I really wouldn't say that anything in the video is SECRET or isn't apparent on the Tesla website.
Not Ryan pumping his own referral code to buy FSD then dump the car for profit 😘
@@LamarW1776probably just getting super charge miles
Just Ryan being Ryan. Putting out mind numbing info for clicks and referrals
Anything for clicks
@@badtorowhy do you watch his videos?
I've been following this channel since Modal Y came into sight. A 7 seater is perfect for our family in weekend trips with two daughters and grand-daughter in 2nd row, two son-in-laws in 1st row, wife and me in 3rd row. I’m 5’8 medium build, my wife is 5’5 and we are very comfortable in the third row. I even take off my shoes just to get an extra inch of space. On a hot summer day, we need the air fan at high speed since there is no outlet in the back. I also reduce tire pressure to 38 to deal with bumpy streets.
Just picked-up my M3 almost exactly a month ago. When I went to the dealer for a test drive, the Tesla representative informed me about the Referral program, as well as explaining to me that finding a unit already built would net me ~$3,000 off the cost of ordering one. That was incredibly awesome of her to do that, and the purchase experience was simply the best I've experienced in 35 years of car buying. Great stuff!
That tip on the charger to buy was genius! Just bought my tesla and used your referral code! Love your videos :)
This episode was very, very informative and helpful.
Thank you!!!!!
So many secrets right?
Well darn, I wish I had seen this video a week ago. My lease was up and I just picked up my 2nd Mdl Y last Wednesday. Had I known I could have used my own referral code and gotten points and 90 days FSD I would have. When the service rep called I said before I ordered I wanted to get someone’s referral code for the $500 bucks. He said no prob I’ll just give you the $500 off. No points or FSD for me. D’oh! No that I would have kept the FSD but like you said it would have been fun to try. May call Tesla and beg.
Telsa did wave the $300+ disposition fee on the lease return as well as a $500 credit off any excess wear & tear.
I think FSD is great on a subscription basis so that you can use it when you want a month at a time. Personally, I would use it for extended trips, so it would be cheap.
"dealer swindling", love it. How true.
Very good explanation of the process. Ryan let me ask you, if you have to buy a Y now, which one would you prefer. option 1: a used 2022 Y standard range with 4K miles with Full FSD. for 51K. Option2 Brand new 2023 with HW4 for 47k, use 3 months FSD trial when available and subscribe to FSD when needed. I liked the Idea of buying older Y with 15K FSD and just 4 K miles, but I will always have back in my mind I did not Y with Latest HW and camera and suspension improvement which is actually a very important thing to me, I drive Q7 which is super quite and extremely comfortable suspension, I recalled driving to KW non stop from Nashville, I absolutely have to fatigue at all. I hear many new Y owner say that new Y has much improved suspension and quite ride.
FSD made me super anxious when I used it. Couldn’t imagine doing that on a regular basis. That’s a feature I can do without lol. I’m more stressed while the car drives itself than I would be if I just drove myself.
Could you please warn prospective buyers that, if you want the $500 off via a referral code, you must initiate the purchase with the referral code link. I found this out the hard way: I went to Tesla's website, ordered my car, and assumed I would have the opportunity to add the referral code much like I often add coupon codes on other websites. Not so. When I called Tesla about this, I was told there was no way to add the referral code after the order was initiated. I could only cancel the order and start again, which did no good since, by canceling the order, I lost the $250 order fee, and would get charged another $250 order fee on a second order, thus using up the benefit of the referral code. I'm still a little ticked off about this, but might feel better if I can prevent others from making the same mistake.
Any idea when the Model Y refresh might be availabler to order?
You should really make sure to disclose that the referral is not available in all states. My brother bought a Tesla in state of Ohio. I used his referral code and expected a discount but in the end, I was told that Ohio is not eligible for referrals. Kind of sucks, but you should make sure folks know this in advance.
I ordered my Tesla and got the free/included black colour and now that my delivery date is closer they sent me an email saying I’ve been charged for the black colour and i looked at the website and they’ve changed the included colour to gray. I’m pretty upset right now because when i ordered it was included and they said that in my purchase. How can they just change that?
Does the discount referral code work for a used LOng range model 3?
What is the cheat code to get a QuickSilver Model Y Performance with white interior here in the US? :)
How do you use autopark? I have fsd beta and don’t see an auto park option.
