Great video ! We just got a used 2022 tesla Model 3 long range/dual motors, with 90000 miles on it for the amazing price of $20000. The car still looks like new and it works flawlessly too. Anyway, hope you will enjoy your tesla for many years to come as well ! 👍
@@EmadBroCarvana, took me a while to shop around tho, they update their list constantly. Just check back every week to see what they have. Was a super easy process and they were great despite all the bad press they’ve had.
Just got a gorgeous deep blue, 1 owner, no accident 2022 Model 3 RWD for $27k with only 40k miles on it, under full warranty and has permanent FSD, max spec. MSRP is $65k on the window sticker. I got a insane deal for a car that is barely 2 years old haha. I love it.
@@peterzaref3996 Incorrect. In 2022, which was the model year I got, at the time it was configured it was sold for $65k all upgrades. That was the peak of Tesla car prices.
@@AlecWyld You got such an "insane deal" exactly because new ones are 38K which is what theyre worth. So the price of used had to drop as well. You didnt even get the 4k used EV tax credit lol
@@brett7011yeah any gas savings for me is wiped away by insurance increase and who knows how much I would spend on tires. If you drive 15,000 miles + /year then maybe you save vs a gas guzzling vehicle…
Keep in mind that degradation is not the only measurement of battery health. There's many reported cases of batteries in good working condition completely dying.
If it's a RWD Model S and not a dual motor.....be aware of the drive unit failures. I just sold my 2014 S last month and had 4 drive unit replacements over the years. The last one was out of warranty. They run coolant through the units and the seals within are a known issue. The last replacement was November of last year and they have a new, revised unit they are installing that bypasses the coolant through the unit. It's the "U" variant....U is in the part #. Good luck with your S....I loved mine. I'm replacing it with a M3P or a LR M3 as soon as rates come down to my liking!
Thank you for putting out this fine video to help those who are on the fence or who don't believe that buying a tesla on the cheap can be done. Cheers mate !
Damn man… the video production of this video is elite. Like a cable company made this. Kudos man. That’s a lot of post work right there lol. Congrats on the purchase. Question, you went for a van ish to a model 3. Is it bc you no longer need the storage space? That’s a big jump.
Thanks so much🙏 Really appreciate it. The majority of this was done in about a week too. Craaaazy post-hours fs. And yes! I wasn’t using the space as much and I’ve had budgets with shoots recently where it was better to just rent a van if needed. I only loaded it full about 4ish times per year.
You can get a NEMA 14-50 socket splitter and just plug it into your dryer outlet. The splitter will only allow one side to pull at once- if your dryer is on, it’s running the dryer; otherwise, it’s charging the Tesla. That’s what I would do, as a renter, and to me it pretty much makes the whole Level 2 charger “install” issue moot.
I also purchased a 2018 model 3 long range with FSD at 40,000 miles, paid about $18,000. I love it and the full self driving is amazing since I got the latest update.
I am TRULY considering a 2018 for about 22 with 57k! IS THIS A GOOD DEAL? I was going to lease a brand new EV6 or Ioniq 6, but after seeing these videos I have reconsidered.
Good job. I can echo your experience. In April, I bid on, and bought a 2018 Model 3 with 54,000 miles for $7800 at a salvage vehicle auction. It had been wrecked in the front. Every damaged part was bolt on. Parts cost me another $4,000. My son, who is a Tesla expert, and I (unskilled) did the work. It is rear wheel drive and long range with the FSD option. Truly, it is a very nice car. I am giving it to my 27 yo daughter. Last year, I installed a 240 volt charging station in my garage for my wife's 2023 Model Y. I did upgrade my solar system, so most of her driving is free. The car uses more than the home. Being in California does help.
Awesome video dude. I'm in the market for a used car and have watched tons of videos about different makes and models (I'm partial to the Audi SQ5) but watching your video convinced me Tesla is the way to go, mainly for the yearly cost. Keep making videos like this one. Thanks

I just got a 2018 model 3. Dual motor performance with fsd. $26k usd. Has 89k miles, crack on the screen, dent on the rocker under the driver door. Super happy. Just hard since I can't charge at my apartment.
