I'm an ac technician, I have been seen an ac system working more than 20 years without the need of replacing the coolant or the "desiccant bag" it's almost impossible to have humidity in the coolant circuit because it's under pressure, the only one case that you can find humidity in the circuit is because of manufacturing default
. And even in the worst case, if there is a leak of coolant or ac compressor default, the battery must shut down and stop working.
my frend toyota 2000 Camry never need AC service. the vehicle does not have desiccant bag and it still cold like snow. Desiccant bag in the HV housing is for different purpose. It is for the inside of the HV battery, it remove the moiseture inside the HV battery. He misinformation about the desiccant bag job.
@@tonymai1844 no, the desiccant bag is part of the AC system, it's integral to the condenser. There should be no "moisture from the HV battery" contaminating the refrigerant system. a desiccant bag is a wearable item but most legacy manufacturers do no provide a long warranty on A/C systems and if one fails it isn't potentially detrimental to the vehicle's usefulness. your friends 2000 Camry likely had a non-serviceable desiccant inside the condenser.
That expensive washer fluid must be made from desalinated tears of legacy automakers.
Account 47 Tesla washer fluid😂
🤣🤣🤣
@account47 I use washer fluid made from the distilled tears of Tesla stock Short Sellers…..
Thank you for updating. You might want to add wiper blade.
Martin Lee Good point. But that will be apples to apples with any other car so it’s not needed for this comparison 👍
I think if you are adding wiper blades to the cost you should add tires too, as they are both consumables. Unless Tesla wipers are unique and ridiculously priced.
Another helpful and well- made video - thanks!
This might be the best Tesla channel on TH-cam. Great knowledge and honest opinions is a great combination.
Did not know about the changes. Thank you for posting!
Vince and Theresa neither did I. I appreciate this greatly!!
One thing to note about the brake fluid is that the reservoir fluid will not be as bad as the fluid in the calipers. Brakes are a closed system, so the fluid is not circulated. The calipers is where the moisture and rust typically gain access to the brake fluid. That's why it is just a good practice to flush the fluid in the calipers on a regular basis (since it's not easily testable).
But doing it right is more important. Those quick lube shop never does the right thing but they recommended a lot. If DIY and you dont have the right pressure tool then we need two people to do the job.
Tesla information states the following on brake fluid: Check it every 2 years using a copper content test strip (commercially available) at the caliper. They pay 0.05 hours for this procedure. If the copper ppm > 30 ppm, flush the fluid. Yes, it must be done with the correct adapter and must be done with a proper pressure bleeder, and it must be done using Service Mode to open the biases in the ABS module to bleed all the air from the system properly. The video also made a mistake: DOT 3 is compatible in the Tesla as a last a resort, but all Teslas come stock with and recommend DOT 4 HYDRAULAN 404 fluid.
Thank you for posting!
Great video! Very helpful. I've ordered my brake fluid tester and strips. Well done.
Yay! Great video, this is the content I subscribed for
EXCELLENT updated information! I saw your first video and was a bit taken aback by the costs that were explained back then. Now, I'm very relieved. I share your point of view: to keep my car great, I am resolved to do what Tesla recommends. I'm very glad that's not going to cost as much as before.
$10 to $20 for washer fluid is insane. Even for the winter version of -32, it's less than $2 at walmart.
Chris Tesla washer fluid😂
That's 6 years worth of washer fluid so that's 7-8 gallons of washer fluid for $15
@@blkdragn83 I will spend that in a month.. :D
@@blkdragn83 well that would make more sense :)
Yes $20 is a ripoff but that $2 fluid @ walmart will ruin your paint.
Awesome tips to save even more $$$$! Thank you!
Great video - thank you for posting this!
Always very good information. Thanks!
Getting close to 20K subs. Good for you! 😀😀😀
Thanks Nick! There was a big upswing last month but it really slowed down this month. No rhyme or reason.
Great video as usual, particularly the tip about how easy it is to test your brake fluid yourself
Another great video! Thank you!
Thank you for the water tip. I drive 2020 Prius AWD XLe
I like that Tesla has adjusted their maintenance schedule as they learned more from their vehicles.
It shows that they are not like legacy auto dealers trying to gouge their customers.
