I also own a model 3. I drive it to work 62 miles per day five days a week and it cost me about $45 a month to charge my car and I only charge from home. Very good content.
Thank you! I appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed!
$45.00/ year is our cost charging at Super off peak rates 1cent/kW.!!
Yes but what needs to be stated is that these numbers are way off depending on state and utility company. His insurance in new York would be about 2.5 -3x more then in FL for the Tesla. Also here the average price per kwh is around .27 - .28 cents per kwh compared to FL which is usually around .10 - .11 cents. It's a massive difference.
In my state peak hours is Mon-Fri 8am-9pm excluding holidays.
Off-Peak hours Mon-Fri 9pm-8am and all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays
That’s kind of high .
As an insurance agent, I'd like to add one thing. He's absolutely right about shopping around for the best rate. I'd reach out to independent insurance agents because they can run quotes with multiple carriers and come back with the best option for you. While the monthly rate is very important, PLEASE PLEASE don't sacrifice coverage for the monthly cost. A good agent will show you a well-rounded quote option that keeps your price as low as possible but also makes sure that you have what you need in the event of a claim. I can't tell you how many times someone went with a low limit, high deductible option because it was the cheapest price. At the moment, that's great, but when you have a claim, most people have issues. Think about your financial situation and make sure that you're choosing an option that covers you and doesn't break the bank.
Question. If you have half coverage. And some one rear ends you and you have it on dashcam. Does there insurance cover the cost for your vehicle?
@@josephb8499 yes as long as you were deemed to not be at fault. if you have liability only, which is not comprehensive and collision coverage, that ultimately pays for damage you cause to another vehicle. It will not repair your vehicle. However, since the other party was at fault, they will pay for it
@M he’s talking about insurance not the loan lol

If you’re financing $50k for a new car to save a few hundred dollars on gas, this isn’t about saving money, it’s just about wanting a Tesla. I love them too and thinking about ordering one but no one who spends 50K on a new car is doing it because of the $3.00+ gas prices.
Facts
And 99$ per month to get self driving access and updates and if you want self driving you pay that as upgrades 12000$ on the top of original price. There is no savings
It’s not just about wanting a Tesla tbh. My 2002 Nissan Pathfinder SE costs $60-70 to fill up PER WEEK. To make it even worse, that’s only driving to and from work everyday 5x a week for a round trip of 24 miles a day. And If I have to drive anywhere else, during that 5x a week period that means I’ll most likely be filling up *twice* in the same week, and that’s not even including the weekend. Gas at this rate will eventually cost me 4 grand a year. Not just a couple hundred, I guarantee you that. Everybody’s situation is different. At that rate I might as well have a car payment with cheaper charging prices instead.
@@libertyprime2852 Dont you Americans have access to economical ICE vehicles?
In the UK, and both our diesels get 50 and 55mpg?
Granted they're a modest 1.5 1.4 sized engines..
We do have access to economical vehicles. People just want to buy their expensive electric vehicles instead.
Thanks for the info I’m researching now so this and the comment crew are very informative.
I just ordered my Model 3. I am looking forward to receiving it. I work from home so probably will not charge a lot. I had a BMW I3 prior, and charged almost ever other week. I cannot wait to get my car 🚗! I appreciate your information.
Great Vid Mikey! Like a real host for a show and stuff. Im impressed.

My experience with the Model 3 is that the standard 110 V charger is all I need. Since I'm retired I don't drive very much, so a charge to 85% gives me enough juice for about a week. At 6 mi per hour, the charging is slow but that has never been an issue. I figured out that my total cost to date is a whopping $17.05! With 849 total miles and the average gas price of around $3.20 per gallon, that works out to 159.29 mpg! I didn't get the Tesla to save money but it's a nice benefit!

How you buying a Tesla is a good decision since you are retired and do not drive much? You super overpayed the car and in order to "get your money back" you need to drive at least 300 000 km to kinda break even.....You only bought it because you like it and that's it. Bringing up $17 you paid makes no sense if you consider the big picture
@@darko6075 For starters I didn’t overpay for the car. The price has gone up thousands since I bought and the resale is higher than what I paid. As I said, I didn’t get it to save money. I wanted the technology and I like the design enough, but I would add that I hate the front end! Commenting on my cost to operate makes total sense because that’s the theme of the video, and most readers want to hear about that. A point that I didn’t mention is that insurance costs are somewhat higher on a Tesla because they are expensive to repair. I never see anyone talking about that.
I paid $8000 for my car and get 36 mpg average, it'll take you 35 years to break even with my cost 🤣
The charger the Model 3 comes with is actually a 110 and 240. The cord can charge at both. You just get the adapter from Tesla. So you have use the provided charger and charge quickly. My adapter since my outlet is a 10-30 was around $40 or so.

