Maybe this will be helpful for someone. When I purchased my M3 RWD in December 2023, I took it to Discount Tire (America's Tire) and purchased the Road Hazzard tire warranty for my brand new tires! Did you know you can do that? It cost $170 total. Pricey? Maybe, but if I have a tire puncture or tire failure, I can get a free replacement (but will need to buy a new warranty for just that tire, about $35-$40). ALSO, all tire rotations and balancing are FREE. So if you are paying $40 per rotation, it basically pays for itself in 4 rotations or 26,000 miles. Hope this helps. Thanks for your recap!!!
How are you on one set of tires? Pls share. I have a model y (I’ve had it for 3 yrs) 42k miles and I’m going on my 3rd pair of tires. I don’t drive fast and I’m a stay @ home mom. Is it my settings?
@@capt.swarvaski1545 I honestly wish I knew. I’ve heard tires laying anywhere from 20k-60k miles, generally a little less in the Y. But 3 sets seems very excessive
Put 40k on my 2022 model Y, no complaints, only costs are wind shield wiper fluid and 1 tire rotation, oh, 1 air filter change, that's it. Loving the car still after 2 years.
It’s not that hard to do if you literally have a problem doing that maybe you shouldn’t be driving in the first place just saying that if you have a problem changing your oil and fluid do you have a problem with changing the sort of food that affects your diet not trying to say that’s the same thing but it’s literally almost the exact same thing. It’s just you’re putting it inside of you versus your car.😂
The all weather floor mats are a game changer, I’ve got 2 huskies so I feel you with the dog hair. The Lilly brush is also a big help to get dog hair out of the carpet.
Second recommendation for the Lilly brush - will definitely take a look at it! Also, another one of these comments asked where to get windows tinted - I threw your name out there!
For the deep scratch on the rocker panel. Go get your paint code and get a touch up pen or a little mixed bottle and fill it in after you've washed it. If you want, you can ppf it after it's colored in.
Great video as always !!! I live in Phoenix so I have you beat in regards to the 🔥 😂😂. I have my M3 LR since March. It is still going strong. I love this car. Will only get Tesla. My car is literally faster than a lot of crotch rockets and yes I know😉 😉. I'm 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Tesla will make the boost available for this model as I will get it in a heartbeat!!! I'm glad you still have your original tires. This is impressive. I don't always drive fast but if I'm in the front of the line or going on the highway I enjoy the car if you know what I mean 😂😂. There are no squeaks rattles or creaks. I love the tech and minimalism. I love having no stalks. It puts a smile on my face every time I get to drive it. I seriously make excuses so I can drive the car. I absolutely love one pedal driving such a game changer. Taking off seatbelt to go into park something so simple yet makes life so much easier. I agree with you standard autopilot is awesome. I take freeway home from work and not having to constantly accelerate and brake letting the car do it is extremely relaxing. It's funny if someone cuts me off while I'm on autopilot I just say well my car doesn't mind why should I where if I'm driving and someone cuts me off I get annoyed and frustrated😂😂 I enjoy these types of videos that show us " after several mi " Keep these coming.

Your comments tempt me to get the new Model 3 Performance so I don't want to read them 😂 but I love that you are enjoying it as much as you have - still remember you commenting when you were waiting for it!
@@vegasteslafamily that is awesome you still remember my comments from when I was waiting and thinking about getting this car !! Considering how many comments you read on a given video !! It means a lot. I am like 5 percent wishing I bought the performance but I'm really satisfied with my purchase as I really don't need it. You on the other hand can use it for making content which would be awesome !! I'm like you especially with my cars I get my moneys worth and keep them for a long time. I had a 16.5 Kia Spectra that I probably would still have if it wasn't totaled in a hit and run. So I plan to have this car for 15-20 years before upgrading to the next Model 3. Maybe the next car will be the performance. 😁😎. If you decide on getting the Model S that is a beautiful car in itself. You should consider getting the Plaid !! That would be something !!! I enjoy your content so I will subscribe. 👍🏻
awesome that you're still on the original tires! literally the biggest cost saver! i'm too still on the original tires at 55k on the model Y. could look like it can do another 5k easily.
My glass roof front part develop a stress crack so i need to replaced it. Its out of basic warranty. Never changed the tires. Had 2 very small warranty repairs, left door hinge noise and the left side mirror not unfolding fully, they repaired for free right at my house. Model 3 2020. Running as smooth as day one. 31000k miles. Great vehicle
Nice Honest Review, I own a 2023 Model Y with 32k miles, just installed a Home Charger to save $$ instead of Supercharging 😅😅, I bought Tire 🛞 Certificates from Discount Tire for $267, came in hand when 1 of the 20in Goodyears needed replacing from a nail near the sidewall , bought vent covers for the rear floor vents to prevent debris from entering the ventilation system causing odd sounds and bad odors, bought a tempered glass screen protector and mud guards. Things I wished I bought sooner was PPF Protection for the front end and rear quarter panels. ❤❤
Look in between the spokes of the wheel for tiny weights, that’s from balancing. Tires are not naturally weighted evenly all around and these weights placed in precise spots balance them so that they are and they roll smoothly 👍
Simple estimate for me is that for every 5k-10k miles driven, you’d save 500-1k dollars depending on the actual gas car you’d drive. So for 50k miles you’d save 5-10k dollars. I usually compared it to the Jeep grand Cherokee bc that’s what I could’ve drove if I did not get my Model Y.
Thank you for this summary. After this and MANY such like this writer traded his 2019 Kia Niro BEV for a low miles Model 03, dual motor, long range. This was well cared for, many 'mods' [puddle lights & roof tint, for two] and a worlds removed difference from the Niro. Said one owner--There are EVs and then there is Tesla. Sidebar; the super charging network will be a huge boon, the CCS 'chews ropes'. I do not mind the time spent charging; its the time to seek a latrine, chow, or drinks, or just get out a move a bit. This is not some race between one propulsion system vs another to see who 'wins'.
There's such a huge variance in how long tires are lasting Tesla owners. I've heard from 10k - 50k. I'm at 23k miles but the treads are at 4/32 so I'll most likely have to get a new set at about 25k miles. I recently switched to mostly chill mode.. however, at times, I still want the performance.