Got 2019 Model 3 RWD with 29700 miles from Tesla. $25K less $4000 EV credit at purchase plus another $ 4,000 coming rebate from my utility = net $17K before taxes and registration. So only 5,000 miles per year. Do you think battery has been abused ? Car probably mostly in the garage.

Sharp car! I bought a 2018 Model 3 Performance last year. Totally love it. Can’t believe I can drive a car this nice for $30K. My home charging costs me $25-$30 per month in AZ.
Mijne (longrange 2019) with 140.000km also is brand New and still perfect. Degradation: arround 9 ~ 10%. But still around 67kwh usable battery. Is just perfect, interior and exterior, no maintenance till now, other than tires and windshield stuff. Would buy it again for sure.
Enjoyed the video. In CA, charging at home is about $100/month average. Much better than my previous $500 plus monthly gas bill. I would recommend installing a Tesla wall charger and charge at the highest 48amp setting which charges much the car much faster.
Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging.

Can easily find a 22/23 LR with low miles for under 30k. You can very easily buy a used Tesla that is 2-4 years old, drive it for a few years, then get a newer model every few years.
Should have talked that some people may qualify to up to $4k federal tax credit for used EVs under 25k that are at least 2 years old. Buyer need to be the second owner and make $75k or less of single or $150k or less if married.
Also just wanted to add my regular car is 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro X and once I got back from CA to TX and got in my truck I wanted to cry. I got so used to the Model 3 performance and ease of use my truck literally sucked in EVERY WAY. I have been looking for a Tesla ever since :))))
As somebody who is about to sell my 5.5yr old model 3 performance with 60k miles on it, I’m super disappointed in the range reduction. It needs charging twice on road trips it used to do off a single charge. The range is down noticeably although otherwise it has aged okay. I’m happy to be selling and moving to a more luxurious vehicle. In 2019 it was the best production car in the world, but boy the competition has caught up.
I got a 2015 i3 back in 2018 for less than a third of what it cost new. Though it's getting a little long in the tooth now, I still LOVE it. Built well, drives well and I've saved a ton of money over that time.
I bought a similar ‘18 long range rwd, 80k, 19” wheels, fsd. Purchased direct from Tesla late last year for 25000. Battery is 301 at 100%. I think Tesla’s build quality was at a peak these first couple years of model 3 production. One observation is that Tesla doesn’t change the cabin air filter as reconditioning. Also check the radiator/ heat exchanger for debris. Changing / cleaning both will greatly help your AC.
Mine have 222 333 km, 85% batteries efficiency. It’s a Model 3 LR RWD 2018. I paid it $19k CDN at the beginning of the month. She travelled the USA twice from Montreal.
I usually rent teslas when traveling. I have not had any issues on a 2 week trip with the car. I would charge for 20 min every 2 days. That’s it. Parked at the hotel and didn’t worry about it. I drove all around LA and Mira Loma and absolutely 0 issues. Even took it up the mountains. Guess what?! I ended up with more charge when I got back hahaha. Cuz the car charged the whole way down! I literally didn’t have to use brakes at all, the one pedal driving was amazing! It literally slowed down on its own. Also the car is so planted ( cuz of the battery ) u can corner it like it’s on rails. Holy crap that was fun!!!!
bought a long range 2019 model 3 AWD. it had 84k Km on the clock. love the thing and it smells of new and it feels pretty new. here's hoping it maintains itself well especially the battery. it's my biggest concern
Just purchased for $25k (no accidents and one owner ) the 2016 Model X 75D for our first electric vehicle. Going into it I knew we were going to take a hit on the range as it has 90k miles. This suv will be primarily used by my wife for commuting 15 miles each way to work and me doing errands around town and such. The range degradation is roughly 70 mile loss at 80% charge but we are ok with that. Hopefully in a few years we will upgrade to a more robust battery pack like the 100D if available. Just go into it with eye wide open and not expect it to go to the moon and back on a charge. The interior is impeccable as is the outside. Liking it so far. Honestly I'm waiting on solid state battery packs to come along. That will be a revolution.
I too have been weighing the pros and cons of buying a used Tesla. Google obviously watches everything that you do ( and they own TH-cam), so I’ve been on both CarGurus and Tesla’s website comparing “ Apple to apples. I’m pretty set on spending more to buy a car from Tesla, as they give an extended warranty on every used car that they sell.And , they have all the accessories you’re going to want at the pickup location. Thanks so much for this very informative video.Well Done!
