Her: “Extremely cold 0 to -5 degrees”
Me: “laughs in Canada”
In Croatia extremely cold is considered around -20
Even in the uk that warm
assume she is speaking fahrenheit not celsius, so giving her a pass.
0 degrees, would be like -20 in “Canadian” lmao.
Me also laughed in Austrian alps 😂
Her: I don’t regret buying it.... and the title: why you shouldn’t buy one.... lol
Click bait
@@promiseeguh4759 I mean kinda, but reasons not to buy one is exactly what she's talking about.
Women... the more you know
Owning one myself, I can see this happening. I currently do not have a charger at home, but as I’m working on it, the supercharger I go to is 20 minutes away bc I live near the beach, and they’re closer to highways and big suburbs. I can’t use my trickle charger during the week because they’re painting my building either, but as temporary as it is, it does get annoying. She has very valid points that I think anyone with an EV can understand. She’s just pointing out the struggle 😅
@@emjmar nice
Her: “I’m talking extreme cold like 0 degree”
Every Canadian: “So you mean normal cold.”
Extreme is actually like -40°
She meant 0 degree farenheit
@@haziaheivecrisostomo I know. It is usual that the temperature is 0 (-18 Celsius) in winter at night or early morning in many cities in Canada.
@@mordudelatechno still extreme cold for Vancouver hahaha
so don't buy any electric car if you live in Canada Russia or any other country that has cold winters because there garbage cars that are not practical and sound crap
“I don’t regret buying it. . . I LOVE IT!” Great title then…
Clickbait to attract Tesla haters and convert them.
It’s called playing Devil’s advocate.
1. Reason I can’t buy a Tesla, my bank account
You need no Tesla thats so over hyped.buy a used.
hey! i love your videos @reallifepsych! keep it up!
@iris thank you!! trying to be the shelby church of psychology haha
Just drive old junk. That's what I do, it's better for your bank account anyway. I will never buy new car even if I make a ton of money.
@@chrislanejones Why
Why not call an electrician and make a proper charging installation? When you already spent tens of thousands of $$ on a car like that, it makes sense to spend a few hundred to be able to charge in the comfort of your home. That would be the first thing I would do.
Not if you rent.
@@dm2060 she co owns 2 houses, shouldn't be a problem
@@moodchainz4357 she doesn't live in any of the houses she owns. She lives in LA, where she rents. Surely you aren't suggesting that she live in LA and charge her car in Seattle?
Yeah that does makes sense but I don’t think she lives in the house which she bought
EXACTLY U GET IT
Great points worth considering, I've experienced the same. Depends on how much you'll love driving a Tesla over the inconveniences.
Superchargers are being added with my experience on the east cost is on major highways.
I've heard that it's much easier to just charge it for a few minutes without waiting until that LOW THRESHOLD where it needs to "warm up" to get to the supercharging zone. It makes sense. And I also live in Cali so we have tons of superchargers that you can sit for a few minutes instead of an hour+ because you waited until the battery was so low. Little charges make it more manageable. Just like filling gas is probably best at the half mark so if you forget and have shit to do, you aren't panicking about gas.
When you punch in the address of the SC station you’re going to it will start warming up the battery to make the charging go more efficiently.when you get there.
@@Chainyanker007 yup. Got my tesla now for almost a year now and it’s not bad at charging at all.
The newer Tesla model 3s have heat pumps so they are more efficient in the cold
What year did that start?
^ this!
@@Ghost-jy9hk end of 2020 for the Model 3, the Model Y already came with the heat pump.
This one is the bace model anyways!The long range one gets way more miles!
The updated model 3s do? I know the model Ys do
The new model 3 Tesla's have 353 miles of range so that's not bad for a road trip. So it depends on the model of Tesla you get one for more city driving and the other more for road trips. Using the AC in a petrol car does lower your car’s fuel efficiency by an average of 3 miles per gallon depending on the age and size of your car. So Tesla will have something similar to that effect. Shelby would need to provide the car efficiency data (which all Tesla's have in the heads up display or settings on the tablet) to get a better idea how much charge the A/C or heater is using.
