Charging an EV - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
![[Live] : ONE 167 วันนี้!! "ตะวันฉาย vs โจ"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/D9_dvfIa6Ao/mqdefault.jpg)
The other evening I was at my Alma Mater’s men’s college basketball game. It was a very crisp night. I had parked about about 3/4ths of a mile away. (enjoy getting my steps in for the day). After the game ended, while still in the sports arena, I pulled out my smart phone to preheat my car. Also turned on the heated seat & heated steering wheel. When I got into my Model 3 it was nice & warm.
@@Freedom-IXOYE I paid significantly less than $60 k for my Model 3. This is just a single feature of a car that I really like. I am not part of the Tesla cult. If you have a car you like….that’s great.
I can’t believe this conversation is even necessary. If it isn’t apparent by now how EVs are like driving a space ship opposed to a horse and buggy I don’t know what to say to people.
@@Freedom-IXOYE Everything about the car is worth $44k+
@@24bergman so people with EV are upper class elites while us gas vehicle drivers are peasants? Just wow. 😯
@@24bergman Well, this is a transitional time for cars. It will take time for people to adapt….
The 1 pedal driving is my favorite and should be #10 on the list.
Another thing about emissions is the benefit of the “long tail pipe”. During the start of Covid in 2020 there were satellite images of the effect of people staying home versus those times when people were commuting to work showing levels of pollution in large cities. The effect was breathtaking to see the number of ICE vehicle‘s not driving. If we all drove EV‘s then we would permanently have a much cleaner environment in cities. And for those places where there are coal fired power plants (the end of the long tail pipe) to provide electricity, they are usually in rural areas and can disperse that pollution much more widely then we can in a confined city environment.
One of the biggest advantages for me is the one pedal driving. Rarely use the brakes thereby saving wear and tear on the pads.
Absolutely. The fun and the ease of one-pedal driving is hard to exaggerate. The economy is also a significant advantage. I just bought snow tires for one of my BEVs yesterday, and as the customer service person was summing up my visit, she mentioned that the brake pads were the exact same thickness as last fall.
She paused as what she had just said sunk in, then looked puzzled, and uncomfortable, as if she thought that the service crew had made a mistake in measuring the brake pads. I jumped in, and told her that this was not surprising, since I hardly ever touch my brakes, using regenerative braking, instead. She was astonished. "Oh! Wow! I didn't know that!" Few people outside of the BEV community do.
While this statement is true, the benefit is non existent as tires on EVs typically wear out 30-50% faster (I.e. from less miles) due to regenerative braking than ICE vehicles.
So you don’t save any money in the short or long run.
Model 3 owner here.
@@Alpha_David My understanding is that BEVs have increased tire wear due to the sheer weight of the vehicle, not regenerative braking. It's hard to imagine why regenerative braking would be harder on tires than friction braking. Hard braking or hard acceleration increase tire wear, of course, but in general, I would say that my regenerative braking is a little more gentle than friction braking, depending on the driver. Do you have a reference for your assertion that regenerative braking causes increased tire wear?
@@stevenblackthorne4790 I'm pretty sure it's just the weight that makes the tires so easily worn down
@@stevenblackthorne4790 what seems to wear my tires the fastest is a heavy right foot
Good list. But I would definitely add regenerative braking in the top group of advantages. You can drive for long periods without hitting your brakes. It's less tiring to use one pedal plus the car goes into hold at lights so there's no need to keep your foot on the brake there either. I know some drivers are initially intimidated by regen braking but it's not hard to get used to.
That’s not regenerative braking. 😂
@@anekinoo7 That is regen though, you hit the gas, let off and instead of immediately using your breaks in order to stop by friction and creating heat. You use the leftover motion from the wheels and let it roll so it goes back into the battery.
@@anekinoo7 Yes it is.
Regenerative braking is my favorite feature. If you ever charge to 100% it is deactivated until some of the battery is used
@@MooshMeat In cold weather the regen is also limited, although there are some workarounds. In my Tesla it gives a regen limited message if it's above s 90% charge.
I picked up 22 LR 3 today, dealer had 70 deliveries today and 55 yesterday. That's crazy.
