HOW MUCH I PAID FOR MY 2021 TESLA MODEL 3 (Full Cost Breakdown)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2021
- This video breaks down how much I paid for my 2021 Tesla Model 3. I've had my Tesla Model 3 2021 for two and a half months and this video goes through the full cost breakdown of what I paid. This video answers one of the top questions I get which is how much does a Tesla Model 3 cost? The Tesla model 3 cost depends on which model and features you choose, but the extra fees are what are often forgotten. I wanted to keep the Tesla monthly cost to be the same as my last monthly payment, so in this video I show you how to calculate your monthly cost.

subbed, fav thing is that its supposed to last 1 million miles, hopefully. makes the price worth.
That would be so great if all cars could start lasting that long! I’m excited to see how Tesla’s age over the next few years and how that compares to a gas vehicle.
@@carterajones agreed, your viedeo was well made btw i enjoyed the quality of description and story telling, it was just the right amount of things said for the tittle if the video.
@@carterajones I would also be interested in knowing how you are getting an 8% return on your money
@@carterajones help question I’m turning 18 this month and have two jobs with no bills except my phone bill am able to qualify for ti?

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
I never comment but this was the most direct and informative video ever done not a waste of time! I am Impressed just by that and I subscribed!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Success usually comes to those who are too busy looking for it. If you want a tesla, you don’t need to be rich to get one.
Very true.
I'm a Crypto investor, I bought a tesla very easy with just a week profit..
@@melpatriarca4498 easy like that. Wow.
I'm looking for a good broker to help me with my trades, any ideas?
@@biltoncharles5447 I would recommend Nura Carvalho he is a popular expert trader, and I trade with him.
You have the exact same configuration I plan to order. Excited to pull the trigger sometime soon. Congrats and thank you for this breakdown!
Cool! I’ve definitely loved it! Congrats!
Thanks for the video Carter! It's so great to hear that while Tesla is helping take care of a toxic pollution problem, they are also taking care of the toxic car buying experience that dealerships provide/inflict. I'm still about two years from buying a Tesla, but having driven one via Turo (highly recommend for anyone considering an EV), I'd say the best thing about driving a Tesla is simply the driving experience. They are fun, fast, handle great, drive comfortably, and are simply the best driving experience I've ever had...with no emissions to boot!
They are doing a great job. It was the best car buying experience I ever had!
Id take a scat pack tbh for several reasons i tried a tesla its fast but i just didnt find it as fun prob buy one in the future
Thank you for the detailed breakdown of the fees. I’m in NC also, so seeing exactly how the fees work out really helps in the financial planning of how much down payment I need to reach my desired monthly payment. Hopefully by the time I have my down payment ready, congress will pass the GREEN Act, and Tesla be included!
So glad I could help! And yes I totally agree! Any incentives to purchase EVs would help push the industry forward (any money off the purchase would be great 😊)
Thank you Carter for all your videos. This made the purchase process so much easier. Also, your other videos helped me to make a decision on which model 3 is most suitable for me.
So glad my videos were helpful! Congrats on your model 3!
Great video on added costs. Glad I found this review as I in the process of purchasing a Model 3 . Thanks again.

Good choice!

Great video! Well explained and you get to the point which i love!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Great Video. Congrats on your purchase, you will not regret it. We have an early Dual Motor Model 3. Three years almost 50k miles and still going like new.
Thank you! It's great to hear you've had a great experience. I love it and don't think I'll ever go back to an ICE vehicle.
Great summary. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Subscribed. Good info on the ease of purchase.
This morning I passed a white model 3 with the black out package, really looked sharp. I have been planning to get a Black model 3 with white interior like you but now I'm torn. :)
OOO the white one sounds cool too. I saw a white one where they blacked out the top half of the car (on the car itself too) and it looked like a supercar! I don't think you can go wrong with either color!
Subscribed. Appreciate the time taken to go over all the details. I am finishing up lease later this year and battling between Tesla y and vw id4.
