I get so aggravated when I hear nonsense spread by people that not only do not drive or own an EV they don't apparently know anything about the technology itself... Anti EV people just won't accept how wrong they are,,
The anti EV crowd is incredibly dumb. They're obsessed with finding whatever isolated incidents of issues to claim loudly that they are garbage and discourage people from buying them. There are issues that should be improved on but it's a new industry. The cars are for the most part fantastic but of course the public charging network still needs improvement and something should be done to encourage affordable repair options. Although since companies like Tesla seem to use refurbished packs for replacements usually, I don't understand why the cost for replacement isn't about the same as it would cost to fix your original pack since they take it to make more refurbished packs. It seems like it would be acceptable for it to cost a little more but not $9,000 to $15,000. You'd think that they would want to keep the cost down as much as possible to encourage more buyers of the cars. Even if they broke even on the repairs it would likely be worth it to them.

It's crazy how fun these cars are. I bought a model Y and can't stop driving it, talking about it and getting fully into the Tesla community. No problems or maintenance in 3 years and it's saved me about $7k in gas so far. Never getting an ICE car again.
As a Tesla owner, it’s always a joy to learn that Tesla cars can last for so long. Mine is a 2020 model 3. The car interior is a little bit aged still still drives like a beast.
Great video. My 2018 M3 hit 200k miles as well 2 months ago. VIN 56K still rides like new. Payed off and free riding all over the place, love it. Still my original battery as well and degradation is 8%
That's Amazing. I charge about 98% home changing and he does 98% Supercharging!! So much for the SuperCharging degrading the battery. Great Report Joy. 👍
I do 98% Supercharging (because I get it for free). For my 2023 MY, the odometer is at 10k miles driven after 1 year and 8 months of ownership and my battery degradation is currently sitting at 4.5%. Edit: I should add I’ve charged outside of the 20-80% battery range a total of 8 times, which only occurred on road trips, so the battery never sat at under 20 or over 80% for long periods of time.
@@tafl-9198 Nothing major. Half-shaft shudder that many X owners have. So I had that swapped out and installed aftermarket camber arms to keep that issue from coming back as well as get longer life out of tires. My tires last about 40k miles previously. So hopefully will last even longer with the new camber alignment. 12v battery was replaced with ohmmu 12v lithium about 100k miles ago. So we'll see how long it will last. The 2018 X doesn't have high regen. So we use the brakes more. I replaced the front pads at 172k and the rear pads at 198k. However, it didn't need it. I had taken it apart to check and maintain and figured since I have it out...might as well replace. Rotors still looked great.
@@david-iam Please watch "Tesla 12v battery - Proper Care & Feeding" from Ingineerix for further info about why you should throw out your Ohmmu battery asap. key points: low quality parts and assembly no temperature sensoring whatsoever - lets the LV battery charge in freezing conditions when the Ohmmu is fully charged, it completely disconnects itself from the 12V bus which leads to unusual high loads for the car's PCS
Mechanic here. It is a good idea to change your brake fluid. It absorbs moisture (out of the air [vent]) and the inside of your brake lines and calipers and pistons will put and corrode. If you change the fluid, the hydraulics will last much longer.
He's on point with how badly their service center performs. I've wasted 4-5k miles back and forth for the same issue many times. They couldn't care less about how much of the warranty mileage is wasted going back and forth while they "investigate."
I also had bad experiences with Tesla service so I always try to look at DIY solutions first. The Tesla Community is great at identifying common issues and finding solutions without having to visit service center.
@quickpstuts412 Yes!!! It was so frustrating! 70k for a car with software, and I'm being told to check the DIY forums 😭 I could see if they solved the problems the first time, but they pretended not to know about the common issues. Three times, I went back for an upper control arm issue. Five times for a window that kept having water come in. Three times for a seat safety fault. Then, they installed a retrofit option. Weeks later, the car stopped going to sleep-battery warnings and failing to charge. After blaming my home setup, they decided on the 4th trip to leave the car connected overnight. They replaced the car's computer and said it was fixed. It wasn't. I had to go back again, then was told that the trunk strut I installed was the issue. I then showed them that they installed it. They then went back to the drawing board. What they came up with to solve the problem was to disconnect the trunk I paid for lol
@@frederickfitzwilliam5909 That's so frustrating. Glad you got it solved. My nightmare was the rattles. I had about 7 upon delivery in 2020. Two I fixed myself and the other 5 had to be dealt with after having multiple mobile and service visits and telling them to drive on a SPECIFIC STREET to tell them where to go so they could hear the noise. UGH. They had the nerve to say it was because there was no engine and i could hear everything. NO. You didn't properly fit the C panel and secure everything. They need to do better with QC. Fortunately the software and tech has worked flawlessly but the QC was not what I expected for a $60K car.
Honestly, I look at other gas vehicles and say that these cars are so dinosaurs and outdated plus you are stuck with what you bought- no software updates.
@@James-mw7zv let’s agree to disagree have you ever driven an Audi RS6? The build qualities and quality are worlds apart and the sound, vibrations and the feeling (emotion’s) when accelerating is a lot different. A friend of mine has the Plaid super fast acceleration yes, but that’s it. Granted prices are worlds apart as well, whereas the plaid was 145.000 euros as well if I am not mistaken…
@@contact2001we recently switched our 2018 540i for a Tesla model 3 dual motor Highland. We now all fight over it. My wife has driven a new 911 for the last 15 years and just ordered a new model 3 performance. We’ve owned several German performance sedans and suvs over the years and enjoy the Tesla more than all of them. Drive one for a week and you’ll change your mind. Are the ICE performance sedans awesome? Yes. But the Tesla is an amazing car for a fraction of the cost.
well 7 years ago a bought my Used Ford Territory 2 ton SUV 4 Litre straight six 10.7 l per 100 KM For $17.000 have done 300.000 KM $600 a Year Insurance car still drives Beautiful serviced every 10.000 km Love some off the EV but checked Insurance cost for Tesla $2.500 there goes any fuel saving
So that’s 320000 kilometres. Very impressive. You said you weren’t happy with the current value but I wonder how much an ice vehicle would depreciate with 200000 miles and 6 years old? Surely it wouldn’t be too much off that.
