This Tesla buyer’s guide video will walk you through everything you need to know about the current Tesla vehicles in 2023 including the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, Cybertruck & Roadster
Tesla has achieved a 5-star safety rating for all its vehicles. All Teslas come standard with Automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind spot collision warning, and lane departure avoidance. All Tesla vehicles come with a center touch screen running Tesla’s proprietary software. Tesla owners can use the free mobile app to control the car
Tesla Autopilot is the advanced safety & convenience features. It comes standard with all vehicles and enables your car to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically within its lane. Enhanced Autopilot ($6000) adds more features such as Navigate on Autopilot, Auto Lane Change, Autopark & Summon. For $15,000 you can access Full Self Driving Capability which adds Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control and Autosteer on city streets (FSD Beta)
Owning a Tesla comes with benefits of an electric vehicle including: no engine, front trunks that add storage space, no gas or oil, only paying for electricity which is usually cheaper than gas, less maintenance due to fewer moving parts, quiet drive, instant torque for quick acceleration

![Evolution of Tesla [2008-2023]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bepwr1-CNRU/mqdefault.jpg)
I have my Tesla, a 2021 Model 3 SR+, which I lovingly refer to as my “poor man’s Tesla.” (I’m a retired elementary school teacher.) Yes, it is the least expensive, shortest range, slowest, and smallest Tesla made.
Yet… it is faster than everything else off the line at every green light (and I’m not even jamming the accelerator), plenty of get up and go for freeway maneuvers, has plenty of room for my family (2 adults, 2 teenage boys - and I’m 6’1”), lots of storage space for all our luggage for long road trips, and I’ve driven the car from CA > KY, over 5,500 miles, as well as other long
road trips up and down the West Coast, San Diego to Washington state.
In other words, it has been an amazing car in the two years and 27,000+ miles I’ve had it!
My three favorite things about EVs in general (my wife has a VW ID.4) and Tesla specifically: they are inexpensive to operate, very easy to live with, and fun and fresh (thanks to the OTA updates from Tesla) to drive!
Nice work as always, Andy!
So funny, for years I've been telling people my Chevy Bolt is a "poor mans Tesla"!
@@hgodtx Hey, that works, too!! 😂
How tf do you afford that. You make like no income
Not expensive when you have to change battery...
@@tarickaskani3396 Very true! It is, as you say (and I quote) “not expensive when you have to change the battery,” because that does not happen. Since it doesn’t happen, it’s no cost!
However, my 2008 Toyota Sienna did get a quote of nearly $7,000.00 to rebuild the engine. It had suffered a catastrophic failure of the cooling system driving down the freeway. And when I was in college I did have to rebuild the engine in my ‘67 VW van because the distributor shaft shattered. Metal filings everywhere.
Battery exchanges are covered under vehicle warranty for 100k miles or more. Only in the fevered mind of ICE advocates is it a “thing.”
Safe travels all!
Great review of the entire range. Thx
Andy you’venot noted the significant variation in sound systems between versions of the Model 3 and Y. Like your advice and tips very much and always recommend a subscription to your postings to owners or potential owners or shoppers considering a Tesla.
Dope video much appreciated!
Getting the Monday Y Performance. Most Bang for the Buck IMHO
I just wish they had Apple car play it’s super annoying that they don’t after how much I paid for the darn thing
Love your vids, Andy. Getting my Model 3 in 5 days, and I'm beyond excited!!
Congrat!
How’s it going?
Wow😀
Thanks Pro regards from Holland
My wife has a 2021 SR-Y. Ordering my LR-Y on Thursday!!!
Another very good and informative Video. I am planning to buy Tesla Model 3 RWD this week. You said that all Tesla Model 3 has sentry mode with 128GB HYD in the glove box for the sentry mode recording. I read somewhere that sentry mode is country dependent. Pls confirm that that sentry mode feature is also available in Tesla Model 3 supplied and sold in Canada. Thanks.
Great video with so much info!
It's impossible to make mistake. ALL of them are so great.
😂what a joke
@@Holt0216 Why?
@@JagsP95 the only thing Tesla was good for was early stock investors, it’s just a pipe dream for… well… people who dream. Just a greedy company preying on people’s money
You must be kidding
@@Holt0216 yeah, why?
@Andy Slye
I am in the market for MY, any insight/suggestions on which one should I buy MY AWD with 4680 batteries vs LR with 2170 batteries?
Thanks
I've got my I on a Tesla long-range model S - has Andy heard anything good/bad about them? Recommend options?
