You should not be trading cars (of any brand) every 2-4 years because it wastes so much money. I don't know who convinced people to do this, I'm sure it made THEM a lot of money but it not good for ordinary men and women.
This really took off during Covid when used cars became so expensive bc no one could find a car. I’ve done it a few times situationally because the family grew etc. but we still have vehicles from 01 that we use for emergency or carrying things around in.
Quick summary is that is not buying a different car brand but is keeping same Tesla's as depreciation is through the roof so might as well get money's worth. Will be interesting to see if has a change of mind when Juniper or new better cheaper Tesla comes out.
I really do not believe you will not buy another tesla because if you make another youtube video in late 2025, no one is going to really care about the old hardware.
If you go tesla you can´t go back... atleast until the competition cathes up. But at this rate... Il´ ve retired and problably need another kind of wheels 😅
Here is my situation. The latest build of FSD v12.5.6.3 has spoiled me so much I no longer drive more than a couple of hundred feet a day to park the car. The rest of the time FSD is driving for me. No way I could go to another company unless they have a car that is autonomous. That will be several years.
thanks andy been watching your videos since 2022 they are always well done and helpful. congrats on your success with you Tesla’s I have a 2022 Model Y and I love it. keep the vids coming I look forward to them
The depreciation on old Teslas doesn't make sense when you consider how fresh they have been kept with software updates. My 2018 LR RWD (same as yours) is mechanically like new and looks practically new also.
I prefer having no car payments on my 2019 model 3 and 2023 model Y. That said was looking to upgrade my model 3 and hand over to my oldest daughter, but I’ll wait till she’s done graduating college next year.
@ fortunately no reported issues on my 2019 model 3 with 91k miles. Or 2023 model y with 27k miles Only been through one set of tires and 2 cabin air filter replacements on my model 3. My wife used to own a 2022 ionic 5 that got totaled after one year . We had several Issues with using EAs charging network was not as reliable as Tesla‘s. So switch we back to A Tesla for her second EV.
@@lukeav6097yeah, you get way more time spent fighting to get a charge on a road trip, way more charging costs & way more frustration from inferior tech.
@@lukeav6097 Weird you're trying to argue with someone who currently owns and drives multiple Teslas. Do you think that Tesla owners never driven anything else in their lives and aren't capable of comparing with other car brands? Do you actually spend your time going through Tesla channels spreading hate? I'm very curious.
I agree with your points. Especially now that the auto insurance premiums have doubled here in California in 2025. It will force people looking to upgrade to hang on to their Teslas longer and those on the fence looking to getting a Tesla may reconsider and stick with their ICE vehicles.
Bought my first Tesla around April 2022, new. Took delivery December 2022. About $65K for a LR M Y dual motor 7-seat. A year or two later that same exact car now costs $37.5K new. Lesson learned. My bad. Used cars or nothing now.
I feel ya brother. Bought a model Y performance in 2022 as well waiting on Cybertruck. Took a $30k loss and now can't get my Cybertruck. No more new vehicles.
I paid 62,000 for my 2021 model Y performance and with tax it came to 67,000 bucks 😮. After 3 years and 65,000miles I asked Tesla what it was worth in value and Tesla said 21,500 bucks😢 I will never buy a new Tesla. As a matter of fact, I recently purchased a 2021 model S that was a lease from Tesla with 30,000 miles for 52,000 dollars which when new was around 96,000 bucks. I saved a lot ! Depreciation is brutal on Tesla cars😮
I’m sorry, but there’s a significant difference between my new M3P and my last 2019 one. Like consumer devices, they’ve already started limiting which cars can receive certain updates.
My son totalled Model Y Performance & straightaway with Insurance check bought Model 3. Used model Y for 3 year , Never had a single problem with iPhone App, For 3 year my mobile was my key, also can use mobile app from any where in the world, also Tesla map , journey planner etc are super good , Battery & charging also have no match in USA. The shape is old that’s why I never bought new Model Y, Tesla needs to upgrade to new model.
Test drove the Cybertruck and X recently, and when I got back in my Model Y and drove it off the lot, I realized that Model Y is the best Tesla vehicle.
I'm driving a M3 and I think the only car I would consider switching to is a Model Y. I'm secretly hoping that one day my M3 can just become a robo taxi then I can justify buying a model Y. Though still having doubts that HW3 and/or the lower resolution cameras can keep up.
this year have bought a used 2021 Tesla model 3 and plan to keep it another 3- 4 years then will get a 3 yo 2025 Model Y and probaly keep it as long as i can drive
Thank you Andy. I want to continue to see the longevity of the cars, there are enough people that are covering the new cars. I plan to drive mine into the ground as well.
