Sold mine last week and happy about it 1) yes battery drains extremely faster in cold 2) when car is parked it loses batter. Yup 3) i paid a lot for charging as i didnt havr charger at home 4) cheap fabric/plastic in trunk
I am a business owner and at the end of the day, if I screw something up I take care of my customer. That is the bottom line. Tesla however does not take care of their customers and therefore I will never own a Tesla
I downgraded to a Toyota gr86 2019 because I missed having a basic gas car. Not going to lie I miss the model 3 but dam do I love waking up to a full tank and not having my week revolve around charge stations and being able to travel freely.
I had the Model S. From the first month to the last 12 months of owning it, it had problems every month. I got sick of it bought a Corolla. Never been happier.

My co-worker bought a brand new all wheel drive Tesla in 2021. Up here in North Dakota he said during the winter going down interstate it only gets half the range out of the battery that he does during the summer. He also said it is $4000 for a new windshield for it.
I’m about 1,000km directly above you in northern Canada 🇨🇦 there’s a reason no one has an EV up here.. average temp past few winters has been minus -49c with tons of snow.. my Hummer’s and Jeep’s are not garaged and they are reliable .. a Tesla needs to be garaged in the extreme cold or extreme heat.. EV owners still don’t realize there’s no such thing as a Zero emission EV as Musk and others like to claim...follow the plug 🔌 from your EV .. unless your in Cali or other sunny states and you see the solar panels hooked up to your charger your using electricity made from Coal or oil or diesel power plants even during rain cloud or night your charger will be using Coal or Oil or Diesel fuel to charge your EV.. also check where your EV Lithium battery packs are getting their Cobalt from
@@torontocpl I think Prius's are the way to go right now. I just test drove my buddies 2014 prius thay he bought brand new. Contrary to what the stigma was, that car was just about as fast as my 3.8L GM and it was like an R/C racecar around town. He also said that car does good in 4" snow if studded tires. I liked the car, other than the hatchback is too small. He said it gets 39-45 mpg during the winter, since the battery is older now.
I agree. I had an older Jeep grand cherokee, it never failed, it was so reliable and comfortable to drive. Unfortunately in Finland the annual car taxes on bigger cars such as Jeeps are insanely high, and gas prices right now are around 2,2€/litre, so I had to switch to a newer smaller car that is crap compared to that old Jeep😄
This reinforces my opinion that what I REALLY want is the Tesla drive system and batteries in another, regular car. Too many stories like this about substandard quality, iffy roadside assistance, and bad dealership experiences. In hod rodding the latest thing is doing Tesla EV conversions to other cars. Yeah, due to less than great aerodynamics you won't get the range of an actual Tesla, but you won't have to wait three months for suspension control arms and electric door handles either.
You nailed it. If Toyota made Toyota cars with Tesla drive trains, you’d have pretty much the best of both worlds. Toyota build quality with Tesla’s high tech electrics avid electronics. Sure cold weather driving can be detrimental to range, but as long as you know what to expect, you can prepare for it. Anyways, at the present time, for me the best real time, real world option is a Toyota made plug in hybrid. If only they made the Prius Prime with a 50 mile battery, that would seal the deal.
@@jetvalmonte6574 So far, the Ford Mach E seems to be easy to use and reliable, which is what everyone really wants. It'll be interesting to see how well the Toyota/Subaru joint venture SUV EVs work out. Not stunning on range, but from a trusted (Toyota) manufacturer. My brother's 3(?) year old Hyundai Ioniq has been problem free and has regular interior controls. He likes it a lot, and his cost of operation is really low.
@@snowrocket Hyundai has come a long way. A friend has an ICE SUV with around 250,000 km and its been reliable and still running well. I am confident Hyundau EVs will be just as durable and reliable. But I am an old dog. Right or wrong, I wont buy anything not made by Toyota.
@@jetvalmonte6574 In the USA, it would be hard to argue against the overall reliability and durability of Toyota and Honda products. Consumer Reports and most mechanics agree that they are the best vehicles for long term use.
For the record, many ICE cars, including my 2019 Kia Soul, don't come with spare tires either. That is the way manufacturers are going to cut price and save weight.
Yes is about the price you pay her. if you buy a cheap care you do not expect so many options. It is not a big deal, other problems with tesla are BIG deals, like safety, poor design, and battery. Almost every electric car "enthusiast" is in denial, just for the sake of virtue signaling. We need better cars but we need more people, engineers, etc who are realistic and honest. If all this electric car is just propaganda and empty virtue signaling, then you are participating in a huge and dangerous story for everybody. And yes, tesla are really boring and ugly.
My wife bought a 3 about 5 years ago. Its been one of the best cars she has ever had. We have had tesla remote service come right to our house to do yearly inspection for NY state.
I used to be a Tesla fanboy when I was 12 and they have gotten so popular since then. I'm currently 18 years old and I clearly am not that person anymore since I became a car enthusiast, and Ive heard a lot of complaints from many people who owned a Tesla.
@@dreadone6894 not as long as a gas powered vehicle that's for sure. I don't understand idiots. What if an absolute emergency happens and you gotta go over 1000 miles? Family member is dying. You just gonna be okay stopping to charge every 500 miles for 30 mins to an hour VS pumping gas for roughly 3 minutes? Don't even get started on the fact they are more harmful to make them gasoline powered if you research into lithium mine's and the carbon it puts off making one single battery. ONE of them batteries is about 10 gasoline engines or more and most electric cars have multiple battery packs. So one single Tesla is more pollution then producing over 100 gasoline engines damn near. People just don't care to do research. They suffer a lot more in the cold then your MPGs do as well.
Well... I walked away from this with the impression that the oil and ice car industry financed the production and distribution of this video, just liked they killed the EV car developed by GM...
If you think about it. An hour and a half is more than 5 minutes. I never would have thought that a longer time is actually longer! Thanks for pointing that out!
@nehem but the constant changing of batteries will wear out whatever mechanism holds the 2 ton battery. It might be cool for races but real world applications will be too expensive and dangerous.
I was tuned off when my friend bought one and told me it's $400 to "unlock" the heated rear seats lol. It appears to me that there is no good reason to own a Tesla but for image.
@@adrianlee2357 My loaded cx5 cost 45k all in this year and his Tesla is over 65k. The cx5 is a larger car with more features and is a crossover/SUV while the Tesla is a sedan. If my cx5 is 45k then the model 3 is more like a 38k car if it was a gas engine, that he will end up paying 65k for. You can buy alot of gas for 27k. And he bought the base model 3, with all the features he would be well north of 80k, maybe as high as 90k in Canada. These are trendy/cool cars but from an economic standpoint they make sense for very few. Not to mention reliability/build quality is poor.

