I dont qualify for the tax credit, so i decided to save money and purchased a used 2021 model 3 through tesla with enhanced autopilot and only 15k miles all for $30k. This will be my first car that im buying all on my own Edit: The car was supposed to be ready in a week, but when a week came they told me it needed to pass inspection and would take another week. Another week came and it still wasn’t ready, when I was looking at there inventory there was a 2023 model 3 with 4K mile and enhanced autopilot for $2,500 more. Tesla actually refunded me my deposit because the car still didn’t go through inspection so I wouldn’t lose any money and I could get a 2023 model for a little more instead
@@Justin-cx7hz the battery is still covered under warranty and because I bought it through Tesla they extended the warranty as well. The 2021 model still has uss which I wanted more than Tesla vision
I got my model 3 standard range back in Augist and i love it. Only tip Id give for people wanting to buy is get the trim/color and specs you want in the long term. I was very hesitant about getting white seats and a different paint than the free silver kind, looking back I wish I got a black performance model with white seats.
Thanks for the great overview. We got our 2020 model Y without ever seeing it just based on knowing it was built on the model three platform and was easier to get into like model X we’ve got almost 60,000 miles on it. I traveled from San Francisco to over the Rockies up to Canada down to San Diego. Absolutely love it, it’s so comfortable that we named our Serenity
I have a 2022 Model 3. I recently bought an iPhone 15 pro Max. The phone dropped blue tooth connectivity while I was out of town. I called Tesla service for help. I was told by the technician “I spend half my day helping iPhone 15 owners. It’s an iPhone issue, as there is nothing wrong with your car.” Have you heard of this problem? I eventually did get my phone to reconnect. Thanks
Thanks for this video!! I'll be looking to purchase my first car all on my own next year and I keep coming back to Tesla. Looking into the M3 or the Model Y. I'll still look into other EVs but Tesla is at the top of my list
Don't forget that Tesla charges a $250 order fee for every order. In addition, you must pay the taxes, license and other fees through you app before taking delivery. If these fees are not paid promptly, Tesla might still charge you these fees and you will have to wait up to 90-days for reimbursement of the taxes, license, other fees as it may cause you to place another order. Every order will cost you these fees. The $250 fee gets transferred to Tesla no matter what you do and you will never see it again. Tesla will schedule you for a delivery time for which you must be there promptly or earlier or they may cancel your order. I know someone who was late and Tesla cancelled their order and took the fees of more than $3,000. They are still waiting for reimbursement less the $250 order fee. On the subject of range inflation, Tesla is in a class action for inflating their range numbers. It will be interesting to see how much Tesla has to pay their owners for this...
Hey Ryan, can you do a video on the Tesla wrapping service out of the two SoCal service centers? Would love to know the quality of the wraps, the painted PPF in particular. I see many people are angered by the cost but Tesla’s pricing is actually very competitive compared to reputable wrap shops up in NorCal.
Re range, EPA's website and the Monroney label included on the car's window sticker ONLY show COMBINED city/highway range. If you drive mostly highway then your range will obviously be lower than the combined city/hwy range. If you drive mostly highway AND you drive faster than the speed used in EPA's testing, then your range will be even lower. The EPA sets the rules and manufacturers have to follow them. Your range may vary (and typically be lower). IMHO, I think the EPA needs to start including separate range estimates for city and highway instead of only for combined range driving.
Great breakdown! I've been thinking about getting an EV and Tesla's always been on my radar. The Model Y seems like the sweet spot for me - practical, good range, and not crazy expensive. Love how detailed you got with the pricing and different trims. The tax credit info is super helpful too. Quick question - how's the build quality these days? I know Tesla had some QC issues in the past. Appreciate you taking the time to explain all this so clearly!
“All electric cars known to underperform EPA range estimates in real world” very bold statement but I happened to know it’s not true. Have you checked BMW iX EPA estimates and real world range? Or Porsche Tycan or BMW and Mercedes vehicles?
If I buy a Tesla in inventory but it's located far away, can I have it delivered to a closer location, they are not showing the option for having it transported.
I've heard conflicting info on EV tax credit for MY. You say all trims qualify. I've heard from other sources that RWD and LR don't qualify. I guess we will see in 2 weeks.
Thanks Ryan, would you ever consider doing a used Model 3 buyers guide? With prices dropping below the new M3+Tax Credit pricing, they are becoming increasingly enticing. Thanks!
Just don’t. Would you purchase a used old phone ? The range is never the same as new but if you don’t care and drive very little then to each it’s own. You’ll only save like 5k ….
If Tesla doesn't cut prices because of the tax credit issue, it's hard to imagine people buying the M3 and M3LR when the MY and MYLR will be cheaper. I also expect some people to buy the M3P over the M3LR.
We actually have been getting our EPA 270 miles out of our RWD Model 3 for over 7000 miles. It could be that our commute keeps our watts per mile below 200. Does the base model RWD Y have the same battery as the RWD Model 3?
Yeah that must be it. Under 200 implies most likely urban and short commutes. My wife's M3 RWD averages about 217 over the first 5000 miles (primarily urban commute but occasional freeway use at 50+ mph), and she's getting about 267 per charge now. I believe the Y RWD does NOT have the same battery pack (LFP) as the M3 RWD which is a disadvantage since the 260 EPA advertised gets cut down to about 210 usable
Happy 2024. Regarding the Wall Connector, you missed the Universal Wall Connector (essentially the traditional Wall connector with the "magic dock" feature of select Superchargers). It costs at bit more, but has an integrated CCS connector that is securely stored in the unit when not in use.