What a great advertisement for owning a Tesla! Apart from the whole industries issue with depreciation (solved by long term ownership or buying a second life Tesla) what's not to like‽
I bought a 2nd hand Tesla that already had a battery replacement so I could ease into the new era of EV’s and learn the ins and outs and get on the environmental bandwagon of responsible earth stewardship… FAIL!! The 2nd battery died within 2 years (just after the warranty expired!) and then the motor died, too, after I had sunk more money into upgrading the onboard computer, suspension (Tesla wouldn’t safety-check otherwise), 12v battery, new door mechanisms, as well as tires, etc… So I will also never buy another Tesla! Their trade-in offers were insulting and they would accept no blame for the terrible build quality of their vehicle… Did I just get a lemon? Perhaps, but still..
1:25 noted your Marion, IL charging, LOL I was there back on April 8th (with about 50 other Tesla's trying to charge at the same eight chargers (only time I had to wait for a charger)) for the Eclipse. Small world.
After the price drop on the Model Y’s. It makes no sense to me to trade the MYLR for anything else. I’ll keep it until I retire. Will see what up then. I love the car. It’s the best daily I had ever own.
EV will transform the entire industry due to their longevity. 400,000+ miles are being recorded on the original batteries- and the newer batteries will prove to be more reliable. Prices on EV will continue to fall- Tesla stock skyrocketed because they reduced the cost to manufacture by 20% in 2024. The cost will be even lower in 2025...2026. Any other manufacturers os gas/hybrid reducing their prices?
What appeared to be an anti Tesla turned out to be a solid endorsement of the products from a keep them long term perspective. We also have 2 Tesla's at home. A 2024 refreshed Model 3 DM and a 2018 Model X 100D. We had both leased Tesla's in 2021 (M3, MY) and so were not impacted by price changes or value depreciation for those cars. We purchased my wifes 2024 Model 3 and I bought the Model X from Tesla's used vehicle site. My wifes M3 refresh DM was actually less expensive that her 2021 single motor. The amazing deal was the Model X. It is a 6 seat X with 49K miles in great condition for $39,900. It had EAP which I upgraded to FSD for an additional $2K. That's $43K all in for a vehicle that sold new in 2018 or over $150K. It carries a 1 year full warranty and another two years for the battery and drive motors. I love driving the X and it is by far the best deal I've ever had on a vehicle in my long life of vehicle ownership. I feel for the individual who paid what with all the options was actually closer to $160K (6 seat, upgraded wheels, EAP) and lost over $100K in the trade-in to Tesla. Most non-Tesla people who have been in my X have thought it was a new car. It is certainly a lot of car for what I paid and like you, my battery is in that 93% capacity or 275 miles of range.
What's it like to deal with slow charging and battery replacement before trying to resel combined with depreciation? Do you think NIO batery swap is viable?
Excellent Review. My Model 3 is 6 years old with 13,000 miles on the odometer. Solar roof on house. Only repair cost 12 volt battery $85.00. Have hepa cabin filter for summer 2025. Will flush & install myself. Great last car.😊
You sure don't drive very much with those low miles. You should get out more and go on some adventures. I have a 2023 (March build) Tesla Model Y LR with 25,000 miles. The computer that controls the screen was freezing up and was replaced earlier this year. I have home charging and use the superchargers as needed on long road trips. The car is so fun to drive it almost seems like it gave me a reason to explore more. I love the one pedal driving. My daily commute round trip is less than 10 miles, so I've put on the extra miles by going on weekday and weekend road trips.
Good job on the kids, but ya still supposed to have 1.5 pets buddy 🤪. Thanks for the video. This confirms that I can get a used Tesla cheap, but need to be wary of the repairs.
I know you provided the dealership trade in value of your two Teslas. I would be interested to know what the private seller re-sale value is on your Model 3 and your Model Y.
I sold my model Y last year and I’m selling my model X next week. I used to be all-in. Two Teslas in the garage, power wall, solar, Tesla stock portfolio. The main reason I won’t be buying another Tesla… They have become uncool. I’m actually embarrassed to drive it. More importantly, they haven’t launched anything interesting in several years. I love my 22 model X, but they could have done a lot more to differentiate it from the 2017 model X that it replaced. It was a lazy refresh and it’s clear that Tesla is no longer interested in their premium vehicles. If the design of the cyber truck and taxi is an indication of their next wave design approach, then I’m out for good. Car design should seduce, not repulse. The design looks silly, and the quality has taken a massive step backward.
Good afternoon! I wanted to see if you would field this question for me. I recently had my air conditioner system replaced. I brought it into the service station and they said my air conditioner compressor grenaded causing the destruction of my air conditioner lines as well as the manifold. I asked if this happens every time or if this was a faulty design. He did not have much of an answer and since I am over 100,000 miles on my car I had to pay for the complete repair of over $3000 for my air conditioner system, has anyone else had this problem? Thanks
thanks for the vid, I referred and received charging credits. Now after a year they expired and removed them.. thanks tesla... so I dont refer anyone any more.
