I've considered getting a Tesla for years, but since owning a Lexus Hybrid I don't think I want an EV anymore. In 5 years I've paid $0 in repairs and the maintenance is cheap because I change my own oil, changed the brakes once and tires.
2023 model 3 here and I love mine! It’s definitely not a car for everyone from the simplicity to the way you have to charge it or distance of drive you might need to do but for me and my own lifestyle it works perfectly. Would love to have been able to trade it in clean and upgrade to the latest redesigned 2024 model but the constant price fluctuation really was my one biggest issue with Tesla. Other than that I’m basically a Tesla owner for a long time.
350k household income in NJ and we have a model Y LR as our only car. Cash upfront, no financial stress, debt free. I think a lot of these people are driving more than they can afford tbh.
Nah. Teslas drivetrain does not require traditional oil changes like ICE cars meaning no need to change the gear oil at specific intervals. Good try though.
Tesla broke my heart when I bought a model y for 70k, then the next week they lowered the prices by 15-20k. I could’ve bought another car like a Camry or even saved up for another model 3 or y if I waited
I would've been pissed off if this happened to me. The fact that Tesla did this was unheard of in the industry. They basically over inflated the value of their cars for the longest time. I understand that it was for profit but they really screw their long time customers just so they could gain new ones. They should've prorated a pay back program for any customers that purchased their Tesla for the last 3 years or so. Like if you had just gotten it before the price drop and lost $13K or so then you should have at least gotten $10K back. Something granular and not just a straight deep drop like that.
@@volcalstone When you have higher demand than actual supply capabilities, well, you kind of need to increase prices, which made Tesla some buck which allows them to keep expanding. Tho lowering car prices by this much in one go is huge blow for those who got their cars one week before it.
Tesla covers all replacements including battery up to 120k miles or 10 years and even after warranty 90 percent of teslas battery's last upwards of 200k miles and even higher. On top of all that aftermarket refurbished batteries go for 3 to 4k
So out of warranty battery varies for the Model. Model 3 is around 12-16k. Model Y is 14-15k, Model S is 15-20k, While model X is 17k-20k. Ive only heard of 20k battery replacements though if the battery is damaged from road debris, like the coolant line getting sliced. But you have a warranty for 10 years, so you should be able to save up the money from the money saved by not buying gas in the 10 year span.
Ive been a independent licensed used car dealer for 19 years and I vowed I would never buy a Tesla for myself...Well, after selling several of them and spending a little time behind the wheel, I ended up buying myself a one year old Model Y long range and after owning it for almost a year now, I can say without a doubt, this is the best decision ive ever made in buying a car for my own personal use. In fact, I ordered a new Cybertruck!!...Someone mentioned BMW, and all I can say is BMW is about the biggest POS car on the planet along with Dodge Chargers and Challengers that you see a different one driving down the street every 30 seconds.
Sounds like a huge lie 😂.. plus taxes and fees AND monthly interest on your loan, you're actually paying around $40k for the cheapest base model Tesla 😂😂
@znismo1 41k included the taxes and fees. But, you're right, I was wrong. I actually received $10,500 in rebates... California had a $7,500 rebate for electric cars, and San Joaquin County residents received an additional $3,000k rebate... I actually paid $30,500 for a base model, Tesla.....
We would have gotten a better idea if he asked the important questions that makes a monthly payment. Such as, money down, apr percentage, and how many months/years financed. Hopefully on the next video
The one thing I don't like is closing the back doors on my 2021 Model 3. If you don't do it with a little authority it won't close properly. Other than that I've been pretty happy with it.
Spot on, like Chase said... It rattles a Lot. Interior build quality is lacking terribly. My ICE car, there's No interior rattling at all. But, using my Tesla for local shorter commuting, it's fine. Long road trips, I'll stick with my Toyota Camry.
We were at an auto show with 250 vehicles +. We test drove a jeep and a model y. The y rattled, was uncomfortable in the back, and everything felt cheaper and worse built than cars of the same price. I’d rather have a Prius, Kia k5, Camry, crown, older Lexus, etc.
Taking delivery of the updated model 3 in a few days. I already have a Hyundai Elantra that’s paid off, which I will keep. That being said, I really wanted to get a Tesla so I’m leasing one. $3000 for upfront fees and it’s a 3 year lease. 15k mileage limit and $560 per month. As someone who has been spending over 200$ a month, I’m looking forward to seeing how it functions/serves as a commuter car.
