Just bought a used 2021 M3SR+ last Friday. It was a rental with 40K miles and is immaculate. Literally no issues, with not even a scratch inside nor outside. The car was practically factory fresh. The best part was I snagged it for 29.5 likely due to the high miles to car age ratio. Absolutely adore the thing - midnight silver and named her Stormbreaker.
Love to hear shit like this, nice!!
?? Are you traing to flex??
Congrats as for the 40K miles being high, I say that is low. I have October build 2021 Model Y with 58k.
no point, you can get it new for 39k, 7500 tax credit on new tesla's means the cost is 31,500 for a brand new one
Tesla website is selling M3SR for as low as $36,600, + federal $7,500 plus my state tax rebate $3,500. Make buying new with 4 year warranty a no brainer. I just don’t like taking loans to save the earth.
Sure, when we got my wife's 2019 Tesla Model 3, we had to take it into the shop a couple times to get some tiny fit and finish things fixed, but now it has almost 100,000 miles on it and we haven't had to take it in for anything since. If it were a gas car, we would have had to take it in for 20 oil changes by now, multiple smog checks, change the brake pads, change the timing belt, transmission work, etc.
My parents and my close friend just bought new Model Y's a couple months ago. One from Fremont and one from Austin. Both were absolutely perfect.
@Tailosive EV That's because people only make videos when there are issues. Do a poll on your channel. Prove me wrong.
You should run a poll to see how many of your viewers had issues on their new Teslas in the last 6 months.
It sounds like a Tesla which has been owned for a few years might be a better option - the first owner will have had all the defects fixed by Tesla, so you don't have to worry about it.
it's not so much the weight of the car that wears the tires as the acceleration that tears them up fast
In 2020 I bought a 2013 P85+ for $29k, best decision ever, the car has been flawless
Great information here. I’m highly considering buying used for the price savings but had multiple questions that this video has answered. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
I leased a 2023 Model 3 standard range. My plan is to buy a used same gen Model 3 when this lease expires (can’t buy the lease out of course.) I’ll have accessories that fit it, already have the Wall Charger installed, already have the mobile connector, etc. I’ll know by then what I should be looking for as far as range, hopefully it has a Recurrent Auto report on the battery, etc. White seats are big on my want list. Sat in the black seat on a sunny day… quickly learned that letting your skin touch the black seat is a BAD IDEA on a hot sunny day! Seems the white paint holds up better too. But then again a Model Y with a tow hitch would be nice… I’ll have bought ten different configurations in my mind before then, lol! Best cult I’ve ever been in! 😂
This question will need to be revisited once the project highland cars start rolling out in a few months.
In my book, there are two reasons to really go with a used Tesla... One is to get FSD at a reasonable price, two is to get transferrable free supercharging... Good luck trying to find both! They're out there, but they're tough to hunt down...
What do you mean by transferable free supercharging?
Wasn't the free supercharging specifically on the Model S/X? You'd basically have to find it private party or from a non-Tesla dealer because I'm pretty sure Tesla will immediately wipe it from the car when they get their hands on it. I have yet to see a used Tesla on the site with free premium connectivity or free supercharging.
Great information! Very helpful! Thank you!
Got a new 23 Model 3 standard. Why? The suspension of the older ones was stiff, and the loan rate was not that great. It also rattled and was noisier. If I knew you could swap the shocks, I would have looked harder.
It’s not that bad. My Model3 didn’t have a single issue. Guess I got lucky.
I bought a used 2020 Tesla last July because of the insane trade-in values going around at the time (Vroom gave me $2k more for my 2019 Subaru Legacy than I paid for it).
Was the car totally perfect? No, but all but 1 issue was fixed by Tesla under warranty and it's a beautiful car that has a few more miles on it than I would've put on it in the same time frame as I have no commute. If I could've managed to go without a car for a while I could've gotten a great used Tesla with EAP or FSD for less than I paid but the interest rate I have vs what's available now is a small consolation.
Can you buy a lithium-ion battery and replace the 12v battery in the older cars?
If you are getting the IRA rebate, why not get new? Especially with some states knocking off more of the cost. This is a golden age to buy imho.
I will not owe $3750 in taxes let alone $7500. If you wont owe taxes than its not going to help you this year. Next year they will take the money off at the dealerships.
@@mostmost1 right January u won’t even have to worry about but I’m wait and see by that time the blazer ev will be out
@@TailosiveEV Not in Calif., used m3's 2018 -2020 low to high 30k's(some in the 40k range) Pick up a m3sr white/black 37k+tax+registration ok 40k The big $$ is 7500$ max federal credit,plus your state cash/rebate (Calif up to 7500$ Cash) New warranty,better options ,better suspension,heat pump
Tesla's currently my dream car, but emphasis on "dream". I couldn't reasonably afford one until it hits about $30k. Currently, that *could* mean the standard M3 ($38.5k or so with the discount), except that my state's rebate ($7,500) is currently temporarily ended due to lack of funding (and I can't take advantage of tax incentives). There's some that are getting close to $30k and have things like FSD, but honestly, I don't want to compromise. I'm just going to keep searching for a '21 AWD with FSD and hopefully 18" wheels (for the efficiency) that is hopefully near me. I'd fly out and do a road trip home, though, to avoid the transport fee.