If you go back nearly 2 decades at how much they've learned and adapted its impossible to comprehend. The legacy auto makers shat all over them in the early 00s on how poor their overall production was. Such as taking a dozen parts to make a single wheel well. Tesla even stated they hope to make an entire car in just a handful of large parts (the now gigapress). The legacy auto's laughed so hard at that. look at how the tables have turned. its so hilarious.
This was a very helpful video! Thank you! 👏🏻
Great video. I haven't purchased a TESLA yet but plan on my first being the 3 or the Y and I'm sure there will be little difference for the Y. Thanks again. I look forward to your next video.
Excellent video Thank you very much, very useful, please keep up the great work, thank you again
Muy buen video, bastante información pero fácil de entender! 👍🏽👍🏽
Excellent video! Great information!
That was really outstanding! Thank you very much for this informative video
Great video, thank you! I recently ordered HEPA filters on Amazon for much less money thankfully
Very useful, thank you for showing this.
Great info/video, thanks! Now I know!!
Thanks for your video. Good stuff. Model 3 on order, LR AWD, Midnight Silver, black interior.
Thx for this update.
Outstanding and comforting. Bravo and thanks. One more reason ICE is going to be crushed!
Thanks for a great video!
very nice video for owners that's just hitting year 2! I guess now I can just go in for HW3 and some other small issues beside the whole year 2 maintenance lol
Excellent video!
Great video, very helpful sir!
Not an owner yet but this was great. Thank you.
Great video, I'll be saving it.
great video, thank you!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to get a tesla, but just looking at all the cons before all the pros.
Thanks for the great information
Great information- thanks
Sounds way more inline with my thoughts on EV maintenance vs. ICE vehicles. Thanks!
You Rock Dude, needs to be said!
Grat Job! I don’t know what your buying for washer fluid but $12.00 is a crazy price. Best info was on testing break fluids. Thanks for that. Paul b
Great video and thanks for all the information.
Great video.
Nice video. I noticed a leaf 🍁 in your air inlet tunnel. 😀
Another great video FTG!!!
Thank you so much for this video! Much appreciated 😀
Great video 👍
Great video!!! I’m gonna start saving up for my Tesla model y after I go to the special program that teach people with disabilities how to drive, I have cerebral palsy I use a walker and wheelchair!
It could be Full Self Driving by then, I think end of the year. I know ICE cars can have hand throttles, maybe a lever that parallels the throttle peddle on the left hand side of the console. Best of luck with this.
@@bohicajohnson7203 ok thanks
Darrion Tunstall how many times you have to tell people this exact same thing on every video
Another great video straight forward and easy to follow. Thanks, Mike. We don't have a service center here in New Mexico (due to antiquated laws and the influence of the auto dealers association) so getting Tesla service done is tricky.
Sorry to hear that Roland. I love New Mexico! Went to Santa Fe High School in the late 80’s and college in Portales!
@@FrugalTeslaGuy I live in Albuquerque and have been here for over 20 years but went to high school and college in Southern California. I am a member of the Tesla Owners Club of New Mexico and have ordered a Model Y and now the long wait begins....Oh, and by the way, my EV Power Share Smart 1030 arrived this week thanks to your review. Now I have this months before my car!
Improvement with the realistic service schedule. Main cost is brake pads and discs. I still have trouble accepting discs have to be changed with pads. No way pads can wear out metal discs.
Well I can honestly say I barely ever use the brakes on my Model 3 as I use the One Pedal setting.
Thanks for doing this! I believe in the new numbers for the most part. I've even created my own spreadsheet to keep track. However, I will happily have my tires rotated far more often than 12k miles...eek. That has to be based on the stock tires only, in the best of conditions and not driving aggressively...right? I drive this car far more aggressively than I did my Pontiac Vibe and adhered to a strict schedule for rotations with it and my tires always wore completely evenly. Plus, I have a set of winter tires for my Model 3 Dual Motor, so I'll automatically rotate every spring when the winter tires come off in March. Then, I'll probably need to rotate by the end of July since I drive so much.
As for the washer fluid...yikes, where are you buying washer fluid?!?! I stock up when it's cheap and get 3-4 gallons for that same price. Living in Chicagoland requires a lot more washer fluid and different types for the seasons...
Thank you…
Thanks!
