 miles or so) so charging takes about 30 seconds to plug in and another 30 seconds to unplug, don't care how long it takes because we're in bed. Because of our numerous low mileage journeys in winter, gasoline would tend to go off and the cat and EGR would quickly foul. Horses for courses.
Experts say to take the least amount of time charging to only charge to 80%. The last 20% takes much longer. How long it takes depends on if it's a fast charger, and how low they're drained when starting the charging.
@@fredflintstone8048 How long the last 20% takes is very vehicle dependent, our charges at about 5kW for the last 10% but 0-80% on a 100kW charger takes 35 minutes. If you are doing long distances on motorways, battery capacity isn't even that important, charging rate is. It makes little difference if you have to charge for an hour every 200 miles or half an hour every 100, except that a half hour break every hour and a half is better than an hour every three hours. But if you can charge at 200kW peak rather than 100, your total stop is only half as long.
I drive my cars for 200k miles…then give them to one of my kids to drive into the ground. One son is driving my 2012 GTI with 250k miles. My model 3 is at 85,000 miles so…I have a long way to go. Resale is irrelevant if you make wise financial decisions.
@@johncahill3644 What about the mining of cobalt and lithium, and the disposal of used batteries, and the fires that burn out of control in parking garages under office buildings?
If u own an electric car and it's in an accident in the u.k ....if you are injured inside or the cars alight and you can't get out ....the police won't touch it until the fire brigade has arrived . Be wary of these cars .
The materials that are used to make the batteries burn very hot, and the worst thing you can do with those fires is put water on them. Fire fighters don't try and stop the fires in the cars, rather they cool as much as they can around the cars to try and prevent spreading the fire. If your EV even gives a hint that it might be catching on fire, get out of it and as far from it as you can. Don't park it in a garage.
My battery is at a roughly 75 kWh capacity. At a roughly 95% charging efficiency, it would take approximately 79.2 kWh to charge it from 0% to 100%. My energy rate is $0.12904/kWh. So, it would cost $10.22 to get from 0% to 100%. No one drives an electric car like this, so to add just 15% of charge, it would cost $0.706494 per day.
How cold are winters in Chicago? I'm really curious to learn. My brother has a Tesla in Austria and I never heard him complain it doesn't work in the snowy mountains.
It's true. Cold weather is an enemy of every EV. Tesla's have liquid warming circulation systems for the batteries, but the pumps and the heaters to make them work use battery power. If you live in colder climates you might want to stay away from EVs. Especially if you have longer distances to drive.

Tesla recommends changing the oil in the motor drive units at 30k, 75k, 130k. Brake fluid every 2 years. Cooling system every 60k. Not to mention oiling and greasing door hinges. Check steering components annually along with suspension
Yes and all that diagnostic. It's more expensive to service a milk float. Did I mention the batteries if you have a collision they want to replace the car. I much prefer driving a proper car. I've no plans to ever buy something that isn't up to standard.
Yeah so? Those are not exclusive to EVs in every car you have to do similar maintenance. Only difference is in ICE car you'd have to do a lot more, for example an engine tune up + replace spark plugs at 40K 80K 120K ect. instead of if motor drive oil change.
That happens in California as well. A lot of people have dumped their EVs while they could still get some money back out of them and gone to hybrids. The most common regret of EV owners was being too quick to buy one without having any practical knowledge of what they are like to actually own and try and use.
@@fredflintstone8048 I live in California (in Alameda, about an hour drive from the Tesla Fremont factory) and I know lots of people with Teslas (I don't have one because I'm just not much interested in cars) and every single Tesla owner I know loves their Tesla. I have never known of anyone who sold their Tesla.
Fake news. There was +50 cars waiting to charge, so if there is 10 chargers and when all are in use loading time goes up 400% so let's say 3h per car there was freezing cold so maybe 4h So if you were 51st in line (50/10x3+3) hours in cold weather and your on your way