This was exactly what I wanted to know, thank you!...I already ordered my Tesla, but wanted some real numbers of what I can expect once I get the car...I also have Progressive but will look at other options once I get my VIN and am able to do that...This was very helpful...
Congrats on ordering your Tesla!! I’m glad this was helpful! That’s what I was hoping for! Definitely look around and get multiple insurance quotes! You never know who will give you the best rates. If you have any questions let me know!
tesla insurance is 50 a month for me, depending on your safety score ofc
@@HungHuynh-vj3ro Do you live in CA? I don’t think Tesla insurance is anywhere except CA and TX. I wish it was because I’d highly consider it!
@@MikeAmiel I'm currently in Texas!
@@HungHuynh-vj3ro Nice! $50 a month sounds awesome!
Thanks for the information. I hope I am able to order a model x by next summer
Very good cost analysis. With the price of gas at around $5 a gallon nationwide, the savings really add up fast!

Even if I was paying $5 a gallon my car would only use $1500 a year more in fuel
My car also cost $35000 less than a Tesla so it'll take 28 years for a Tesla to break even lol
I can tell you for a fact a Tesla is not living that long and the battery is gonna need a $22000 replacement at least once in that time, there's much cheaper ICE cars with good gas mileage that end up costing half of what a Tesla does over the lifespan of each vehicle, until a model 3 is under $30k new, it's not worth it
Plus what happens in severe weather and there's no power for days? Gas stations have backup generators and I can still get gas
Thanks for this video! 😊
Saved 1700 from changing the insurance for different insurance and old insurance company said they will increase 700 extra for 6months.. since 2021 Y due to it’s expensive to repair…
2021 x5 and y saved 1700 for 6months definitely need to shop around the insurance for sure! Paid around 100 per month and 100 dollars for y full covers.
Your Y is made of steel so it’s cheap to fix

If I buy a Tesla, I can charge it at work with a 110 outlet and it wouldn't cost me anything.
I would try to get a Level II charger available at work. Some 110 outlets are 12 amps but some are 20 amps. If you can also charge with 120 volts overnight at home that would help.
You work at a place that's not normal to 99.9 percent of workers. Grats tho, I'd consider it as well
I work at a public school.
If you are only driving to and from work, that might work.
But only adding 4 miles of range per hour really cuts down on how far you can drive day after day without going to a faster charger.
Great review 🏎
Usually if you buy a new car your insurance extend coverage for 15 days - 30 days. Really depends on the insurance company.

im 22 and really want a tesla for the convenience, ik that cars alot for my age and especially since i work a few bucks over minimum wage, but im planning on putting 15-20k down. i drive about 60-80 miles a day, so it would be VERY beneficial. ill maybe give it another 6 months to a year but i feel like it would be great, especially if im going to keep it for many many years.

Great video! Can’t wait to get mine! 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks!! You’ll be enjoying yours soon enough!!
Thanks. I got mine as a birthday gift 🥳
That’s a great gift!
I pay 13 cents per kilowatt hour of charging in my garage. It is a Clear Creek Level II charger with 40 amps of 240 Volts running to it. Because I only have 100 AMP service to my town house, I have a gas cooking stove and oven, and a gas heated clothes dryer so that I have plenty of extra amps for the car charger. (My hot water heater is electric. If it were gas I may have run a 50 amps line to my garage for the charger instead of the 40 amps. Although the 40 amps that I do have does add about 22 miles of range per hour--that is adding 220 miles of range for 10 hours of charging over night.
Thanks bud! Super helpful. You should’ve sliced some shots of your car in the edit

3:00 0 My insurance for my Tesla Model 3 (bought in 2018) was LOWER than it was before with my 8 year old VW TDI (Diesel) Jetta. So definitely shop around insurance. Some companies will charge less because Tesla's have such amazing safety, others will charge more because repair cost is high.
Thank u for making this video
Some Charge Point stations are free. You just need your J1772 adapter and the charge point app. You see these mostly at colleges and work that may provide free for their employees. Charging at home for me is $0.16 a kw. Peak hours aren’t cheaper, just less demand on the house. Florida doesn’t give a discount price during off peak hours. Super chargers around here are $0.38. Already I see a difference, my wife used $120 a week on gas, driving 70 miles a day. Last week she spent $45 on charging on a super charger, only because we needed an extension cord for our charger at home. Got it, and now only charge at home. Hopefully that $45 a week will be cut in half.
Great video thank you
I have a diesel truck! Which diesel is High here in Texas! Just spent $100 to fill it up!! I’m definitely leaning toward EV!
Yeah the cost of gas was definitely a big factor in my decision. I can only imagine with diesel. There are going to be more and more options coming out for EV trucks!! Worth looking into!
Rivian and Ford have interesting looking EV pickup trucks if you're looking for a replacement.
I’m trying to get one soon, I do doordash a lot as a job now so it’s ideal to have a Tesla, I spend $40-80 a week on gas so a Tesla would be a huge money saver
is doordash worth it ??? thinking about doing it
You forgot folks who're buying a tesla as their first car. For a lot of the apartment buildings, this adds, in parking charges, 50-75$ per month in the best case, and for high end apartments, around 100-150$