So glad you enjoyed! I must say you can’t go wrong with the Tesla especially when it comes to the charging network. But I am definitely a bit bias 😊
Straight and to the point! Thankyou so much!!
Thank you. Tesla’s 2.49% is a significant incentive!
It definitely is a great rate! Better than most you can find elsewhere. It is a great perk of buying a Tesla
@@carterajones Dumb question but do you have to have high tier credit in order to qualify for that interest rate with Tesla
@@samanthajames9773 damn she ignored you

Very informative thank you miss
Very good review, simple and informative.
Thank you!
Just bought mine today! Didn't get accepted for a loan through them so I went ahead and bought it in full so excited to pick up
Congrats on your new Tesla!!
Why didn't they accept??
Thanks for sharing. Hope to have your next VLOG regarding monthly charging cost and home charging station
I have talked about this in other videos!!
Thank you for your direct answers to my questions:)
You are so welcome!
Can you make a video going over the Tesla's warranty? I would like to see how my car would be covered in the long-run!
That’s a great idea! I look into it!
@@carterajones Thank you!! It would make me feel more comfortable knowing all of my options. Also the whole service scheduling and maintenance costs of the vehicle can be scary.
Great video!! The room you’re in is pretty echo-y (and not even terribly so). What you can do to get better audio is to have the microphone closer to your mouth, or even tossing some rugs on the floor. Clutter is your best friend because it breaks up echo :). Just a couple tidbits from a filmmaker! Loved watching this!
Thanks so much! And lol it so is echo-y! It's not my typical filming space but my office is getting a makeover. Much better sound there. I'm thinking of getting a lavalier mic to help for when I'm not in my office. Any brands you suggest?
@@carterajones A lav mic would be great! Don’t worry about spending too much on one either - a mid-range mic will work wonders. Even using the in-line mic in Apple headphones helps for this reason (they don’t have amazing quality but get the mic closer to the sound source)

Insurance is another thing for folks to factor in. For me, it went up coming from an ‘18 Audi A6 to a ‘21 P3. It’ll vary per person and location as well. I typically pay more cause here in Colorado, we have hail storms every summer so our insurance is through the roof unfortunately.
So true. Insurance is so hard to compare to others since there are so many factors that go into it like location and bundled options.
I agree this is You will be glad you picked it. easiest ordering process i've had in many car purchases. Picked up my Model Y last July and still get a thrill driving it. My favorite feature other than the driving experience is the way the white interior surprises many people. It is easy to clean and hasn't stained yet.
Yes! I love the white seats for that reason too. They are so modern and clean looking. Glad to hear that they have held up for you for almost a year!
Thanks for sharing the video, wow what at nice car.. wish you the best with the channel.. I love everything about the tesla.

Finally someone who breaks down the financial side of when getting a tesla vehicle!!!! Can’t wait for my Tesla Model Y coming in less than 2 weeks
Congrats!
Very helpful. I am in the saving phase. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I’m picking up mine next week! It’s been super easy to buy and I didn’t have to pay above MSRP for a brand new one. I think I waited a couple months so far.
That's great! Congrats.
I just subscribed ☺.
I love how fun it is to drive.
Glad to have you! And I agree it is so fun to drive! It feels like driving a space ship!
Thank you for giving all info I need to know
I'm so glad you purchased the car when you did! Now the prices are crazy!!
For anyone about to buy, 2.49% is Teslas rate. If you email or call your sales advisor they can actually shop your rate with other Banks and get you something lower. I've seen people in my area get 1.99%
That’s awesome advice! They lower the better!
Just picked up my model 3 two days ago! I locate in Vancouver. We got $3000 from provincial government and $5000 rebate from Federal Government. So total $8000 CAD off.
Woah! That's awesome! That sounds like a deal to me. Congrats on the new car
How does he rebate from the govt work? Do they send you a check refund or do they give you a tax credit?