@@TringmotionCoUk Electricity generated by diesel generators is free, right? is increased tire wear also fuel? time spent waiting to charge your car, is it also fuel?
@@TringmotionCoUkno, they pay for it upfront in increased car cost (or don't, if the taxpayer is subsidising the bill). The £15k battery change is paying for the next 10 years of fuel.
Wait until it’s time to change the battery, you will be $hitting bricks. How often do you have to change the tires due to the weight and torque placed on them?
The thing is: idc how long it takes my car to charge while I do something else. It could take all night for all I care. I'm sleeping anyways. But you have to drive to a gas station every so often and wait for the car to fill up. Something I never ever have to do. That's a total waste of time. Why would I want to do that while I have better things to do? And I don't even own a Tesla. Nor do I want to. But EVs are just better suited to most car uses, if you have your own space where you park and charge it. If you don't, they s*ck, agreed. For very long distance drive, let's say more than 500 miles in one go, are ice cars still the better option. Anything else the EV is just better. Less noise, less smell, better performance, easier to drive, easier to maintain, less stuff that can break, easier to create your own "fuel". You can easily live off grid with an EV for an extended period of time. Ice cars constantly need a lot of infrastructure to be around and functional to operate. They are dinosaurs about to die out, but not quite being aware of it yet ...
So comforting knowing that you can have a very violent fire at any moment that is very difficult to put out. No risk of a fire in a gas vehicle when filling up washer fluid. Also, the low fluid light goes out immediately, don't have to cycle to have the light go out.
@@JLobo-lz8mhthat being said. Regular maintenance and having it under warranty+insurance is the way to maintain an ev. Dont be in cold weather. Dont charge to full. You can do all does things relatively fine but it significantly shortens the car lifespan overtime. Benefits being the money you save on gas.

Just a few questions. So how does this run in negative temperatures? Does the battery drain faster when it’s cold? How does it handle in the snow? What’s the cost for a supercharger at home? Would you recommend it for 1 hour commute ?
Cold weather is the enemy of any battery. It reduces the capacity. On top of that the batteries need to be kept above a certain temperature and have liquid passages around the batteries for heating them as well as cooling them when fast charging. The batteries must also run the heater and the pumps to circulate the liquid on top of the fact that their capacity is reduced.
What’s your monthly expenses? Car payment, insurance, electrical usage? My paid off for 12 years 2007 Prius with over 350k is still going strong. Average gas monthly $100, insurance $50, engine maintenance (pro rated) $20. Also my 1 time HV battery rebuild ($1600) is still probably cheaper than what you’ll spend on 2 tire changes. All the while my tires cost ~$350 set and can last 50k. It’ll be interesting to see if teslas make it 17 years
@ 😆😆 I removed it, sold it, replaced with way less expensive aftermarket and still was $800 in the black. And being it’s been paid off for years, no need to have full coverage like a Tesla. Veganisms kills brain cells. #🥩
I just bought a 2024 model Y but I still drive my 2001 camry everyday. The only reason I bought a Tesla was because of the price and @ 0% APR. I wanted a Prius. I pay approximately $2000 per year for the Tesla insurance . I charge it at home and I don’t see a significant increase in my power bill, because it don’t drive it much. I pay $400 per year for my Camry insurance. And spend about approximately $200 on gas per month if I was a daily commuter. and have spent around $5k on repairs since 2017. I read that maintenance on Tesla can be costly. All things considered, if Tesla is cheaper to maintain/repair, it would be a winner due to the energy cost of my gas powered vehicle. But I see how your prius beats Tesla
He'll find out as he gets closer to the time for replacing the batteries. The increase in depreciation is exponential and rapidly increases the closer they get to that date. I'm wondering what the replacement shops are, or are going to be charging for the disposal fee for the batteries.
@@OM617a I don’t know and can’t speak for others but the biggest reason I got my Tesla is because I’ve always been a servant to the planet. I also charge exclusively with solar power so I produce no carbon. My car is also so old that it’s more of an eyesore than a status symbol.