You also have to account for the fact 200K miles in an ICE vs an EV is comparing apples to oranges. In an EV, a battery replaces thousands of moving parts that degrade on an ICE vehicle, and when you see very little to no degradation on these batteries in 100K miles, there's no ICE equivalent example.
I totally agree with buying cheap tires. I'm trying the road hugger (discount tire house brand). After 10,000 miles it rides and feels just like all the expensive tires I've had. One set cost me $600 which is half the cost of the major brands. I will buy the same tire again.
@@jamzempire And you probably have a MUCH better tire! There is more to tires than wear and price! Love my Pirelli PZero AS Plus 3 and that is because they are quieter, they ride better and they hold the road much better than OEM (not to mention road huggers!). All for $680 from Tirerack (=Discount Tire). You don't have to believe me on the performance: check Tirerack or Consumer Reports...
Very good video that gives me something to look forward to. I was going to sell my 2023 M3P after one year because I bought the S Plaid after the price came down. But then I learned that I going to lose about $26,000 from what I paid for it new. I decided to give the car to my wife, who drives about 20,000 miles per year. I said, the heck with it, we can drive it for 200,000 miles and not worry about depreciation. Your video made me feel really good about my decision. We are saving close to $3.000 a year on gas from the 2015 BMW X1 s drive, which has 120k on the odometer and was only averaging 21 mpg in Atlanta traffic and I was spending about 2k a year just to keep the Bimmer running.
I'm loving my 2021 Model Y LR AWD. I just hit 21K so it's good to know I can get many more miles out of it. My wife has a 2021 Model 3 LR AWD with 34K miles. My wife's Michelin tires ride noticeably better than my Goodyear tires.
I am looking to buy one that has 150,000 but at in insanely good price and quite well maintained, no damage or bad wear. I think once i get it i will love it for another 75,000 miles atleast.
I forgot that the 12 volt battery died without warning at 46,000 miles at my house, thank goodness for that and Tesla mobile service came out that day and replaced it for free 😊
@@mustangdaddy4125 I made it to 71k on my 2021 M3 when my 12v died also without any warning on my driveway. Out of warranty but only cost me $122 to replace.

My 2019 LR Model 3, bought in September of 2019 has 74k miles, not sure how to see the actual degradation but when fully charged it shows about 280 miles of range instead of 315 which honestly it never really every showed even when new from what I remember. It seems like its been about the same for several years now. My first set of original tires I only got 30k miles out of, my second set I just changed at 73k so much better on the second set and they probably could have gone another 3k miles but they were feeling rough and were noisy. I love mine and will not give it up. Buying a used Tesla is the best bang for your buck ever in my opinion. I know a buy that bought a 2021 with 30k miles on it for under $20k with the tax incentive, what a freaking deal. Its a rear wheel drive lowest model but still, what a deal. Oh they only thing other then tires is I did have to have the 12v battery replaced about 6 months ago and Tesla came to my house and replaced it for $116 total including install. I also replaced the cabin filter. Mine drives like new as well.
2019 TM3P here and the miles max out at 280 instead of 315. It's less about battery degradation and more about recalibrating to my aggressive driving style. I'll check Kwh as recommended.
🎉congrats I just got a 2019 M3LR and it came with the acceleration boost. I haven't drove my benz since lol. These cars are so fun and you feel much safer.
Original owner of Model 3 with vin number 3,120. Tesla shop replaced both upper control arms for $220 a month ago, $20 labor charge. 12v battery replaced over a year ago for $120. Otherwise - maintenance consisted of tire replacement. The car is still a joy to drive, as if new! Unfortunately the 2024 M3P is so compelling, I take delivery in 2 weeks. Probably selling my M3....as stated, a great deal for the future buyer.
Seat sensor was replaced on my model 3 2018 for $300. Tesla service disassembled the bottom driver seat to replace a plate like sensor. No need for a new seat.
Everyone talks about tire wear. My 2018 is still on OEM tires. Iff course its low milage. Yes, my maintenance cost is $126. 12v battery replacement out of warrant y. It's been 6 yrs. I love it!
Thanks, Joy. Good stuff and reassuring. Just bought a used M3 AWD LR. Paid $23,500 before the EV rebates. 57k miles on it. It’s candy apple red and has a roof rack. Feels like a brand new car and drives like a dream…all for the price of a used Toyota Corolla.
@@johnleeinslc My rwd was using nearly as much charge for ac as it was driving. It’s very hot here in Florida. Anyway, as you say the radiator seems designed to catch leaves. It was so dirty. It seems to be doing so much better now that’s it’s at least somewhat clean. It’s still full of tiny rocks and I don’t think there is much I can do about that.
I do contractor work and frequent the Home Depot often… I’ve had 8 screws in tires over 16 months and plugged all of them in place without removing the tire. Now I wish I’d known how to do it on old cars where I had to swap out with a spare. Definitely get more flats than my previous cars but as long as you always have a patch kit and air pump, shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes to be back to moving.
I totally agree with the piece about the 3/Y having the best used car value. These cars offer an insane amount of features and efficiency for the price.
I just bought a 2021 M3 LR. It came with 20k miles and I’m at 27k in 2 months. I do Uber and Lyft and so far, it’s been good. This makes me feel good about it lol. I’m paying $5-8 to charge it each time at a supercharger. That’s nothing compared to gas!