Nobody can get 352 miles
Unless you are in Australia like me, where there are no superchargers in any of the petrol station. Pretty much can’t do road trip with a Tesla here. Personally, prefer a Toyota with extended fuel tank, Brisbane to Sydney without stopping to refuel
new model s has 832 km (520miles) of range
@Mist your comparing a $38k model 3 to a model S that’s over $100k. Makes no sense.
353 miles iisnt the real life range
Good thing I can’t afford it any time soon, hopefully when I’m ready in a couple of year they would’ve fixed all these issues
They already have lol
Shelby, I love the delivery of your content in these videos and you are just so natural and easy to listen to I will continue to check you out ! 🤩🌹
I live in Norway. In the winter we get up to -20 degrees celcius sometimes even more. I got the new 2021 longe range Model 3 with heat pump. No problem at all, it handels snow and cold weather with no problem
Thank you for your comment! Didn’t know about the heat pump
@@dailyfuturetrades4998 I live in Sweden with a 2019 standard range Model 3 without heat pump. Never had any problems with the range
@has yes
Cold weather shortens the life of the Tesla battery
@@jerrychacon8814 ehh no. It decreases range, it doesn't wear the battery much if there's a good BMS (which the Tesla has for sure!)
the 2021 Tesla Model 3, does now have a heat pump (better energy efficient in cold climates) and the octave valve, which keeps the battery cool, utilizing the cells better
I agree to all three, have a model s 75D and thought this would be my travel vehicle . After driving for 2 years realized you need a 300 + for road trips , I’m going with 400 + mile range for my travel vehicle and that’s because Tesla reduces the speed of supercharging once over 50 % .
I live in Fairbanks and drive around at -30F all the time! Model 3 works like a champ. I charge with the 120V and it works just fine.
You're lying
I like how the end just says “Title”.
yaaaaas
Got those Title vibes.
Oh no Shelby, I hate editing video for that reason.
That has to be an error, it looks like the stock title for most editing software lol
Title
Good Vlog and nice to see you endorsing/working with Omaze! Great site that does a lot of good for charities! BTW, if you have to use an extension cord for charging the Tesla make sure it's a heavy duty or contractor grade or else they can overheat, also the ones with the "glow" ends that light up to let you know it's plugged in are really bad about burning up the see through plastic caps when used for a long time or when high current (like car charging) is being drawn for extended periods of time. Not dangerous if they blacken up and it will function fine, but it will ruin the lights in the cord.
Its pretty funny that you fried the wall outlet trying to charge your car. Thanks for being so transparent!
I live in Fargo, ND with a Nissan Leaf for a daily driver. Yes, my range is noticeably reduced in the winter months, but not so much that I regret owning an EV. I'll still never go back to an ICE vehicle. Awesome video!
So what I notice is that your gripes are about your specific Tesla. Not all. Your first concern is about range. But you have the SR+, the Tesla with the lowest available range. Then you mention concerns about range in the cold. But all Tesla now have heat pumps so they are more efficient in the cold.
I think she loves her tesla its only that she wana make this "video" for :)
Not all tesla's have heat pump. The new 2021 model 3 has the heat pumps
Mine have no heat pumps and it gets cold around here. Not very cold but freezing.
No problem, the range is a bit less then in summer. Its really no biggie.
Jeremy!!! It kind of reminds me of this old video ua-cam.com/video/5IjO9P7F-Cw/v-deo.html
I live in Canada and drive in snow and temps are 10-20. This is nothing new. LRRWD and I get around just fine. Yes I can lose 20-30% but why does a ICE lose? Plus I can preheat the car without killing anyone.
They put heat pumps in the model 3 and Y now which eliminates that issue in cold weather
Command strip the bulky part of the charger to your ceiling and plug it in. The car just pulls more power than a normal extension cord can handle but you could mcgiver the charger to work in your house
I live in Canada and have had a Tesla Model S since 2015. Gets up to -40 Celcius here sometimes in the winter. I have lost about 30-40km of Range in my 85D that i used to have but always had enough range. Now I have a P 100D which has a lots of range for my daily drive.