What's the purpose of buying a battery that you can't fill all the way ? Phone manufacturers say the same. That's what warranties are for. Exchange that battery right before the warranty expires 😅
Tell us about tires and insurance. And your milage when temperatures are in the low teens, and charge availability in towns with less than a population of 50,000 or a absolute certain link of chargers from coast to coast with super chargers.
Tires? No more wear than my ICE car. But then I drive carefully. Insurance? A bit more, but that's mostly because of more horsepower. Charging? 99.9 % of charging at home or work. There's a Tesla charger 5 minutes from home, despite under 10 000 living in the area. There are numerous other charging points that also can be used. Coast to coast? Seriously no problem using only Tesla-charging, but there are also here numerous charging places. Winter? Loses about 15-20% range. A longer trip takes a bit more planning, but not much. After 4-5 hours is always time to stretch and going for a bite. But then I don't live in a country which is about 10-15 years behind, but in Norway 😂
@@picitnewlol I have definitely seen the tires of 2 of my friends Tesla tires break quicker than my crv has the last 3 years they’ve owned it. That extra weight from these heavier electric cars do that.
@@michaelsmelley4382 No, there is not necessary more wear on the Tesla. My Tesla is soon two years old and wear is not an issue compared to other ICE cars I have owned and still owe. But I'm a careful driver and use a slower acceleration mode most of the time. Yes, I'm boring :) Your friend most likely likes to use the power which is within these vehicles ;) If your friend also has a performance model AND uses sport mode, then he most definitely will have more wear. If he has the performance model he also don't have the ability to rotate the tires, like I have with my Tesla and also do. Then he will have an uneven tire wear like you are describing. So in short, your friend has a 500 horsepowered sports car and uses it as such. So no surprise the tires shows wear. But I guess I loves it :) The weight isn't that much of a deal, just think about heavier ICE trucks which don't have this issue.
You hate Tesla. OK. Why do you need to share that negativity? Just drive your chrome mountain and be happy. OP hasn't bothered you so why lash out? Daddy issues?
2020 MYLR owner chiming in. In reality there isn’t really an economic difference between Gas/hybrid cars and Electric cars anymore. What you save on Gas and Maintenance is cancelled out with higher insurance premiums, higher road tax/registration renewals, unchanged cost to refuel as its just reframed as an electricity bill, and more often changed tires. In face value you think you’re saving money because you don’t see the expenses up front. When I check year over year on my annual expense report, its surprisingly unchanged. The only noticeable difference is that I spend more time at gas stations to charge my car during road trips. Thats based on my idle timer. In the end, you shouldn’t be buying an EV for economical reasons. Instead you should be buying it for lifestyle and beliefs. There is negligible economical improvements between my Model Y and my Camry
Absolutely correct, even here in Norway. I bought EV because of cheaper tolls in Oslo, otherwise it wouldnt have made sense. I pay higher insurance, and the services are just as expensive
hmm not sure what's happening for you . I'm picking up my tesla next week ,and the insurance quote for a 2020 was $218 for full coverage in california which is around the price I was paying on a gas car . i currently drive a bmw ev ,and my registration for 2024 was only $258, and my electric bill only went up 20-30 a month and another $11 on public fast chargers for August ,but the tires are pricey but it's not like i'm changing tires 3 times a year and my bmw have staggered tires so I can't rotate them ,and I'm saving 3K a year since I don't need gas and more savings due to no repairs meanwhile my wife ford fusion paid over 2,000 in gas in 2023 , had the battery replaced a few months ago which was 245 , another 330 on repair back in Jan. because the car wouldn't change gears , $105 oil change on July 22nd with another one later this year, ,and purchased a set of tires which was around 400-600 so with no more repairs she'll be arond 3,525-3,700 for the year while I'll be around 1,280 for a set of tires and electricity .
My M3 insurance was about $30 more per month than my Genesis G70. I have an excellent electricity plan. I am not trying to live a lifestyle or make a statement. Teslas are the best cars, period.

@fishwhistler7224 Wouldn't anyway but I met the german guy with the 1.5 million kilometers Tesla at a german Supercharger. He'll be shipping it to the US and drive there. Maybe you'll meet him.
I heard. It's the brakes. That one foot driving leads to rust on the brakes, which eventually led to failed inspections. Funny that the one thing that's failing is outdated technology that fails due to non-use and one of the few things they have in common with ICE vehicles.
I live in California and our only mandatory vehicle inspection is for smog. Teslas are exempt from this inspection as they have zero emissions so their failure rate here is zero.
Well when you only drive a few miles and put it on charge the second you get to your desination, of course it will be fast.

