Very nice video, you super underrated, very informative!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice video, you super underrated, very informative!
Nice breakdown 👌 helped with the decision 👍
Glad it helped!
Very good video, appreciate all the details. However, there's a really good chance either of the 2 ICE vehicles may require even more maintaining their engines outside of simple oil changes which may or may not be covered by the warranty.
Awesome video. I think new Tesla owners need to consider New Tires as part of the Maintenance package, as it seems that teslas tend to tear through them faster than ICE vehicles (at different rates depending on driving habits)
Good point!
I think you should include the price of new tires as well, unless your keeping the same tires for 6 years
Very clear & concise breakdown of Electric vehicle ownership.
Thank you - glad you liked it!
Great information, thank you! Wouldn't it be interesting if Tesla and Workhorse did a collaboration.
Glad you found it helpful, Rob! Workhorse collab might be interesting...and I can also think of many other Tesla collaborations as well.
I ordered mine a few days ago! So excited. Didn’t use a referral link. Can I add yours after the fact?
Congrats! Yes, my link is in the description section of this video! I bet you can call your local Tesla store and ask an associate to add for you - that way you can get the 1000 super charger miles!
A couple comments:
1. Oil changes through a BMW or Mercedes cost far more than $50/each.
2. Tire Rotations cost far less than $150/each. In fact. Some America's Tires locations will rotate Tesla tires for FREE!
Where??
@@rebeccaestime5519 Call your local America's Tire location and see if they offer this
Just bought the model Y, before I saw your code, and really looking forward to it. You might also want to include the insurance cost as the insurance quote I got was 1/2 the cost of my 2013 528i x drive
Congrats! Welcome to the Tesla family.
Nice video! where did you bought the LED tree braches?
Hey Khoa - thanks for tuning in! For the light tree just look in my description section under the “Like what you see in my videos” header and look for the Bokeh Tree - the link is there!
where did you buy that light tree at? thing looks awesome!
A very nice video. You have persuaded me to purchase Tesla Model Y over Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. By the way, where is the reference code you mentioned in the video?
You’ll love the model Y! Just click the link in the description section of my video and order your Tesla to get the free 1000 super charger miles! Congrats!
I'm a Tesla fan and have a Y Performance on order. However, my last 4 cars have been BMWs and its only fair to note that all scheduled maintenance is covered during the 3 year, 36k warranty period. Not the case with Mercedes. So I've never paid for oil changes, new brakes, etc on my BMWS.
Thanks John - that's fair input!
Wheel alignment and suspension components inspection... should be done yearly, or every six months on bad roadways, sorry Michigan. Every other tire rotation is a good rule of thumb. Teslas don't have a transmission, but they DO have a Gearbox(es) with differential(s), with lubricant, and an oil filter. There is not enough information on when this lubricant may need service. Wiper blades need to be replaced about every six months or as needed. It is strongly recommended to "clean" the brake pads and discs surface each and every single time you drive the car by using the brake pedal sparingly whenever you start driving. That also helps with the guide pins binding problem in the brake calipers. Brake fluid's biggest enemy (besides high temp. breakdown) is actually water contamination. A good tell-tale is the change in color. You can also have it checked by having it tested with a contamination strip. It only takes seconds to test it. Tire pressures: check them every two weeks. It only takes seconds and it single-handedly will give you consistent range and saves $$$$$$ with tire replacement.
What about how often you have to change tires, I have heard that you have to change tires more often with an EV
Nice informative video! I think you’re missing the higher insurance cost of a Tesla, especially the much higher premium (2-3X) of collision coverage.
Thank you! Actually, I've heard differently from many folks. The conversation on that point seems divided - I've heard lots of people echo the sentiment you have about insurance being higher, but I've also heard from others that insurance is slightly cheaper, due to the safety features that are taken into account by the insurance companies. It seems like it can vary depending on where you live and what agency you have coverage with. Hopefully it's cheaper for you, if you decide to buy a Tesla!