I have a high power wall connector at home which is a must if you are buying a Tesla.
I just rode in one yesterday and was like omg I need one
I've never even sat in a Tesla 😂
I have never seen one 😭
@@MillaExplores once you ride in one you will want one.
@@carl5438 yep
I live in MN and really haven’t had a crazy situation from the cold. I also have a charger at home and would 100% recommend having one at your house.
Yes me too
Hey Shelby Thanks a bunch for this informative video you made, it does solidify my decision to buying an EV. However, this issue did come across my mind, specially if I take a trip more than the mileage it offers per/charge. Take care!!
They’ve expanded their supercharger drastically over the past years. They’ve just concentrate their investment in rural areas as well as other countries.
I think the charging issue will become less of a problem in the future as they become more ubiquitous in the future.
Meh, still have to wait 45 minutes to charge your car when on a long distance trip. And if someone is in front of you..... now it's an hour and a half. That's absurd. That's a game breaker.
Its the ending saying "Title" for me
lol happens to the best of them
I live in Latvia, it gets pretty cold and my electric car range decreases by about 30-40% when it gets really cold.
My Smart EQ ForFour looses 50% of battery and BMW i3s looses about 30%. Food for thought! Great video!
Canadian owner: SR+ is great for in city use even in the coldest winter months. I love mine. I also agree that if you can’t charge at home this car won’t feel like a blessing, especially in the cold climates.
I’m in a condominium complex I only charge it superchargers the network is huge I have never had a problem getting a charge, I’ve never even waited to get a charge pull up open the port and go
A few things… I would change your video title to say “3 reasons why you shouldn’t buy a Standard Range Model 3/Y”, or “3 reasons you should buy a LONG RANGE instead of a Standard Range.”
Pretty much all of your complaints have more to do with the fact you bought a Standard Range instead of a Long Range. The SR+ is not really intended to be a road trip car. It can be, but you will obviously have to stop more frequently. The 240 mile range is not based on highway driving. It’s a mix of city and highway, mainly city. It’s really designed for people that don’t drive that much or who are on a tight budget but really want a Tesla. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still better than most other EVs currently available and the Supercharger access means you can go just about anywhere, but the long range is what you should have bought if you wanted to go on frequent trips. Also, I don’t know how often you check your tire pressures but you need to keep the tires inflated to 42-44PSI. It also looks like you removed the aero wheel covers which in and of itself hurts your range by 5-7%. If you buy a Long Range AWD Model 3 you can easily go 240-300 miles on the interstate going 70-80MPH. Obviously if it’s super cold outside (
Range anxiety has always been my biggest concern. But with all the new infrastructure being built, I don't think that will be a problem soon.
It was also my concern before getting my M3 but honestly the super charge network makes it so easy. Every ~2h I stop for a 10/15 min charge and then I keep going for another ~2h. Depending on where you live it really isn't an issue today.
ua-cam.com/video/7wptOxZyblA/v-deo.html
Range remains a massive issue in the Western US. For anyone who enjoys outdoor recreation in the Mountain West, a Tesla is a problematic vehicle. Who wants to stop every two hours when driving somewhere if that option even exists? It's ridiculous. But things are improving rapidly and there's no stopping EV market driven momentum.
@@MJ-eo5hd Indeed. Thats why I haven't gone fully electric yet. There are better options currently, but in a few years, it will make sense.
The Tesla will tell you in plenty of time you need juice. When on a trip you can have the display screen show you the distance to the next charging station, Get juice before the car has 30 miles left in the range. So if you have a 300-mile range battery, figure your charging station at 270 miles. you are good.
Hi, Shelby! I've been watching your videos for over one year and a half! I love your content!❤
She rocks!
I am an 2015 Nissan Leaf 24kwh user in Siberia, Russia and I found electrocar super convenient car if you need about 100km (60mil) per day. Off course, you must have an outlet in your garage for a charging during the night. Unfortunately, in cold area, as Siberia, where we have cold winter and hot summer, a car’s battery loses its capacity dramatically fast. However, it is always ready to go, whereas normal cars should be warmed up before go.