It only takes me 15 minutes to charge 150 miles at any supercharger and if I charge it at home, it charges completely overnight in just a few hours even if it's down to 20%. Costs me about $12.
Check the manual. Servicing your brakes is a must after a year, that goes double if you're in an area that gets road salt. Take off the wheels, take the pads out and clean and lube all relevant parts. My Model 3 Performance keeps having issues with corrosion on the discs. I switched to different pads, that solved the issue for me. Also make sure to do an alignment check every 20k miles or so and have someone look for the upper control arms, those tend to be absolutely shot by around 30-40k miles, which also throws out your alignment. I'll get the first round of replacement under warranty, after that I will put in aftermarket Nylon bushings and a KW Suspension. Finally make sure to take out your air filters and remove debris behind them, if leaves start to accumulate moisture gets trapped and you will have issues. That being said: With the new Model 3 Highland Ludicrous on the Horizon, I might get an upgrade somewhat soon 🎉
@@getalife944 tge regenerative breaking IS the problem. They don't get used, therefore they don't dry (which leads to corrosion), they don't take off enough corrosion on the disc and that leads to them having poor Performance. Not in issue in dry climates, everywhere else it is
Only 2018 models have trouble with control arms 2019 and later will last a long time. I took my 2023 Model 3 Performance in to have the brakes lubed at 30k. Tesla said they were perfect and really didn't need it. I live in Michigan with road salt. Still no problem. The car has 50k miles and the brakes are fine.
The fact is they have huge maintenance problems which are mainly the tires the tires don't last worth a shit I've gone through two tires already first one was the OEM that completely disintegrated when the rim bent the second one was a brand new hankook which didn't last only a few thousand miles
That’s insane. I drive a subcompact gas car and I replaced my tires early at 35,000mi when they probably could’ve made it to 45k. I’ve since put 51,000mi on the second set and they still have enough tread life to make it to at least 55k. I respect EVs for not requiring oil changes (which are rising in cost), transmission fluid changes, and replacements for several belts (as well as eye-wateringly costly repairs like replacing the alternator or the transmission) But automakers need to figure out this tire situation sooner than later
@@TurboPikachu yeah but it's not a Tesla Teslas have issues with tires due to the torque and whatever they go through tires like people go through underwear

@@afiguerasjr Gonna be awhile. My Leaf has 308K miles and its still fine on OEM battery. And its one of the WORST NMC EV batteries you can buy for an EV.
The problem with this argument is that it's actually pretty rare for EVs to need the battery replaced before the car is end-of-life. There are still thousands of 6-12+ year-old EVs with 150-250k+ miles on the road or on the used market today with about 80% of their original battery capacity. Plus, I believe it is federally mandated (in the US) for auto makers to provide EV batteries with a minimum 8 year 100k mile warranty on new EVs. -- And before you dismiss me as a Tesla stan, I actually don't even like Tesla (for numerous reasons), I just do my research. In fact, Tesla has a tendency to trick their customers into buying a $15k new battery because there was a 'fault in the battery not covered by the warranty' when actually it was a simple failure of a sensor or something inside the battery pack. It's like a $50 part that could be fixed by removing and opening the battery, replacing the part, and putting it all back together. Take it to an EV repair shop like Electrified Garage (Rich Rebuilds on YT is the co-owner of that shop) and you could have it fixed for under $1k. So no, EV batteries rarely need replaced. Tesla just likes ripping people off.
My EV has gone 308K miles original battery. Nissan Leaf. A typical ICE car would of gone through a transmission and would be looking at its 2nt tranny replacement by 300K, not to mention all the other maintenance and parts it would of needed by now.

