- I can't believe I bought this six-year-old Tesla. Here's why I did and what you should know if you're considering a used electric vehicle. Six years later, is a used 2018 Tesla Model 3 still worth it? My experience and review.

Just bought a 2019 SR+ a month ago with 46k miles and I absolutely love it. Paid $20k for it. An incredible deal.
I'm not sure if that's a good deal, considering the prices of a brand new one.
That’s a solid deal! Great mileage and price
@@islandnardit’s a great deal
Don't listen to the haters, 20k for that milage and year is a solid deal
I bought a 2022 with 54k miles for 20,700
At 103k miles, my ‘16 Model S still has 94% of its original battery. Drives like new.
Just keep the battery between 30-80% and supercharge sparingly.
That’s awesome! They’ve really got the battery technology refined 👌
Keep in mind that degradation is not the only measurement of battery health. There's many reported cases of batteries in good working condition completely dying.

Great video ! We just got a used 2022 tesla Model 3 long range/dual motors, with 90000 miles on it for the amazing price of $20000. The car still looks like new and it works flawlessly too. Anyway, hope you will enjoy your tesla for many years to come as well ! 👍
Thats a killer deal.
Congrats on your model 3!
And thanks!
Did you get the 4k federal tax rebate also?
@qrsthatsme4030 I will when I file my taxes for 2024!
@@qrsthatsme4030 We didn't get it unfortunately, because our purchase didn't qualify for it.
I also purchased a 2018 model 3 long range with FSD at 40,000 miles, paid about $18,000. I love it and the full self driving is amazing since I got the latest update.
CRAZY deal. Congrats!!
How did u get FSD!?
Great video! People just don’t understand how cheap EV ownership can be, and a Tesla is the best EV you can buy.
I have Tesla m3 long range. The biggest expense is my increase in insurance. I went up $125 a month
NEVER buy new. I bought a 2014 Model S back in 2019 for $41K and it was a bargain. Last week I sold it privately for $19K and bought a 2022 Model Y extended range AWD fully loaded (with FSD) for $41K.
Got a 2021 Model 3 RWD around $27k with only 30k miles. VERY happy with it 🙌🏾
That's steal
Awsome video and incredibly informative. Keep up the good work, Brady.
Much appreciated! Will do🙏🙏
You can get a NEMA 14-50 socket splitter and just plug it into your dryer outlet. The splitter will only allow one side to pull at once- if your dryer is on, it’s running the dryer; otherwise, it’s charging the Tesla.
That’s what I would do, as a renter, and to me it pretty much makes the whole Level 2 charger “install” issue moot.
Damn man… the video production of this video is elite. Like a cable company made this. Kudos man. That’s a lot of post work right there lol. Congrats on the purchase.
Question, you went for a van ish to a model 3. Is it bc you no longer need the storage space? That’s a big jump.
Thanks so much🙏
Really appreciate it.
The majority of this was done in about a week too. Craaaazy post-hours fs.
And yes! I wasn’t using the space as much and I’ve had budgets with shoots recently where it was better to just rent a van if needed. I only loaded it full about 4ish times per year.
This is so well done, Brady!
Thank you so so much!!
Congrats I just picked up my 2023 model 3 with 31k miles for 26k. Absolutely love the car
Thanks! And same to you! That’s a STEAL for a 2023
Where’d you happen to buy this from?
@@EmadBroCarvana, took me a while to shop around tho, they update their list constantly. Just check back every week to see what they have. Was a super easy process and they were great despite all the bad press they’ve had.
Insane deal!
Thank you for putting out this fine video to help those who are on the fence or who don't believe that buying a tesla on the cheap can be done. Cheers mate !
Just got a gorgeous deep blue, 1 owner, no accident 2022 Model 3 RWD for $27k with only 40k miles on it, under full warranty and has permanent FSD, max spec. MSRP is $65k on the window sticker. I got a insane deal for a car that is barely 2 years old haha. I love it.
I just got a 2018 model 3. Dual motor performance with fsd. $26k usd. Has 89k miles, crack on the screen, dent on the rocker under the driver door. Super happy. Just hard since I can't charge at my apartment.
I am picking up a used 2018 model three tomorrow!
Congrats! You’re gonna love it. Which trim did you get?