2021 M3 Sr, 48k miles. 1year ownership, replaced air filter, windshield wipers and fluid. Under warranty i did have to change my hv battery and had a seat sensor. Got a loaner for a week and free supercharging w it. With fsd I think its more of a want then need and think autopilot is enough. Had covid at a friend's house and had to drive 4 hours back home and gotta say autopilot def saved me. It was days after I tested positive and felt like my whole head was on fire
37400 flawless miles in yEVonne (our China built UK Y LR) since Dec 1 2022. Same as most here, washer fluid & tyres only expenses other than charging. It is so reliable that if 20% of world had a modern Tesla, ICE and even any EV mechanics would go bankrupt. (Hard for businesses to survive if their market starts shrinking.)
@@vegasteslafamily yea I hear ya, but still seems like a less than ideal branch of the company still. I’m used to state farm being super accommodating. In my area (Illinois) average cost is $330/month
So for the fuel equivalent, the cost will vary based on the type of vehicle it’s being compared to. Compare this to a RAV4 Prime, a Prius, base model civic and heck include a Honda Pilot for example to see the savings diversity.

If the point is to save money and get great mileage my RAV4 Hybrid (bought new, 2021 model) w/60k problem free miles, average of 38 mpg (44 around town) is hard to beat. Carvana offered $23k. What kills Tesla (and all EVs) is depreciation. Save $20k and buy a two year old one ;-)
@@vegasteslafamily True, but like I said "if the point is to save money" AND get great mileage buy used, if you want new, get a hybrid since new Tesla's depreciate so much.
Those two scratches on the driver side might just buff out. I’d check with a professional detailer if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself. There are also places that repair wheels if the road rash really bothers you. Doesn’t hurt to get a price.
Tried to buff them awhile ago. they got better - they used to be a little longer. The curb rash doesn't bother me, can barely see it. Just had to get a shot at my fiance lol
I'm shocked that you never put mats in the car. I bit the bullet and got the Kagu 3D mats right after delivery and LOVE THEM... You need to get a set of those!!!
100k on my 2022 Model Y (99,644 miles). I have a similar story: BEST CAR I EVER OWNED (over the past 40 yr., we owned a Lexus LX470, 5 Toyota's, 2 Volvos, 2 Nissans, my F250, Dodge Caravan, Isuzu Trooper) Rotated my tires at 42k miles but didn't need to because the tread wear was very even Replaced my tires for first time at 68,500 miles (my daily drive has been 130 miles round trip = 1 hr. each way and I cruise steadily on I-95 within 3 mph of the 70 mph speed limit and take the cloverleafs at 30 mph) I charge at my separate FPL electric meter (I live in a condo with a meter at my parking spot with time of use rate = buy electricity at 8 cents/kWh off-peak instead of 14 cents/kWh - this is all in rate that includes taxes, etc.) I have saved over $18,000 (my F250 is rarely used) since diesel rose to almost $6/gallon during BidenEconomics I live at the beach with heavy salt spray, so I have used 5 gallons of wiper fluid It saved my bacon when someone failed to yield the right of way and barely skinned my bumper (at 40 mph, I stopped in less than 50 ft. when avg. stopping distance is 126 ft. because of regenerative braking and super fast response). Replaced 3 sets of Tesla wipers Skipped through 20 oil changes Skipped through brakes, the tire shop said my rotors were down 2 mm on 2 rotors and 3 mm on the other 2 rotors (brakes should last between 200k to 250k miles) Skipped through alignments (all wheel drive with computer aided steering yields smooth wear) No maintenance on these: no plugs, no wires, no coils, no water pump, brake fluid, muffler, radiator, coolant, and a whole lot more. I don't use Full Self Driving (not comfortable with it) but I use the auto-centering cruise control with reactive braking (its called Auto Steer) 2022: 80% of charging at home 2023: 98% of charging at home 2024: 85% of charging at home ________________________________ We bought my wife a 2024 Model Y also. It is a very simple plan and Tesla's price is around $37,500 + tax, tag & title. Wait, there's more to tell you about how great this car is...!
To touch on the insurance thing! I’m in SoCal had insurance through Allstate and when we got our ‘22 M3LR our insurance went from $320 up to $500 something. We immediately canceled and got Tesla insurance for $300 a month. $500 Allstate was $1000 deduct $2500 medpay 100k/300k coverage. $300Tesla is now $250 deduct $2500/$5000 medpay (I forget which) 250k/500k coverage. $0 incidental too. 🤙 so on paper Tesla insurance wins!
Hey @VegasTeslafamily I feel that a feature not taken into account is that a service provided by Tesla that saves a lot at super chargers is the monthly charging subscription for 13$ that allows you to charge 5x a day every day for the month and would be an annual cost of 156/yr max. 🤙🏼
Hey I’m in vegas as well where did you go to rotate your tires for $40? I currently have a model y and was just curious. Love your content by the way I’m a new subscriber!
Tire works in southern highlands! Thanks for watching! 😁

Hi guys, love your videos, I’m seriously considering buying a Tesla 3 maybe next year and like you, we live in Vegas but frequently visit our kids and grandkids in Chicago also and was curious of road trips to Chicago and back and your videos were very helpful, thanks
Great video. Just curious, driving in Vegas, where no one drives at the speed limit. Ex. 65 mph limit, people drive at 70-75+. How do you drive with the Tesla insurance monitoring your speed?
Tire warranty is covered brand or dealership, unknowns of warranty is through Tesla dealer? If anyone can answer that would be helpful. Yes at Discount tire, you are able to get warranty coverage, helps especially for nail/screws patch’s or needing a replacement tire. Saves in the end. Same have watched several videos on Tesla experience and your video sir is excellent. Looking to get one in a few years last payment home upgrades, but will be looking forward to it, looking at a Tesla M3P, the take off reminds me of the Mr. Freeze coaster at Six Flags in Dallas early 2000’s.
I wonder what the savings would be in NJ. The gas has been cheaper these last couple of years and I think the supercharger cost is also cheaper than LV or CA.
I'm a Claims Adjuster for an insurance company and if the other party doesn't have insurance, depending on the state, the Insurance company pursues the deductible directly from the at fault party and the process can take up to 1 year or longer. So I would say that process is normal.