Ryan - I did a bit of research on this and it turns out the state with the highest production of electricity by coal is Wyoming at 40% according to the EIA. Most of the country has switched over to natural gas, which has 50% less CO2 emissions than coal. Most states of a significant % of nuclear (10-30%) which is pretty clean but just not renewable. Most folks don't realize this because this switch is pretty recent - in 2006 coal by far the largest percentage of fuel for grid power, 5 years ago coal and natural gas were about even, now natural gas is in the lead. Probably the most compelling argument from anti-EV folks is the environmental impact of lithium mining and mining of rare earth materials - and the social issues around that too (child labor in the DRC). Tesla is making advances but there is still a long way to make EVs truly green. Of course, they are way greener than ICE vehicles.
In Costa Rica where I live, we have like 99% renewable energy. So I think getting an electric vehicle is kinda obvious here. And that’s from the energy coming from grid.
Coal down, gas up, cleaner but not clean. Where are renewables like wind, solar, and hydro?
@@MichaelBrown-kk6ck Renewables are coming long. It's hard to power such a large country on renewables right now, but we will get there - eventually.
@@JasonTaylor-po5xc No we won't, Solar wind and Hydro will never be enough to power the country alone. Look at what happened in Texas during the winter storm, their wind and solar production was pretty much halted due to the snow covering the solar panels and the temperatures freezing the turbines for wind. Right when that happened, people went inside to crank the heaters all at the same time causing a massive surge in power that the grid couldn't support because wind and solar failed them. You have to have other technologies like Nuclear be the primary source while wind solar and hydro can supplement. Otherwise, we'll rely on natural gas and other alternative fuels until we run out of them.
@@kingbran923 I think that is an oversimplification. There were many, many factors that played into the grid failure in Texas. Keep in mind that wind and solar are still a pretty small part of the grid. The Houston area just isn't well prepared for winter weather. So typical stuff like downed powerlines were more difficult to repair because of road conditions. Put that winter storm in Pensacola FL and you would end up with a similar result. For myself, I'm all for more green technologies - and for nuclear (fission and fusion), and even for cleaner fossil technologies.
For those of us in cold climates, EVs have almost instant heater operation. Also, for those who drive ICE cars with small engines on hot days, the electric motor driven AC compressor (in an EV) doesn’t load the powertrain down to keep the car cool.
My brothers asked me that recently . He hates the drag the AC puts on the performance of his ICE car. With EV, it has no affect. And yes, instant heat is great.
@@lemongavine Looking forward to instant heat when I get my Cybertruck.
Don’t recall which one but there was a small underpowered foreign car a few decades ago which had horrid hill climbing ability. People used to say it had a 10-speed tranny - five with AC on and five with AC off.
@@MichaelBrown-kk6ck Haha. That's great. I had a twin-cam 16-valve 1.6 litre car in the 80's and the AC had an Economy setting where the compressor would cycle on and off. I could feel it cycling because the car would slow-down (a lot) when it kicked on and speed-up as soon as it went off. I only used the AC when I was dressed-up and it was hot out. Otherwise, I couldn't stand the performance hit.

What do I love about my tesla I just got a few days ago, model 3 long range. The technology is amazing. It is so easy to use. Everything voice controlled. You don't even need to use your phone unless you want to make a call. The head lights are amazingly bright. The sound system is amazing. The one peddle driving once you get used to it is amazing. The cruise control that matches speed limit of area is very cool. the kids love all the funny features of the horn or emissons control. I tried youtube on it and it was very cool. I also really like how you can control everything from the app and it tells you cabin temperature so you know if you want ot warm it up or cool it off before you get in. The trunk opens and closes itself with push of a button. My car came without the usb ports but I put in a service request through the tesla app and someone is coming out 3 days after delivery to my house to put them in. I also had an issue with the seat stiching and will also be fixed. So far amazing car, it is better then I expected, it is a complete spoil me gift to myself. I bought it even though I never ridden in one or tried it out and im very happy with the purchase and will be buying nothing but tesla going forward.
Excellent, Ryan! Thanks.
Quietness is one of the biggest draws for me. However, curiously, on our O’Toyta Prius Prime, from inside the cabin, it’s not all that much quieter in EV mode than in hybrid mode, because:
- The engine is off much of the time even when *not* in EV mode,
- The engine is pretty darned quiet even when it is on, but most importantly, because:
- Everything else is so quiet that the sound we do hear is dominated by tire noise.