Getting Module S My forth one - this one will be the PLAID- YAY!
I watch your vids a lot, and I appreciate them. It shows some amazing safety features I wish were trickled down to ALL automakers. However, I have lots of unanswered questions about BEVS and PHEVs vs ICE, and the practicality and safety concerns regarding Autopilot in a world where we appear so distracted already. Yes, “Driver Assistance” aides we need to assist us in being safer, more efficient, and more aware. But I beg to differ on many of their practical applications. It is almost as if we are being sold BEVs as the next thing since water. What of Hydrogen Fuel Cells and other Bio-fuel technologies we have been hearing about? I like how Toyota and Mazda and BMW and others I am sure of have chosen not put “all their eggs in one basket” in such a dynamic market. Thank you for making such informative videos. We need more real world comparisons between all these type of technologies. I’m advocating for a fun competition between ICE vs BEV vs PHEV vs Hydrogen Fuel Cells and other alternative fuel sources to do [cross-country] destination runs across the continental US and in all countries where they appear to be trying to bury ICE vehicles. I am actually becoming convinced that we will be very surprised. ELON inspires me just as Nikola Tesla does. We should not forget the past and our history if we ever wish to move forward. Range anxieties and practicality are a must! I would so appreciate a sit down interview with ELON! They all have their applications, so why not let them demonstrate their practicalities in a healthy and fun competition?
Great video, thanks
I'm a Detroit boy through and through and my mother worked 25 years in a General Motors plant. However, I don't think I'll drive anything else other than a Tesla ever again. I look for excuses to drive my Tesla. My driving experience has been revolutionized.
Nice video. Getting a Model s plaid.
You are right and to avoid that mistake I'm not baying any.
Bought a 2022 model 3 sr+ but I really wish I got the mode y performance
How strong is the glass on model 3? We get hail in Canada and they can be the size of golf balls. Will it withstand that?
Does the 2023 m3 performance have the lfp battery or those only in the standard range m3’s?
Excellent presentation
Wow... nice video. I need a tesla with storage space. Im going to check out the two mid size tesla's that you mentioned, and compare the storage space
I started considering getting a Tesla and this was a great starting point, since I knew not much about them, or have been inside all of the diff models. Thanks
Andy!
You mention you can choose between the wall charger and the mobile charger, but, they don't include either anymore, right?
In the tesla app the my cost shows the order fee subtracted out of the final price.
This was a great video
Keep Posting Great #Tesla Content
Thank you showed my dad and he’s buying the model x plaid or s plaid
Great video.
Tesla model X is rubbish. I am having FWD door issue since the very 1st month I bought brand new Tesla model-x 2023. They tried to fix it 4 times in last 4 months and still issue persists. They now say they don't cover intermittent issues under warranty and basically I am left with no other option that to goto court which I don't have time for. I wish the company goes down the hell to burn my hard earned money.
I went with the model s plaid. No regrets!
Lucky!!!🎉
By none until they come with a spare tire. Inability to change a flat tire is a huge safety issue.
Well written summary. Thank you.
Good one as usual Andy, one thing not mentioned especially if EV ownership if projected to 10 years or longer, cost of battery replacement , would it change the math?
No, not necessarily if I understand your question correctly. The average consumer ICE vehicle lasts about as long if not slightly longer than EVs projected battery lifespan. By the time malfunction arrives and replacement is necessary, any ICE vehicle would have lived a long and happy life, ready for retirement :)
I am a member of tesla owners group. I think you are worry free as far as you are in warranty. I heard lots of people spending $20k for a 9 years old tesla model s car, to replace battery and motor plus other issued such as auto pilot etc...
@@tarickaskani3396It is true. Andy mentioned only the positive aspects. In reality, Battery cost, expensive tires replacement every 20K-25K miles, waiting for months to order parts in case of any accidents or repairs would cause you a long headache.
Love the Y but hate the dash board or lack of one. Do you have any experience with the dash installed after you receive the car?
there are kits you can purchase and install yourself!
What about the model 3 rwd long range?
Well summarized Andy. Do you think it’s worth waiting for HW4 before placing an order?
If you wait for HW4 you’ll be waiting forever. Too hard to time these changes
If you consider 3 months forever

I disagree with the quiet ride that you claim in Model 3 and Y. Sure, driving around in the parking lot is very quiet having no firing engine. But the lack of sound insulation, it is ridiculously loud in the freeway and on the road.
the new ones have better insulation
@@SandKraken i got my model y on Feb of this year. But still...
