Could you make a video showing how you service your tesla? Like testing brake fluid, clean and lubricate calipers and air filters. Can't seem to find it on your channel and would love to see it :) Thanks
I’m planning to get black seats with my Model Y since I prefer a darker interior and don’t want sunlight reflecting all around my car and into my face. I don’t care if it doesn’t look “cool” or “iconic” or if it’s “not a real tesla” it’s beautiful to me and that’s all that matters. As long as it’s the same material then I prefer black.
My husband recently got the gray model Y with black seats and he’s happy with it, we drove to Vegas from Southern California and had plenty of charging stations. Plan of getting one myself when the new model Y come out.
@@daphneheart Nice, I plan to get the current Y since I like the look of the front headlights and wood trim interior more than the new one and prefer using stalks for the turn signals.
Love my long range model 3, I use the mileage regularly without doing a road trip. It helps not having range anxiety when visiting family and going to the wine country.
We have had our Y long Range for about a year and a half and have never ended any day or trip below 40% after starting most days at 80% . Range is never an issue even on road trips. Our daily commute is approx 60 miles.
At the same time I ride 130 miles a day. it makes a lot more sense to take the 1 minute to get a full tank and be good for another day or 200 mile tank.
I’ve had a standard range model X for five years, I’ve driven it from Southern California to Oregon about eight times. There are way more chargers nowadays than you even need. Range is not an issue. Don’t be scared of standard range - it’s a way better deal!
I just bought a new 2024 MY performance, and with the tax credit and 1.99% apr I'm gonna pay $640 a month. My neighbor bought a used 2023 MY performance with 28k miles for $36k, with 5.99 apr no tax credit, he is paying $694 a month. Buying a used car is usually expensive in comparison to buying a new car.
@yzaloren2520 Everyone needs to pay $250 to order the car, and then you do the loan and lease process. I put a $1,000 down-payment. So when I went to pick it up, I paid $1,000. Total $1,250.
Worth noting that the Model 3 owners' manual states: "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." ... bottom line: they have a way to deny warranty coverage for any screen malfunction.
I've had my 2020 Model 3, long range, AWD for 4.5 years with 6 grandkids climbing all over my white seats. There is not one smudge or tear on them. Everyone is impressed by their beauty. As for mileage estimates: 1% of charge = 2 miles of range. Tesla's "miles left" is a joke. Or use 80% of their mileage estimate for the same result. Enjoyed the video and learned a few things!
I bought my 2019 Model 3 Standard Range + new and have driven it 45,000 miles. Biggest mistake - by far - was not buying the long range model. Huge mistake. I have very little battery degradation, rarely charge above 80%, and have a level 2 charger at home. But, if I charge to 80% and drive the 155 mile round trip from San Francisco to Santa Cruz I can barely make it home. So I charge to 85% and can drive 155 miles and bring it down to about 7-8%. The effective highway range is 155 miles. A huge huge hassle for longer trips! LA is a pain, Palm Springs nearly impossible. Tahoe.. no go. Seattle LOL.. forget it. Always buy the long range. Everything else is optional.
@@kungfoochicken08@kungfoochicken08 I have two standard road trips: skiing 300 miles through mountains back and forth and a 360-mile round-trip highway. Even the long-range Model 3 can only make these trips with a charging. Cold multiplied by speed does the trick. I value my time and use a Hybrid car. Since superchargers consume time and are more expensive than gas.
@@philipp4631 Is there a Supercharger on that route? A 300 mile trip would require a 10 minute stop at a Supercharger. They’re usually well place right off the highway. The time you “waste” on roadtrips is more than made up in the time you save by not going to gas stations during regular driving. I plug in at night and wake up to a full battery every morning. I say “waste” because I don’t really stop more often on road trips. I have young kids and a wife, so I have to stop every 2-3 hours anyway.
What about snowy winters or dry dark clear winter skies with very low frost temps? On snow tires. Curious, I have an Opel, 50kW (Stellantis European), super compact - yet to go into the winter. Netherlands.
@@nas4apps First year owning it. Winter is 2 months away. I'll update you then! The other day I choose to drive with economy in mind. Stay at 70mph etc. That being said I left w/ 80% and arrived home at night around 27%. I have to cross to mountain passes which suck battery out (same for gas cars) and choose to slow down for regen breaking. Gained miles by the end. Consumed a a heck ton less than expected.
I strongly recommend the wall connector for charging. I think it's far safer too. I installed my own (with permits/inspections) and I recommend 4 gauge wire from the breaker box. If you install a NEMA 14-50 connector, please use an industrial quality NEMA 14-50 outlet. Cheap outlets can cause a fire as I hear.
Our family owns 4 Teslas. We have been driving Tesla since 2013. In the beginning we went for the 85 kW battery nowadays we go for charging speed. So we have a Model Y Berlin made with BYD blade batteries that charges from 10 to 70% in 15 minutes at SuC. This is the way to go for road trips and otherwise we charge at home over night
Hello my friend could you help me with your experience l am buying first time tesla model y (damaged ones in iaai copart) and l want to know what type of exterior damage is considered dangerous and what types of damages can be mild ones thank you
If you can't charge at home (50% of the pop in America these days) think twice. Charging at superchargers is about the same as gas and because of the range, you will be going there once a week (at least)
Yep, in fact, I'd say it's costing just a bit more than gas, if you got a new one and are playing with all the gadgets, apps, and stuff like me right now ;D
I’ve searched MANY in-stock new and used Teslas and can’t find many with the white interior. I have no doubt that you’re right about them, especially with how they brighten up the interior.