@@sdot5389they’re at a charging station. I didn’t think they’re charging at home. Of course home charging and solar panels would make any electric vehicle worth it
I've watched about 30 videos like this and I'm still not convinced. Up-front cost, time to re-charge the battery and the overall cost of battery replacement are the major roadblocks that would keep me from having a Tesla.
What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.
If the market has taught me anything, it's that it always recovers, but I can't seem to focus on the long run when major factors like my retirement and my reserve are wreaking havoc on inflation. I require a solid data trajectory and solution as soon as possible.

I just got my used 2020 Tesla M3 long range 10 days ago, no money down, no trade in at $479/mo. I found a dealership that participated in the EV tax credit at point of sale (BMW of monrovia); not all do so definitely call to ask ahead of time. So far i really like it and have easily adapted to it. The superchargers get pretty full in LA but I just go early and I don’t have an issue. My last supercharge cost me $12.25. I will say having an at home charger makes a huge difference but when the vehicle is on sentry mode, it drains the battery so much faster 😅 learning how to sustain some of the battery life.
Definitely best car ever. 2021 Model Y LR. Pros: All the tech, autopilot, charging at home (cost me $25/month for unlimited home charging), maintenance, safety Cons: Some things are not that great, handles are hard to open with a baby in hand. Autopilot can be lackluster on certain roads (not highway) in Texas. Bought at 39k a year ago to replace a Mercedes GL, put $10k down, roughly $500 for the monthly payment, should be paid off this year. Software Engineer in a MCOL area.
I have a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range (W/Accelerated Boost Upgrade $2,000). I pay $330 a month with a $9k Downpayment and a 4.99% Interest rate, and for insurance, it's around $250 a month for full coverage with AAA. The G80 M3 and This tesla are the best cars ever.
I like cars that I can pull into a shop when they need fixed. The person fixing it can tell you what’s wrong by the noises heard while you were driving in because he’s been working on cars since he was 2 with no schooling
You should go to a cold climate area and ask the same questions. I would get a tesla today if I didn't live in Michigan. I find it hard to get clear answers on range loss during my states colder months
Don’t forget about the elevated insurance cost of approximately 30% because of the battery placement and likelihood of I higher repair bill from a average accident
False !!! Read up Tesla way less likely crash . Crash test shows most cars total people dead. The battery pack helps stiffen car or truck. Walk away from crashes other auto you will not. Plus I had 800 payment on my Tahoe in 2001. It was hunk crap. And Tesla will sell you insurance way cheaper. Read up on
That's true but you have to consider some of those people are the demographic that regularly charge at home and some of them are just commuting a long distance and others are on road trips since Los Angeles is a popular destination. typically see more model 3s and y's than model x's and s's because most of those owners of the expensive models charge at home
Recently bought a used M3.. researched charging rates.. i only charge at home, but it's my commuter. Cost is only .10 per kwh.. public charging in Arizona ranges from .13 (rare) up to almost .50. imagine for gas, people paying up to 4x. Why are some EV owners willing to pay that premium? If I didn't have cheap home pricing, then I probably wouldn't have bought an EV.
2024 MYLR $44k. I was initially going to pay all cash but decided to do half so a monthly payment of $410. I am “investing” that half and bought NVDA stock a couple months ago. I’ll be paying off the loan next month with $33k extra profit above that. I’ve been retired since age 39. My first Tesla but I absolutely love it.
Dude in the red plaid pants is NOT going to med school. Anyone in med school knows you don’t have time for a marketing job and to drive for Uber. Med school is a 12+ hour per day commitment, 6 or 7 days per week.
For those complaining in the comment. If you have a budget of 25k and decide to go buy a car valued at 60k to avoid oil changes, then it doesn’t make sense. But if you are gonna buy a ICE car valued at 60k you might as well get the Tesla because you’d definitely save on maintenance. I can boldly say that’s a fact.