What do you guys think about the Model Y? Let me know!
$50 oil change is way too cheap. It’s more like $100
@@ylimele $50 per oil change is about right for a car with non-synthetic oil. Maybe as low as $30. That said, things like requiring synthetic oil bumps it up. So does how much oil the vehicle requires, example is a suburban that requires approximately 8 quarts, rather than 4 or 5.
A BMW 5 series uses synthetic and costs about $150 at a dealership, but only requires an oil change once a year. Costs more but you’re doing it less, so it evens out.
Minor detail, but it costs less for the annual inspection for an EV car, because you don't need the emissions inspection. This saves about $10 per year.
Thanks Brian - good point!
This is very detailed, and appreciate the information, but I noticed you didn't cover the cost of tire replacement.
True - I did leave this out!
Nice video. You should also add insurance costs. I insuring a tesla might be cheaper
Good point!
I am excited to see when Tesla is going to offer their own insurance. Tesla has information about all their drivers. thats how they rolled out the fsd beta to their safest drivers. they know who are the safest drivers out there so they will be able to offer the best insurance
The other factor to consider is residual value at the end of 5 years (what you can sell the car for). The Tesla's resale value will be much higher than the comps so your total cash out over the 5 years will be much lower. This was a key decision in our purchase of a Model Y.
Very true!
Is that true? My last electric car (Nissan leaf) was the highest depreciating model that year. My concern with Teslas (and all electric cars) is they’ll be treated like consumer electronics more than transportation and depreciate MORE as newer battery technology and such come about
@@chriss2352 it is true for Tesla but not other electric cars - www.caranddriver.com/news/a33935142/tesla-model-3-depreciate-electric-car/#:~:text=The%20Tesla%20Model%20S%20was,SUVs%20it%20was%2039.7%20percent.
That's a good question. I've seen first hand that Tesla cars have better resale value than regular gas powered cars, but have not compared it to other EVs.
Gas in Los Angeles is minimum $4.50 a gallon.
Plus you don't have to replace the brake pads. From what everyone at Tesla tells me.
So six years of owning those cars in Los Angeles is like $30k with gas being 20k.
Because of traffic and Los Angeles my wife has to fill up 4-6 times a month.
So we bought a Tesla. Gas was killing us.
Where does a tire rotation cost $150? Also the maintenance schedule is super advantageous for the ice examples. I'm totally on board with tesla but not a fair comparison.
Hi z23rdst, the tire rotation cost I took it from the what Angie's list told me was the cost of a 4 tire rotation and alignment ($75 for 2 wheels, double that for 4 wheels).
Also for the maintenance schedule - I took that from the Model Y owner's manual itself. If the manual is not correct, then that would obviously affect the calculations, but absent of any other reference source on the model Y, I had to take it for face value. Let me know if there are different sources that provide a more accurate maintenance schedule for the Model Y and I'd be happy to look at it.
I think you’re missing something on the electric rate. You included the basic use charge but missing the full picture of supply charges and distribution charges (distribution charge, transmission charge, etc.). For instance, the national average is $0.15 per kWh. In Southern California it’s around $0.20 per kWh.
In my case (very high rates in Massachusetts, btw) it’s $0.25 per kWh. $0.11 for energy supply, and $0.14 for distribution, transmission, renewable energy charge, energy efficiency charge, and EV charge.
Hey Patrick, good observation. I actually left off those charges on purpose and only counted the usage charge in my calculation b/c the transmission and distribution charges are minuscule for me and also charges that I would pay on my home electricity regardless of having an EV. But I also happen to live in a state that has one of the lowest electricity rates in the nation - so you are absolutely correct that your costs would vary depending on your location. But even considering all of that, the savings vs gasoline would still be enough to make it worthwhile.
Tires?