Mijne (longrange 2019) with 140.000km also is brand New and still perfect. Degradation: arround 9 ~ 10%. But still around 67kwh usable battery. Is just perfect, interior and exterior, no maintenance till now, other than tires and windshield stuff. Would buy it again for sure.
It's seriously crazy how great of a value they're becoming as the market values have come down to earth a bit more on the used market
Great video! I'm shocked at how little the battery degraded.
Thanks! You and me both!
Sharp car! I bought a 2018 Model 3 Performance last year. Totally love it. Can’t believe I can drive a car this nice for $30K. My home charging costs me $25-$30 per month in AZ.
I just got a Tesla model S 2017 with 67k miles for about 27k looks and drives amazing
The production of this video is top tier!
Thanks so much!
Were you able to add any kind of extended warranty from Tesla or another company? Nice vid. Im looking to get one as i have already spent so much money on maintaining my gas powered car.
I want to see how the different models compare cost for a used. Thinking about a model X used but afraid of battery issues been older vehicle.
Really terrific, concise accounting. I had to laugh tho when you asked if we thought you spent 30 40 or 50,000 on a 6 year old RWDM3. I was going to guess something in the low twenties to under 20.
I’m planning to buy a model 3 in near future. I have been wanting to buy a Tesla for a long time, but here in Australia, we didn’t have good network of charging stations up until recently. However I heard that using a supercharger makes battery degradation faster. I just wanted to know that did you use supercharger a lot? Do you charge up to 100% a lot? How many average battery percentage do you consume for your daily commute? Have you been keeping your battery charge between 30%-80% all the time? What is the average summer temperature in your area? What is the total mileage your car has done so far? Did you have any other maintenance in your car apart from replacing wiper blades and tyres? Have you ever had to do maintenance on suspension like shock absorbers, CV joint or bearings. I’m sorry I asked too many questions and I have more 😂. Anyway I want to tell you that quality of your content is very high end. I thought I’m watching a million subscribers top end UA-camr’s video and then realised you are new to this. However I want to say you did a very good job and I wish you all the best.
Got me needing the cybertruck now🙌😂🔥
I have another video coming on that actually..:
I got a 2015 i3 back in 2018 for less than a third of what it cost new. Though it's getting a little long in the tooth now, I still LOVE it. Built well, drives well and I've saved a ton of money over that time.
Just bought a 2021 (which I recommend as that is when they put in the double pain glass with sound proofing) Model Y which was only 31K
Great video!
Enjoyed the video. In CA, charging at home is about $100/month average. Much better than my previous $500 plus monthly gas bill. I would recommend installing a Tesla wall charger and charge at the highest 48amp setting which charges much the car much faster.
For battery life I recommend you limit home daily charging to 30A
Is there a good website to find good deals on used Tesla ? Does used Tesla qualify for federal tax credit ?
Absolutely love this. I’ve just subscribed & will be watching your previous stuff & more. Thank you!
I have been looking at the used inventory that Tesla has because they will normally tack on a reasonable warranty on both the car and the battery. Something you won't get from a non-Tesla dealership.
However, because of the terms & conditions with the current tax incentive, I would only benefit by getting a new Model 3. :-(
Still, it is tempting and your video does a good job showing the good points of going with a used one.
I already have a Level 2 in the garage for the PHEV that I own, so with either an old or new Tesla, I am all set in that department.
Enjoyed this. :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I just got a 2022 Model 3 SR for only $27 plus tax title etc. just over $30k out the door. Only has 13k miles on it. Smells new too. Absolutely flawless until my toddler got in it.
Your Tesla still has more range then my 2019 Hyundai Kona. Which had an original range of 256 Miles. I am still close to that . When my wife's ford is done we plan to buy a Tesla Y. And it will certainly be a second hand one. My Kona is as good as new after 5 years. I have no concerns buying second hand EV's. Good vid , thumbs up for this one.
I’m definitely going this route when I’m ready to replace my civic
It’s sooo worth it🙏🙏
I have a 2018 TM3 and still drives like new.
It's crazy how well they hold up!
You got a new subscriber
Thank you so much!
Would love to have one
Honestly been debating picking up a used model 3 this weeo
I got a 2018 Model S 100D for $29.5k with 81k miles. Insane that when it came out, it was around $100k. Buying new is ridiculous.