Just fyi I read many owners of the white interior hate the terrible glare from the white strip on the dash. People are finding ways to change/cover it due to the awful glare. I also want white interior but worry about resale, most people prefer black.
In the inventory section you forgot to mention to ask the date of production of the car. I recently ordered a Model X 2024. While waiting, they offered me an X that was produced in October 2023 vs mine that finally arrived on March 26 2024. Three things: 1- the warranty would have been starting on October 2023 instead of March 26 2024, 2- There is sometimes significant physical improvements between several months, 3- You have to take the car as it is, meaning with the options and cost associated with it
I thought you had to buy FSD hardware for $10000-$12000 then also pay $99 or $200 per month for the software subscription for it to work. But this video makes it sound like it's only one or the other. It's clear @Tesla needs better marketing because it's a whole new kind of car and so many misconceptions are out there.
Thank you for your videos, I’m planning on buying a Tesla Model Y long range because I want smaller rims for the wheels so it’s a smoother ride and your videos are amazing for my research
You really just said that you want smaller rims for a smoother ride I can guarantee you that a 2" difference in wheel size isn't going to impact how smooth the vehicle rides at any level you would notice
The biggest achilles heel that I see constantly on Tesla's is the PCS module failing. This one module determines whether the battery can accept a charge at a certain amp. Many tesla owners think it is covered under the battery warranty but Tesla says that it isn't and costs almost $2,000 to replace not even including labor.
Thanks so much about the tip with the electric company. The one here in NC offers a great credit to install an EV charger. I didn’t even consider that. Great tips
Purchased my refreshed M3 LR stealth grey black interior two weeks ago!! 🎉🎉🎉 First EV. I absolutely love it, it is very fast, comfortable, quiet to name a few. Glad to be finally part of the Tesla family 😎👍🏻
I didn't realize how powerful the included Autopilot was until I drove my Model Y home. I use that on the highway and in town all the time. Definitely hard to justify $12k when the included is super nice.
hey Jermiah, I have a video idea, I was wondering if you could make a video about buying a used Tesla. I'm looking into buying a used model 3 since I want stalks lol.
I just bought one! I love it, 2 weeks ago. 2020, standard range plus, 46k miles on it . $22k used inventory on teslas site has some great deals right now! And I still have 4 years warranty on the battery, I highly recommend it!
Hertz is "dumping" 30,000 of their Tesla's. Some low miles and as cheap as $14k. What does Hertz know that you should know...don't buy an EV. The downside is limitless.
If you get a Ford Mustang Mach E, not only do you get a better (way better) looking interior (and exterior) but: usability and ergonomics of buttons and steering wheel controls are really easy to use, the FONT size on the Ford's large screen is readable for those who use reading glasses (not on Tesla!!) and you basically don't need these accessories ... ;)
First point about charging at home; Not everyone has a driveway, and many people live in apartments that do not have access to charging, therefore the only solution is public chargers. Guess what? They're slow on an already slow charge time, and fast chargers are mostly occupied so you charge at a reduced rate compounding charge time problems. Also I'd like to point out it's 5mins tops to fuel an ICE car and range doesn't drop to sht if you use the A/C or heater.
I live in an apartment & plan on charging at a Tesla supercharger only 15 minutes from my apartment.. my commute is short, don't plan on needing to charge more than once every 10 days..no more oil changes / no more dealership service ripping me off.. I'm so done with ICE 😂
Really appreciate your detailed explanation on the two videos that I have seen! Really help me with making an informed decision! Especially about waiting until the last quarter and the white interior!
FSD is the only reason to own a Tesla if you are in the market for an EV. If I told you you can have a chauffeur to drive you everywhere for 5+ years when you buy the car would you pay $8k? I would. I bought used from Tesla, and they 'throw in' FSD on some of their used cars. I got white seats, too. Love your content.
I was with you until the ambient lighting. Not only is that a waste of money, it can be dangerous. For optimal vision out in dark conditions, the darker the interior, the better. That idiot screen is already by far too large and complex, and at night is too bright if the light level is high enough to make it visible. I regularly drive on unlit roads at night. Darker inside is much safer. Ambient lighting hurts your night vision. The difference can be life or death, because without ambient lighting and with the dash lights low you may just be able to see, and so avoid, the moose that will come through your windshield and into your lap if you dont see it in time. If a moose lands in your lap, the moose may survive. You will not.
Good advice. It's all too expensive for me at the moment, but one day I'll buy one. I don't get the hype about FSD.Sure, it's amazing and clever, but I like driving. Why would I pay a shed load of money paying for something I prefer to do myself?
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family...
I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks.
@@MeirPamela Quitting may not be the best approach if you ask me. This is where an AI comes into the picture. I barely have time to trade myself as my job swallows up most of my time. *MARGARET MOLLI ALVEY* , a licensed fiduciary whom has made me over 5 figures in profit in less than seven months, handles my investments. I could leave you a lead if you need help.