@@lukeav6097The newer models are all pretty much the same. There's Tesla's on the road with over 500,000 miles on them. I plan on keeping mind as long as possible. Who cares if the value goes down. Plus I paid 30k for mine. 20k miles on ut with a brand new battery. I'm good for many many many years.
@@markp911 I did a search on autotrader for the highest milage cars for sell in the nation. I didn't find a single Tesla over 300,000 miles. Mostly, toyotas and full sized sedans were over 300K. What does that tell you?
Excellent video- and your take on "why replace" was Elon's vision all along. Longevity just adds up to better for the environment. Most young people will only purchase 2 EV in their lifetime...due to their extreme longevity. Think about how much money that will save them over their lifetime.
@@lukeav6097 Tesla have only been built for what, 14 years? The weak link is indeed the battery, and the numbers are ever increasing of owners that have 300,000+ miles on those old Tesla batteries. The batteries made today are much better than those that are lasting 300,000 miles!
I can't buy one in my state due to dealer protection laws. If they came out with a self driving two door sedan for urban transportation I would buy that though but it better be offered in 2025 as that is the year I move to an electric car.
Question: I have a M3 2018 like yours. It has been over 6 years and I see where the AC should be service. Did you get yours serviced for the AC? If not why and if you did I would like to know your thoughts on this? I have under 50k miles on mine. It is over $600 to get it done. I am planning on keeping it for another 4 years or more.
So the reason you arnt going to buy a new Tesla is you already have two that are paid off....I agree with the depreciation, doubt I'd buy another new one again.
Paid $56,300 and today its worth $28,000! What is the cost today of a new model Y? Its not the cost at purchase, it's the rapid depreciation that is the problem. No matter the price, 50% loss of value in a year and a half is not normal. Especially when we know the cars popularity. Its telling me there is very little aftermarket for used EVs perhaps due to the battery life expectations by an ignorant public. EV buyers are a more intelligent group VS the gasoline mouth breathers.
Lmao should off leased then, if you are going to keep the car for 8-10 years don’t even think about resell value. And then a new battery pack at 6k will be a steal to keep that car running
That was due covid macro market conditions which drove up the costs of everything. Then the market returned to be more normalised. Not to mention Hertz unloading their purchases of Tesla's for other reasons
@@robertbrandywineLeasing is a far better idea than purchase but i drive nearly 20,000 miles a year. What is the milage penalty on the lease for exceeding 10k?
I didn’t really watch your video but I recently took delivery of 2024 model 3 performance to be used as my daily driver. I did black on black and got custom interior modification to change the white cloth materials to black Alcantara and red seat belts. Forged carbon inserts, UP lowering springs, hubcentric spacers and I’m loving it. And I come from a garage with Ferraris and Lamborghinis and I’m absolutely loving this for my daily. Not to mention it’s probably the quickest car I have off the line. We can’t get a plaid here in Australia but I think the new model 3 performance looks way better especially with the mods I’ve done. It’s literally the perfect daily so I think you should just get one.
ANDY - then SELL all your Teslas & STOP making Tesla content. you may also want to leave the USA, because TRUMP &DOJ is cracking down on WOKE MUND virus.
With regards to repairs, you clearly have had it good with tesla spare keys for my Volvo xc40 are 600 bucks AU YOU will Wake up when you realise other EV makers have trapped you back in service hell. But you probs wont make videos about that
The rumor is that you can buy a new Model Y for $30,000. If so, it's hard to believe that your 2 year old Model Y would still have a $25,000 residual value.
Nonsense, Tesla is offering 0% -4% loans depending on credit. A lot of your reasons are very weak. The new model 3 is an amazing drive compared to old 3 and so on.
You will buy new tesla when you'll realize your views begin to fall off because everyone mostly moved on to new updated models. Additionally I hardly believe they'll give you free tesla roadster
Americans suffer from two syndrome: FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome Both of these are huge factors that drive the “need” many have to buy the latest of whatever. I’m fortunate that I don’t have either of these (to an unmanageable degree). Sure, the new and shiny is always attractive. But I can resist. My ultimate question is this: Is there anything I need to do that I cannot do with what I have? My ‘21 M3 SR+ works great. It just crossed 50k miles, so no more warranty on the car (battery and power train still have many miles to go). But I’ve been on many 1,000 mile trips (including a 5,500 mile r/t to Louisville), and the car has reliably, capably, and comfortably made each of those trips! Plus it is absolutely amazing as a daily driver around town. The s/w updates, as you mentioned, constantly refresh my car, making it feel new and up-to-date, and the tech of the Tesla world make me feel like my car is not a 2nd thought of the OEM. This is who they are and what they do. Full stop. My feeling is that, if/when this car needs a new battery, I’m definitely going to buy a new battery instead of a new car. I’m hoping by then, Tesla would simply let me keep the old battery to use as a power wall. But yeah I’m not really tempted to get the latest and greatest - I already have it!