2018 M3LR. I'm at 186k and will hit 200k this year. The degradation was 9-10% since 100k but recently got a little worse. The car lived most of its life on daily supercharging but the last few years have been on a wall connector at home except for road trips. The only issue I had was that the 12v died at around 180k and it took out one of the body control modules. I had the plastic underbelly replaced while I was there too. The total service was about $1300. Other than that, I haven't touched the car besides tires. I put continental tires on it every 50k miles. The insides wear on all 4 tires so I could probably use an alignment and might get more than 50k each set. My lifetime watt hours per mile is around 270.
Oh, I just started getting that seat warning from the middle rear seat. It only started after they did the coax recall. I'm guessing something wasn't connected back correct. It only goes off if someone is sitting in that middle seat.
@@Trust_but_Verify That was my first 12v battery. I have been telling myself for over a year now that I should proactively replace it but kept forgetting. I live in the south and the car has been on trips in negative degree weather and lives through 100 degree days. I can't believe it lasted as long as it did.
I have the same year M3, 83k miles. The tires have to be changed about every 2-3 years. I had a series of screw punctures, but it was because I worked near a construction site. I brought the screws to the construction foreman and they compensated me. My tire shop says don't use the "tire fix" cans because it ruins the tire for repair. I use Continentals, which are creeping up to $200 per. For battery degrade, I am probably nearing that %10 figure.
I always been an Audi lover. My Audi engine died at 69k. It had Oil consumption problem for a year, had to add 1qt of 5w-40 Oil every 400-500 miles (weekly). According to Audi, it’s normal. After all, I Got a 2024 Model Y Performance, loving the FSD and it’s fully charged every morning. And most importantly I’m enjoying not having to carry a quart of Oil in the trunk at all times!
Right?! The day I picked up my Model 3 I poured the last bottle of engine oil down into my BMW 328i, said I’ll never see you again, and never looked back!
I was told Tesla cars wear out tries quick but I had the opposite experience. My 2013 Cadillac ATS wore out tires in 20k miles and they are almost slick by then. My 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR came with those same tires in the same size and they lasted 30k and still had tread just showing a bit or red on the gauge. The difference is the ATS ran them at 36 PSI and the Model 3 runs them at 42 PSI. Could that really make them last 1/3 longer? Both cars wore the tires nice a level with no excessive edge wear but the ATS just ate them up.
@@frankcoffey really has a lot to do with rubber compound, driving conditions, and driving temperature. When I lived in Arizona, tires wore super fast so long hot summer drives can reduce tire life. My model y factory Continentals are wearing quite well at 15k miles. I expect to get at least 40k out of them white how they are looking so far.
@@mylesgray3470 All things were equal here. Same exact model and size of tire, same location, same driver. Maybe it was the suspension design on the ATS or just the PSI.
My 10 yr old model s 60, still on original battery 135k miles. It has degraded battery but it can still hit original range when driving efficiently. 288 wh/mi I still hit 208 miles (originally promised range in 2014) the main thing is It gives accurate readings so if i drive more aggressive i know how much less range i'll get. At worst usually get 80-85% original range if its driving alone. If hills or weather it can be 50-60% range. But downhill recharges and offsets a ton
I actually had the same error on my 2018 M3. Service department ended up replacing a passenger airbag ($1,400), and the issue went away. It was not a seat sensor issue at all in my case
@@seablesh No there is no difference at all. Now the very old model S I’ve heard uses radar as well. I’m not sure what kind of difference that would make. Just buy one lol
I bought a brand new MYP on November 2023. 1st 6 months, I only charged at Tesla SC because it was free. 100% charge would give me 300 miles and 80% charge would give 240 miles. We are in October 2024, 23K miles. Only charging at home for the last 6 months. Now, 100% charge gives me 270 miles and 80% charge gives me 215 miles. Is this the expected battery degradation? Any thing that I could do to get a better mile range?
It’s comforting to know now I can buy a used Tesla with confidence. Do you think you get the best battery longevity by charging it daily at your house or when it runs low and then going to a supercharger.
I only managed to get 70k on my 2018 M3. I haven’t notice any degradation but it is probably in the range of 5%. I’ll probably get a Model Y or X before I worry about degradation.
I’m after a 3 year old model 3 performance with about 40K miles they’re going for around £23,000 here in the UK. I’ll be saying bye to my Porsche sadly but don’t want 3 cars anymore. Thanks for the helpful review
Not surprised, but always good to hear these accounts. Took my 2022 MYP from Oklahoma to Alaska a few weeks after buying. Long but great drive. Of course, no problems.
@16:30 I usually spend 300+ per tire because for me Tires is all about range not road hugging or traction. I want to longest time between replacement so always looking for 80K+ tires...
I get the same message for passenger side intermittently. Some days it beeps other days it doesnt... not sure whats causing it. Tesla wanted 1300 to replace harness and i refused.
I’ve never had a problem with Tesla service. I’ve used Tesla service in many locations, including Burbank, Upland, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, and probably others. I don’t remember. I have never had a problem with them. They have been very helpful, including taking care of me in a pinch when there was an emergency several times.as far as sensors and things that break, this could happen to any car.
I drove a 2020 Tesla model 3 long range few days ago ,it felt like a brand new car,only issue owner has had was front wishbones replaced nothing else,it had FSD just a pity we cant use it yet in the EU,at 26k I think it was priced great.
I just came back from a 1000+ mile road trip. I kept thinking how ironic it would be if the car finally broke down but it drove and charged like a champ. I'm mentally preparing for something to go wrong soon. I'm way overdue.
I got a 2022 M3LR last September 2022. I have 80K miles right now. 90 miles one way for my work commute. Also uses it for weekends and road trips. No issues. 4 tires and windshield washer fluid replacement, 1 alignment, and a couple of rotations. I charge it up to 70% daily and use my house charger. rarely used supercharger (only during road trips) up to 96=97%ish percent supercharger. Minimal battery degradation.5%ish battery degradation. Best car.