Insurance is very high for Tesla’s compared to regular cars. Compared to my Lexus, the cost to insure the Model Y is almost 3x more expensive in SoCal. It’s a big factor in the yearly cost calculation.
Great video. Tire rotation with Tesla mobile service cost me $35.00
Insurance is also cheaper and I have solar which even lowers energy costs. Also I have to note that BMW includes maintenance I think for 3 years. Mercedes does not.
Thanks - good input!
What you are missing, and it will (eventually) be a very big item, is the gasoline tax. In most states, the combination of the federal gas tax plus local state taxes can add up to more than $0.50 per gallon. Somehow or other, the states are going to have to address this issue, that is the loss of revenue since the electric car needs no gasoline, and hence no tax is generated, but roads still need maintenance. In a very real sense, in a way, had the Post Office thought about what email might do to their revenue stream, twenty years back they might have put a small tax on each email, say a $0.001 charge per transmission, which would have looked inconsequential but added significant and continuing revenues to their income stream. They didn’t and it would be impossible to do so today. My bottom line is that you should equalize, in some manner, for an eventual tax of some sort on the electrical usage in order to deal with this issue. Most readers will squawk loudly, but that is to be expected.
Hey Richard, that's a interesting point. I can definitely see it going in that direction in the future. At that point, I'll probably have a new updated video that revises this cost exercise with all of the new costs included. Thanks for the input!
The states charge annual fees for electric vehicles. I heard that some states charge more than the average gas tax.
Insurance is cheaper? That’s not what I’ve heard. Just ordered a Y-never owned a car before. What insurance did you use?
Teslas need to be charged daily?? How long does the battery last from full to low ?
It depends on your model and what version you get, but for my long range model Y - it is estimated to go 328 miles on a full charge. And if you want details on how much electricity it costs me - I'm working on that video right now. Stay tuned for that one to drop in about a week or so!
What about insurance cost/comparison ?
Hey Jonathan, you're absolutely right, I didn't include insurance in this. The cost from that standpoint would be variable depending on a person's driving record and what carrier they go with - and also whether or not they have it bundled with their home insurance, etc. That made it a difficult element to include here from a comparison standpoint, but you are definitely right to point it out.
Also depreciation costs would be good to look at. I will never buy an ICE vehicle again! (And hope to never have to drive one)
This was my first thought too. From what I read, Tesla's hold their value much more than ICE cars and would pass on much greater savings when sold.
What about tire cost? I understand you get 7-10K on a set of tires @ $1200 per set. This info from a Tesla y and 3 owner (nabor).
Good point, Aero Bob. I did leave out the tire costs. But I've heard it was more like 25k-30k miles on a set, depending on how you drive, of course. That would be approx one new set every 2 years. I would estimate about $5k of incremental cost over the course of 6 years.
What about insurance costs? Would’ve been nice to get a whole picture of ownership with that in mind as well for a grand total
My insurance is about$120/mo
I'm planning to buy mine for my birthday... Should i order 2 months early? I live in NJ
It does take a few weeks on average to take deliver - don’t forget to claim your 1000 free supercharger miles by using my referral link!
If you live in NJ you can apply for the $5,000 EV rebate & up to $1,000 for home charging. Good luck ⚡️
Insurance differences? Also, I've read you loose about 15%of the power when charging at home. For my MY, I currently use a regular 12 v outlet and have been getting about 20% power loss as it has to convert the power to DC.
Good points, Trent. For insurance, because it varies so widely by user's driving history and what carrier they go with, I decided to leave that one out of the calculations. For the power loss, that's interesting to consider - does that mean when I charge 11 KwH, I'm actually paying for 13.75 KwH? I'm not sure if that seems right...
Your cost is NOT 6 cents per kw. It is more likely double or triple that from your public utility. Here in MA our average electricity cost is 23 cents per kilowatt. You pay line fee and cost of generation.
