I charge from a 120 volt outlet in my garage. Since my car sets about 12 hrs a day in my garage and I drive less than 30 miles a day, that's more than sufficient. And based on 13.5 cents/kWh, I pay about $39 to go 1000 miles.
Same here. I have home charged on 120 v since I got my model 3 about two years ago. No problems keeping up with the daily needs since it is parked charging most of the time.
I used my 120v outlet for 7 years with a Nissan Leaf. This is my first summer with a Model Y, and I noticed my Ah would drop from 12 to 6, or I could set it for 8 and it wouldn’t drop. But it made my charging just a little too low per hour, so I finally got a 240v outlet installed in my garage.
we got s company to supply us with level 2 chargers in our building and they will be chatging us 18c/kWh and additional 25% but even then Im like you I drive no more than 10-15kms daily so it will be cheap. We are even getting monies back from our local utility in a form of a grant works out to be about 1600 dollars the charger purchase and installation costs were somewhat expensive but the condo owners such as myself who signed up for the program bought into the program for making their condo being abale to sel quickly and in Canada adding a level two charger to condo parking spots adds value to your property. That being said, I purchased a Tesla last week a Model Y RWD in stealth grey with the federal rebate and my trade it made it attactive
For more detail - on a 20 amp breaker circuit, I put in a 20 amp outlet, ($26 for heavy duty with GFCI at Lowe’s), ordered the Tesla NEMA 5-20 adapter (the one with the horizontal left prong) and viola!! 7 mph charging! Plenty for overnight recharging.
Here in Georgia, I pay 14 cents for PEAK usage which is 1-9 PM. For super off peak, which is Midnight to 6 AM, I pay 0 cents a KW. It's totally free to charge overnight. The rest of the day it is 8 cents. Youi are getting hosed in Cali.
How does the utility company determine it's EV that's drawing power and not household appliances? Are public chargers have special rates midnight to 6am also?
@@Trust_but_Verifyno, public chargers are regularly priced. Only home electric chargers get this benefit. I am from Georgia too and I get around 41 dollars per 1000 miles
Unexpected benefit--I never knew what to tell my wife and kids about what to buy me for Christmas or my birthday. Now with my Tesla, I always have a handy list of accessories they can get me that I actually look forward to receiving.
Just did the same. I’m enjoying my new birthday-present Tesla puddle lights. Took me 5 minutes to install them on both front doors and they are very cool.
Free WiFi should be automatically connected at any supercharger allowing easy updates and all entertainment features while charging especially since superchargers rates are now barely below the equivalent cost of gas.

Disagree about tire wear. *Chill Mode* is key. I drove my Model Y AWD 45k miles before replacing Factory installed Continental rated for 40k, and only rotated them a single time at 8k miles. Wife had similar experience on her M3 RWD, but rotated on schedule. I keep my car in *Chill Mode* (Elon is stuck at a 4th grade maturity), and try not to make sudden stops. It enhances distance, saves tires, brakes, and struts.
I got the home wall charger when I bought my house. It’s saved my bacon a few times and it’s definitely cheaper than using public chargers, which I did for the first year and a half that I had my Model X. Yes, getting the circuit done costed and it hasn’t quite paid for itself yet, but it will. I’m not selling my house anytime soon. Definitely recommend getting the wall charger. I would like to note that the Tesla insurance hits you HARD if you regularly drive after the 11PM late night driving curfew. I took a road trip in April and had to do that a few times, and my insurance premium the next month doubled. It’s a cash grab and if you work the graveyard shift, your Safety Score will plummet and you’ll pay through the nose for it.
Yep! That really doesn't make sense. Eye drive less than 500 mi a month but if I go to the grocery store after 11:00 p.m. I get dinged. I don't understand the basis for this. Where I live there's a lot of commute traffic throughout the day and I like to shop late in the evening. Got to make sure I get home by 11:00
If you purchase EV charging equipment for your principal residence, you may be eligible for a tax credit for the charging station. This credit is generally 30% of the item’s cost, up to $1,000. Your state may also have additional tax rebates.
One thing to remember is that legacy dealerships add tax and registration into the loan. So you don't have to have the money up front. When I got my Tesla cars I had to make sure I had about $3500 for tax and registration for each one. Tesla did send me all the paperwork mostly already filled out but I had to make an appointment at the county tax office and go give them a check. The good news is they hand you the tags right there so there is no waiting for the dealership to get them and mail them to you or have you come back to get them. It took all of about 15 minutes for me but it will depend on your county tax office and how busy they are and if you make an appointment or not.
I have the premium connectivity option. I really wish Tesla would provide a weather option on the map. Especially rain/ precipitation. It could operate such that when you selected it you would see it for about 5-10 seconds and then disappear. But, nobody else seems to be interested
This video perpetuates some serious FUD. My model 3 weighs ~400lbs more than a Similarly equipped Toyota Camry. Tires: Some guy replaced his tires every 30k miles. Ok that’s what’s called an anecdote and has no statistical significance. Many factors effect this, driving habits, road surface driven on, tire characteristics such as softness, performance vs. long wearing tires. I just changed my tires at 52000 miles bc i had a leak in on and decided to do all four. All had legal though thin tread.
@@DCGreenZone Yeah, I still want one... But have a hard time pulling the trigger on it because of Elon. I would also prefer the normal stalks return for blinkers and whatnot too.
Installing a wall connector in my garage (and eventually a second) was a pretty easy do-it-yourself project. There are hundreds of RUclips vids here to show you how.
Mobile connector comes free with a tesla in Sweden with a level 2 cable. Order fee is substracted from the total price here too. Tax is included in the price but u have to pay a roadtax of about 30 dollars or less.