$135 to fill up a BMW SUV? I pay $40 to fill up my Kia Forte - does the BMW have a 30+ gallon gas tank?? One thing you don't like about your Tesla Y? The streak of bird poop below the door handle
I had a uber driver pick me up in a Tesla It felt like it was made cheap inside , made alot of squeaky noise. I test drive a Ford Mach-E and it was fun driving it from Los Angeles to Vegas and back but finding a charger for Ford was horrible. The problem is, I feel like after 5yrs the EV is deferring your fuel cost. Do you replace the Battery for 10k to 20k or trade in your ride and have endless payments for the rest of your life. I like to see my rides last at least 15yrs before buying new, wanna enjoy at least 8yrs no car payments I can't see myself waiting hrs in line for a 80% charge, 1hr charge, freaking out about the miles left. I'm sticking to gas
Best car ever! 2022 Model Y LR here. My favorite things are Auto Pilot, Regen Braking. I pay $1,045/mo. Got 40K left to payoff. Total cost to finance was 76K @ 2.6% APR. Put 20k down of pure earnings from $TSLA. Biggest things I don’t like: Glass roof, rear-view mirror rattles and I believe Tesla has defrauded the consumers for those who overpaid on FSD and I wish they’d walk it back and issue partial refunds without a class action lawsuit. I make 125K and I’m a safety inspector/technician.
People don’t see if they can afford the car, but only if they can afford the monthly payment. I have never had a financed car because I don’t buy what I cannot afford
Why do non-Tesla owners always make the point about the battery? Most Tesla owners will never have to buy a battery. By the time that would be needed they’ll be onto their next car. Not to mention it’s covered for 10 years.

We have a really nice Honda Civic. Paid £5000 cash. Does everything, super practical, 50 mpg, 400+ miles on a tank. I couldn't imagine burning a 10 grand deposit plus at least 500 a month on a fucking car. There's so many better ways to spend your money than cars.
50mpg on a honda civic? in the US car prices are inflated, for 5k you would be lucky to find a 2005 honda civic with less than 200k miles on the odometer for 5000. New honda civics are going for $30000 and 4 year old used ones for like $22000, so compared to a tesla its not that much of a difference in price (2k ?) and you're getting a way nicer car plus no gas and less maintenance costs.
To the gentleman currently in medical school. Some disappointing news for you. After medical school, unfortunately there's residency where we get the lovely experience of making around 60,000 a year while working 80 hours a week for 3 years at least. You most certainly will not be making $100,000 a year in residency Once you're done with residency, you will make no less than $250,000 a year Even as an outpatient primary care. Maybe pediatric get paid closer to lower $200. My first year out of medical school I made 52,000 then 56 and 57,000 a yr. My first year out of residency I made 350,000 as a primary care physician These are the true numbers
About 30 min to supercharge About 8-10 hours/overnight level 1 charging( at home) If you have a level two outlet accesible (washer dryer plug) it takes about half the time a level one would take (I have a model 3)
I kind of thought that. I don't doubt that he is in med school but I doubt he's doing all that side stuff. He's just a Tesla lover or just an electric car vehicle lover.

How come you had to change the brakes? My Prius has 240k miles and the brakes are original and in great shape
I used to think like that but after owning my '25 Model 3 long range AWD I dont wanna go back to ICE ever in my life.
2023 model 3 here and I love mine! It’s definitely not a car for everyone from the simplicity to the way you have to charge it or distance of drive you might need to do but for me and my own lifestyle it works perfectly. Would love to have been able to trade it in clean and upgrade to the latest redesigned 2024 model but the constant price fluctuation really was my one biggest issue with Tesla. Other than that I’m basically a Tesla owner for a long time.
350k household income in NJ and we have a model Y LR as our only car. Cash upfront, no financial stress, debt free. I think a lot of these people are driving more than they can afford tbh.
Same. Paid cash for mine in 2020. I keep cars a long time. Had my previous Lexus for 13 years.
Or you’re just an extra cheap Asian like 90% my family
Well you don’t kno there household incomes cuz they only said what they made
$35 an hr with a $700/month payment haha
@@mattrandall1808exactly. I had to pause and do the math to make sure I heard it right 😂 😂
Should have asked how much the insurance is monthly.
You should ask with insurance. Since Tesla insurance is much higher then normal car.
Dont forget to do maintenance on your gear pil change on that Tesla. Still uses a lubricant for the gears
Nah. Teslas drivetrain does not require traditional oil changes like ICE cars meaning no need to change the gear oil at specific intervals. Good try though.