You should look into buying the car cover I didn’t have to wash mine for about a month it’s a life saver I drive daily and cover it every time I get home but it’s worth it when u see how clean it stays
The new Tesla's with the heat pumps are much more efficient in the cold.
Was looking for someone to mention this
Test has been done in Canada recently with 4 model 3 and results is only 1% less consumption in' a cold weather with heatpump... The reason is that heatpump is powered by the battery also.... Not big difference... The main diff is the bigger battery
@@Luis-sr2cc it’s still 20% inefficient in the cold it’s not the same.
Yes but if you own a 2018 or a 2019, you don’t get the heat pump. You can’t expect everyone to trade in their cars just for that.
@@SkippyPB. Of course not, but she should have at least mentioned it for any potential buyers who might be watching.
If you're reading this you have the potential to create great things.
🌈💚🤍
Tesla owner here without a home charger.
It's not so bad IF you live near a supercharger station. I live about 10 minutes away and what I do is every Thursday night I take my dog with me and I just take him on a 30 min walk. I then pick up some food to eat and eat it in my car. After 45 min or so, the car is fully charged. So it's not a big deal if you find a way to occupy your time.
Toyota owner here without a home gas station
Its not so bad without a gas station
im joking
-5 degrees: "extreme cold" LOL!!!! That's a really warm day in any place that actually gets winter!
Even the standard version of the model 3 has a range of 263 miles and the actual time at the supercharger to charge up to 80% is only 20 or 25 minutes, the long range has 353 miles of range and it works very well on long trips, I have one and have traveled a lot in it, you can coordinate your stops with the time you also eat and it works so well that in most cases the car charges faster than the time it takes you to go to the restroom and eat something.
Supercharging a Li-Ion kills battery life, never ever supercharge. Range falls 65% in colder weather, so divide by 3 if you live in the north half of the US, and divide again by 2 if you drive above 70.
I want one so bad lol
Same..
"Indecent Proposal" 😂
It’s always been my dream car 😭 it’s crazy because they’re affordable until you want the self drive. Upgraded interior. Then it jumps higher ☹️
@@DisneySleeve Keep saving
weird seeing you comment on others videos !!
if you charge at home you can restrict the amps. For german power grits you i recomand to not charge over 9 amps which makes around 2 kW, no ide for the US. Also make sure you have propper fuses installed wich would prevent smoldering as shown in the video.
Outstanding video! There's so many videos of people talking about Teslas, You are the first and only truly honest person to talk about the cons dealing with Tesla's! Bravo!
We have lots of Tesla’s in Norway where we have -10 to -40 in the winter. Its no problem!
Yeah but a couple of years later is the range 20% fewer.
@@you2bevsgoogle no no. Have had Tesla in Norway in 5 years.
The range definitely reduces in cold weather because heating in car is very energy consuming. There is nothing wrong in what Shelby said.
that just shows that this is completely 'ONLY HER OPINION' video, with no fact background check; no sense in making that kind of video, where telling people 'yeah it's bad, but I don't really know'. She is making her look stupid, she wants to be creative and professional, but in the end, it looks like making all those Tesla videos are the same; but hey, bringing her coins to the pocket...
Yes Norway had the most number of EVs
I love my Model X and would never go back to a gas car. BUT: I have a 240 v outlet in my garage and I live in Atlanta, so climate is not an issue. Also, my range is 320ish miles. I've had it a year and have only Super Charged it once on one road trip.
As a Northern Iowa/Illinois driver I can say Point #2 only really matters in relation to Point #1. Yes, I have to charge more percentage per day in the dead of winter, but it's still cheaper than gas and always full by morning. Also, super easy to pre-heat my car. Road trips are the only time where I'd be concerned about it. Still can make the 2 hour drive to my parents though. I just have to be more conscious about starting with a full charge. Granted there are much colder places than here. Also just keep in mind that cold weather range loss will be decreasing with the Model Y and the new Model 3 because of the heat pump.
We have a LR 2020 Model 3 and live in Montana. It handles pretty well. But definitely see a drain when using the heat alot. in 90 mines we go from 80% to about 20%.