CA electricity is expensive. With Dominion Virginia in the Washington, DC area we have “on peak, off peak and super off peak.” Summer weekdays May-Sept (per kWh): 12am-5am SOP = 08¢ 5am-3pm OffP = 10¢ 3p-6p OnP = 22¢ 6p-12a OffP = 10¢ Winter October - April 12a-5a SOP = 10¢ 5a-6a OffP = 11¢ 6a-9a OnP = 18¢ 9a-5p OffP = 11¢ 5p-8p OnP = 18¢ 8p-12a OffP = 11¢ Holidays and weekends have only two ranges. 12a-5a is Super Off Peak 5a-12a in Off Peak Crazy cheap compared to California. 😳
Here in SoCal i charge almost exclusively Tesla Fast chargers with a usual cost of 0.26 - 0.40 per kw which averages $15-22 per ful charge an able to drove realistically 275miles for MYLR
When you mentioned accessories you included "screen protectors" in the list. It's worth noting that the Model 3 owners' manual specifically states do NOT install a screen protector
@@BobbieGWhiz As stated in and copied from the "touchscreen" section of the Model 3 owners' manual "CAUTION Do not apply a screen protector on the touchscreen. Doing so can result in unintended inputs to the touchscreen (phantom inputs), delayed response or unresponsiveness to touches, electrostatic discharge which can damage the touchscreen, etc. Any damage caused by installing a screen protector is not covered by the warranty." ... so, key takeaway: they have a way to deny warranty coverage for any screen malfunction.
Sentry mode in my model Y uses about 4-6% of battery a day. Since I don't have charger atm, I have to go to the supercharger about 2 times a week which does add up. Once I get my own place, I won't need to have sentry mode on and I'll be able to charge at home.
SuperCharger fees have gone up substantially. I use to drive from Orlando to Homestead Florida. I would stop at two SCs that had low fees. Those days are gone. It is getting to the point that long distance trips cost as much as a gas car.
Luckily, I charged at work for free and I’ll top off on Friday to get me through the weekend. I do have a Home Tesla charger as well. This is saves me $80 a week that I was spending on gas for my commute. If you were unable to home charge, If you need to rely on superchargers then it really defeats the convenience of having an EV.
Im new to tesla. And the first time i charged 3 days ago i used a supercharger and man was it expensive than i thought. From 60 to 80% i was charged $12. That cost more than our toyota sienna in miles/dollar cost. You really need to add $1.5k your purchase cost to integrate a 240v home charging to really lower your mileage cost.
The appropriate thing is to see what your electrcity costs in your residence and if you are able to conduct your daily drive on what you would be abily to charge in genreal. The super charger network is not a quality way to conduct overall charging because of the higher rates, and this is pretty damn clear in most circles. The SCN is to be used on long term trips to get you where you need to go. The mindset of how you drive/charge an EV needs to be completely different than how you would drive an ICE vehicle.
@@PhantomShadowzzz yeah, i just didn’t put my mind on that. I thought, superchargers are reasonable since some don’t own a house. I think it was also at peak hours and it cost like .51 cents per kw. I believe my house will cost .17 if i can get 240V.
Don't know how is in the USA but I'm from Europe and installing the wall changer it's as easy as installing any 3 phase socket. The design it's super intuitive and the instructions are very clear. So no need to call an electrician if you have a good DIY base skills.
Three phase in residential in the US is basically non-existent, worse, our "240V" is split phase, not the same as say 240V in the UK. 240V outlets in the US are basically reserved for water heaters, ovens, HVAC, and dryers.
I have the home charger and had a problem with the wiring. In the US. So I use my electric dryer 240 volt outlet. It charged slower but it was always ready the next morning. The outlet is more convenient of course after I got it fixed. But I think the outlet for the dryer is limited to about 20 amps. Still plenty.
California sales tax is dependent on the local tax/city you live in when buying a car, e.g., where Ventura County/L.A. County meet, live in Thousand Oaks and it's 7.25%, but if you live one mile south into L.A County in Westlake Village it's 9.5%. 🤷♂
In SW Washington State we have a flat rate of 7.25 P/ kWh . 24/7/365 With minimal fossil fuel in the energy mix. (thankfully) I hope Californians will eventually see some rate relief as more renewables come online.
1:45 Okay jumping in here, i live in EU (Denmark) and a normal outlet here is 240 standard, but we also have 3 face power where we can get op to 32A on home charger that is almost 22kw. So we have almost 90% wind energy in Denmark, that mean power at night is almost free nobody is buying it, we can charge the car for no more than 10 usd 🙂
Imagine if you had same gas prices as in Finland. For us gas costs 8,2 dollars per gallon (2€ per liter.) On the other hand. Electricity is cheap. Average Electricity cost over the last 4 months has been less than 2 cents per kw/h. If your electricity contract uses electricity exchange market price, you can basically charge your car for 0,00$ between 0 AM and 6 AM. You only have to pay for the electricy transfer fee. Which means that full battery of a Tesla model Y Long range can be less than one dollar. For superchargers and other DC chargers, the prices vary between 25-50cents per kw/h. Still way cheaper than gas.
Your electricity costs are crazy low. Do people in Finland have heat pumps to heat their homes ? Because at 2 cts/kWh I probably wouldn't have a heat pump...
@@Rambomname yes, we have have 25,% VAT rate on everything. additonally, your income tax for 50k annual salary is 30%. The tax rate is progressive. for 100k annual salary the tax rate is 50%.