Can’t agree more, hope Tesla can improve
I'm waiting for the next gen (Model 2? Model 3 redux?) before I make any decisions. Currently the Model Y would be the best fit, or maybe the cybertruck, but hoping for my dream (fantasy?) Tesla:
*hardware 4,
*LFP chemistry in 4680 form factor batteries,
*Dual motor all wheel drive*,
*300+ miles of range,
*
Just remember that the range perminently drops by 8% the first year. So its full range will be 270ish. Also if it gets cold that could drop again by upto 50%(just until the weather changes). So you'll have a range of maybe 135-150 miles in the winter for a full charge.
what color is the car at 4:08?
Great Video . I'm looking at EVs . So tempted to get Model 3 Long Range or Model Y . Can't decide . I do like the practicality of Model Y. But Model 3 looks better. I'm looking at getting it for Summer next yr !!!
I chose the 2019 dual motor all wheel drive Model 3 long range, and I "LOVE" it. Get the bells and whistles that work for you. I have FSD , enhanced acceleration, ...
I also have a black model S Plaid
Cant afford one maybe if the 25k model which by the time that one comes out it will start at 35k
Cybertruck on order since 2021. Both good and bad,, the bad...
I imagine it's going to be a minute before I get mine.
The good...
I'll be paying cash.
nice
With the new sodium batteries i wonder how much cheaper they will be
I notice that you can get a used tesla for a fraction of the cost and that it comes with Full self-driving as well. No need to pay 15,000. This something people should look into, I know I will buy mine used the mileage is not bad as well.
This is what I am looking at right now. It's worth noting, you do not qualify for the US Govt 7,500 tax incentive if you get used. In most cases, you can find savings greater than that, especially if you're buying directly from Tesla.
Full self driving does not transfer with the car
@rwentowski • sure it does buddy •
Why does it say destination cost included
Do you have the RWD model 3 or the dual motor LR?
RWD Long Range (discontinued)
@@aslye thanks for the reply, I also wanted to know, since you live in KY and deal with driving in snow, how does it handle? And how do you deal with range reduction in cold weather? I was interested in getting a LR AWD since I live in Ohio and have to deal with snow also.
I'll buy an EV like Tesla when you can supply one that doesn't cost an astronomical amount of money to repair when something goes wrong with it outside of its warranty period, doesn't lose up to 50% of its value over 3 years and doesn't cost a whole heap of money to insure because insurance companies see them as high risk to their bottom line after an accident.
So no one is going to talk about how she ran a red light 1:49 lol
If i had the money for one i would get the model x plaid
The revised epa mileage for Tesla I believe is bogus.
Does an 6 foot 2 /261 pound person fit a model S?
I'm 6'6" 200 lbs and I fit fine. I drive it with the seat all the way back but can easily drive the car with seat moved up to make more room for someone in the back seat. Price for the Model S long range is now $74,999. My Plaid Ultra Red was $89,990. No extra for any external color. Extra cost options are Yolk steering wheel, white interior, and 21 inch wheels.
As always, a nice, professional and useful video, Andy!
You can always be counted on to get right to the details and to also allow us to hear about your experiences. You are SOLID GOLD!
Thank you!
P.S. Kinda sounds like Tesla's PR company wrote a lot of the "specs" text for you to read. No worries, but because you speak (or the video speed is "enhanced") fast, I had to CONSTANTLY, stop and rewind to hear all the spec details packed in to every sentence.
May want to ask Tesla's PR firm to not enhance the speed of the video.
Remember, the #1 group of car buyers is WOMEN. (Over 70% of the NEW cars purchase decisions are either directly by a woman or heavily "influenced" by a woman.
This is according to published, industry stats.
The remaining 30% of the NEW car decisions are made by men - who are single, or are buying a "collector" (not a commuter) car, or have no family and/or no significant female in their life.
SOOoooo...as I am starting to explain to a couple of other "engineering" - driven sites, please SLOW DOWN and speak in your NATURAL voice. You have a GREAT Midwestern voice, which is very pleasant to listen to.
NO need to RACE through everything. We LOVE what you have to say.
Hugs and again, THANK YOU!!!
💐🌺🌻
Lies again? Tesla Car Ghost Car
so excited for my model 3!!
Hi, I live in new jersey I just placed an order which can also get state credit for $4,000 that will automatically deducted and no sales tax thanks.
This could be stupid, guess I could do the math, but does charging phones take up battery that may be needed for range? Good vid!