Not only does it cause pollution to produce the battery but to produce the electricity we are still using mostly fossil fuel still. Then what happens when the battery is not holding a charge properly? The range is not the same and it takes more time to change? New car time.

You forgot to talk about how the batteries are epoxyed together making them a nightmare to recycle and likly not recycled at all. Bit that statement might be wrong and more research meeds to be done what they do with failed battery packs.
Newer cars usually don't come with spare tires to make the car a little bit lighter. Some do come with run-flat tires, or a fix-a-flat repair kit. However I do like having a spare tire in my car and having spare tire plug kits for emergencies.

@@predatorishi I work for an OS car manufacturer. While I agree with you; get used to it. All our tires are run flat. It’s the way they are going world wide.
If everyone switched to teslas tomorrow we wouldn't have enough electricity on the power grid to charge all those vehicles. In order to upgrade the power grid to handle all these new cars we will need to spend billions or even trillions building new power plants and setting up new power lines
I remember when Tesla showed up on Modern Marvels, It was before Musk bought it. I believe at the time they focused on making High End Electric Sports Cars and near everything was made of carbon fiber.
It takes 65,000 miles of driving a Tesla to hit the break even point on greenhouse gases.. if you're charging from the grid (and that's comparing it to a Prius, if you're driving a truck it's half that, 29 mpg car vs California grid it's 12,0000 to break even) If you're charging from solar that you have on your roof then it's practically zero. Not to mention the processes are getting more and more efficient as they scale up meaning it's getting cleaner.
You know there are people who have proven this not to be true. In fact, there have been plenty of analysis that demonstrate that Tesla is more eco friendly than ICEs even with the battery process.
@Machina Right!! You are wrong! Besides, most Tesla owners have Teslas because they are fast, fun, technologically advanced, have free updates over the air, great support and the eco thing is last in their minds, even though they are.

MKBHD described the Plaid as world class fit and Finnish, and his daily driver between the plaid and the raven was a 160k Porsche Tycan Turbo S. World Class.

So if your car can't take the latest update you need to buy a whole new car? Doubt that will happen. They will just upgrade the control unit to a more powerful one. Just because ecu goes down on a gas powered car you don't just buy a new car, why would that be any different to a electric car or tesla.
Exactly. This man is acting like the iphone lovers that feel the need to buy a new phone every year. If the system is outdated, you can still live with it. Theres people that still drive cars fron the 70 with no hardware/software changes tgat are doing fine. Hes just so negative about anything in this video
Thank goodness that is true. The ECU on my mother's car died when mum couldn't afford a whole new car. She would have been screwed if the ECU wasn't independently replaceable.
Yup I hear that pretty often on these type of videos too that doesn’t know their head from a hole in the ground. I’ve heard of taxis that are Tesla’s getting 500,000 miles on them with hardly any issues. Lowest maintenance vehicle you’ll ever own.
@@kimmelsadventures just about had a stroke attempting to read your comment. I'm assuming you're making a claim supporting Teslas?? Either way I don't really care, my only statement was regarding the scientific definitions between an engine and a motor. That has nothing to do with Tesla or the company (which I'm a fan of by the way), but instead a remark on the people who edited and posted the video. That's something that should have been caught in the editing process
I'd love to own a tesla, however I'm thinking how will it function when its 10 years old or even 20 years old. This isn't an issue with just tesla but all cars with these kinda features. I'm thinking what will happen if one of these features fail and im either stranded in the middle of nowhere and its raining or snowing. Or late for work because something malfunctions.
Tesla is a young company and they have made some serviceability errors in design, however the Model S has been in production since 2012 and there are manny with half a million miles or more and still going strong. Battery degradation is the biggest long term worry but that’s pretty predictable so choose the battery size according to what you need after 30% capacity loss.
@@taylorgriesbach3788 Srry for the late response, I haven’t read that they offer lifetime warranty, but just know the maintenance on an electrical vehicle is gonna be more expensive than that of a regular car as you know there’s not a lot of automotive shops that do that because they are required to be fixed by that manufacture such as telsa and all other ev manufactures
All batteries, in all devices become weaker and weaker over time. Sure, the battery has a lifetime warranty, but it won't be near as good as when it was new.
My Tesla is either in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego or Phoenix. It’s never seen snow ❄️ or ice. I don’t take any else. It stays freeways and city streets. Never had a problem. I always keep it charged between 20- 80%.

