Need a video like this but after several more years of ownership. Would be great to see what the experience is like at the 100-150k mile mark and 5+ years.
Ask a Roadster owner with battery problems. No battery available. And one bad cell takes out the whole battery. Only one place can isolate those bad cells. In Boston. When you get the first sign of failure, DO NOT DRIVE OR CHARGE THE CAR. Ship it to Boston.
I've had my Model 3 for 140k miles and 4 years, I haven't had any real problems yet. I did have a suspension squeak that was covered in an afternoon under warranty. It's been a super solid and reliable car.
@weylinmorris3020 I'm tryna convince my wife to get a model y, she's not convinced it'll be a 2 kid family hauler but the size is big enough in my opinion and the reason I want it is the speed and reliability plus no more gas and oil payments
Came here for the Tesla stuff, stayed for the doggos. I'm so sorry to hear about Simba and it definitely looks like you are giving him his best life. I can't imagine how tough it is for you and your wife. Sending y'all the best wishes!
I just wanted to say thank you, probably the reason I bought Model Y. Awesome videos 😊 I have my Model Y for about 7 months and with 12k miles on it. Every time I get into the car, I still drive with biggest smile on my face. Never getting gas car again. Tesla is the true cult 😂
@@EverydayChris Your children are awesome🐶. Lost my fur buddy last year - one f the hardest things I have ever been through, Chris. Glad you are giving your first born an enjoyable life with his mom & dad.
how many Porsche 911's have you driven because they are so far ahead of Tesla as far as quality, steering feel, braking etc its not even funny. heck the turbo S is just a tiny bit slower than a model s plaid to 60mph, but crushes it on a closed road course.
Hi Chris, I have a Fremont Y LR that we picked up in June last year. We have done almost 12K miles with zero issues. I did not have any delivery issues and so far have not had to use Tesla Service. My family loves it and my older son who got to drive it a few times agrees on how amazing it is. I love your videos and please keep them coming!
I've had better experience with my service center appointment - but because I knew my normal service center was known to be not so great - so I rescheduled for a different center. However, I will say, that if you have an issue that can be addressed with the mobile service - that is the way to go. The lack of human numbers to call is a real downside - I prefer using the app and website for the most part but sometimes you need a human to help. Beyond a couple minor service appointments (one mobile and one at a center), I've had no issues. About 18 months and about 12k miles.
aww the bully with a soft heart. I'll keep you updated bro. His energy level is still good. He has another CT scan in a month to see how big the tumors in his lungs got
My only complaints war the normal steering turns with yoke, it should have been electronically steering with race steering/turning, and not direct turn steering, so you can take advantage of the shape, and not be limited/annoyed/inconvenienced by it. and the other thing is the lack of sensors, they keep removing them. (and finally a wish, they should offer full water resistant option and warranty add on for it.)
So, overall, 50% of new Teslas have Issues in the first Year of usage? Wow thats bad... thats really bad. How can a car like this be called "high quality"? My VW Golf 2006 had 1 Problem with the Passangerdoor Lock in the last 6 years and 80.000 km. I could fix it myself for 60 Euros.
It amazes me how Tesla owners spend $50-$100k for a brand new car. It's get delivered and the body parts don't line up correctly! They down play the issue and say it's not a big deal! Like what? Guess it's the Elon juice that has them drunk.
“Avoiding those dirty fossil fuel stations” while driving in the car that uses batteries that were mined by fossil fuel machines and processed by fossil fuel powered factories 🤡. Also how convenient it is to wake up to a fully charged battery that was charged by your home, which is powered by a fossil fueled power station 🤡.
Another enjoyable video, thanks Chris! 2022 MYP 9 months 5,000 miles Car is great no problems to date aside from minor fit at delivery. Which was 99 days order to delivery I’m happy
I found about 5-6 tiny fit and finish issues upon delivery. The awesome service center crew took care of it all without complaint or making me feel ashamed or guilty for even asking. My issues were minuscule and definitely were within spec, but they fixed it all anyways.
@@HypocritesExposd I had two small flubs in the speaker cover and they replaced it no issue and one interior piece of plastic needed to be snapped back in place in the hatch. My service center was great to work with. I think Tesla appeals partly to a tech crowd that doesn’t understand automobiles and they think they are getting a perfect machine like an iPhone “the technology” people. Tesla is a small car company compared to the rest of the industry under tremendous pressure and demand for its products. Expect to have extensive service as this is a highly proprietary product that can only be serviced by Tesla Motors, this is not an economy car! Nothing about Tesla is cheap! Except for the absence of gasoline. The car is amazing but it’s not a Honda, don’t expect it to be like one.
@@steveb6709 agreed. It’s funny when people compare a Tesla to a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Of course the total cost of ownership will be lower for an ICE car like that, but I’ve had a single reliable ICE car for 20 years. Life is too short and I got the Tesla because it’s the car I want for the next 10-20 years. By that time, I’m going to be near retirement, so I’m just trying to enjoy the surprisingly huge amount of time I spend in my car as much as possible.
I ordered my 2021 3SR+ from clicking the button to home delivery was less than 2 weeks. I order my 2023 Y from clicking the button on 1/13 to picking it up at the dealer 2/3 (about a week delay due to me not filling in all the paperwork). I will say that the "dealer" experience was fair. It was hurry up, hurry up, hurry up (due to all the texts, emails, etc to tell me to reschedule delivery early). We got there and had to wait 30 mins for a guy to help us even though we had an appt. End of the day, I have 2 Tesla's in garage; so I guess you can say that I'm super happy with them.
As the new owner of TESLA X, we are SO MAD from our last Road Trip (5K miles), as we SPENT HOURS MORE just to stop EVERY 150 -200 MILES, unlike our 2023 TOYOTA SIENNA PLATINUM HYBRID that can DRIVE for 500 MILES even you're driving 90-100Mph with FULL LOAD of stuff, wirh captain chairs, huge monitor in the back, more leg & head room, etc............... For a LONG ROAD TRIP, do NOT fuckin bring a TESLA, just bring or rent the LATEST MINIVAN in the market, period.
