What car were you driving before the Tesla or what ICE car would you have gotten instead? Why not fine tune your estimation? What is your estimate of your old car's mpg over the same trip and what was the cost of fuel in your area or along your road trip at the time of the trip? (Fuel cost * (Distance/Avg_mpg)= Cost per mile). $82/2k miles is the same as a 74mpg car at $3/gallon. How much money did you actually save in fuel?
I had a gas guzzling Infiniti, M35x. Since making this video I’ve actually done the math and I saved over $100. But you do have a valid point, not everyone is going to save that much. Still is cool though to see what the app is projecting.
Electric cars are kinda cool, but in my opinion it’s a fad. Over half of all ford dealers and all Buick dealers around the US have straight up opted out of selling them and it seems like sales are slowing. I just don’t see a future (a near one) where we are anywhere close to fully ev
Ford GM and the other dynorsours are pulling back because their vehicles aren t good enough to compete (they don t sell) and they lose tens of thousands of dollars for each EV they sell (because their EV manifactuaring process is antique and also need scale as a matter of principle to lower cost). Since they can t produce good vehicles people don t buy them (people still prefer their ICE options better then the EV's for good reason), meaning they can t scale production, meaning they can t lower cost, meaning selling EVs is gonna accelerate their bunkruptcy. And so they pull back, to limit their short term losses. Bunkruptcy is inevitable tho, if you can t produce affordable quality EVs comprable to market leaders. People want EVs, but good EVs. And the fact is, there are EVs now better then their ICE counterpart at a comprable price. 80% of vehicles sold in the world in 5 years will be electric, this is the adoption curve. The only thing that can slow it down is if companies can t produce enough. You say Ev adoption is slowing down, but Tesla model Y is on track to be the best selling vehicle in the world in 2023. Tesla sold 1.8 million EVs at over 40k dollar average price! What if there was a 20k dollar model Y?! EV demand is pretty much limitless at this point, companies "just" need to put together cars compelling to that demand.
I think we are a very long way away from full EV, in fact, I don’t think we will ever get to full EV adoption. I do think EVs will continue to become more popular though. Tesla does a good job. Going to be an interesting 20 years to see!
@@lucadellasciucca967 they are selling well because it’s a fad… of course sales will be inflated because the cheaper door of entry allows more people to get in on it. anyone I talk to about this topic says they aren’t interested in getting one. Humans are resistant to change. How exactly are some Evs that are better than ice at comparable price? It isn’t towing or long trips. The only real good use I could see for a ev would be something like a 100 mile or less (round trip) commute to a job or bouncing around in a city where you can charge it all the time. I would take the ease of filling a tank 10/10 times rather than having to worry about what charge level I’m at. Time is money and wasting time and money charging if you get caught with your pants down doesn’t justify the savings on petrol. Not to mention the control that the user has over repair and faults and the horrible build quality Tesla has…
In 1905 the horse & buggy owners were saying the same thing about ICE vehicles. Why would you possibly want a car that is cheaper to own, quieter, greener, faster, more fun to drive, can be refueled at home, much safer, more features, will drive autonomously, with less maintenance and less moving parts?

@@TechbyParker Let's say you would get 20mpg since it was presumably lots of highway driving on your road trip, at $3/gal that's $300/2kmi! If you got a similarly priced new car to your RWD Model 3, like a Mazda 3 or Honda Accord, with 28/37 mpg than at 35mpg that's $171/2k miles.

I definitely could fine tune…my previous car was an infinity m35x that got 18ish mpg 🤪

Wow, I probably saved a lot more than what Tesla is estimating 🫡