If I would ever buy a car in this price range, it would probably be a Tesla. Seems like an awesome car. 😌
It is.
Hi there
I saw a video froma guy who bought an early Tesla model. He listed all his repairs over the last 5 years. I can easily say that if I added up all the repairs from every car I owned over the last 40 years, I would still have had less repairs than that one Tesla car.
I would still wait 3-4 years... Tesla is still working out the kinks & their technology is still jumping rapidly... I would wait till their new battery packs are installed & are at least a year old... I suspect range anxiety won't exist in a few years when they solidify their new technology...
@@whatwhome6914 yeah but tbf buying an early edition of anything is kind of risky
Did you get the enhanced battery package? We did and so we have like 200+ miles before we have to stop and recharge. We love our Model 3! It's a lot of fun!
Just bought a Tesla Y last week. So far I love it. It’s easy to familiarize yourself with all of the cool stuff.
Agree to her all 3 points given I've owned model 3 since 2018. These are points that I talked to people when they consider buying Tesla or electric cars. Not sure how efficient heat pump is since I have to try to know, but cold weather is a real issue that you should concern. I have long range dual motor and commute 180 miles couple times a week did give me range anxiety sometimes, just when driving in cold weather plus going up and down the hill, and drive fast 80 miles/h. Sometimes I wonder if I would gone for single motor to reduce car's weight and acceleration that would give me some extra range.
Just bought a Model Y that I'm picking up in 8 days. I live in South Dakota where it gets pretty cold. I'll let you know how it goes.
Shelby's is a pre-heat pump Model 3 so her limited cold weather experience is out of date for current newly purchased Teslas. Her super hot experience in her car is more indicative of super cold performance in a heat pump Tesla than her actual super cold performance would be in the car she owns. I also have an older Model 3 (in the Seattle area so I avoid the extreme cold; it's barely been below freezing overnight so far this winter) and I definitely notice a range difference between winter and summer, but I have resistive heating which is far less efficient.
As noted in the comments above by DarkPoindexter1982- "Bjørn Nyland is a UA-camr that lives in Norway that will give you a better understanding how EVs fair in colder areas."
@@toddwright662 I was thinking the heat pump should make it all good. Saw something about warming it up for 3 to 4 minutes and then it worked great with limited loss.
@@Micro2Macr0 That seems to be the consensus I've seen from those that have operated it in really cold weather. My father in law has a Model Y, but it's still new enough that he doesn't have enough info, and he lives in the same general climate I do, so no super cold on the scale you deal with in winters. Have fun with it next week.
I really appreciate this “devil’s advocate” outlook on Tesla’s. You always hear why you should but it’s nice hearing from an owner the cons as well! Great video
So true, I can't deal with stopping everywhere on a road trip.
In reality, it's not a big deal on road trips, since you're bound to stop for restrooms and meals if it's a long way. Stay charging on Level 2 overnight if you're at a hotel en route, then start that leg on a full charge.
@@chrislanejones Its balance. Like she says if you road trip all the time then it could be a hassle although she has the model with the lowest range that they dont even make an more. Still the balance is that if you have home charging you get rid of weekly stops at gas stations with more stops on a road trip. As someone who lives in Chicago it is wonderful to never have to visit a gas station in January or February. Also you can now get versions of all Teslas that have 350+ mile range.
@@keithfranklin214 True.
I have to take a break and usually pee every couple of hrs anyway, so no big deal for me but I did get the LR model 3 so that helps
Good video. I own a Chevy Bolt, however I also own an ICE( internal combustion engine) car. I own my home and have a Siemans Charging Station installed in the garage for charging the Bolt. When we need long trips to San Diego from AZ for example, we take the ICE car. I love EVs, but they are not for everyone. This will change soon, but for today, potential EV buyers must think things out. Apartment/Condo dwellers are at a serious disadvantage and usage of the A/C or heater will draw at least 10%+ more power. Thanks for your sharing.
Imo, auto driving is more stressful than manual driving especially in the UK. You never know when the car will take the wrong exit or just relieve control to you in the middle of a roundabout
Always wanted a Tesla, future plans when I have the money haha
Same
Buy Tesla stock when ever you can. This should help you have more money sooner--to buy your Tesla.