Yes everyone on RUclips has had a bad delivery experience. This and overall quality of the interior and exterior is slightly holding me back from buying. Once they get that stuff ironed out I’ll be pulling the trigger
Yeah, it’s concerning! Any other new car my wife and I have ever bought never had any issues at all- that’s the expectation with a new car, for initial delivery and for the first few years. I really like Teslas and hope to get one sometime, but I can’t believe the expectations are so low where we just assume a few issues are normal in the first year. :(
5 month M3LR owner. '22 model. No service issues but the black paint sucks! Do not get black! Never been to any car wash, always hand washed and garaged. Rock chips galore on the hood. My 2006 Chevy Cobalt's black paint was WAY better than this, and that car was 18k MSRP and had 120k miles when I got rid of it and the paint on that car's hood looked better than my 65k Tesla's now after only 10k miles!
Call me old fashion but if I buy a brand new vehicle and it gives me any major issue before 60k-80k miles I'm probably never buying another car from that brand. If I buy a new car I shouldn't even need to review their customer service for years.
I couldn’t agree with this more. My Tesla ownership experience has been good, but the service center experience has been some of the worst auto experiences I’ve ever had. Almost left the brand entirely multiple times
How bad could it be? I have never had a good experience with Toyota dealers and I have gone to multiple dealers. They always try to sell you something you don't need and appointments can take very long. So unless it's a luxury car, do dealerships ever provide good experiences?
0:33 you said "Tesla's self-driving technology has been amazing" Yes, it is amazingly inconsistent. Sometimes, my Model 3 and Model X both in FSD would not let cars merge if there is an on-ramp and a merge lane ahead to the right of my cars. If my Tesla(s) follow other cars on the freeway, and traffic ahead slow down, my Teslas slow down, but when the traffic ahead start to pick up speed again, my Teslas are extremely slow to get back up to speed. Other drivers were probably thinking I was a retarded driver. Also, going around curves, both of my Teslas also have tendency to understeer if the turns get faster and faster in shortening its radius. Sometimes, I have to take over immediately just to avoid the possibility of potentially hitting the central dividers of roads. My Model X was a brand-new and my Model 3 for my wife is a pre-owned but come with all belts and whistles at over $20,000 cheaper compared to when it was brand-new with FSD. Anyway, autopilot is still mostly a pile dream as of today. It is still ... still ... at level 2 as of April 28, 2023.
From ordering to delivery, incl. trading-in my ICE vehicle, I experienced the entire process very positively in Switzerland last year. My Model 3 LR didn't have the slightest imperfection, was spotlessly cleaned and after 12000 km (almost 7500 miles) everything still works perfectly. Maybe it's just luck, who knows.
Make sure to update me in 6-8 years when the battery doesn’t hold a charge and a new battery costs $24K. And if you end up selling it around year 5 to avoid this, let me know how this factors into the selling price with feaful buyers who know the battery is on its way out. What I hate most about cell phones is they don’t hold a charge like they did on day one, and you have to replace them around 3-5 yrs. Cell phone batteries are inexpensive tho, Tesla batteries are not.
more issues cuz you drove more miles. I need a car with subaru or honda level reliability. If I can't depend on tesla to fix a battery that won't charge that's a really serious potential problem. I like your 56k model 3 neighbor with nearly zero issues. i'm a guy who needs a lot of miles if he needs a tesla at all. It sucks that they stole 57,000 dollars from you, even temporarily. Giving you $200 doesn't make up for them double charging you. Not okay. And the fact that you can't get those guys on the phone... that's nearly a deal breaker for me. I want a tesla but if I end up in that situation I may invest in voodoo dolls of Elon Musk so I can torture him remotely. I don't get why they charge you the amount you would pay for a top of the line BMW or Mercedes, not an entry level Mercedes, and then the whole operation turns into amateur hour at Southwest Airlines. Honestly. This is very upsetting to me. Tesla is an aspirational brand for me, I really want one, but these stories are truly very unsettling.
Great video and sorry about your dog . I am picking my model Y long soon I hope i don't have buyers remorse. Is my first tesla or EV car ever. Cheers!!
The thing I do not like is the battery degradation. At delivery my M3P 100% charge was at 315 now it’s at 280. Had it’s for year and half. Barely supercharge.. and never over 90%. Other than 3 times. My battery died a month ago. Rear battery disabled.. and couldn’t drive.. which was a shock. It was at tesla for 3 weeks. They gave me $100 Uber credits per day while in the dealership. Which was nice.
I have my car for 2 years 30k miles and only have about 5-6% loss and that number has been pretty consistent since 15k-20k miles, so basically after 20k I barely see any degradation.
Do remember that it uses your average power consumption for its range estimates. So if you go above it’s very optimistic range, it will show a lower range. With that said, reports show that the battery degrades quickly in the very beginning, and then slows down to almost nothing.
Thanks for the video! After 3 years, 30K miles, my model still keeps me smiling. I agree service is probably the weakest link in the Tesla ownership experience. My (only) issue was squeaky control arm joints (warranty repair). They said 1-day, but kept the car 4, w/no loaners, offered Enterprise, etc. Nevertheless, imho Tesla is a great company, despite growing pains.
Bought three Teslas and have had zero issues. Picked up and left without having to buy tons of dealer add ons. No pressure, no upselling, no hidden fees, no markup … i had a Nissan Maxima and a Infiniti G37 both with engine issues. One after 12k miles and one at 30k miles. The Maxima was in the shop for 45 days. My point is that every car manufacturer have issues and problems. I agree that Tesla service could be improved but no other car manufacturer has a Ranger service. Tesla is at least on par with US auto makers. Lexus service is probably superior to everyone. I definitely believe that our M3P and MYP are the best cars we have ever had. My audi RS5, audi s6, MB C43 AMG, Lexis IS350 all had worse problems and the maintenance was horrendous. You don’t mention anything about minimal maintenance cost with an EV. My RS5 cost over $5k to get rotors replaced as they can’t be resurfaced and for a complete brake job. Someone complaining about tires has never had a high performance car obviously. All of those cars need tires replaced every 20k miles. Our MB needed new tires after 10k miles. Teslas are super fast cars and will beat most ICE cars any day. Holistically Tesla has the best cars … if you don’t believe me at least test drive one.
You dont have to ask neighbours. You check out workshops and number of issues compared to other cars. The tecknology and speed is fantastic. But number of issues compared to other cars is huge.
Complaining about replacing tires for a car that has sports car level acceleration is hilarious. Don’t forget that every Tesla has sport level performance, drive smooth and your tires will last as long as any other car
Model Y LR 2years 40,000 miles no issues at all. still using original tires and still have about 5 to 10 thousand left on them....... I had a puncture once it was fixed the same day.