Nicely done …. All makes sense now
Great video. I've had my model 3 for 8 months, but have 22,000 miles on it. I was going to look up and see what, if any maintained was needed. BTW you only counted 1 bottle of washer fluid in 6 years. I would count 2 bottles per year
Good Info.....Thanks!
I didn't know about the brake fluid tester strips. I had the battery tester already. Love buying new kit though. Good times.
A common repair is replacing the upper control arms. I've replaced both in my 3 already at 95k kms. It's a heavy car and a performance suspension. About $500CDN x 2. Tech told me that it's very common, he stocks the parts and I was the highest mileage he had worked on, we were the first 3 out of warranty he had seen.
My son has an auto repair shop. Part of any routine maintenance they do exactly what you showed. Never flush unless there is an issue. Inspecting rotors is also important. Tire pressure monitoring saves money too
Great video & perfect breakdown! I think Tesla changed these maintenance schedules because they weren’t 100% sure or didn’t realize how many cars they would sell (just my opinion). Also I think the washing fluid can be purchased for a lot less. Love the idea of getting your own testers 👍 I can’t imagine the body work/window replacement for the cyber truck 🤔 that’s a whole different topic 🙈. Drive safe ⚡️
The washer fluid depends heavily on where you live as well. When I lived in Phoenix it hardly ever rains and there’s no winter to speak of unless you never wash your car the stuff will probably evaporate before it could be used up. However when I lived in Alaska then later Utah I had to buy the stuff like crazy especially in the winter.
I notice on tire rotations the manual also indicates as needed by wear differences- "if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater.". This will most likely be the more frequent need for rotations depending on the way the owner drives. I know in my LR Rwd Model 3 with 19400 miles, I rotated at the original recommendation of 6250 miles but haven't since because I keep a log of tread wear and I'm just now down to a 2/32 in. difference between front at 5/32" and rear at 3/32". Since they recommend replacing at 3/32" when wear bars become visible, I plan to replace them very soon. A video showing the use of a tire depth gauge (as you demonstrated for checking the brake fluid) would probably help folks too.
Still waiting on my Model 3. All these videos online have me excited.
Lucky man
Melvin Scott it won’t disappoint man...I’m 2 years in and still love every opportunity I have to drive. For me the novelty of a new car always wears out after 6 months. This is a new ballgame
Have you ever considered doing a podcast? Your voice is perfect for it.
You nailed it perfectly. He works in the media industry, T.V. station.
Service agreement in Norway for 5 years/100.000km is 2000USD. I still think it is ridiculous expensive for an EV...
Great video.
Brake fluid change intervals are variable depending on ambient humidity. It does not need to be done as much in Arizona as opposed to Louisiana. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and thats what causes it to lose effectiveness against heat soak. So you could be good at six years in a dry environment, or two years in a humid one.
That is just one more bonus for having a Tesla Model 3. Relatively high up front costs but very low running costs.
Afternoon. So, on Friday, Tesla finally installed the HW 3.0 in my P3D, and I was excited about it... but, I also noticed that I needed an alignment. That was going to be a $146 cost. Plus a balancing for an additional $97. So I immediately started calling discount tire, Pepboys, Sears, and Walmart.. and all of them said they charge 109 for alignment and 20 for balancing... BUT, they do NOT service Tesla’s at all... that was a blow to the guy. So I had to settle for doing the alignment with Tesla. But the balancing I’m going to do it myself. Paying $97 for a balance is outrageous amount of money. Now granted I know $97 is not a crazy amount when knowing it’s being charged by a manufacturer that has a monopoly on the service. But, I guess it is what it is for now. Now, what truly got to me, was the shitty service they provided. When I receive my vehicle, there was mud and dirt all over my carpet’s, my dash cams were all unplugged from the USB ports. And my suit and tie we’re on the ground wrinkled. They didn’t even have the courtesy to at least vacuum the floors for all the dirt they left behind and hang up my suit where I had it. They just left it on the floor wrinkled up as if they were stepping on it while doing diagnostics... I complained and told them that was f...g stupid service and they should know better than that. I made them vacuum. And they told me “we are responsible for what’s in your car”.. I told them, “ just because you’re not responsible for what’s inside the car, doesn’t mean you can’t have the courtesy of being respectful of what’s inside the car. If you see a suit don’t toss it on the ground. Have the courtesy to put it on the side and then put it back on the hook when you’re done with your service. It doesn’t take much to do something like that. Also, do you know you can put paper on top of the carpets just like any dealership does, to avoid dirty in them. And if you do dirty the carpets, have the courtesy to vacuum what you left behind. As you vacuum all of the cars that you do detail for, why wouldn’t you do that to the cars that you dirty during service? Lexus does it, BMW does, Mercedes does it.. hell, even Toyota and Nissan do it... are you that cheap that you can’t put paper on the carpets to avoid dirtying them?” Sometimes Tesla makes it very hard to defend them and speak great things about them, when they perform this type of shitty service. I go out of my way to promote their brand and say how amazing they are, and they in turn f..k me over like this and still avoid holding themselves accountable for the shitty service. Seriously tesla? YOU.ARE.WRONG.. for doing this. And this is the SECOND TIME they do this to me during service. That’s why I avoid at all costs to go into the service center.