@@pauld3327 Most of our electricity comes from hydro power+Nuclear+Bio fuels+wind power. we have roughly 80% renewable energy generation. Currently it's summer and lots of hydro+wind and nuclear power has been keeping electricity prices low. Most homes have heat pump or air-water heatpump or geothermal heating or then the heating or district heating where the heat comes from local industry. Either nuclear or for example pulp mill excess heat. Many homes also have internal fireplace for heating that they use during the most cold winter months by burning local firewood. Most cheap prices for electricity is achieved with Electricity Market exchange price. This prices varies a lot. During the night you can get electricity for absolutely free. But in the morning at 8AM peak ours the price can jump to 50cents per kw/h. Even though these spikes usually last for very short time. The AVG price over the last months has been 2 cents kw/h since most hours are very cheap and night is completely free. If you want fixed Electricity rate. You can get contrracts for about 7-8 cents per kw/h fixed price.
i use my y for road trip a couple of times since i bought it last year. the beauty of driving an ev on road trips is that if you book at the hotels that offer free ev charging, you can save lots of money. in one of my trips, i saved over a hundred dollars on charging because i stayed at the hotels that offered free charging. imagine you drive a gas car out of state, to some national park, you have to pay for gas, typically between $100 to two hundred dollars in gas expense on a single trip. but with an ev, you book at hotels that offer free charging, you save money.
With all.these cost for EV's and ICE cars, it's not worth even having one. With financing, insurance, maintenance, government taxes and fees, you'd save thousands per year by just not getting a car
Probably TMI, possibly confusing and) or scary for a first time listener. I would sum it up by saying; there's a few things to figure out but you'll save a bundle. Charging at home is the most convenient and affordable option. Although not fun, superchargers are easy enough. Although 2-3 times the cost of home charging, still much less expensive than gas.
In Texas registration is an extra $200 for an EV so my registration went from $79 to $279. However, this was the last year for safety inspections so starting in 2025 I no longer have to have my EVs inspected. I can just renew the tags online, woo hoo! If you have a gas car you still have to get an emissions test but if you have an EV nothing at all.
Wow no safety inspection? That seems really short cited on Texas. Just because there is no emissions, doesn’t mean you don’t have ball joints, control arms, brakes, or bald tires. There are going to be a lot of unsafe EVs on Texas roads in the near future.
Ouch, I guess one has to stay with EV for 5 years or lose the pre-paid EV registration fee? If you change EV you can re-use the remaining registration or pay another 5 years again and lose out on the previous unused 5 years registration?
@@Trust_but_Verify yes ouch, but I didn't have to pay for five years. I know I'm keeping it as long as I can (my last car was a 2006 Acura TSX). I could have just paid for one year, but with inflation as it is, I thought it would be best to pay as much as I could now because the dollar might be more expensive later.
Rear Bushings in Model 3 Performance can't just be removed and replaced. Instead the entire motor gets chucked and a new one needs to be installed. The cost of replacement for a rear motor on a Model 3 Performance is $9,000. Stupid engineering.
Wow I never expected the Perelli’s on our Model Yp to last this long ! We firmly expected to twist them off in 20k kilometers with the way we drive, we have 30k on them now and they have about a third left. Outstanding ! The most expensive thing so far has been my motorcycle. It used to seem very fast, and now I need an upgrade. 😅
Then there are the after market accessories that people put back. Things like roof shade, drivers binnacle/HUD, Carplay connection and now maybe indicator/wiper stalks.
I think they should consider increasing the FSD initial access to 60 or 90 days. We'll have these cars for years. Let people try it out, get used to it, then be more likely to decide to keep it. We only tried it a couple of times before the paywall stepped in. We already decided to skip it.
Not only do you have to factor in the supercharger cost, but take performance into consideration. It's easy to say you'll only get 280 miles in a model Y at XXprice. For example my v8 in NYC was costing me $68.85 giving me 238 miles a car that can do 3.1 0-60 and 10.8-11 quarter , while my 4 cyl was $55.25 giving me 425 miles a car that does 0-60 in 8.4 and 16.8 @ 1/4. So when you factor in a model S which is not only faster and heavier, From 0 to 100% would cost $54.95 for 357 of real world miles or 402 claimed. It's a massive difference when comparing it in that light.
For me it is only a few hundred to install a 15-50 connection. The mobile connector is fine as the car I ordered can only charge at 240v32a and that is enough to do a full charge in less than 8 hours anyway. It still needs to be scheduled for like 1am though because I'll probably trip the main breaker if the dryer, AC AND oven is on at the same time...
I don’t think the negligible weight difference is causing much more tire wear. It is most likely the type of tires (softer) and the fact that it is so easy to drive aggressively.
I had bought everything that I needed for the 240v outlet beforehand and had the electrician install it. Cost me $500 dollars. 👍 .14 cents per/kwh on grid at home charging here in Savannah. I have solar panels and a power wall, so I drive for free.
Tesla are basically just good for local small trips and a few long trips a year. If insurance was cheaper tesla would be way more affordable than just kinda affordable
I have a Tesla Model 3 with 19" Continental ProContact RX tires. They're the same model that comes with the car. The treadwear on these tires are low (400). I'm planning on replacing them with the Continental PureContact LS, which are cheaper and have a higher treadwear (700).
Yeah this hits home. I bought a tesla model Y back in june when they had the 0.99% apr deal. First time driving an EV, but I was not expecting to spend 600 dollars buying tesla accessories.
People only DC charge in Australia when they go on long trips unlike the Americans we use DC charging for its intended purpose. Phase 3 AC chargers are everywhere and all free its great
Have had a dual motor LR 2023 Model Y for 1.5 years. Dirty little secret about these cars is if you can not charge at home with cheap electric rates then it is cheaper to drive an ice car regarding cost of fuel per mile and way way way more convenient. People can say all they want about the fact it is not so bad charging at a super charger but that is pure bull#@#@. Often have to go substantially out of your way and then wait for a half hour or more while it charges. This can be pretty awful at times and just does not happen with ice cars. Now there are many plusses with the Tesla and I like my car but if you can't charge at home and are doing a lot of driving that requires you to often use super chargers then a no brainier - get an ice car. If you can charge at home and don't need to often super charge then again a no brainier - if you can find a Tesla model that you like - get it! Many people will not like this post but sorry that is the way it is for an average working person that needs to be able to get in their car and go when they need to.