I have had a MYLR for about 2 months. Delivery experience: Perfect!. Fit and finish: Excellent! Subsequent service: Not needed. Refund of AUD $8450.00: Much appreciated! Summary: Love it!
Excited for you! If you notice any fit and finish issues (use a checklist) upon delivery, take pics and schedule a service appt right away. Be super, super nice to the service crew as they’re overworked and probably get treated like crap by other people and hopefully all is good! Enjoy!
The battery not charging is bad for sure but I find it almost hilarious to be upset over some plastic panels fitting not perfect and a jagged piece of plastic that no one would ever see. Yes I would call that within spec lol. I’m sure if I inspected my Kia I’d find some things that are off but for me it’s a who cars, but to eaches own, I would just not care.
"It's within Spec." "Your Car repair will be done in a day." Tesla's growing pains are primarily in Service & Delivery. In the coming years, it will improve many fold, as engineering determines ways to simplify/modify & reengineer the battery, thermal cooling, Touchpad interface & charging to work "within Specs." of a Toyota Corolla !
had a Corolla before our Y & the fit & finish of everything is 100x better than the Y. I will not recommend a Tesla because of the delivery & service experience. I kept getting lied to at delivery and service & felt like I had to hold their hand to make sure they were taking care of my situation as they promised. I wish everybody can know about my situation because it’s off-putting if you’re purchasing a 60k car and left feeling dissatisfied with the purchase because of the delivery experience.
I never get the android auto or carplay argument. We miss it because we are used to it? The whole point of this software being important for normal cars is because the normal car software sucks. Tesla got the best software on the market. So no need for anything else.
"im not a tesla fanboy" .... goes on to show a video clip of 2 years late promised hud feature cyberpunk. the wait was fine, only now you must call it cyberpunk 2080 technically. 2 years in gaming age is 2 decades pff
A week out for a service isn't bad. I also have a ford truck and they had me out 2-3 weeks. I think many car companies due to a lack of service mechanics have got much worse. Thanks for the detailed long review of your tesla experience.
Got my Y performance last year. Delivery with 2 scratched rims, and overall bad build quality on the outside. The worst thing is the missing ultrasonic sensors for the park distance control, absolute nogo. Even with the newest update the traffic sign detection is worse than my 2017 BMW, windshield wipers automatic is the worst i`ve ever had. Service wont fix my problems or even answer. Wont buy a Tesla again and absolutely can`t recommend to buy one right now with the missing sensors and no alternative, even if you`re ok with the other common issues.
Thanks for the info. I have been hearing similar reports of customer service issues and build quality. I was considering buying but after watching this video I am looking into other options.
I would never go to a Costco for gas. Its a good deal but my time is worth more. I sold my 2018 Tesla model 3LR last year for so I could get a newer one but the delivery date keep changing from late Feb to March to April but I have already sold it because of the great price Vroom would pay for it. I had to rent cars for a month until I gave up and bought a Acura MDX. The car is fine but its not a Tesla. The gas price was insane too. I just can't use this car as an everyday driver so I order a performance model y that's schedule to be delivered this this month. I hope they give me a good one lol
The worst service ever !!!! Love my Tesla that I bought in 22 but poor quality control. I think the service is probably the only reason I wouldn’t buy another one. Sorry to say other car manufacturers are coming out with electric car. So in the future I might consider another car with better quality and service. They never fix things correctly.
Love my model 3 but it sucks that you have to pay a subscription to have apple music!? if they were to charge that, it (at a minimum) should have ALL the apps I get with Carplay and MORE... that part sucks big time.
Great review after 50,000 miles. I'm about to hit the same mileage also. I've only had my model 3 long range stay one time for service to replace my windshield that got a chip while driving. Other than that it's been better than any gas car I've owned.
yes very telling that neighbor correctly pointed out tire wear, which is far greater than an ICE car on average, and thats the most toxic part of any car, so they pollute more overall. This is of course because they are very heavy, and wear out roads and bridges faster, too. Considering youd need to drive these atleast 50,000 miles to break even with ICE cars emissions, its really a case of "electric CAN be cleaner than ICE" but not in all scenarios.
I’ve drove my sister Honda CRV for few months but after sitting in my cousin model y I immediately fall in love hopefully I’m able to sell my 2019 Honda accord sport but I realize in my cousin he just step on the brake throw in reverse we’re gone to my relative food store but in my car when I need to go somewhere I have to wait it for warming up so that another reason why I want a tesla.
I ordered a model y LR. I had a problem with financing and I called Tesla customer service and I was on hold for 3 and a half hours. I ended up hanging up and called again the next day. After waiting another hour and a half, I gave up. Drove up to the service center and the rep there was SUPER helpful and fixed my issue in 10 mins. Now I'm all set to take delivery next week.
I own a Model 3 and here is my comment : Zero problems in one year 12,000 miles, drove from Los Angeles to Vancouver finding "SuperChargers" everywhere cost about $120 each way : End of Comment ~
I have have a Tesla 3 long range 2nd gen for 2 years and 2 months and 90k and never seen a service centre the in the uk you get the service team sitting at the super chargers so they fitted the o ring when I went for coffee.
@@EverydayChrisAround 4 weeks ago. It may not be a big deal to most people, but it would have been nice to know that not all Tesla Model Y's manufactured in the state of Texas come with the same HW version. I had a custom order and it would have been nice if the Tesla website specified the hardware version level of the cars. It appears to be a pretty significant upgrade based on a lot of the content that I've seen so far.
Good point, insurance is more expensive than ICE, depreciation ( 20% per year avg.) is faster than ICE/Hybrid due to the nature EV 1st Gen, and on top of the tires wear out much faster than ICE/Hybriad , $1500 set of 4 TIRES every 2500 miles. That's the the nature of 1st Gen and 1.5 Gen EV, due to automation and lower material ocst over time. Thus, hybrid doesn't seem too bad after all, wati till 2nd -3rd Gen stabilized the cost., then I reconsider EV.