I think a mistake many people make is to think that they will be "filling up" an electric vehicle in the same manner they fill up an ICE vehicle.
ICE Vehicle usage whether on a road trip or not:
Wait until the vehicle has about 1/4 of a full tank. Drive up to gas station, insert the hose, wait until the tank is full.
Electric Vehicle not on a road trip (most of the time):
Plug in at home. Never have to wait for the vehicle to "fill up".
Electric Vehicle on a road trip:
Drive to a supercharger on the way to your eventual destination. Plug in and multitask (use the restroom, get some food, etc.) while probably not actually spending any time waiting for the vehicle to charge. Rinse repeat until you get to your destination.
I've very rarely had to wait even a few minutes for my car to charge. I've always spent far less on electricity than the equivalent on gas. Lastly, I've always arrived at my destination very close to the same amount of time it takes to get there with an ICE vehicle.
Note: If one charges foolishly (e.g. waiting at the supercharger until the car is > 80%), there are plenty of youtube videos explaining how to minimize your charging time by optimizing the charging speed, then one's charging time will greatly increase. You do have to know how to use the vehicle correctly. Either way, EV owners will pay far less than the equivalent in gas.
Yep! 💯
Everyone knows that EV charges mostly at home. People just don’t know it will take over 12hr to get to 80% from low. People think it’s quick fill up. People who travel will constantly look for a charge station or buy a mobile cable. EV for people that travel will have challenges.
@@danpaul4975 Well that's the annoying part. It would take me more than four charging stops to watch a single episode of Stargate. Damn car charges too fast.
Most people cannot afford a Tesla. The largest car market in USA is 'pre-owned'. I would love a Tesla but my 2003 Ford Focus is paid for long ago and insurance is minimal. Then there is the Elephant in the Room... taxes on the gasoline pays for roads and is a major source of government income. The plan is to tax the ev's on a per mile basis...it is a minor software upgrade....
In your video your Tesla passed a semi with 5 ICE generators on the flatbed. We build equivalent portable power units using reused li-ion battery packs - our silent generator has many of the same benefits you attribute to EVs. Eamon Ireland.
Not many people can fill up with gas at home...
I filled up with breakfast burritos & onion rings. The gas came later but I was home & it was free.
Sign up with a firm like Arcadia, and your Tesla can be charged from solar or wind power in your state. If I understand correctly, Arcadia guarantees that a solar or wind farm in your state can sell the power you need to the grid (e.g., forcing a natural gas power plant to idle instead of a solar farm). Arcadia costs a few dollars more per month until you get assigned to a community solar project, at which point you may start saving money.
I love my tesla model 3 dual motor car. It's by far the best car I have ever owned!
As a Nissan Leaf driver, I find the ability to charge at home while sleeping to be the most valuable.
Excellent video Ryan. Love your presentation style and flow. Your videos always appear effortless. 👍
Constant firmware updates that are free and add new features is a worthy mention.
Great review Ryan, just purchased my Model S back in January and I am in love with it 😍
It was mentioned that EVs are “greener” than gasoline cars even if the grid is “dirty”, but not further explained. One reason is that EVs are often 5 or even 6 times more efficient than typical gas cars. (My Maxima had a MPG in the low twenties, while my Model Y is in the mid 120’s MPG equivalent!)
And then, in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, even though gasoline is considerably cleaner than coal, a car engine is only 30 to 35% energy efficient, whereas a coal fired plant is around 45% energy efficient, resulting in the gasoline engine being about as bad as burning coal.
This is one of your absolute BEST videos Ryan.
Bravo my dude. 🔥🔥🔥
Great review Ryan - I plan on getting a Tesla for my next vehicle
The best benefit is "refilling the tank" when decelerating IMHO...
I watched this to feed my ego on how smart I was to order my Tesla, arriving in Dec but going to dealer to push to Jan so I get the EV credit
If you are not taking delivery within 3 days after your assigned VIN arrives at your service center the vehicle will get assigned to another customer, and you could end up waiting much longer than January before another VIN of your configuration is available
Thanks for making the point that even if cars are running off of electricity generated from coal, BEVs produce less pollution than ICE cars. The other thing that I would say is that even if the amount of pollution were exactly the same between those two alternatives, it is still a big benefit to emit that pollution in the hinterlands, instead of in densely populated city centers.