A lot of these numbers are off now. FSD now $8k, or $99/mo. I bought a used Model Y with FSD. LOVE IT! Of course, it still is being updated but pretty amazing.
I have 2 EVs now and never ever thing about Range, me and wife driver about 110km eache day.. and both cars is about 80% every morning. so NO problems. and most of the year our solar charge alone on solar power from our house, so about 6-7mounth we Don´t pay any current.
The pricing has been adjusted. Subscribing is now $99/mo and full purchase is $8000. Enhanced AP has been axed. I really wish they had kept EAP around at $4000
This is my 2nd Tesla and my second black seats. I have never had one issue with seats being too hot, even on 100 degree days. That's probably because of the tinted glass. White seats blow.
I always find it interesting that people with black seats seem to justify their choice of seat when no one asks. People with white seats on the other hand never really say much, just that they like them.
Cloth seats should be an option as they are far easier to clean and you don't have to worry about the scalding hot seats period. The pleather is just a garbage upgrade.
A comment about buying a used Tesla at a higher price - in Turkey at the moment the basic Model Y tax-wise falls into the 10% Category, whereas buying Long Range and Performance you'd have to pay 80% (yes, not a typo, eighty freaking percent) over the official price. To make matters worse, just getting 20'' wheels will get your Rear-Drive version into that 80% range. So here it makes sense to buy a used one in that particular moment , because the inflation is crazy and you never know when all the Ys move to the "Eighty percent land" for good)). But that's just an exception, generally yeah, "New is always better", as "the only one rule" of Barney Stinson states😄
So much excellent information. When you do your next video on used evs try to focus on battery health and treatment as part of it. I think your car tracks the charge history. Just like a ice engine, treatment can make or break a supposedly good deal. For the accessories, to all buyers...be careful. The new 2024 model 3 is not compatable with a lot of it. The floor mats appear to be in that category. The app says not compatable...the website says otherwise. That goes for several accessories. Ordering the white seats is a must...totally agree.
Your observation about availability of charging stations is probably correct near urban areas. If you have ever driven coast to coast you are aware that it can be a very long distance between signs of civilization. The sparse population would not justify the cost of charging stations.
Disappointed on how long I am waiting for my new Tesla three. Finally stopped at the dealer in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and was told that the white interiors are very slow to come out. I ordered in late January, the app now says it might be July or August before I can pick up my new car.
You don't stay in Namibia where your distance between places is very far. On top of everything their is no ev infrastruction but some of us do have EV's. So yes we do care about range....
Hiya Jeremiah, great video- thanks. I heard that opting for the free paint colour when actually having a preference for a premium colour can often be regretted shortly after purchase.
I'm concerned about that here in GA as well. I see other EVs with the ventilated seats but they just don't compare to Tesla's strong tech hold. Tough call, guess I'll be sweating a lot lol. Do you feel the AC works well at making the cabin comfortable and if it's on constantly all summer how does that affect range? We get so many 90+ degree summer days, I'm def gonna need shades on the glass.
@jgore629 I don't know if it will cool down enough or not. The day I drove one here in Tucson, It was 105 out with clear skies. They are kept outside at the dealership. It never completely cooled off on my test drive. My back started to sweat as soon as I sat in the seat.
Great video Jeremiah, I am thinking about a Model Y since I will have a level 2 charger in my parking spot in the necxt couple of weeks the equipment was just ordered. I am glad you mentioned the difference between the Models regular and long range, for me the RQD will suite me fine, and white seats it is .
I really want white seats but the problem is I'm gonna drive taxi with it that's why I order black seats or is a still good idea to get white plz help 😢
I just bought my second model x. I find horn and turn signals to be unsafe because you must take your eyes off the road to use them. I hate how my reactive cruise control has been ruined. I have supervised full self driving which causes my cruise control to change lanes all the time to maintain the speed I have set. Yuck
My range is pretty accurate, and i tend to get what Battery Management System says i will get. Now i do have some degradation, but i'm still well over 320 miles for a full battery...
Thanks for the raw do's and dont's of Tesla ownership guy. Test drove the 2024 Model Y and am feeling it! What does the electric bill look like for a 12k per year hypothetical 220amp charge from home?
Buys Tesla on the website. Messages from Tesla: 1. if you don't complete the 12 steps soon your order will be cancel and lose the deposit and transport fee 2. Your car will be here in a week. *arrives next day. If you don't pick it up in 3 days, we will cancel your order 3. They make you sign for it without looking at it... and the battery is defective and doesn't charge past 30% or 60 miles.... ok under warranty right? 4. Your service appointment is in a MONTH!. That sums up my buying experience from Tesla a week ago. I'm still asking if I can bring the car in sooner and not getting a reply. They should've informed me of the issue and have it fixed prior to me transferring my plates. Now im limited to 60 miles. Great!
Great video, today software refresh included supervised self drive! I tried both the $200 per month and the one refreshed today, they are both the same
Another home run video from Jeremiah Jones. I swear, nobody creates more information-packed vids like Jones does. I'm not in the market for a Tesla, but if I was, I would be looking at ALL your videos.
Can you verify which is better for a mobile charger in garage setup between a 50amp with 8 gauge wire vs 60 amp and 6 gauge for nema 14-50 install? I couldn’t gather from your charger video which was preferred. Thank you! Your videos are amazing. Model 3 LR refresh delivery is next week!