DavinMMA were you contacted to have your retrofit done? Or did you go through the app and request the HW3 update?
@@iworkhard2013 i went through the app and i demanded i get the hardware... i told them when i got the car and i mentioned that others that got the car after me were already being upgraded.... and within 24hrs, they had me scheduled.
While in for warranty work they suggested rotating tires and wanted $75. I laughed and said I’d take care of it myself.
@@bepowerful2160 same here. Rotating is not worth 75. That doesn’t require heavy machinery besides a simple Jack. And most people should be educated in this to save money. Discount tire will rotate for free and balance. Even if you don’t have insurance with them.
And if you have insurance then take care of everything on the house.
Which reminds me, I’m soon going to need to exchange my tires for FREE. 😉
There is a log book service for tesla in Australia
You may also need to check and maybee change the brake discs and brake pads. Since you use the one pedal driving they may erode/rust
very cool
I'd probably spend $15 for washer fluid over the course of six years. I live in PA where we can see all four seasons in a week some times! I've gone through a gallon of washer fluid in winter before too if it's really bad. I don't think I've paid more than $3 for a gallon, even the Rain-X is fairly cheap. But hey, I'd love to get my hands on a Model 3
I would just add the 12V battery which might be replaced once before 6 years. But all in all, great video bud!
The battery is an AGM (Absorbed Glass Matt) variety. They aren't like lead acid starter batteries or even lead acid deep cycle batteries. They behave much more like Li-ion in that they don't drain charge, have a wider range of charge level before the voltage drops and have high number of cycles. Add to this that it is hooked up to a huge Li-ion battery means it barely even cycles and it treated like a baby. That said, they can still go bad, but I would expect you can get well above the average 6-8 years you get in a gas car with an AGM battery that is well maintained.
I doubt it since it doesn’t see high heat from an ICE and is AGM. It also doesn’t see high loads like start stop ICEs.
@@gregb7353 The battery runs the entire 12V for the car, it charges/discharges a lot. 12V=computers,stereo,power steering, all electronics besides the drive units. I would expect to change it 2-3 times over life of the car.
Since you're mentioning washer fluid, you might as well add windshield wipers to the list. Not that's it's much anyway.
Seeing this video makes me happy, as I'm a Model 3 owner myself. :)
That’s great too hear the upfront costs is high but over 6 years the model three is cheaper too operated and ends up costing less the a $25,000 Toyota Camry.
Great video....but you forgot tires. This all depends on how one drives. If you like to peel out constantly then one will need to replace tires.
Tires can range from $500 on the cheap end to $1100 on the top end. Again, depends on how one drives.
Also, you may wanna test that brake fluid at the bleeder screw and not the reservoir. The water and corrosion will end up there.
My 2009 Toyota Prius still has original brake pads, brake fluid, coolant, etc. 230,000+ miles on the odometer. Unfortunately the Prius reputation is not as good today. I’m hoping my Tesla Model 3 does as well as my Prius has.
You could use the coolant half of the strip to test..... the battery coolant. The coolant is pink, I guess it is the OAT coolant, which can last for 8 years in an ICE vehicle. You can rotate the tyres yourself. You can flush the brake fluid yourself.
How about spark plugs and distributor cap & points?
Also mufflers usually rust out in six years.
