I bought some clothes the other day and there were these hidden costs with those as well. I can’t believe I had to buy laundry powder to clean it and also the cost of water to mix the laundry powder to wash the clothes.
Tire rotations are free through Discount Tires if you purchase their Tire Protection Plan when your tires are still not worn out (i.e., when the car tires is are relatively new). Their tire protection plan cost me $137 for all 4 tires that protect against any accidents and include free tire rotations. So you don’t have to purchase tires through them to qualify for a free rotation.
@@lIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI Well that's a problem for people who can't afford home-ownership. Those who can have no need to settle down. Besides people have been driving 50k oversize pickup trucks they can't afford for decades. Funny how Tesla is the only one that gets the hate.
@@KrsnamVJm tesla gets hate because they're owned by a moron, their manufacturing quality is low, and they haven't done anything to disseminate correct information about buying and maintaining electric. they are the least responsible of all the startup EV companies in this respect, the supercharging misconception has lasted for over a decade and they've done nothing to actually inform buyers that this long dead policy is in fact dead.

Ok when factoring in costs, stuff like tints, PPF, extra tires, FSD, etc, are OPTIONAL. And they of course can go with ANY vehicle, not just a Tesla Model Y or any other EV. So when factoring in costs, don't look at any accessories or items that would be optional - look at true operational costs. What it costs you to fuel (charge) the BEV and to maintain it in working/safe order. My 2020 Tesla Model 3 LR, drove 93,000 kms (about 53,000 miles) in just over 4 years of ownership. Total cost for me for all charging and maintenance for this was $3,500 Canadian. Yes that is it! Insurance/car payments are additional. Insurance is very subjective and it is so personal, that you cannot nor should not take anyone else's example of what they pay as in stone. I can tell you our insurance for our first BEV was lower than our used ICEV at that time, so it is very competitive here in Canada. If you can home charge, then a BEV is perfect and will save you tons of money over years of ownership. If it works for your use case. You need to select the right vehicle for your needs. Not all BEVs will satisfy all user needs. If you can't home charge, then still look at charging costs and your use case, to see if financially it would still save you money. You will be surprised that in many cases, BEVs still offer savings even in these scenarios. It's not as cut and dry as many would make you think, but for 80%+ of needs, a good BEV will work. I don't worry about Battery Replacement Costs, as all BEVs come with a warranty on the pack and components which is substantial. Packs today are built for easily 10+ years of use. So sorry, but this video does not offer good advice.
Exactly ! This smart a$$ is just listing regular costs of a regular car, this has nothing to do with the Model Y ! What a waste of time click bait useless video.
Dont buy any ev They are expensive They are very expensive to insure They are very expensive to repair They are unreliable in hot and cold weather And the depreciation falls off a cliff as soon as you drive it off the dealership parking lot
Pretty much figure $2000 a year for insurance and say $1000 for tires every 30,000-50,000 miles plus rotations at 7k miles so lets just call it $1500 . For me I'm financed at 1% for 6 years and drive around 10k miles a year so payment $615+insurance (2000/12)+tires (10000/50000/12*1500)= ~$800/month. Add FSD and Connectivity and its $910 a month so round up for random other expenses and just call it an even $1000 per month. Hope that gives some insight to anyone looking at getting a model Y. For what it's worth I have no regrets.
@@Joey_DiGs Haha you're probably the only 16 year old Hyundai owner with balls to compare your hooptie to a Model Y. Or maybe you've done one too many oil changes.
@@ElMistroFeroz lol not sure what you’re trying to get at here buddy. I consider vehicles a transportation appliance and not an emotional thing. i don’t need to look cool in my car cuz im lucky and have huge fat hairy nuts so I’m confident in myself. I drive around 4,000 miles a year since I live 2.5 miles from work. Average 20-34 year old drives 17,976. I haven’t gotten many oil changes in my life due to the low miles. Less than 20 changes. Changed rotors and calipers twice and had to do the front lower control arms. I have been considering buying a model y because I would like to go from 1 oil change a year to 0 a year. I’d also like to go from filling my gas tank up 26x a year to 0x a year. But when I consider $800/monthly contribution compounded annually at 8% that would turn into $57,494.83 after 5 years. $900/monthly = $64,681.69 after 5 years I’m just not sure working an additional 5-10 years when I’m older is worth it to have a new kool car every 5 years bruh, but you do you.
2013 volt, put 45k miles on it in 19 mo, getting 94mpg, car paid for itself after 18 mo without waiting at any fast chargers. insurance is 21$/mo lol. if you want to save money dont buy a tesla. get an old volt yo.
Your insurance is so cheap in Ontario! I Live in BC. I have 12 years of clean driving experience. My fiancé has 4 years of experience with 1 accident and 2 speeding tickets. Insurance for me as primary and her as secondary, we got quoted $560/month for a model Y and $610/month for a model 3... (idk how this makes sense considering the model Y is more expensive). If my fiancé was the primary on the model Y the insurance was quoted at $927/month.... however, if it was just me on the insurance it would cost $377/month.
When the EV vehicles are more affordable to people making less than 50/60k, i think about it. They should be in the range of 25-40k, then more people will buy it. Presently it is not. The infrastructure is not there. I forgot to mentioned that the battery charging depend on weather. If it's a blizzard cold weather, the battery will put all their energy to warm it up. I read a Cyber Truck that didn't charge at night under a -5F lost 20%. He originally have 80% and in the morning, it's at 60%.
The infrastructure is only available in first world countries that have electricity. What these 1st world countries lack is a good public education system that teaches people how to think for themselves and not repeat every single debunked talking point out of their television as if it were actual wisdom.
I don’t understand how your insurance is so cheap, my quote was $270 and that’s with a corporate discount. Insurance makes no sense, I pay $124 for a muscle car so I thought an EV would be cheaper, shocked me when I got that estimate
Nice Insurance depend on area live, your driving records, and what type of vehicle. Tesla tires are more expensive than regular sedan tires. It seems like it wear out more. I suggest buying at Discount Tire and get the free rotation. They do balance too. If you're already into this high expenditure, get solar panels. Basically you are energy independent. However do not be 100% dependent on it as the weather can be cloudy the whole weeks/months aka Seattle. I think self driving is okay in the morning and afternoon. However I do not trust it at night time driving. Most Tesla that did self driving at night hit other vehicles and pedestrians. Don't be part of the statistic. When I drive to work (5am, still dark), I see people exercising/walking/taking out their dog and getting home 7pm (dark again). People wear dark colors.
In my country we have electricity. Here EV owners wake up to a full tank of electricity every morning. Do you at least have sewege/running water where you live?
Did you know about all these prior to buying a Tesla Model Y? 🤔
I bought some clothes the other day and there were these hidden costs with those as well. I can’t believe I had to buy laundry powder to clean it and also the cost of water to mix the laundry powder to wash the clothes.