I'm getting claims adjusters from different companies responding to me before I get my own claims adjuster. What's the legality of your client leaving multiple emails, texts, and voicemails and not returning any of those for months? If it'll take months or over a year, can they at least tell me? That's all I'm trying to ask. I haven't heard from them since they hooked me up with a rental car when it was repaired - back in Feb.
@@vegasteslafamily understandable on the customer service part of things since you are paying that premium. The company that I work does respond though unlike Tesla 😂.
I was thinking about Tesla insurance. But now I'm having 2nd thoughts . If you can't get a hold of them. There is no point. Let me know if Tesla insurance got back to you
Try All State insurance not sure if you have it out in Vegas, but I think it’s available across the USA? Anyways dropped Tesla insurance for All State & don’t have to stress about driving and I’m saving money which is even more impressive. I don’t have the patience to always drive on a 98 score. I averaged a 96-97 my last few months
This was very informative. I've been curious about buying a used Tesla. If you ever get that Model 3 dirty, we could do a colab video, and I can detail it on my channel.
My issue is the payment monthly. With gas included I still pay WAY less than what tesla wants monthly. I don’t drive much now either cuz I work remote and travel for that job. What’s your tesla monthly vs the previous car payment?
The current rate deals help! I never had a car payment before the 3 or y - I bought the Kia Forte for $6,000 cash lol. We pay about $550/mo for the 3 and $570/mo for the Y.
Great video. I’m in a step to lease a Electric vehicle and thinking whether it will be Tesla, another EV or Hybrid. And yes, this is my first car in my life as a new driver…. Brain storm. Hard decision.
@@vegasteslafamily Thanks. I opened the link and it gives a message: “Carmen’s Referral Limit Has Been Reached This referral link is no longer valid”. Try to rebuild & reopen and let me know. I want only Tesla, and main reason is because of its FSD. My test is toward the end of this month. Try to rebuild & reopen it and let me know. No rush. Let me know. Feel free to contact me.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I’m here in vegas as well and I just got my model Y last week, still learning how to use this car now lol. Quick question, I just tint my front windows driver side and passenger side, idk if I should tint my windshield too, because it is hot when I’m driving especially facing sunlight, but I’m also worrying about the visibility if I tint it
Congrats! ⚡️ So we have 30% on our windshield, which is about as dark as I'd go. Little dark at night lol. Jo has 55% on the Y - that's the sweet spot. Does not affect night visibility but makes a huge difference in the heat. Absolutely recommend windshield tint AND roof shades especially here in vegas. I linked where we got ours in our description - but any will make a huge difference.
I have the same make and year.....I as well do not drive crazy and rotated tires 2 times but at 20k I had 4/32 tread left and a state required inspection coming up and had to replace the tires. I got the cheapest I could get.....700 with tax and so on, and so far they are great. Don't notice a decrease in ride comfort so they will be what I get from now on since I seem to eat tread 3 times a day
Which brand and model tires did you get? 700 seems pretty cheap. I got quoted by Costco at 1,150. My M3 is at 23k miles and 4/32.. I will replace after 3/32.
@winnerdanny7 chill mode is great until you actually need to get out of your own way.....I don't do abrupt takeoffs anyway so chill mode is useless to me
I have a M3 and I use to get 272 miles on full charge and now I get 264miles on a full charge with 19k miles on it. I love my M3 since I drive 90 miles a day. But I am worried about losing range. Do you think I should stop using cabin protection?
O ya trade in values will kill you. If you want to figure out what it's worth a combination of KBB, Carfax, and what other like used cars are listed for now is a far better indicator. We were looking to get a trade in for my Mom's RX350. Most offered around $2200, and the highest was at $3100. I ended up selling it for her and we got $7200 for it. With trade in they always low ball the shit out of the person so they can make solid margin even if it needs repaired
I’d just inquire what the range is at 100% charge. It’ll be less of course but shouldn’t be too much less, and if it’s a number you’re good with, it should be just fine!
The Corolla Civic yes we use a lot of more gas, but it will get you farther than the EV because once you run out of battery for your EV, you have to sit there for 25 to 30 minutes for it to get fully charged. That’s the whole point if you wanna sit there and waste time go ahead and do that but if you wanna just get to your destination it’s not that hard to doespecially if you’re just gonna sit at a gas station for three minutes and pump and go that’s the whole point of this video but this guy’s trying to make it seem like his EV is completely better when there’s nothing better about it except it’s cooler😂
@@vegasteslafamily I noticed it when the camera zoomed in on the rear nearside (left) tyre. Might be my eyes playing up but look to the far inside of the bottom tread pattern and the grooves look like they are missing from the flat surface.
@@vegasteslafamilyTo be exact, look at the close up of the rear nearside (left) tyre at minute 6:26 of the vid. Divide the tyre into 5 sections where the surface of the tyre (tire in USA of course) touches the ground. Number them 1 to 5 from left to right. No 5 surface is smooth. No biggie as I said. Damn good mileage for the tyres overall.
@@vegasteslafamily All good. Tesla looks great. Haven’t yet bought mine but I will be choosing either Tesla or one of the other better known brands. Watching as many of these vids as possible to decide. Thanks for the great video
Nah I have to disagree man FDD is insane it's not perfect sure nothing is but it has a mishap or something once in a while but overall it's been great on my 2024 model 3
Good video , very informative , would of been helpful if you posted the price of a KWH at your house so that nonEV at home people could calculate there savings, U right carpets R dirt magnets, I bough 11 piece Mat set for $200 Amazon
with updates make tesla owners not want to resell them because of exciting new features like fsd updates and many others making the point of resell not that valid so much to the buyer, i think
@@vegasteslafamily Surely they give you the option to limit them to only the lowest speed or something? Long as there's even a little airflow with a cracked window it should be plenty.
Using carvana and carmax to figure resale value is problematic as they both lowball over KBB private resale value. It can be thousands off even Tesla lowballs a couple of thousand over the lowest private sale value.
A private sale and selling to Carvana is not the same thing. I sold my car a couple years ago to Carvana and they beat everyone. You need to remember an EV loses more value than an ICE car and it was in two accidents and he drives a lot.