I got hit with a >30% insurance premium in switching ICE -> Tesla f9r same value vehicle. Insurance company claims Teslas are rated highest for collision repairs. Not sure if this is reality or just gouging.
FSD and Premium should included for free of all IMHO. A better per use pricing model would be more reasonable. Per mile/Day for FSD/Premium subscriptions .
In Ireland my insurance is currently €344 a year and I have a special EV charging rate of 0.08 cent an hour between 2-6am so a full charge costs about €4
Hi Ryan, you have a Y and now a new 3. How much better is the ride and quiet in the new 3 compared to your Y. For example ride in New 3 is as good as a MB or other german car or just better for a Tesla. Same goes with cabin sound. How much quieter is the interior sound compared to your Y. Thanks and have a great weekend.
I have a 2023 Y and new 3. 3 is more comfortable but not MB or Lexus floaty ride. I have not driven aggressively with the new 3 but comparable to BMW that I used to drive (330xi). Cabin sound is quieter in 3 than Y.
Hopefully when I go to purchase, which is about three years out because I want to get a better apartment that has connectivity before I get a Tesla will be improvements on the model Y by then
In my part of Massachusetts, my normal rate (no off peak option) is the same cost as what you pay for your peak charging. It’s cheaper for me to charge at a supercharger than it is to charge at home. Kind of sad as I always wanted to be able to charge while I am parking but instead I need to “drive to the gas station” to fill my car up every week.
When you pay for enhanced connectivity, you should be able to connect your phone to the car's wifi. So many newer cars offer this as an option. Tesla comes across as being cheap by not offering this. I still need to use my phone's data to listen to XM radio since Tesla doesn't offer satellite radio as an option or even as an app to stream.
those electricity rates are nuts! my super off peak per hr is 2 cents / kwh (USD) here in Ontario. Super off peak is from 11pm to like 7am tho. The most it gets is like 21 cents per kWh (USD) during on peak.
Ryan, I’d be curious to know if your Tesla service dept took care of the rattle. Mine said that “they are very hard to diagnose” and sent me on my way without looking at it. 😡
Another fine video Ryan, thank you. You kind of glossed over charging costs for those of us with solar. I make more than I use and my utility pays me the wholesale price of about 2 cents/kWh so my yearly "cost" of charging is about $50. MUCH less than gas would cost. The mobile charger works just fine and I have an otherwise unused dryer outlet. Like many owners I also have free supercharging so road trips cost nothing. As far as charging times, the model 3 I drive now is LR so I pretty much achieve the 10-15 min charge times on trips by stopping every 2 hours which I would do anyway. With my old Model S the charging times did impact driving time so a 1000 mile trip took hours longer.
Those rates make staying in VA much more appealing. Home rates at night are 10cents. There is a nearby supercharger that ranges between 17 cents to 41 cents depending on time of day.
Ok well EVs are often NOT several thousand pounds heavier than a traditional ICE vehicle as mentioned at the 7:59 mark. Sure they could be a few hundred pounds heavier to several hundred pounds heavier. My 4200 lb Challenger wouldn’t be 11000 lb for its comparable ev counterpart.
Knowing people who own Tesla's, I learned one basic fact about them - They are not made to be serviced in case of a minor traffic accident.... People here in the Northwest wait months for a qualified body shop to restore their Tesla's. I won't buy one......
Can you do a video on additional things you can purchase from Tesla. Someone said they offer PPF now. can this be purchased when you order the car or is it a service after you take delivery?
You left out paying a higher sticker price for an EV and faster depreciation as you start getting more miles on the car. Which could offset any fuel savings.
This is not true. Buying a new Tesla in Europe (Norway) does not include registration / other fees that can add a cost 10-5% extra compared to what Tesla states. This is indeed a huge «hidden» cost!
Tesla DOES NOT make LUXURY vehicles. It makes EVs, in no shape or way is Tesla luxury. Get in an actual luxury vehicle and you can tell there is a clear difference.
I find it interesting that nobody ever mentions that the price to charge at a Tesla Supercharger goes from 39 cents per kWh at 6am to 60 cents after 8am. While the price of gasoline stays the same all day,
18:31 - Model Y to be delivered tomorrow, so I’ve been attempting to figure out what the fees are here in Texas. Best I can tell so far, there’s a one-time $400 EV fee upon buying the car, and then $200/year, all of which they say pays into “transportation-related purposes,” in place of revenue they would get from gas taxes. That, in addition to whatever the registration fees would be otherwise, which is at least $50.75 for passenger cars in general. There appear to be further weight-based fees that could be applied, but they start at 6000lb, so presumably they don’t apply, since a Model Y weighs around 4300ish pounds. So, I’m not immediately sure where this alleged $840/year would come from, but still investigating…
Really wish Tesla would get rid of the gas savings that’s included in the purchase price, you think your about to get a Tesla for $27,000 then bam $4,000 of it is “gas savings”

Wife had similar experience on her M3 RWD, but rotated on schedule. I keep my car in *Chill Mode* (Elon is stuck at a 4th grade maturity), and try not to make sudden stops. It enhances distance, saves tires, brakes, and struts.
Agree. I use Chill Model as well to save cost on tires. I'm also careful not to turn the wheel when not moving.
@@pauld3327 good point -- some of the games can use actual steering wheel as controller -- so dumb!!! (buy a bluetooth controller)
Getting a good alignment and fixing the factory bad camber is the best way to prolong tire life

I got the home wall charger when I bought my house. It’s saved my bacon a few times and it’s definitely cheaper than using public chargers, which I did for the first year and a half that I had my Model X. Yes, getting the circuit done costed and it hasn’t quite paid for itself yet, but it will. I’m not selling my house anytime soon. Definitely recommend getting the wall charger.