Thanks Mike
My model 3 is a long range dual motor. It takes 75 KWh to charge the battery to full. In San Diego there is an EV rate plan for your home power. It reduces the KWh to $0.08 a KWh from 12am-6am. I charge during those times only. On Sat and Sun it’s 12am-2pm so I can charge longer. That runs me about $6 for 350 miles of charge. Now that mileage varies depending on how you drive. But since Tesla claims a 350 mile range on full battery that’s an easy math conversion. Just find out your cost per KWh and multiply by your battery’s KWh. Simple
I just bought the $40 adapter from Tesla and use the provided cord to charge in my 240 outlet. I get 24 miles per hour. That depends on my 240 outlet since it’s a 10-30. For those of you who don’t know what I’m saying the easiest way is the shape of your 240 outlet. The fastest is a 14-50 which is 45 miles per hour. Mine is plenty for me.

Very good video.
I just sold my car which had a similar payment that your Jeep had, so this is a really good comparison. The approximate $300+ will be offset by the savings in gas, but not that much. Still debating whether to order the car or wait for the Cybertruck (for reals).
I'm in the same boat my man!! Can't decide on what to do! Now I am reading though that the price of the Cybertruck might go up when it's released!
NICE VID!
One thing to keep in mind, at least when I looked at the options, is the Tesla leases don't offer the ability to purchase the car at the end of the term. Most other leases give you that option. Except for very specific business cases, a car lease is the most expensive way to "own" a vehicle - mainly because you never own it - you are just renting. The flexibility to trade in your car for a newer one at the end of a lease is very nice, but you do pay a premium for that. With that, EVs are changing so fast these days that getting a lease might be a less terrible financial decision than normal.
Yes, I’m looking to lease rather than buy. For 25 years I’ve always purchased used cars with limited warranties and long loan terms 3-4 years or even more! which I now realize is simply ridiculous. Older cars come with their own challenges as far as repairs and maintenance costs and I’m so sick of constant costly repairs after hitting 100k miles, or just after warranties run out. I don’t mind paying a bit more per month and I only live half a mile from my work so restriction on miles per year won’t be an issue. I do like the idea of upgrading every 3 years or so and I’ve wanted an EV since they’ve been in production. My 25 yo son bought a Ford hybrid and really likes it. He does all his charging at his house and spends very little for gas, I think he can go about 400 miles before filling up. I’m still doing a lot of research; I don’t plan on doing this until my current vehicle is paid off then my youngest will be 16 and I plan on letting him drive that. I’m leaning towards the Y but still researching.

And depending on which state you may also have to pay a lot more for vehicle registration renewal. I went from paying $130 for a Honda Accord to $630 for a Model 3.
omg what state do you live in
That’s probably the only downside, regular cars use gasoline which have a road tax included in the price per gallon m. Ev cars don’t use gasoline therefore the registration fee is higher to compensate for that.
@@trumpetmasta92 some BS there
Several states charge more for car tags for electric vehicles. Their justification is you’re not contributing to the taxes they collect on gas sales. They’re gonna get their money somehow 😡
@@bgaviator Drive as a travelled under Global Citizen and don’t pay shit.
How much is maintenance cost? How often is maintenance needed?
I just switched my Tesla model 3 insurance company and total 12 month premium is $936 for normal coverage at MA.
For my Mach-E in December 2021 I traveled 969 miles and it cost me 41 dollars estimated, plus my electric company gives me a discount for charging on off peak hours which will be credit on my electric bill. So that $41 from my charge-point app will be less. When I have to go into the office it’s 68 miles to and back from work, at times I was paying $200 in gas. So for me EV is saving me money. Plus all the crazy tax credits and checks I’m still getting in the mail. Maryland just sent me a $700 check for switching from ICE to EV so many different programs you can search for some are hidden.
Really thinking about picking a model 3 up. I work as a security guard at a gated apartment community and we have the chargers in the garages how ever I was speaking with my boss and he said I would be able to plug my charger that it comes with and then plug somewhere in the garages where I won't be blocking any cars and basically would never have to pay for gas or to charge it again
110v charger is Very Slow 🐌. Only replaces 5 to 7 mph of range. A 240v charter replaces about 30 mph of range. The community chargers are probably level 2 chargers / 240v
@@jasons7044 My boss was able to convince the office to give me some kind of compensation if i patrol in my car around the property. We have golf carts but the battery holds about an hour then its empty. so They agreed its cheaper to give me $10 extra a week in my paycheck than pay for replacement carts.