@@dcam456 well I was saying to sell it privately. Having any repaired documented damage should hurt the value somewhat but in the end not much. I mean if you have frame damage it might if it was reported to car fax. EV versus ICE depends on the types of cars being compared. My honda Odyssey has retained alot more value than a dodge caravan because honda is better. But if you take your vehicles beyond 5 years then I would say its a wash as the depreciation will start to flatten out. I dont pay attention to depreciation as I routinely take my vehicles beyond 12 years so they end up making me money over that time frame.
If you all are looking for the best deal on a new Tesla I just bough a 2024 demo M3 AWD LR with less than 1000miles for $5050 off the list price plus $7500 for incentives and $500 from a random persons Tesla referral from Reddit. Total price was the same as CarMax 22 M3 LR $38k TOTAL. Look for those low mile Demos folks!!!
Helps when you dont have a performance model y... the fact that the tires are different sizes in the front vs rear means these tires are gonna last me like 10k miles 😂
Oh boy I’m glad I live in California where Tesla insurance can’t use the safety score. I don’t want to drive paranoid thinking everything I’m doing “wrong” is going to cost me money!
Because you guys are more likely older drivers you don’t understand this is not gonna come into effect with people who are in their 20s. This whole insurance thing doesn’t matter because you literally have to have experience of being a driver first to have that to end his play this wholedebate doesn’t make any sense. Who cares about your insurance when you literally have to be an experienced driver to get that on your record first.
This guy doesnt race, 50,000 miles on original tires. Thats insane. If your race everyday and every stop light, your dual motor long range tesla tires will last around 22,000 miles
@@vegasteslafamily we’re not saying you don’t race but you don’t drive the car expectantly every day like a regular person does to wear 50 K miles on a car to you is going to be different from somebody who has to go to work every day
dude you are not doing it right in insurance, you should get a quote yourself from a insurance company with different cars like BMW or Toyota and compare them. For my case, I used to pay 100 per month with Acura TLX (2021) and now i'm paying 220/month after switching to Model Y last month. EV, especially Tesla's repair cost is almost double of ICE vehicle so most of people would pay more in insurance when they switch to Tesla
Using the national average for insurance isn't accurate at all. Your video is misleading because it suggests that switching to a Tesla will save you money on insurance, which isn't true in most cases.
I’m 2k in on my 24 red model 3. Taking it for a road trip to the Bay Area this weekend. I’m scared it’s gonna get rock chips should I tape the front with painters tape? I don’t have a bra yet.
Hi, I’m an Auto Insurance Adjuster. If the other car didn’t have insurance; you won’t get your deductible back unless Tesla Insurance gets a Judgement against the owner of the other car and he pays them. Also the ChatGPT analysis of car insurance is just dumb. Too many individual factors to even compare Auto Insurance between different people. If you wanted a comparison you should’ve just gotten a quote for yourself with a gas car and then compared that to Tesla.
Tesla tires 100% get worn out faster, for 2 reasons, once is because the weight, and the other is because people like to floor it in these cars. If you aren't driving the car and having fun, your tires will last longer.
@@vegasteslafamily Your car weighs 3800 pounds, even a big heavy sedan like the honda accord is only 3200 pounds. Compared to the average car the model 3 is very heavy. Even my old 2006 eclipse gt with a 3.8L engine only weighed around 3300 pounds.
Hi Carmen, great video. Thanks in part to your channel I also bought a 24 model 3 two months ago. Love it so far! Electricity is averaging me about 34.00 a month compared to 250.00 for gas. Now I have an idea of what to look forward to for at least two years. We also live in Vegas(Henderson). Hope to meet you one day. Cheers!

Maybe this will be helpful for someone. When I purchased my M3 RWD in December 2023, I took it to Discount Tire (America's Tire) and purchased the Road Hazzard tire warranty for my brand new tires! Did you know you can do that? It cost $170 total. Pricey? Maybe, but if I have a tire puncture or tire failure, I can get a free replacement (but will need to buy a new warranty for just that tire, about $35-$40). ALSO, all tire rotations and balancing are FREE. So if you are paying $40 per rotation, it basically pays for itself in 4 rotations or 26,000 miles. Hope this helps. Thanks for your recap!!!
WIsh we did this! We got a flat on th eY that had to be replaces - cost more than $170 insurance would have
Uhhh wow that’s sick! I’m a tire nut and didn’t know this! Thanks for learning me something new. 🤓
@@JorJorBinks123 Awesome. Glad to help
I work for Discount Tire and I’m very happy we took care of you. It’s a great company!

Put 40k on my 2022 model Y, no complaints, only costs are wind shield wiper fluid and 1 tire rotation, oh, 1 air filter change, that's it. Loving the car still after 2 years.
You still on the same tires? How you got them to last that long

Zero oil changes and fluids is honestly the most appealing thing to me.

I agree with you standard autopilot is awesome. I take freeway home from work and not having to constantly accelerate and brake letting the car do it is extremely relaxing. It's funny if someone cuts me off while I'm on autopilot I just say well my car doesn't mind why should I where if I'm driving and someone cuts me off I get annoyed and frustrated😂😂
I enjoy these types of videos that show us " after several mi " Keep these coming.

Your comments tempt me to get the new Model 3 Performance so I don't want to read them 😂 but I love that you are enjoying it as much as you have - still remember you commenting when you were waiting for it!
@@vegasteslafamily that is awesome you still remember my comments from when I was waiting and thinking about getting this car !! Considering how many comments you read on a given video !! It means a lot. I am like 5 percent wishing I bought the performance but I'm really satisfied with my purchase as I really don't need it. You on the other hand can use it for making content which would be awesome !! I'm like you especially with my cars I get my moneys worth and keep them for a long time. I had a 16.5 Kia Spectra that I probably would still have if it wasn't totaled in a hit and run. So I plan to have this car for 15-20 years before upgrading to the next Model 3. Maybe the next car will be the performance. 😁😎. If you decide on getting the Model S that is a beautiful car in itself. You should consider getting the Plaid !! That would be something !!!
I enjoy your content so I will subscribe. 👍🏻
awesome that you're still on the original tires! literally the biggest cost saver!
i'm too still on the original tires at 55k on the model Y. could look like it can do another 5k easily.