Sure argue about a panel gap, or maybe a squeaky door all none real issues. I have taken delivery of a 2023 Ioniq 5 Long range AWD (limited equivalent - the car is in Canada )end of Oct 2022 and i still cannot Fast DC charge. I am heading back in 2 weeks for service to do more troubleshooting (4th appt), I do not hope for much. First service back in Early Dec when I discovered the issue, they ordered a CCS socket wiring harness took about 8 weeks for that to arrive and another 4 weeks to get the service appt. That did not fix the issue, took another week for service to call back, and said they could do another appt in 5 weeks to troubleshoot more, and that appt is about 2 weeks away. So at least a Tesla may not look finished but teh tech works and they know their cars, Hyundai, maybe ICE cars they fully understand but the technicians are not able to service their own EVs.
I’ve put about 22500km on my Model 3 Performance in 9 months. My biggest issues have been fit/finish (rattles and loose bits some of which have been fixed some not) and the hundreds of phantom brakes with autopilot and TACC. I’m not sure how long I will keep it but my next car won’t be a Tesla.
Did you switch your rims to induction? Or are those different hubcaps? And if you went to induction, did you notice anything different in ride quality or range loss?
I've loved watching your videos Chris as they are very informative for a new Tesla owner as myself. But you earn bonus points for being a huge dog loving family! First thing after I received my Tesla and inspected it. I folded the rear seats down, put in my all weather mats and put down a rear dog cover so I could take my 10.5 year old Chow Chow for a ride. He loved It! I wish you all the best time with your four-legged family members as it is never long enough. Sending good thoughts to your pooches!
you must live a very boring A to B local life. i travel 500miles every month on mini road trips to visit family and 3000 miles twice a year for vacation from east coast to west coast. if i drove an EV my aprox 3000 mile trip would take 2 WEEKs doubling not only my travel time but also my cost due to having to rent double the amount of motels to sleep.... due to all the obscene charging wait times, NOT only does it take almost 1hr to charge but often times theres a wait BEFORE even charging LOL total JOKE. ill keep my diesel for life.
@@tedlasalvia9668 WRONG by 2030 many states are banning and refusing to provide insurance on gasoline cars. in China you have to pay 15,000$! just to register a gasoline car (eco registration tax) and then you can only drive it from 8am to 5pm. if you drive it after these hours you get a 1000$ "fine" for polluting... If China is doing it you can bet USA canada and EU will follow.. there will be no choice and its becuase fools agree to buy, promote incurage these EV abominations. Did you know China owns 90% of the worlds chemicals and minerals required to build EVs? and theres only enough Lithium on the planet to replace 5% of the worlds vehicles... You know why NWO wants EVs so bad?? becuase they dont want people to drive and be mobile anymore.They want total control over majority of people. Evs are perfect. A: there wont be enough EVs for majorioty of people to have one, only the rich will drive. B: they can easily shut off the power and stop your movment during civil wars or protests. no power cant charge them. . ( gasoline you can stock pile gas and drive for months or years with out a gas station) C: again if you live in senior center apartments or highrise buildings you wont be able to charge them or not be allowed to own them. ( some stratas are already banning the instalation of charge ports being installed in there buildings)The Covid Hoax lockdowns were a TEST to see if people would tolerate having there mobility removed. These Evs are much worse for the planet. now we will clear cut forests to build Hydro plants, mine the entire planet for minerals, and set up nuclear power plants in ever city to produce more power. LA has rolling black outs durring the summer becuase of to many people using there Air conditoners, but you people think it will be fines with everyone pluging in these cars at 5 pm? LOL... EVs are a threat to not only freedom of choice and freedom of mobility but also life as we know it.
That was a great decision, you will not regret it. Be sure to watch some youtube videos explaining all the features of a Tesla as like an Iphone, all are not readily apparent. Owning a Tesla is owning a computer that also happens to ba a car.🙂
@@rmkep Tesla is similar to apple but hey apple at least gives you a solution (albeit more money to them) rather than saying it’s “coming soon”. Apple removed the headphone jack, but give you AirPods. They removed all of the ports in the mac but theoretically the usb c can replace all of the function. They also don’t promise a feature and not delivering on it. Tesla removed uss promising Tesla vision and it’s been 5 months now with no news about it.
I don’t mind gas stations since I get 415 miles per tank. I don’t get driver fatigue. Just here debating between the model 3 and Y because I want to support the giga-press tech. I don’t even care that they’re electric. Lol

Ask a Roadster owner with battery problems. No battery available. And one bad cell takes out the whole battery. Only one place can isolate those bad cells. In Boston. When you get the first sign of failure, DO NOT DRIVE OR CHARGE THE CAR. Ship it to Boston.

Hi Chris, I have a Fremont Y LR that we picked up in June last year. We have done almost 12K miles with zero issues. I did not have any delivery issues and so far have not had to use Tesla Service. My family loves it and my older son who got to drive it a few times agrees on how amazing it is. I love your videos and please keep them coming!

I talk to Tesla owners all the time where I work and not a single person has told me the regret it. They all say they will never buy anything else.
Hard to beat Tesla!
I agree with him. The interior dashboard design is crap.
My only complaints war the normal steering turns with yoke, it should have been electronically steering with race steering/turning, and not direct turn steering, so you can take advantage of the shape, and not be limited/annoyed/inconvenienced by it. and the other thing is the lack of sensors, they keep removing them. (and finally a wish, they should offer full water resistant option and warranty add on for it.)
So, overall, 50% of new Teslas have Issues in the first Year of usage? Wow thats bad... thats really bad. How can a car like this be called "high quality"?
My VW Golf 2006 had 1 Problem with the Passangerdoor Lock in the last 6 years and 80.000 km. I could fix it myself for 60 Euros.
It amazes me how Tesla owners spend $50-$100k for a brand new car.
It's get delivered and the body parts don't line up correctly! They down play the issue and say it's not a big deal! Like what?
Guess it's the Elon juice that has them drunk.
“Avoiding those dirty fossil fuel stations” while driving in the car that uses batteries that were mined by fossil fuel machines and processed by fossil fuel powered factories 🤡. Also how convenient it is to wake up to a fully charged battery that was charged by your home, which is powered by a fossil fueled power station 🤡.
Another enjoyable video, thanks Chris! 2022 MYP
9 months 5,000 miles
Car is great no problems to date aside from minor fit at delivery. Which was 99 days order to delivery I’m happy
Awesome thanks Steve!
