That was a great video. I got a 2024 Model 3 RWD two weeks ago and I absolutely love the car and have had no issues with it yet. Owning a Tesla definitely makes it hard to want to drive a gas car again.
I think the biggest pro, is the fact Tesla has the largest public charging network. I use to own a KIA EV6, it was headache to find a charger for it. Those charges mostly came in only pairs, broken, poorly maintained or vandalized. That lasted two monks, I just purchased a Model Y long range.
Hi Salinya, Great video. My wife and I are planning to buy a new Model Y in December. Tired of the gas prices in California. Thanks for being so helpful!
Salinya, think about getting your front bumper PPF (Paint Protection Film). I got my Tesla done here in Cali for $400 and I have zero rock chips on my front bumper after 3 months of ownership. Looking forward to your future content. 🙌
I picked up my refreshed M3 LR in stealth grey black interior in March first EV. I absolutely love this car. It literally puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I love the acceleration it's ridiculously fast, it's comfortable , it's quiet with no squeaks rattles or creaks. I love having no stalks, ambient lighting and cooled seats are awesome especially in this heat of Phoenix. I love the tech and minimalism they are fantastic. Software updates are awesome too. I am only getting Tesla, car is so much fun. Congrats🎉 on your car. I agree with you about the customer service 😂😂 they are really hard to get a hold of and several times they never got back to me but I knew what I was getting myself into as my dad has a Tesla but I still love the car despite the " quirks " Oh and the day I picked up my car it was very underwhelming !!! I just bought a 50,000 plus car and literally no one even came up and asked if I needed help 🤔🤔 for several minutes. Then I didn't even get a paper with my name on it on the dash , no one really congratulated me , there was no excitement it was just another day at the Tesla showroom it felt like. Disappointing but still love my car. Phoenix AZ
One of the greatest Tesla pros is their highway charging network experience. When doing 90% of our charging at home, all EVs provide the same charging experience. But try taking an EV6 and a Tesla MY on a highway trip and the Hyundai will quickly provide an excruciating one way trip to hell. Finding working chargers, waiting at a two charger facility to finally get a chance to charge. Tesla clearly shows how their investment in Superchargers has paid off. Thanks for another great video.
I’m at 2 months ownership One of biggest cons for me is a lack of a spare emergency tire. But you can order one online. But still lol. And of course the biggest pro is not buying gas. Double pro if you have a level 2 charger at home.
I've had the Model Y LR for 1 month. My biggest issues right now: #1: wipers in auto mode are sub-par. #2: It's ridiculous that the Model Y doesn't come standard with homelink for garage/gate door openers. Yes, I know about the $350 purchase or the MyQ purchase/subscription.
For the miles, they just recently sent out an offer to pay for more mileage. It’s called energy boost and should you be in your upgrades in the app. It’s $1600 for 50 more miles of range… bringing it basically the same price of the Long Range if not cheaper.
Hi Salinya, your observations are right on! I got my Y/LR April last year and love it. But as you said that flat front is a bug magnet. If I had known, I would not have gotten a white Tesla and opted for a dark color. BTW, in NY last year, I could bring a check when I picked up the car--but it had to be 1 check (not 2 that added to the right amount, so I had to move $$ all into 1 account). It might have changed since, of course.
Mine are on auto on my m3 and they work great. You can also do a voice command for the wipers or press the left side button on the wheel and choose wipers and then the setting.
My boyfriend and I both have Tesla's and our wipers do not work on auto. I am so glad yours do. I will definitely use the voice command for them next time instead of having to tap on my screen. Thanks so much! 😊
@@beingsalinya wow that’s crazy. I’m sorry. But, yeah the voice commands come in so handy. I have had my car over a year and still learn new stuff. You can tell it to search something on google and it will bring that up in the browser. Or tell it to turn on the dome lights and the interior lights will turn on. You can say your hands are cold and it will turn on your heated steering wheel.
@@beingsalinya of course you are very welcome. And also with the fireplace feature if you tap the screen it will play r&b music lol. I did that and it played Marvin Gaye haha.
My understanding is that this is a philosophical issue with Tesla engineering. Instead of using tried and true sensors to determine when to turn on the wipers and the speed, Tesla decided to use CAMERAS to make that determination and that's why we experience this frustration. I've also had my wipers just randomly come on when it's definitely not raining!
hey girl, loved the video...I got the same induction wheel standard range model Y. i do agree on wishing to buy LR, but the price difference wasnt worth it.
I totally agree! I thought the standard would be enough, but I am realizing I am charging a lot more than I originally thought I would have to. All in all the price difference wasn't worth it to me. Thanks for watching! ☺️
Not sure what you mean by Tesla number and prompts? The best way I got a hold of Tesla was contacting my local service center and they provided me information.
It seemed much harder for me to contact someone. I was told to text a number and they would eventually call me. I am glad it has been easier for you though!
I love seeing Tesla videos. I plan on purchasing next year when we return to the States. I want a MYLR in quicksilver. I did want the white before you shared about the bugs. My biggest worry is what month to order and when will it be delivered. I'm returning to the States in July. I've never driven a Tesla.
Another con which isn’t so much Tesla, but being in Texas, is the $200/yr extra registration fee because we don’t pay gas taxes. I think that’s kind of an expensive up charge for owning an ev. I just got my MY LR & I was hit with a $400 fee added to the registration fees. 🤔
Same boat, I love my truck and hesitant to switch. But I definitely would be saving more than half the cost on fuel. Throwing my Milwaukee packout setup in the back and purchasing telescopic ladder doesn’t seem to crazy
Snoh aalegra come through 😂 are you gonna get PPF? Also how you surviving out Tx heat with no sun roof cover. Also in Texas do we have to add the front license plate or is Tesla exempt? did it come with tent? I’m sorry I’m asking all these questions. I’m really considering getting a Tesla.
@@tarnesh88 now you know the vibes are vibing when Snoh is played in the car. ♥️ no need to apologize for the questions that’s what I’m here for. 😊 I do plan on getting the PPF for my car because of the risk I put my car at due to long distance driving. I seem to be doing fine without a sun roof cover so far. I don’t get too warm in the car not having it. I believe you adore supposed to have a front license plate but it will be good to check on that. Also the slight tint on the car came with it but lots of people get their car tinted on their own for darker windows in the front. Hope this helped and I hope you get a Tesla. 🥳
We are supposed to have a front plate in Texas but I haven’t ever put one on any of my vehicles. Also the back three windows is just dark glass, it’s not actually tinted but I got all my windows tinted except the roof and windshield. With this heat it’s well worth it.
I hear that all the time. If you drive in a reasonable manner, you will not wear your tires out any faster than an ice vehicle. We have three EV’s and we know this for a fact. So people spread the rhetoric all they want.
I'm in San Antonio and I travelled to Austin to get the car earlier. I could have waited until one was delivered in San Antonio, but I was impatient. When I purchased an Audi several years ago, the car that I wanted was also in Austin and Audi delivered it in San Antonio for me. Tesla didn't even make that offer and I suspect that it might not have been "free" anyway. I also thought that the pick-up experience wasn't as good as it could have been.
Hi there. That was definitely not the intention of this video at all. The video was more for research purposes in case someone was interested in a Tesla. These are my personal cons and all things in life have pros AND cons.. I just listed them in the video to help others. I hope this clarifies some things. You can see in the video I don’t regret my purchase. Take care.🙂
I do regret, regret that i didn’t get it earlier.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope you and your wife love your model Y. 🙂