OK, the problem number 1: After hearing that, i started to think... - The pollution from making 1 battery for 1 tesla equals to 8 years of driving a fuel-running car, so why just not do that with 8 years running a tesla rather than 8 years of driving and making fuel-running cars ???
My ex got the model Y last year and save for her marriage to her current husband it maybe the biggest mistake she has ever made. So many problems, I don't have the time nor do I care enough to go into them and it doesn't even have AWD or Apple CarPlay. I'll stick to my Mazda CX-5 AWD.
One negative thing about the tesla is the door handles are really bad in emergencies situations since its harder for bystanders to open your door handles to help you, forcing them to have to use the windows instead wasting crucial time.
@@wardfooty3802 True the difference is that the Lithium is in a self-contained system and unlike gas cars, you aren't burning lithium for fuel. While there is lithium in the batteries, it's not exposed to air unless the cell is punctured or damaged. The same thing can be said for cell phones that use lithium batteries.
I understand that the extra mining of battery materials uses alot more energy in these cars and then the recycling of them at the end of the cars life. Surely they are more environmentally friendly regardless, particularly when used in higher mileage applications, but it's probably not as big an advantage as they want u to believe.
As far as I am aware, Tesla cars are sourced in China, or at least some of them and as a country displaying so much aggression to various parts of the world, including minorities within their own borders, I won't give them a penny if I can avoid it.

Yes, a Tesla is a good car from a technical standpoint. However, there are three things to consider. Lithium is not recyclable (no battery is really just that alkaline and manganese are less toxic), and can cause serious environmental damage. Comparable to storage in the mountains or some secure location as would with nuclear waste. People rely too much on the automatic GPS-oriented and sensor tracking as to replace driving, so they fall asleep at the wheel then automatically wake-up at their destination. Safe and sound or tragedy awaits? Battle of electric versus gas, there must be a much better solution aside from charging and fuel prices aside from the cost of the car. Fuel should be made from sewage (human and animal waste) that is much cleaner for the environment and natural. Fossil fuels and batteries with toxic waste not the way to go. Batteries drain quickly in the cold, and cold batteries take much longer to recharge, even shortens the lifespan. Batteries very expensive to replace up front, and make the vehicle much heavier. If batteries the future, then at least make the fuel cells from natural sources that are renewable. Lithium, nickel cadmium, and such are not and will run out much faster than fossil fuels will.
Neighbors sister has model S, bought new when they first came out. Lives in California and only gets half the range on a full charge than it did when new.
No it doesn’t. It loses like 5 miles on its total range per year if that. They would’ve had to drive it to the ground for the last like 15 years for that to be true.
The Tesla warranty for the Battery and Drive Unit of their vehicles are covered for a period of 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. with a minimum 70% retention of battery capacity during the warranty period. Tesla would have then replaced the battery for free for her, once the battery went below 70% capacity.
The point of EVs is moving the source of pollution from the tailpipes to the power plant where it is easier to control emissions. And the "polluting factory" argument is fairly moot, as ICE factories also pollute when making cars.
Lexus is the best thing Toyota makes compared to this man he's working on too many projects at the same time SpaceX boring tunnels setting up his own satellite system spreading himself too thin.. Toyota's quality is the best it gets !!!
Zero issues is why the only EV I will buy will have a Toyota or Lexus badge. Seriously, they can have little problems but not enough to turn me off the brand. Nothing man made is perfect.
Hard to take this video seriously when he mentions the Tesla has an ‘engine’, mentioning the braking system, and the lack of details regarding the actual time it takes to charge the car. -_-
An hour and a half is what you have to wait for a 50 kW charger from everyone else Tesla has a supercharger network that charges your car 180 miles and 15 minutes. And 90% of the time people charge their car when they sleep and can wake up with any percentage that they want.
As transportation becomes more and more electrified, what does that mean for transportation industries like couriers and freight trucks? A lot of truckers drive over 600 miles a day, and time is a critical factor. Transportation services lose a lot of money for every minute they're not on the road, so bigger trucks need bigger batters, and bigger batteries are going to take more time to get their full range back, regardless of the wattage a charger produces. Battery powered vehicles aren't a good solution for everyone, and all batteries aren't good for the environment, they can't be recycled infinitely like glass, aluminum, and hydrogen. If we expend all the lithium and cobalt on earth, we won't have anymore for other, reusable applications.
Dan the-Man I’m sure a trucking company wouldn’t mind having their drivers wait for 20 minutes to charge rather than pay $300+ to drive the same distance.
@@edwardnigma9037 Humans went from the first flying plane ever to landing on the moon in just 60 years. I think we can manage getting trucks to not run on diesel
If the hardware needs upgrading they'll upgrade the hardware, no need for a new car. I am surprised you left out the more serious problems. Like the back doors refusing to open and being a death trap since they don't have manual release. I'm critical of Tesla but this video seems to be over critical. Like in charging times. You fail to mention superchargers. I highly suspect the sponsor of this video is another car company.
All car factories have emissions, they all make batteries, and they continue to eat up gasoline on the road. That negative seems thrown in for no reason. I will say that some EV charging stations are fueled by diesel and therefore not cutting emissions by much.
GIVE ME A BREAK… The self driving capabilities are much more sophisticated than you think, Also, The person buying the Tesla obviously has money so, buying an extra wheel should not be a problem to them.
yes, ego and lies, propaganda and toys, but not eco friendly; not saving anybody, just an expensive big toy to impress little people. Self driving? why not let a car live for you, self living car, how about this idea? self sexing capabilities? self thinking abilities, let us become vegetables, it is so comfortable to trust robots. Let' go even further, forget all our abilities, and let robots do everything.
I would love a Tesla however I’m not a fan boy but most of these are invalid. Like yes no spare tire my fusion doesn’t have one. You can turn off re gen braking(I think) now them performing in the snow I’m 50/50 with yea I get the battery will drain faster and the door handle would make it harder. But them performing in the snow is good I saw vidoes talking about how it won’t just accelerate if it doesn’t catches traction.
Saw a video of a guy with stock tires comparing a Tesla to a gas car in the snow on a steep hill. This was a rear wheel drive Tesla and it did better than a front wheel drive Golf on steep snowy hill climb test.
Yea… I’ll also replace my oil every 6 months, pay for brake pads twice as often, spends hundreds on gasoline, pay for service for the vehicle if anything’s wrong
Im only interested for efficiency. I drive locally and only 6 miles to work every 6 days. Is a tesla model 3 worth vs dealing with gas and oil changes? I drive a 2015 honda accord exl. Gas fluctuates here in socal between 3.50 to highest of 4.30.