On average it works out to be roughly one third of the emission of ICE vehicles over the entire life of the EV
Coal will only be for a few more years.
Two items that I would add are regenerative braking (already mentioned in a couple of comments) and the 'hold' mode when the vehicle is stopped. If you are at a long red light or otherwise stopped for a long time, simply take foot off the accelerator pedal and the car will not move, and you don't have to keep your foot on the brake, even on a steep incline or decline roadway. Both of these features are unique to EVs and are GREAT features!
One big disadvantage to owning a Tesla is absolutely awful service. The worst imaginable. I've taken both my brand new S and Y in multiple times and nothing has been fixed. A mobile tech came to fix the charging door cover and did something to kill the entire car last Thursday. Tesla told me to call Tesla tow. Tow came and spent 2hrs and gave up saying it can't be towed from a normal parking garage spot. They keep closing the app chat with the service centers so nobody responds and I have to keep repeating the story to each new person. The service tech has no idea what to do because he keeps telling my assigned service station but they're not doing anything. They keep telling me to go in to service in person because theres no way to get someone on the phone but I also work full time and weekends so I don't have time to babysit Tesla service that doesn't seem to care at all.
Nobody at Tesla cares one bit about any customer. It's your responsibility to fix the car even when they break it. I've had teslas for four years now and it's been the same the whole time.
You really hit a home run with this video bro 💯💯
Good points!
My Tesla model 3 will arrive January / February. I want to support your efforts for the general public to consider electric cars. Charging overnight while you sleep is what we do to recharge our mobile phones so is a no brainer. For those worried about long distance, you should stop and rest every 2 or 3 hours to refresh yourself anyway, so you can coordinate with a recharge station visit. I live in an apartment building so recharging from roof solar panels is currently impossible, but my electricity retailer is inevitably moving away from fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives.
Like the look of your bookshelves. Are they available for sale on a particular website?
Love the low center of gravity. Handling is so fun.
Recently, catalytic converter thefts have become a fairly significant problem in my area (Honolulu, HI), and I’ve also been hearing that the thefts are problematic in California. Obviously, having an EV (I have a Nissan Leaf but am hoping to upgrade to a Tesla in the next couple years) means not having to worry about such thefts.
@ryanShaw I have been wanting a Tesla for sooo long so I appreciate this video that will make me confident about my purchase
Another nice thing about Teslas are the over the air updates which adds new features to the car over time, in addition to fixing software bugs. Disney+ for example was only added recently to Teslas. Not too many other automakers would be able or willing to do that, for now at least.
I also did two long road trips in my Model Y last summer, one to Yellowstone National Park, and another to the Grand Canyon. Both trips were around 8k miles/12.8k km round trip, and I had zero range anxiety the entire time, including driving through Arizona in August and the a/c keeping me comfortable. The only time I did a near 100% charge was prior to entering Yellowstone itself.
I used about 30-35% of the battery while in the park due to the relatively low 45 mph/72 kph speed limit, and mostly because of bison-related traffic jams.
I loved how Autopilot did the boring, mundane interstate driving, and at superchargers, I found the car often had enough battery to get to the next supercharger or hotel in the time I took to use the bathroom, stretch my legs, and grab a snack/drink. This also made me less tired overall since I didn't have to focus heavily on keeping the car in my lane and trying to figure out how fast the car in front was going.
Just discovered your channel. Pretty awesome man. New subscriber
I use to love the noise but getting older love the quiet lol
Great video and agree with every thing but one. My 2021 M3LR is as you say quite with stopped waiting at a red light. My 2021 MYLR however has a noise coming from the frunk. I'm suspecting it is the heat pump. I'm not the only one experiencing this but when I went to the nearest SC, I was told that it normal. Not sure if that is true since my M3 also has a heat pump and I do not hear the same noise. This noise takes away from lack of noise in the cabin when idle, something I do enjoy with my M3.
@@Rapido20 This video is about Tesla’s. Only someone who doesn’t own one might not recognize the reference. There is nothing in the video about BMW or anywhere in in discussion about this video. Sorry it confused you didn’t think BMW owners were trolling Tesla discussion videos.
Also, with regards to the battery, because of the low center of gravity it creates it gives the car great handling.