Tesla broke my heart when I bought a model y for 70k, then the next week they lowered the prices by 15-20k. I could’ve bought another car like a Camry or even saved up for another model 3 or y if I waited
true!
Is what it is. Tesla is about making money and demand was nuts at that point
I would've been pissed off if this happened to me. The fact that Tesla did this was unheard of in the industry. They basically over inflated the value of their cars for the longest time. I understand that it was for profit but they really screw their long time customers just so they could gain new ones.
They should've prorated a pay back program for any customers that purchased their Tesla for the last 3 years or so. Like if you had just gotten it before the price drop and lost $13K or so then you should have at least gotten $10K back. Something granular and not just a straight deep drop like that.
And yet, so many people love that Tesla experience. LOL
@@volcalstone
When you have higher demand than actual supply capabilities, well, you kind of need to increase prices, which made Tesla some buck which allows them to keep expanding.
Tho lowering car prices by this much in one go is huge blow for those who got their cars one week before it.
When the battery 🔋 brakes down, 15k 20k?
Tesla covers all replacements including battery up to 120k miles or 10 years and even after warranty 90 percent of teslas battery's last upwards of 200k miles and even higher. On top of all that aftermarket refurbished batteries go for 3 to 4k
batteries go for 3 to 4k......LET THAT SINK IN.
So out of warranty battery varies for the Model. Model 3 is around 12-16k. Model Y is 14-15k, Model S is 15-20k, While model X is 17k-20k. Ive only heard of 20k battery replacements though if the battery is damaged from road debris, like the coolant line getting sliced. But you have a warranty for 10 years, so you should be able to save up the money from the money saved by not buying gas in the 10 year span.
@Chris.Lester bruh that not really a flex. That is still REALLY expensive
Most Tesla owners will never have to replace a battery.
Ive been a independent licensed used car dealer for 19 years and I vowed I would never buy a Tesla for myself...Well, after selling several of them and spending a little time behind the wheel, I ended up buying myself a one year old Model Y long range and after owning it for almost a year now, I can say without a doubt, this is the best decision ive ever made in buying a car for my own personal use. In fact, I ordered a new Cybertruck!!...Someone mentioned BMW, and all I can say is BMW is about the biggest POS car on the planet along with Dodge Chargers and Challengers that you see a different one driving down the street every 30 seconds.
He said it rattles a lot but he got the body of the car sitting on the wheels 🤣🤣
Model y dude was chill and honest
Higher insurance, replacing tires by 25k miles, range anxiety, long waiting while charging the car and finally the car will be obsolete one day soon.
Purchased my Model 3 in 2020 for $41k and received $7,500 in rebates. In the end, i paid $33,500 out the door.
Sounds like a huge lie 😂.. plus taxes and fees AND monthly interest on your loan, you're actually paying around $40k for the cheapest base model Tesla 😂😂
@znismo1 41k included the taxes and fees. But, you're right, I was wrong. I actually received $10,500 in rebates... California had a $7,500 rebate for electric cars, and San Joaquin County residents received an additional $3,000k rebate... I actually paid $30,500 for a base model, Tesla.....
We would have gotten a better idea if he asked the important questions that makes a monthly payment. Such as, money down, apr percentage, and how many months/years financed. Hopefully on the next video
That has nothing to do with the car itself, it has something to do with your credit and with the APR is. Apples and oranges.
The one thing I don't like is closing the back doors on my 2021 Model 3. If you don't do it with a little authority it won't close properly. Other than that I've been pretty happy with it.
True. My elderly mother in law often doesn’t close the door fully.
Spot on, like Chase said... It rattles a Lot. Interior build quality is lacking terribly. My ICE car, there's No interior rattling at all. But, using my Tesla for local shorter commuting, it's fine. Long road trips, I'll stick with my Toyota Camry.
haha
We were at an auto show with 250 vehicles +. We test drove a jeep and a model y. The y rattled, was uncomfortable in the back, and everything felt cheaper and worse built than cars of the same price. I’d rather have a Prius, Kia k5, Camry, crown, older Lexus, etc.