Excellent video. Brought up some factoids that I wasn't even aware of. If I could learn something from a video then it served my purpose. I will do my own research because I believe no one now days.
The best way is to own one to learn. After that, you will never ever touch it with a 10 foot pole. It's your own hard earned dosh, do what you wish. Wisdom is when you have it for 10 years, the only place is to the rubbish tip or resell for less than the new battery price you just put in.

I still like the car but will have to be more careful when using FSD. Tesla did not offer to pay for the damage to my car.
You were not paying attention and Tesla should pay for your mistake? They clearly state you need to maintain 100% attention while using it every time you engage it, as well as in the manual and the autopilot section of the settings were you enable it for the first time.

Most electricity is generated with steam turbines using fossil fuels, nuclear. Pollution to make the electricity, pollution to produce the battery. The list goes on and on. Lots of plastics. What to do with the battery when it's stops holding the charge properly ? What a mess.

If you really drove 76 mph on ice covered roads, it only proves you're an unsafe driver. You not only put yourself at risk, but other road users as well.
It would be interesting to know who financed this hit piece. Oh. By the way, “brake “ is the correct English word for the mechanical function mentioned.
The new Tesla models are garbage, there is NO reason as to why the wipers should be LOCKED on auto when on cruise control (maybe auto pilot) but not cruise control. The amount of time the wipers goes on when it's a bright sunny day because of this is absurd. They can only be turned off when not on cruise control or auto pilot. Given the amount of people that have complained about this, you'd think Tesla would release a new software update addressing this by now.
You do not need to carefully study where charging stations are Tesla will route you there automatically there is one every 75 miles on average. 25,000 stalls globally.
Pro super chargers charge in under 15 mins, Tesla's have a hugeeee warranty so if you "break down" your pretty much covered....they perform amazing in snow, and the self driving isn't fully self driving it tells you to pay attention.
Sure. Electric vehicles are more of a burden than a blessing. I'll stick with my internal combustion engine while you charge up your Tesla. My best advice for you is to man up, grow some balls and buy a V-8. This electric shit will not last. It's been nothing but a scam from the beginning.
I watched some other videos on your channel out of morbid curiosity. How is it that you were so insanely wrong on so much in this video but your other ones aren't nearly as wrong? There are some mistakes in those as well, but it's night and day compared to this one. Dual personalities? Did you do this video and then have an epiphany that EVs aren't worse than gas cars and forget to remove this one? Did you lose funding from Mobil / Shell / and truck nuts makers?