6 guage wire / 60 amp breaker and a REAL Tesla Wall connector, stay away from the 14-50 unless you are in a RV park, and even then dial down the charge amperage to 32 so as to not trip their breaker and make bad will with the park for the next EV that pulls in.
Not so good for me, I paid $250 deposit on a model Y only to cancel due to price, I get on line 2 days later and see that they dropped the price on the car $1800, sooo, I paid another $250 deposit to secure a car and very foolishly thought my trade value would stay the same, WRONG, they dropped the value of my car $1500 in two days, nothing changed, no extra miles, nothing. I understand market value but the minute I got the smack down on me, I did an online estimate on trade in value at Tesla and for some reason, the value was actually higher than my original trade value, $1600 higher than what they were offering in the final documentation, these games they play, I'll never deal with them again... **EDIT** After contacting them, and telling them what I thought, they raised the price of my trade to more than what the original was, so I'm happy now. I am not finalized yet but I'm still not seeing the $7500 tax credit coming off anywhere in the figures, I qualify for it, I hope it drops off at the end, can't take anything for granted it seems.
Are they doing the tax credits at point of sale? I'm wanting to get a used one and some of them are under 25k so I am hoping they will do the 4k credit at POS.
@@jgore629 I'm unaware of the $4k tax credit but I did get the $7500 tax credit at POS, not sure how it works when buying used, maybe look at govt tax credits to see if anything is available, sorry I couldn't help more.
Another mistake. Don't buy the black or dark gray color Teska. Why? According to a report by Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) in Victoria Australia, black colored cars have a higher percentage of car crashes at night due to their low visibility. The study examined the police reports of 855,258 car crashes that happened in Australia between 1987-2004. The data were taken from Victoria and Western Australia because these are the only two Australian states that include vehicle color in their crash reports. The study found that when driving a black car at night, you are 47% more likely to get involved in a car accident. 12% more likely during the day. Black wheels, black tinted windows and blacked out chrome only make matters worse. A white car is the safest color. Followed by light colored cars such as light blue, light green etc. For your safety, never buy a black colored car.
Biggest mistake is buying a refresh 3 with no stalks for turn nor driving, no rear middle heated seat, no fog lights, not much improvement in noise cancellation, no chrome finish nor piano black interior and no multi coat red paint. Honestly I hope Tesla puts out here back. Because I’m not seeing many 3 refresh models at all. They’re all mostly the older classic look and have more things vs refresh 3 which has less things for same cost

Hi! Where can I find your checklist for picking up your new Tesla???
Thank You
I’m planning to get black seats with my Model Y since I prefer a darker interior and don’t want sunlight reflecting all around my car and into my face. I don’t care if it doesn’t look “cool” or “iconic” or if it’s “not a real tesla” it’s beautiful to me and that’s all that matters. As long as it’s the same material then I prefer black.
My husband recently got the gray model Y with black seats and he’s happy with it, we drove to Vegas from Southern California and had plenty of charging stations. Plan of getting one myself when the new model Y come out.
@@daphneheart Nice, I plan to get the current Y since I like the look of the front headlights and wood trim interior more than the new one and prefer using stalks for the turn signals.
Always Bet on *Black.*

@@larky368Geez, just say “I’ma hater and I can’t afford a Tesla”🙄
@@blackdonte24you’d be surprised. I just bought a 2024 model y at a 0%apr and I’m paying less monthly than I did for my brand new Malibu Premium.
I’ve had a standard range model X for five years, I’ve driven it from Southern California to Oregon about eight times. There are way more chargers nowadays than you even need. Range is not an issue. Don’t be scared of standard range - it’s a way better deal!
I just bought a new 2024 MY performance, and with the tax credit and 1.99% apr I'm gonna pay $640 a month.

What's your credit around? Cause Mines a 600, but don't want to pay the now 500 it costs to even apply@@vc2368
This was great. The white seats is huge! Wouldn’t have gotten them for those exact reasons. Thank you!
The FSD now costs $8,000 and subscription price is $100. By the way, apart from lane change, it also allows automatic parking.
Worth noting that the Model 3 owners' manual states: "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." ... bottom line: they have a way to deny warranty coverage for any screen malfunction.

I bought my 2019 Model 3 Standard Range + new and have driven it 45,000 miles. Biggest mistake - by far - was not buying the long range model. Huge mistake. I have very little battery degradation, rarely charge above 80%, and have a level 2 charger at home. But, if I charge to 80% and drive the 155 mile round trip from San Francisco to Santa Cruz I can barely make it home. So I charge to 85% and can drive 155 miles and bring it down to about 7-8%. The effective highway range is 155 miles. A huge huge hassle for longer trips! LA is a pain, Palm Springs nearly impossible. Tahoe.. no go. Seattle LOL.. forget it. Always buy the long range. Everything else is optional.
Why not just charge to 100% when you make those trips. It’s really keeping it at 100% for a long time that does the damage.
@@kungfoochicken08@kungfoochicken08 I have two standard road trips: skiing 300 miles through mountains back and forth and a 360-mile round-trip highway. Even the long-range Model 3 can only make these trips with a charging. Cold multiplied by speed does the trick. I value my time and use a Hybrid car. Since superchargers consume time and are more expensive than gas.