Some times people buy cars that they want and that are fun to drive. Not always trying to “save money”
Times have changed to the point where people can't afford homeownership, so I suggest you sit back down, little bro.
@ lol. No. People get mad or disappointed after buying an EV thinking they are going to save so much money compared to gas. Not always true.

I have never rotated tires in 40 years, I have the same mileage as those who do it
I rotate my tires hundreds of times when I go to work and back. No need to pay no grease monkey to do it.
A quick chat gpt will show Tesla is heaps more cost effective vs ice cars.
My dream car❤
Flea market tint $90
Lol, $80K CAD for a Model Y Long Range. I'm sorry man.
Haha all good! 😅
You can now buy leased Tesla
That also depends on the state you live. In South Carolina where I live, it says I cannot get a lease in my area.
Bro , I live in Brampton . Where do you recommend for getting good tints?
My tinting video does have a shop - they were decent for the price. I am sure you can get a more professional install but it will cost more
Interesting
Tesla is the Future. End of discussions
Agreed 👌🏼
Keep your blinders on, there is to the world than just Tesla. BYD sells more EVs and for less $$$.
We block China so that doesn't matter in the US
@@nelsonmira4884 Yet Tesla sells its vehicles successfully right there in China next to BYD.
Unless you live in an apartment
so many DCL for a car jez
