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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.
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.
Got my 2019 Model 3 Performance last year and it has been flawless. A pleasure to drive and costs very little to run. (...and the acceleration always makes you smile...)
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.
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.
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.
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
Glad to hear it! Thank you so much. I’m actually meeting up with some folks and doing some roller shots today for another video! Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
Were you able to add any kind of extended warranty from Tesla or another company? Nice vid. Im looking to get one as i have already spent so much money on maintaining my gas powered car.
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.
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.
I just got a 2022 Model 3 SR for only $27 plus tax title etc. just over $30k out the door. Only has 13k miles on it. Smells new too. Absolutely flawless until my toddler got in it.
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.
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!
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.
Nice. I loved my Model S P90D but it wast totalled and am looking for a replacement vehicle. Maintentence and battery issues are my biggest concerns on a used Tesla. I would be buying a 2015-2018 depending on trim and price.
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.
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
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
I’m planning to buy a model 3 in near future. I have been wanting to buy a Tesla for a long time, but here in Australia, we didn’t have good network of charging stations up until recently. However I heard that using a supercharger makes battery degradation faster. I just wanted to know that did you use supercharger a lot? Do you charge up to 100% a lot? How many average battery percentage do you consume for your daily commute? Have you been keeping your battery charge between 30%-80% all the time? What is the average summer temperature in your area? What is the total mileage your car has done so far? Did you have any other maintenance in your car apart from replacing wiper blades and tyres? Have you ever had to do maintenance on suspension like shock absorbers, CV joint or bearings. I’m sorry I asked too many questions and I have more 😂. Anyway I want to tell you that quality of your content is very high end. I thought I’m watching a million subscribers top end TH-camr’s video and then realised you are new to this. However I want to say you did a very good job and I wish you all the best.
That's great and all but I'd be curious to find out how much you are paying to insure this "cheap" Tesla. I currently drive a Honda Accord and am paying about $1,500 for insurance. Called my insurance company to get a quote on covering an old Model 3. Cost was more than double of what I was paying for the Accord and the rise in insurance actually would have ate the savings on not using gas. So no thanks.
Sorry to hear that. Every insurance provider I’ve gotten quotes from for cars over the years has been pretty drastically different. There are lots of situations and factors at play too such as location. My insurance was half of what I was quoted at other providers. So I’m all in with Statefarm. They’re taken great care of me
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.
Smart Man! I bought a used 18,000 mile Tesla Long Range model Y with performance boost which is 100 hp extra and full self driving and it came with 20 inch wheels which look great but I rather have the 19 inch wheel for a smoother ride and more distance. I paid $35,000 in December 2023. Shortly after that we got these extremely low prices and low interest rates. I did get performance boost upgrade and full self driving for at least $20,000 less than if I bought a new one. That’s a huge discount from buying a brand new one with super low prices and discounts on interest! I probably could be the deal I got by $5000 just by shopping longer for the deal. I used to have the same model that you’re driving a long range 2018 model three. My daughter is driving it and I took it for a drive and it is so perfect and extremely fast even compared to my high horsepower model Y I like how the model Y sits up and you walk in and sit down and you have all the space in the back, but the big butt is I like the model three looks much much better and I like how you can carve the turns on mountain roads! Enjoy your new car. I know that my daughter‘s car hasn’t changed a bit since 2018. I kinda like the rear wheel drive by the way I like handles. Her car does not have a squeak or a rattle. It’s a solid as a brand new 2024 Tesla. Maybe two dB less quiet. Cheers, Daniel
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.
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.
You said you didn't pay $4k for the home install of the higher-end charger, what did it cost? That's a consideration for me Also, how long does it take to recharge it daily? Thanks for your video, it was helpful..
I have been looking at the used inventory that Tesla has because they will normally tack on a reasonable warranty on both the car and the battery. Something you won't get from a non-Tesla dealership. However, because of the terms & conditions with the current tax incentive, I would only benefit by getting a new Model 3. :-( Still, it is tempting and your video does a good job showing the good points of going with a used one. I already have a Level 2 in the garage for the PHEV that I own, so with either an old or new Tesla, I am all set in that department.