Nice vid, but underwhelming... I thought this was going to be a disparaging vid, but instead it's a vid telling why you're keeping what you have. I can give you 10 reasons why I hate mine with number 1 being range, or the lack thereof! My 2019 SR+ has a whopping 15K miles on it and out of the 240 mile range it supposedly came with, I am only getting 140 actual miles, oh I can charge to 100%, but doesn't come close to showing 240, more like 200.
I have a 22 M3 RWD with 27k miles on it. Published range by Tesla 272 when new. I have the LFP batteries that are recommended to be charged to 100%. My car never charged to 272 miles at 100%. It now shows at 100% charge 254-256. I think the real world range is about 240. Of course depends on outside temperature and speed. Tesla warranty the batteries to maintain 70% of range for 8 years and 100k miles. depending on model this warranty has different parameters. If your range drops much more, you could qualify for a battery replacement.
I take it your cars have never exhibited Tourette's Syndrome: the phantom braking, the ping-ponging beween lanes, the paranoia when merging. Well, lucky you. They said they were "already building" the Roadster v.2.0 back in 2017. Yet you haven't taken delivery YET???
Gosh. Your trade-in estimates are real stingers. We’ve had 2 2018 M3Ps and recently sold them. Tesla’s trade-in offers were low. One of them with 94,000 miles was offered $16,800. The other with 16,560 miles was offered $19,500. We sold them to Carvana ($18,800) and Carmax ($23,000) respectively. The two were sold to make way for the Tri Motor Cybertruck (Cyberbeast as it came to be known) I had on reservation since 44 hrs after reveal and delivered recently. The other was sold to make way for a much more practical MY AWD (Quicksilver!) where we took advantage of Q4 incentives, the Fed Tax Credit ($7,500) and the 0% interest 60mo loan. Couldn’t pass this up. Free money for 5 years!!!
One reason I won't buy a Tesla ... if I had the money for a Tesla, I'd buy a 2022-2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport. I love driving and Tesla numbs this experience. I've never cared about 0-60 speeds. Most people don't give a single care about this. Can it merge with traffic, check and move on. No trolling but let's keep in perspective we don't all want an appliance we feel will be replaced every two-four years. Give me a car which brings joy and I know I'll want to own 15 years from now (and will still have some resale value).
The new Tesla designs sucks so bad they literally stripped everything that made the model 3 look so unique. I don’t know who in the right mind would like the new refresh design..😂
Thanks for the breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Meanwhile, I’m here thinking about buying a Cybertruck. If you have the money, spend it! After all, you only live once, and your money isn’t going to come with you when you leave this planet.
Here's the real list of reasons not to buy a Tesla: 1. Everything creaks and rattles when driving. Quality is subpar 2. The car is glued together. It doesn't fell stable like other cars 3. It's not refined like other similarly priced cars 4. Maintenance/repair costs are realized on the backend when battery needs replacing 5. Interior material is cheap akin to a Kia Rio 6. Range vs number of charging station make no since 7. The battery can't take low outside temps or high outside temps 8. Needs constant charging for any real world use 9. Too many bugs in software that require frequent updates 10. MSRP for Model S should be $30,000 not $80,000 I sold my Tesla and bought a Toyota 4Runner and bought my wife a Lexus GX. Both can withstand extreme conditions, has high quality parts, very rugged and extremely reliable. Both vehicles are built like tanks and can take extreme abuse with ease. Teslas will fall apart if treated with any abuse. Stay away from Teslas if you value refinement, durability, reliability, safety, and comfort. Just buy a Toyota or Lexus.
My 22 40000km. Driving in -40c no problem. But we cover the front in the winter. No squeaks. No repair. Range ok, 250km in -40c. No softwarebugs. When gone hunting we use dacia duster 4wd. Not so big issue if we get some blood and hair in that and the groundclearance is better The dacia can have problems to start when its below -30c, i think its because the diesel doesnt flow but the batterycar is much easier to start in cold weather. And if you preheat with the app its even better
Congratulations! You’re going to love your new car! Let me know if you need a referral-I’d be happy to share mine. Wishing you many miles of joy and adventure! @midifool99
Thanks for the great video. For me on my Model 3 all the constant software patches are for problems that weren't there until the downloads. I love my car and the only reason to upgrade to the new Model 3 is for the Red. My current 2022 is boring white. FSD is a nuisance for me, so I no longer pay for it.