I found about 5-6 tiny fit and finish issues upon delivery. The awesome service center crew took care of it all without complaint or making me feel ashamed or guilty for even asking. My issues were minuscule and definitely were within spec, but they fixed it all anyways.
@@HypocritesExposd I had two small flubs in the speaker cover and they replaced it no issue and one interior piece of plastic needed to be snapped back in place in the hatch. My service center was great to work with. I think Tesla appeals partly to a tech crowd that doesn’t understand automobiles and they think they are getting a perfect machine like an iPhone “the technology” people. Tesla is a small car company compared to the rest of the industry under tremendous pressure and demand for its products. Expect to have extensive service as this is a highly proprietary product that can only be serviced by Tesla Motors, this is not an economy car! Nothing about Tesla is cheap! Except for the absence of gasoline. The car is amazing but it’s not a Honda, don’t expect it to be like one.
@@steveb6709 agreed. It’s funny when people compare a Tesla to a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Of course the total cost of ownership will be lower for an ICE car like that, but I’ve had a single reliable ICE car for 20 years. Life is too short and I got the Tesla because it’s the car I want for the next 10-20 years. By that time, I’m going to be near retirement, so I’m just trying to enjoy the surprisingly huge amount of time I spend in my car as much as possible.
damn imagine having so much money you can be double charged for 56k LOL also i think your dogs live a better life than i do im jealous
I ordered my 2021 3SR+ from clicking the button to home delivery was less than 2 weeks. I order my 2023 Y from clicking the button on 1/13 to picking it up at the dealer 2/3 (about a week delay due to me not filling in all the paperwork). I will say that the "dealer" experience was fair. It was hurry up, hurry up, hurry up (due to all the texts, emails, etc to tell me to reschedule delivery early). We got there and had to wait 30 mins for a guy to help us even though we had an appt. End of the day, I have 2 Tesla's in garage; so I guess you can say that I'm super happy with them.
I drove 3,5 year in Toyota Camry with 254k kilometers and 0 issue 🤷🏻♂️
So all and all, Tesla customer service is horrible. Like Comcast level horrible. No, thank you.
As the new owner of TESLA X, we are SO MAD from our last Road Trip (5K miles), as we SPENT HOURS MORE just to stop EVERY 150 -200 MILES, unlike our 2023 TOYOTA SIENNA PLATINUM HYBRID that can DRIVE for 500 MILES even you're driving 90-100Mph with FULL LOAD of stuff, wirh captain chairs, huge monitor in the back, more leg & head room, etc...............
For a LONG ROAD TRIP, do NOT fuckin bring a TESLA, just bring or rent the LATEST MINIVAN in the market, period.
Tesla sells model Y USD 17,115 cheaper in China than here in USA ....
Yes everyone on RUclips has had a bad delivery experience. This and overall quality of the interior and exterior is slightly holding me back from buying. Once they get that stuff ironed out I’ll be pulling the trigger
Yeah, it’s concerning! Any other new car my wife and I have ever bought never had any issues at all- that’s the expectation with a new car, for initial delivery and for the first few years.
I really like Teslas and hope to get one sometime, but I can’t believe the expectations are so low where we just assume a few issues are normal in the first year. :(
How many years until they iron it out?
Clearly has never owned a normal car and dealt with incompetent staff with dealerships lol
Blimey thats a lot of neighbours with Teslas lol! Must have rich neighbours
Ask yourself this question, are you using fossil fuels to produce your electricity?
🤔, so your saying as long as someone tells you platitudes your ok with anything?
5 month M3LR owner. '22 model. No service issues but the black paint sucks! Do not get black! Never been to any car wash, always hand washed and garaged. Rock chips galore on the hood. My 2006 Chevy Cobalt's black paint was WAY better than this, and that car was 18k MSRP and had 120k miles when I got rid of it and the paint on that car's hood looked better than my 65k Tesla's now after only 10k miles!
Call me old fashion but if I buy a brand new vehicle and it gives me any major issue before 60k-80k miles I'm probably never buying another car from that brand. If I buy a new car I shouldn't even need to review their customer service for years.
I couldn’t agree with this more. My Tesla ownership experience has been good, but the service center experience has been some of the worst auto experiences I’ve ever had. Almost left the brand entirely multiple times
How bad could it be? I have never had a good experience with Toyota dealers and I have gone to multiple dealers. They always try to sell you something you don't need and appointments can take very long. So unless it's a luxury car, do dealerships ever provide good experiences?
@@wgemini4422
Many Tesla owners claim it to be a luxury car.
The German car dealers has been the best in my experience.
@@harmony3138 Really? From what I heard, they are the worst.
Dealers are 300% better than Tesla. They don’t say “within spec”…
@@wgemini4422 They're good, they just charge serious money.
0:33 you said "Tesla's self-driving technology has been amazing" Yes, it is amazingly inconsistent. Sometimes, my Model 3 and Model X both in FSD would not let cars merge if there is an on-ramp and a merge lane ahead to the right of my cars. If my Tesla(s) follow other cars on the freeway, and traffic ahead slow down, my Teslas slow down, but when the traffic ahead start to pick up speed again, my Teslas are extremely slow to get back up to speed. Other drivers were probably thinking I was a retarded driver. Also, going around curves, both of my Teslas also have tendency to understeer if the turns get faster and faster in shortening its radius. Sometimes, I have to take over immediately just to avoid the possibility of potentially hitting the central dividers of roads. My Model X was a brand-new and my Model 3 for my wife is a pre-owned but come with all belts and whistles at over $20,000 cheaper compared to when it was brand-new with FSD. Anyway, autopilot is still mostly a pile dream as of today. It is still ... still ... at level 2 as of April 28, 2023.
it got so much better after single stack. video coming soon
issues with the battery and being out of commish makes it a no go for us. Going Lexus Hybrid instead.
Sorry, the rest was hard to watch after you holding your dog. I lost my dog in my arms so I know the feeling. It’s like losing a child. God bless 🙏🏾
Agree. Thanks for stopping by
From ordering to delivery, incl. trading-in my ICE vehicle, I experienced the entire process very positively in Switzerland last year. My Model 3 LR didn't have the slightest imperfection, was spotlessly cleaned and after 12000 km (almost 7500 miles) everything still works perfectly. Maybe it's just luck, who knows.
Where was your car manufactured? Germany?
@@georgeborrelli3134 Shanghai.