@@saevori4896 We got it two days after I applied for it through the Tesla website(basically I've just mentioneded which state/province I am in and the options will pop up). The money directly went to my down payment. I lease the car with a 7500 down pay plus transport fee, document fee and tax. the $8000 rebate covered most of the fees. So I didn't pay the total amount of the down payment at all.
@@saevori4896 This is just how I got the rebate from BC, Canada. I don't know how does it work elsewhere. but I'm sure you can visit or call Tesla to confirm.
Bro I got mine last year from QC. $8k+$5k rebate + $600 off wall connector as well. 🥳🥳
Enjoyed this video like the finance sprinkled in. DR reference was pretty funny
Thanks so much!
Helpful! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Subscribed and looking to buy on the east coast. I like the Ramsey reference but when you gotta get a car buying a old car vs new you only have one life
Sometimes you need to treat yourself a little.
This is one of my favorite Tesla channels. Straight and to the point content for every day consumers. No technical jargon
Question: the monthly subscription for internet access on the Tesla, is that something you will be subscribing to, based on how much you use that feature currently?
Thank you so much! You made my day! And yes I actually do have the monthly subscription. I like to use Spotify and live traffic visualization!
Internet is a flat fee of $10/mo in the US.
I love the way you delivered the content. Subscribed! ❤️
Congratulations on the new ride .
Thank you!
I like that you can chose exterior and interior colour.
It is great you get to pick!
Hello Ms. Jones. I was curious to see how you feel about the Tesla almost a year later. I have two vehicles, an older 220k mile Silverado and a low mile pleasure-driven Wrx STI. The truck is on its last leg, so I’m debating the Tesla as my next daily and was curious as to see some opinions of owners.
I loved it! Definitely go test drive one.
Great breakdown!
Thanks so much hope it helped!
I love all your videos 💚 keep it up
Thank you so much 😊
I have a Tesla and a Mercedes c class honestly I drive the Tesla all the time. I love the car it’s fast, quiet & fun oh and I never need to stop at the gas station ⛽️
That is one of my favorite parts.
Mercedes c class is a grandma’s car😂
Love the Dave Ramsey mention. I am with you. I even use his electronic budget software. ha! Saving for my down payment - June 2021!
I'll have to check out his electronic budget software! I haven't seen that before. But I'm definitely a huge Dave Ramsey and Graham Stephan fan
What do you do besides RUclips for your career ? This was a fantastic breakdown of purchasing a Tesla.
I’m a director of merchandising for a company
Very informative!
Glad you liked it!
One pedal drive is my favorite feature. I just don't think I can ever go back to a two pedal drive car again.
Yes! I totally agree. One pedal driving is much more natural
Forgive my ignorance, but what is one pedal drive?
@@daloliveira5209 You can accelerate and break with the same pedal. So you don't need to use the break pedal anymore.
@@daloliveira5209 Tesla's have regenerative braking. Basically you don't need to hit the brakes to make the car stop. So you can drive and stop using one pedal.
@@mahadi_irl Damn... really
cool
I just wanted to mention, since I didn't see it in the other comments, that if you want to get the free 1000 Supercharger miles by using Carter's referral link, you need to start your ordering process by clicking the referral link she has provided. If you go into the Tesla website and start the ordering process from there, you will not get the miles, and you can't go back and change that. I saw this tip on someone else's video, and so I started my ordering process from a referral link and it worked perfectly.
Thanks, Ann! I didn't realize that that is how it worked!
That's not completely true. I put my order in at a Tesla location a couple weeks ago and sent my "sales person" my friends code later that day since I didn't have it at the time. And then a different friend who's order had been pending for a couple months called in and added our code to his order. So 2 of my friends each got 1,000 miles and we got 2,000.
@@tasimp96 Oh, sorry for the misinformation. That's good to know.
My model 3 LR is coming next month I’m super excited! But totally wish I would have ordered sooner as seeing your price for yours vs mine now😬
I hope you enjoy your Tesla!!