My 2018 DMLR Silver Unicorn just hit 116k. Only issue is that my battery cooling fans come in constantly now. Taking it to Tesla this weekend to see what the issue is! But still the best car I ever owned!!
@@TeslaJoyDefinitely don’t see many of this color in the wild! I still get looks and it starts conversations when I meet other drivers are the superchargers!
One thing very few people know is that LFP batteries (rwd models) are good for 8000 cycles as opposed to 1500 for the performance battery. No one talks about this because the tech is still new.
My seat error message was simply that the box the seat controller was in fell out of place. It was just dangling under the seat. It would show the error when someone was in the seat. All I did to remedy it was figure a way to get it to clip back in and stay out. No more error message.
I'm sorry, but seat sensor caution safe to drive? Correct me if i'm wrong, but the seat sensor determines whether the seat is occupied or not, which ties into the airbag system. So if the sensor is not functioning properly and it's not sensing a person on that seat, the airbags won't function properly if and when they are needed, right?
VERY happy with my very basic 2023 SR RWD. Just fits like a very comfortable pair of slippers. Hoping to keep it for a long long time. Thanks for the update!!
I got my 2018 model 3 dual motor 80k mi with acceleration boost, 0-60mph 3.5s, cost me almost nothing to drive past 20k miles. I got it for $25k minus $8k used EV rebate so it came out to be $17k. Best car I’ve had.
I had the same sensor warning on my 2021 Y performance at around 35,000 miles and they fixed it under warranty. Also, I had a back hatch water leak that took six service visits to finally fix when I hit 60,000 miles. All the visits were free😊. I then switched out the 21 inch Uber turbine wheels at 39,000 miles for the 19 inch Gemini wheels and all season continental tires which still look new with 23,000 miles on them 😊. They will last up to around 50,000 miles. No other problems so far😊. Subscribed . PS I will buy used Tesla’s from here on. I paid 61,990 in 2021 and now it’s only worth 23,500 bucks in 3 years 😢
The criticism against the previous Tesla 3 was the suspension comfort and perhaps especially the Performance model. Others also complained that the tires and large rims of the Tesla 3 Performance were not that durable. If that is the problem is solved I do not know
I did replace the 12 V battery. They did it for me but in charge me anything I maintain 42 pounds pressure in the tires myself and I have a model white Y and that was supposed to get 330 miles. I don’t think it ever got that but it’s still gets about 310. I think pick up. I don’t use the brakes unless somebody wants it in front of me suddenly that’s it.
There are boost package for the Tesla 3 long range. And regarding the new Tesla 3, it is apparently even more energy efficient, especially the rear-wheel drive version. And also has double glass both back and front for quieter sounds. And according to reviews, it also has better comfort
When supercharging from 0-100%, did he look at the kWh used to charge the battery or the kWh the battery gained? I know that the efficiency isn't 100%, and some energy will be used in transition from the charging stall to the battery. My 2022 M3LR is at 145k miles, and when I drive from 100-0%, I use up 63 kWh. The original was ~78.7 kWh (220 Wh/mi × 358 mi = 78,760 kWh).
Tesla S probably still uses both sensors and cameras. while It is said that the sensors on the Tesla 3 are disabled and are completely removed on the newer Tesla 3
The difference in tires may be more important on wet surfaces, but there the pattern on the tire itself may be important. Then there are those who talk about rolling resistance. There are thus specific tires for electric cars. There are probably tire reviews
Impressive. Thanks for the video. I've seen Tesla graphs on battery degradation and his experience matches what the graphs show. Initial degradation of 10-15% and then it's pretty much steady state after that.
Wow hello that awesome story I went from 2020 3 to a used 2021 Y the Y I have 32,000 and just had to get a new battery and it’s been 2 weeks and I just got the same battery will not charge message have service I’m a little worried now any advice
you only need to precondition the battery for fast charging. Normal level 2 doesn't need it. Fast charging doesn't actually need it. It just goes faster if it's hot
It’s possible your A/C performance may be degraded due to debris blocking airflow over the condenser. There are videos on youtube how to clean it yourself.
I did replace the 12v battery. It was like $120 or something from Tesla. Maybe 6 sets of tires which cost less than 2 sets of OEM tires:)

I do 98% Supercharging (because I get it for free). For my 2023 MY, the odometer is at 10k miles driven after 1 year and 8 months of ownership and my battery degradation is currently sitting at 4.5%.
Edit: I should add I’ve charged outside of the 20-80% battery range a total of 8 times, which only occurred on road trips, so the battery never sat at under 20 or over 80% for long periods of time.
@@pjdambra while 250,000 watts sounds like a lot of power, divide that by 4,416 cells, about 56 watts each.
I’m about 1k miles away from 200k as well on my 2018 ModelX.
@@david-iam Nice 👍 Any repairs/replacements ?
Congrats!
@@tafl-9198 Nothing major. Half-shaft shudder that many X owners have. So I had that swapped out and installed aftermarket camber arms to keep that issue from coming back as well as get longer life out of tires. My tires last about 40k miles previously. So hopefully will last even longer with the new camber alignment.
12v battery was replaced with ohmmu 12v lithium about 100k miles ago. So we'll see how long it will last.
The 2018 X doesn't have high regen. So we use the brakes more. I replaced the front pads at 172k and the rear pads at 198k. However, it didn't need it. I had taken it apart to check and maintain and figured since I have it out...might as well replace. Rotors still looked great.
@@david-iam thats great 👍💪
@@david-iam
Please watch "Tesla 12v battery - Proper Care & Feeding" from Ingineerix for further info about why you should throw out your Ohmmu battery asap.
key points:
low quality parts and assembly
no temperature sensoring whatsoever - lets the LV battery charge in freezing conditions
when the Ohmmu is fully charged, it completely disconnects itself from the 12V bus which leads to unusual high loads for the car's PCS
Mechanic here. It is a good idea to change your brake fluid. It absorbs moisture (out of the air [vent]) and the inside of your brake lines and calipers and pistons will put and corrode. If you change the fluid, the hydraulics will last much longer.