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot. I own a video production company here in Atlanta and I’ve been throwing the book at these videos as much as I can with coming back to TH-cam this year🙏
I just got a 19 Dual Motor LR. its pretty awesome paid 25k. 41k on the clock. FSD included. However..... I got it 1 month ago, and its loosing 1KWH of Nominal full pack per week. Thankfully Tesla has the warranty for 120k or 8 years. So when it fails It should be coved.
Just got myself a 2022' Model Y Performance w/26k miles for $32k and it's NOT a former rental car. To purchase this excact car new was over $60k in 2022'
Just bought a 2019 SR+ a month ago with 46k miles and I absolutely love it. Paid $20k for it. An incredible deal.

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
I want to see how the different models compare cost for a used. Thinking about a model X used but afraid of battery issues been older vehicle.
I’m looking at buying Used and was looking for a video like this on buying a 5+ years old Tesla and seeing how one’s opinion. Thank you
Great video. I just gave my ‘18 to my son as his first car. Absolutely agree, these are still amazing cars.
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.
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
Glad to hear it! Thank you so much. I’m actually meeting up with some folks and doing some roller shots today for another video!
Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with
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?
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.
Just bought a 21 plate M3LR and it’s 50% better than I imagined
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.
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.
For battery life I recommend you limit home daily charging to 30A
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
I just picked my 2018 tesla model 3 up and absolutely enjoy it.
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
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
Just got a model 3 2018, one user and in great shape. I’m in loveeeeee ❤
I did the same thing. Bought a 2018 model 3. It came with FSD which surprised the hell out of me. Only 15k miles.
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.
This is so well done, Brady!
Thank you so so much!!
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
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!
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.
Just picked up a 2021 SR plus for 25 7k miles kinda nuts excited for it
getting quoted $4000 for a charger is wild, our BP wallbox was under £400 around 4 years ago
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 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.
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.
Thanks for Sharing I'm definitely looking at the tesla.
People don’t realize that ICE vehicles lose MPGs too, depending on how old the engine is and the maintenance being done.
In the UK you can now buy a used MS or M3 for
Were you able to add any kind of extended warranty from Tesla or another company? Nice vid. Im looking to get one as i have already spent so much money on maintaining my gas powered car.
Wow I live in Georgia too. Getting a used model 3 soon from Carvana.
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.
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.
The quality of this video speaks for itself! I love it.
I just got a 2022 Model 3 SR for only $27 plus tax title etc. just over $30k out the door. Only has 13k miles on it. Smells new too. Absolutely flawless until my toddler got in it.
bought a 2018 Model 3 Performance for $27k with 38k miles last week and i think its still flawless
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
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.
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!
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.
Nice. I loved my Model S P90D but it wast totalled and am looking for a replacement vehicle. Maintentence and battery issues are my biggest concerns on a used Tesla. I would be buying a 2015-2018 depending on trim and price.
Loved this review !!!! Now I’m looking at used models via Telsa! Seems they give better pricing vs carmax ! And newer / used models 🎉
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.
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
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.
Just picked up a 2019 Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range for 12k even with 120k miles
Great deal still gets 270 miles on a charge
Excellent video Brady, just subscribed!
Great video! Can you please share your source of finding the used Tesla? Also I’m looking for a used Tesla that is capable of subscribing to the FSD.
Used inventory at Tesla!

@@ClipPlayTV Thanks
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?
My son. Performance Y 2022..he loves. Royal blue
I’m planning to buy a model 3 in near future. I have been wanting to buy a Tesla for a long time, but here in Australia, we didn’t have good network of charging stations up until recently. However I heard that using a supercharger makes battery degradation faster. I just wanted to know that did you use supercharger a lot? Do you charge up to 100% a lot? How many average battery percentage do you consume for your daily commute? Have you been keeping your battery charge between 30%-80% all the time? What is the average summer temperature in your area? What is the total mileage your car has done so far? Did you have any other maintenance in your car apart from replacing wiper blades and tyres? Have you ever had to do maintenance on suspension like shock absorbers, CV joint or bearings. I’m sorry I asked too many questions and I have more 😂. Anyway I want to tell you that quality of your content is very high end. I thought I’m watching a million subscribers top end TH-camr’s video and then realised you are new to this. However I want to say you did a very good job and I wish you all the best.
