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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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 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.
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 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’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.
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?
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).
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
@@footballfan993I mean Hitler helped make the Volkswagen beetle. Didn't stop hippies from buying them lol. Love my Tesla! It's a great car! Besides elon's going to be leaving Tesla anyways supposedly 🤷🏻
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
@@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!
I’ll probably never buy a Tesla again. The ergonomics are poor, the ride is rough and loud, and they are difficult to drive. I’d sell mine but it has lost too much resale value, because Musk.
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
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.
I'll never buy another one, I returned mine after 2 years. Insurance is higher, I am saving $500 every 6 months after getting rid of my Model 3. Car was noisy, a rattle trap, very bumpy, uncomfortable seats, just absolute garbage.
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..😂
@@lukeav6097 depends really. I’ve had a German made VW and Subaru before and the teslas are objectively better cars so far (4 months in). The battery… apparently you should be looking at 300,000km… never travelled that far in my driving life.
@@lostprophet86 C'mon bro you know which car makes to get if you want reliability. Besides Teslas are extremely overpriced for what you get. Similarly priced regular cars are waaaay better.
@lukeav6097 to be honest… I’m not a car person but the VWs and Audi I’ve driven are nice but imo the Tesla one door drive is a no brainer. The control you get on the daily is insane and $5 “fuel ups” with solar are game changer. Bought with a lease too so it becomes about 25k cheaper than RRP. 3.1c to 100km is dumb fast too. Either way though the battery is a non event.
Here are ten good reasons to never buy a Tesla again: Elon Musk Elon Musk Elon Musk Elon Musk Elon Musk Elon Musk Elon Musk Elon Musk Elon Musk Elon Musk
Elon Musk is a CEO. Musk doesn't own Tesla and he wasn't the founder of Tesla. Musk doesn't design, engineer or build Tesla vehicles. Tesla has thousands of good employees who do those jobs and assemble the vehicles. Don't let the decisions of one A..hole CEO get into your head and dictate your decisions of products to purchase. Henry Ford was an anti-semite. Marry Barra of General Motors lied about having dozens of EVs years ago. Carlos Ghosn of Nissan is a criminal and fugitive who was smuggled out of Japan in an instrument box. Volkswagen CEOs lied, cheated and polluted the Earth. Remember 'Diesel Gate'? Toyota has recently been investigated for cheating on emissions programming on industrial engines in the USA. There are more examples of bad, dishonest, lying and cheating CEOs. Company CEOs aren't angels. Most homes in the USA are filled with items from China. Do U support a repressive, communist Country run by a dictator by purchasing items from China?
Here are the real reasons to avoid Teslas. 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.

We have principles.....and aren't into being intellectually insulted (we are proudly informed.....woke). We've literally HAD Teslas. Our FTA Australian BYD Seal is simply better for less.

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.

@@trythis2821 Teslas are toy cars compared to real cars. The fuel, maintenance, and repair costs are priced upfront for Teslas. Teslas will fall apart for any extreme use. Not worth $80,000 maybe $25,000

If you look up video's you will see people getting 300K miles without much going wrong. Base RWD Model Y for me in Australia with tax concession novated lease will cost $40,000 AUD out of pocket (after effective tax concessions) so that makes it a better proposition. I agree original pricing was very high, when I test drove US made Model S (can't get them in Australia anymore) sales lady told me will not like going back to old Toyota.

@@manuelwilson9214 Not a Tesla-only issue. From Consumer Reports: “…about 40 percent of new cars today don’t come with a spare tire…” based on their test drive vehicles. The majority (50%) of new cars come without a full-sized spare, with only 10% having those. I bought a Modern Spare for my M3. Over 3.5 years, and 50k miles, I have yet to use it. Not sure what your point is.
SELL, SELL, SELL ... cut your losses while you can. Lithium is out. The next decade will be built all * Hybrid * and sodium-ion. Tesla is lithium .. get the picture?

@@michwashington You are honest! I hate my Model 3. It's a headache! And the dude that made this video called it a luxury car... That's a joke... My car doesn't even match the build quality of the cheapest cars on the market... let alone be comparable to luxury brands!
And yet cars from the last few years don't have all those classic Atari games. No passenger lumbar bladder. No ultra sonic sensors, which worked great especially with Summon for parking in tight spots. This new Dumb Summon just doesn't work for tight garage parking. And now we lose the ad free music they we have been paying for with Premium Connectivity. Feels like we are paying more for less. And the cabin camera monitoring is too sensitive, I got dinged twice during a 4 hour drive at night. Had to pull over to reset it after the first ding. I got dinged for trying to see my route on the display once and another time trying to show the Superchargers in the area on the display. It's ridiculous that after so many dings FSD then won't work for like a week, even though we paid for it! And even the lane assist function shuts off for a drive if it gives too many warnings, which makes no sense. That removes driver safety. Your link to the pen doesn't work right and what is shown is only a 15% discount, not 20%. And it's not true that Tesla's depreciate in value like crazy. Elon said Tesla's with FSD will be appreciating in value. Guess that was just more lies from him. lol You said you don't need more range and your reasoning is because there are more charging stations now. You do realize that for those of us that have to pay for charging, less range means it costs us more money.