Excellent Video!!!!
Tesla safety is also improved by the fact that there isn't a 400 pound metal brick under the hood in front of you that could end up in your lap in an accident. Sure, they're designed to recess under the car in a forward collision but it's still a compromise.
Also, because there’s no engine, EVs have a better crumple zone.
My gas (petrol) bill went to zero when I bought my model Y and my electric bill went from $198pm to $111pm as I now charge my car overnight at 0.014c per KW.
Plus my dishwasher, clothes dryer and all my batteries are now on this rate instead of my previous $0.12c per KW.
One of the big advantages that you mentioned indirectly is starting a car in the garage to get it warm in the winter. In Calf, this is no big deal but in Ohio it is. My garage is attached to the house, this meant either pulling the car out of the garage or opening the garage door to preheat the car. Opening the garage door would still leave the garage full of fumes that I really don't want to breathe. Pulling the car outside to preheat it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a garage.
I am from Belgium and my model 3 is from March this year. We still don't have live streaming century-mode. will this also come to Europe Belgium.
I'm looking forward to taking delivery of my model 3 and charging it with the solar panels on my roof. I also look forward to burying the "gas" pedal to the floor every chance I get because I love torque, I will be getting the acceleration boost and other mods. The only thing Ive ever owned with wheels I didn't modify was my lawn mower.
Same .. between august and September for mine!
10. Bioweapon defence mode - filter out pollution from the ICE vehicle in front of you spewing it's poisonous fumes directly at you when stuck in traffic jams & slow moving traffic.
Ryan
Going to be first time buyer of a Y, when will Texas gigifactory be open ? If would prefer to get the car out of there. Potentially many updates with battery , assembly, paint options. When should I order. Really enjoy your updates.
Mark
I just topped off for the last time. I pick up my Model 3 right after Christmas. It's a somewhat surreal feeling.
I've had my Model 3 Dual Motor for 3 years now, and had a Model S for 5 years before that. My maintenance expenses for the 3 since I took delivery have been 1 gallon of windshield washer fluid, and two wiper blades. Maybe $80?
Where do you live that a gallon of windshield washer fluid and two wiper blades cost $80?
@@allterrainrandy2587 Well, it was more that the wiper blades are pretty expensive - you can only get them through Tesla, and I think they're like $70 or so. I could be remembering this wrong. My point was, my costs have been practically negligible.
I'm a fan and first tuned to your TH-cam before ordering Model3 SR Plus a year ago. Could you talk more about safety in front end collisions? Radar was damaged in a crash, so detectors were disabled. The vehicle in front was a huge black SUV but not an emergency vehicle.
In a Tesla at least, the "frunk", or front trunk, provides not just cargo space, but acts as a huge crumple zone, so that it distributes the energy from a crash around the car rather than into the cabin. There have been many videos where a Tesla was in an accident, and the occupants could often walk out of the vehicle on their own. Compare that to say, a gas SUV/truck that rolls over multiple times, and the occupants often needing assistance to get out, and hospitalization in some cases.
Another nice thing is the dash cam built into the car. And because it records from 4 different angles, in the event of an accident in which you weren't at fault, you can prove your innocence, instead of the "he said/she said" witness testimony.
There's a TH-cam channel called "Wham Baam Teslacam" that shows accidents and other interesting things done around a Tesla. In many of those videos, when another car crashed into the Tesla, the other driver claims that the Tesla driver was at fault. They often then looked shocked and change their tune when they find out the Tesla recorded the accident from four angles, and in some cases, the police will cite the other driver with causing the accident if the other driver claimed the Tesla was at fault.
It would be awesome if you posted links to your sources. I like to share some of your content with my EV doubting friends.
3:52 Omg I'm crying! He's such a cutie!! 😭😭😭
i have switch to EV sooner...but hope the price goes down...i think that is the main reason why most are not EV owners
Comparing vehicle fires between Teslas and "the average car on the road" is not a fair test. It would be MUCH more accurate to compare Teslas to other cars that cost upward of $50k and are less than four years old. The same is true for comparing accident rates.
I can't be the only person who's thought of this. The fact that I have heard of no such comparison makes me suspicious. Is someone hiding something?
Another big advantage for Teslas is over the air updates, making your older car, almost equivalent to a new car - including improving mileage over time. A great benefit of a car run by software which can be updated.