Going on 3 years with my model 3. Most convenient car I’ve ever owned. Can’t remember the last time I’ve been to gas station and very low maintenance.. which consisted of windshield fluid so far
I bought a 2020 Model 3 Performance with 52,000 miles for $21,000. Awesome deal 💯. I love the convenience and performance this car provides at a crazy low price point.
Don’t forget the $4000 federal tax credit and state incentives. Looking at a $21,000 M3 from 2020 and after credits and incentives it should be about $10,000. Crazy deal.
Got a 2021 w 24k mi from Tesla, smells like it’s new still. I charge at home, and there’s two superchargers about 2mi away. Makes it more convenient than waiting at Costco for cheaper gas. And I’m always ready to go.
Seriously have been contemplating buying a Tesla. We live on a military base and don’t have to worry about utilities. Seems like a no brainer however my only concern is if I buy used. The battery warranty has been hesitating as knowing my luck I’ll get slapped with a bad one and have to pay out of pocket. Thanks for the great video as it really added some firepower to help convince the wife!
I've been thinking about buying a used Tesla. The prices of used ones has come down so much and I could use my Tesla for powering my house in Grid down situations really has me thinking about buying one.
Wow, your video popped up just when I needed it. I'm considering buying a 2018 Tesla 3 Dual Motor AWD Long Range. It's custom painted green and that's my primary worry. It is so hard to tell just how good the paint job is and whether that's going to be a problem down the road. Oh, only 34K miles, very clean black and white interior, and priced only a smidgen more than yours. That all said, I really love the color.
Dunno about the USA, but in the UK it’s not just the cost of electric (higher priced here) and tyres you have to worry about! Car insurance here especially for EV’s is extremely expensive! Plus whereas Road tax is/was free for an EV it won’t be soon!
Brady, you don't have to worry about getting a new Tesla because of the latest and greatest software updates. I still have my Chevy Blazer, but I am considering a pre-owned Tesla as opposed to a new Tesla for a weekend car.
I can't believe people buy NEW Teslas actually. The newer Model 3 and Model Y long range AWD version both see their range revised downward again just last week. And with Tesla recommended charging of no more than 80%, the stated range of Model Y LR AWD of 308 is reduced to 246 miles. That is not what we call a "long range" model. And if you get the Model Y LR AWD with the 20 inch rims and tires package, the range is further decreased to just 287 miles. and 80% recommended charging of that further reduce the usable range to 229 miles only. Forget it.
NEVER buy new. I bought a 2014 Model S back in 2019 for $41K and it was a bargain. Last week I sold it privately for $19K and bought a 2022 Model Y extended range AWD fully loaded (with FSD) for $41K.
Nice! I bought a 2014 Model S back in 2019 for $32k. I sold it last month for $17k. I'm going to replace it with either a 2022 or newer LR M3 or M3P as soon as rates fall to where I prefer them (had a 5% rate on the S, can't stomach double that with a 720+ score). Until then I'll drive my 1995 Lexus LS400 and wince once a week when I pull into the gas station and slide under it to change the oil periodically! Lol.
@@Fernie-vv2ei ....23k Canadian....how bad are your winters? Range loss in the winter is indeed a thing. Anyone who doesn't have the ability to charge at home AND has harsh winters to deal with....I tell them to think twice before buying an EV.
Your Tesla still has more range then my 2019 Hyundai Kona. Which had an original range of 256 Miles. I am still close to that . When my wife's ford is done we plan to buy a Tesla Y. And it will certainly be a second hand one. My Kona is as good as new after 5 years. I have no concerns buying second hand EV's. Good vid , thumbs up for this one.
For me just the savings on gas vs home charging will pay my entire car payment when I get a Tesla or any other BEV. I love my Toyota Sequoia but wont miss the $75 gas fillups
Looking at buying a 2020 model 3 LR early next year. My biggest concern is obviously the battery, but I've seen the prices have come down a lot, and so have the prices of used Teslas. I could buy a used model 3, and replace the battery for about the same price I could buy the Elantra N new, which is the car I was looking at.
Got a 2020 model S for 29k... I don't understand why they are so cheap. The car is insanely fast (not plaid but faster than any other car I've driven, ever), smooth, great stereo and has an app with tons of features.