@@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?
“Never say Never.” Mark my words.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I still have my 2017 and love it. Congrats on baby #2.
I completely agree! I just wish I had referral credits like you!
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.
You need to do a video about the "snipping". Hopefully, after "being in for service", you are "ready to go" once again.
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.
All I learned from this video is reasons why I WOULD BUY A TESLA Any car you purchase is going to deprecate and cost you $$$ That's life Cheers
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 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’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.
Good choice Andy I changed my mind as well l will go for a German brand .
All I want is a #NIO when it comes to EVs.
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?
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).
😂😂😂
So when did cars actually appreciate? Never!
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.
Less is more. The pen ad is just e-waste. Stop wasting your money on useless crap.
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.
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!
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!
Congrats on your soon to be new addition to your family! I've got a PHEV, but would like a Tesla.

Wake up when you realise other EV makers have trapped you back in service hell. But you probs wont make videos about that
So glad this wasn’t a surprise woke video about how you don’t like Elon Musk anymore 😅
I hate that people use Elon musk as a reason for not buying one. That’s a stupid reason. Make it something legitimate.
Woke democrats created both Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Without woke democrats you wouldn't have Elon or Donald. So give credit where it's due
@@footballfan993I mean Hitler helped make the Volkswagen beetle. Didn't stop hippies from buying them lol. Love my Tesla! It's a great car! Besides elon's going to be leaving Tesla anyways supposedly 🤷🏻
A friend of mine said you have a New Yugo in your garage now! Great! Is it Diesel powered, or Hydrogen powered?
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.
You might be missing out on a $45k M3P with the tax credits - it’s absolutely awesome !
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.
Congrats on the 3rd addition
but 4 is ideal
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.
It’s luxury to have your car do 80% of the driving, avoid the gas station and have limited trips to a service center. Times have changed 😅
Absolutely, the car is built like a rattle-tin box. Complete utter trash. Seriously, If i order an Uber and it's a Tesla, I'm cancelling it.
@@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.

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.
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.
2 and 3 year old model 3 and Y are selling only for 30,000 dollars
@@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!
I’ll probably never buy a Tesla again. The ergonomics are poor, the ride is rough and loud, and they are difficult to drive. I’d sell mine but it has lost too much resale value, because Musk.
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
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
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.
I'll never buy another one, I returned mine after 2 years. Insurance is higher, I am saving $500 every 6 months after getting rid of my Model 3. Car was noisy, a rattle trap, very bumpy, uncomfortable seats, just absolute garbage.
The “Tesla wallet” , you are just talking about the Tesla app right? Is there a separate app?

Buy one and you never will need to again. Sooooo good.
@@lostprophet86 The battery is the weakest link for Teslas. Internal combustion engines last much longer than a Tesla battery.
@@lukeav6097 depends really. I’ve had a German made VW and Subaru before and the teslas are objectively better cars so far (4 months in). The battery… apparently you should be looking at 300,000km… never travelled that far in my driving life.
@@lostprophet86 C'mon bro you know which car makes to get if you want reliability. Besides Teslas are extremely overpriced for what you get. Similarly priced regular cars are waaaay better.
@lukeav6097 to be honest… I’m not a car person but the VWs and Audi I’ve driven are nice but imo the Tesla one door drive is a no brainer. The control you get on the daily is insane and $5 “fuel ups” with solar are game changer. Bought with a lease too so it becomes about 25k cheaper than RRP. 3.1c to 100km is dumb fast too. Either way though the battery is a non event.

And yet cars from the last few years don't have all those classic Atari games. No passenger lumbar bladder. No ultra sonic sensors, which worked great especially with Summon for parking in tight spots. This new Dumb Summon just doesn't work for tight garage parking. And now we lose the ad free music they we have been paying for with Premium Connectivity. Feels like we are paying more for less.
And the cabin camera monitoring is too sensitive, I got dinged twice during a 4 hour drive at night. Had to pull over to reset it after the first ding. I got dinged for trying to see my route on the display once and another time trying to show the Superchargers in the area on the display. It's ridiculous that after so many dings FSD then won't work for like a week, even though we paid for it! And even the lane assist function shuts off for a drive if it gives too many warnings, which makes no sense. That removes driver safety.
Your link to the pen doesn't work right and what is shown is only a 15% discount, not 20%.
And it's not true that Tesla's depreciate in value like crazy. Elon said Tesla's with FSD will be appreciating in value. Guess that was just more lies from him. lol
You said you don't need more range and your reasoning is because there are more charging stations now. You do realize that for those of us that have to pay for charging, less range means it costs us more money.