What you save on Gas and Maintenance is cancelled out with higher insurance premiums, higher road tax/registration renewals, unchanged cost to refuel as its just reframed as an electricity bill, and more often changed tires. In face value you think you’re saving money because you don’t see the expenses up front. When I check year over year on my annual expense report, its surprisingly unchanged. The only noticeable difference is that I spend more time at gas stations to charge my car during road trips. Thats based on my idle timer.
Most people need a new engine during that timeframe IF they even keep a car that long. So let's see if you still have your car that's not upgradeable in any way and will be slower and more costly from brake rotors & discs maintenance, transmission, engine and other miscellaneous maintenance. I'm willing to bet this Tesla will cost less than your car in the long run. Now go back to your mom's basement and tell her I said thanks for the other night😂
Most EV’s don’t need a new battery. It lose charge but doesn’t mean loses all the charge. I save $350 on gas every month and $4k a year c ok loaded to my old ice car which requires $400 in gas every month. What’s even better is I save time. 3-5 minute to fill up gas while it takes me less then 10 second to plug it in.
If you live in warm climate where it doesn't freeze or snow, like here in FL The best thing you can use is Distilled Water for your windshield washer fluid!
Good point. You could add a little dishwasher soap and leave out all the harmful chemicals. I live in Canada where that's not an option. Almost got into an accident one time during the first winter freeze when I forgot I had summer wiper fluid in my car Froze my entire windshield and couldn't see shit lol
Got it, so we're just ignoring the brakes. I could be wrong but I could almost guarantee there's oil in there somewhere. At least some sort of bar oil for the electric motors. Grease on the axles. I got a feeling and there's more to it. Wonder how much it cost to replace your ABS sensors if one of them goes bad.😂
@jeremyjudkins that depends on how good you are at driving, or if you are rich enough/in enough debt for full self driving. Manual breaks will engage if you break hard enough.
Brakes in electric cars last way longer because of regenerative braking. Unless you drive like an absolute maniac (or disable regen for some strange reason), chances are your brakes will last several times longer than in a gas car
@@quaz3214Tap the pedal and the car moves forward. Take your foot off the pedal, your car will slow down to a stop almost immediately. Go test drive a Tesla at a showroom and see for yourself.
The fact Hertz dumped all their Teslas because the maintenance cost was too high contradict your claims. It's a fact EVs wear tires and breaks faster because they weigh more. While you didn't need periodic oil changes you pay more for the big ticket items.
Why buy a new battery when the original battery lasts a car lifetime? Why buy a new battery for an old car when it could be repaired? ua-cam.com/video/0HWnRSYCvNI/v-deo.htmlsi=q8vgIPBPd2pZsO-Q
@fishwhistler7224 Drove mine 307TKM so far, battery still fine. None of my ICE cars lasted longer than 350TKM, so I'm pretty confident my EV will beat that.
Actually, you were required to do service on teslas by tesla until 2020 or so. They didn’t send out a statement concerning a drop of service. They just stopped mentioning services every 30k miles. The service included differential oil changes, a/c dry packs, tip off fluids etc. I remember them charging 700-1000.
No no, the expensive part comes when you go 10 years And you have to replace you battery, if you do. Ppl would rather buy a new Tesla that replace the battery. Is that in the marketing with all the "good" things about a Tesla? Or do you think they mighta left it out on purpose? Guarantee the battery AND replace it if it dies. Then I'll consider it again. But not for cold weather areas. You know what cold weather does to batteries, right?
How far away is Walmart that driving there and back kills over 13% of the battery? And do you not ever just refer to the thing as a car? It’s like how some (weird) people will refer to their phone as an iPhone constantly.

15 minute charge, because you paid an electrician $4000 to install your fancy home charging system. All the purposely-hidden costs to skew the true cost of these things.
Umbrella, no i paid 400 for the install and it's easy enough to do yourself
@@ikingipapa it can cost that much though. Depends on a whole heap of factors and is more of an edge case with your number being more representative of an average number here, if a little on the lower end of things so your point still stands. Figured I'd get in before you get a foolish reply.
Most Tesla owners couldn’t do the install themselves or they would electrocute themselves trying. 400 dollars for an electrician to run a 240v circuit and install the outlet, maybe if it were right next to the breaker panel. You didn’t mention the cost of the charger.
The only reason to buy a Tesla is if you really don’t drive outside the city.