................... you literally can't wait to demo the new Model Y! Here's why I will never buy another Tesla vehicle again: 1. DEPRECIATION. 2. PRICE FLUCTUATIONS 3. *I will lease.* And I will not take delivery on my Cybertruck because it drives like a fkn whale.
Reasons to buy new Teslas: 1) LiOn (in lieu of lead acid) low voltage battery in newer cars; 2) better ride with advanced suspension in refreshed model 3 and next year's model Y; 3) AI4 (now) or AI5 (in a few years); 4) better heat pump system; 5) ventilated seats; 6) new models (cybertruck) 6a) 48V LVS; 6b) steer by wire; 6c) rear wheel steering; 6d) ultimate cool factor...; 7) RGB cabin ambient lighting.
@@edl617 like stocks, the only time the value matters is if/when you sell the car. The rest of it are all nothing more than random numbers written on paper. As I’m not planning on selling or trading in my ‘21 M3, the value it has is specific to me and my needs. Which means it has a very high value indeed!
A Tesla is NOT a luxury car! The build quality is not on par with bargain brands and it definitely cannot be compared to benchmarked luxury cars like BMW or Mercedes.
@@Basketball2011md You're a shill, Teslas have the highest fatality rate of any car because they self-crash, not self-drive. And other EV's are better than Teslas with lower repair costs and maintenance.
@@Basketball2011md every car has "self driving"... I own a Tesla Model 3... It's NOT a luxury car. My car is not even on par with regular cars. Let's not lie to ourselves!

I'm driving a M3 and I think the only car I would consider switching to is a Model Y. I'm secretly hoping that one day my M3 can just become a robo taxi then I can justify buying a model Y. Though still having doubts that HW3 and/or the lower resolution cameras can keep up.
I completely agree! I just wish I had referral credits like you!
this year have bought a used 2021 Tesla model 3 and plan to keep it another 3- 4 years then will get a 3 yo 2025 Model Y and probaly keep it as long as i can drive
Congrats on your soon to be new addition to your family! I've got a PHEV, but would like a Tesla.
Thank you Andy. I want to continue to see the longevity of the cars, there are enough people that are covering the new cars. I plan to drive mine into the ground as well.
Not a single Tesla with high milage is for sell on autotrader. Search nationwide for high milage cars on autotrader and you won't see a single Tesla.
What a great advertisement for owning a Tesla! Apart from the whole industries issue with depreciation (solved by long term ownership or buying a second life Tesla) what's not to like‽
I bought a 2nd hand Tesla that already had a battery replacement so I could ease into the new era of EV’s and learn the ins and outs and get on the environmental bandwagon of responsible earth stewardship… FAIL!! The 2nd battery died within 2 years (just after the warranty expired!) and then the motor died, too, after I had sunk more money into upgrading the onboard computer, suspension (Tesla wouldn’t safety-check otherwise), 12v battery, new door mechanisms, as well as tires, etc… So I will also never buy another Tesla! Their trade-in offers were insulting and they would accept no blame for the terrible build quality of their vehicle… Did I just get a lemon? Perhaps, but still..
I love my new model 3 refresh performance 🤷🏽♂️ let me know when you find another car manufacturer that competes with Tesla technology
1:25 noted your Marion, IL charging, LOL I was there back on April 8th (with about 50 other Tesla's trying to charge at the same eight chargers (only time I had to wait for a charger)) for the Eclipse. Small world.
After the price drop on the Model Y’s. It makes no sense to me to trade the MYLR for anything else. I’ll keep it until I retire. Will see what up then. I love the car. It’s the best daily I had ever own.
EV will transform the entire industry due to their longevity. 400,000+ miles are being recorded on the original batteries- and the newer batteries will prove to be more reliable. Prices on EV will continue to fall- Tesla stock skyrocketed because they reduced the cost to manufacture by 20% in 2024. The cost will be even lower in 2025...2026. Any other manufacturers os gas/hybrid reducing their prices?
My battery lasted 25k miles on my 2021 model Y. I doubt they are going to last 400k miles.
@@TheWagLifewhat did you do to that thing 😂
Unless your like me and want a Cybertruck. Currently own a Model Y but dang the CT is nice.
Is the model 3 sufficient for two kids?
What appeared to be an anti Tesla turned out to be a solid endorsement of the products from a keep them long term perspective. We also have 2 Tesla's at home. A 2024 refreshed Model 3 DM and a 2018 Model X 100D. We had both leased Tesla's in 2021 (M3, MY) and so were not impacted by price changes or value depreciation for those cars. We purchased my wifes 2024 Model 3 and I bought the Model X from Tesla's used vehicle site. My wifes M3 refresh DM was actually less expensive that her 2021 single motor.