@@fredrmitchell There are places in the US where energy costs as low as 5 cents/kilowatt-hour. Some utilities give a lower rate to charge cars at off-hours. My total usage from midnight to 6 AM is reduced by 1.5 cents because we have a plugin hybrid. The charging rate this month is 8.85 cents, which is a low rate for California.
Very true - I live in a state with one of the lowest energy costs in the US, plus I also only charge my car from 2am - 5am each day.
@@DanielsBrew There are lots of articles that talk about charging efficiency. Here is an example teslaliving.net/2014/07/07/measuring-ev-charging-efficiency/
Yes its a NEMA outlet, but so is the 5-15 you showed first. The "NEMA" outlet you are trying to reference is a 14-50. Next time, be a bit more specific.
How much is the monthly payment?
Hi Annielyn, if you follow the example in my video, the monthly payment for the $30k loan should be in the area of $450. Hope that helps!
Plus... Resale value on the Tesla is way better.
So what happened to trying the car and seeing it before buying it?
You can always test drive it, if you wish - just like any other car.
Really good video with a lot of smart analysis. I would've added my 2 cents on Potential fuel savings of $4,300. Comparing to BMW, or MB in your stats, you can save with model Y just under $9,000 over the 6-year cycle. But if you pay $4,300 upfront vs. fuel cars owners paying for fuel over the 6 years, this brings those saving to almost nothing taking in consideration the inflation. So, I personally do not feel there are any fuel savings with tesla. It's just a fancy commercial trick. To be clear, I'm not talking here about Eco- and other benefits Tesla brings to the auto-market.
U left out Depreciation, which in a Tesla is 3-5% (as of now) per year. While a BMW or Mercedes lose 50-60% of value in 3 years (I am speaking from data and personal experience). So if your numbers are correct which they do look to be correct, the Tesla is a no brainer.
Good point, Panos - I was purposely focusing on just the cost of maintenance and ownership in my calculations but when it comes to asset value, you're definitely right to include depreciation as a factor. Thanks for watching and your comment!
I don't agree with you, in 2016 tesla model S was over 80k usd new, now with 50k miles and 4 years old is worth 35k usd, and when it commes to 6-7 year old and over 100k miles with warrenty expired it will be worth close to nothing...
1800 for tire rotation????
Where do you live? You only pay 6 cents per kWh? In California, it's 21 cents per kWh. Cost is approximately $50/month if you drive 1,000 miles/month.
Ah yes - California is expensive. But even with your numbers, still much cheaper than gasoline!
About 6 cents also in Quebec City.
Love the Model Y,P thanks for the research !! and the 1000 mile charge code.Pan to get my Y 2021.
Glad you found the video useful!
BMW includes the maintenance for the 3-year/36,000 mile.
BMW X3 doesn't have a timing belt, it has a timing chain that doesn't need to be replaced in the 6 years of ownership.
The cost of the tires are missing, about $1,600/set and the owner will go through a few sets in the 6 years of ownership
The 6 cents per KWH of electricity looks really low. Can you confirm that cost?
Thanks for the additional info. Yes, each manufacturer and their offers may differ - I was trying to find 2 common/generic examples to compare to, in my video. Spot on for the tire costs and for the electricity - that varies also by state, city, suburb and also time of the year. So you may not experience the same costs I do.
Very useful video. The only thing I could add this that BWM oil changes are included in the retail price for the duration of the warranty.
There is coolant that needs to be changed and it isn’t exactly cheap.
Why would anyone buy a new car?
Your electric rate of .06 is extremely low and your gasoline cost is much higher than most of USA. Also, your estimate of replacing brake pads every 2 years is ridiculous. I have had my Ford Fusion 88,000 and am still on original brakes. The Model Y savings is much less than your comparison, maybe 800 to 1000 per year. You must also calculate the lost opportunity cost of the additional up front of the model Y. In favor of the model Y is the likelihood of a higher trade in/resale value. Both of these should also be considered for your comparison to be complete.
really wanted to watch this, but looping the same 10 second music clip for 20 minutes was driving me insane. i kindly and humbly suggest no music in future videos.