Great info thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I’m hoping future SR+ VINs will have the full premium stereo system or at least the option to upgrade it from software. That’s the way it was on the SR MY (for the few weeks it was a thing)
Yes I agree that would make sense too for the price range of the car!
I’m hoping so as well
Great video! I placed an order a couple of weeks ago. Still waiting on a vin, not sure why it’s taking so long. I do like the experience of no hounding and spending so many unnecessary hours at the dealership. With that said, I wish Tesla was a LITTLE more in contact, though. They are almost too hands off and aren’t very good at order updates, etc
Yes I totally agree. It took forever for me to get a VIN too. The waiting is the worst part.
@@carterajones did your delivery date ever keep flip flopping? Sometimes showing a range of dates and then sometimes just going back to estimate like 4-5 weeks from order date
@@Deetroiter Yes mine did! Mine changed twice but then the final date was honed in 2weeks before I ended up picking it up
Same here, and it always takes a long time at the end of the quarter unless you luck out and your configuration is is being sent out to a showroom.
I am not sure about other places, but I have seen a lot of Model 3 standard range plus vehicles being sent to showrooms as existing inventory. My girlfriend is buying one of them. I am wondering if this is normal for end of quarter, or if it is where people have backed out of their orders to wait for possible EV tax incentive to be renewed.
@@bladesbigdaddy I live up the road from the factory and the showroom staff basically told me that depending where you live is when you’ll get it. Since I live so close, I’ll always get it at the end of production no matter what. It always takes longer to ship them elsewhere so that’s why they give priority first. Not how true it is but seems to be as far as I can tell
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Subbed, model 3 will be to small for me but, these Teslas are growing on me
Thank you for subscribing! I hope they make a larger SUV someday.
What did you do with your old car? Does Tesla take trade-ins or do you have to try to sell it or get rid of it some other way?
Tesla told me how much they would give me for it but I got more from Carvana so I sold it to them instead. I would shop around and see where you get the most money for it.
I am so excited to get my model 3 ! And love your videos they are so help . I’m just waiting to get my credit score to 700 so I can get the low apr . It’s 655 right now. Any advice to get the lowest apr?
That’s awesome! And I highly suggest Graham Stephan’s credit score videos if you haven’t seen them already 😊
@@carterajones thank you ! No I haven’t heard of him before . Did you have any issues with your Tesla when you first received it ? I’m nervous about that
No problem! I really like his videos and find them super helpful. And no I haven’t had any major issues with my Tesla thankfully. Luckily though if something is wrong you can call their support team to come out and take a look at it.
Interesting thanks for the video

Saving up for a Model Y currently, just waiting to see if the government is going to reinstate the EV Tax credit for Tesla this year, because saving 7,000 makes it a no brainer.
Agreed! Saving $7000 would be great! I bet a lot of people are waiting to see if they will as well.
Omg so smart! I was thinking of buying mine next week but I will wait now until they reinstate the EV tax credit
Why did they take away the EV tax credit ?
@@campanita6711 they didn't, it still exists, but Tesla and GM no longer qualify because they already sold over 200,000 EVs. The new bill would allow 400,000 more vehicles from both to qualify.
Nice informative video 👍
Thanks so much!
Thank you for helpful information. I decided to purchase model y too. When you confirmed tesla’s offer did you pay down payment at the same day or did you pay when they delivered?
Great choice! I believe I paid once I scheduled my delivery day or the day before picking it up. It's hard to remember.
Subbed...my favourite feature us the autopilot🙌🏽😁💯
The autopilot is great! I definitely use it all the time especially on highways
Great 👍
Thank you! I hope this video helped break down the cost.
Thank you for your video! Did you also install home charging or do you plan to use the Tesla super chargers?
I did not, I am using the charger that came with the car for now. I do use superchargers often.
Great video
Thanks for sharing, waiting to see if US extends EV tax credits for Tesla..
Yes I hope they do. That would definitely help push the EV industry forward
Query: if I did the cash option how does that work? I have a goodly amount that I can charge on my credit card but not $50,000 worth. Direct amount from my bank or some other method?