Taking delivery of the updated model 3 in a few days. I already have a Hyundai Elantra that’s paid off, which I will keep. That being said, I really wanted to get a Tesla so I’m leasing one. $3000 for upfront fees and it’s a 3 year lease. 15k mileage limit and $560 per month. As someone who has been spending over 200$ a month, I’m looking forward to seeing how it functions/serves as a commuter car.
No one mentioned the cost of charging...
I have an EV…not a Tesla though. To charge from 0 to 100% at home it costs me less than $5.
@@sdot5389they’re at a charging station. I didn’t think they’re charging at home. Of course home charging and solar panels would make any electric vehicle worth it
I've watched about 30 videos like this and I'm still not convinced. Up-front cost, time to re-charge the battery and the overall cost of battery replacement are the major roadblocks that would keep me from having a Tesla.
Spending $600 a month, for a $60,000 ev just to avoid oil change. Big brain move 😅
Ask if they have FSD or any accessories
What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.
If the market has taught me anything, it's that it always recovers, but I can't seem to focus on the long run when major factors like my retirement and my reserve are wreaking havoc on inflation. I require a solid data trajectory and solution as soon as possible.
@@JasonsHortons I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful.

Guy number 1 was paying about 300 a month in gas ( assuming he fills up once a week on avg ) but has a 555 car payment plus put 10k down lol
Do the batteries last forever in the Teslas?
They last about as long as an engine in an ice vehicle.
I just got my used 2020 Tesla M3 long range 10 days ago, no money down, no trade in at $479/mo. I found a dealership that participated in the EV tax credit at point of sale (BMW of monrovia); not all do so definitely call to ask ahead of time. So far i really like it and have easily adapted to it. The superchargers get pretty full in LA but I just go early and I don’t have an issue. My last supercharge cost me $12.25. I will say having an at home charger makes a huge difference but when the vehicle is on sentry mode, it drains the battery so much faster 😅 learning how to sustain some of the battery life.
Definitely best car ever. 2021 Model Y LR.
Pros: All the tech, autopilot, charging at home (cost me $25/month for unlimited home charging), maintenance, safety
Cons: Some things are not that great, handles are hard to open with a baby in hand. Autopilot can be lackluster on certain roads (not highway) in Texas.
Bought at 39k a year ago to replace a Mercedes GL, put $10k down, roughly $500 for the monthly payment, should be paid off this year.
Software Engineer in a MCOL area.
great car!
I have a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range (W/Accelerated Boost Upgrade $2,000). I pay $330 a month with a $9k Downpayment and a 4.99% Interest rate, and for insurance, it's around $250 a month for full coverage with AAA. The G80 M3 and This tesla are the best cars ever.
250 for insurance lol???
I like cars that I can pull into a shop when they need fixed. The person fixing it can tell you what’s wrong by the noises heard while you were driving in because he’s been working on cars since he was 2 with no schooling
I like cars that don't need fixed. (to be fair I never had to fix my Mazda 5, it was a good car, but my MY is a different animal)
Big dude with the red Tesla really didn’t wanna reveal how much he made lol
You should go to a cold climate area and ask the same questions. I would get a tesla today if I didn't live in Michigan. I find it hard to get clear answers on range loss during my states colder months
Now I understand why most doordashers are driving a Tesla... the crazy monthly payments
Nah uber rents them for the low.
The average monthly payment is $550 -1k not including insurance
Don’t forget about the elevated insurance cost of approximately 30% because of the battery placement and likelihood of I higher repair bill from a average accident
False !!! Read up Tesla way less likely crash . Crash test shows most cars total people dead. The battery pack helps stiffen car or truck. Walk away from crashes other auto you will not. Plus I had 800 payment on my Tahoe in 2001. It was hunk crap. And Tesla will sell you insurance way cheaper. Read up on
Buying a Tesla saves me 600$ a month. That was my fuel consumption a month. Car payment is 520$. So free car. 0.9% APR promotion
"Rattles a little bit" it would help if the car wasn't sitting on the ground
You should ask how much they pay for insurance!!!
watch the video a guy said 150
10k down is sick
bunch of bird brains
@@No-vj5or I’m going to guess people just like giving their $$ away
He only put 2500 down after the tax credit.
It means people want to pay off their cars soon without having to pay high interest on the car. Ya dig?
loving your channel
One year of owning a Tesla model 3 saved 4000 AUD in fuel and 0 dollars in charging cost because free charging in Australia
thats NICE!
