One of the issues with dealer used Teslas is certainly the lack of knowledge they have. I experienced several of the same issues when i purchased our second Model 3. Partly lack of knowledge, partly lack of attention to detail. Get past that and the ownership experience is generally fantastic.
Agree, Dealers dont yet know how to read the fault codes or do any repairs. As the new owner I had to sort out the repairs with Tesla and waiting for a refund from the dealer (if ot ever comes)
everything in life takes longer and is more difficult than we think it’s going to be. it’s okay, we experience trials and tribulations, and we get thru it. we don’t publish videos crying about it, and telling people it’s better to pollute the world with more diesel combustion. you will benefit from owning the tesla in the long run. you will save a lot of money and enjoy the smooth high tech nature of your new auto. relax… and thanks for being considerate to the earth by having solar and driving an EV.
All I was trying to do is show that it is not all sunshine and rainbows. I am sorting out all the problems and will follow up with a video, but so far it has been a more stressfull and time consuming purchase than I expected. Once I charge from solar it will be a fantastic way to get free motoring.
@@saeedminaii6023 in the UK that is correct. Most DC chargers cost 0.7-0.9 pounds per kW. If you do the maths you will find that it is cheaper to drive a diesel car.
Why do you have to wait for Tesla to give up ownership? I bought a used Tesla last month. I called Tesla, sent them a picture of my temporary tag that I got at the dealer and they transferred it to me 5 minutes later.
In the UK I called Tesla and I was told I need to wait for the V5C doccument which takes about 5 days to receive. Once received I had to apply on the app, and 2 days later my application was rejected. It has now been sorted but it took over a week.
@@hosuandreiremusthe previous owner is supposed to transfer it to you. Which takes 2 minutes. V5C is only needed if they refuse to transfer it or can’t be bothered
Well, Tesla would not even hep book a service because "computer says no". I have proof of purchase of the car but they dont accept that as proof of ownership. When did car maker have so mich control over the cars? Do I even own this car if they have the power to switch it off when they want to.
Did you do any research on RUclips on buying a used tesla? Those issues you have must be very stressful. The car should be given without any warning notifcations. I hope things have gotten better with your tesla!
@@EastVanGuy7 they have. Everything was sorted withim 4 weeks (which is a long time), and the car is great. Just been on a trip across Europe and had no issues with range and charging.
@@andrewtruscott8515 it depends where you live and how efficient your diesel car is. In the UK charging is expensive but in Europe I found it to be a bit cheaper. I have recently done a long trip through Europe and it worked out about 25% cheaper than my diesel car. But I need to mention that the non Tesla chargers cost almost double.
@@andrewtruscott8515 yes. Tesla Offers the cheapest rates and chargin off peak also helps. But charging at home is by far the cheapes way charge your car and 99% of my charging is done at home thanks to the generous range of the Model 3. I find myself driving the Tesla much more than the diesel car even on long journeys.

Agree, I got a used M3 SR+, 2020, 30k miles for 19k. Love it
@@MrGayle_ they are great and the range is very good. Cant fault it. Had it for 6 months.
6:40 more expensive to dc charge per mile than it is to pay for diesel or petrol and cheaper to drive BMW 520d than Tesla? How can that be even right?

@@hosuandreiremus How is that Tesla fault?

I bought the car from a car dealer, I dont know the previous owner. I did mention that buying privately, the transfer is much faster.

I thought using the Tesla charging network would be cheaper than your diesel for long runs?!!!

@@hosuandreiremus cheers… so as long as you stick with Tesla network and charge at certain times it’s cheaper…