No, not significantly enough to matter. Even 5-10 phones charged fully would probably not hurt range more than a mile.
@@aneeshramakrishnan1958 Thanks, makes sense, just also puts in perspective how much juice EV batteries have!
I was at the Tesla dealership today and one of the sales guys did mention using ac, seat warmers and etc would take some out the battery obviously but not sure if it’ll do much draining
That wouldnt be a concern. The driving conditions havr to biggest impact on range. Plus the range drops like 8% the first year just because thats how batteries are.
@@THEANTONBROTHERS I sit in the rear seast. 3 rear seats were warmed up 3 hours while parking. Less than 1% of battery consumed
I have both wall connector and mobile charger. I keep the mobile charger in my trunk for emergency
Safety? 😂 the dang steering wheels fell of in some Teslas recently
i getting a 2021 testla model 3
I'm selling my 2022 Y LR. Purchased in October. Love it but need more range. 23 Model X LR I hope will make the 250 mile commute easier. Y is fine above 50 degrees but won't make it without stopping to charge under 45 degrees
I am about to purchase the 2022 Y LR and this is not good to hear. I live in UK and atm it’s around 45 degrees Fahrenheit currently and mostly under. I need to do around 250 miles on the motorway everyday. Might need to go for Model 3 LR
@@indiemaniac88 You will never make the 250 mile commute in cold weather with the MYLR unless you travel a steady 55mph on a flat highway or on a downgrade.
Love the Roadster
how hot does that black interior get in summer
Most folks on the board say very warm and, worse, that it doesn’t “breath” well, so you can get hot/sweaty quickly. Kinda wished they put ventilated seats on the 3 and Y.
I won't make a mistake in purchasing one. Very happy with my petrol & diesel engines I drive around in.... 😂
I got an ad for a fully electric Nissan car before this video
Bring it on VOOT ;)
Yeah good luck when the battery needs relaxing in 2023 it will cost 5-20k. Rain can damage it. and freezing temperatures as well
How has the removal of the Ultrasonic Sensors from the bumper without Tesla Vision being ready for use affected safety?
No parking assist and you lose a lot of features of Autopilot and Enhanced Autopilot that you paid for without them.
Without the USS, Tesla is not the safe vehicle it class to be. They promised Tesla Vision 6 months ago....not arrived yet.
I’m wondering the same. How is autopilot affected now that USS have been removed?
I have a question for Elon would it be a good idea for a ev to be able to pull in to a station have a robot pull a battery out from under the vehicle and replace it with a charged one. Simotainlesly charging the customer a fee and they could be on their way more efficiently than charging
That was an option already discussed and discarded. Maybe in the future that could happen
In China I’ve seen this on Taxi EVs. Very cool and takes less than 5 minutes.
Did he just run a red light at 1:49 🤣
Which one? They only make two dated models in any volume.
Did anyone catch her run the red light 😂
The 18” wheels are ugly more range or not would rather have 19 inch sexy sports rims
This is almost the same video as a year ago. Respect.
The Cybertruck💀
I tried to talk myself into going the EV route but after 6 months of learning all I could about Tesla, I just couldn’t feel good about it. I do believe Tesla is the only EV to go with simply because of the Tesla Supercharger network but at the the end of the day it just wasn’t enough. I still think it’s kool technology.
Its not for everyone, im on the opposite end tho. Ive been trying to convince myself not to buy it since i have a reliable paid off 19' civic hatchback
BUT
1Working in home health, entering patients house 5x a day at least, means 5x in and out of a hot car in the summer. With tesla they have the overheat protection that keeps car cool when i enter.
2 i can idle in teh car calling doctors, med offices pharmacies without worrying about ruining the engine or pollution.
3. full charge every morning for home health.
4. i do city drive 98% of the 50 mile commute, so i save a lot of regenerative breaking vs my gas car thats better on HW.
5. big screen that i can use to check patients charts, navigation from my phone etc.
In the end of the day it all depends on ur needs.

What kind of car do you drive now?
@@faltio69 I bought a 2022 Honda Ridgeline. I was strongly considering a new model y back in January but for me, I wanted a vehicle that does it all and the Honda checked all of the boxes and more, plus it saved me quite a bit compared to the model Y. I might come back to it or the model 3 in a year because I still need another car for my family. The deciding factor was a good friend of mine has the model Y and although he loves the car he did admit that he takes his ice vehicle on trips because of the inconvenience of charging once you arrive at your destination.
@@HeyItsAvi90 Tesla is the way to go if you are going EV. It certainly has its advantages over the competitors.