@anna-fk8qlnope just a normal customer
Last guy said it best. “Safety”. That’s all that matters.
You will get a different pool of people that regularly charge at superchagers instead of at hone
good point
I think it depends where.
Plus they are in La
That's true but you have to consider some of those people are the demographic that regularly charge at home and some of them are just commuting a long distance and others are on road trips since Los Angeles is a popular destination. typically see more model 3s and y's than model x's and s's because most of those owners of the expensive models charge at home
was this filmed in a state where you can drive with no front plate?
I was hoping to hear you ask the last guy, "...how much would a Cybertruck like mine cost in Singapore?"
that would of been good!
6:02 it rattles a lot because of those wheels
Recently bought a used M3.. researched charging rates.. i only charge at home, but it's my commuter. Cost is only .10 per kwh.. public charging in Arizona ranges from .13 (rare) up to almost .50. imagine for gas, people paying up to 4x. Why are some EV owners willing to pay that premium? If I didn't have cheap home pricing, then I probably wouldn't have bought an EV.
I own a used model 3 also. I haven't noticed the increase in my electric bill. 2 children moved out also so I guess the car males up for that.
2024 MYLR $44k. I was initially going to pay all cash but decided to do half so a monthly payment of $410. I am “investing” that half and bought NVDA stock a couple months ago. I’ll be paying off the loan next month with $33k extra profit above that. I’ve been retired since age 39. My first Tesla but I absolutely love it.
An additional question that might be good to ask is whether or not they bought Full Self Driving Beta (FSD). Thanks!
Anyone else have to replay 5:45 and put captions on?? 😂
I came straight to the captions after he said that… 😂

Bout to get a model Y. Made the federal rebate by $400.
So ill go 20K down, and then push the payment's for 6 years with 1% interest.
$60,000 to avoid an oil change. Brilliant!
Not really I got used model 3 dual motor for $17k, not just oil changes, but no belts, plugs, brakes etc.

Dude in the red plaid pants is NOT going to med school. Anyone in med school knows you don’t have time for a marketing job and to drive for Uber. Med school is a 12+ hour per day commitment, 6 or 7 days per week.
I worked at a teaching hospital. Everything you said is correct. Between the classroom and clinical no time for anything else.
Not true at all. I went to med school, went to the moon and Mars, worked as a stripper at night while driving Uber. So yea it's possible.
That and he is expecting to make 200k after 3 years out. And did he say he makes $600 in 2 days of Uber?
Yep I’m a Little skeptical 🧐 my son went & graduated med school no job during that time it was 24/7 now a doctor. Super proud mom right here😬
be real with it, ya'll saying he isn't in med school cause he's black.
What did red tesla guy mean, "we make minimum wage postings"?
In Ontario Canada i'am on the ultra low rate program for home charging, only use super charges
That’s the best - buying your Tesla from your Tesla investment proceeds :)
I hope to do that in two years when the stock goes up. Hopefully it does Nvidia numbers
For those complaining in the comment. If you have a budget of 25k and decide to go buy a car valued at 60k to avoid oil changes, then it doesn’t make sense. But if you are gonna buy a ICE car valued at 60k you might as well get the Tesla because you’d definitely save on maintenance. I can boldly say that’s a fact.
Keeep more of these styles of content
thank you ~
Did they forget they have problems charging when it is cold 🥶
Hearing that these people put $10k down but still have a $400-500 car payment each month would be my “what don’t you like about your Tesla” response.
100%. It's odd how people who finance cars barely mentions the five figures they spent initially.
Madness
Changing oil and air filter is just too hard I agree. Too much maintenance 🙄
$135 to fill up a BMW SUV? I pay $40 to fill up my Kia Forte - does the BMW have a 30+ gallon gas tank?? One thing you don't like about your Tesla Y? The streak of bird poop below the door handle

It felt like it was made cheap inside , made alot of squeaky noise.
I test drive a Ford Mach-E and it was fun driving it from Los Angeles to Vegas and back but finding a charger for Ford was horrible.