Electric cars are a fad. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are the future. Same refueling time as gasoline rides and no huge, heavy, flammable and toxic 400V battery packs that are a nightmare to recycle.
Ok I’m 3:45 minutes in and I have a few problems with this. As the title suggests this is about “10 problems of owning a Tesla” and for the first thing he said that they are not eco friendly witch is not a problem when I own a Tesla. And for the fourth one he said that they have regenerative braking witch is a “problem”for new unexperienced drivers , but the fact is this can be turned off in car settings. For number 5 it does not take an hour and a half to fully charge your Tesla on a supercharger for the base model y it only takes 45 minutes and for number 2 this guy needs to watch more wham Bham Tesla cam because while auto pilot does sometimes get you into accidents it a lot of the time saves people.
There is actually no good reason for anyone to own a Tesla unless money is no object and they really really care about the environment or the image factor. From a practical standpoint, you can get much better vehicles for the cost of a Tesla

Lots of errors in this video At 1:30 he said "a bike might suite you better and the world too", then shows a motorcycle. A motorcycle has essentially NO emissions control, and put out about 10x more than an SUV when it comes to nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. At 1:45 he says Tesla does not have the history to guess the market value of used cars. If you search now, 2-3 year old Model 3's are selling about 85-90% the value of new. At 2:10 he says you cannot recycle the cars. No...you cannot recycle the batteries, but the cars will still work with a new battery, so essentially, the car is recyclable. At 3:07...it is supposed to be spelled BRAKE not BREAK. Also, regenerative braking will give more life to the pads/rotors. At 4:15, heat pumps are standard in 2022, much less of a problem in the cold. At 4:20, Teslas are specifically not any more difficult than any other vehicle in snow, depends how you drive. If you have a turbo Subaru and punch it, it will lose traction too. 5:00...This is not specific to Tesla. ALL electric vehicles take longer to fill than gas. 7:00, Autopilot does not mean "self-driving", it is an assist. An airplane autopilot doesn't mean the human pilot can just go to sleep. They have to also "man their station".
Every time I've been driving behind a tesla, it's jerking all on the road. I didnt know if it was the driver but after witnessing multiple teslas do the same thing I figure it was the car. Just cus its "fancy" and the "hot new thing" dont mean its worth it
That first point was so dumb because I bet making the ICE car in the factory does just as much harm to the environment. At least when u get the finished product between the two, at least the Tesla no longer requires gas.
I not have a single of these problems, I drive a 17 Year old Volvo V70 full options diesel, runs always, cold or hot, and 13 km on a liter, oh and I purchased the car 9 years ago for 2300 euro's
I still like a good late 80s or early 90s 4 cylinder car, like an E30, over one of these Teslas. I'll admit, it's a really cool and innovative approach to the car industry and driving, but think about it: all of that expensive, high-tech gadgetry...in a car? A car: something that can easily get jacked, in an accident, or damaged by mother nature in? All for that much more money up front? Nah, I don't think so. I'll pass for the sake of nostalgia, practicality, and financial costs.
There is no way tesla is going to run out of charge. Tesla pre plans the trip including super charger stops. And there are like 2000 super chargers only in USA. And it does not take 1 and half hour to charge a tesla it takes only 30to 40 mins. This guy some how hates tesla which is the best Car company in the world and has a couple of world records.
Sold mine last week and happy about it
1) yes battery drains extremely faster in cold
2) when car is parked it loses batter. Yup
3) i paid a lot for charging as i didnt havr charger at home
4) cheap fabric/plastic in trunk

This reinforces my opinion that what I REALLY want is the Tesla drive system and batteries in another, regular car. Too many stories like this about substandard quality, iffy roadside assistance, and bad dealership experiences. In hod rodding the latest thing is doing Tesla EV conversions to other cars. Yeah, due to less than great aerodynamics you won't get the range of an actual Tesla, but you won't have to wait three months for suspension control arms and electric door handles either.
You nailed it. If Toyota made Toyota cars with Tesla drive trains, you’d have pretty much the best of both worlds. Toyota build quality with Tesla’s high tech electrics avid electronics. Sure cold weather driving can be detrimental to range, but as long as you know what to expect, you can prepare for it. Anyways, at the present time, for me the best real time, real world option is a Toyota made plug in hybrid. If only they made the Prius Prime with a 50 mile battery, that would seal the deal.

Yes wasn't is like Fisker or something?
It takes 65,000 miles of driving a Tesla to hit the break even point on greenhouse gases.. if you're charging from the grid (and that's comparing it to a Prius, if you're driving a truck it's half that, 29 mpg car vs California grid it's 12,0000 to break even)

Lithium when exposed to air its bad, and tesla uses 500x more times than a regular gas car
@@wardfooty3802 True the difference is that the Lithium is in a self-contained system and unlike gas cars, you aren't burning lithium for fuel. While there is lithium in the batteries, it's not exposed to air unless the cell is punctured or damaged. The same thing can be said for cell phones that use lithium batteries.
I understand that the extra mining of battery materials uses alot more energy in these cars and then the recycling of them at the end of the cars life. Surely they are more environmentally friendly regardless, particularly when used in higher mileage applications, but it's probably not as big an advantage as they want u to believe.
As far as I am aware, Tesla cars are sourced in China, or at least some of them and as a country displaying so much aggression to various parts of the world, including minorities within their own borders, I won't give them a penny if I can avoid it.