@@ikingipapa the point that the OP was making is still valid. There are hidden costs to owning an electric car and not all of it is dollars and cents. Can’t just be honest with people anymore, always gotta push the narrative. 110v charge can take days, 240v 6-8 hours, super charger 30 minutes. I’ve watched Tesla owners waiting in line for hours at a six bay charging station. Not to mention all the people in the news last winter whose teslas were DOA expensive paper weights. Or the areas where the infrastructure is failing because of electrical demand. Or the strip mining to make the batteries, or the replacement and disposal. Or the hidden costs of increased electricity rates due to demand and the cost of heating or cooling your home. Our electric rates have gotten so out of balance that my new high efficiency heat pumps never reach the economic crossover savings of heating with electricity vs heating with the natural gas backup system, not even close.

The low cost in maintenance, does it make up for the spectacular depreciation?
In most cases, an EV purchase is a mere emotional buy.. Hybrids make sense.
And insane cost of replacement battery? And that it won't charge or run well in freezing temps? Or that most electricity used to charge it is produced by burning coal or other fuels? Or that it would have been more environmentally friendly to repurpose on older car so that its materials don't end up in the landfill or water supply? Or that the cobalt used to make batteries for them are mined by slaves or at minimum indentured servitude in Africa and that to mine the other materials needed we need to blast the earth apart and there are hazardous byproducts that can ruin the environment?

How’s your battery replacement going?
Free and under warranty. Loaner car with free supercharging. Smooth actually.
How about the resale value?
@AddyKnows I've heard horror stories, it's good when it's under warranty, but if it isn't, I heard they go for $18k to replace. I'd think it would be better to have a few batteries and easy to swap out or something, like pull up to a station and swap the battery out kind of thing.
Not talking about warranty replacement. The unavoidable cost after the warranty expires will cancel all the savings in maintenance, and until it's replaced the battery range will be degrading several percent per year.
The only way to avoid that cost is to sell the car, which is why depreciation is so high.
@cottawalla battery degradation just like mpg. No difference. It also depends whos buying. I don't travel far, no more than 3-4 road trips yearly.
Unsure why people think the battery will bust after warranty. Plently of Teslas with original battery with well over 100k.
Let us know when you have to replace your batteries, how many miles/years of usage compared to how much they are to replace.

@@zeropoint35182 minutes vs 2 seconds to plug in, not to mention driving out of the way to go to the gas station, so who is the one saving time? Lmao

@@Crazy_Dashcam_Videos 2 seconds? On a road trip I stopped 0 times for fuel in the same distance that my cousin’s Tesla had to stop 3 times for hours at a time. Who’s the one saving time?
Do you seriously expect an honest answer?
How long does it take to charge the battery? Cuz filling up my gas tank takes 5 mins tops, from empty to full
It all depends on your usage. We use an EV for short journeys (up to 100 miles or so) so charging takes about 30 seconds to plug in and another 30 seconds to unplug, don't care how long it takes because we're in bed.
Because of our numerous low mileage journeys in winter, gasoline would tend to go off and the cat and EGR would quickly foul.
Horses for courses.
Experts say to take the least amount of time charging to only charge to 80%. The last 20% takes much longer. How long it takes depends on if it's a fast charger, and how low they're drained when starting the charging.
@@fredflintstone8048 How long the last 20% takes is very vehicle dependent, our charges at about 5kW for the last 10% but 0-80% on a 100kW charger takes 35 minutes.
If you are doing long distances on motorways, battery capacity isn't even that important, charging rate is. It makes little difference if you have to charge for an hour every 200 miles or half an hour every 100, except that a half hour break every hour and a half is better than an hour every three hours. But if you can charge at 200kW peak rather than 100, your total stop is only half as long.
How's your resale value?
wait are you being sarcastic or just curious
I bought one recently and went new because after the tax credit, used wasn't cheap enough to be worth it.
Resale value is hypothetical if you're not planning to sell. Like my home: market value $2.3-2.5M But hypothetical 'cause I'm not selling!
I drive my cars for 200k miles…then give them to one of my kids to drive into the ground. One son is driving my 2012 GTI with 250k miles. My model 3 is at 85,000 miles so…I have a long way to go. Resale is irrelevant if you make wise financial decisions.

