    A few things that you may want to consider. If you are an independent business owner and you use your car for business purposes you can also write 100% of the car within the next 4 years since it is a zero emissions vehicle. So you can actually write off approx 15K of your income per year for the next 4 years.
    Assuming you make at least 60K/ year this would drop your income significantly. You wouldn't have to pay 20% tax on 15K of income which equals to about $3000 per year which equals to tax savings of about 250/ month for 4 years.
    Not sure if this would apply to you but for a lot of people out there this would be a really good business purchase. Talk to your accountant about this if you use a car for business.
    Great video though it seems like its a great purchase for you guys!! I was trying to decide who's referral code to use for my order since there are so many of them out there and I think you deserve the extra KMs! You sure seem to drive a lot and the video was quite insightful as well cheers to you mate!

    Very flawed calculations... Why 6 years for one and 8 years for another? Also why take out transit, if you kept corolla then the transit will also be 0 due to covid. 340 per month on gas is insane.... 50 km each day only amounts to 350 km per week. Even increase it to 500, that amounts to only 2000 km per month... I love tesla no doubt and want to get one but this is not a fair comparison

    Thanks for going over these numbers. What pushed it to the Tesak for you is that you drive 3 to 4000km per month. That is very high and most people do not even get remotely close that that. Also, the transit numbers in for the Corolla and not for the Tesla skews it also, but then you took it out for the 10-year example.

    I am looking at this too, I also drive about 100km pre day. My problem is the after warranty cost! Tesla only give you 4 years and 80,000KM of warranty, and I check the extended warranty is like 8K more. Which is not worth it. Sure, I love all the electronics in the car, my issues is after warranty is done; what is my cost of repair. I saw lot of RUclips video how people spend thousands of dollars just to fix a door handle! Currently own a 2013 Honda Accord that I bought new in 2013. Till this day, I haven't have much issues with the car. It is the after warranty cost that I am worry about. And with all the talk of new battery technology (Solid State Batteries) coming out that can eventually double or triple your range in a few years; I pretty sure your Tesla resale value is down to nothing by 7 or 8 years.

    • @AndreBhagwandat
      @AndreBhagwandat  3 года назад

      At the end of the day you’re buying a luxury car.. bmw Audi Mercedes etc are all high in repair cost if you get an oil change from them it can be up to 250 dollars , can’t really compare the repair cost to a Honda or Toyota, and as for the resale value when I bought the car my goal was too keep it till it dies. Just like your Honda let’s say my tesla doesn’t give me any issues then there’s no problem. It’s always a risk you take when buying a car. All I can do is drive properly ,take care of it and don’t crash lol but for now it’s my workhorse taking from point A-B without touching a gas station and my electric rates dropped to 8cents this month so even better!

    This was very helpful thanks, I currently have newer cars that I’m financing but I did the same comparison and found it very helpful. I also added tires to maintenance costs since that is a big thing for me, usually near the $1,000 mark which is like 10-12 oil changes. EV car tires can wear much quicker due to torque off the line which is much higher in EV than ICE vehicles. Also, EV cars can be up to 1 metric ton heavier than ICE cars.
    In my situation I didn’t find the Tesla to be cheaper yet, but I’m also interested in the long range due to trips I normally do where charging is going to be an issue. It’s definitely something to consider in the future though. A couple points, even though EVs do not seem to need any maintenance, annual maintenance is recommended, and when I added those costs up with the increased number of tire replacements my current car maintenance is cheaper. Basically what I’ve read is that tires are going at about 30,000km instead of about 45,000km or better.
    I’ve read different things online for this, manufacturers are developing airless tires plus there are some that increase the PSI to get better results. Either way, something to watch for and it could impact EV range and maintenance costs. If you end up with lower maintenance costs, reduced energy costs and zero emissions it’s a big win for everyone though

      I actually did these numbers yesterday. Tesla 3 is 25k, 3 insurance is about $40 more month, 3 300 range is 1/4 less than Corolla.
      Within 5 years it’s about the same cost but you would pay 20k more for the Tesla.
      If you plan on keeping the car longer than 5 years you probably will be spending alot to replace Tesla parts
      I think money savings you are better off getting a Corolla. Tires are cheaper and I really think long term maintenance will be cheaper.