I am looking at buying a Tesla for myself. The choice is a 2020 model with 80,000km or spend $10,000 more for a 21 model with 30,000km on the clock. Both contain autopilot. Both of them are from the Tesla dealership in Melbourne
Really terrific, concise accounting. I had to laugh tho when you asked if we thought you spent 30 40 or 50,000 on a 6 year old RWDM3. I was going to guess something in the low twenties to under 20.
I bought a three-year-old 2021 with 30,000 miles on it. There was no way that you would know it was a used vehicle from Tesla. It was that well taken care of.
There was a time when 6 years or 100k miles and the car was ready for scrap. Now, I am buying cars with 70k-120k miles. Haven't pulled trigger on ev yet.
Just bought a 2019 SR+ a month ago with 46k miles and I absolutely love it. Paid $20k for it. An incredible deal.
I'm not sure if that's a good deal, considering the prices of a brand new one.
That’s a solid deal! Great mileage and price

As somebody who is about to sell my 5.5yr old model 3 performance with 60k miles on it, I’m super disappointed in the range reduction. It needs charging twice on road trips it used to do off a single charge. The range is down noticeably although otherwise it has aged okay. I’m happy to be selling and moving to a more luxurious vehicle. In 2019 it was the best production car in the world, but boy the competition has caught up.
I got a 2015 i3 back in 2018 for less than a third of what it cost new. Though it's getting a little long in the tooth now, I still LOVE it. Built well, drives well and I've saved a ton of money over that time.
I bought my son a 22 performance Y today for only 32,000. Just picked it up an hour ago, man this car is freakin fast!
I bought a similar ‘18 long range rwd, 80k, 19” wheels, fsd. Purchased direct from Tesla late last year for 25000. Battery is 301 at 100%. I think Tesla’s build quality was at a peak these first couple years of model 3 production.
One observation is that Tesla doesn’t change the cabin air filter as reconditioning. Also check the radiator/ heat exchanger for debris. Changing / cleaning both will greatly help your AC.
I found a 2021 SR+ with the LFP battery and only 26k miles on. Got it for 25k. The low mileage & battery got me
Mine have 222 333 km, 85% batteries efficiency. It’s a Model 3 LR RWD 2018. I paid it $19k CDN at the beginning of the month. She travelled the USA twice from Montreal.
I usually rent teslas when traveling. I have not had any issues on a 2 week trip with the car. I would charge for 20 min every 2 days. That’s it. Parked at the hotel and didn’t worry about it.
I drove all around LA and Mira Loma and absolutely 0 issues. Even took it up the mountains. Guess what?! I ended up with more charge when I got back hahaha. Cuz the car charged the whole way down! I literally didn’t have to use brakes at all, the one pedal driving was amazing! It literally slowed down on its own. Also the car is so planted ( cuz of the battery ) u can corner it like it’s on rails. Holy crap that was fun!!!!
Just bought a 21 plate M3LR and it’s 50% better than I imagined
Just picked up a 2021 SR plus for 25 7k miles kinda nuts excited for it
Awsome video and incredibly informative. Keep up the good work, Brady.
Much appreciated! Will do🙏🙏
I have a 2018 TM3 and still drives like new.
It's crazy how well they hold up!
Same here, 82k miles. also got a 2023 Model Y LR.
Excellent video Brady, just subscribed!
bought a long range 2019 model 3 AWD. it had 84k Km on the clock. love the thing and it smells of new and it feels pretty new. here's hoping it maintains itself well especially the battery. it's my biggest concern
getting quoted $4000 for a charger is wild, our BP wallbox was under £400 around 4 years ago
Just bought a 2021 (which I recommend as that is when they put in the double pain glass with sound proofing) Model Y which was only 31K
Just purchased for $25k (no accidents and one owner ) the 2016 Model X 75D for our first electric vehicle. Going into it I knew we were going to take a hit on the range as it has 90k miles. This suv will be primarily used by my wife for commuting 15 miles each way to work and me doing errands around town and such. The range degradation is roughly 70 mile loss at 80% charge but we are ok with that. Hopefully in a few years we will upgrade to a more robust battery pack like the 100D if available. Just go into it with eye wide open and not expect it to go to the moon and back on a charge. The interior is impeccable as is the outside. Liking it so far.