I would like to note that the Tesla insurance hits you HARD if you regularly drive after the 11PM late night driving curfew. I took a road trip in April and had to do that a few times, and my insurance premium the next month doubled. It’s a cash grab and if you work the graveyard shift, your Safety Score will plummet and you’ll pay through the nose for it.
Yep! That really doesn't make sense. Eye drive less than 500 mi a month but if I go to the grocery store after 11:00 p.m. I get dinged. I don't understand the basis for this. Where I live there's a lot of commute traffic throughout the day and I like to shop late in the evening. Got to make sure I get home by 11:00
Does it go down to previous $ if the following month you don't drive after 11pm?
If you purchase EV charging equipment for your principal residence, you may be eligible for a tax credit for the charging station. This credit is generally 30% of the item’s cost, up to $1,000. Your state may also have additional tax rebates.
One thing to remember is that legacy dealerships add tax and registration into the loan. So you don't have to have the money up front. When I got my Tesla cars I had to make sure I had about $3500 for tax and registration for each one. Tesla did send me all the paperwork mostly already filled out but I had to make an appointment at the county tax office and go give them a check. The good news is they hand you the tags right there so there is no waiting for the dealership to get them and mail them to you or have you come back to get them. It took all of about 15 minutes for me but it will depend on your county tax office and how busy they are and if you make an appointment or not.
The biggest hidden expense is the increased insurance cost ! I have a brand new CX90 which has lower premium than a Model 3 RWD ! I still love the car
That didn't used to be that way. Maybe find a different insurer.
@@TecnamTwin tried multiple every instance Tesla is higher ! The state where I lived doesn’t have Teslas own insurance !
Depends where you live
I have Tesla insurance on my model Y. I don't drive a lot and my insurance is around $95 to $100 a month in east Texas.
@@TecnamTwinThe insurers have finally smartened up. They were loosing money last couple of years due to exorbitant EV repair/replacement cost.
I have the premium connectivity option. I really wish Tesla would provide a weather option on the map. Especially rain/ precipitation. It could operate such that when you selected it you would see it for about 5-10 seconds and then disappear.
But, nobody else seems to be interested
I believe the next update will have details of the weather which is currently rolling out.
This video perpetuates some serious FUD.
My model 3 weighs ~400lbs more than a Similarly equipped Toyota Camry.
Tires: Some guy replaced his tires every 30k miles. Ok that’s what’s called an anecdote and has no statistical significance. Many factors effect this, driving habits, road surface driven on, tire characteristics such as softness, performance vs. long wearing tires.
I just changed my tires at 52000 miles bc i had a leak in on and decided to do all four. All had legal though thin tread.
Exactly. My tires last just as long on my M3P as on my previous ice cars.
So what is it that Tesla needs to stop doing?
Having a crazy CEO.

Installing a wall connector in my garage (and eventually a second) was a pretty easy do-it-yourself project. There are hundreds of RUclips vids here to show you how.
All these government fees and yet the roads, schools, and public areas are a total mess. The scam is real. 🤷🏻♂️
Mobile connector comes free with a tesla in Sweden with a level 2 cable. Order fee is substracted from the total price here too. Tax is included in the price but u have to pay a roadtax of about 30 dollars or less.

I pick up my model Y next week and $250.00 order fee comes off price of vehicle on my paperwork. At least in michigan. 😊
It does everywhere, Ryan missed saying that
Here in SoCal i charge almost exclusively Tesla Fast chargers with a usual cost of 0.26 - 0.40 per kw which averages $15-22 per ful charge an able to drove realistically 275miles for MYLR
When you mentioned accessories you included "screen protectors" in the list. It's worth noting that the Model 3 owners' manual specifically states do NOT install a screen protector
@@PhillProbst I must’ve missed that. I put one on as soon as I purchased the my M3 a year ago. It’s working fine for me (so far).
@@BobbieGWhiz As stated in and copied from the "touchscreen" section of the Model 3 owners' manual "CAUTION
Do not apply a screen protector on the touchscreen. Doing so can result in unintended inputs to the touchscreen (phantom inputs), delayed response or unresponsiveness to touches, electrostatic discharge which can damage the touchscreen, etc. Any damage caused by installing a screen protector is not covered by the warranty." ... so, key takeaway: they have a way to deny warranty coverage for any screen malfunction.
@@PhillProbst Thanks. If my screen fails during the warranty period, I’ll remove the protector before I ask for service.
Sentry mode in my model Y uses about 4-6% of battery a day. Since I don't have charger atm, I have to go to the supercharger about 2 times a week which does add up. Once I get my own place, I won't need to have sentry mode on and I'll be able to charge at home.
SuperCharger fees have gone up substantially. I use to drive from Orlando to Homestead Florida. I would stop at two SCs that had low fees. Those days are gone. It is getting to the point that long distance trips cost as much as a gas car.
They also only allow 80% charging at high traffic chargers. Kind of annoying in a mall parking lot at 2am
You can just bypass that btw. Just set your charging limit past 80. It’s just a recommendation from them
Just override that. You can charge to 100% if you want.
Luckily, I charged at work for free and I’ll top off on Friday to get me through the weekend. I do have a Home Tesla charger as well. This is saves me $80 a week that I was spending on gas for my commute. If you were unable to home charge, If you need to rely on superchargers then it really defeats the convenience of having an EV.
Im new to tesla. And the first time i charged 3 days ago i used a supercharger and man was it expensive than i thought. From 60 to 80% i was charged $12. That cost more than our toyota sienna in miles/dollar cost. You really need to add $1.5k your purchase cost to integrate a 240v home charging to really lower your mileage cost.