Hallo zusammen 👍,
Wenn man nun den Newsletter schon abonniert hat, bekommt man dann noch jetzt einen spezielles Angebot für die Mud-Flaps?
Ich würde die gerne kaufen + eine vorherige Reinigung ❤️.
Top Videos bisher immer und liebe Grüße 👌👌
I can tell you the album on the screen by Lettuce, is FIRE.
Nice video but there is nothing secret 😂
Thanks Ryan, very informative!
Just like tesla offer $26,000 online. And after you deposited $250. They tell you your car worth $16,000. Trade in or lose your $250…. I told them from the beginning is that what I am getting for my car. The advisor told me you might get more since ur car wrapped when you first got it and tinted…. But it was hey take $16k or lose your $250. I told them not selling my 2018 bought it from you $62k 4 years ago.
What is the current August 2023 battery chemistry for the base rear-wheel drive model Y? Thanks.
CATL LFP for MIA
BYD LFP for MIG
Where is that secret menu with the 1020HP Plaid motors in the Model 3 chassis? :)
Thanks Ryan, you always have good information to keep in mind when buying or configuring a Tesla. The one I appreciated the most was NOT to buy the upgraded larger rims/wheels because of the much rougher ride. I think people buy them thinking they look great and end up regretting it because the ride is not as good as the standard smaller diameter rims.
This is very true. I am buying a MY right now. When test driving, they first put me into a MY Performance. I did not like that car at all. The ride was literally a deal breaker for me and had me thinking about buying something different like the Mach-e or the Ionic 5. Just to be sure, I set up another test drive and told them that I wanted to drive one with the 19" wheels. I told them I had no interest in the 20"ers, either. The Model Y with the 19" wheels rides so much better. Enough so that I completed the order.
Tomayto tomahto. I have the 21’s on my Model S. Love the look, love the ride.
Do I know I’ll get a quieter, less bumpy ride with smaller wheels? Yes. And am sacrificing some range? Yes. But I still prefer the 21’s.
Wheels are like shoes, and humans will often choose style over comfort, beauty over convention, expensive over more affordable. And I’m glad Tesla offers the choice.
@@evolv.ethe model s has air suspension right? I think ur fine with the 21s 😂
@@TheTeslaBaz true. 😊
@@evolv.e Very true and providing a choice is good, but when buying online Tesla doesn't tell you those kinds of differences and I'm glad Ryan provides info like that for people to make a good decision on buying their Tesla so they're not regretting it later.
I dont see those battery specs and chemistry on the order website. Details matter.
12:55 At least in EU you can choose many different wallconnectors too ^^
do tesla deliver overseas?
1:45 Something i don´t get, why dealers have extra prices.... at least here, i never paid full price, or if, i get some extras. But nowhere more then the MSRP.
2:05 Destiny fee even when i grab it at the factory.... with no tour or any extras? I mean, if you like.... i would not :)
How do I find out which models have projector LED headlights? As I casually look at the Tesla web site I do not see that info.
All the new ones will have the newer lights
I just bought a 2023 Model 3P and transferred the FSD from my 2018 Model 3LR. However, my 2018 was left with basic autopilot even though it was delivered in 2018 with enhanced autopilot, a $5000 upgrade at the time. When I first drove my 2018 after the transfer it said "Your vehicle no longer has FSD and has been restored to its original configuration". That's not true, of course. I have the original sticker to prove it. This was not disclosed before I purchased the 2023. However, during the week I was waiting for my 2023, I noticed they changed the FAQ on the website saying the transferring vehicle will be left with Basic. It seems like I lost $5k on the deal....
Ryan, would you buy a Texas or Fremont model Y today? Besides looks why get any tire package other than the basic one?
FSD $15,000 is a major ouch for something that ISN'T FSD and nags you to look at the road and jiggle the wheel.
Anyone know when the Modey Y Highland will get released? Waiting on that to buy.
It's not called Highland, it's Juniper. Expect late 2024
@@TechnoMonkeyFarmthanks for the info
9:28 If i dare to want the max out of a kwh, i would go to Aptera :P
To see if the Tesla with the internal features you want that is not listed on the purchase selection list is being delivered to your area I recommend scheduling multiple test drives to over time see what the test car is equipped with compared to what you want.
It would be cool if you can refer yourself and gain gift points until you find your buy features.
Model Y with ventilated seats is one of the many must have features for my next purchase 😊
24 hrs until Project Highland 👍😉💪
One can only hope…
if it doesnt then im getting the model 3 long range
Reall? I mean, really really??