Yes, a Tesla is a good car from a technical standpoint. However, there are three things to consider. Lithium is not recyclable (no battery is really just that alkaline and manganese are less toxic), and can cause serious environmental damage. Comparable to storage in the mountains or some secure location as would with nuclear waste. People rely too much on the automatic GPS-oriented and sensor tracking as to replace driving, so they fall asleep at the wheel then automatically wake-up at their destination. Safe and sound or tragedy awaits? Battle of electric versus gas, there must be a much better solution aside from charging and fuel prices aside from the cost of the car. Fuel should be made from sewage (human and animal waste) that is much cleaner for the environment and natural. Fossil fuels and batteries with toxic waste not the way to go. Batteries drain quickly in the cold, and cold batteries take much longer to recharge, even shortens the lifespan. Batteries very expensive to replace up front, and make the vehicle much heavier. If batteries the future, then at least make the fuel cells from natural sources that are renewable. Lithium, nickel cadmium, and such are not and will run out much faster than fossil fuels will.
Neighbors sister has model S, bought new when they first came out. Lives in California and only gets half the range on a full charge than it did when new.
No it doesn’t. It loses like 5 miles on its total range per year if that. They would’ve had to drive it to the ground for the last like 15 years for that to be true.
@@mickeywoodward4812 have you seen how people drive in CA. I didn't believe it either until he showed me the full charge.
The Tesla warranty for the Battery and Drive Unit of their vehicles are covered for a period of 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. with a minimum 70% retention of battery capacity during the warranty period. Tesla would have then replaced the battery for free for her, once the battery went below 70% capacity.
The point of EVs is moving the source of pollution from the tailpipes to the power plant where it is easier to control emissions. And the "polluting factory" argument is fairly moot, as ICE factories also pollute when making cars.
Bro the digging for ion batteries is 100x worse than tail pipes

Hard to take this video seriously when he mentions the Tesla has an ‘engine’, mentioning the braking system, and the lack of details regarding the actual time it takes to charge the car. -_-
An hour and a half is what you have to wait for a 50 kW charger from everyone else Tesla has a supercharger network that charges your car 180 miles and 15 minutes.
And 90% of the time people charge their car when they sleep and can wake up with any percentage that they want.
As transportation becomes more and more electrified, what does that mean for transportation industries like couriers and freight trucks? A lot of truckers drive over 600 miles a day, and time is a critical factor. Transportation services lose a lot of money for every minute they're not on the road, so bigger trucks need bigger batters, and bigger batteries are going to take more time to get their full range back, regardless of the wattage a charger produces. Battery powered vehicles aren't a good solution for everyone, and all batteries aren't good for the environment, they can't be recycled infinitely like glass, aluminum, and hydrogen. If we expend all the lithium and cobalt on earth, we won't have anymore for other, reusable applications.

If the hardware needs upgrading they'll upgrade the hardware, no need for a new car. I am surprised you left out the more serious problems. Like the back doors refusing to open and being a death trap since they don't have manual release.
I'm critical of Tesla but this video seems to be over critical. Like in charging times. You fail to mention superchargers. I highly suspect the sponsor of this video is another car company.
I have a Mustang in my garage that didn't come with a spare tire either. Just staying.
I have no plans in the near future of buying a tesla to much technology 😭😭😭
I'm interested in learning more about the pollution by the factories. Do you have a source I can read up on?
All car factories have emissions, they all make batteries, and they continue to eat up gasoline on the road. That negative seems thrown in for no reason. I will say that some EV charging stations are fueled by diesel and therefore not cutting emissions by much.
@@InsaneAng No! it is about the AMOUNT dear angie, and is about propaganda, about "we are eco friendly" lie!
GIVE ME A BREAK… The self driving capabilities are much more sophisticated than you think, Also, The person buying the Tesla obviously has money so, buying an extra wheel should not be a problem to them.
yes, ego and lies, propaganda and toys, but not eco friendly; not saving anybody, just an expensive big toy to impress little people. Self driving? why not let a car live for you, self living car, how about this idea? self sexing capabilities? self thinking abilities, let us become vegetables, it is so comfortable to trust robots. Let' go even further, forget all our abilities, and let robots do everything.
I would love a Tesla however I’m not a fan boy but most of these are invalid. Like yes no spare tire my fusion doesn’t have one. You can turn off re gen braking(I think) now them performing in the snow I’m 50/50 with yea I get the battery will drain faster and the door handle would make it harder. But them performing in the snow is good I saw vidoes talking about how it won’t just accelerate if it doesn’t catches traction.
Saw a video of a guy with stock tires comparing a Tesla to a gas car in the snow on a steep hill. This was a rear wheel drive Tesla and it did better than a front wheel drive Golf on steep snowy hill climb test.
This must be one of those people that work for the oil industry
I find it highly amusing when a video exposes uncomfortable facts and it ends up with more dislikes than likes lol
But-but- but Elon Musk is funny online and gas cars are so baad for the environment and tesla is faster....... 😭😭😭
No thanks, ill stick with a car that lasts more then 10 years.
Tesla hasn’t even been making cars for 10 years..just say you can’t afford it and move on lol
Yea… I’ll also replace my oil every 6 months, pay for brake pads twice as often, spends hundreds on gasoline, pay for service for the vehicle if anything’s wrong
Im only interested for efficiency. I drive locally and only 6 miles to work every 6 days. Is a tesla model 3 worth vs dealing with gas and oil changes? I drive a 2015 honda accord exl. Gas fluctuates here in socal between 3.50 to highest of 4.30.
Honda is the only car you will need.
My first new Honda was back in 1987.
300k no problems.
Got it because I loved there motorcycles that I owned. Great value for the money!!
Stick with your Honda ironic enough the maintenance in a Tesla is far more expensive then your regular car
You sound like me bro I drive 4 miles to work in a 2009 accord with 209k 4cyl full tank last me 5 weeks
Spare tire? My last 3 cars (8 years) didn’t have a spare tire (Volvo,Audi and Mercedes)
AAA
Excellent video. Brought up some factoids that I wasn't even aware of. If I could learn something from a video then it served my purpose. I will do my own research because I believe no one now days.
My prius is solid and proven. Comes with spare tires
The best way is to own one to learn. After that, you will never ever touch it with a 10 foot pole. It's your own hard earned dosh, do what you wish. Wisdom is when you have it for 10 years, the only place is to the rubbish tip or resell for less than the new battery price you just put in.
I’d be the last person in the world to own an electric car.
there would be a horse carriage driver about 100 years ago saying the same thing. didn't work out well for them ;)
Yet here you are watching a video about an electric car….nobody cares that you won’t buy one. Like literally nobody