The amazing deal was the Model X. It is a 6 seat X with 49K miles in great condition for $39,900. It had EAP which I upgraded to FSD for an additional $2K. That's $43K all in for a vehicle that sold new in 2018 or over $150K. It carries a 1 year full warranty and another two years for the battery and drive motors. I love driving the X and it is by far the best deal I've ever had on a vehicle in my long life of vehicle ownership. I feel for the individual who paid what with all the options was actually closer to $160K (6 seat, upgraded wheels, EAP) and lost over $100K in the trade-in to Tesla. Most non-Tesla people who have been in my X have thought it was a new car. It is certainly a lot of car for what I paid and like you, my battery is in that 93% capacity or 275 miles of range.
What's it like to deal with slow charging and battery replacement before trying to resel combined with depreciation? Do you think NIO batery swap is viable?
A friend of mine said you have a New Yugo in your garage now! Great! Is it Diesel powered, or Hydrogen powered?
Excellent Review. My Model 3 is 6 years old with 13,000 miles on the odometer. Solar roof on house. Only repair cost 12 volt battery $85.00. Have hepa cabin filter for summer 2025. Will flush & install myself. Great last car.😊
You sure don't drive very much with those low miles. You should get out more and go on some adventures. I have a 2023 (March build) Tesla Model Y LR with 25,000 miles. The computer that controls the screen was freezing up and was replaced earlier this year. I have home charging and use the superchargers as needed on long road trips. The car is so fun to drive it almost seems like it gave me a reason to explore more. I love the one pedal driving. My daily commute round trip is less than 10 miles, so I've put on the extra miles by going on weekday and weekend road trips.
Where can i get a brand new battery for a tesla s 100d for 7k?
Good job on the kids, but ya still supposed to have 1.5 pets buddy 🤪. Thanks for the video. This confirms that I can get a used Tesla cheap, but need to be wary of the repairs.
I know you provided the dealership trade in value of your two Teslas. I would be interested to know what the private seller re-sale value is on your Model 3 and your Model Y.
Good choice Andy I changed my mind as well l will go for a German brand .
I sold my model Y last year and I’m selling my model X next week. I used to be all-in. Two Teslas in the garage, power wall, solar, Tesla stock portfolio. The main reason I won’t be buying another Tesla… They have become uncool. I’m actually embarrassed to drive it. More importantly, they haven’t launched anything interesting in several years. I love my 22 model X, but they could have done a lot more to differentiate it from the 2017 model X that it replaced. It was a lazy refresh and it’s clear that Tesla is no longer interested in their premium vehicles. If the design of the cyber truck and taxi is an indication of their next wave design approach, then I’m out for good. Car design should seduce, not repulse. The design looks silly, and the quality has taken a massive step backward.
Good afternoon! I wanted to see if you would field this question for me. I recently had my air conditioner system replaced. I brought it into the service station and they said my air conditioner compressor grenaded causing the destruction of my air conditioner lines as well as the manifold. I asked if this happens every time or if this was a faulty design. He did not have much of an answer and since I am over 100,000 miles on my car I had to pay for the complete repair of over $3000 for my air conditioner system, has anyone else had this problem? Thanks
+55k$ to less than 25k$ in two years.
if you look at the Tesla Depreciation sheet, every year, the depreciation has been decreasing.
thanks for the vid, I referred and received charging credits. Now after a year they expired and removed them.. thanks tesla... so I dont refer anyone any more.
Hello! So with all those Supercharger credits, do you still charge at home or just supercharge?
I love my Tesla 👍🏻
You bought an $80,000 car thats only worth $20,000. Kinda dumb
@lukeav6097 I take it you have never bought nor owned a Tesla huh?
@@TopViewFar I've test driven several Teslas. They don't compare to a regular car worth $80,000
@@lukeav6097The newer models are all pretty much the same. There's Tesla's on the road with over 500,000 miles on them. I plan on keeping mind as long as possible. Who cares if the value goes down. Plus I paid 30k for mine. 20k miles on ut with a brand new battery. I'm good for many many many years.
@@markp911 I did a search on autotrader for the highest milage cars for sell in the nation. I didn't find a single Tesla over 300,000 miles. Mostly, toyotas and full sized sedans were over 300K. What does that tell you?
What happens when your roadster stops working?
Make more of your videos! Yours are the best!
You need to do a video about the "snipping". Hopefully, after "being in for service", you are "ready to go" once again.
Excellent video- and your take on "why replace" was Elon's vision all along. Longevity just adds up to better for the environment. Most young people will only purchase 2 EV in their lifetime...due to their extreme longevity. Think about how much money that will save them over their lifetime.
Extreme longevity? The weakest link is the battery. Tesla is not on the top list of most reliable vehicles. Toyotas and Mazdas can out last a Tesla
@@lukeav6097 Tesla have only been built for what, 14 years? The weak link is indeed the battery, and the numbers are ever increasing of owners that have 300,000+ miles on those old Tesla batteries. The batteries made today are much better than those that are lasting 300,000 miles!