How unexpected; a Nazi building a human incinerator
The materials that are used to make the batteries burn very hot, and the worst thing you can do with those fires is put water on them. Fire fighters don't try and stop the fires in the cars, rather they cool as much as they can around the cars to try and prevent spreading the fire. If your EV even gives a hint that it might be catching on fire, get out of it and as far from it as you can. Don't park it in a garage.

My battery is at a roughly 75 kWh capacity. At a roughly 95% charging efficiency, it would take approximately 79.2 kWh to charge it from 0% to 100%.
My energy rate is $0.12904/kWh. So, it would cost $10.22 to get from 0% to 100%. No one drives an electric car like this, so to add just 15% of charge, it would cost $0.706494 per day.

And I don't even own a Tesla. Nor do I want to. But EVs are just better suited to most car uses, if you have your own space where you park and charge it. If you don't, they s*ck, agreed. For very long distance drive, let's say more than 500 miles in one go, are ice cars still the better option. Anything else the EV is just better. Less noise, less smell, better performance, easier to drive, easier to maintain, less stuff that can break, easier to create your own "fuel".

Just a few questions. So how does this run in negative temperatures? Does the battery drain faster when it’s cold? How does it handle in the snow? What’s the cost for a supercharger at home? Would you recommend it for 1 hour commute ?
And do you need to keep the heater off to extend the battery charge in the cold...on your freezing daily trip to work?.
Cold weather is the enemy of any battery. It reduces the capacity. On top of that the batteries need to be kept above a certain temperature and have liquid passages around the batteries for heating them as well as cooling them when fast charging.
The batteries must also run the heater and the pumps to circulate the liquid on top of the fact that their capacity is reduced.
It uses washer fluid?
Would've thought a blast of unicorn farts would do the trick.

I don’t know and can’t speak for others but the biggest reason I got my Tesla is because I’ve always been a servant to the planet.
I also charge exclusively with solar power so I produce no carbon.

Charging to 80% is fine, but pushing it by a few % to 80% is bad. I keep mine between 40-60% for my daily drives.
Tell us about tires and insurance. And your milage when temperatures are in the low teens, and charge availability in towns with less than a population of 50,000 or a absolute certain link of chargers from coast to coast with super chargers.
Tires? No more wear than my ICE car. But then I drive carefully.
Insurance? A bit more, but that's mostly because of more horsepower.
Charging? 99.9 % of charging at home or work. There's a Tesla charger 5 minutes from home, despite under 10 000 living in the area. There are numerous other charging points that also can be used.
Coast to coast? Seriously no problem using only Tesla-charging, but there are also here numerous charging places.
Winter? Loses about 15-20% range. A longer trip takes a bit more planning, but not much. After 4-5 hours is always time to stretch and going for a bite.
But then I don't live in a country which is about 10-15 years behind, but in Norway 😂

No, there is not necessary more wear on the Tesla. My Tesla is soon two years old and wear is not an issue compared to other ICE cars I have owned and still owe. But I'm a careful driver and use a slower acceleration mode most of the time.
Yes, I'm boring :)
Your friend most likely likes to use the power which is within these vehicles ;)
If your friend also has a performance model AND uses sport mode, then he most definitely will have more wear. If he has the performance model he also don't have the ability to rotate the tires, like I have with my Tesla and also do. Then he will have an uneven tire wear like you are describing.
So in short, your friend has a 500 horsepowered sports car and uses it as such. So no surprise the tires shows wear. But I guess I loves it :)
The weight isn't that much of a deal, just think about heavier ICE trucks which don't have this issue.