That’s a lot on the Y! Nice work!
My glass roof front part develop a stress crack so i need to replaced it. Its out of basic warranty. Never changed the tires. Had 2 very small warranty repairs, left door hinge noise and the left side mirror not unfolding fully, they repaired for free right at my house. Model 3 2020. Running as smooth as day one. 31000k miles. Great vehicle
Have heard of that happening. Glad you are enjoying it!
Nice Honest Review, I own a 2023 Model Y with 32k miles, just installed a Home Charger to save $$ instead of Supercharging 😅😅, I bought Tire 🛞 Certificates from Discount Tire for $267, came in hand when 1 of the 20in Goodyears needed replacing from a nail near the sidewall , bought vent covers for the rear floor vents to prevent debris from entering the ventilation system causing odd sounds and bad odors, bought a tempered glass screen protector and mud guards. Things I wished I bought sooner was PPF Protection for the front end and rear quarter panels. ❤❤
Those are all great things! Glad you got that warranty for the tires especially! Wish we did that
Look in between the spokes of the wheel for tiny weights, that’s from balancing. Tires are not naturally weighted evenly all around and these weights placed in precise spots balance them so that they are and they roll smoothly 👍
This is good to know! Haha thank you
Simple estimate for me is that for every 5k-10k miles driven, you’d save 500-1k dollars depending on the actual gas car you’d drive. So for 50k miles you’d save 5-10k dollars. I usually compared it to the Jeep grand Cherokee bc that’s what I could’ve drove if I did not get my Model Y.
Math checks out!
Thank you for this summary. After this and MANY such like this writer traded his 2019 Kia Niro BEV for a low miles Model 03, dual motor, long range. This was well cared for, many 'mods' [puddle lights & roof tint, for two] and a worlds removed difference from the Niro. Said one owner--There are EVs and then there is Tesla. Sidebar; the super charging network will be a huge boon, the CCS 'chews ropes'. I do not mind the time spent charging; its the time to seek a latrine, chow, or drinks, or just get out a move a bit. This is not some race between one propulsion system vs another to see who 'wins'.
I like this! Agree
There's such a huge variance in how long tires are lasting Tesla owners. I've heard from 10k - 50k. I'm at 23k miles but the treads are at 4/32 so I'll most likely have to get a new set at about 25k miles. I recently switched to mostly chill mode.. however, at times, I still want the performance.
10k is low! Evern 23k is low from what I've seen. I hear about 40-50k usually
2021 M3 Sr, 48k miles. 1year ownership, replaced air filter, windshield wipers and fluid.
Under warranty i did have to change my hv battery and had a seat sensor. Got a loaner for a week and free supercharging w it.
With fsd I think its more of a want then need and think autopilot is enough.
Had covid at a friend's house and had to drive 4 hours back home and gotta say autopilot def saved me. It was days after I tested positive and felt like my whole head was on fire
@@AddyKnows nice! Autopilot is definitely enough for now. Huge lifesaver on those trips
37400 flawless miles in yEVonne (our China built UK Y LR) since Dec 1 2022. Same as most here, washer fluid & tyres only expenses other than charging. It is so reliable that if 20% of world had a modern Tesla, ICE and even any EV mechanics would go bankrupt. (Hard for businesses to survive if their market starts shrinking.)
We are approaching that time - it’s just a matter of when
The insurance costs are insane vs ICE car, so negates the savings in other areas a tad. But dunno might still buy one
@@Joey_DiGs I saved with Tesla insurance
@@vegasteslafamily yea I hear ya, but still seems like a less than ideal branch of the company still. I’m used to state farm being super accommodating. In my area (Illinois) average cost is $330/month
So for the fuel equivalent, the cost will vary based on the type of vehicle it’s being compared to. Compare this to a RAV4 Prime, a Prius, base model civic and heck include a Honda Pilot for example to see the savings diversity.
I can - and will make a separate video just on costs
Yay first comment. Awesome video. Your model 3 still looks new after 50k 😮

Crazy you think Tesla is cheaper to insure than other cars, my insurance went up $60 a month from a BMW 5 series to a model Y
@@albertwong5897 nice! Mine went down from my kia forte
If the point is to save money and get great mileage my RAV4 Hybrid (bought new, 2021 model) w/60k problem free miles, average of 38 mpg (44 around town) is hard to beat. Carvana offered $23k. What kills Tesla (and all EVs) is depreciation. Save $20k and buy a two year old one ;-)
38mpg is hard to beat, but the Tesla beats it lol
@@vegasteslafamily True, but like I said "if the point is to save money" AND get great mileage buy used, if you want new, get a hybrid since new Tesla's depreciate so much.
That’s A lot of miles in two years but glad to hear all well with the car !
Oh and road trip!!!!
Ha! Every time we road trip we think of you. I'll have a surprise one for you in 2-3 weeks
Awesome
Those two scratches on the driver side might just buff out. I’d check with a professional detailer if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself. There are also places that repair wheels if the road rash really bothers you. Doesn’t hurt to get a price.
Tried to buff them awhile ago. they got better - they used to be a little longer. The curb rash doesn't bother me, can barely see it. Just had to get a shot at my fiance lol

@@vegasteslafamily I have the same mats. Easy to clean but also just look great
Great video and thanks for sharing your 50k miles experience.
Thank you for watching!
the rear tires looks to have a camber issue with the alignment, the inner is significantly more worn and based on that it should be replaced.
Interesting never noticed
look into a carpet scraper. should help a ton for the pet hair. you can even use it around your house. having pets its a must have.
First I’ve heard of this. Were liking the Lily brush but always looking for something better or easier! Thank you
100k on my 2022 Model Y (99,644 miles). I have a similar story:
BEST CAR I EVER OWNED (over the past 40 yr., we owned a Lexus LX470, 5 Toyota's, 2 Volvos, 2 Nissans, my F250, Dodge Caravan, Isuzu Trooper)
Rotated my tires at 42k miles but didn't need to because the tread wear was very even
Replaced my tires for first time at 68,500 miles (my daily drive has been 130 miles round trip = 1 hr. each way and I cruise steadily on I-95 within 3 mph of the 70 mph speed limit and take the cloverleafs at 30 mph)
I charge at my separate FPL electric meter (I live in a condo with a meter at my parking spot with time of use rate = buy electricity at 8 cents/kWh off-peak instead of 14 cents/kWh - this is all in rate that includes taxes, etc.)