The problem is, I feel like after 5yrs the EV is deferring your fuel cost. Do you replace the Battery for 10k to 20k or trade in your ride and have endless payments for the rest of your life. I like to see my rides last at least 15yrs before buying new, wanna enjoy at least 8yrs no car payments
I can't see myself waiting hrs in line for a 80% charge, 1hr charge, freaking out about the miles left.
I'm sticking to gas
Best car ever! 2022 Model Y LR here. My favorite things are Auto Pilot, Regen Braking. I pay $1,045/mo. Got 40K left to payoff. Total cost to finance was 76K @ 2.6% APR. Put 20k down of pure earnings from $TSLA.
Biggest things I don’t like: Glass roof, rear-view mirror rattles and I believe Tesla has defrauded the consumers for those who overpaid on FSD and I wish they’d walk it back and issue partial refunds without a class action lawsuit.
I make 125K and I’m a safety inspector/technician.
wow, I'm looking at a Model Y Performance and its about $45k out the door right now
nice rate!
@anna-fk8ql yah but im waiting for the model 3 ludicrous to come out before i make a decision
@anna-fk8ql I'm not a shareholder
People don’t see if they can afford the car, but only if they can afford the monthly payment. I have never had a financed car because I don’t buy what I cannot afford
Save on oil changes but spend $$$ on new batteries and tires
The cost of insurance and tires offsets any savings from oil changes and gas.
And it’s so simple to do oil changes yourself that people don’t really understand the cost
Why do non-Tesla owners always make the point about the battery? Most Tesla owners will never have to buy a battery. By the time that would be needed they’ll be onto their next car. Not to mention it’s covered for 10 years.
@@quickpstuts412 it’s as you said, MOST Tesla owners won’t have this issue; however these are still issues and still occurs. If it hasn’t for you then great! But don’t speak for all Tesla owners. When it does? Good luck.

$279 / month, i put 3k down. I had several BMW's before my model 3, including a BMW i4. Model 3 is the best car I've ever had, hands down. Especially value-wise. Also, FSD is the real deal and life changing.
We have a really nice Honda Civic. Paid £5000 cash. Does everything, super practical, 50 mpg, 400+ miles on a tank.
I couldn't imagine burning a 10 grand deposit plus at least 500 a month on a fucking car.
There's so many better ways to spend your money than cars.
50mpg on a honda civic? in the US car prices are inflated, for 5k you would be lucky to find a 2005 honda civic with less than 200k miles on the odometer for 5000. New honda civics are going for $30000 and 4 year old used ones for like $22000, so compared to a tesla its not that much of a difference in price (2k ?) and you're getting a way nicer car plus no gas and less maintenance costs.
Loved this video and the concept. I’m in the process of searching and this helped a lot.
So glad!
To the gentleman currently in medical school.
Some disappointing news for you. After medical school, unfortunately there's residency where we get the lovely experience of making around 60,000 a year while working 80 hours a week for 3 years at least. You most certainly will not be making $100,000 a year in residency
Once you're done with residency, you will make no less than $250,000 a year Even as an outpatient primary care. Maybe pediatric get paid closer to lower $200.
My first year out of medical school I made 52,000 then 56 and 57,000 a yr.
My first year out of residency I made 350,000 as a primary care physician
These are the true numbers
how long does it take to charge?
About 30 min to supercharge
About 8-10 hours/overnight level 1 charging( at home)
If you have a level two outlet accesible (washer dryer plug) it takes about half the time a level one would take
(I have a model 3)
I pay $380 a month for a 2021 performance Model 3 with 69k miles and I put 2k down lolol
thats nice!
The last guy knew what he was talking about - I completely agree with him. Safest car on the road
Teslas are even better when you charge at home.

I never owned a Tesla, but I drove them when I was detailing cars and I like them a lot
That’s cool! Getting hands-on time while detailing must’ve been fun. Are you thinking about getting one for yourself someday?
Med school with a side gig?, has to be in premed, I assure you I had absolutely no time for a any kind of side job when I was in my residency.
I kind of thought that. I don't doubt that he is in med school but I doubt he's doing all that side stuff. He's just a Tesla lover or just an electric car vehicle lover. I have an Audi e-tron and I don't pay anything. The first thing I've bought were tires at 30,000 miles. The four tires were $978 at Costco.
What's the purpose of buying Tesla or others EV highly expensive vehicles?