Thanks for the feedback, Mike - and sorry it bothered you!
Nice breakdown but, dude, $150 for a tire rotation? Typically it costs about $30.
I know this doesn’t differ between EV and ICE vehicles so it doesn’t affect a cost comparison, but it’s way off.
Just food for thought.
Really? I guess it depends on whether or not you go to the dealership to get it done. 😅
@@DanielsBrew I suppose the other thing you have to consider is that the maintenance on some ICE luxury cars is crazy. I had to get my brake pads changed on a BMW once and the parts alone were $1200. Contrast that to say a Chevy where they are less than $100. That fact alone is a plus for a vehicle that doesn’t need brake replacement as often.
FYI: based on limited research (meaning google) tire rotation by a Tesla dealer is $75. If you go to somewhere like Midas it’ll be $50 or less.
BMW has few years of free maintenance. You need to subtract that accordingly
Actually there is battery coolant.
For newer Tesla vehicles, the owner's manual states that "The battery coolant does not need to be replaced for the life of your vehicle, under normal circumstances." So hopefully no new Model Y owner has to go through this!
Replacing brake pads on ICE car 25k miles!!!? More like 100k mikes unless you ride your brakes.
Wow, you must be a very efficient driver to go 100k miles without changing your brakes. Even Bridgestone says the average is around 30k-35k miles according to an article on their site: www.bridgestonetire.com/tread-and-trend/drivers-ed/when-to-replace-brake-pads. For me, my personal experience is around 30k miles, which is in-line with the average.
I bought a Model Y. My choice wasn't about cost or carbon. I love the simplicity. No fluids, pumps, belts, exhaust, etc. Once you've driven a Tesla you'll get it. You feel connected in a way that can't be described until you drive one. The week prior to getting my Model Y I drove my friend's 911 Carrera 4s. My Y feels tighter and faster. And the dual-clutch was frightening in the 911. It worked amazingly well but I'd never be comfortable owning something so complex.
One note on cost: Others say that Teslas go through tires faster. I believe that is probably true because I drive it harder and faster than ICE cars.
Great perspective, Mark!
The deposit is refundable
Actually, it’s only refundable for the Cyber truck. For the model S, 3, X, Y - it explicitly says non-refundable on the website.
Depreciation
Is there an option to view the video without the music? That music is terribly annoying!
Hi, if you can help me out with your referral code, I'd appreciate, I just ordered my tasla model Y,
Hi Yehuda, here you go! ts.la/daniel6324
But since you ordered already, you will likely have to take this code (daniel6324) and ask a Tesla Store associate to add it for you manually.
Welcome to the Tesla family!
@@DanielsBrew who would you recommend for car insurance for a young first time car owner ?
Car insurance rates will vary by state and other factors like your credit score, etc. I would make sure you compare rates across all the major carriers like Geico, Allstate, Farmers, etc. Good luck!
@@DanielsBrew Thanks bro!
$.06 per kWh hour is most unusual. There are delivery fees and other fees from the Electrical supplier. Figure more like .12 to .15 per kWh and in Calif the more you use the more you pay. Typical rates in Orange County is $.26 and running up to $.35 per kWh. Using these figures makes a big difference in your figures from double to triple. Also look at the price Tesla supercharger as well. There are fears in a Tesla and they do require lubricants. A Tesla is no a decent choice unless you are a gob smacked green washer Elon lover. Don’t mind terrible service and being ignored.
Hi William, I happen to live in a state that has one of the lowest electricity costs in the nation. But you are correct, I did not add in the transmission or distribution costs. My transmission cost is $0.0024 and my distribution cost is $0.04. That means if I add it all up, it comes out to about $0.10 per kWh. But when I charge my Model Y - I only charge at off peak hours, between 2am and 4am, so the costs could be lower. If you live in CA, your numbers would definitely be higher, but there are places in the nation that have very low electricity charges.