I also just have so many questions about whether things are deal breakers. Mainly I wonder if AWD is really needed for cold weather where there's hills, rain, and snow or if it's fine since Teslas are heavy and the weight is mostly in the back. I also wonder if road noise is really an issue before '21. Sounds like maybe not unless you hit 70 MPH+? I haven't gotten straight answers on these yet. The best I got was a dealer saying I probably should opt for AWD, which I take with a huge grain of salt because they're a salesman at the end of the day.
I'd be lookin' for a way to add back chrome UN-delete ... presumably there's a way via the aftermarket ...
I’m torn between a 2021 refresh MS LR (for the newer MCU, heat pump, and the new 170 MPH speed unlock (unfortunately I can’t afford a 2022 with 16gb ram)) and 2022 MYP (mainly for the chrome delete heat pump and lower price tag). I was originally looking to stay under $45k but I found a $54k model s refresh and I’m really considering splurging. I’m also considering a 2021 model 3 SR and 2021 Mach-e GT because they’re cheaper and in all actuality I WFH and don’t drive much.
That one person with 65% battery health at under 45k miles 😢
So I'm seeing used M3P for 38k with 15k-35k miles.
New they are going for 55k+ with tax credit. Is new still the way to go
I bought a Model 3 LR used to get parking sensors
Is there much drop off in buying a 22 or 21 as opposed to a brand new 24?
where did you get 2-4k for tires?
Id get a used cyber truck in 2 years ..hopefully under 40k
I just picked up a used 2021 Black Model 3 LR AWD from Carmax with 22k mileage. The only issue I found was a leaky tail light. But they promised to fix that.
I love it, I took it on a 300 mile trip, used a super charger for the first time, spent 8 minutes and then back on the road. 0 issues on the inside either.
The only thing I found afterwards was no CCS charging, but I plan on trying to upgrade that in the future.
How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking ?
@@lbyoung8420 It was 43k
@@Streeknine appreciate the response!
@@lbyoung8420 I got it at Carmax, I'm not sponsored but they do a good job at guaranteeing things and have fair prices.
@@Streeknine That seems very fair, I’ll keep them in mind when it’s time for me to jump on my Tesla purchase.
New only. Simply because they used prices are so high.
When i bought my M3P the prices were almost the same. I wasn't going to buy used to save $2k.
Drew! Fantastic editing on this video with the fuzzy explanation of Tesla new owner documentation time lapse. I found it quite hilarious. I gave up my gas Audi in 2015 and even though there were and are times where I wanted a car, I just rented for my occasional needs.I save so much money not owning a car. But now, I'm holding out for the Aptera. I sometimes take Uber to work and have been riding in many different EV vehicles. I have got say, the Ioniq 5 and 6 are pretty awesome and spacious clean minimal interior as well as the Tesla. I also rode in a Rivan, and I can see why owner's of Rivan's love their car. It's just unrealistically expensive. I'm looking forward to the more variety of choices in the EV market. Is it true Elon bought GM? I wish you and your family well!
I'm definitely curious about Aptera. Looking forward to when we can get some actual reviews in of final products. It sounds too good to be true, so far. Would really like to see how the final ride quality turns out and what tech/safety features it has.
I bought new for the smell, the lack of scratches (you can't view the car on Tesla's website), the tax credit, and the warranty
I bought a used M3P with just 16k miles for $25k less than the msrp. And I basically got FSD free because I negotiated 6k off the price which was the current cost of FSD
Is it a salvaged title? Have you tried supercharging yet?
@@chelsiestinson9494 it’s perfect condition. I’ve had it for over 2 years. It’s a 2020 model 3 performance
How’d you negotiate? I thought there was no way to do so
@@LoganTheNinja it was from a dealer
@@jacobB1290H Ah I see, I had assumed it was from Tesla themselves lol
I think the update to battery was in 2022, I have October 2021 Model Y and it has the Lead Acid battery.
If I don’t remember wrong, China switched in December 2021 for the M3 and MY. My former M3 LR with the new battery and it was built 4:th January 2022.
@elzo stubbe yes there is 3rd party that supplies a Lithium 12c battery but it’s fairly pricey. About equal to 4 replacement batteries from Tesla. When mine gets to point it needs a replacement I might see if Tesla offers upgrade to the Lithium battery as it is fairly smaller and lighter than the Lead Acid battery.
Hi, great video I'm deciding to between these two options : 1. brand new model 3 rwd 2023 for 39k. or 2. model 3 2022 with 15k mileage for 37k BUT with enhanced AP. which one you recommend ? both prices are after the tax reduction. I'm personally not into the eap much, amazing to have it though, but I won't pay more than 1000 for it at the moment.