Tesla is still using old battery technology.

I use Li-ion batteries for other purposes and they DO NOT work well in cold temps and it doesn’t need to be extreme cold to have a negative effect.
Nice video ;) I live in Switzerland where 6 months of the year is quite cold, it’s full of Tesla’s here 😃
Every reason you mentioned is something I also considered a drawback but I still bought one anyway. My commute is only 4 miles each way (4 days a week) and we have free charging at the office. I live in a house and have access to an outlet to charge at home if necessary, however since I charge at work I rarely need to charge at home which is great cause charging 200+ miles at home takes days. I rarely drive it these days though since we’re working from home. All in all, you’re right buying this car is something that requires a lot of consideration and planning. Definitely worth it though if you do get one.
why would you get a car that takes days to charge?! thats just weird and sooo wrong.
We have a Nissan Leaf electric car and a Tesla Model 3. We live in Ottawa Canada. Definitely notice a range loss in both cars. We have a house with a charger installed so no worries there. The Leaf is really only good for short trips around the city in the winter. The Tesla is slightly better but still needs more frequent charging than in the warmer months. So, all good points Shelby. That being said, Ottawa doesn't get the bitter 0F and below temperatures for very many days of the year. We usually have temperatures in the 10 to 20F range (around -15 to -10C) for January and February.
Love my 2021 model 3, it is doing great in our harsh winters, -25 and colder, leased it for 4 years so I just beat it and bring it back for another one, really fun car, glad I bought it
my dad has the 2020 model x and he totally recommended it
Extreme heat drys out the electrolyte in your battery. Meaning that the overall longevity is reduced and those batteries aren't cheap.
You're not talking about Tesla batteries right? The batteries are totally sealed. Regularly unsealed ICE batteries will lose electrolyte so need to put H2O in them, and yes those are getting expensive, over $100 for good one.
Some of my friends and family live between 190 and 230 miles way, I visit on a day trip have lunch and return in the evening, I do this on regular basis. My daughter she drives around 60K miles plus a year for work and domestic use. You are right battery cars are OK for city driving but long distance is something else. My cousin drove her Nissan Leaf to visit it was only 140 miles it took her 5 hours that was one way she uses her Volvo to visit now .
Your hundred percent correct. Cross-country put several hours to your travel time. My alternate plans would be to keep the car I've got now and only use it for long distance trips or rent a car for long distance trips. Also I worry about the heat. I live in Phoenix Arizona. The summer is get routinely to 115 degrees and off the asphalt it's as high as 165 degrees.
Also people forget that the air conditioner does consume battery life. Also the car just sitting there is using electricity.
The long range Model 3 (we have 2) is much better to road trip thanks to more range and faster charging than the base.
How long does it take to charge a regular range and long range when you are on the road? Do people charge from empty to full?
@@PeriWinkle33957 The car charges fastest between 0% and 70%, and the car knows that, so it is going to plan your trip out for you accordingly, getting you to each charger with a low state of charge, and then notifying you that you can continue your journey when you get to 70% or 80%, which typically takes no more than 20 minutes tops.
@@teslasnek TY!😊
The extreme cold weather does impact the range.. add to that if you live in a region full of hills. Despite all of that. Hands down, love Tesla and can't wait for they to start filling the orders of the cyber truck!
Gabi, the impact of cold weather only marginally affects range (and applies to gas cars too). Hills are not an issue since your battery gets charged on every downhill descent. You're right about Cybertruck-that will be a gamechanger!
@@johnp.weiksnar6861 40% of lost range in -20C weather is not marginal, Cold weather does have a huge impact on the range 😂
@@caden6762 In two and a half winters of ownership, my efficiency takes a 7% hit.
Even a 40% hit on a SR+ like Shelby's leaves over 150 miles of range.
The average daily commute in the US is less than 40 miles.
Why the 😂?
You have to buy an extension cord with the correct guage rating, lower guage= thicker wire=able to handle more amps of electricity.