Cheap insurance; every two years for me
My Y is at 92,000. Looking forward to hitting 200 and 300 too!
Awesome!
He’s right about the used car deals…
Saw Tesla selling used model 3 with acceleration boost 🤗
My 10/2018 built Model 3 LR AWD has over 200,000 miles also. Just tires and air filters 🙌🏼
Wow congrats!
In cabin filter?
@@BrandonAbernathy Yes. Cabin filters.
@@RainbowTy I wouldn't even count those personally. It's not really maintenance as you don't have to replace it for function of the vehicle. Jmo.
He's on point with how badly their service center performs. I've wasted 4-5k miles back and forth for the same issue many times. They couldn't care less about how much of the warranty mileage is wasted going back and forth while they "investigate."
Remember "The best Service is No Service"
I also had bad experiences with Tesla service so I always try to look at DIY solutions first. The Tesla Community is great at identifying common issues and finding solutions without having to visit service center.
Yep. I spent my first year at the service center....At least 8 trips.
@quickpstuts412 Yes!!! It was so frustrating! 70k for a car with software, and I'm being told to check the DIY forums 😭 I could see if they solved the problems the first time, but they pretended not to know about the common issues. Three times, I went back for an upper control arm issue. Five times for a window that kept having water come in. Three times for a seat safety fault. Then, they installed a retrofit option. Weeks later, the car stopped going to sleep-battery warnings and failing to charge. After blaming my home setup, they decided on the 4th trip to leave the car connected overnight. They replaced the car's computer and said it was fixed. It wasn't. I had to go back again, then was told that the trunk strut I installed was the issue. I then showed them that they installed it. They then went back to the drawing board. What they came up with to solve the problem was to disconnect the trunk I paid for lol
@@frederickfitzwilliam5909 That's so frustrating. Glad you got it solved.
My nightmare was the rattles. I had about 7 upon delivery in 2020. Two I fixed myself and the other 5 had to be dealt with after having multiple mobile and service visits and telling them to drive on a SPECIFIC STREET to tell them where to go so they could hear the noise. UGH.
They had the nerve to say it was because there was no engine and i could hear everything. NO. You didn't properly fit the C panel and secure everything.
They need to do better with QC. Fortunately the software and tech has worked flawlessly but the QC was not what I expected for a $60K car.
When you first drive a Tesla, all other gas cars will feel like a pure junk
Honestly, I look at other gas vehicles and say that these cars are so dinosaurs and outdated plus you are stuck with what you bought- no software updates.

@@James-mw7zv let’s agree to disagree have you ever driven an Audi RS6? The build qualities and quality are worlds apart and the sound, vibrations and the feeling (emotion’s) when accelerating is a lot different.

@@contact2001we recently switched our 2018 540i for a Tesla model 3 dual motor Highland. We now all fight over it. My wife has driven a new 911 for the last 15 years and just ordered a new model 3 performance. We’ve owned several German performance sedans and suvs over the years and enjoy the Tesla more than all of them. Drive one for a week and you’ll change your mind. Are the ICE performance sedans awesome? Yes. But the Tesla is an amazing car for a fraction of the cost.
So inspiring to see someone with so many mileage, but so little degradation!
Congrats. Another example of EVs being a better bang for your buck.
well 7 years ago a bought my Used Ford Territory 2 ton SUV 4 Litre straight six 10.7 l per 100 KM For $17.000 have done 300.000 KM

@Karl-Benny that's what holding me owning an EV, the insurance is very expensive it's like 3x to 4x compare to aiCE
@@SpinnerKids mine is no extra shop around like anything else in life
So that’s 320000 kilometres. Very impressive. You said you weren’t happy with the current value but I wonder how much an ice vehicle would depreciate with 200000 miles and 6 years old? Surely it wouldn’t be too much off that.
You also have to account for the fact 200K miles in an ICE vs an EV is comparing apples to oranges. In an EV, a battery replaces thousands of moving parts that degrade on an ICE vehicle, and when you see very little to no degradation on these batteries in 100K miles, there's no ICE equivalent example.
I totally agree with buying cheap tires. I'm trying the road hugger (discount tire house brand). After 10,000 miles it rides and feels just like all the expensive tires I've had. One set cost me $600 which is half the cost of the major brands. I will buy the same tire again.
@@tjxoom1 i should’ve seen this two days ago, i paid 1k for a set of tires 😫
@@jamzempire And you probably have a MUCH better tire! There is more to tires than wear and price! Love my Pirelli PZero AS Plus 3 and that is because they are quieter, they ride better and they hold the road much better than OEM (not to mention road huggers!).

Very good video that gives me something to look forward to. I was going to sell my 2023 M3P after one year because I bought the S Plaid after the price came down. But then I learned that I going to lose about $26,000 from what I paid for it new. I decided to give the car to my wife, who drives about 20,000 miles per year. I said, the heck with it, we can drive it for 200,000 miles and not worry about depreciation. Your video made me feel really good about my decision. We are saving close to $3.000 a year on gas from the 2015 BMW X1 s drive, which has 120k on the odometer and was only averaging 21 mpg in Atlanta traffic and I was spending about 2k a year just to keep the Bimmer running.
I'm loving my 2021 Model Y LR AWD. I just hit 21K so it's good to know I can get many more miles out of it. My wife has a 2021 Model 3 LR AWD with 34K miles. My wife's Michelin tires ride noticeably better than my Goodyear tires.
I’m at 113k 2021 model 3 standard. No issues at all still feels the exact same
My 2019 Performance 3 has 125,000 and is doing great. Almost zero maintenance and still looks great.