The appropriate thing is to see what your electrcity costs in your residence and if you are able to conduct your daily drive on what you would be abily to charge in genreal. The super charger network is not a quality way to conduct overall charging because of the higher rates, and this is pretty damn clear in most circles. The SCN is to be used on long term trips to get you where you need to go. The mindset of how you drive/charge an EV needs to be completely different than how you would drive an ICE vehicle.
@@PhantomShadowzzz yeah, i just didn’t put my mind on that. I thought, superchargers are reasonable since some don’t own a house. I think it was also at peak hours and it cost like .51 cents per kw. I believe my house will cost .17 if i can get 240V.
Installing the charger at home only cost $150 by an electrician.
Don't know how is in the USA but I'm from Europe and installing the wall changer it's as easy as installing any 3 phase socket. The design it's super intuitive and the instructions are very clear. So no need to call an electrician if you have a good DIY base skills.
Three phase in residential in the US is basically non-existent, worse, our "240V" is split phase, not the same as say 240V in the UK.
240V outlets in the US are basically reserved for water heaters, ovens, HVAC, and dryers.
I have the home charger and had a problem with the wiring. In the US. So I use my electric dryer 240 volt outlet. It charged slower but it was always ready the next morning. The outlet is more convenient of course after I got it fixed. But I think the outlet for the dryer is limited to about 20 amps. Still plenty.
California sales tax is dependent on the local tax/city you live in when buying a car, e.g., where Ventura County/L.A. County meet, live in Thousand Oaks and it's 7.25%, but if you live one mile south into L.A County in Westlake Village it's 9.5%. 🤷♂
In SW Washington State we have a flat rate of 7.25 P/ kWh . 24/7/365 With minimal fossil fuel in the energy mix. (thankfully) I hope Californians will eventually see some rate relief as more renewables come online.
1:45 Okay jumping in here, i live in EU (Denmark) and a normal outlet here is 240 standard, but we also have 3 face power where we can get op to 32A on home charger that is almost 22kw. So we have almost 90% wind energy in Denmark, that mean power at night is almost free nobody is buying it, we can charge the car for no more than 10 usd 🙂
Imagine if you had same gas prices as in Finland. For us gas costs 8,2 dollars per gallon (2€ per liter.) On the other hand. Electricity is cheap. Average Electricity cost over the last 4 months has been less than 2 cents per kw/h. If your electricity contract uses electricity exchange market price, you can basically charge your car for 0,00$ between 0 AM and 6 AM. You only have to pay for the electricy transfer fee. Which means that full battery of a Tesla model Y Long range can be less than one dollar. For superchargers and other DC chargers, the prices vary between 25-50cents per kw/h. Still way cheaper than gas.
So we have move to Finland now, what are the upfront costs to unlock this feature?
Your electricity costs are crazy low.
Do people in Finland have heat pumps to heat their homes ? Because at 2 cts/kWh I probably wouldn't have a heat pump...

@@pauld3327 Most of our electricity comes from hydro power+Nuclear+Bio fuels+wind power. we have roughly 80% renewable energy generation. Currently it's summer and lots of hydro+wind and nuclear power has been keeping electricity prices low. Most homes have heat pump or air-water heatpump or geothermal heating or then the heating or district heating where the heat comes from local industry. Either nuclear or for example pulp mill excess heat. Many homes also have internal fireplace for heating that they use during the most cold winter months by burning local firewood. Most cheap prices for electricity is achieved with Electricity Market exchange price. This prices varies a lot. During the night you can get electricity for absolutely free. But in the morning at 8AM peak ours the price can jump to 50cents per kw/h. Even though these spikes usually last for very short time.

You can get contrracts for about 7-8 cents per kw/h fixed price.
i use my y for road trip a couple of times since i bought it last year. the beauty of driving an ev on road trips is that if you book at the hotels that offer free ev charging, you can save lots of money. in one of my trips, i saved over a hundred dollars on charging because i stayed at the hotels that offered free charging. imagine you drive a gas car out of state, to some national park, you have to pay for gas, typically between $100 to two hundred dollars in gas expense on a single trip. but with an ev, you book at hotels that offer free charging, you save money.
With all.these cost for EV's and ICE cars, it's not worth even having one. With financing, insurance, maintenance, government taxes and fees, you'd save thousands per year by just not getting a car
I'm looking for a video on the other Maintenance items... filters, etc. listed in the manual
go to your preferred search engine, search for: "Tesla DIY maintenance Model 3 / Model Y / etc"
Probably TMI, possibly confusing and) or scary for a first time listener. I would sum it up by saying; there's a few things to figure out but you'll save a bundle. Charging at home is the most convenient and affordable option. Although not fun, superchargers are easy enough. Although 2-3 times the cost of home charging, still much less expensive than gas.
Sigh…. I am sooo ready to get a Model Y LR, but the Tesla CEO is giving me pause about the long term future of the company…
In Texas registration is an extra $200 for an EV so my registration went from $79 to $279. However, this was the last year for safety inspections so starting in 2025 I no longer have to have my EVs inspected. I can just renew the tags online, woo hoo! If you have a gas car you still have to get an emissions test but if you have an EV nothing at all.
Wow no safety inspection? That seems really short cited on Texas. Just because there is no emissions, doesn’t mean you don’t have ball joints, control arms, brakes, or bald tires. There are going to be a lot of unsafe EVs on Texas roads in the near future.
@@Jviera1989 It’s not just EVs, ICE vehicles don’t get safety inspections , just emissions.
@@frankcoffey wow, thank you for the clarification, that’s crazy!
I only paid $275 for registration in Texas this year versus $1200+ when I registered in Colorado.
FYI: in Arizona I paid nearly $3000 for 5 years of registration on my 2023 Model Y Performance.