That’s your standard ? 12,000km? My tdi has 330,000km & am only considering buying a 23 model y used in 2 years when my car rolls over 400,000km.
7500 miles and everything is working perfect? uhh yeahhh duhhh its brand new
Make sure to update me in 6-8 years when the battery doesn’t hold a charge and a new battery costs $24K. And if you end up selling it around year 5 to avoid this, let me know how this factors into the selling price with feaful buyers who know the battery is on its way out. What I hate most about cell phones is they don’t hold a charge like they did on day one, and you have to replace them around 3-5 yrs. Cell phone batteries are inexpensive tho, Tesla batteries are not.
FOR SURE will! Not even gonna lie.
more issues cuz you drove more miles. I need a car with subaru or honda level reliability. If I can't depend on tesla to fix a battery that won't charge that's a really serious potential problem.
I like your 56k model 3 neighbor with nearly zero issues. i'm a guy who needs a lot of miles if he needs a tesla at all.
It sucks that they stole 57,000 dollars from you, even temporarily. Giving you $200 doesn't make up for them double charging you. Not okay. And the fact that you can't get those guys on the phone... that's nearly a deal breaker for me. I want a tesla but if I end up in that situation I may invest in voodoo dolls of Elon Musk so I can torture him remotely.
I don't get why they charge you the amount you would pay for a top of the line BMW or Mercedes, not an entry level Mercedes, and then the whole operation turns into amateur hour at Southwest Airlines. Honestly. This is very upsetting to me. Tesla is an aspirational brand for me, I really want one, but these stories are truly very unsettling.
Facts
Us Asians need to buy something less stereotypical!
Seriously every other Full Self Driving vehicles are straight GARBAGE. #Tesla is a Far #1 for #FSD Capabilities. #Mercedes fsd is a joke.
Wow that sucks. Thats why we love Tesla!
Great video and sorry about your dog .
I am picking my model Y long soon
I hope i don't have buyers remorse.
Is my first tesla or EV car ever.
Cheers!!
Good choice!
Why don’t you just fly for free with your head wings 😂
The thing I do not like is the battery degradation. At delivery my M3P 100% charge was at 315 now it’s at 280. Had it’s for year and half. Barely supercharge.. and never over 90%. Other than 3 times. My battery died a month ago. Rear battery disabled.. and couldn’t drive.. which was a shock. It was at tesla for 3 weeks. They gave me $100 Uber credits per day while in the dealership. Which was nice.
What did they end up doing to your battery pack? Does 100% charge increase the range now?
Wtf are you saying. Part of the pack can’t be at fault. You had a rear drive unit failure. That means motor not battery lol
So what’s the ending to your story Raffi? They fix it? How long ago was that? Did you get a new motor or battery?
I have my car for 2 years 30k miles and only have about 5-6% loss and that number has been pretty consistent since 15k-20k miles, so basically after 20k I barely see any degradation.
Do remember that it uses your average power consumption for its range estimates. So if you go above it’s very optimistic range, it will show a lower range.
With that said, reports show that the battery degrades quickly in the very beginning, and then slows down to almost nothing.
Another stellar video bro. Can’t wait to get mine soon. Been bingeing your vids.
haha thank you bro! Let me know if you have any questions
Thanks for the video! After 3 years, 30K miles, my model still keeps me smiling. I agree service is probably the weakest link in the Tesla ownership experience. My (only) issue was squeaky control arm joints (warranty repair). They said 1-day, but kept the car 4, w/no loaners, offered Enterprise, etc. Nevertheless, imho Tesla is a great company, despite growing pains.
Haha yeah true growing pains thanks for watchin!
You’ve only driven 30k in the past two years?
@@melaniedelgado3029
I think he means 30,000 miles.
Bought three Teslas and have had zero issues. Picked up and left without having to buy tons of dealer add ons. No pressure, no upselling, no hidden fees, no markup … i had a Nissan Maxima and a Infiniti G37 both with engine issues. One after 12k miles and one at 30k miles. The Maxima was in the shop for 45 days. My point is that every car manufacturer have issues and problems.
I agree that Tesla service could be improved but no other car manufacturer has a Ranger service. Tesla is at least on par with US auto makers. Lexus service is probably superior to everyone.
I definitely believe that our M3P and MYP are the best cars we have ever had. My audi RS5, audi s6, MB C43 AMG, Lexis IS350 all had worse problems and the maintenance was horrendous.
You don’t mention anything about minimal maintenance cost with an EV. My RS5 cost over $5k to get rotors replaced as they can’t be resurfaced and for a complete brake job.
Someone complaining about tires has never had a high performance car obviously. All of those cars need tires replaced every 20k miles. Our MB needed new tires after 10k miles. Teslas are super fast cars and will beat most ICE cars any day.
Holistically Tesla has the best cars … if you don’t believe me at least test drive one.
You dont have to ask neighbours. You check out workshops and number of issues compared to other cars. The tecknology and speed is fantastic. But number of issues compared to other cars is huge.
You shouldn't buy a car in cash. That is a terrible financial decision. It depreciates so you aren't making an investment you are throwing money away.
this is true
Bruh! 🤣😂 that's horrible service
No need tesla/ elon fanboy. I just want to listen truths. Thanks. Closed after 49th second.
Truth is you should have stayed my boy
There's no way I would have accepted deliver with that bumper like that, within spec my ass
True dat d money
Good luck Simba. At least you have great parents!
Love that you guys are giving Simba an awesome adventure while he's battling cancer. I hope he heals soon. Love your channel too!
Thanks so much! Will keep you updated!
Model Y performance ordered and waiting.
🙏🙏🙏 for Simba. Great video, thank you for sharing your experience with us. 😊
Thank you!
"there's chargers everywhere"..........lol........come to Indiana and Kentucky.
Dang I should.
Complaining about replacing tires for a car that has sports car level acceleration is hilarious. Don’t forget that every Tesla has sport level performance, drive smooth and your tires will last as long as any other car
Amen
Model Y LR 2years 40,000 miles no issues at all. still using original tires and still have about 5 to 10 thousand left on them....... I had a puncture once it was fixed the same day.
I have had a MYLR for about 2 months. Delivery experience: Perfect!. Fit and finish: Excellent! Subsequent service: Not needed. Refund of AUD $8450.00: Much appreciated! Summary: Love it!
GM is going to start helping Tesla with repairs and service it should improve how fast service is performed.