New car
tax credit is only on new cars under 50k price or used cars under 25k price, so it basically wont work on the used car. go for the new one, no brainer
Get the new one! I got a new one in August and I love it! Plus the tax incentives on it makes it a no brainer!
If I can find a 2022 MYLR7 with USS then I will buy it in a heartbeat. I'm ready to buy mine, jus trying to hold out to find a used one for a good price, if not I will get a brand new one as its not that much of a price difference now. If so this would be my first new vehicle (and EV)
35000 target for me
Planning on getting a 2022 LR model 3 by the end of this year/beginning of 2025. Plenty of used 2022 with around 60-80k miles in Florida right around that $25k ev tax credit mark so would be around 22k out the door after rebate/taxes.
We bought a used 2016 Model X last year. It’s a legacy model but it wasn’t as big of a deal as you might think
Curious how the MX is doing for you?
@@joonlee8510 It’s holding up fine, but wow the build quality really isn’t what it is today. Tesla’s today don’t have the best build quality as we’re all aware but this Model X was among the first ones built based on year. We plan to sell in hopes of another newer car and plan to buy a Refreshed Model X in the future.
Great Video. Thanks for all the info.
My next car will be a used Tesla model 3 😎
Considering buying a 2021 Model 3, 15k miles for $29k. Wondering if that makes more sense than buying new?
What did you decide?
I’ll never understand why they don’t have techs that do inspections on the vehicles at delivery, BEFORE, customer pickup, rather than leave the responsibility upon the customer. That’s pretty messed up.
Because 95% of the customers will never find the defects to begin with.
Excellent
Buy certified refurbished
Perhaps!
It's scary to buy a Tesla with all these considerations.
2K to 4K for tires? Whaaaaaaaaaat?
Man this is more prevelant now than ever. Like I kinda want you to revisit this topic. Since Hertz dumped 1/3 of its EV stock, you can get Used model 3s for under 25K with less than 50K miles, that also qualify for the 4,000 federal tax credit
great video!
Just got a 2021 MYLR FSD 50k miles for 33k
$2k-$4k for tires?
Yea. The 20” tires, good ones, are $400/tire. Plus mount and balance, it’s like $1800. More expensive for the 21’
never buy a new car unless you want to keep the dealer in the green
Not necessarily true these days with rebates and tax incentives.
I was one of the first ti get Tesla x
171k took to service 28 times after that they bought back
I paid for a car to test it good them rather doing it them self
Ac Ato working
Door molding came off while driving
Driver door stop opening
I had to enter the vehicle from the passenger side
Back door stick open
Hydroplane when driving on we road
If rain little heavier then normal I can see from the windshield due to some design to protect from ultra light radiation what ever the hell it was that was in 2016 new x
Oh my gosh! 😮
Bro...I live in fremont where the factory is. I know many people that work there. They all say it's a shit show there and the quality of assembly is horrific.
The more important question is Why should I buy a Tesla if Elon Musk is the CEO and there are many comparative EVs on the market.
I know like why watch a video about Tesla,when you have so much hate for Mr Free speech? Strange,but hey i think he's still the richest person in the world without your $ Enjoy your Nazi VW
They lack interior style, myself I cannot stand staring at a tablet for an instrument cluster.
Tesla does not not "throw in" FSD. The activate it and charge you for it
$2-$4k in tires??? Have you ever purchased tires before?
Have you ever purchased tires for a Tesla?
@@CreachterZ Yes. For my model 3. Similar to the price of other tires.
yeah i made the mistake of buying new tires from a tesla service center for my 15 ms p85d. never again lol. i buy them off tire rack, they come with roadside hazard warranty and are cheaper..
A friend just bought a used a used P100D 2019 with just 36k miles for less than 40k at a bmw dealer with a clean title. Good luck selling your Tesla, resale value is so bad.
@@TailosiveEV i have no intention of buying one again after it almost killed my family
@@s13dad82 Sure it did
I have a hard time believing that your friend found a 19 p100d (ms or mx?) with 36k mi for less than $40k..
I don’t think they just “throw in” enhanced auto pilot. Pretty sure the vehicles that have that option was already paid for by someone prior
@@TailosiveEV highly doubt that. Then why wouldn’t they do it to ALL the used vehicles…
Your logic doesn’t check out
It's true. As to what vehicles get it versus which don't is up in the air.
they do enable it on their used fleet but add that option to the price
I agree that Rivian should integrate the NACS connector, but your forgetting one major factor! Jeff Bezos (Amazon) still has major shares of the company. Personally, I think Bezos is willing to sacrifice Rivian and force them to not switch just to take a jab at Musk.
Look at the delivery van deal. They cannot at this time start selling to other companies. Jim Farley was right that Amazon deal could potentially harm Rivian becoming the EV company they can be.
Buy a new one if possible because most dealerships sell the used car for way more money than the new one.
You can buy used from Tesla
Now? New all day.
Used
Would you buy a Tesla that's out of warranty?
No
How dare you use your Tim apple voice
haha
