You forgot about insurance. I pay $40/month for my trusty Camry. Same company, same policy, the insurance goes up to $300/month with a Tesla. It's nuts.
I only would consider the registration cost as unexpected. Depreciation is not an expense until you sell it, an if you are really worried about that, buy used ICE or EV cars. Accessories are a thing for every car. Tires are an expense for both, and in both types of vehicle if you drive like an A$$ you'll go through them faster. Paying for the charger is something that any buyer of an EV needs to consider. so not unexpected.
1. The price drops aren´t a big thing anymore. Only in 2023, since then the prices are pretty much flat. 3. you also pay extra for ICE verhicle accessories so it´s not really a hidden cost.
Ive never understood that resell value argument. You buy stocks or a tool to drive from A to B ? idk, maybe im too european and car is just a tool that im gonna use for the next 25 years at very least.. But how teslas are made i doubt that it would last that many years without serious expenses/maitenace/ misc. spending.
Thanks for the video-helpful. I’m really considering purchasing a telsa model 3. Taking up the new 3.99% interest rate before the end of December. All cars depreciate. I am so indecisive. I get laid $1.00 per kilometre I drive a Client. Could be really worth it?
@@Meerkat81 the latest model 3 LR RWD gets over 4 miles per KW going 70 mph in a recent test so 6.44 km/kW compared to this to gas prices in you area and the mpg (lol) of whatever other car you are considering. Get an insurance quote and an electrician estimate (if you plan to have a wall charger) and registration cost and figure your break even point . I hit it at 29K miles but I had bought a mobile charger as well as a wall charger.
A $200 gas tax is two tank full of gas in a pick up truck that gets 12 miles to the gallon. In Texas, you can charge your Tesla overnight for five dollars a month. So for everybody that drives less than 300 miles a day the whole month is only five dollars come on what are you doing? Come on come on come on come on.
A good third of americans are not home owners, and owning an EV is a lot less practical in this scenario. I do have a buddy who has a model 3 and he says it doesn't bother him needing to find a charger ~once a week, but it's a lot more expensive and inconvenient than overnight charging at home. On top of this, it's a lot more sustainable to drive a used car that gets pretty good gas mileage, the cast majority of people are not getting 12 to the gallon with a 100,000 dollar pickup, i drive a 6,000 dollar golf that gets up to 30 to the gallon on the highway. Also comments like this are the quickest way to alienate fence sitters on the issue of EVs. Also i think it's a disservice to encourage people to go get a new car unless they have an old broken down one that's not worth to fix.
Covid, interest rate jump in summer of 2022, and inflation played a huge role in all of this. Why is this not talked about? People love the click bait but you are leaving huge factors out.
What u described is the same about every car. But what ur missing is that Tesla holds its value the best. Everything else from PPF to registration costs to to tires r the same for all EV’s. Ur lucky ur too little of a guy for Tesla to take legal actions against.

The amount of money I save in gas by paying $35 per month to charge all three of my Teslas……I don’t really worry about those things

Buy a $100,000 pick up and we’ll see what that’s worth in three years

I pay almost $400 a month in gas alone with how much I drive.. I just got approved for 0%APR for 60 months on a model Y!
Nice, congrats on the 0%!

@ cheers! Appreciate your knowledge. I wouldn’t know how to break it down like that!!
I’ll subscribe to your channel.

Literally none of these things are hidden expenses. They are obvious to anyone who does even cursory level of research before buying the car.
and those tires are low profile and wont get much mileage out of them to begin with.
True
Buckle up, buttercup. We are gonna quit subsidizing the oil and gas industries in this country.😊