Honestly I'm waiting on solid state battery packs to come along. That will be a revolution.
I’m still think about buying a used Tesla.
I think it’s worth it! Just make sure you balance the price and mileage and history.
I bought a 2016 Tesla Model S with 180,000 miles on it a few months ago, and so far I love it, and it runs like brand new
@@jrwrock3592 thanks for sharing.
What about the battery ?@@jrwrock3592
I too have been weighing the pros and cons of buying a used Tesla. Google obviously watches everything that you do ( and they own TH-cam), so I’ve been on both CarGurus and Tesla’s website comparing “ Apple to apples. I’m pretty set on spending more to buy a car from Tesla, as they give an extended warranty on every used car that they sell.And , they have all the accessories you’re going to want at the pickup location. Thanks so much for this very informative video.Well Done!
Going on 3 years with my model 3. Most convenient car I’ve ever owned. Can’t remember the last time I’ve been to gas station and very low maintenance.. which consisted of windshield fluid so far
I bought a 2020 Model 3 Performance with 52,000 miles for $21,000. Awesome deal 💯. I love the convenience and performance this car provides at a crazy low price point.
Thanks for Sharing I'm definitely looking at the tesla.
Don’t forget the $4000 federal tax credit and state incentives. Looking at a $21,000 M3 from 2020 and after credits and incentives it should be about $10,000. Crazy deal.
Can you qualify for those incentives for used vehicles?
Everyone don’t have a home to install a charger. Some people live on duplex properties and apartments.
Just purchased a 2019 model 3 dual motor long range with only 18k miles on it for 25k. I'm excited I watched this video
Got a 2021 w 24k mi from Tesla, smells like it’s new still. I charge at home, and there’s two superchargers about 2mi away. Makes it more convenient than waiting at Costco for cheaper gas. And I’m always ready to go.
Seriously have been contemplating buying a Tesla. We live on a military base and don’t have to worry about utilities. Seems like a no brainer however my only concern is if I buy used. The battery warranty has been hesitating as knowing my luck I’ll get slapped with a bad one and have to pay out of pocket. Thanks for the great video as it really added some firepower to help convince the wife!
Manifesting one in my near future 🤞🏽
I've been thinking about buying a used Tesla. The prices of used ones has come down so much and I could use my Tesla for powering my house in Grid down situations really has me thinking about buying one.
Just bought a 2023 G Wagon, it is a monster!
Thanks
I did the same thing. Bought a 2018 model 3. It came with FSD which surprised the hell out of me. Only 15k miles.
People don’t realize that ICE vehicles lose MPGs too, depending on how old the engine is and the maintenance being done.
Wow, your video popped up just when I needed it. I'm considering buying a 2018 Tesla 3 Dual Motor AWD Long Range. It's custom painted green and that's my primary worry. It is so hard to tell just how good the paint job is and whether that's going to be a problem down the road. Oh, only 34K miles, very clean black and white interior, and priced only a smidgen more than yours. That all said, I really love the color.
One of the best videos about tesla👍👏🏼
Dunno about the USA, but in the UK it’s not just the cost of electric (higher priced here) and tyres you have to worry about! Car insurance here especially for EV’s is extremely expensive! Plus whereas Road tax is/was free for an EV it won’t be soon!
Wow I live in Georgia too. Getting a used model 3 soon from Carvana.
In the UK you can now buy a used MS or M3 for
Yea I just picked up a 2019 SR+ a month ago for $21,700 with 39k on it. Jumped on the deals when the prices tanked. Super happy with it
Brady, you don't have to worry about getting a new Tesla because of the latest and greatest software updates. I still have my Chevy Blazer, but I am considering a pre-owned Tesla as opposed to a new Tesla for a weekend car.
He has an Intel processor. He'll miss out on some updates because he doesn't have a Ryzen chip.
My son. Performance Y 2022..he loves. Royal blue
Absolutely love this. I’ve just subscribed & will be watching your previous stuff & more. Thank you!
Loved this review !!!! Now I’m looking at used models via Telsa! Seems they give better pricing vs carmax ! And newer / used models 🎉
You got a new subscriber
Thank you so much!