How much is cost of insurance? Is it twice that what you would pay for Toyota Camry?
Don’t remember the exact figure but it was only $5 per month more to switch my ford transit connect over to the model 3.
Living in Atlanta how much is your car insurance?
Ehhhh it’s not awful.
I have all my business + liability + auto bundled and pay around $220 per month
bought a 2018 Model 3 Performance for $27k with 38k miles last week and i think its still flawless
I didn't hear you mention the used EV tax credit. Were you able to take advantage of this? I don't think most people realize that qualified buyers can get a $4,000 instant price reduction off of a used EV under $25,000. That makes these used Model 3's an insane value.
I work for Tesla we’re just getting better and better as the years go by !!! Love my job ! You can buy a new Model Y for 43k in Europe.
Just picked up a 2019 Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range for 12k even with 120k miles
Great deal still gets 270 miles on a charge
Same in the uk
how do u find out the battery degeneration when buying used? what procedures are u doing to determine this
???
Sorry, liked your comment in the middle of service I’m filming for a client Lol (I’m a full time videographer)
There’s a service mode you can enter. The quickest way honestly is to use the Tessie app. I did so after I bought it. The quickest way on site is to look at the max range of what they have it charged to (which should be at 100% at delivery) and look at the original range to see the miles lost vs the original estimate
@@ClipPlayTVthank you and sorry for the rush. i appreciate it so much. is there a reason you went 2018 on the year of your car and do u have a miles per year you went by when purchasing?
???
I’m still think about buying a used Tesla.
I think it’s worth it! Just make sure you balance the price and mileage and history.
I bought a 2016 Tesla Model S with 180,000 miles on it a few months ago, and so far I love it, and it runs like brand new
@@jrwrock3592 thanks for sharing.
What about the battery ?@@jrwrock3592
Not Scout! 😩🖤 Hope he went to a good home.
This video is phenomenal Brady!
He did🥲 it was a bit bittersweet
And thank you so much!
On the Tesla website it said that their used cars’ batteries are only warrantied for a year after the date of purchase or 120K odometer miles whichever happens first. You said 8 years. Perhaps I read it wrong.
There is a used vehicle warranty which is separate and more inclusive than the power train and battery warranty. This is the 1 year 10K warranty. There is also the battery and drivetrain warranty which goes 8 years from the original date of purchase (or 120K) and this stays on the vehicle regardless but it only covers the battery and drive units. So two warranties total. The used vehicle warranty is like a regular warranty but not as long
That's great and all but I'd be curious to find out how much you are paying to insure this "cheap" Tesla. I currently drive a Honda Accord and am paying about $1,500 for insurance. Called my insurance company to get a quote on covering an old Model 3. Cost was more than double of what I was paying for the Accord and the rise in insurance actually would have ate the savings on not using gas. So no thanks.
Insuring my Tesla model 3 is about $900/year. Same as my Acura.
Sorry to hear that.
Every insurance provider I’ve gotten quotes from for cars over the years has been pretty drastically different. There are lots of situations and factors at play too such as location. My insurance was half of what I was quoted at other providers. So I’m all in with Statefarm. They’re taken great care of me
Could you add FSD V12.3.1 to this Tesla?
Yes you can! Just have to upgrade to the HW 3.0 autopilot computer. I believe it’s $1K or included free if you buy FSD outright
Broooo amazing camera work, as a photographer I’m going to “ borrow” some of these shots lol.
I have a model y and love it
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot. I own a video production company here in Atlanta and I’ve been throwing the book at these videos as much as I can with coming back to UA-cam this year🙏
Just got myself a 2022' Model Y Performance w/26k miles for $32k and it's NOT a former rental car. To purchase this excact car new was over $60k in 2022'
As long as the battery replacement is over 10k, there is no place for them on second hand market.
A 6yo car is not old 😅 Great purchase 👍😊
There was a time when 6 years or 100k miles and the car was ready for scrap. Now, I am buying cars with 70k-120k miles. Haven't pulled trigger on ev yet.
🔥🔥🔥
You’re the best for your help with this bro.
Always appreciate you
I just saw 2019 Model 3 Performance listed for $25k… did not last long
Should have talked that some people may qualify to up to $4k federal tax credit for used EVs under 25k that are at least 2 years old. Buyer need to be the second owner and make $75k or less of single or $150k or less if married.