@@philipp4631 Is there a Supercharger on that route? A 300 mile trip would require a 10 minute stop at a Supercharger. They’re usually well place right off the highway.
The time you “waste” on roadtrips is more than made up in the time you save by not going to gas stations during regular driving. I plug in at night and wake up to a full battery every morning.
I say “waste” because I don’t really stop more often on road trips. I have young kids and a wife, so I have to stop every 2-3 hours anyway.
Yep constant running in for food, bathroom, dog walks, etc. always stop at Buckies and the have a supercharger.
@@kungfoochicken08 from research.. what really damages the battery is the regen at 100% battery. Because the excess power has nowhere to go
I commute 97 miles one way. I have long range Y. Only way I make it home is about 80% down to 15-10%. Charges by the morning. $5. Can't beat that.
What about snowy winters or dry dark clear winter skies with very low frost temps? On snow tires. Curious, I have an Opel, 50kW (Stellantis European), super compact - yet to go into the winter. Netherlands.
@@nas4apps First year owning it. Winter is 2 months away. I'll update you then!
The other day I choose to drive with economy in mind. Stay at 70mph etc. That being said I left w/ 80% and arrived home at night around 27%. I have to cross to mountain passes which suck battery out (same for gas cars) and choose to slow down for regen breaking. Gained miles by the end. Consumed a a heck ton less than expected.
@@Nazz-b7p Appreciated!
@@Nazz-b7p Thanks!
@@Nazz-b7p Driving over hills and mountains is one of the most rewarding aspects of using an EV.
I strongly recommend the wall connector for charging. I think it's far safer too. I installed my own (with permits/inspections) and I recommend 4 gauge wire from the breaker box. If you install a NEMA 14-50 connector, please use an industrial quality NEMA 14-50 outlet. Cheap outlets can cause a fire as I hear.
I'm glad I received my 1-month FSD trial on my 2019 M3: Now I know for sure that I personally do *not* need FSD! Autopilot works just fine for me.
Our family owns 4 Teslas. We have been driving Tesla since 2013. In the beginning we went for the 85 kW battery nowadays we go for charging speed. So we have a Model Y Berlin made with BYD blade batteries that charges from 10 to 70% in 15 minutes at SuC. This is the way to go for road trips and otherwise we charge at home over night
Hello my friend could you help me with your experience l am buying first time tesla model y (damaged ones in iaai copart) and l want to know what type of exterior damage is considered dangerous and what types of damages can be mild ones thank you
If you can't charge at home (50% of the pop in America these days) think twice. Charging at superchargers is about the same as gas and because of the range, you will be going there once a week (at least)
If your job has a charger you can just connect an adapter
In the Houston Texas area we have alot of stores with free charging takes about 30 minutes to an hour to charge for free
Yep, in fact, I'd say it's costing just a bit more than gas, if you got a new one and are playing with all the gadgets, apps, and stuff like me right now ;D
I’ve searched MANY in-stock new and used Teslas and can’t find many with the white interior. I have no doubt that you’re right about them, especially with how they brighten up the interior.
Just fyi I read many owners of the white interior hate the terrible glare from the white strip on the dash. People are finding ways to change/cover it due to the awful glare. I also want white interior but worry about resale, most people prefer black.
@@jgore629Not me, Black is Bland. We need choices.
We live remote country. We do use close to our battery. Weve never ran out but occasionally were close. We depend on the range the car gives us.
Buying the AutopilotFSD is the biggest mistake.
My weekly commute to work is 100 mile round trip no I don’t have a place to charge at home. I definitely need the long range version.
In the inventory section you forgot to mention to ask the date of production of the car. I recently ordered a Model X 2024. While waiting, they offered me an X that was produced in October 2023 vs mine that finally arrived on March 26 2024. Three things: 1- the warranty would have been starting on October 2023 instead of March 26 2024, 2- There is sometimes significant physical improvements between several months, 3- You have to take the car as it is, meaning with the options and cost associated with it
White seats project your image in the car, sometimes I don't want to be seen, I like the stealth of the black seats.
I thought you had to buy FSD hardware for $10000-$12000 then also pay $99 or $200 per month for the software subscription for it to work. But this video makes it sound like it's only one or the other. It's clear @Tesla needs better marketing because it's a whole new kind of car and so many misconceptions are out there.
Thank you for your videos, I’m planning on buying a Tesla Model Y long range because I want smaller rims for the wheels so it’s a smoother ride and your videos are amazing for my research
You really just said that you want smaller rims for a smoother ride I can guarantee you that a 2" difference in wheel size isn't going to impact how smooth the vehicle rides at any level you would notice
The biggest achilles heel that I see constantly on Tesla's is the PCS module failing. This one module determines whether the battery can accept a charge at a certain amp. Many tesla owners think it is covered under the battery warranty but Tesla says that it isn't and costs almost $2,000 to replace not even including labor.
🙂Greetings!
🤔Achilles tendon!
🕊🌄Have a beautifully blessed day!