    The base 2009 Model S cost $65,000 and had a range of 160 miles. 2021 base Model S cost $72,000 and has a range of 412 miles. If we compare at equal cost, thats a 57% increase in range for the same $65000 (not counting inflation). The importance of this is this: EV's improve rapidly, so previous iterations lose resale value dramatically and it will only get worse. The cost of ownership is negligible. After ridesharing becomes mainstream, or around 2030, THAT will be the time to invest in EV's. By then, range will again double and the cost will have balanced out to match current priced ICE's. Dont spend $60,000 on a car unless you have the extra cash for EV infrastructure to speed up your ROI.

    Unfair comparison
    1) The transit isn't solely a cost from owning a corolla. If you had only a tesla you'd still have that cost.
    2) insurance on a 60k car is going to be at least double insurance on a 30k car. That number is total horseshit.
    3) maintenance isn't fair. You have to include a total brake job at the 6-8 year mark depending on how you drive. New tires, summer and winter.
    3.1) the only place that can do maintenance on a tesla is a tesla "dealership". The Toyota can be maintained at a small garage for a quarter of the price for labor.
    4) 6 years vs 8 years gives a totally unfair advantage the tesla. You have to recalculate the numbers if car payments had to be made in a 6 year period. Payments would be 20% more expensive off the bat.
    Also, goodluck finding aftermarket parts for the tesla.

      I agree with you. Adding transit in one and the difference in years make the calculation confusing. There’s no way insurance is cheaper. Every friend that got a Tesla had a premium increase. This is a car double the price and if there’s any damage it will cost thousands of dollars to fix. The tires wear out so much faster because of the weight of the batteries. A Corolla is a gas car but we all know it’s extremely low on maintenance. If you use this calculation to trick your wife to get a Tesla all good for u but this is not a fair comparison.

    • @FrotLopOfficial
      @FrotLopOfficial 3 года назад

      This is absolutely not true. The only reason Teslas retain value JUST a hair above the rest, is brand value, however the pure nature of EV's and the rapid movement of the industry literally bets against resale at the highest level. Nobody will want to buy a $60,000 used Tesla for anything close to that, not even half -- if the new 2024 Tesla drives twice the distance, charges twice as fast, and self drives twice as good. ICE vehicles at least retain value because gas hasnt really gotten much more efficient, however battery tech is polar opposite as time goes on, especially within the next couple years. Before you go against my claim, look at used car sales but more importantly, the length of their ad posting. Most overvalued posts dont budge, and you will see a clear drop up to 60%. That is absolute trash just after a YEAR of ownership.

I ended up buying a brand new 2018 wrx off the lot for 35k back in 2017, and subaru offered to buy it back off me just a few months back for 30k as trade in value.

Unless you want to upgrade every so often, leasing is about 5k down and $520 per month for 4 year term so within that term you’d pay $29k thats a lot for basically renting... in my 4 year mark to compare I’d spend around $35k I would definitely own it and you wouldn’t have to worry about leasing conditions like km overages and other nonsense

    Maintenance of your corolla is too high. As well, tires on corolla are 4-5 times cheaper than on Tesla. Due to heavy weight, on Tesla you have to change the tires twice often than on corolla.
    I own 2021 Tesla model 3 Standard for 3 months now. And I own 2021 Corolla LE. Same situation as yours.
    I agree, that electricity is cheaper than gas. However, driving Corolla interstate is more convenient that Tesla. Driving Tesla in the city on my busy business days is sometimes frustrating as I come back home with 5% of battery 😂.