I can't buy one in my state due to dealer protection laws. If they came out with a self driving two door sedan for urban transportation I would buy that though but it better be offered in 2025 as that is the year I move to an electric car.
CONGRATULATIONS on adding to your family!
Electric cars from China have slightly inferior features, but are much cheaper than Tesla, so are they an interesting option? 😅
Question: I have a M3 2018 like yours. It has been over 6 years and I see where the AC should be service. Did you get yours serviced for the AC? If not why and if you did I would like to know your thoughts on this? I have under 50k miles on mine. It is over $600 to get it done. I am planning on keeping it for another 4 years or more.
So the reason you arnt going to buy a new Tesla is you already have two that are paid off....I agree with the depreciation, doubt I'd buy another new one again.
Paid $56,300 and today its worth $28,000! What is the cost today of a new model Y? Its not the cost at purchase, it's the rapid depreciation that is the problem. No matter the price, 50% loss of value in a year and a half is not normal. Especially when we know the cars popularity. Its telling me there is very little aftermarket for used EVs perhaps due to the battery life expectations by an ignorant public. EV buyers are a more intelligent group VS the gasoline mouth breathers.
Lmao should off leased then, if you are going to keep the car for 8-10 years don’t even think about resell value. And then a new battery pack at 6k will be a steal to keep that car running
That was due covid macro market conditions which drove up the costs of everything. Then the market returned to be more normalised. Not to mention Hertz unloading their purchases of Tesla's for other reasons
Right now you can lease a Model Y for $3,000 down, and a total of $9300 for 3 years (10,000 miles per year). That seems like a good deal to me.
@@robertbrandywineLeasing is a far better idea than purchase but i drive nearly 20,000 miles a year. What is the milage penalty on the lease for exceeding 10k?
40% of all car loans from 2022 to now are delinquent. Does this surprise anyone?
congratulation on the babies, on the next video walk us on the operation
Congrats on the 3rd addition
but 4 is ideal
You might be missing out on a $45k M3P with the tax credits - it’s absolutely awesome !
I didn’t really watch your video but I recently took delivery of 2024 model 3 performance to be used as my daily driver. I did black on black and got custom interior modification to change the white cloth materials to black Alcantara and red seat belts. Forged carbon inserts, UP lowering springs, hubcentric spacers and I’m loving it. And I come from a garage with Ferraris and Lamborghinis and I’m absolutely loving this for my daily. Not to mention it’s probably the quickest car I have off the line. We can’t get a plaid here in Australia but I think the new model 3 performance looks way better especially with the mods I’ve done. It’s literally the perfect daily so I think you should just get one.
Good advice if you are young and thrifty. But as you get older and your TSLA stock is crazy, you just buy a new car whenever you want.
....didn't you just buy a Tesla like 3 weeks after this video?
ANDY - then SELL all your Teslas & STOP making Tesla content.

I just bought a model y today
I was thinking you were actually putting on a clickbait title on here, but after watching I think it was clever.
Never say never!
The rumor is that you can buy a new Model Y for $30,000. If so, it's hard to believe that your 2 year old Model Y would still have a $25,000 residual value.
Rumor? You could look this up on the Tesla site and know for sure.
@@DonaldBStinnett Well, I tried, but even with a Tesla owner helping me we couldn't get that $30,000 figure.
Great video… congrats an getting “snipped” 😉
how much the battery is? man I will never be able to afford a tesla
Ya makes no sense-here’s all the cool features-so thats yr reason not to buy ?
those are his reasons to keep the ones he has, therefore no need to buy a new one.
Nonsense, Tesla is offering 0% -4% loans depending on credit. A lot of your reasons are very weak. The new model 3 is an amazing drive compared to old 3 and so on.
The “Tesla wallet” , you are just talking about the Tesla app right? Is there a separate app?
You will buy new tesla when you'll realize your views begin to fall off because everyone mostly moved on to new updated models. Additionally I hardly believe they'll give you free tesla roadster
Americans suffer from two syndrome:
FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out
GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome
Both of these are huge factors that drive the “need” many have to buy the latest of whatever.
I’m fortunate that I don’t have either of these (to an unmanageable degree). Sure, the new and shiny is always attractive. But I can resist.
My ultimate question is this: Is there anything I need to do that I cannot do with what I have?
My ‘21 M3 SR+ works great. It just crossed 50k miles, so no more warranty on the car (battery and power train still have many miles to go). But I’ve been on many 1,000 mile trips (including a 5,500 mile r/t to Louisville), and the car has reliably, capably, and comfortably made each of those trips! Plus it is absolutely amazing as a daily driver around town.