Thanks so much about the tip with the electric company. The one here in NC offers a great credit to install an EV charger. I didn’t even consider that. Great tips
Purchased my refreshed M3 LR stealth grey black interior two weeks ago!! 🎉🎉🎉 First EV. I absolutely love it, it is very fast, comfortable, quiet to name a few. Glad to be finally part of the Tesla family 😎👍🏻
Welcome to the Tesla Family!! M3P here. Glad you love your Tesla. If you are like me, you will never ever go back to ICE vehicles again. Cheers.
I own a Chevy bolt and I am also N.G.B to ice vehicles.
If you buy a NEMA14-50 make sure it's a quality one!!!! There have been many reports of these wall connectors catching fire and/or melting.
I didn't realize how powerful the included Autopilot was until I drove my Model Y home. I use that on the highway and in town all the time. Definitely hard to justify $12k when the included is super nice.
Agree entirely. Once you get in the swing of operating an EV range is rarely if ever an issue.
I love my wife's white seats. I'll have to see how well it resist heat in the summer but for now I have roof shades. Subscribed.
hey Jermiah, I have a video idea, I was wondering if you could make a video about buying a used Tesla. I'm looking into buying a used model 3 since I want stalks lol.
I just bought one! I love it, 2 weeks ago. 2020, standard range plus, 46k miles on it . $22k used inventory on teslas site has some great deals right now! And I still have 4 years warranty on the battery, I highly recommend it!
Hertz is "dumping" 30,000 of their Tesla's. Some low miles and as cheap as $14k. What does Hertz know that you should know...don't buy an EV. The downside is limitless.
Don't worry about the stalks. Getting use to the push button happens within a few days. I no longer am reaching for phantom stalks.
Not using a referral BEFORE placing your order!
haha didn't wanna come off as begging for people to use my referral but definitely agree
Or planning on using one and messing up; now it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get them to put it on before taking delivery
Made this mistake 😔
If you have owned a Tesla or currently own a Tessie, isn't it irrelevant to use a referral code??
Unfortunately, the referral program ended on April 30th 2024.
If you get a Ford Mustang Mach E, not only do you get a better (way better) looking interior (and exterior) but: usability and ergonomics of buttons and steering wheel controls are really easy to use, the FONT size on the Ford's large screen is readable for those who use reading glasses (not on Tesla!!) and you basically don't need these accessories ... ;)
First point about charging at home; Not everyone has a driveway, and many people live in apartments that do not have access to charging, therefore the only solution is public chargers. Guess what? They're slow on an already slow charge time, and fast chargers are mostly occupied so you charge at a reduced rate compounding charge time problems. Also I'd like to point out it's 5mins tops to fuel an ICE car and range doesn't drop to sht if you use the A/C or heater.
I live in an apartment & plan on charging at a Tesla supercharger only 15 minutes from my apartment.. my commute is short, don't plan on needing to charge more than once every 10 days..no more oil changes / no more dealership service ripping me off.. I'm so done with ICE 😂
So cranking the a/c doesn’t affect your outdated gas guzzler? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another tip: it helps to get a referral from an existing Tesla customer, they get a benefits and you get a discount or other incentive.
they discontinued the referral program 2 months ago
@@Coder1020

@@MichaelLloydMobile no problem, i wish they didn’t discountinue it

We had our Tesla Model Y for a year now. No problems aside from punctured tires which we cannot control. Overall my Tesla Car has been great
Really appreciate your detailed explanation on the two videos that I have seen! Really help me with making an informed decision! Especially about waiting until the last quarter and the white interior!
FSD is the only reason to own a Tesla if you are in the market for an EV. If I told you you can have a chauffeur to drive you everywhere for 5+ years when you buy the car would you pay $8k? I would.
I bought used from Tesla, and they 'throw in' FSD on some of their used cars. I got white seats, too.
Love your content.
I was with you until the ambient lighting. Not only is that a waste of money, it can be dangerous. For optimal vision out in dark conditions, the darker the interior, the better. That idiot screen is already by far too large and complex, and at night is too bright if the light level is high enough to make it visible. I regularly drive on unlit roads at night. Darker inside is much safer. Ambient lighting hurts your night vision. The difference can be life or death, because without ambient lighting and with the dash lights low you may just be able to see, and so avoid, the moose that will come through your windshield and into your lap if you dont see it in time. If a moose lands in your lap, the moose may survive. You will not.
Boomer
You should turn your headlights off too, it hurts your night vision.
What if you live in an apartment complex that does not supply your own charging you still have to use a supercharger what happens then
Good advice. It's all too expensive for me at the moment, but one day I'll buy one. I don't get the hype about FSD.Sure, it's amazing and clever, but I like driving. Why would I pay a shed load of money paying for something I prefer to do myself?
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family...
I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks.

Don’t worry about range! But buy this specific brand of floor mat cause they are light weight so you get better range!….😂 come on man!
LOL. I use paper towels in my 2016 MS and it helps hahahaha
You didn't recommend the wheel size. I've always felt the wheel size is a important thing that you would want to chose in ordering a new car.
Long range is BETTER. dont skimp on that. 340 mi is better than 270. You can still limit battery cap, the extra range = double lifetime.
A lot of these numbers are off now. FSD now $8k, or $99/mo. I bought a used Model Y with FSD. LOVE IT! Of course, it still is being updated but pretty amazing.