Hi i have a question, I ordered my model Y and I’am taking delivery next year by march/April
But my tesla account says credit offer expired
Why is that, i don’t want to re apply and then my credit gets a hard pull and decreases
Any advice?
Good list of advantages and yes, I agree with some of the other commentators that regen braking is a big advantage. My nitpick is the map you used at 2:26. That is an OLD map. I94 in ND and the Canada1 hwy in Canada now have you covered. That must be a 2020 map?
Great video.
Your first point is the thing that I believe is most misunderstood. All of the talk of needed 10's of thousands more public chargers distributed around the country really misses the point and reinforces the publics attitude about the inconvenience of EV's and EV charging. The primary focus should be on getting charging infrastructure in place for people who do not have a garage/home charging option (apartments/condos/workplaces). I bought my first EV (Mod 3) in September of 2019. At the time I, too, was worried about public charging infrastructure. After a week or so of having a fully charged car every morning I realized the amazing convenience of being able to charge my car at home. Yes, for the occasional long road trip I had to do a bit of advanced planning, but that is trivial compared to the every day convenience of charging at home. We are now a 2 EV household and couldn't imagine going back to regular stops at gas stations!
Well said! I would buy an EV tomorrow if I had home charging, but as a condo dweller I am dependent on public charging, which still is not at scale.
@@dan339g and even if public chargers were readily available, I think you’d get tired of sitting at a public charger to routinely charge.
Ryan it is clear you cannot get the Plaid out of your head... LOL.... Great Vid!
What’s the outlet switcher you use at home in conjunction with a dryer to charge the Tesla?
NeoCharge or SplitVolt.
The only thing I worry about is the possibility of fire. i get the statistics, but I still worry. I have a model 3 coming in mid Jan 22. I love all the benefits to me and to the earth, best being the gas and maintenance saving.
Ryan, I don't understand what you meant when you were talking about battery drain by leaving Sentry Mode on for a long period. You said this is something you can only do when you have a sizable battery to draw from or your car would have to be running all night long. I don't understand the part about having the car running all night long. Did you mean it would have to be plugged-in all night long?
I want to buy a new model Y but I’m trying to wait to see if air suspension is coming and if so when??? Do you have any info on this
From what I've read/watched, there is no communication from Tesla suggesting air suspension might become available on Model Y... the only hope is that some have found Model Y software source code that mentioned air suspension - so at least they are thinking about it.
Speed, 1pedal driving, pre heating, quiet, enviromental friendly, smart, space, it gets better with updates, simple, sentry mode, low maintance cost, big screen.. i mean the car drives itself there are too many benefits😄
The biggest benefit is watching Beemer drivers lose their mind everything you pown them at the stop lights
I love all of your constant and wash all of your videos. Can you make a video on the 2018 Tesla model three standard range versus the 2021 Tessa model three standard ranch with an entire list of every single thing that has been changed from the estimated mileage to the appearance both interior and exterior and also cover all of the hardware and every other big or small thing that has changed such as tinted windows the trunk lift gate etc.
I have been trying to find a TH-cam video that will compare it because I’m trying to see if I should buy a $30,000 long range 2018 model three over a standard range 2021 model three because I cannot afford the 2021 Long branch by everyone keeps telling me not to get a 2018 and then I have to buy a new. I just need help and I feel like a really thorough video would help out hundreds of thousands of people who are in the same situation I am
The reason it is a 2018 long range model three and a standard range 2021 Tesla model three it’s because the 2021 Long branch model three is way out of my budget and the standard ranch 2021 model three it’s about $45,000 in the long Range 2018 model three it’s only 30 grand
I noticed in your video the mount for the touch screen/iPad in the back seat…where did you get that; it’s a great solution for long distance trips and kids in the back.
That clip is from the new Model S Plaid. It’s capable of playing video games too (high end processor)
@@lemongavine Tesla might consider having an after market store for these types of things for all models.
So Tesla car is hybrid or just runs on electricity battery ?
Never paid attention but do Teslas have a lug wrench to remove a flat tire??? Thanks
Roger I was aware of the no spare/roadside asst. but wasn't sure of a lug wrench.......
If Tesla can find a way to reduce the cost of battery replacement, then I'm sold.