@@nicklegrey987the current Model 3 will be discontinued from tomorrow so it’s looking very promising.
@alancobbin there's currently no standard model 3 in my area in a 200 mile radius and i live in Anaheim california.
Love this video! There are so many tricks and "hacks" to get the best deal!
Great video 🙌 I have the standard range Tesla and only got the wall connector for the weather resistant features since I must park outside due to no garage
Thanks for the info, how does buying 2nd tesla work with referral link?
Hi Ryan, I watch every video you drop. They are all very helpful and knowledgeable for any Tesla owner or one considering a Tesla. This video in particular is going to help me a lot for I am considering a model 3 but I would like your opinion should I wait for project Highlander or take a current model 3? Again, thank you for all the great videos you post to help current and future Tesla owners.
He’s mentioned in a previous video that now is the time to wait because highland is right around the corner. Expected in September
Wait! But definitely buy one, they're great!
Prices should drop on older model 3 if Highland is not what you prefer
Even if you can save $5500 with referral code and inventory, some of the used cars come with FSD from the previous owner which is a savings of $15k over new as the price is about the same as without FSD.
Spread between new and used is too small to buy used -buy new inventory car
Can’t wait for this Tesla. It will be glued together in Mexico. This mode will be the Dunkin Donuts of EVs.
I need to reduce my tax liability in tax year 2024 instead of this year. Do you think the $7,500 tax credit will still be available (contrary to the website language) or should I purchase in 2023 and take advantage of the huge discount offered on the Model 3/Y from inventory?
Nobody knows except Tesla
Thank you
Okay where in the ordering process can you get interior color other than all black or snow white? Or do we have to find custom seat covers to cover up the factory limitations at delivery? Ever heard of tan or beige?
Model S and X have a beige option.
While the Mobile Connector may be slower than the Wall Connector for some models another actor to consider is your home electrical supply. Going for a faster (and more expensive) wall connector may require electrical upgrades to handle the higher electrical load. Home electrical upgrades can soon get into the $1,000's of dollars.
32 Amps is plenty for home charging, most vehicles will go from empty to full in around ten hours. Most EV drivers don't allow their cars to get down to empty anyway so daily charge times are often an hour or two and that's it. Why go for extra speed that may end up saving you maybe 30 minutes while you sleep and won't notice the difference anyway?
My house is only 22 yrs old so when I installed my wall connector no new panel required. I went w wall connector vs drier plug for faster charge. And I was lucky w that choice. My electrician told me when the drier plugs get hot in their garages they quit charging or drop charge rate significantly whereas not wall connector. I live in Texas. My install was $500. No complaints.
@@Brian-rm8dn Yeah if you buy the $20 special dryer plugs at Home Depot they get hot. A decent electrician will provide a Bryant outlet. Our original 6-50 plug was installed 12 years ago by an electrical contractor. All electrical equipment has to be fit for purpose.
this was a dope video and has a lot of good information in it that I didnt know. cant wait for the next one!
I also don't like the side mount configuration on the home wall charger given the tight wall space at the end of a wall of cabinets in my garage.
I thought Tesla had small print about not being able to post your referral code publicly on social media, including TH-cam. Has that changed? 🤔
Ryan doesn't put the code up on the screen during the video unlike some other influencers. While it may technically be a violation I believe his approach is in keeping with the intent of the rule.
@@JeanPierreWhite Cool, because I wanted to put mine in the description of my videos but wasn't sure if it was allowed.
More people need to demostrate the flexibility of the 2nd row in a 7 seat model y configuration.
Could we get a video showing the difference?
The 3rd row of the model y & x is for midgets, dwarves & small children only, you have absolutely no headroom or legroom.
its a very expensive upgrade just to put slightly more seats inside it.
it is for a highly specific family need and only for as long as the people are that short.
