Your video is so timely, I drove a Tesla 3 for the 1st time last week as a rental. It was a mistake! I was in Calgary and going to Montana. There were barely any Tesla Superchargers including one that did NOT exist when I got to it. I had to go to the next one and had 5% battery left when I got there! Stress and anxiety through the roof!! But driving it is amazing (crazy acceleration)! Not sure I'd buy one though until chargers become more mainstream, especially because of the winter, as you mentioned!
Right now I'm debating between going full EV with a Tesla Model 3. I can pick one up, a 2022 with 40,000 km for $35,000.00. Or go with a 2022 Toyota Prius Prime that would be about $31,000.00 with even lower mileage. The insurance for me with the Tesla would be 2600 a year and the Prius 1750 a year. My biggest issue is the battery depletion because I keep my cars for a long time and I put about 42-43000 km on the vehicle I want to make sure it lasts with minimal issues. Toyota is well known for the reliability whereas Tesla because they are so new is not right now.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on owning your Tesla. Yes the winters in Canada reduce the range but it is manageable. I have a KIA EV6 and live in Eastern Canada and love it. At -25c I am getting 359km range and currently at 15c and with a 90% charge I get 450km. It is costing me approx. $30/month charging at home (.12/kwh rate in NB). It costs me $40 in gas to fill my Harley Davidson and that doesn't last a day of cruising. I love Tesla's but did decide on the EV6. Cheers and looking forward to watching more of your content.
I want to buy Tesla but I don’t know I can charge at home or not as I don’t. Own home rent so I think have to charge from outside so if I charge outside will it cost more ?
Yes! Driving my Tesla is just SUPER fun. I had a Model 3 standard range plus, and now own the long-range. Loved them both!! The heated seats and heated steering wheel make the lower Canadian temps just fine, but it also helps to be able to plug it in at work and to have a heated garage ;) A Tesla only makes a bit more sense for someone who can charge it at home, but a plug-in hybrid is likely the best bet for most ppl most of the time. Definitely love my Tesla though!! It definitely is like driving a spaceship! I will say that I've always been against buying a new vehicle because of the instant depreciation, but the Tesla really have held their own and has been much appreciated! lol.
I got an insurance quote in Ontario for the cheapest Model Y $360/month. Compared with new Corolla Cross Hybrid $120. I don't think any gas or oil change savings will pay for that.
Hello, I am from Quebec also, I wanted to know the incentive were applied at point of sale for both Federal and Provincial or you had to pay and get reimbursed? Thanks
In QC, where this car is registered, you pay an additional fee on cars over $40k. saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/vehicle-registration/additional-registration-fee-luxury-vehicles
Quite a bit cheaper most likely, it really depends on the vehicle because some classify Tesla as a luxury brand. So say you wanted to ensure an Infiniti you would probably be paying similar.
I've been wanting a Tesla for several years now but I tend to buy new cars and keep them for 10 to 12 years or more and my current car is just approaching this. I wonder what your experience has been with service at Tesla. A couple of months ago I went to the OttawaTesla showroom to get answers to a few questions and was underwhelmed by the reception I got. They did not know that, but I had resolved to order upon my return home. They seemed so uninterested in answering my questions that it gave me pause - not a good indication of future service. I am also hoping that the new LFP batteries will at least partially address the winter driving range reduction. Thanks for the video, it's great to have honest local feedback.
Honestly, not great. I’ve had to wait 6 months to get collision done on my rear fender as there are only 2 shops in the region that are certified tesla.
@@GriffinMilks Thanks. It makes it a more difficult decision, but good to know At the very least I will have a closer look at the Ionic. The choice is rather limited as all other car manufacturers seem to be either reluctant to produce EVs or are incompetent (or both) at it!
2500 a year in ten years you are going to pay 30000, oh my that's a lot of money. 6000 plus 2500 that's 8500 plus charging and tires you are up to 10000 a year for a Tesla good luck with it.
I disagree about the designer Franz V.H. This guy used to design Mazdas his designs are mediocre at best and what most people tend to be trapped by is the badge the ora of Elon Musk that makes the brand more appealing, to the point where people are willing to bypass it's looks even if it's as atrocious as the Cybertruck, hence the amazing power of marketing but. If you look at the design at face value, under any other make, it's nothing special. The cars just don't look anywhere near as good as some of the European brands especially Italian or German cars while charging the same or more. They don't look better than Maserati, nor Jaguar, don't look better than Porsche or Landrover, hell they don't even look better than the new Mazdas! Have you seen the new Mazda roadster... kills the Tesla Roadster 2.
Before even watching the video I can tell you right off hand that the Tesla is definitely not worth it. You're concerned about gas cost or the environment than your best bet is to get a Honda or Toyota and run it into the ground.
That is very well said. These cars are nowhere near the quality of Honda or Toyota. My opinion is don't waste your money unless you have 60,000 lying around somewhere. Looks like this guy has lots of money and business expenses to right off...!!
@@cia9419What do you mean that's what Tesla geared these cars for. The Tesla Model 3 is equivalent to a brand new Honda civic and it's supposed to be affordable. The problem I'm finding is these cars are not always reliable and if something does go wrong the repairs are very expensive.