1. eco frendly: 1 tesla battery poluts for 8 years. a fule car poluts its whole life span
2. used car: this is true
3. batterys are re-useble
4. most cars comes without spare tires as standar. extra tires are adon
5. braking is true, its easy to learn, just brake ones a week
6. its not wors in cold weather, i live in -20c in the winter all you need is to pre heat car
7. winter driving: just dont have a heavy foot
8. charging. if you stop to gas in long drives, you will most likely go to the toilet and get coffe att the same time. = to about 15-20 minutes same as 20-80% on a Tesla
9. its not harder to get roadside asistant in a tesla. they most likely can fix the problem over the air
10. there is no need to look for gass staions in a tesla, it will find them themselvs if they need it, its just as easy to run out of gass
11. oh no my car broke, i need to mend it! - oh no my tesla broke down, good thing they have a garranti on there cars so i dont need to do nothing
12. show me any other car that can fully drive them selvs without assistans, its is allsow requered by law that the driver needs to keep his/hers eyes on the road at all times. (look upon it more like a drivers aid)
13. you can update the hardwear in a tesla at any service point, just like a desctop computer
14. Telsa Model Y is the safest car on the road today following the Ncap, the European car test.
I was using FSD in my 2018 MS a few weeks ago and the car hit one of those large garbage cans. I should have been paying more attention to the road. The side view mirror is about 800 bucks. I still like the car but will have to be more careful when using FSD. Tesla did not offer to pay for the damage to my car.
I’m so sorry 😞
yes, totally your fault !
You were not paying attention and Tesla should pay for your mistake? They clearly state you need to maintain 100% attention while using it every time you engage it, as well as in the manual and the autopilot section of the settings were you enable it for the first time.
@@SBsupreme602 Thank you. I still like my MS. It has a top speed of 155 MPH. I have not opened it up yet but hope to soon. I will be driving it to Missouri next month and don't have to stop at any gas stations. If I get tired I can stop and take a nap with the AC on as it will only use about three or four miles of range per hour. These electric cars are the future of driving. Time will make them better for the world.
@@rayheatley9910 I agree
Most electricity is generated with steam turbines using fossil fuels, nuclear. Pollution to make the electricity, pollution to produce the battery.
The list goes on and on. Lots of plastics. What to do with the battery when it's stops holding the charge properly ? What a mess.
Now I'm rethinking about Tesla cars
such a dumb video. doesnt peteol fueld cars also needs to be produced wich causes a lot of co2?
value of an used telsa? well, they are sold so fast, good luck finding one. no problem here either.
havent watched further...
I drove a Tesla today in Michigan on ice covered roads at 76 mph and it didn’t slip and slide at all. It kept traction all the time.
Great story. And??? Anyone with a brain knows that AWD is no guarantee of no slip in absolutely any way.
Driving 76 mph on ice covered roads, doesn't sound like a good idea
If you really drove 76 mph on ice covered roads, it only proves you're an unsafe driver. You not only put yourself at risk, but other road users as well.
Probably wouldn’t take advice from a video that spells “break” instead of “brake”… Jesus Christ
It would be interesting to know who financed this hit piece. Oh. By the way, “brake “ is the correct English word for the mechanical function mentioned.
The new Tesla models are garbage, there is NO reason as to why the wipers should be LOCKED on auto when on cruise control (maybe auto pilot) but not cruise control. The amount of time the wipers goes on when it's a bright sunny day because of this is absurd. They can only be turned off when not on cruise control or auto pilot.
Given the amount of people that have complained about this, you'd think Tesla would release a new software update addressing this by now.
You do not need to carefully study where charging stations are Tesla will route you there automatically there is one every 75 miles on average.
25,000 stalls globally.
Ok hairline Mathew 🤣
I give elon about another yr before he's offed himself or disappeared
Whys everyone disliking this?? Mans just speaking facts!!
Pro super chargers charge in under 15 mins, Tesla's have a hugeeee warranty so if you "break down" your pretty much covered....they perform amazing in snow, and the self driving isn't fully self driving it tells you to pay attention.
I’ve owned a model 3 performance for almost 2 years, and most of this is not accurate
What parts specifically are not accurate and how did you gauge this from your ownership experience?
Sure
I’ve owned an ICE Toyota for 3 years. Zero issues. I’ll gladly do cicles around you in the mud, snow and while you charge up
Sure. Electric vehicles are more of a burden than a blessing. I'll stick with my internal combustion engine while you charge up your Tesla. My best advice for you is to man up, grow some balls and buy a V-8. This electric shit will not last. It's been nothing but a scam from the beginning.