I am interested in a TeSla...not a teZla
Do you think algebra is high level math? If yes, do not buy an EV. 🤣 Just joke comrade, drive a lot? have home charger? buy Tesla.
To much music.
I was going to wait it out for a dual motor cybertruck but now with Tesla shares increasing how they are I think I might be able to get a Tesla sooner. Maybe just a lease to start until the cybertruck comes out. I do have a business plan in mind and for those that do not own their own house for Tesla solar I think there is another option. As you well know SpaceX and starlink are run by Elon Musk he as well is the CEO of Tesla. Solar panels are tightly folded to expand once they are in orbit. Consider having a solar shelter you could quickly unfold and have it securely surrounding your vehicle and keeping you and it out of the dust heat or cold. If the parking lot had a place that you could connect your Tesla to the grid not only would the solar be charging your vehicle but the battery could also be charging the grid. Of course the vehicle to grid software would make it easy for your Tesla to be making you money when it's parked and your solar shelter could continue offering power to the grid if you don't need to bring it with you. Let me know what you think of these ideas or if you have some of your own to add. I do appreciate all of you and your comments. Now this is the time to fix our future fast!

Sorry, but I couldn’t take the constant background music.
As a BMW X5 owner, I feel the stats listed are somewhat inflated, and hey, the do come with floor mats lol I do plan on purchasing a Tesla but I feel like a solid state battery is coming, the range definitely needs to get over 400. Apple hasn't said much on their battery but I guarantee they will best Tesla because they have to to drive the market.
I got a good idea, lets eliminate the difference between "z" and "s" in our speech.
Do you mean "zee" or "zed". What are you talking about
Elon's neurolink could fix his eyes. But for now he could call them biggie smalls and would probably good for his brand making his content more memorable.
Please stop saying it like “Tezzla.” You don’t sound like Elon. It sounds cringey. Please say it normally like “Tesla”

This is laughable. Your assumptions are so far from reality, you might already be on Mars. First, why compare a model Y to expensive BMW and Mercedes to begin with. I don't see any luxury in a spartan interior with fake leather and some no name sound system just to start.
Secondly, anyone in th car industry knows putting 50% down on a car is rare. Thirdly, who is paying $150 to rotate tires except maybe the Tesla dealer.. If your paying $1800 to rotate tires for 5 years, you might have sucker tattoos on your head. You totally forgot to add tire replacement costs as it is probably the highest expense of driving a tesla. Teslas go thru tires faster than any other car I've seen. There's a video with a guy who drove his tesla 200k miles and he breaks down all his maintenance and service. He paid beaucoup bucks with tesla for front suspension replacements, emu computers and display screens.. Just those alone totalled over 7K dollars.
Your calculation is a total BS whack job. At the office parking lot also offers charging at no cost for employees, I can charge my M3 anytime i want plus it's way enough to hit back home
It's important to realize that not everyone has an office parking lot that offers free charging to their employees.
This is an ad. I’m not really interested. Thank you.
Any discussion of a Tesla is an "ad". Can't be avoided. They're that good. Of course "interest" is subjective and your lack of interest not really important to the video.
What about insurance costs? Would’ve been nice to get a whole picture of ownership with that in mind as well for a grand total
Hey Jeffery, good point. But for insurance, the reason I left it out was because it varies so widely by user's driving history and what carrier they go with. There are also many different types of incentives/discounts depending on which program you go with (like easy drive discounts, etc).
@@DanielsBrew Yes, but what are the different insurance costs for the same driver between say, a Toyota Highlander fully equipped and the Tesla Model Y? That sort of comparison would have been helpful and fair.
Minor detail, but it costs less for the annual inspection for an EV car, because you don't need the emissions inspection. This saves about $10 per year.
What do you guys think about the Model Y? Let me know!