Yes, charging outside will cost you 3 to 4 times more than charging at your own home charger
You can use your voice commands to open glove box or assign your left scroll button to glove box.
Thanks for sharing your experience. What are the maintenance costs like? And from where do you get it serviced?
Tesla dealership. And not really any except for some suspension stuff that was covered on warranty
I wonder how often you're told you look like JT (Justin Timberlake)?

I want to buy but I don’t own home so I think it will difficult to charge
Now i'm confused about buying it or not 😮💨
The luxury tax is pure theft. Nowadays even base toyotas and hondas are worth more than 40k. How is the rav4 LE a luxury vehicle smh.
Couldn't agree more. The more you win the more you're taxed
I got an insurance quote in Ontario for the cheapest Model Y $360/month. Compared with new Corolla Cross Hybrid $120. I don't think any gas or oil change savings will pay for that.
Yea the issurance is brutal on tesla’s. One of the biggest cons
10:34 Actually there is an exemption for fully electric vehicles. The luxury tax starts at 75k.
Ok great! Thanks for the precision
Loooove our Tesla
Can you update Tesla Software using the built in Internet from the car, I live in a condo, am deciding buying a Tesla.
I believe so but not 100% sure. I always use my home Wifi Network
Hello, I am from Quebec also, I wanted to know the incentive were applied at point of sale for both Federal and Provincial or you had to pay and get reimbursed? Thanks
From what I can remember, I'm pretty sure the federal was applied at purchase and then the provincial I had to apply for and got a cheque un the mail
@@GriffinMilks amazing thank you!
Can’t wait to get mine ☺️
Did you get it? How has it been?
Hi there, could you please talk about write off as a self employed or business owner, I mean how much of that 60k were you able to write off?
Totally depends on the business use of the vehicle. Talk to your CPA about it
The luxury tax is for vehicles over 100k, what are you talking about?
In QC, where this car is registered, you pay an additional fee on cars over $40k. saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/vehicle-registration/additional-registration-fee-luxury-vehicles
Do you know what your insurance would be if you had an ICE car of similar price?
Quite a bit cheaper most likely, it really depends on the vehicle because some classify Tesla as a luxury brand. So say you wanted to ensure an Infiniti you would probably be paying similar.
Thanks for sharing!
05:00 Mercedes-Benz also got a great app for controlling the car like that.
Good to know!

good luck with it.
Definitely not cheap!
I like Elon but never buying a car that someone else can turn off remotely I wouldn't care if a charge lasted 5000 k's
whats the estimated battery life & cost to replace parts+labour?
No idea. Expensive AF do doubt
The road diss was called for
lol, sure was!

I have 95000 km on my 2021
How’s it holding up
@@GriffinMilks perfect just like new I’m in Toronto Canada with it.
I have to stop watching...I can't trust the opinion of someone wearing a turtle neck... just can't do it
😅
Dude your trunk is gross! lol
I know!! Terrible haha.
Bruh u talked about everything but the battery life
Actually, I spoke about the battery life quite a bit. You must have missed it