Thanks to Tesla’s cost savings in fueling (estimated to cost $20 per 300 mi) and I got $3500 in tax incentive, it’s worth increasing your car budget by $10k. Not to mention the vehicles are high quality and highly sought after making them retain most of their value. I can currently make $6k in profit selling my model 3 AWD ($53k after taxes goes for $59k)

Local electric rates vary by a lot, well over a 500% variance in the USA. Add in battery charge life based on weather and drive conditions. Finally, road taxes are mostly today collected through fuel per gallon. This will probably change to miles driving with electric since charging isn’t a fixed point that can be taxed reliably. None of this is even discussed with EVs.

I drive a leased Chevy Bolt. I am 71 and State Farm charges me $464 twice a year for 500/500 deductible. I have been with State Farm since I was 16 years old. I asked them what it would cost to insure a Model Y: She asked the price of the vehicle and said about $750 twice a year--she emphasized that this was only an estimate. I assume it will be at least $800 twice a year. I hope we have Tesla Insurance here in Iowa by the time October 2022 arrives as my Model Y is scheduled to be delivered then as well.

I financed half the cost of my Model 3 so my monthly payment is around $450. My electric is tied in to my rent and I’ve seen about a $20 increase with charging at home. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge on a 32A. And I drive at least 60+ miles almost every day and never have issues with range or finding a charger. My insurance when I got the car was almost as much as the car payment because most insurance companies don’t know how to deal with EVs. I recently switched to Tesla Insurance and I’m only paying $100 for the first two months and with the Safe Driving Score Beta my payments after are projected to be around $75 a month. Overall I’m paying WAY less than I was with an ICE car. The monthly costs and maintenance were insane! And it started crapping out after 50k miles and would’ve had to replace the engine they said. Teslas don’t have many moving parts so there’s less to go wrong over the life of the car which should be factored in to the cost also. You’re buying a longer lasting car for around the same as an ICE car but without the oil changes and fuel costs and buying engine parts.
Wow! That's a great price for insurance now with Tesla Insurance. I can't wait for Tesla to expand that to Florida! Hopefully soon!
I paid $2,400 cash for my used 1993 320E, pay $250 in insurance costs every 6 months, pay about $50 in gasoline a week. Maintenance is mostly oil changes, tire rotations, etc.. I’ll stick with the ICE, hard to beat on price. Cheers.
What car did you have where the engine crapped out after 50k miles?
@@flyleaf2184 That’s your choice. You’re comparing a $2,400 car that’s almost as old as me to a $41,000 brand new fully loaded luxury car so if you’re trying to save money great but I like to be comfortable and not have to worry about it breaking down. I had a $1,500 car that gave me a lot of issues and a $17,000 that gave me even more and then “traded up” to a $40,000 that still gave me issues. I took care of all of them but things just go wrong with ICE cars because of all the moving parts and upkeep required. You’re also paying a lot for insurance and gas over the life of your car.

Our Model Y is extremely cheap to own. We were fortunately able to pay cash for it, so no monthly payment. And we have solar panels on our house, with a monthly electric bill of $8.20 per month (only paying taxes and fees). The only thing we pay is the insurance, which is $120/month for 2 drivers. We’ve also been fortunate to have free supercharging for 2021 because we bought our car in December 2020.
That’s amazing! I’m jealous of that insurance. Sounds like you have a great setup! Thanks for watching and sharing!
Everyone thinks Tesla’s are so expensive and difficult to own. Really once you purchase the car it’s not expensive to maintain and they are very easy to drive.
Great setup! You are fortunate in many ways.. esp these days! ENJOY, vrooom vroom! :) ~ Stay safe & be well.

The question to ask is. What is the monthly payment, Auto insurance and maintenance. When do we get to the break even point To owning an EV.
So does the cost of the electrical connections tend to not need the special wiring on the plug in from home?
Tesla price went from $44Cad to $60.00 CAD this year. Previous year it only cost minus the incentive $55k.