I watched some other videos on your channel out of morbid curiosity. How is it that you were so insanely wrong on so much in this video but your other ones aren't nearly as wrong? There are some mistakes in those as well, but it's night and day compared to this one.
Dual personalities? Did you do this video and then have an epiphany that EVs aren't worse than gas cars and forget to remove this one?
Did you lose funding from Mobil / Shell / and truck nuts makers?
Is this channel one big epic troll?
Electric cars are a fad.
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are the future. Same refueling time as gasoline rides and no huge, heavy, flammable and toxic 400V battery packs that are a nightmare to recycle.
Ok I’m 3:45 minutes in and I have a few problems with this. As the title suggests this is about “10 problems of owning a Tesla” and for the first thing he said that they are not eco friendly witch is not a problem when I own a Tesla. And for the fourth one he said that they have regenerative braking witch is a “problem”for new unexperienced drivers , but the fact is this can be turned off in car settings. For number 5 it does not take an hour and a half to fully charge your Tesla on a supercharger for the base model y it only takes 45 minutes and for number 2 this guy needs to watch more wham Bham Tesla cam because while auto pilot does sometimes get you into accidents it a lot of the time saves people.
45 minutes tf, who tf wants to wait that long to get back on the highway lmaooo
@@chrispaulwashed hey better 45 mins than an hour
You are delusional.
It is said that prob around I’d say “no checking” ab 80% at least of accidents are cause by human error
Teslas are far better than any regular car no engine oil , no spark plugs , no leaking or overheating just charge and drive it
There is actually no good reason for anyone to own a Tesla unless money is no object and they really really care about the environment or the image factor. From a practical standpoint, you can get much better vehicles for the cost of a Tesla
I mean if you don't like 0-60 mph is under 2 seconds then yeah i get it.
@@devineyoufine so that's a reason to pay 50 to 100% more than you need to for a car? If I want a thrill i'll buy a season pass to a theme park for $100
@@toms8483 bro that faster 0-60 than a Lamborghini. How much do you pay for a luxury sports car. People pay $400k for that type of performance.
Lots of errors in this video
At 1:30 he said "a bike might suite you better and the world too", then shows a motorcycle. A motorcycle has essentially NO emissions control, and put out about 10x more than an SUV when it comes to nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
At 1:45 he says Tesla does not have the history to guess the market value of used cars. If you search now, 2-3 year old Model 3's are selling about 85-90% the value of new.
At 2:10 he says you cannot recycle the cars. No...you cannot recycle the batteries, but the cars will still work with a new battery, so essentially, the car is recyclable.
At 3:07...it is supposed to be spelled BRAKE not BREAK. Also, regenerative braking will give more life to the pads/rotors.
At 4:15, heat pumps are standard in 2022, much less of a problem in the cold.
At 4:20, Teslas are specifically not any more difficult than any other vehicle in snow, depends how you drive. If you have a turbo Subaru and punch it, it will lose traction too.
5:00...This is not specific to Tesla. ALL electric vehicles take longer to fill than gas.
7:00, Autopilot does not mean "self-driving", it is an assist. An airplane autopilot doesn't mean the human pilot can just go to sleep. They have to also "man their station".
I will be the last human on earth to buy an electric car. Absolutely REFUSE to drive an electric car. Charge me $20/gal for gas, I'll pay it..
Wtf
Every time I've been driving behind a tesla, it's jerking all on the road. I didnt know if it was the driver but after witnessing multiple teslas do the same thing I figure it was the car. Just cus its "fancy" and the "hot new thing" dont mean its worth it
I like my Silverado. I did my own work on it. Tired of the gas though.
That first point was so dumb because I bet making the ICE car in the factory does just as much harm to the environment. At least when u get the finished product between the two, at least the Tesla no longer requires gas.
Can we have your source list? I can’t find anything about the battery packs bring non eco-friendly
Here’s a source “common sense”
Dumb response
I not have a single of these problems, I drive a 17 Year old Volvo V70 full options diesel, runs always, cold or hot, and 13 km on a liter, oh and I purchased the car 9 years ago for 2300 euro's
I still like a good late 80s or early 90s 4 cylinder car, like an E30, over one of these Teslas. I'll admit, it's a really cool and innovative approach to the car industry and driving, but think about it: all of that expensive, high-tech gadgetry...in a car? A car: something that can easily get jacked, in an accident, or damaged by mother nature in? All for that much more money up front? Nah, I don't think so. I'll pass for the sake of nostalgia, practicality, and financial costs.
Ur wrong
There is no way tesla is going to run out of charge. Tesla pre plans the trip including super charger stops. And there are like 2000 super chargers only in USA. And it does not take 1 and half hour to charge a tesla it takes only 30to 40 mins. This guy some how hates tesla which is the best Car company in the world and has a couple of world records.