The s/w updates, as you mentioned, constantly refresh my car, making it feel new and up-to-date, and the tech of the Tesla world make me feel like my car is not a 2nd thought of the OEM. This is who they are and what they do. Full stop.
My feeling is that, if/when this car needs a new battery, I’m definitely going to buy a new battery instead of a new car. I’m hoping by then, Tesla would simply let me keep the old battery to use as a power wall.
But yeah I’m not really tempted to get the latest and greatest - I already have it!
Nice vid, but underwhelming... I thought this was going to be a disparaging vid, but instead it's a vid telling why you're keeping what you have. I can give you 10 reasons why I hate mine with number 1 being range, or the lack thereof! My 2019 SR+ has a whopping 15K miles on it and out of the 240 mile range it supposedly came with, I am only getting 140 actual miles, oh I can charge to 100%, but doesn't come close to showing 240, more like 200.
I have a 22 M3 RWD with 27k miles on it. Published range by Tesla 272 when new. I have the LFP batteries that are recommended to be charged to 100%. My car never charged to 272 miles at 100%. It now shows at 100% charge 254-256. I think the real world range is about 240. Of course depends on outside temperature and speed. Tesla warranty the batteries to maintain 70% of range for 8 years and 100k miles. depending on model this warranty has different parameters. If your range drops much more, you could qualify for a battery replacement.
So when did cars actually appreciate? Never!
I traded my model Y for Rivian nd Nissan Ariya
I take it your cars have never exhibited Tourette's Syndrome: the phantom braking, the ping-ponging beween lanes, the paranoia when merging. Well, lucky you. They said they were "already building" the Roadster v.2.0 back in 2017. Yet you haven't taken delivery YET???
Less is more. The pen ad is just e-waste. Stop wasting your money on useless crap.
Many new EV models on the horizon if you don't want a TESLA! More competition out there.
Some big news in there and he just ✂ right over it!
Intrusive thought here…. What about doing a giveaway to help someone start their Tesla ownership “journey”? 😅 someone like me haha
Gosh. Your trade-in estimates are real stingers. We’ve had 2 2018 M3Ps and recently sold them. Tesla’s trade-in offers were low. One of them with 94,000 miles was offered $16,800. The other with 16,560 miles was offered $19,500. We sold them to Carvana ($18,800) and Carmax ($23,000) respectively. The two were sold to make way for the Tri Motor Cybertruck (Cyberbeast as it came to be known) I had on reservation since 44 hrs after reveal and delivered recently. The other was sold to make way for a much more practical MY AWD (Quicksilver!) where we took advantage of Q4 incentives, the Fed Tax Credit ($7,500) and the 0% interest 60mo loan. Couldn’t pass this up. Free money for 5 years!!!
One reason I won't buy a Tesla ... if I had the money for a Tesla, I'd buy a 2022-2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport. I love driving and Tesla numbs this experience. I've never cared about 0-60 speeds. Most people don't give a single care about this. Can it merge with traffic, check and move on. No trolling but let's keep in perspective we don't all want an appliance we feel will be replaced every two-four years. Give me a car which brings joy and I know I'll want to own 15 years from now (and will still have some resale value).
😂😂😂
Software updates does not equate to a new car LOL. That's like saying phone updates feel like a new phone. Just no man.

@@paulomoniz7326 yes 44 years battery left
LOL. I thought this was going to be negative. I’m about to get a MY.
Here's the real list of reasons not to buy a Tesla:
1. Everything creaks and rattles when driving. Quality is subpar
2. The car is glued together. It doesn't fell stable like other cars
3. It's not refined like other similarly priced cars
4. Maintenance/repair costs are realized on the backend when battery needs replacing
5. Interior material is cheap akin to a Kia Rio
6. Range vs number of charging station make no since
7. The battery can't take low outside temps or high outside temps
8. Needs constant charging for any real world use
9. Too many bugs in software that require frequent updates
10. MSRP for Model S should be $30,000 not $80,000
I sold my Tesla and bought a Toyota 4Runner and bought my wife a Lexus GX. Both can withstand extreme conditions, has high quality parts, very rugged and extremely reliable. Both vehicles are built like tanks and can take extreme abuse with ease. Teslas will fall apart if treated with any abuse. Stay away from Teslas if you value refinement, durability, reliability, safety, and comfort. Just buy a Toyota or Lexus.
My 22 40000km. Driving in -40c no problem. But we cover the front in the winter. No squeaks. No repair. Range ok, 250km in -40c. No softwarebugs. When gone hunting we use dacia duster 4wd. Not so big issue if we get some blood and hair in that and the groundclearance is better
The dacia can have problems to start when its below -30c, i think its because the diesel doesnt flow but the batterycar is much easier to start in cold weather. And if you preheat with the app its even better