I have saved over $18,000 (my F250 is rarely used) since diesel rose to almost $6/gallon during BidenEconomics
I live at the beach with heavy salt spray, so I have used 5 gallons of wiper fluid
It saved my bacon when someone failed to yield the right of way and barely skinned my bumper (at 40 mph, I stopped in less than 50 ft. when avg. stopping distance is 126 ft. because of regenerative braking and super fast response).
Replaced 3 sets of Tesla wipers
Skipped through 20 oil changes
Skipped through brakes, the tire shop said my rotors were down 2 mm on 2 rotors and 3 mm on the other 2 rotors (brakes should last between 200k to 250k miles)
Skipped through alignments (all wheel drive with computer aided steering yields smooth wear)
No maintenance on these: no plugs, no wires, no coils, no water pump, brake fluid, muffler, radiator, coolant, and a whole lot more.
I don't use Full Self Driving (not comfortable with it) but I use the auto-centering cruise control with reactive braking (its called Auto Steer)
2022: 80% of charging at home
2023: 98% of charging at home
2024: 85% of charging at home
________________________________
We bought my wife a 2024 Model Y also. It is a very simple plan and Tesla's price is around $37,500 + tax, tag & title. Wait, there's more to tell you about how great this car is...!
That’s awesome. Similar experiences here. Don’t know if I’ll make it past 64k on my tires though!
To touch on the insurance thing! I’m in SoCal had insurance through Allstate and when we got our ‘22 M3LR our insurance went from $320 up to $500 something. We immediately canceled and got Tesla insurance for $300 a month.
$500 Allstate was $1000 deduct $2500 medpay 100k/300k coverage.
$300Tesla is now $250 deduct $2500/$5000 medpay (I forget which) 250k/500k coverage. $0 incidental too. 🤙 so on paper Tesla insurance wins!
Yes our insurance is 100/300 and some people still can’t believe Tesla insurance is cheaper
Great video!
Thank you appreciate you ❤️😇
Hey @VegasTeslafamily I feel that a feature not taken into account is that a service provided by Tesla that saves a lot at super chargers is the monthly charging subscription for 13$ that allows you to charge 5x a day every day for the month and would be an annual cost of 156/yr max. 🤙🏼
Good one! Not for teslas though!
Hey I’m in vegas as well where did you go to rotate your tires for $40? I currently have a model y and was just curious. Love your content by the way I’m a new subscriber!
Tire works in southern highlands! Thanks for watching! 😁
Hi guys, love your videos, I’m seriously considering buying a Tesla 3 maybe next year and like you, we live in Vegas but frequently visit our kids and grandkids in Chicago also and was curious of road trips to Chicago and back and your videos were very helpful, thanks
That’s awesome! Our advice if you road trip from here to Chicago, take i40 unless you are 100% sure it won’t snow in the Colorado mountains 😂
Great video. Just curious, driving in Vegas, where no one drives at the speed limit. Ex. 65 mph limit, people drive at 70-75+. How do you drive with the Tesla insurance monitoring your speed?
Tesla insurance doesn't monitor top speed. Just hard braking and a few other things but not speed or accelreation
Tire warranty is covered brand or dealership, unknowns of warranty is through Tesla dealer? If anyone can answer that would be helpful. Yes at Discount tire, you are able to get warranty coverage, helps especially for nail/screws patch’s or needing a replacement tire. Saves in the end.
Same have watched several videos on Tesla experience and your video sir is excellent. Looking to get one in a few years last payment home upgrades, but will be looking forward to it, looking at a Tesla M3P, the take off reminds me of the Mr. Freeze coaster at Six Flags in Dallas early 2000’s.
Tesla does not have tire warranty, we found this out on the Model Y. The Model 3 performance is so tempting
I wonder what the savings would be in NJ. The gas has been cheaper these last couple of years and I think the supercharger cost is also cheaper than LV or CA.
That’d be interesting!
I'm a Claims Adjuster for an insurance company and if the other party doesn't have insurance, depending on the state, the Insurance company pursues the deductible directly from the at fault party and the process can take up to 1 year or longer. So I would say that process is normal.
I'm getting claims adjusters from different companies responding to me before I get my own claims adjuster. What's the legality of your client leaving multiple emails, texts, and voicemails and not returning any of those for months? If it'll take months or over a year, can they at least tell me? That's all I'm trying to ask. I haven't heard from them since they hooked me up with a rental car when it was repaired - back in Feb.
@@vegasteslafamily understandable on the customer service part of things since you are paying that premium. The company that I work does respond though unlike Tesla 😂.
I was thinking about Tesla insurance. But now I'm having 2nd thoughts . If you can't get a hold of them. There is no point. Let me know if Tesla insurance got back to you
They never have yet!
Try All State insurance not sure if you have it out in Vegas, but I think it’s available across the USA? Anyways dropped Tesla insurance for All State & don’t have to stress about driving and I’m saving money which is even more impressive. I don’t have the patience to always drive on a 98 score. I averaged a 96-97 my last few months
We have receipts of it in the 60’s
This was very informative. I've been curious about buying a used Tesla. If you ever get that Model 3 dirty, we could do a colab video, and I can detail it on my channel.
Awesome thank you! Would be down - send me an email with any ideas! vegasteslafamily@gmail.com
My issue is the payment monthly. With gas included I still pay WAY less than what tesla wants monthly. I don’t drive much now either cuz I work remote and travel for that job. What’s your tesla monthly vs the previous car payment?
The current rate deals help! I never had a car payment before the 3 or y - I bought the Kia Forte for $6,000 cash lol. We pay about $550/mo for the 3 and $570/mo for the Y.
Great video. I’m in a step to lease a Electric vehicle and thinking whether it will be Tesla, another EV or Hybrid. And yes, this is my first car in my life as a new driver…. Brain storm. Hard decision.

Only 10k in 2 years for me in my 2022 Y. Overall love it, but hate the whine noise from motors at freeway speeds. :(
Have you taken it in to get fixed? I heard this is something you can do, I’ve heard of that issue before
I took it in, tech guy said it’s normal and not loud enough to fix.