I am looking to buy one that has 150,000 but at in insanely good price and quite well maintained, no damage or bad wear. I think once i get it i will love it for another 75,000 miles atleast.
I forgot that the 12 volt battery died without warning at 46,000 miles at my house, thank goodness for that and Tesla mobile service came out that day and replaced it for free 😊
Same!
@@mustangdaddy4125 I made it to 71k on my 2021 M3 when my 12v died also without any warning on my driveway. Out of warranty but only cost me $122 to replace.
@@kevinW826 seriously gonna blame Tesla for their lack of maintenance replacing the 12v car battery? Even after the car warns you!!! Def not the brand, it’s the owner. GTFOH.
You know there’s a manual door handle release in every Tesla, right?
@@kevinW826 There's a manual release in case this happens. I blame them for not knowing how their car works. When you have an electric car you gotta know how it works. What would have been awful is if there had been no release at all. Look...if you don't like Tesla that's your right but this was not on them.
My 2019 LR Model 3, bought in September of 2019 has 74k miles, not sure how to see the actual degradation but when fully charged it shows about 280 miles of range instead of 315 which honestly it never really every showed even when new from what I remember. It seems like its been about the same for several years now. My first set of original tires I only got 30k miles out of, my second set I just changed at 73k so much better on the second set and they probably could have gone another 3k miles but they were feeling rough and were noisy. I love mine and will not give it up. Buying a used Tesla is the best bang for your buck ever in my opinion. I know a buy that bought a 2021 with 30k miles on it for under $20k with the tax incentive, what a freaking deal. Its a rear wheel drive lowest model but still, what a deal. Oh they only thing other then tires is I did have to have the 12v battery replaced about 6 months ago and Tesla came to my house and replaced it for $116 total including install. I also replaced the cabin filter. Mine drives like new as well.
Don’t look at miles it’s not accurate. Do what the video says look at kWh instead.
@@jstar1000 my 2018 also about the same varying between 270 and 290 miles at 100k
2019 TM3P here and the miles max out at 280 instead of 315. It's less about battery degradation and more about recalibrating to my aggressive driving style. I'll check Kwh as recommended.
I got a model 3 2019 used in a very good price with FSD ...loved ...
🎉congrats I just got a 2019 M3LR and it came with the acceleration boost. I haven't drove my benz since lol. These cars are so fun and you feel much safer.
Original owner of Model 3 with vin number 3,120. Tesla shop replaced both upper control arms for $220 a month ago, $20 labor charge. 12v battery replaced over a year ago for $120. Otherwise - maintenance consisted of tire replacement. The car is still a joy to drive, as if new! Unfortunately the 2024 M3P is so compelling, I take delivery in 2 weeks. Probably selling my M3....as stated, a great deal for the future buyer.
Seat sensor was replaced on my model 3 2018 for $300. Tesla service disassembled the bottom driver seat to replace a plate like sensor. No need for a new seat.
Everyone talks about tire wear. My 2018 is still on OEM tires. Iff course its low milage. Yes, my maintenance cost is $126. 12v battery replacement out of warrant y. It's been 6 yrs. I love it!
How many miles?
Thanks, Joy. Good stuff and reassuring. Just bought a used M3 AWD LR. Paid $23,500 before the EV rebates. 57k miles on it. It’s candy apple red and has a roof rack. Feels like a brand new car and drives like a dream…all for the price of a used Toyota Corolla.
Have you cleaned your radiator? Leaves can get in there and stay there. 2018 LRAWD Model 3 with 100.,000 miles.
@@johnleeinslc My rwd was using nearly as much charge for ac as it was driving. It’s very hot here in Florida. Anyway, as you say the radiator seems designed to catch leaves. It was so dirty. It seems to be doing so much better now that’s it’s at least somewhat clean. It’s still full of tiny rocks and I don’t think there is much I can do about that.
Most ICE cars won’t even make it to 200k
Correct, I’ve been through atleast 4 ICE cars ( 3 bought new) and all had major issues around that 120k mark!
I do contractor work and frequent the Home Depot often… I’ve had 8 screws in tires over 16 months and plugged all of them in place without removing the tire. Now I wish I’d known how to do it on old cars where I had to swap out with a spare. Definitely get more flats than my previous cars but as long as you always have a patch kit and air pump, shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes to be back to moving.
Glad you like it as new. In my 55k Y, it still feels like new. I feel like I am going in a brand new car everyday.
I totally agree with the piece about the 3/Y having the best used car value. These cars offer an insane amount of features and efficiency for the price.
I just bought a 2021 M3 LR. It came with 20k miles and I’m at 27k in 2 months. I do Uber and Lyft and so far, it’s been good. This makes me feel good about it lol. I’m paying $5-8 to charge it each time at a supercharger. That’s nothing compared to gas!
2018 M3LR. I'm at 186k and will hit 200k this year. The degradation was 9-10% since 100k but recently got a little worse. The car lived most of its life on daily supercharging but the last few years have been on a wall connector at home except for road trips. The only issue I had was that the 12v died at around 180k and it took out one of the body control modules. I had the plastic underbelly replaced while I was there too. The total service was about $1300. Other than that, I haven't touched the car besides tires. I put continental tires on it every 50k miles. The insides wear on all 4 tires so I could probably use an alignment and might get more than 50k each set. My lifetime watt hours per mile is around 270.
Oh, I just started getting that seat warning from the middle rear seat. It only started after they did the coax recall. I'm guessing something wasn't connected back correct. It only goes off if someone is sitting in that middle seat.
Amazing!
@@Trust_but_Verify That was my first 12v battery. I have been telling myself for over a year now that I should proactively replace it but kept forgetting. I live in the south and the car has been on trips in negative degree weather and lives through 100 degree days. I can't believe it lasted as long as it did.