Ouch, I guess one has to stay with EV for 5 years or lose the pre-paid EV registration fee? If you change EV you can re-use the remaining registration or pay another 5 years again and lose out on the previous unused 5 years registration?
@@Trust_but_Verify yes ouch, but I didn't have to pay for five years. I know I'm keeping it as long as I can (my last car was a 2006 Acura TSX). I could have just paid for one year, but with inflation as it is, I thought it would be best to pay as much as I could now because the dollar might be more expensive later.
Hidden fees like internet for the car you need for the full benefits, the garage door opener.
I don't think the garage door opener is available anymore.
Rear Bushings in Model 3 Performance can't just be removed and replaced. Instead the entire motor gets chucked and a new one needs to be installed. The cost of replacement for a rear motor on a Model 3 Performance is $9,000. Stupid engineering.
Wow I never expected the Perelli’s on our Model Yp to last this long ! We firmly expected to twist them off in 20k kilometers with the way we drive, we have 30k on them now and they have about a third left. Outstanding !
The most expensive thing so far has been my motorcycle. It used to seem very fast, and now I need an upgrade. 😅
Then there are the after market accessories that people put back. Things like roof shade, drivers binnacle/HUD, Carplay connection and now maybe indicator/wiper stalks.
I think they should consider increasing the FSD initial access to 60 or 90 days. We'll have these cars for years. Let people try it out, get used to it, then be more likely to decide to keep it. We only tried it a couple of times before the paywall stepped in. We already decided to skip it.
Not only do you have to factor in the supercharger cost, but take performance into consideration. It's easy to say you'll only get 280 miles in a model Y at XXprice. For example my v8 in NYC was costing me $68.85 giving me 238 miles a car that can do 3.1 0-60 and 10.8-11 quarter , while my 4 cyl was $55.25 giving me 425 miles a car that does 0-60 in 8.4 and 16.8 @ 1/4. So when you factor in a model S which is not only faster and heavier, From 0 to 100% would cost $54.95 for 357 of real world miles or 402 claimed. It's a massive difference when comparing it in that light.
I wonder why so many channels repeat Tesla costs, including tires, so many times…great video as always. I just wish there was more to this. 4/5 ⭐️
Good lord CA literally sticks it to you soooooo hard.
It is still subpar for traffic and navigation. It never knows that roads are closed for example or that another route would be better due to traffic.
I charge overnight.
From 12 -8 AM, the power company has a lower rate of 17 cents per kw. Sacramento California
South Seattle area (Auburn) I have switched to TOU plan with PSE and my super-off peak cost at night is 4 cents/kw
For me it is only a few hundred to install a 15-50 connection. The mobile connector is fine as the car I ordered can only charge at 240v32a and that is enough to do a full charge in less than 8 hours anyway. It still needs to be scheduled for like 1am though because I'll probably trip the main breaker if the dryer, AC AND oven is on at the same time...
I don’t think the negligible weight difference is causing much more tire wear. It is most likely the type of tires (softer) and the fact that it is so easy to drive aggressively.
I had bought everything that I needed for the 240v outlet beforehand and had the electrician install it. Cost me $500 dollars. 👍 .14 cents per/kwh on grid at home charging here in Savannah. I have solar panels and a power wall, so I drive for free.
The problem is easy to solve. Just get an extension cord that u can plug from your laundry room outlet to the car
Could be a fire hazard if not done right.
Tesla are basically just good for local small trips and a few long trips a year. If insurance was cheaper tesla would be way more affordable than just kinda affordable
I have a Tesla Model 3 with 19" Continental ProContact RX tires. They're the same model that comes with the car. The treadwear on these tires are low (400). I'm planning on replacing them with the Continental PureContact LS, which are cheaper and have a higher treadwear (700).
Yeah this hits home. I bought a tesla model Y back in june when they had the 0.99% apr deal. First time driving an EV, but I was not expecting to spend 600 dollars buying tesla accessories.

Tge model 3 weighs about the same as a BMW M3.
Driver assist cruise control is standard on most vehicles in the last 5 years. Not really selling point. It’s just what cars do.
Oh gosh, never knew those expenses. Thanks for explaining.
Have had a dual motor LR 2023 Model Y for 1.5 years. Dirty little secret about these cars is if you can not charge at home with cheap electric rates then it is cheaper to drive an ice car regarding cost of fuel per mile and way way way more convenient. People can say all they want about the fact it is not so bad charging at a super charger but that is pure bull#@#@. Often have to go substantially out of your way and then wait for a half hour or more while it charges. This can be pretty awful at times and just does not happen with ice cars.
Now there are many plusses with the Tesla and I like my car but if you can't charge at home and are doing a lot of driving that requires you to often use super chargers then a no brainier - get an ice car. If you can charge at home and don't need to often super charge then again a no brainier - if you can find a Tesla model that you like - get it!
Many people will not like this post but sorry that is the way it is for an average working person that needs to be able to get in their car and go when they need to.
I'm even happier that I moved out of California years ago. Reg. for my Tesla model S247 this year.😊
There is still brake fluid and coolant (for the battery) that needs to be replaced on a maintenance schedule.
I got hit with a >30% insurance premium in switching ICE -> Tesla f9r same value vehicle. Insurance company claims Teslas are rated highest for collision repairs. Not sure if this is reality or just gouging.
FSD and Premium should included for free of all IMHO. A better per use pricing model would be more reasonable. Per mile/Day for FSD/Premium subscriptions .
In Ireland my insurance is currently €344 a year and I have a special EV charging rate of 0.08 cent an hour between 2-6am so a full charge costs about €4
$800-1200 for 4 tires replacement isnt much. Lexus is charging $1600-1800 and thats every 2-3yr.
Hi Ryan, you have a Y and now a new 3. How much better is the ride and quiet in the new 3 compared to your Y. For example ride in New 3 is as good as a MB or other german car or just better for a Tesla. Same goes with cabin sound. How much quieter is the interior sound compared to your Y. Thanks and have a great weekend.