Sadly the money we’ve saved in maintenance is more than lost in depreciation…still, really enjoy my ‘23 LR too 👍
Yep same!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I’m here in vegas as well and I just got my model Y last week, still learning how to use this car now lol. Quick question, I just tint my front windows driver side and passenger side, idk if I should tint my windshield too, because it is hot when I’m driving especially facing sunlight, but I’m also worrying about the visibility if I tint it
Some do a very light tint. Check what’s legal in your State.
Congrats! ⚡️ So we have 30% on our windshield, which is about as dark as I'd go. Little dark at night lol. Jo has 55% on the Y - that's the sweet spot. Does not affect night visibility but makes a huge difference in the heat. Absolutely recommend windshield tint AND roof shades especially here in vegas. I linked where we got ours in our description - but any will make a huge difference.
Where do you go To rotate your tires… I’m a LV local and discount tire won’t do the rotation if I didn’t buy the tires thru them
Tire works or firestone
I have the same make and year.....I as well do not drive crazy and rotated tires 2 times but at 20k I had 4/32 tread left and a state required inspection coming up and had to replace the tires. I got the cheapest I could get.....700 with tax and so on, and so far they are great. Don't notice a decrease in ride comfort so they will be what I get from now on since I seem to eat tread 3 times a day
Which brand and model tires did you get? 700 seems pretty cheap. I got quoted by Costco at 1,150. My M3 is at 23k miles and 4/32.. I will replace after 3/32.
use chill mode
That's interesting - I don't know why mine lasted so long or yours lasted so little
@winnerdanny7 chill mode is great until you actually need to get out of your own way.....I don't do abrupt takeoffs anyway so chill mode is useless to me
@vegasteslafamily tires are century 235/45zr15. Actually all 4 came to $589 at discount tire center
I have a M3 and I use to get 272 miles on full charge and now I get 264miles on a full charge with 19k miles on it. I love my M3 since I drive 90 miles a day. But I am worried about losing range. Do you think I should stop using cabin protection?
Are you an Uber driver? 90 miles per day is insane.
I generally never recommend cabin overheat protection, but I dont think that would cause significant degradation.
No, my job is just 43 miles one and and 43 back home.
The initial loss is the worst the next years will be OKAY.
O ya trade in values will kill you. If you want to figure out what it's worth a combination of KBB, Carfax, and what other like used cars are listed for now is a far better indicator. We were looking to get a trade in for my Mom's RX350. Most offered around $2200, and the highest was at $3100. I ended up selling it for her and we got $7200 for it. With trade in they always low ball the shit out of the person so they can make solid margin even if it needs repaired
That’s true - just wanted a number for the video. Not looking to sell any time soon
How did you get a yoke in a LR M3?! Did Tesla insurance pay for the damages by the guy who backed into your car?!
Aftermarket yoke from Tesery. Yes they did.
Is 122K for a 2018 model 3 a lot of miles? I’m nervous 😥
I’d just inquire what the range is at 100% charge. It’ll be less of course but shouldn’t be too much less, and if it’s a number you’re good with, it should be just fine!
Are you able to adjust the specifics in the telsa app regarding gas savings? If not what car mpg, miles and gas price is it using?
Yes! Don’t know off the top of my head, I think 25mpg, local gas prices
Do you need premium connectivity for centry mode to work? If so what's the cost?
I am 90% sure you do not. Maybe for the live camera view from the app? But for sentry mode recordings, no.
The gas comparison is to what car? Cuz you have corolla, civic that will go double the miles in on tank vs full charge on model 3
@@carloscampos5469 25mpg
The Corolla Civic yes we use a lot of more gas, but it will get you farther than the EV because once you run out of battery for your EV, you have to sit there for 25 to 30 minutes for it to get fully charged. That’s the whole point if you wanna sit there and waste time go ahead and do that but if you wanna just get to your destination it’s not that hard to doespecially if you’re just gonna sit at a gas station for three minutes and pump and go that’s the whole point of this video but this guy’s trying to make it seem like his EV is completely better when there’s nothing better about it except it’s cooler😂
Your rear tyre looked a bit worn on the inside track. Not massive but ‘feathering’ has started. Good mileage out of those tyres though!
Where in the video do you see this? Someone else mentioned it too. I hadn’t noticed
@@vegasteslafamily I noticed it when the camera zoomed in on the rear nearside (left) tyre. Might be my eyes playing up but look to the far inside of the bottom tread pattern and the grooves look like they are missing from the flat surface.
@@vegasteslafamilyTo be exact, look at the close up of the rear nearside (left) tyre at minute 6:26 of the vid. Divide the tyre into 5 sections where the surface of the tyre (tire in USA of course) touches the ground. Number them 1 to 5 from left to right. No 5 surface is smooth. No biggie as I said. Damn good mileage for the tyres overall.
@@Anthony-z5i I see. Thank you. Didn’t know exactly what to look for. Gonna ride them for a few more weeks, maybe 55k ish will be the replacement
@@vegasteslafamily All good. Tesla looks great. Haven’t yet bought mine but I will be choosing either Tesla or one of the other better known brands. Watching as many of these vids as possible to decide. Thanks for the great video

Only problem the supercharger get the battery old fast?
I’ve heard that, I’ve seen stats that show otherwise. Tesla had a conservative charging curve at fast chargers that help tremendously
Can't you use the Fan Only for cabin overheat protection?
Yeah, but those fans would be kicking so hard with how hot it gets
@@vegasteslafamily Surely they give you the option to limit them to only the lowest speed or something? Long as there's even a little airflow with a cracked window it should be plenty.
You gonna upgrade that car before too long.. I got my 3 last year and I’m already itching for a Juniper Y
I do math of how much a Model 3 performance would cost me all the time 😅
Using carvana and carmax to figure resale value is problematic as they both lowball over KBB private resale value. It can be thousands off even Tesla lowballs a couple of thousand over the lowest private sale value.
A private sale and selling to Carvana is not the same thing. I sold my car a couple years ago to Carvana and they beat everyone. You need to remember an EV loses more value than an ICE car and it was in two accidents and he drives a lot.