I have the same year M3, 83k miles. The tires have to be changed about every 2-3 years. I had a series of screw punctures, but it was because I worked near a construction site. I brought the screws to the construction foreman and they compensated me. My tire shop says don't use the "tire fix" cans because it ruins the tire for repair. I use Continentals, which are creeping up to $200 per. For battery degrade, I am probably nearing that %10 figure.
I always been an Audi lover. My Audi engine died at 69k. It had Oil consumption problem for a year, had to add 1qt of 5w-40 Oil every 400-500 miles (weekly). According to Audi, it’s normal. After all, I Got a 2024 Model Y Performance, loving the FSD and it’s fully charged every morning. And most importantly I’m enjoying not having to carry a quart of Oil in the trunk at all times!
Right?! The day I picked up my Model 3 I poured the last bottle of engine oil down into my BMW 328i, said I’ll never see you again, and never looked back!
I was told Tesla cars wear out tries quick but I had the opposite experience. My 2013 Cadillac ATS wore out tires in 20k miles and they are almost slick by then. My 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR came with those same tires in the same size and they lasted 30k and still had tread just showing a bit or red on the gauge. The difference is the ATS ran them at 36 PSI and the Model 3 runs them at 42 PSI. Could that really make them last 1/3 longer? Both cars wore the tires nice a level with no excessive edge wear but the ATS just ate them up.
@@frankcoffey really has a lot to do with rubber compound, driving conditions, and driving temperature. When I lived in Arizona, tires wore super fast so long hot summer drives can reduce tire life. My model y factory Continentals are wearing quite well at 15k miles. I expect to get at least 40k out of them white how they are looking so far.
@@mylesgray3470 All things were equal here. Same exact model and size of tire, same location, same driver. Maybe it was the suspension design on the ATS or just the PSI.
@@frankcoffey different weight of cars??
@@edsmale The ATS was 3,700 LB and the Model 3 is 4,250.
@frankcoffey maybe the ATS had weird camber or something, that's all I can think of
My 10 yr old model s 60, still on original battery 135k miles. It has degraded battery but it can still hit original range when driving efficiently. 288 wh/mi I still hit 208 miles (originally promised range in 2014) the main thing is It gives accurate readings so if i drive more aggressive i know how much less range i'll get. At worst usually get 80-85% original range if its driving alone. If hills or weather it can be 50-60% range. But downhill recharges and offsets a ton
This is amazing! I can't believe how good that Model 3 Performance drives after 200k miles! 😮😮😮
I got my tesla 3 weeks ago and cant wait for 5 year milestone without any major issues
I actually had the same error on my 2018 M3. Service department ended up replacing a passenger airbag ($1,400), and the issue went away. It was not a seat sensor issue at all in my case
I’m thinking about used TESLA, question: for FSD, any difference between new car and used ones? Buy certify used from Tesla or other dealer ok?
@@seablesh No there is no difference at all. Now the very old model S I’ve heard uses radar as well. I’m not sure what kind of difference that would make. Just buy one lol
I bought a brand new MYP on November 2023. 1st 6 months, I only charged at Tesla SC because it was free. 100% charge would give me 300 miles and 80% charge would give 240 miles. We are in October 2024, 23K miles. Only charging at home for the last 6 months. Now, 100% charge gives me 270 miles and 80% charge gives me 215 miles. Is this the expected battery degradation? Any thing that I could do to get a better mile range?
Hi please watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/E-O5ul-tBB8/v-deo.htmlsi=JNKqvDDzpZ8ISnhU
It’s comforting to know now I can buy a used Tesla with confidence. Do you think you get the best battery longevity by charging it daily at your house or when it runs low and then going to a supercharger.
I only managed to get 70k on my 2018 M3. I haven’t notice any degradation but it is probably in the range of 5%. I’ll probably get a Model Y or X before I worry about degradation.
Great video for people who want to buy a 'high mileage' Tesla. You would be writing off an ICE saloon at this mileage, thank you
if your battery is half or 3/4 do you charge your battery or do you wait till its super low?
I drain it down to 10%-20% before charging up to 90%
I’m after a 3 year old model 3 performance with about 40K miles they’re going for around £23,000 here in the UK. I’ll be saying bye to my Porsche sadly but don’t want 3 cars anymore. Thanks for the helpful review
Not surprised, but always good to hear these accounts.
Took my 2022 MYP from Oklahoma to Alaska a few weeks after buying. Long but great drive. Of course, no problems.
@16:30 I usually spend 300+ per tire because for me Tires is all about range not road hugging or traction. I want to longest time between replacement so always looking for 80K+ tires...
I get the same message for passenger side intermittently. Some days it beeps other days it doesnt... not sure whats causing it. Tesla wanted 1300 to replace harness and i refused.
I drive less than 4000 miles a year, I think I'm getting a Tesla 3! thanks for the info.
I’ve never had a problem with Tesla service. I’ve used Tesla service in many locations, including Burbank, Upland, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, and probably others. I don’t remember. I have never had a problem with them. They have been very helpful, including taking care of me in a pinch when there was an emergency several times.as far as sensors and things that break, this could happen to any car.
I drove a 2020 Tesla model 3 long range few days ago ,it felt like a brand new car,only issue owner has had was front wishbones replaced nothing else,it had FSD just a pity we cant use it yet in the EU,at 26k I think it was priced great.
This guy has a good mindset. Killer efficiency especially for a 19 inch wheels
I just came back from a 1000+ mile road trip. I kept thinking how ironic it would be if the car finally broke down but it drove and charged like a champ. I'm mentally preparing for something to go wrong soon. I'm way overdue.
Hahahaha!