Thanks so much for the recommendation. I will definitely look into it! 😊
Where did you get it done at?
@@beingsalinya PPF will cost you a couple grand just to do the front, a total PPF wrap will be around $6k. Tesla paint is notoriously cheesy.

I use my old school remote, problem solved.
@@johnnyquid-xj4kkYeah that’s what I ended up doing.
They actually have it for sale on their site as an upcharge lol. shop.tesla.com/product/model-3_y-automatic-garage-opener

I would definitely do a test drive before you order. It’s such a big purchase and the test drive is so easy. 🙂 hope this helps. 🤍
@@beingsalinya Thanks, I will.

@@realbro5548 something I didn’t even realize when I purchase my vehicle until a few week ago. I went back and looked and I had it too.
Con: if you just use a super charger all the time that ends up adding up to paying for gas or probably more
That depends on where you live.
Would you recommend being a handyman and owning a Tesla model Y? I currently have a truck, but it would be a big adjustment going to a model Y..
Just solely my opinion, but Tesla's seem very computer based and I would just leave it to the Tesla professionals!
Same boat, I love my truck and hesitant to switch. But I definitely would be saving more than half the cost on fuel. Throwing my Milwaukee packout setup in the back and purchasing telescopic ladder doesn’t seem to crazy
My worked just fine on auto
My bank sent the check to Teslas location in Cali. And I was for it because I don’t want that responsibility 😂.
@@chriso1523 the second bank I ended up going with did the same thing!! I was so relieved once that happened.
GREAT but don't speak too soon. You will regret it once the new one comes out next year and u see all the new features and mileage for the same price
You're probably not wrong lol.
I’ve had mine model 3 for 3 years what pissed me of the most is when someone side swiped my car it didn’t save the footage … SMH
Oh no! That’s awful. So sorry to hear that.
Literally the same name as mine! 😊
Oh how funny! Such a perfect name. 🥳

Great info thanks
Also, the fast acceleration and the weight of the batteries will mean that we will be replacing tires at a faster clip....

The beauty of the cons is you can always back out and get something else. I’d rather do that than complain. You sound awfully entitled.