Mmmmm, Tesla fan boy report I feel!
I’ve been a tesla investor/fan since 2018 and I finally ordered a model y performance a week ago very excited but very nervous!
Same same.
Excited for you! If you notice any fit and finish issues (use a checklist) upon delivery, take pics and schedule a service appt right away. Be super, super nice to the service crew as they’re overworked and probably get treated like crap by other people and hopefully all is good! Enjoy!
@@HypocritesExposd if there’s issues should I still accept delivery and they’ll fix it for free right?
@@HypocritesExposd can you write the checklist of some common stuff please? i ordered a MXP 2 weeks ago almost
woohoo! You'll have a "voice" when you get it for sure
question which is more annoying? Tesla vehicle or tesla fanboys?
Fan boys for sure
The battery not charging is bad for sure but I find it almost hilarious to be upset over some plastic panels fitting not perfect and a jagged piece of plastic that no one would ever see. Yes I would call that within spec lol.
I’m sure if I inspected my Kia I’d find some things that are off but for me it’s a who cars, but to eaches own, I would just not care.
Very informative, watching your videos convinced me to bought myTesla model Y LR. I had it since 12/12/22, so far no issues🤞
haha awesome!
why am I crying in the middle of a tesla review video? 🥺🙈 your doggos are precious.
Aww thank you
makes me all the more happy with my 2016 216k mile camry. Reliable and dependable.
Toyota/Lexus owner since 1996. My wife just bought a model 3, I don’t think I can go back to Toyota/Lexus.
2021 tesla y almost 30.000 miles,no problems, plus one friend discovered no heating battery required to be able to drive 😀
"It's within Spec." "Your Car repair will be done in a day." Tesla's growing pains are primarily in Service & Delivery. In the coming years, it will improve many fold, as engineering determines ways to simplify/modify & reengineer the battery, thermal cooling, Touchpad interface & charging to work "within Specs." of a Toyota Corolla !
had a Corolla before our Y & the fit & finish of everything is 100x better than the Y. I will not recommend a Tesla because of the delivery & service experience. I kept getting lied to at delivery and service & felt like I had to hold their hand to make sure they were taking care of my situation as they promised. I wish everybody can know about my situation because it’s off-putting if you’re purchasing a 60k car and left feeling dissatisfied with the purchase because of the delivery experience.
How the heck can you not have Sirius XM satellite radio??
Sirius-ly
I never get the android auto or carplay argument. We miss it because we are used to it? The whole point of this software being important for normal cars is because the normal car software sucks. Tesla got the best software on the market. So no need for anything else.
You complain about everything.
Thank you!!
"im not a tesla fanboy" .... goes on to show a video clip of 2 years late promised hud feature cyberpunk. the wait was fine, only now you must call it cyberpunk 2080 technically. 2 years in gaming age is 2 decades pff
A week out for a service isn't bad. I also have a ford truck and they had me out 2-3 weeks. I think many car companies due to a lack of service mechanics have got much worse. Thanks for the detailed long review of your tesla experience.
Got my Y performance last year. Delivery with 2 scratched rims, and overall bad build quality on the outside. The worst thing is the missing ultrasonic sensors for the park distance control, absolute nogo. Even with the newest update the traffic sign detection is worse than my 2017 BMW, windshield wipers automatic is the worst i`ve ever had. Service wont fix my problems or even answer. Wont buy a Tesla again and absolutely can`t recommend to buy one right now with the missing sensors and no alternative, even if you`re ok with the other common issues.
Damn sorry to hear. Yeah they so random about stuff
Thanks for the info. I have been hearing similar reports of customer service issues and build quality. I was considering buying but after watching this video I am looking into other options.
I honestly don’t understand Tesla in US. Europe and China factories are producing flawless cars. They really need to fix their gigafactories US 😢
Life's to short...just live your life. It's taken a while, but I totally agree with you.
I would never go to a Costco for gas. Its a good deal but my time is worth more. I sold my 2018 Tesla model 3LR last year for so I could get a newer one but the delivery date keep changing from late Feb to March to April but I have already sold it because of the great price Vroom would pay for it. I had to rent cars for a month until I gave up and bought a Acura MDX. The car is fine but its not a Tesla. The gas price was insane too. I just can't use this car as an everyday driver so I order a performance model y that's schedule to be delivered this this month. I hope they give me a good one lol
The worst service ever !!!! Love my Tesla that I bought in 22 but poor quality control. I think the service is probably the only reason I wouldn’t buy another one. Sorry to say other car manufacturers are coming out with electric car. So in the future I might consider another car with better quality and service. They never fix things correctly.
Damm bro no kids 😢great men should reproduce
Love my model 3 but it sucks that you have to pay a subscription to have apple music!? if they were to charge that, it (at a minimum) should have ALL the apps I get with Carplay and MORE... that part sucks big time.
Great review after 50,000 miles. I'm about to hit the same mileage also. I've only had my model 3 long range stay one time for service to replace my windshield that got a chip while driving. Other than that it's been better than any gas car I've owned.
Awesome!
Screw the car stuff - best wishes and hoping for Simba to get better soon !
Thanks so much
7 months. 15k miles. 2 minor issues. Rear glass crack and turn signal error. Easy fixes which only took a few hours at service center. 22 M3LR
not bad!
yes very telling that neighbor correctly pointed out tire wear, which is far greater than an ICE car on average, and thats the most toxic part of any car, so they pollute more overall. This is of course because they are very heavy, and wear out roads and bridges faster, too. Considering youd need to drive these atleast 50,000 miles to break even with ICE cars emissions, its really a case of "electric CAN be cleaner than ICE" but not in all scenarios.
I’ve drove my sister Honda CRV for few months but after sitting in my cousin model y I immediately fall in love hopefully I’m able to sell my 2019 Honda accord sport but I realize in my cousin he just step on the brake throw in reverse we’re gone to my relative food store but in my car when I need to go somewhere I have to wait it for warming up so that another reason why I want a tesla.
I ordered a model y LR. I had a problem with financing and I called Tesla customer service and I was on hold for 3 and a half hours. I ended up hanging up and called again the next day. After waiting another hour and a half, I gave up. Drove up to the service center and the rep there was SUPER helpful and fixed my issue in 10 mins. Now I'm all set to take delivery next week.