I got a 2022 M3LR last September 2022. I have 80K miles right now. 90 miles one way for my work commute. Also uses it for weekends and road trips. No issues. 4 tires and windshield washer fluid replacement, 1 alignment, and a couple of rotations. I charge it up to 70% daily and use my house charger. rarely used supercharger (only during road trips) up to 96=97%ish percent supercharger. Minimal battery degradation.5%ish battery degradation. Best car.
Excellent interview. Someone after my own heart... Trying to be smart with their money!
I just bought myself a model y 24 RWD LR 4 months ago currently at 20K miles
My 2018 DMLR Silver Unicorn just hit 116k. Only issue is that my battery cooling fans come in constantly now. Taking it to Tesla this weekend to see what the issue is! But still the best car I ever owned!!

Was the squeak from the front or rear? Mine is in the rear. How was it repaired and cost?
Please watch the video I made about this earlier this year. Thanks.
Well, ALL Tesla from 2021, I think are built to last 500k miles (drive train and battery).
Thanks for the interview. What cheap brand tires did you put on during 20 nails? And where did u buy them? Thanks
I am definitely getting a Tesla! Thank you for sharing your experience. Especially discussing your experience with teslas battery degradation.
One thing very few people know is that LFP batteries (rwd models) are good for 8000 cycles as opposed to 1500 for the performance battery. No one talks about this because the tech is still new.
How many sets of tires have you gone through?
The alcantara definitely doesn't stay fluffy like new but it's holding up ok. I'd probably recommend the nappa leather option.
My seat error message was simply that the box the seat controller was in fell out of place. It was just dangling under the seat. It would show the error when someone was in the seat. All I did to remedy it was figure a way to get it to clip back in and stay out. No more error message.
Question…
What about flushing out the coolant from the battery pack? Does this need to be done at some point via Tesla services?
Always enjoy your videos as always!
Thank you!
I'm sorry, but seat sensor caution safe to drive? Correct me if i'm wrong, but the seat sensor determines whether the seat is occupied or not, which ties into the airbag system. So if the sensor is not functioning properly and it's not sensing a person on that seat, the airbags won't function properly if and when they are needed, right?
No it’s not that sensor.
VERY happy with my very basic 2023 SR RWD. Just fits like a very comfortable pair of slippers. Hoping to keep it for a long long time. Thanks for the update!!
I got my 2018 model 3 dual motor 80k mi with acceleration boost, 0-60mph 3.5s, cost me almost nothing to drive past 20k miles. I got it for $25k minus $8k used EV rebate so it came out to be $17k. Best car I’ve had.
I have 204,xxx miles on my 2020 model 3 AWD long range. I do have some battery degradation. Cold weather is the biggest drain on my watt hours.
I had the same sensor warning on my 2021 Y performance at around 35,000 miles and they fixed it under warranty. Also, I had a back hatch water leak that took six service visits to finally fix when I hit 60,000 miles. All the visits were free😊. I then switched out the 21 inch Uber turbine wheels at 39,000 miles for the 19 inch Gemini wheels and all season continental tires which still look new with 23,000 miles on them 😊. They will last up to around 50,000 miles. No other problems so far😊. Subscribed . PS I will buy used Tesla’s from here on. I paid 61,990 in 2021 and now it’s only worth 23,500 bucks in 3 years 😢
I am about 3k away from 100k on my 2018. Great video
Congrats!
The criticism against the previous Tesla 3 was the suspension comfort and perhaps especially the Performance model. Others also complained that the tires and large rims of the Tesla 3 Performance were not that durable. If that is the problem is solved I do not know
I did replace the 12 V battery. They did it for me but in charge me anything I maintain 42 pounds pressure in the tires myself and I have a model white
Y and that was supposed to get 330 miles. I don’t think it ever got that but it’s still gets about 310. I think pick up. I don’t use the brakes unless somebody wants it in front of me suddenly that’s it.
There are boost package for the Tesla 3 long range. And regarding the new Tesla 3, it is apparently even more energy efficient, especially the rear-wheel drive version. And also has double glass both back and front for quieter sounds. And according to reviews, it also has better comfort
Tesla engineers Rock!!!!!🎉
I think I need a AC service check too mine is like what you saying Joy but when I was in the loner model 3 the air is was very cold
Your friend use supercharger almost 100% of the time. What percentage does he charge it to; 80% or 90%?
100k miles on my model Y.ac just stopped working $3500 to fix it.
I’m at 100k on my OG battery. Just tire changes. Electric vehicles FTW. Period. Polestar, Tesla, RIVIAN doesn’t matter.
How about NVH? My 22 MYP rattles like crazy
Only thing about used is the out of warranty repairs can be a lot
When supercharging from 0-100%, did he look at the kWh used to charge the battery or the kWh the battery gained? I know that the efficiency isn't 100%, and some energy will be used in transition from the charging stall to the battery. My 2022 M3LR is at 145k miles, and when I drive from 100-0%, I use up 63 kWh. The original was ~78.7 kWh (220 Wh/mi × 358 mi = 78,760 kWh).
Tesla S probably still uses both sensors and cameras. while It is said that the sensors on the Tesla 3 are disabled and are completely removed on the newer Tesla 3
I had the same seat issue. They replaced the whole seat right before the warranty ended. As many people say it should of been a recall
@@jaykid007 did they say your airbags were disabled with the bad sensor?
@@golfish8589I didn’t see that or they didn’t tell me. They tried to clear it once and then it came back then replaced the seat
The difference in tires may be more important on wet surfaces, but there the pattern on the tire itself may be important. Then there are those who talk about rolling resistance. There are thus specific tires for electric cars. There are probably tire reviews
I've tried everything to fix the seat error and no luck. Don't see any frayed wires etc. Very frustrating. Even parts3express can't fix it.
Impressive. Thanks for the video. I've seen Tesla graphs on battery degradation and his experience matches what the graphs show. Initial degradation of 10-15% and then it's pretty much steady state after that.