I did comps on my current car (2007 Toyota Corolla that I paid $7000 for) insurance is 90 a month in so cal for me. with all insurance maintenance gas oil etc. over 5 years it’s cost is estimated at 31,680. My vehicles are babied and hardly ever need much work done. A Tesla on the other hand is 35000 (even used doesn’t seem to go down in price) the insurance per month more than makes up for any savings ($384 per month). Over 5 years it costs 62340 yikes 😱 thank you high cost insurance

    Damn 6 and 8 year terms is long. Sure you still own the car after 6-8 years, but Consumer Matters talked about this. 4-5 year terms are the recommended ones because you always end up paying more on longer terms, and you have to prepare for unexpected repairs/damages and unexpected life changes. Lower monthly payments seem more manageable but over the long run you're spending 100k on a 30k car and 97k on a 50k car... If people cannot afford a 4-5 year term on a car, they should not get that car. Look at total cost of the car instead of monthly payments. Think different model or think used instead of stretching out the payment. I'm afraid that people will look at this video and be encouraged to get 8 year terms...

    • @AndreBhagwandat
      @AndreBhagwandat  4 года назад +2

      I understand your point 100%!, look at it this way, I would never have done an 8yr term on a gas car because of the added expenses, my main goal was to have a reliable car, while maintaining a budget not another used one where a lot of cases you end up spending more in repairs. Model 3 warranty is 8yrs... If the car last 10 years yea the term was 8 but you spent the same money if not more on a Corolla in that 10 years. So I picked the car I’d enjoy while spending the same amount. Unexpected life changes can be different for everyone which makes the 8 year more risky, but don’t buy a new car in general if you can’t afford it. Regardless I’ll need a car until I retire lol so I’ll be going to get another car in decade or so I’ll always need one, the tesla maintenance is very low, it’s constantly updating, theyre finding newer ways to have longer batteries. In My opinion it’s the type of car that would last and it also has one of the highest resell values

      Ronnie Lee you are forgetting a major factor... interest rates. You are only financing the initial car itself nothing else. If you are buying new anyways and are able to get a low interest rate, You should always leverage for as long as possible. Example: if i told you heres a 100K you can pay me back over a 20 year period and you only have to pay me a $1000 a year in interest. You should definitely take that deal because you can earn far more by investing that 100K. Thats why so many people invest in real estate. Because you are able to leverage money at far lower interest rates. Especially right now, Its practically free money.
      It is important however to be able to afford the car monthly. Because at the end of the day, cash is king. If you don’t have a fairly safe and consistent cash flow monthly its best to go with a cheaper car.
      Life is a game of interest rates. As long as you are smart with your money. Don’t let monthly payments or debt scare you off. Let your investments pay for your monthly expenses.

    • @SCraig-Handsome
      @SCraig-Handsome 3 года назад +1

      I think the part you are leaving out is resale value, not many people can live with a 3-4 year finance. You might be paying more for your car then your house or apartment. 5-year is the sweet spot, for payments, 4 years is the sweet spot for cars, that’s when you want to trade them in.
      Resale value on gasoline engines does not equal electric vehicle value. Think about this, after about 80,000km you would need to have both front and rear brakes done, at 120,000km you would need suspension and DIrect Injection problems kick in. After that you should have it paid off and you may have other engine repairs on top of everything else.
      Electric uses regenerative braking, the motor slows down the car, not just the brakes, so those brake pads last a lot longer, tires should be about the same. The 8-year warranty on the battery is something to watch for, but so far Tesla owners are only losing about 10% of range after roughly 250,000 miles (400,000 km).
      It’s hard to find Tesla’s on the road, even harder to find used ones for sale, even Models 3’s are starting at $45,000+ CDN so we’ll see if that price goes down or not. They seem to be reselling for 80% of their original price, gas engines drop to 75% as soon as they are driven off the lot. I just checked my SUV, which I bought for $50K CDN, almost 3 years ago now, it’s worth $24K CDN Max. So Electric is going to be a lot more valuable as a trade-in. Likely you are getting a battery with 90% of it’s original range.