How’s everyone’s thoughts on the white seats? Im looking to get one and thinking black seats my look funny with the white exterior?
Insurance $57 per month through State Farm. Electric bill has gone up about $35.
Thanks! That’s a great price for insurance and also great on your electric. How much driving do you typically do a day?
@@MikeAmiel I haven’t had a accident or ticket in 35 years, so that helps with the insurance. (knock on wood). I drive roughly 300 miles per week.
@@scottp4862 Yeah that’ll definitely help! Thanks for following up!
I like the "long distance road trip" that from Florida to south carolina. What was that 6 hours? Hahahahaha
The more you drive the more you will have to pay it's like .65 a minute to charge so It's really does add up
M3LR, 55k Post Tax. Make at least 150k Gross as a household. If you meet that, you will comfortably afford the car.
Mike I find your videos very informative, but as to the charging, 17 or 18 Dollars to charge only relates to how many miles the corresponds to. Keep up the good info. thanks.
Same thing I thought when I saw those numbers; how many miles was the car driven each month?

I was looking into buying one but wanted to know more about the process. If i have to have great credit or how much would i have to put down etc..
Good video, I suggest to re-title it and make it clear that this is based on your personal experience, you work from home and you have free supercharing miles, that's very specific to you. Thank you for sharing your experience though.

Wow I can’t believe the insurance cost increase!
No, the cost keep going up on the purchase price, so it’s becoming realistic for a lot of buyers. Great car though….just crazy prices.
I’m spending $900 just on gas for my Charger which is a V8. This is not even my car payment and insurance. I’m also in cali, really thinking about getting a Tesla.
Does the AC & HEATING system drain the battery faster ?
After I find the monthly rent and get something to eat, I'll think about it.
What is the coveraged of your insurance?
What’s the maintenance since there’s No more oil changes, or emissions?
How do you charge while living in an apartment?
The model 3 I ordered will have a lower payment than just putting gas in my truck. I'll miss the truck, but I can't wait for delivery next month.
That’s awesome! Enjoy!
@@MikeAmiel I will!
Any computer can be hacked including an automobiles, now think about that and look up drive by wire where you'll soon find that someone could remotely take control of the speed, the brakes and the steering of your car while you're driving it.
Hello, I'm thinking of buying a tesla, how much does it cost to charge the tesla at a charging station, or how is the charging system for minutes or mpge, thanks
Mike good info BUT here is what is coming! In California they are going to start charging a mileage fee for electric cars every year when you tag it. Did anyone really think California was going to let all that gas tax money disappear? And PGE is going to start charging a monthly hook-up fee from solar to their grid.
Wow! Thanks for the info! I knew increases would come like this but I didn’t think it would happen until the EV market was much further along.
Very well put video. Straight forward and to the point. Thank you so much Mike. I make similar EV videos as well on my channel.

I wish I had a Tesla model 3 I really want one
Payment/ insurance is just basic payments on vehicles.
How do you charge in an apartment? Do you have a garage? Did the apartment complex allow you to install a level two charger?
The apartment building does have a garage for all the residents. There are outlets around the garage so I can plug into those and charge. There’s about 10 EVs in the building and we have asked for chargers to be installed but the management company has ignored our requests.
Few things to note. The charger that comes with the Tesla can do 110 and 220 volts. Just need the adapter and the outlet. My wife Ubers with our Model 3, drives 150miles a day easy. We spend roughly $145 a month on charging cost, those same miles if driven on a ICE vehicle would translate into around $545 a month on gas prices. Each city varies with gas/Eletric rates. We were able to get our insurance down to 100 a month. Tesla offers a lot of perks. Especially now with gas prices rising. It makes a lot of sense to own an EV car in general.
$545 a month? What is the gas guzzler ? A Chevy suburban ?? 😂
@@tpike32 Im currently spending around $ 700 gas monthly driving for Uber with a Civic Hatchback
@@kauepereira6 umm no . If you are a Uber driver . The customer is paying for your gas . Technically you are paying nothing
I like the SUV looking one..
How much did you average paying for gasoline on your ICE vehicle? Comparing these 3 costs against each vehicle would be helpful. The Tesla will end up being more expensive but is offset somewhat by the equity you retain in it as a purchase vs a lease. Also, how much did you "put down" on the Tesla?
I was averaging roughly $120-$150 per month in gas. Yeah the equity right now in these vehicles is crazy! They definitely hold value well! I put down a little under $3k if I recall correctly. I made another video on ordering my Tesla which shows the order process.

Watching another Tesla channel and seeing how people disrespect Tesla Cars and Drivers, I think I will wait awhile.