@@FractalPrism. I agree they are small and for special purpose, but my point is that the second row is immensely better than the 5 seat. I have both and wish I had the same second row as the 7 seater. I will buy another 7 seater just for that better 2nd row and the occasional special need for the third row (hauling all the grandkids)
8:02 I am not sure, why, when you daily drive 50 miles you should consider a smaller pack. It is not about the distance then, just how often you want to charge. As we should keep in mind, not everyone can charge at home. But even if. When i can charge my car once a week, it can´t be bad for the pack on the long run :) Vs. i have to charge 2-3x times a week :)
14:30 There is no reason, why FSD is not bound to the account.... Despite of getting people to pay more. Even once they told "Buy today and save, before it gets more expensive".... Where at the end, people saved nothing at all. 1. There is no FSD ready 2. They need a new car to actual make use of all (Despite the promises back in the days, which no one care)
Model Y claims "326 mile range" for the "long range" version of the car at $60,000. its REAL WORLD range is:
best case = 252 miles in hot weather 22% less than claimed
worse case = 118 miles in cold weather 62% less than claimed
this assumes you dont use extra features like AC and that you drive conservatively.
The Model Y Long Range sells for $50,490, not $60,000, and its claimed range is 330 miles, not 326 miles.
What is the source for your "real world" range values?
Next to the word "Range" on every car manufacturers US website there are a few letters that say "EPA est." - What do we think does this "EPA est." mean?
If you switch on the ordering website for the Model Y from US to UK version the range suddenly increases? - What could be the reason for this?
Nobody is claiming "real world range" anywhere cause nobody could know how you are going to drive your car.
I can recommend Björn Nyland's "1000km challenge" and his "sunday driving" reports to figure out the range of a Model Y in various scenarios. Your assumptions about real world range are simply ridiculous.
You get 118miles of range if you drive 125mph on the Autobahn, not because of "cold weather" lol
I was today years old when I realised that Tesla has 4 models: S3XY
Tesla does not allow FSD to transfer to a new vehicle if the original car is leased-not fair!
I have a 2023 Model 3 RWD and would like to trade in for a Model Y, is it going to worth the hustle? Does anyone did that before? I’m 9 months in my lease and that’s like very very early, but did anyone actually happened to do it?
Nice tip
Another hidden thing to consider is that charging to 100% is less efficient since regenerative braking is not as available so brakes may go out sooner on an LFP RWD model 3.
Highly unlikely unless you live at the top of a long steep hill. Just backing out of the driveway will give you some room in the battery for regenerative braking. All the rest of the driving will do the same thing. Also, and this I am not sure about, so it is worth looking into, just because the battery is full does not mean the regenerative braking can't be used, you just don't get the electricity from it (i.e. it is wasted). Not sure if the software works that way or not. My PHEV if the battery is full and I hit the brakes will use the engine as a brake, so I still don't wear the brakes, but I don't get any benefit from it.
@@mikereinhardt1244 I have a LFP M3.....and live at the top of a steep long hill (seriously). The regen does not kick in until I get to 99%, or until the battery heats up a bit in winter. So was thinking of setting the battery to just charge to 99%! (and 100% once week for calibration)
@@alanrossiter6626 The questions is not if the regen regens or not, it is if the friction breaks kick in or it still uses the motor for breaking (thus saving on break wear) and just dumps the electricity into a resister or something. I don't know the answer to that.
The new Model 3 Long Range is supposed to also have a LFP battery, Given that, it could also be charged to 100% daily.
It says 90% in the car
It will be impossible for me to spend any money when buying my Model Y. First my future wife offered to buy me one, then a girl elsewhere bought a lottery ticket in my name, making me win far more than needed to buy the car.
Nothing is secret and he started the video on pricing but more than half is spent on battery, charging etc….. why man… why waste time
Content for YT
Why don’t you mention about Europe?
Speaking of interior quality,is there any indication Tesla is looking to improve the quality and comfort of the seats in the 3 and Y. I'd like to buy a Tesla, but can't get past these seats. Least comfortable I have experienced.
There probably won't be happening much about the seats since most people like them a lot.
What ever happened to the affordable Tesla for the average person oh yeh they don't care for the average peasant
Can a Tesla owner use his own referral code for a discount?
Yes.
Didn't Tesla recently change the battery of the M3 LR to LFP to qualify for the federal tax credit ?
Can you buy a used Tesla with FSD from Tesla and then sell it to tesla in a few weeks (before September 30) back to Tesla and buy a new Tesla and transfer the FSD to the new one?
The sales tax will eat eliminate whatever gain you hope to achieve.
@@thomaskim3128 lol. Thank you… I thought I’d made $15k!
Elon should make FSD as part of owner profile then can take it to any Tesla even when renting one
And make it cheaper thus allowing more owners to upgrade their profile to have FSD
If anyone is interested in buying a Tesla feel free to let me know, as I can give you my referral code!