I have an old Nissan Leaf, no charger at home (cause there's lots of free ones around me) & I love it. long trips are a no but that's ok for me, I could always rent a car but so far I've never had to
Long range Tesla Model 3 EPA range is 353 miles, and is currently 9k more.
Even then my wife's gas car still has more range and my equinox is dang near close and gets filled up and back on road in less than close. I'll agree tesla might "look nice" but there are still a lot of gas cars that are much more efficient. If I was gonna pay that much for a new tesla or even used I'd rather take that money and put it on an old classic and upgrade it

I own a Model Y, and it comes with a heat pump, which uses less energy than a resistive heater found in earlier Model 3's like Shelby's. Newer Model 3's, as well as the refreshed Model S/X all have a heat pump as well, so they shouldn't use nearly as much energy as the older models. But they are a lot noisier, almost sounding like a gas engine at times, though luckily you can't really hear it inside the vehicle.
But like Shelby said, if you don't have reliable home, or workplace charging, it can be more of a hassle. On the plus side, more places are setting up charging stations, and as more EV's show up on the road, there will be more demand for these slow chargers at parking lots at work, shopping centers, and apartment complexes.
If you use your EV vehicle primarily just to go to work or for shopping, have a 220/240 volt outlet in your house and can convert your electricity to Time of Use (TOU) Rates, you can almost drive for Free. The current TOU Rate in Vegas from 10 pm to early morning is about $.05 per kWh. By charging over night in LV, you could almost be driving around for free! In LA, it is $.19 per kWh so the savings isn’t as much, but still cheaper than those DC charging rates, and you won’t be damaging your batteries as much. The Tesla onboard computer eases the range anxiety somewhat by planning your cross country trips through its Supercharger system. That helps, but it still can’t compare to the ubiquitous gas stations.
Hey Shelby, If you you go on road trips frequently, then you should obviously get the long range model 3. People should consider their driving distance and buy a long range or standard range. Anyways, loved the video and keep up the great work!
Yes, people should do their homework before buy a big ticket item. I don’t think she did., esp. the charging part.
... or get a hybrid 😊 You wouldn't have these issues. Your road trips will be awesome and no dull moment in any weather conditions 💪
Do you think the long range version would solve your road trip issue?
If she drove below 1/2 battery charge left would solve her range issues.
Give it 3 years
That extreme climate you speak of is normal weather for 3 months of the year. Then remember that a lot of the power from home charging goes into just keeping the battery warm. Then think of the joys of supercharging in the dead of winter when it's close to zero.
Change at home I just find a way to use my dryer outlet which is a Nema 14-50 I just had to buy a 100 foot long Nema 14-50 extension cord and a y shaped splitter cord so that you can plug in your electric car and your dryer at the same time
newer Tesla’s have heat pump thus more efficient warning up your cars in cold weather.
Good thing you’ve experienced life earlier than me so I can learn from your advice. Thanks for another great video Shelby! I admire your editing skills.
240 range is a small range now for a Tesla. In cold climate the new Tesla's have the heat pump which helps a ton.
The home charging point is what I’ve been really weighing (I have a shared ev charger in my building) but I don’t think this is going to work. Vid super helpful.
My dad has a tesla model x long range plus its okay the miles go down when its sooo cold but after some time it comes back
You have the lowest range tesla in existence and are complaining about the range of Tesla's in general. How INTERESTING.
It still has better range than most BEVs though. RANGE IS KING
My thoughts. My Model S 100D will happily do 300 miles in the cold. I wouldn't have bought one that could only manage 100 miles.
Title “ why you shouldn’t buy one “ Her : “ I love it i don’t regret buying it “ 😭💀
Indeed
She didn’t say “why I wouldn’t buy one” she said “why you shouldn’t buy one” as in if these things she lists don’t suit your needs, then don’t buy one.
FUD
@@NickyNicest crazy how people aren’t understanding that
Thank you for the info
Best reason:
$17,000/month electric bills in Texas.
Great video and epic ending “Title” 😂 Cheers!
I live in Northern Cali!