Ryan, love the work you do. I am starting a new channel and would love to pick your brain as to good practices. My perspective will be more of documentation of daily ownership.
Differences between the 2016 and 2021 models?
Is the streaming sentry mode on the app for tesla model 3's? Standard range?
Yes it’s a software update
What about all the minding for rare earth metals?
So when do Tesla use 12 volt battery?
#10….much lower drag coefficient 😃
Have the estimated delivery dates improved? I just ordered a Tesla y performance and I’m curious if I should anticipate a longer wait than my current Jan 9 - Feb 6th estimate.
There was another video he published this same day that addresses delivery times. The short answer is no they are not improving. The longer answer explorers the way vehicles come available as inventory
No sure, but the fact that you ordered a performance model helps. Tesla prioritizes P-models due to higher profit margin
No catalytic converter to steal either. I was without a car six days and had to pay the $500 deductible due to that.
Yes, I feel your pain. I had an attempt on my Catalytic Converter which rendered it undriveable and then while at the dealership to repair the CC was stolen! Out my deductible and a subsequent Cat Cover for some protection.
What I like about the Tesla's is: the car is silent, the super charing network, low maintenance, the camera system, the instant tork, be able to charge at home and not worry about going to a gas station, not worrying about oil changes, using the Tesla app to warm up my car, or even summon my car, the large panoramic room, the range, the sound system, the frunk, and hopefully Biden passes the 12,500 tax credit for all Teslas.
I'm Tesla owner and not a naysayer. But,,, if it's accurate that there are approximately 1.8 Billion ICE vehicles globally on the road displacing those with a lithium based battery component is more than daunting. If for example a BEV has 3,500 battery cells (or equivalent) in its pack and we aim at 100% conversion from ICE to EV that's something like 6.3 Trillion cells and likely a time frame of 20+ years. Continued innovation in battery energy is essential to accomplish this gargantuan goal.
great roundup of EV advances! Thank you!
@RyanShaw What if you do not have a home charger or in a building where you cannot have one installed. Would that be a deal breaker?
yeah, if thats the case, then its pretty useless
Ryan,
I have watched almost all of your videos - thanks for the great content.
I have ordered my Performance Model 3 - all in it is about $61,000 which is a lot for me. I am considering delaying the Dec 10 - Dec 31 delivery with the thought that I want either LFP or 4680 battery (even better).
I am not in a “Got to have it now” frame of mind. With a purchase this big I want the best possible Model 3 I can get.
Should I wait?
Thanks,
Robert

Doubtful you’d get LFP in the performance model. I believe Tesla is going to that chemistry only in the standard range models.
As a founder of a EV battery company. Point 7 isn't correct just yet. Right now 95% of ev batteries end up in landfills as recycling isn't sustainable/profitable yet. Luckily companies like Moment Energy are repurposing EV batteries to make them into stationary storage for homes, commercial buildings etc so that these batteries have an extra 10+ years of life before they get responsibility recycled.
Electric vehicles make too much sense.
1) So much energy is wasted in ICE cars via idling, lack of regenerative braking, and the impact they have on the climate.
2) EVs don't waste energy idling, and utilize so much more power considering the regenrative properties (energy is not lost as heat from braking), and the maintenance costs are zero to none.
i have the cyber truck pre ordered and was in at tesla the other day and they confirmed and said they were told that the truck will not be coming out this year, no surprise there..
The real question is if it will come out *next* year. I would't bet on it.
What if you don't have a driveway? What if you live in an apartment? What if you are visiting your Great Aunt for a weekend and she doesn't have a charger? What if you are low on charge and you forget to plug in or something goes wrong and it didn't charge and now you can't get to work on time because it will take a half hour to get just enough charge to get to work and then another half hour charge to get back home?
The point is that with gas I don't have to alter my life in any way based on my car's power requirements. Stopping at a gas station for 5 minutes every 2 weeks is not life-altering. Where I live or what type of home I live in or changing my routine just because of my car is an inconvenience.
Would you comment on the recent last place rating that Consumers Report gave Tesla in its reliability ratings of automobiles.
How dare you. All Teslas are reliable and perfectly built. The panel and windows misalignment are not there. I chose not to acknowledge it.