@@jeffreyblanton9877 you should also consider maintenance on a tesla it is very little compare to an ICE car like your Honda which should make up for the difference on other things. There over 25,000 superchargers across the country and over 50K around the world.
I am 74 years old. The Model Y with slightly higher seats than the M3 is easier for me to get in and out of.
I love that fact.
Same for me
Model 3 or model S simply choose
Here's my advice. Buy a good used Gen II Volt Premier instead.
With an honest 50 miles of range most commutes will be all electric. Mine total 12,000 miles annually without burning a drop of gas.
And if need be, you can go cross country at 40+ mpg without any range anxiety or coordinated stops.
Savings on Maintenance?
My Volt's annual oil change is so expensive.
With the remaining $30,000 - $50,000 of savings, buy gold or silver.
You will be much better off.
Model x or model s
All colors are free now.
I had a model x, loved the car, but it had really limited range. The car was totalled when I was hit by a driver jacked up on drugs. Now I have a 2022 bmw x5e. Nice car but battery only allows approx 35 miles per charge. I am thinking of trading to a model y....I am concerned about how quiet this car is , any comments?
Model Y is the one I now drive. Previous drove a 2018 Model S fully loaded.
Y is absolutely trouble free, easy to live with, and plenty quiet and comfortable. It is not as smooth around town without the air suspension. Given it is a big purchase, it'd the right thing to schedule a test drive and see if you like it.
Who knows, you may go the other way towards the performance model.
My problem with Tesla cars is I can’t tell the difference between the SUV model, sedan and economy version, they all look the same. 🤷🏻♂️
LOL, $!5k for auto-pilot. That Cybertruck looks like something from a bad cartoon. The Model 3 and Y are nice (sensible) vehicles.
Cybertruck: y’all gonna get cooked!
All Tesla model: 😞
Roadsters: excuse me?
Cybertruck: OH uh… I didn’t challenge you to race though
Roadsters: did I hear ræçę?
Cybertruck: HELL NAW IM COOKED 😭💀
Do, you get the tax break rebate if you are on va disability
Nah the roadster beats them all 👌🏻🔥
Facts
1:47 we just gonna ignore that she blew past the red light ?
Hey all, I'm a truck guy ,new to sedans, im going to a sedan. I'm looking at buying a 2023 toyota camry se hybrid, but today I saw that a new tesla model 3 was basically 2k cheaper. I'm gonna test drive one tomorrow. But what one do I get if I like them both? I drive to work 5 miles from my house, I drive maybe to the store once in a while 15 miles max, I also have 2 little kids 6 and 2 months old. Would a tesla be kid friendly or roomy. I also 3 times a year go on a road trip that's about 223 miles away with 4 grown adults and 4 bags of golf clubs. I live by a few super chargers maybe 3 miles away. I'm open to all opinions. I'm trying to weigh my pros and cons. Has everyone gotten the 7500 tax credit or is it a nightmare to get it?
I tried to choose between 2022 Honda sport 2.0 T, 2023 Honda sport hybrid or 2023 Toyota Prius. Found out, cheapest one is 2.0T, I need to pay around $37000, for 2023 Toyota Prius dealer ask $36000, so add on tax , fee the final price will be over $40000. Finally I choose Tesla 3 RD, easy purchase process, after $4000 NJ rebate and $7500 federal tax credit, that final price is $34018.85. Pretty space car, I feel the same space as my Audi A6. Only thing I do not like is parking sensor missing
Millions of people in Europe, are postoning the change to EVs, waiting for Tesla. Streets are very narrow, so people that can afford a Model 3 orY, await a compact model 2(That Elon named Highland) say like VW Golf size, but with driving specs like M3. If the compact car also comes at the half price, that will activate a huge demand, that would exceed all other models comebined, which is the goal in 2023. A refresh of a 5 year old M3, simply cant do that. Elon: In 2023, we will focus on a mindblowing upscaling of production, and not so much on profit. So dont expect any nieche products.
It would be very interesting to see a small Tesla. It would be good to see them in Europe as it will encourage competition from other manufacturers to improve their electric vehicles. I love the new Fiat and Mini EV's but their range is rather poor
We Americans want smaller cars too, especially if they are more affordable than the current EVs.
Model Y, best deal out there right now but not for long…
The R1S blows the Model X away
You can get 2023 model S for 74k
Yeah I prefer a car with a boot rather than a hatch back
Wish I had enough to get a Tesla but they cost alot of money