Temperature is not a problem for us
42-85 is tandard temp
The title is misleading btw lol only cause it looks like you didn’t like Tesla, but to be honest it’s actually a helpful video for me. I’m looking to get one and all other videos just talk about the benefits. Appreciate you out this together, thank you!
That’s why you always get the biggest battery
You mean get the biggest battery you can afford.
Great tips! Tesla has been on our radar for a while now. We're travelling at the moment so don't need a car, but hopefully our next car will be an electric one 😁
People should know that unless they are real old there is an EV in their future, ICE cars will be largely gone in the next 15-20 years. Foolish to buy a new ICE now, EVs so much cheaper to own, electric 'fuel' much cheaper than gasoline, no oil changes, no tuneups, very rare brake jobs thanks to regen braking I hardly ever use my brakes. If you have your own place so much less hassel to just plug in at night and next morning you're all charged up. It usually take about 4 hrs on my 40 amp 240 v circuit. Of course the amount of discharge and the level of charge you want is variable so charger time will vary but if you plug in at night not a problem.
@@Chainyanker007 Great points! We come from Australia, where the rollout of EVs and supporting infrastructure has been much slower. We're travelling at the moment, so have no need for a car just yet. Perhaps in a few years we'll buy one again. It's going to be a huge technology leap from our old car when we do!
Myself as a guy that did 20 years in the military and drove non stop from anchorage Alaska to Phoenix Arizona twice and used to drive between Florida and Arizona 4 or 5 times a year the frequent charging stops are now a plus not a deterrent. Especially now that I’m getting older it wipes me out driving 12 hours or more straight only stopping for gas. I’m just miserable and sore for a few days after a trip like that in a gas car now. Doing it in a Tesla and stopping every few hours for a real break yeah the trip takes longer but I’m not sore and tired when I get there.
Gotta love the Canadian winters hitting -35 to -45 degrees C which is -31 to -40 degrees F, would hate to find out my battery pack froze in the middle of the night lmao
it usually gets that cold in parts of the US, the batteries will still work but with reduced range.
I think your reasons 1 and 2 are very, very minor.
I've done a ton of trips and greatly prefer my Tesla over an of my other cars including a car I can drive almost 600mi without stopping. What I've found is that I am FAR more relaxed and comfortable during and after my trip even though I stopped more and added 30min/1hr to total time depending on trip. This was due to 1) autopilot which really really helps make the drive far more relaxing and 2) stopping occasionally to get and walk, etc was a game changer IMO. Though I do buy more snacks that way.
I live in AZ and I can say that I am extreme heat. My range is pretty much right on for the expectations when I drive it as expected. AC doesn't really do anything to the range. However, even in my very moderate winters, the cold weather definitely makes an impact. This should be a FAR lower issue though now that Tesla is releasing cars with heat pumps. I also have co-workers in very cold climates that still say this was the best car they have ever owned.
I absolutely agree on almost any scenario for lack of home charging. One of the biggest benefits of an EV (tesla or any other) is being able to just plug in when you get home and start the day with a full tank. I easily save $1200+ a year from driving my Tesla 3 vs my prev Hybrid Fusion SE (42MPG). I love literally never thinking about my range in my day to day. But if I had to depend on chargign stations, then that would suck right now since they are rare and slow (except superchargers which are rare). However, I do have co-workers who either 1) use the free slow destination charger at our office or 2) superchargers only since they are both free for them. I still think I'd rather pay the $20 or so it costs me on my monthly electric bill (64 miles a day) than to go out of my way to use a supercharger every few days.
tell me why i’m watching this when i’ll never be able to afford one
I haven’t driven road trips through cold weather, but using superchargers is about time to take a rest, buy drinks, restroom and web surf.
I only have the standard battery.
I installed a 16 and 32 amp charger with 200 volt (208v three phase breaker). I can recharge from 20% to 90% in 5.5 hours. But i am an electrician.
I think the autopilot makes tesla stand out for road trips. I havnt used enough to be sure.
I do rent a house. I just put in a NEMA 1450 it cost me about $25.00 and I charge with my mobile charger at 33 mph. That solves most of the problems you mentioned.
The NEMA 1450 is a 220 volt dryer or range outlet.