I have 2 EVs now and never ever thing about Range, me and wife driver about 110km eache day.. and both cars is about 80% every morning. so NO problems. and most of the year our solar charge alone on solar power from our house, so about 6-7mounth we Don´t pay any current.
The pricing has been adjusted. Subscribing is now $99/mo and full purchase is $8000. Enhanced AP has been axed. I really wish they had kept EAP around at $4000
Many people live in apartments and don't have access to a charger at home or at work.
This is my 2nd Tesla and my second black seats. I have never had one issue with seats being too hot, even on 100 degree days. That's probably because of the tinted glass. White seats blow.
I always find it interesting that people with black seats seem to justify their choice of seat when no one asks. People with white seats on the other hand never really say much, just that they like them.
@@JremiahJones You literally said that the black seats can get too hot on hot days? Hes saying he doesn't run into that issue
@@JremiahJones why ya gotta bring race into this 😂
Love my white interior. My Model Y is 3 years old and still look like new.
The inventory deals are so great, never knew those existed. Thank you so much for sharing this
Cloth seats should be an option as they are far easier to clean and you don't have to worry about the scalding hot seats period. The pleather is just a garbage upgrade.
Since when has cloth seats ever been easier to clean than leather? Are you being sarcastic lol
A comment about buying a used Tesla at a higher price - in Turkey at the moment the basic Model Y tax-wise falls into the 10% Category, whereas buying Long Range and Performance you'd have to pay 80% (yes, not a typo, eighty freaking percent) over the official price. To make matters worse, just getting 20'' wheels will get your Rear-Drive version into that 80% range. So here it makes sense to buy a used one in that particular moment , because the inflation is crazy and you never know when all the Ys move to the "Eighty percent land" for good)). But that's just an exception, generally yeah, "New is always better", as "the only one rule" of Barney Stinson states😄

Hey, Jeremiah. I'm looking for the delivery checklist. May I know where I can find it on your channel, please?
You have to pay him for it
What can you say about insurance ?
Thanks
My Model 3 LR costs more than a '20 BMW X1 and less than a '18 Porsche Cayman GTS. All same insurance company and market.
So much excellent information. When you do your next video on used evs try to focus on battery health and treatment as part of it. I think your car tracks the charge history. Just like a ice engine, treatment can make or break a supposedly good deal.
For the accessories, to all buyers...be careful. The new 2024 model 3 is not compatable with a lot of it. The floor mats appear to be in that category. The app says not compatable...the website says otherwise. That goes for several accessories.
Ordering the white seats is a must...totally agree.
Your observation about availability of charging stations is probably correct near urban areas. If you have ever driven coast to coast you are aware that it can be a very long distance between signs of civilization. The sparse population would not justify the cost of charging stations.
Disappointed on how long I am waiting for my new Tesla three. Finally stopped at the dealer in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and was told that the white interiors are very slow to come out. I ordered in late January, the app now says it might be July or August before I can pick up my new car.
You don't stay in Namibia where your distance between places is very far. On top of everything their is no ev infrastruction but some of us do have EV's. So yes we do care about range....
Hiya Jeremiah, great video- thanks. I heard that opting for the free paint colour when actually having a preference for a premium colour can often be regretted shortly after purchase.
Nice recommendations! Thank you. Especially about the seats…
I’m waiting for the ventilated seats in the model y. The vegan vinyl seats are too hot in the summer here in southern Arizona.
I'm concerned about that here in GA as well. I see other EVs with the ventilated seats but they just don't compare to Tesla's strong tech hold. Tough call, guess I'll be sweating a lot lol. Do you feel the AC works well at making the cabin comfortable and if it's on constantly all summer how does that affect range? We get so many 90+ degree summer days, I'm def gonna need shades on the glass.
@jgore629 I don't know if it will cool down enough or not. The day I drove one here in Tucson, It was 105 out with clear skies. They are kept outside at the dealership. It never completely cooled off on my test drive. My back started to sweat as soon as I sat in the seat.
@@JohnSmith-uz3dtSo basically you don’t own one…copy that!!😂😂😂
Great video Jeremiah, I am thinking about a Model Y since I will have a level 2 charger in my parking spot in the necxt couple of weeks the equipment was just ordered. I am glad you mentioned the difference between the Models regular and long range, for me the RQD will suite me fine, and white seats it is .
A checklist?! You’re too good.
I really want white seats but the problem is I'm gonna drive taxi with it that's why I order black seats or is a still good idea to get white plz help 😢
Assalam aleikum If they can put the driver seat 💺 white then the other three black it will be cool 😎
@@idrisdhannuun754 walykum asalam
I just bought my second model x. I find horn and turn signals to be unsafe because you must take your eyes off the road to use them. I hate how my reactive cruise control has been ruined. I have supervised full self driving which causes my cruise control to change lanes all the time to maintain the speed I have set. Yuck
Agree. I had a trial and the lane changing thing made me turn it off.
My range is pretty accurate, and i tend to get what Battery Management System says i will get. Now i do have some degradation, but i'm still well over 320 miles for a full battery...
Do you pay the extra monthly maintenance on the new Tesla ordered?
Hey Jeremiah, I thank you greatly for your excellent review...and advice offered.
Yeah I just paid $300 +70 for materials for Universal wall connector install!