@@dcam456 Well thats what im saying dont use a car dealer to purchase your car sell it privately you will get more money that way.
Driveway gave me the most for my Kia - I didn't think about them for this video.
@@dcam456 well I was saying to sell it privately. Having any repaired documented damage should hurt the value somewhat but in the end not much. I mean if you have frame damage it might if it was reported to car fax. EV versus ICE depends on the types of cars being compared. My honda Odyssey has retained alot more value than a dodge caravan because honda is better. But if you take your vehicles beyond 5 years then I would say its a wash as the depreciation will start to flatten out. I dont pay attention to depreciation as I routinely take my vehicles beyond 12 years so they end up making me money over that time frame.
Is this a RWD or AWD M3? AWD would have less uneven tire wear
AWD - interesting!
As long as you're rotating the tires regularly it wouldn't matter much.
If you all are looking for the best deal on a new Tesla I just bough a 2024 demo M3 AWD LR with less than 1000miles for $5050 off the list price plus $7500 for incentives and $500 from a random persons Tesla referral from Reddit. Total price was the same as CarMax 22 M3 LR $38k TOTAL. Look for those low mile Demos folks!!!
Demo’s have their risks but yes if you get a good one it’s a great deal!
Helps when you dont have a performance model y... the fact that the tires are different sizes in the front vs rear means these tires are gonna last me like 10k miles 😂
Ah haha we have a long range!
Oh boy I’m glad I live in California where Tesla insurance can’t use the safety score. I don’t want to drive paranoid thinking everything I’m doing “wrong” is going to cost me money!
It honestly is not too bad
Thats high for insurance. I pay only $99 per month with full coverage on a Model Y.
@@TeslaOutage as mentioned, we have higher coverage and drive more than twice the average amount.
Because you guys are more likely older drivers you don’t understand this is not gonna come into effect with people who are in their 20s. This whole insurance thing doesn’t matter because you literally have to have experience of being a driver first to have that to end his play this wholedebate doesn’t make any sense. Who cares about your insurance when you literally have to be an experienced driver to get that on your record first.
I know I am going to save at least 1200-1500 a year on gas but insurance from Progressive will be over a grand more. Need to check with Tesla
I was with Mercury in CA and went with Tesla and it was almost 50% less for my Y and F-250
Insurance prices vary so much - I just shared what I pay
Is this car good?
I think so
This guy doesnt race, 50,000 miles on original tires. Thats insane.
If your race everyday and every stop light, your dual motor long range tesla tires will last around 22,000 miles
Haha yes I do not race!
@@vegasteslafamily we’re not saying you don’t race but you don’t drive the car expectantly every day like a regular person does to wear 50 K miles on a car to you is going to be different from somebody who has to go to work every day
Make sure to get an oil change at around 100,000!
Haha will do! 😉
dude you are not doing it right in insurance, you should get a quote yourself from a insurance company with different cars like BMW or Toyota and compare them. For my case, I used to pay 100 per month with Acura TLX (2021) and now i'm paying 220/month after switching to Model Y last month. EV, especially Tesla's repair cost is almost double of ICE vehicle so most of people would pay more in insurance when they switch to Tesla
I showed all my numbers - what was wrong?
Using the national average for insurance isn't accurate at all. Your video is misleading because it suggests that switching to a Tesla will save you money on insurance, which isn't true in most cases.
Awesome Video..... JoJo has the Y, your next car should be the 3P... with pets, you don't want to get your S all dirty...LOL. Great job, Thanks
dont tempt me lol
What tint did you use?
@@barrycollins3959 30% windshield, 15% everywhere else
That LR tire inside is shot
Is it lol
I’m 2k in on my 24 red model 3. Taking it for a road trip to the Bay Area this weekend. I’m scared it’s gonna get rock chips should I tape the front with painters tape? I don’t have a bra yet.
I wouldn’t care to much about a few chips but up to you!
Your car looks phenomenal. You must be handwashing and waxing it yourself. Well done!
Thank you! Hand wash. I know you mean the outside and not the inside 😂
Those tires needs to be replaced. Not bad though considering that’s a lot of miles even for a gas car. But get them replaced.
I will ina few thousand miles!
Is that Varrock from RuneScape?
Yes lol
@@vegasteslafamily That's awesome lol I just randomly found your videos and then saw the license plate. Long time RS player here 😂
$8 for washer fluid?? I only get it at Walmart bc it’s like $1.30
Colorado Springs or wherever we were on that mountain has a monopoly!
@@vegasteslafamily insanity😭
Hi, I’m an Auto Insurance Adjuster. If the other car didn’t have insurance; you won’t get your deductible back unless Tesla Insurance gets a Judgement against the owner of the other car and he pays them. Also the ChatGPT analysis of car insurance is just dumb. Too many individual factors to even compare Auto Insurance between different people. If you wanted a comparison you should’ve just gotten a quote for yourself with a gas car and then compared that to Tesla.
I know there are too many favorites, no matter how I got other quotes, people would be unhappy.
Tesla tires 100% get worn out faster, for 2 reasons, once is because the weight, and the other is because people like to floor it in these cars. If you aren't driving the car and having fun, your tires will last longer.
Other cars weight just as much if not more!
@@vegasteslafamily Your car weighs 3800 pounds, even a big heavy sedan like the honda accord is only 3200 pounds. Compared to the average car the model 3 is very heavy. Even my old 2006 eclipse gt with a 3.8L engine only weighed around 3300 pounds.
Hi Carmen, great video. Thanks in part to your channel I also bought a 24 model 3 two months ago. Love it so far! Electricity is averaging me about 34.00 a month compared to 250.00 for gas. Now I have an idea of what to look forward to for at least two years. We also live in Vegas(Henderson). Hope to meet you one day. Cheers!
Congrats! ⚡️ that's a ton of savings. You should join our email list! We're hoping to organize some future local events or drives. Unfortunately our local owners club isn't active. There's a link for it in the description!
I like the license plates! You play RuneScape?
wc lvl? Nice.
99 lol and I have a Tesla aswell I have the lock sound as the ice barrage.
I charge overnight for 0 cents a kw. I am saving infinte money😂. Also...the way I drive a gas car would get under 20 mpg.
That’s a cheat code