Did you have to purchase an extended warranty?
I didn’t, it came with a standard 10,000 mile or one year used car warranty straight from Tesla, and the battery and powertrain warranty transfers over and lasts until 120,000 miles
Just bought my model 3 2021 long range 24k miles for $28k
2020 Model 3 White on White Long Range + FSD + Accel Boost for 20k
Deal of the century right here^
I couldn’t be bothered will all the charging issues. Not sure what kind of people got the time to sit around waiting for a car to charge.
Many people charge while they're home or at work and even shopping. But certainly there is some time to wait during long trips.
Just paid $34k bad credit got a 2018 45k miles model 3
Teslas are considered "luxury" and expensive to repair. That translates to much higher insurance costs. If you're deciding between a Civic and Model 3, think of it as comparing BMW 3 series to a Civic. Not the same is it? A Tesla won't have the mechanical maintenance requirements of a Bimmer but insurance costs will be similar.
My policy with Statefarm was only $5 more per month from a Ford Transit Connect
What is the range you are getting from that 6 year old Tesla? I am hoping over the time the battery performance degrades.
306 miles. Down from originally 310. I’m getting even more than I had initially calculated in this video.
Bought a 2021 MYP with 37K miles for $36K...
Nice!! Love the Model Y
Anyone in the UK liking the idea of this? Well it gets better because all the UK pre Highland m3's were made in China
You can buy model 3’s for 15K now
Maybe a 7 year old one with 200,000 miles on it
Overpaid they go for 18k now
Bought my model x for 22000 last week. Happy period.
Tesla a luxury sedan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s how most insurance companies classify it🤷♂️
@ClipPlayTV - Luxury cars often use higher-quality interior materials and have features that aren’t available on lower-priced autos and are packed with more amenities. They also may have more sound insulation, high-quality body parts and aluminum or carbon fiber components instead of steel. Which begs the question..... what is luxurious about the avg tesla sedan? Would add that insurance companies probably only classify it because evs cost so much more than the avg sedan. If still not clear.... field trip time. Go sit in a model 3/y then climb into a jaguar i-pace, Lucid air, or eqs. And then you will understand why teslas should never be compared to an actual luxury vehicle. Tesla is an iPad with wheels and poor suspension - 😆
@nosoupforyou425 totally valid, but it’s just how insurance underwrites policies 😂
Doesn’t necessarily mean it is but it’s just how they classify ut
@ClipPlayTV probably just a means to charge higher rates due to high costs of repairs and long wait times for parts. One of my evs sat for 6 months with a loaner waiting on parts.
@@nosoupforyou425 was that a Tesla ?
How much did Tesla pay you to do this video?
I wish they paid me lmao💀
I own a video production company so I tend to absolutely throw the book at UA-cam videos in terms of quality
He didnt tell us how much he paid for installing the charger…fishy
$1,350. Down from the original cost quote of $4,500 from a big box company trying to rip me off😂
It cost me $400 for a local electrician to install a 240 volt outlet in my garage. Took him 2 hours. Note that my circuit box had the capacity and an available slot, and the outlet was only 15 ft from the circuit box.
The wire itself is quite expensive, so if your outlet will be far from your circuit box, the cost goes up quickly. If you have to upgrade your service or box, the cost goes up as well.
Wait 4 years. Ull need to replace the battery out of warranty.
Why ?
No you won’t lol, the battery life have been proven over decades now. Even more so with the LFP batteries
where do you live to pay $25 a month for charging ? thats not true, super charging isnt $2-3 bucks lol
That's talking about the bill for a home charger, where depending on your utility company, electricity rates are much cheaper than supercharging. Also, your supercharging visits will vary depending on your location and how much you charge. I've topped off 10-20% before on several visits for just $2-3 at certain locations and times.
@@ClipPlayTVthank you for the reply but which state is this ? I guess Hawaii electric rates are just insanely high cuz each in Hawaii cost $20-25 from 20% to top off
I like EVs but they're expensive for having less parts than ICE cars. My 1986 Porsche 928S with close to 200k miles with over 500 miles highway range because of the 23 gallon fuel tank / 25 hwy mpg + 5 min fill up. Not the fastest 5.7 sec to 60 with the top speed of 160 mph and I know how to fix it.