Reading between the lines that are never talked about here is that you could really get messed up buying a discontinued model and miss out on 4680 battery improvements among other big changes. You go first.
Every Tesla I own or have owned has been and still is a great car. Really would be happy with any of them. Do I like the new models better? Yes … with minor exceptions-no passenger lumbar ??? My wife is pissed :)
It is certainly a great time to buy Tesla ever. But, I believe that Tesla will decrease their prices even more for the futures to come due to more competition from other manufacturers and their further expansion in size.
"The cheapskate ends up paying the most" It's already too late for free supercharging, free Teslas from points, and cheap $5k FSD. FSD is $15k today but will go even much higher in price when it's "finished". Already people lost $10k by "waiting". Teslas always go UP in price except for temporary incentives. No USA EV maker turns a DIME profit on their EVs and none can actually make any at numbers so "competition" is a moot point as well. Basically it always the 'best" time to buy a Tesla, just ask the hundreds of thousands that have free supercharging for life, that's not worth nothing !! The one caveat if you are late in buying a Tesla and want an M3 you MIGHT want to wait for the Highland update because at least it looks a lot cooler but again will it start at $40k like a current M3?👀
If you own a Tesla, you can refer yourself, as well.
I think you may have got two things slightly wrong about the model 3 in your recent video. One I am only pretty sure about, but not 100% sure, the other I am. First is that you mentioned with the LFP battery you can charge to 100% so you will get the full range every day. Though true the problem there is that for the majority of people they don't need much range daily when charging up at home. When they need longer range is a road trip, and for a road trip, though you can still charge to 100% the charging curve for the LFP batteries are not much different than they are for the NMC (traditional) batteries. So, unless you are stopped for lunch and can wait a long time for the charge you are still going to be limited when the range matters to 80-90% (maybe less if you are really in a hurry).
Second thing you said (this is the one I am not 100% sure about) is that the long range model 3 does not have LFP batteries. I don't think this is true, in the US anyway. The older long range (2021 and older) used NCM cells (2170, I think). but when the new one arrived back on the website in the configurator there were 2 changes: first was that the EPA range dropped from 358 to 333 miles. Second, is that when it first came out, just like the standard range it didn't qualify for the full 7500 tax credit, only 3750. They both got updated to a full 7500, and I don't know why. But those 2 facts make me believe that the long range is also using the LFP cells. I can't be sure, they don't really tell you.
Anyone that has a 2023 model 3 LR can you tell us if it recommends charging to 100% at least once a week? If so then we will know it is LFP for sure. Found this on the web too:
Do I have LFP battery Model 3?
To determine if your Tesla has an LFP battery, navigate to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information on your Tesla's touchscreen. If you see “High Voltage Battery type: Lithium Iron Phosphate” listed, your Tesla has a LFP battery
The advantage of 100% daily charging for the LFP battery is that the car is always ready to go. You don't have to do a special 100% charge before a road trip. It requires little battery care, which for a new buyer who knows little about EV's is a good thing.
@@JeanPierreWhite I didn't say that LFP has no advantages, and I personally would want an LFP version just for the safety, but I also want a LR version, so... matters to me if those are LFP or not.
Point was that I don't want people watching this and thinking they will get 100% of the range on all their DC quick charges. Again, if they are willing to wait, they can, but it will take a while just like with the NMC batteries. Some road trippers may see that as a limitation. If you are normally charging at lunch it is an advantage because you won't get charged for idle time, or rather it will be charging the whole time you are eating and you don't have to go move your car.
Not making a judgement call, just being more clear on where the advantages are for LFP. Quicker charging from 80%+ is not one of those advantages.
There are tesla dillership
Cars will get cheapper
Looks like I'll be waiting another year or so before I buy a new Tesla. I refuse to buy any vehicle with batteries made in China or by a Chinese company operating a factory in the US. I want a vehicle that is made in the US with batteries made here as well, what particular chemistry the batteries use is of much less concern to me than where they are made.
If anyone reading my comments is considering a vehicle with Chinese batteries, keep in mind that China's economy is currently imploding. The corruption and incompetence of the CCP is finally coming back on them. The possibility of revolution or worse, Xi starting a war in order to distract the people (like Galtieri in 1982), is extremely high right now. Are you actually comfortable making a significant, long-term investment in a vehicle made with batteries from such a nation?
Panasonic and LG aren't chinese?