Comparatively doing just (JUST) oil and filter changes for my car roughly is $1000+ after 6 years. Gas roughly 10k over 6 years.
What affect is there with the new heat pump? More or fewer desiccant bag changes?
Hey FTG,
FYC ... In Canada, I have a 2012 Model-S with ~221,000 Kms on it. Since the warranty end on everything except the drive unit and battery due high mileage 2 years ago I have needed to fix only two things out of pocket ... rear air sockets and a battery heat. One thing to note is that Tesla is now charging a minimum $350 Diagostic Charge (2 hrs of labour) for any repair request.
Wheel alignment is missing. My car was off after a hard winter, thus my new tires did not wear well. It looks like the alignment attachments were not torqued right from the start.
Good video
The old brake fluid flush every 2 years was ridiculous.
Great video but I’d add the cost of replacing the tires (especially after six years)
My model S P85, bought 3/2014 never got any maintenance at all in more than 7 years. I drive always with care on the cruise control. Hardly ever I use the brakes. Top speeds around 110 km/h , I some times switch on AC , drive with pretty low cabin temp. Almost never use windshield wipers (Rain-X) , never replaced the wipers. Car always is in the garage and is not used when snow or ice is in the streets. My car is still new at 120.000 km . I once bought 2 new tires and now , using winter tires for appr. 20.000 km in total I need 2 pcs summer tires. Average power consumption 165 Wh every year since 2014.
No braking means almost new brakes and no tire wear. No power costs as I use my solar panels to charge every time the sun shines and only on road trips free supercharging, so no costs at all. My range max is now still 400 km on one charge when I do a 100% , I prefer however to always keep the battery on 60 to 70% max when I do local trips. This car is amazing, only one repair in 7 years....the battery heater in 12/2020....€ 750,= , that's all in 7 years time.
This is Casey Casem, Now back to our show.
not sure abt the battery coolant. assume its similar to ice's anti-freeze, they do need to be replaced every few years.
I bought a Nissan Leaf 3 years ago with 38 K miles ( 2015 SV $ 9,000. ) . So far my maintenance has been adding some washer fluid ( for which I bought a gallon at the local $1 discount store for . . . . . $1 ) and it did not need but a cups worth . Checking tire pressures about once a month and add as necessary ( have a 2 HP compressor in garage ) .
And . . . . that's it . Kept in garage so wiper blades still like new ( no sun degradation ) Concrete floor in garage helps keep it's traction battery cool even mid-summer. Now if I can find someone that wants/needs my 1963 Ford F-100 pick-up truck for sale . ! !
How do you like your leaf overall? Decent range?
Did they happen to tell you if you get a warning on screen that the battery coolant needs replacing. Or else how would we know
I’m glad to see brake fluid change has gone from replace, to test first and replace if needed. My suspicion would be can you expect an unbiased opinion from a T SC? Battery coolant is much more critical and I’d leave that up to it’s recommended intervals. I have read it may be prudent to do the schedule maintenance before the warranty expires then if there are serious issues discovered it would be covered. I seldom step on my brakes and my M3 typically only sees summer conditions so I think the brake fluid should be good almost forever. I do however rotate tires every 6250 miles after buying a service package from a local tire shop. $80 for the life of the tire(s) includes rotation road hazard replacement & puncture repair. I don’t understand why this would be scaled back. I really really doubt these adjustments would be to lightened the load of the service centers. That has to be a cash cow and hiring more techs and adding a few bays would seem an easy way to keep up.
A desiccant bag should easily be "recharged" by placing in a low temp (250F) oven for a couple of hours.
Great video but my washer fluid is $1 :P
I'm thinking of buying a used Model S 2014-2016. Is any year model S better to buy? And is the maintenance cost not as much? This would be my first EV and I live in FL. I would ideally want a model S performance and is there options for extended warranty (aftermarket)? Any advice/answers would be helpful, thanks!
Wow thats impressive for the Model 3, my Nissan Leaf has cost me a small fortune in the 4 years of ownership its cost me $30 for gear reduction fluid and $20 for a cabin air filter, the only other costs have been $10 per week in power and tyres and wheel alignment, such a ripoff having to pay $50 maintenance in 4 years! :-(
Greg well,your car is cheap so thats expected 😂