So for the cash option you would just have to pay the car off on the spot. If you have a ton of cash laying around that method works but for me because I have my money in stocks and make an average 8% a year on it, the 2.49% interest to take out the loan actually saves me money after the 6 years because the interest on the loan is quite low.
@@carterajones I have a chunk of change invested in a bunch of investments. When I purchase my car I will be tapping into money from the bank. I am enjoying you video blogs. It is helping with any Tesla worries I once had. I have done a test drive & I am planning to make my purchase in late April or early May....I was hoping to avoid winter snow ❄️ & resulting road salting. I have driven in NC ice storms but getting 6-8” of snow is something else. I appreciate your prompt answers...
That’s so exciting! And ah I got you. You could definitely go either cash or loan then just depending on personal preference. Glad my videos have been helpful!!
@@carterajones 😁👍🧙🏻♂️
I can tell you that Tesla will not let you put a down payment on a credit card, it has to be an ACH, cashier's check, or cash.
Really great video
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Good explanation. TY
Thanks for watching!
0:41 nice red door!
Thanks!
Funny how you mentioned Dave Ramsey and his hatred towards car loans/debt in general. I also listen to Dave Ramsey from time to time, but I can’t help but disagree with him when it comes to his views on loans and credit cards. Like you mentioned in the video, if the interest rate is low enough then there really isn’t a reason not to just finance the car.
Yes I totally agree! I do really like what he stands for though but agree that the loan and credit cards if used correctly can be beneficial.
Dave Ramsey also mentioned his dislike of Tesla and how he said Bitcoin was a terrible investment. Not everything he says is bad, but listening to the people calling in makes me feel better about myself sometimes.
@@michaelnguyen3461 Lol! Same!
@@carterajones He is just preaching to the masses. Unfortunately there are a ton of people who buy stuff on the spur of the moment digging themself a financial hole before they know it. I use credit cards all the time but pay them off monthly.
Wow, your experience is like thousands of other people, good for you
Hi Carter, I bought a used 13000 miles 14 months old M3 performance around 3 weeks ago. I am absolutely loving the car. I actually just fitted a couple of “SUPERCHARGED” 3D decals one to the left of the rear number plate and the other on the white consul bar adjacent to the passenger door. They’re just a bit of fun and a good conversation starter. I use RUclips a lot as I’m medically retired and have the time. I have only recently come across your good self, you give me some food for thought from a woman’s perspective. Rich
Congratulations on your M3!! Glad you're loving it. These decals sound pretty cool! I put decals on my logos on the car to make them matte black. Definitely adds some personality.
@@carterajones thanks I put my “supercharged” ones on as a joke as obviously there is no ICE therefore it’s impossible. So it’s a conversation starter and I just say “oh I just stopped at a Tesla supercharger to fill up” 🤣
Hey just a heads up when calculating how much you’ll make from the 40k compounding at 8% you have to account for withdraws. I ran it based of $600 monthly payments and found you would make about 11k in interest not 23k. After deducting taxes on an annual basis and deducting interest expense you should expect to have made 6k from having invested the financed amount as opposed to buying out right. Hope that helps!
Hey Abe! Thanks for explaining. What do you mean you have to account for withdraws? Are you calculating a (600 withdrawal rate q month) which leads to 11k and after tax of 6k after 6 years. If you let the 40k sit for 6 years with a 8% compound wouldn’t you just pay tax on the 23k? Looking forward to your response! Thanks man!
@@m1culture182 ya you hit it on the nail. Compounding at 40k vs compounding while making payments will lead to significant differences in projected earnings.
Thanks for the tips on the math! I wouldn't be taking any money out and would invest it all at once.
Another great work! How much more you end up paying from what was stated on the site? ie: monthly payment. I've heard you should add another $150-$250 a month on top of what was stated at purchase. Thanks in advance.
Hi Jose! Thanks so much. So on Tesla.com, it said my monthly payment would be $542/mo with $12k down and the final payment per month is $600