In reality there isn’t really an economic difference between Gas/hybrid cars and Electric cars anymore.
What you save on Gas and Maintenance is cancelled out with higher insurance premiums, higher road tax/registration renewals, unchanged cost to refuel as its just reframed as an electricity bill, and more often changed tires.
In face value you think you’re saving money because you don’t see the expenses up front. When I check year over year on my annual expense report, its surprisingly unchanged.
The only noticeable difference is that I spend more time at gas stations to charge my car during road trips. Thats based on my idle timer.
In the end, you shouldn’t be buying an EV for economical reasons. Instead you should be buying it for lifestyle and beliefs. There is negligible economical improvements between my Model Y and my Camry
Absolutely correct, even here in Norway. I bought EV because of cheaper tolls in Oslo, otherwise it wouldnt have made sense. I pay higher insurance, and the services are just as expensive
Where do you have to pay higher registration and taxes for an electrical vehicle?
hmm not sure what's happening for you . I'm picking up my tesla next week ,and the insurance quote for a 2020 was $218 for full coverage in california which is around the price I was paying on a gas car . i currently drive a bmw ev ,and my registration for 2024 was only $258, and my electric bill only went up 20-30 a month and another $11 on public fast chargers for August ,but the tires are pricey but it's not like i'm changing tires 3 times a year and my bmw have staggered tires so I can't rotate them ,and I'm saving 3K a year since I don't need gas and more savings due to no repairs meanwhile my wife ford fusion paid over 2,000 in gas in 2023 , had the battery replaced a few months ago which was 245 , another 330 on repair back in Jan. because the car wouldn't change gears , $105 oil change on July 22nd with another one later this year, ,and purchased a set of tires which was around 400-600 so with no more repairs she'll be arond 3,525-3,700 for the year while I'll be around 1,280 for a set of tires and electricity .
Did you take the first insurance quote you got. Look for a broker who will shop it around for you.
My M3 insurance was about $30 more per month than my Genesis G70. I have an excellent electricity plan. I am not trying to live a lifestyle or make a statement. Teslas are the best cars, period.

I heard. It's the brakes. That one foot driving leads to rust on the brakes, which eventually led to failed inspections.
Funny that the one thing that's failing is outdated technology that fails due to non-use and one of the few things they have in common with ICE vehicles.
I live in California and our only mandatory vehicle inspection is for smog. Teslas are exempt from this inspection as they have zero emissions so their failure rate here is zero.

It only takes me 15 minutes to charge 150 miles at any supercharger and if I charge it at home, it charges completely overnight in just a few hours even if it's down to 20%. Costs me about $12.

How much does it cost to electric power charge every time?Other costs?
Check the manual. Servicing your brakes is a must after a year, that goes double if you're in an area that gets road salt. Take off the wheels, take the pads out and clean and lube all relevant parts. My Model 3 Performance keeps having issues with corrosion on the discs. I switched to different pads, that solved the issue for me.
Also make sure to do an alignment check every 20k miles or so and have someone look for the upper control arms, those tend to be absolutely shot by around 30-40k miles, which also throws out your alignment. I'll get the first round of replacement under warranty, after that I will put in aftermarket Nylon bushings and a KW Suspension.
Finally make sure to take out your air filters and remove debris behind them, if leaves start to accumulate moisture gets trapped and you will have issues.
That being said: With the new Model 3 Highland Ludicrous on the Horizon, I might get an upgrade somewhat soon 🎉
Yeah, Sandy Munro said the highland is the best made car on the planet: super quiet and it rides great.
I don't. Think brake pads are a problem on some teslas as they have regenative charging
@@getalife944 tge regenerative breaking IS the problem. They don't get used, therefore they don't dry (which leads to corrosion), they don't take off enough corrosion on the disc and that leads to them having poor Performance.

Only 2018 models have trouble with control arms 2019 and later will last a long time.

The problem with this argument is that it's actually pretty rare for EVs to need the battery replaced before the car is end-of-life. There are still thousands of 6-12+ year-old EVs with 150-250k+ miles on the road or on the used market today with about 80% of their original battery capacity. Plus, I believe it is federally mandated (in the US) for auto makers to provide EV batteries with a minimum 8 year 100k mile warranty on new EVs. -- And before you dismiss me as a Tesla stan, I actually don't even like Tesla (for numerous reasons), I just do my research. In fact, Tesla has a tendency to trick their customers into buying a $15k new battery because there was a 'fault in the battery not covered by the warranty' when actually it was a simple failure of a sensor or something inside the battery pack. It's like a $50 part that could be fixed by removing and opening the battery, replacing the part, and putting it all back together. Take it to an EV repair shop like Electrified Garage (Rich Rebuilds on YT is the co-owner of that shop) and you could have it fixed for under $1k. So no, EV batteries rarely need replaced. Tesla just likes ripping people off.