I have a model 3 LR right now. I'm thinking of upgrading to a Y but i think i want to wait for the refresh. I have also started up my own channel. If you could offer any advice or help i would be very grateful to you.
Quick question Ryan. I noticed in this video the option to subscribe to enhanced auto pilot. Do you know the market (states) where this is available in the US?
I’m not sure where i heard that if model (3/Y) hit a pothole or any kind of pump model (S/X) will avoid that by utilizing the air suspension! Most EV channels were talking about it for a while but then none mentioned it again, I tried to find any info about it but couldn’t find, is this true ?? or I was dreaming for some reason 😅 I assume this was maybe a year ago.
Hey Ryan, can you clarify the adaptive led matrix headlight availability on the model 3? Is it standard on all trims? I can't seem to find reliable information about the topic.
No prize adjustments , No carpool sticker , No 6months of free charging , and maybe half of $7500 credit in 2024. If you got money go ahead and pay more in 2024 for the same car
@@cheesehead2399 the monthly payment would be fairly less with a 7500 point of sale discount rather than a tax credit . My state also doesn’t have carpool stickers , so I’m good waiting and saving
@@cheesehead2399 it literally says it in this video, did you watch it ? It says all model y are unaffected , model 3 since their battery is made in china will decrease
Just a heads up, I think the color choices are based on where you live. The base color that I receive in Massachusetts is stealth gray and I thought the tax credit for the model Y was actually confirmed to be going away.?
Hi Ryan, do you think Tesla will introduce changes in the battery next year? Maybe with the refresh of the Model Y or even with the Model 3 in any moment… Catl for example that is a tesla’s supplier have new architecture of batteries ready (m3p or shenxing) with more range and improved velocity of charge, maybe today dont have enough capacity for Tesla but in 2024… what do you think?
Most likely changes will happen. The only thing we know is that Tesla and electric cars evolve fast now. Resell values will be horrible for a decade due to the fast innovation pace.
Unless they come up with a substitute for oil these cars and everything we have is not going to work you have to lubricate even win generators, almost everything has a gearbox. I differential requires lubrication no matter what kind of vehicle you have even if it’s electric so without a substitute, for oil it’s not going to work so far everything we have come up with is all dependency. So tell they come up with something to substitute for oil we don’t need electric car first we need a substitute for oil
Thanks for all the videos this year and Merry Christmas to you and your family. There were two Cybertrucks spotted driving around downtown Vancouver BC Canada last few nights. We knew there was one at a local Tesla store but surprised to see two...very exciting though.....
I still don't get it. How is Model Y a better car than Model 3? It's more bloated and fat than Model 3. So that's cool. But it completely makes up for it by being slower and more expensive. So what kinds of things are you guys hauling all the time? I would be forever grateful if somebody was kind enough to explain it to me. Maybe there's a big void in my life and I never knew what I was missing. Shrug(?)
I will need a car from June next year. But living in the EU, who will not approve of self-driving until Tesla adds one additonal means for noticing the World around it, buying a new Model Y might need to wait. Especially since I only have money to buy eleven of them today.
Also in europe energy is much more expensive. And for thr same price tag i can get nice bmws or mercedes/audi so im not sure about teslas even though they arw interesting
The model 3 highland probably wont come till 2025. We wait and wait and wait. What the hell is the hold up? Why wont the freemeont factory just stop making the old one and switch over? Tesla website is still making the old one thru end of Feburary.
USA does a ‘good’ job keeping Chinese cars out. In Europe, Chinese cars flow in quickly. I have just sold my model S and in stead bought an Xpeng G9. 5 years ago I bought Tesla on the promise of FSD. By now I have learned that FSD is not going to happen, not even in the States. Musk now agrees that FSD (robotaxi) can only work when the car has general AI and can read signs for real. Tesla makes great cars but continues to overpromise. I for one lost my faith.

Teslas are not the safest cars, as a matter of fact, look up "With 24 accidents per 1,000 drivers during the period from mid-November 2022 to mid-November 2023, Tesla drivers clocked in with the worst accident rate in the U.S., according to a study by Lending Tree".
My understanding is the safety performance being referenced in this video is survivability in an accident, not the number of accidents per 1k that occur. The issue with number of accidents by brand is how do you know cause and effect. Are Tesla drivers just worse drivers, or more aggressive drivers, or maybe repairs cost more on Tesla’s so they get submitted to insurance more often (it’s my understanding the accident rates is as reported by insurance companies).
The company policy is just awful and so is the build quality. 1. Bought a new X. After 2 months the price dropped a lot. 2. First 3 weeks I went to service 6 times to get rid of squeaks in the cabin. New squeaks appear every day. 3. The speaker in the right door is still rattling. Most likely this is the last Tesla I bought.

Is the $7500 tax credit applied before or after sales tax at time of purchase?
Still a long way to go with the prices until these are within the reach of normal people.
Still no silver alloy wheel options for the X and S? The standard black wheels look so trashy, especially at that elevated price point.