I got a 2018 Model S 100D for $29.5k with 81k miles. Insane that when it came out, it was around $100k. Buying new is ridiculous.
bought a 2018 Model 3 Performance for $27k with 38k miles last week and i think its still flawless
I can't believe people buy NEW Teslas actually. The newer Model 3 and Model Y long range AWD version both see their range revised downward again just last week. And with Tesla recommended charging of no more than 80%, the stated range of Model Y LR AWD of 308 is reduced to 246 miles. That is not what we call a "long range" model. And if you get the Model Y LR AWD with the 20 inch rims and tires package, the range is further decreased to just 287 miles. and 80% recommended charging of that further reduce the usable range to 229 miles only. Forget it.
Picked up a 2019 model 3 SR for 19k. Definitely worth it
NEVER buy new. I bought a 2014 Model S back in 2019 for $41K and it was a bargain. Last week I sold it privately for $19K and bought a 2022 Model Y extended range AWD fully loaded (with FSD) for $41K.
Did you buy it privately or through a dealer?
I purchased brand new 2024 Y AWD LR for $40K after Fed EV credit. Sometimes new makes sense.
Nice! I bought a 2014 Model S back in 2019 for $32k. I sold it last month for $17k. I'm going to replace it with either a 2022 or newer LR M3 or M3P as soon as rates fall to where I prefer them (had a 5% rate on the S, can't stomach double that with a 720+ score). Until then I'll drive my 1995 Lexus LS400 and wince once a week when I pull into the gas station and slide under it to change the oil periodically! Lol.
I'm in a conundrum weather to buy a brand new mitsubishi mirage or a used tesla which would be about the same 23k canadian
@@Fernie-vv2ei ....23k Canadian....how bad are your winters? Range loss in the winter is indeed a thing. Anyone who doesn't have the ability to charge at home AND has harsh winters to deal with....I tell them to think twice before buying an EV.
Your Tesla still has more range then my 2019 Hyundai Kona. Which had an original range of 256 Miles. I am still close to that . When my wife's ford is done we plan to buy a Tesla Y. And it will certainly be a second hand one. My Kona is as good as new after 5 years. I have no concerns buying second hand EV's. Good vid , thumbs up for this one.
I'm torn. I've always bought used, but the new deals right now are tempting. But also I'll just drive that warranty away with my commute.
For me just the savings on gas vs home charging will pay my entire car payment when I get a Tesla or any other BEV. I love my Toyota Sequoia but wont miss the $75 gas fillups
Looking at buying a 2020 model 3 LR early next year. My biggest concern is obviously the battery, but I've seen the prices have come down a lot, and so have the prices of used Teslas. I could buy a used model 3, and replace the battery for about the same price I could buy the Elantra N new, which is the car I was looking at.
Amazing work on your video!!
Video, music and info! ❤ Mahalo!
Got a 2020 model S for 29k... I don't understand why they are so cheap. The car is insanely fast (not plaid but faster than any other car I've driven, ever), smooth, great stereo and has an app with tons of features.
I work for Tesla we’re just getting better and better as the years go by !!! Love my job ! You can buy a new Model Y for 43k in Europe.
I am looking at buying a Tesla for myself. The choice is a 2020 model with 80,000km or spend $10,000 more for a 21 model with 30,000km on the clock. Both contain autopilot. Both of them are from the Tesla dealership in Melbourne
On the face of it, what do you guys think?
Tesla is the best EV but from my personal experience, I won't recommend a Standard Plus version. If you want a used one, go for a long-range
Absolutely. Long Range all the way
Really terrific, concise accounting. I had to laugh tho when you asked if we thought you spent 30 40 or 50,000 on a 6 year old RWDM3. I was going to guess something in the low twenties to under 20.
I bought a three-year-old 2021 with 30,000 miles on it. There was no way that you would know it was a used vehicle from Tesla. It was that well taken care of.
Not Scout! 😩🖤 Hope he went to a good home.
This video is phenomenal Brady!
He did🥲 it was a bit bittersweet
And thank you so much!
A 6yo car is not old 😅 Great purchase 👍😊
There was a time when 6 years or 100k miles and the car was ready for scrap. Now, I am buying cars with 70k-120k miles. Haven't pulled trigger on ev yet.
The new highland puts the old model 3 to shame! I’ll buy one in a few years .