Awesome sorry for bad experience
The guy is meat riding Elon Musk so bad
I love meat 🍖
I own a Model 3 and here is my comment : Zero problems in one year 12,000 miles, drove from Los Angeles to Vancouver finding "SuperChargers" everywhere cost about $120 each way : End of Comment ~
I have have a Tesla 3 long range 2nd gen for 2 years and 2 months and 90k and never seen a service centre the in the uk you get the service team sitting at the super chargers so they fitted the o ring when I went for coffee.
I wish someone told me that the standard range model does not come with HW version 4 . I would have paid the minor difference in cost.
Really?? When did you get yours
@@EverydayChrisAround 4 weeks ago. It may not be a big deal to most people, but it would have been nice to know that not all Tesla Model Y's manufactured in the state of Texas come with the same HW version. I had a custom order and it would have been nice if the Tesla website specified the hardware version level of the cars. It appears to be a pretty significant upgrade based on a lot of the content that I've seen so far.
dirty petrol station lool
Good point, insurance is more expensive than ICE, depreciation ( 20% per year avg.) is faster than ICE/Hybrid due to the nature EV 1st Gen, and on top of the tires wear out much faster than ICE/Hybriad , $1500 set of 4 TIRES every 2500 miles. That's the the nature of 1st Gen and 1.5 Gen EV, due to automation and lower material ocst over time. Thus, hybrid doesn't seem too bad after all, wati till 2nd -3rd Gen stabilized the cost., then I reconsider EV.
Sure argue about a panel gap, or maybe a squeaky door all none real issues. I have taken delivery of a 2023 Ioniq 5 Long range AWD (limited equivalent - the car is in Canada )end of Oct 2022 and i still cannot Fast DC charge. I am heading back in 2 weeks for service to do more troubleshooting (4th appt), I do not hope for much. First service back in Early Dec when I discovered the issue, they ordered a CCS socket wiring harness took about 8 weeks for that to arrive and another 4 weeks to get the service appt. That did not fix the issue, took another week for service to call back, and said they could do another appt in 5 weeks to troubleshoot more, and that appt is about 2 weeks away. So at least a Tesla may not look finished but teh tech works and they know their cars, Hyundai, maybe ICE cars they fully understand but the technicians are not able to service their own EVs.
I’ve put about 22500km on my Model 3 Performance in 9 months. My biggest issues have been fit/finish (rattles and loose bits some of which have been fixed some not) and the hundreds of phantom brakes with autopilot and TACC. I’m not sure how long I will keep it but my next car won’t be a Tesla.
Did you switch your rims to induction? Or are those different hubcaps? And if you went to induction, did you notice anything different in ride quality or range loss?
I did a wheels video. It's replika wheels that have that turbine look. LOVE THEM
Fit and finish, body alignment, etc. these all PIA customers, it’s just a car…
cute doggies hjehehe. love the explanations. been thinking of buying tesla this year thanks for the info
I've loved watching your videos Chris as they are very informative for a new Tesla owner as myself. But you earn bonus points for being a huge dog loving family! First thing after I received my Tesla and inspected it. I folded the rear seats down, put in my all weather mats and put down a rear dog cover so I could take my 10.5 year old Chow Chow for a ride. He loved It! I wish you all the best time with your four-legged family members as it is never long enough. Sending good thoughts to your pooches!
Aww thank so much! Your chow chow is in good hands! Hope you and your family stay happy and healthy
you must live a very boring A to B local life. i travel 500miles every month on mini road trips to visit family and 3000 miles twice a year for vacation from east coast to west coast. if i drove an EV my aprox 3000 mile trip would take 2 WEEKs doubling not only my travel time but also my cost due to having to rent double the amount of motels to sleep.... due to all the obscene charging wait times, NOT only does it take almost 1hr to charge but often times theres a wait BEFORE even charging LOL total JOKE. ill keep my diesel for life.
@@bigbadbootydaddy616 Keep your diesel. That's the great part about being an American, you have choices.
@@tedlasalvia9668 WRONG by 2030 many states are banning and refusing to provide insurance on gasoline cars. in China you have to pay 15,000$! just to register a gasoline car (eco registration tax) and then you can only drive it from 8am to 5pm. if you drive it after these hours you get a 1000$ "fine" for polluting... If China is doing it you can bet USA canada and EU will follow.. there will be no choice and its becuase fools agree to buy, promote incurage these EV abominations. Did you know China owns 90% of the worlds chemicals and minerals required to build EVs? and theres only enough Lithium on the planet to replace 5% of the worlds vehicles... You know why NWO wants EVs so bad?? becuase they dont want people to drive and be mobile anymore.They want total control over majority of people. Evs are perfect. A: there wont be enough EVs for majorioty of people to have one, only the rich will drive. B: they can easily shut off the power and stop your movment during civil wars or protests. no power cant charge them. . ( gasoline you can stock pile gas and drive for months or years with out a gas station) C: again if you live in senior center apartments or highrise buildings you wont be able to charge them or not be allowed to own them. ( some stratas are already banning the instalation of charge ports being installed in there buildings)The Covid Hoax lockdowns were a TEST to see if people would tolerate having there mobility removed. These Evs are much worse for the planet. now we will clear cut forests to build Hydro plants, mine the entire planet for minerals, and set up nuclear power plants in ever city to produce more power. LA has rolling black outs durring the summer becuase of to many people using there Air conditoners, but you people think it will be fines with everyone pluging in these cars at 5 pm? LOL... EVs are a threat to not only freedom of choice and freedom of mobility but also life as we know it.
Ordered my model Y a few weeks ago to be eligible for the 7500 tax credit and take advantage of the price drop. Hopefully I made the right choice...
Hope u enjoy it! 🎉
That was a great decision, you will not regret it. Be sure to watch some youtube videos explaining all the features of a Tesla as like an Iphone, all are not readily apparent. Owning a Tesla is owning a computer that also happens to ba a car.🙂
Don’t you mean MY RUclips videos?? 🥹
@@rmkep Tesla is similar to apple but hey apple at least gives you a solution (albeit more money to them) rather than saying it’s “coming soon”. Apple removed the headphone jack, but give you AirPods. They removed all of the ports in the mac but theoretically the usb c can replace all of the function. They also don’t promise a feature and not delivering on it.
Tesla removed uss promising Tesla vision and it’s been 5 months now with no news about it.