That 40-50 miles could be a saver driving in the winter
How about 2 Tesla with only one charger? That 50 miles does matter
100% agree about the white seats ⚡️😎
I've bullied all my friends into getting white seats
We just bought a Model Y 2024 and do excited and thank you we will be bring that check lift with us!😃☑️
Thanks for the raw do's and dont's of Tesla ownership guy. Test drove the 2024 Model Y and am feeling it! What does the electric bill look like for a 12k per year hypothetical 220amp charge from home?
I always thought you had to pay $12,000 up front PLUS the monthly subscription for FSD. Nice to know it's only one or the other.
Thank you for your videos. Extremely beneficial for someone like myself planning a purchase
what was your range after installing the Cross Climate 2s?
White seats are nice buy my OCD would drive me nuts.
There’s big difference between, fsd, and partial auto pilot, I rather have fsd.
Where do I find the delivery inspection check list?
Can you send me the link for the delivery checklist?
Could you put the link to the charging video?
Buys Tesla on the website.
Messages from Tesla:
1. if you don't complete the 12 steps soon your order will be cancel and lose the deposit and transport fee
2. Your car will be here in a week. *arrives next day. If you don't pick it up in 3 days, we will cancel your order
3. They make you sign for it without looking at it... and the battery is defective and doesn't charge past 30% or 60 miles.... ok under warranty right?
4. Your service appointment is in a MONTH!.
That sums up my buying experience from Tesla a week ago. I'm still asking if I can bring the car in sooner and not getting a reply.
They should've informed me of the issue and have it fixed prior to me transferring my plates. Now im limited to 60 miles. Great!
i regret about the white seats even before dthe delivery. 😭
Gonna pick up tomorrow .
I thought the same..."it will be hard to clean".
tbh just cancel and redo
Great video, today software refresh included supervised self drive! I tried both the $200 per month and the one refreshed today, they are both the same
do you hear humming noise inside tesla model 3 highland cabin when parked?
6:16 learned so much from this, great video!
Another home run video from Jeremiah Jones. I swear, nobody creates more information-packed vids like Jones does.
I'm not in the market for a Tesla, but if I was, I would be looking at ALL your videos.
Can you verify which is better for a mobile charger in garage setup between a 50amp with 8 gauge wire vs 60 amp and 6 gauge for nema 14-50 install? I couldn’t gather from your charger video which was preferred. Thank you! Your videos are amazing. Model 3 LR refresh delivery is next week!
6 guage wire / 60 amp breaker and a REAL Tesla Wall connector, stay away from the 14-50 unless you are in a RV park, and even then dial down the charge amperage to 32 so as to not trip their breaker and make bad will with the park for the next EV that pulls in.
Not so good for me, I paid $250 deposit on a model Y only to cancel due to price, I get on line 2 days later and see that they dropped the price on the car $1800, sooo, I paid another $250 deposit to secure a car and very foolishly thought my trade value would stay the same, WRONG, they dropped the value of my car $1500 in two days, nothing changed, no extra miles, nothing. I understand market value but the minute I got the smack down on me, I did an online estimate on trade in value at Tesla and for some reason, the value was actually higher than my original trade value, $1600 higher than what they were offering in the final documentation, these games they play, I'll never deal with them again...
**EDIT** After contacting them, and telling them what I thought, they raised the price of my trade to more than what the original was, so I'm happy now. I am not finalized yet but I'm still not seeing the $7500 tax credit coming off anywhere in the figures, I qualify for it, I hope it drops off at the end, can't take anything for granted it seems.
Are they doing the tax credits at point of sale? I'm wanting to get a used one and some of them are under 25k so I am hoping they will do the 4k credit at POS.
@@jgore629
I'm unaware of the $4k tax credit but I did get the $7500 tax credit at POS, not sure how it works when buying used, maybe look at govt tax credits to see if anything is available, sorry I couldn't help more.
The FSD prices is updated btw, it’s 8K now or $100 a month
6:39 Do all new Tesla vehicles have the hardware to try out FSD beta? Or it's a separate hardware upgrade you need to get?
Not an easy buying process when doing a trade in. I would recommend avoiding at all costs.
Another mistake. Don't buy the black or dark gray color Teska. Why?
According to a report by Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) in Victoria Australia, black colored cars have a higher percentage of car crashes at night due to their low visibility.
The study examined the police reports of 855,258 car crashes that happened in Australia between 1987-2004. The data were taken from Victoria and Western Australia because these are the only two Australian states that include vehicle color in their crash reports.
The study found that when driving a black car at night, you are 47% more likely to get involved in a car accident. 12% more likely during the day.
Black wheels, black tinted windows and blacked out chrome only make matters worse.
A white car is the safest color. Followed by light colored cars such as light blue, light green etc.
For your safety, never buy a black colored car.
If I buy a used Tesla do you think Tesla will change the seats into white if I pay?
Get em from a vehicle dismantler ... can't be too hard to swap out
Biggest mistake is buying a refresh 3 with no stalks for turn nor driving, no rear middle heated seat, no fog lights, not much improvement in noise cancellation, no chrome finish nor piano black interior and no multi coat red paint. Honestly I hope Tesla puts out here back. Because I’m not seeing many 3 refresh models at all. They’re all mostly the older classic look and have more things vs refresh 3 which has less things for same cost