I have a 2023 Y and new 3. 3 is more comfortable but not MB or Lexus floaty ride. I have not driven aggressively with the new 3 but comparable to BMW that I used to drive (330xi). Cabin sound is quieter in 3 than Y.
Hopefully when I go to purchase, which is about three years out because I want to get a better apartment that has connectivity before I get a Tesla will be improvements on the model Y by then
In my part of Massachusetts, my normal rate (no off peak option) is the same cost as what you pay for your peak charging. It’s cheaper for me to charge at a supercharger than it is to charge at home. Kind of sad as I always wanted to be able to charge while I am parking but instead I need to “drive to the gas station” to fill my car up every week.
charged in my apartment complex for free for two years straight
That’s some crazy electric rates! I pay 31$ flat fee a month for off peak unlimited charging from FPL (Florida power and light)
When you pay for enhanced connectivity, you should be able to connect your phone to the car's wifi. So many newer cars offer this as an option. Tesla comes across as being cheap by not offering this. I still need to use my phone's data to listen to XM radio since Tesla doesn't offer satellite radio as an option or even as an app to stream.
those electricity rates are nuts! my super off peak per hr is 2 cents / kwh (USD) here in Ontario. Super off peak is from 11pm to like 7am tho. The most it gets is like 21 cents per kWh (USD) during on peak.
Hankook now is selling a 50,000 mile warranty in an EV specifically designed Tire.
Ryan, I’d be curious to know if your Tesla service dept took care of the rattle. Mine said that “they are very hard to diagnose” and sent me on my way without looking at it. 😡
Is yours coming from the trunk? I had a bad rattle and I loosened the two rubber pegs on the bottom of the hatchback and it got rid of it.
“The best service is no service” that’s Starlinks motto as well but I think they mean customer service
In Australia we have free charging I haven't paid a cent for charging since I got the car 18 months ago
So yeah one more reason to never live in California. Ours is 2-8 is 6.89 and all other is 5.04.
What are you trying to say?
Literally a 10th the cost. Instead of $0.61 per kw ours is $0.0689.
Another fine video Ryan, thank you. You kind of glossed over charging costs for those of us with solar. I make more than I use and my utility pays me the wholesale price of about 2 cents/kWh so my yearly "cost" of charging is about $50. MUCH less than gas would cost. The mobile charger works just fine and I have an otherwise unused dryer outlet. Like many owners I also have free supercharging so road trips cost nothing. As far as charging times, the model 3 I drive now is LR so I pretty much achieve the 10-15 min charge times on trips by stopping every 2 hours which I would do anyway. With my old Model S the charging times did impact driving time so a 1000 mile trip took hours longer.
Those rates make staying in VA much more appealing. Home rates at night are 10cents. There is a nearby supercharger that ranges between 17 cents to 41 cents depending on time of day.
Ok well EVs are often NOT several thousand pounds heavier than a traditional ICE vehicle as mentioned at the 7:59 mark. Sure they could be a few hundred pounds heavier to several hundred pounds heavier. My 4200 lb Challenger wouldn’t be 11000 lb for its comparable ev counterpart.
Knowing people who own Tesla's, I learned one basic fact about them - They are not made to be serviced in case of a minor traffic accident.... People here in the Northwest wait months for a qualified body shop to restore their Tesla's. I won't buy one......
Can you do a video on additional things you can purchase from Tesla. Someone said they offer PPF now. can this be purchased when you order the car or is it a service after you take delivery?
You left out paying a higher sticker price for an EV and faster depreciation as you start getting more miles on the car. Which could offset any fuel savings.
you failed to mention the finance charge which can cost as high as the tax if not more.
Excellent presentation. Sure wish I had seen before I purchased my MY.
Tax ice appropriately for carbon emissions and that should offset the missing ev road taxs missed. =b
No jokes ty for the content Ryan
This is not true.
Buying a new Tesla in Europe (Norway) does not include registration / other fees that can add a cost 10-5% extra compared to what Tesla states. This is indeed a huge «hidden» cost!
Excellent video. Thanks Ryan for the information.
Tesla DOES NOT make LUXURY vehicles. It makes EVs, in no shape or way is Tesla luxury. Get in an actual luxury vehicle and you can tell there is a clear difference.
Was going to lease a M3 until I saw all the fees. Also, what’s up with no silver M3? Unable to upgrade the paint shop?
I find it interesting that nobody ever mentions that the price to charge at a Tesla Supercharger
goes from 39 cents per kWh at 6am to 60 cents after 8am.
While the price of gasoline stays the same all day,
Only where you live. In the Midwest it's $0.34-$0.39 per kw no matter what time it is. The cheaper price is for older 120-150kw stations.
18:31 - Model Y to be delivered tomorrow, so I’ve been attempting to figure out what the fees are here in Texas.
Best I can tell so far, there’s a one-time $400 EV fee upon buying the car, and then $200/year, all of which they say pays into “transportation-related purposes,” in place of revenue they would get from gas taxes.
That, in addition to whatever the registration fees would be otherwise, which is at least $50.75 for passenger cars in general.
There appear to be further weight-based fees that could be applied, but they start at 6000lb, so presumably they don’t apply, since a Model Y weighs around 4300ish pounds.
So, I’m not immediately sure where this alleged $840/year would come from, but still investigating…
I don't think the charging equipment needed isn't a hidden fee. Anyone buying an EV has to do a little research.
appreciate a video like this!
Really wish Tesla would get rid of the gas savings that’s included in the purchase price, you think your about to get a Tesla for $27,000 then bam $4,000 of it is “gas savings”
They have updated the website and can now uncheck gas savings on calculator
Great vid. Very thorough. Thanks!