Easier to state your usage pattern. I wouldn't worry too much about it...
That's great and all but I'd be curious to find out how much you are paying to insure this "cheap" Tesla. I currently drive a Honda Accord and am paying about $1,500 for insurance. Called my insurance company to get a quote on covering an old Model 3. Cost was more than double of what I was paying for the Accord and the rise in insurance actually would have ate the savings on not using gas. So no thanks.
Insuring my Tesla model 3 is about $900/year. Same as my Acura.
Sorry to hear that.
Every insurance provider I’ve gotten quotes from for cars over the years has been pretty drastically different. There are lots of situations and factors at play too such as location. My insurance was half of what I was quoted at other providers. So I’m all in with Statefarm. They’re taken great care of me
What is your insurance company? Ask different ones for quote. I had to switch insurance company after year 1 which they increased rate by 35%.
Awsome video and incredibly informative. Keep up the good work, Brady.
Much appreciated! Will do🙏🙏
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.
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.
Smart Man! I bought a used 18,000 mile Tesla Long Range model Y with performance boost which is 100 hp extra and full self driving and it came with 20 inch wheels which look great but I rather have the 19 inch wheel for a smoother ride and more distance. I paid $35,000 in December 2023. Shortly after that we got these extremely low prices and low interest rates. I did get performance boost upgrade and full self driving for at least $20,000 less than if I bought a new one. That’s a huge discount from buying a brand new one with super low prices and discounts on interest! I probably could be the deal I got by $5000 just by shopping longer for the deal. I used to have the same model that you’re driving a long range 2018 model three. My daughter is driving it and I took it for a drive and it is so perfect and extremely fast even compared to my high horsepower model Y I like how the model Y sits up and you walk in and sit down and you have all the space in the back, but the big butt is I like the model three looks much much better and I like how you can carve the turns on mountain roads! Enjoy your new car. I know that my daughter‘s car hasn’t changed a bit since 2018. I kinda like the rear wheel drive by the way I like handles. Her car does not have a squeak or a rattle. It’s a solid as a brand new 2024 Tesla. Maybe two dB less quiet. Cheers, Daniel
The new highland puts the old model 3 to shame! I’ll buy one in a few years .
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.
Yes I definitely looking to get one I drive a little over a 100 miles a day , does Tesla take trade ins
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!
Just bought a 2023 G Wagon, it is a monster!
Looking into buying a 2022 long range awd with 64,000 miles for $24,000. Is this a good deal & what should i be looking for. Thanks 👍🏾
I am so thinking of getting a used Tesla but I am so nervous.
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.
You said you didn't pay $4k for the home install of the higher-end charger, what did it cost? That's a consideration for me Also, how long does it take to recharge it daily? Thanks for your video, it was helpful..
My battery failed as soon as the warranty ran out. And 310 miles range is horrible.
I have been looking at the used inventory that Tesla has because they will normally tack on a reasonable warranty on both the car and the battery. Something you won't get from a non-Tesla dealership.
However, because of the terms & conditions with the current tax incentive, I would only benefit by getting a new Model 3. :-(
Still, it is tempting and your video does a good job showing the good points of going with a used one.
I already have a Level 2 in the garage for the PHEV that I own, so with either an old or new Tesla, I am all set in that department.
The 2018 model 3 is the fastest of all the long-range
Lightyears ahead? Mate you're living in the paste. I been driving spinners. Best experience ever.
Why did the charger guys pull up with a small army of electric vehicles to install your charger?
Broooo amazing camera work, as a photographer I’m going to “ borrow” some of these shots lol.

I have all my business + liability + auto bundled and pay around $220 per month

I just got a 19 Dual Motor LR. its pretty awesome paid 25k. 41k on the clock. FSD included. However..... I got it 1 month ago, and its loosing 1KWH of Nominal full pack per week. Thankfully Tesla has the warranty for 120k or 8 years. So when it fails It should be coved.