Really want to get a Tesla within the next couple of months. Saw the price increase I’m assuming due to chip shortages and at this stage it’s holding me back. It would be cheaper for me to lease one, but people say that’s the worst thing to do. Because of course I would be paying more over time. I’m really conflicted and hoping the price goes back down.
I have a new tesla 3 performance. I am considering ordering a model s long range. Which do you recommend? Advantages and disadvantages? Money is not the issue. Thanks
take the s long range and i can take the 3 performance from you, if money is not issue
S is better. Faster, more room, nicer interior, smoother ride (air suspension), more range. I’ve had S, X and 3. S is my favorite one.
While the Tesla supercharger network has been a significant advantage over other EV manufacturers, Tesla has announced that they will opening this network to non-Tesla EV's. Also, I just read that Tesla has changed the pricing of their superchargers that will result in a substantial cost increase to Tesla owners.
Is this true? Very disappointing if it is the case. If anything I would have thought opening up the supercharger network to other EVs would possibly lower the cost as they would be making more off the increased number of vehicles charging. Sigh.. 😔
I charge at work for free. Everyone that has an electric vehicle gets 4hrs of charging a day that equates to 80 miles.
Slow charger, I can get 140 miles on a 4hr charge at work
Awesome
I can't wait to drive a Tesla for Jimmy John's and not spend $500-750 a month on gas. I know that I could he's a more gas efficient car than my Mustang but otherwise I really would just keep using my Mustang.
Make sure you bring an extension cord and plug into 110v at JJs and wherever you go lol
Have you considered a conversion instead? Turn that Mustang into an EV. Significantly cheaper than a tesla.
@@eondrache7786 conversions are neither cheap or easy (unless you do most yourself and value your time at $0, but even then it’s expensive). May be different in a few years.
@@eondrache7786 it would still not be a tesla. Cheaper just to buy the real thing.
My $80k telsa is a huge gas saver compared to a $25k gas car. Pssssh saving big time money bro
Ordered a model 3 LR last month. Delivery says mid December. Debating if I should sell my gas vehicle or keep as a backup.
Used car prices are insane right now so maybe sell and if you really miss it buy one when the prices drop down again.
unless you do very frequent and very long roadtrips the model 3 lr will be more than sufficient with a decent amount of cargo space. If you are dependant on a lot of cargo space you could upgrade to the Model Y down the road.
@@BizzMRK I’m more concerned about snow and cold weather. How does it do in the snow and cold weather?
@@jimbeam4111 it definitely has reduced range in cold weather. For the model 3 lr in 0°C enviorments I would estimate roughly around 300-400km should be possible depending on how you are driving. Tesla Björn released a video today where he tested the Model 3 SR+ in Winter (1°C, wet conditions) and managed 350km at 90kph and 260km at 120kph.
The heatpump and battery heater do a good job of keeping range at a decent level and if weather is below freezing people tend to drive a bit slower than usual as well helping with range.
If you want a worst case scenario, I found a video a while back of someone testing the range of the 2021 Model 3 SR+ in canadian winter at -30°C and he still managed to drive 175km on a single charge. The LR would probably get around 200-250km in these extreme conditions.
@@jimbeam4111 Teslas are great in the snow, especially the dual motor variants
I know Tesla isn't perfect to say the least. But man, I just can't wait to get my new LR model S!
Me too 🤣. Mine arrives in 9 days and I’ve waited 11 months !
Ordered mine in february (in germany). Will be happy if i get it in the first quarter next year. When i ordered they still said august/september... well...
Ordered mine in February, the expected delivery should be in the second quarter 2022!! 😅
But, since I ordered it got up in price about 128%!! 😎🤟
So waiting patiently... 🤫
No car is perfect, but after owning more than a dozen Benz, I have to say their build quality in Germany is outstanding and surpasses my expectations. I’m expecting that same exceptional quality coming out of Tesla Berlin.
Picking up my ms LR today. Plan to arrive 45 mins early for extra inspection time.
Two things -
First was running the other day. Cars were passing me and the exhaust smelled bad, even in newer cars. Then two Teslas passed - so nice.
Second- say the word “nuclear”. It won’t hurt a bit. 20% of the US power comes from nuclear. This zero emission power source is a good compliment to EVs.
Insurance premiums are the only disadvantage that I see. Not sure, if it comes down over the next few years.
