Spoiler alert: Repairs were minor, Tesla treated him wonderfully. He is 100 percent satisfied .

[@Carguytct]

I wouldn't consider replacing the rear glass exactly minor.

[@noelpapa3000]

As a longtime Tesla owner I truly appreciate your video. Keep it up. Everyone in my family owns one.

[@rafagroove9153]

Hey brother thanks for the video. I’m also from Atlanta and i currently own a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia. Never in my life i thought about having an electric car as daily but I’ve considering that even more. I will do couple test drivers in the next days and I’m aiming for a 2018-2020 Model 3. Let’s see how it goes!

[@superzero4250]

We went into the Tesla Service Center for a scheduled repair that was expected to complete just before the end of the day. We noticed the new Model 3 Highland parked nearby, after checking it out for ten or fifteen minutes, one of the employees ask us if we wanted to test drive it. We drove around in it while doing a few errands and returned it a while later. Upon returning it, we mentioned how we did not get a chance to test the FSD. The Service attendant told us to go ahead and try it for a bit. We proceeded to test it while doing even more errands, and returned it after receiving notification that our vehicle was ready early. Overall, we estimated that we had the test vehicle for about four hours… 😳 We have had our Model 3 for over three years, maybe spent SIXTY dollars in total for service, plus Two hundred fifty dollars deductible for a windshield replacement, that was no fault of the vehicle itself… The only other thing we have done to the car was rotate the tyres after 20K miles… 😏

[@ElMistroFeroz]

Interesting. My Model S had a rattle on a wheel, $200 just to diagnose, no loaner. Just a good see ya.

[@bruhmomento7563]

Ngl thats alot of mechanic shops tho but I get your point. $200 for a diagnose is wild.

[@JesusPerez-yc6yu]

Yeah its expensive to repair minor stuff. Was like 450 for some tire rod squeaking i had. Prob just needed more lube since water tends to get on that part when it rains.

[@GatoGamingSi]

Hows it going, wanted to ask how your repair was $0, did you have an extended warranty or did they give you an extended warranty from buying a used car directly from Tesla?

[@naknowbte5951]

For used tesla's or atleast the one my friend got, you get to keep whatever is left of the warranty, and then you get an additional 1 year 10,000 miles.

[@GatoGamingSi]

@@naknowbte5951 that is an awesome deal. Its good that he didn't go with the shady dealership and went directly with Tesla.

[@knoxl7]

@@naknowbte5951I would imagine that 6 years is out of warranty.

[@jefferrrson1x]

Awesome video man. Question. What was the mileage of your at the time of the replacement under warranty?

[@cybertruck4988]

Fact checker - this is correct and he just got a new subscriber for telling the truth.

[@dlm89538]

Did you have a warranty through Tesla that made it cost $0? If you did buy it used through the Tesla website, how did that go? Were you able to test drive it before buying?

[@cisnerosjoel22]

When you buy a used one from Tesla they will give you a year of warranty

[@dlm89538]

@cisnerosjoel22 Yes, I know they offer that warranty. Thus, the follow-up questions about buying it used from the Tesla site and how that went...especially if you could test drive it

[@Jake-es1fl]

I bought mine used from Tesla. No test drive. When I got there my 12v battery was dead and the replaced it on the spot in like 10 minutes with a brand new one. 10k mile limited body warranty from whatever miles you had on it when purchased. Then the 120,000 8 year* warsnty on battery. However if you bought a 2020 that 8 year warranty is up in 2028

[@ClipPlayTV]

Yes tesla has a 10,000 mile or one year whichever comes first first used car warranty

[@dlm89538]

@@Jake-es1fl that's pretty crazy they make you put a non-refundable payment on a car you can't test drive or let alone see until you are ready to purchase. What if the interior or exterior is all marked up and shows hard use? You can say no and then are out $250-500

[@MrSupasheva]

I kept thinking i was getting messages from MS Teams. LMAAAOO

[@ClipPlayTV]

😂

[@mattwiersum8546]

Thank god I'm not the only one

[@masisoganesyan9048]

Just bought a model y. I will never drive another model car again. From now on I’m buying only Tesla.

[@buraison]

Thanks, pushing me to get mine

[@X2p5423videolover]

The only thing holding me back is insurance cost. I heard it cost three times more than a ICE car. If someone care to share ball park amounts for insurance cost, i would appreciate. Thank you

[@JTwisty]

I got a quote of 90 bucks for just liability being 21 and driving under 10000 miles a year

[@Edsters90]

Thanks Brady for the video! Just curious, what is the mileage on your car? I have a used M3 as well.

[@ClipPlayTV]

It was at 56,000 when I bought it and now I’m sitting at about 66,000

[@christiangutti7614]

If they don’t provide you with a loaner, Tesla will give you Uber credits, like $100 per day.

[@ClipPlayTV]

Yep! That’s what they did for me. Thank you for adding that for those who may not have seen that part of the video too 👍

[@Aslam_Aliyu]

Did you a rental version

[@niacal4nia]

My experience with free dealership loaner cars is because you get ripped off. My cousin was charged $8000 for his Mercedes air shocks replacement but he was given a free loaner car😅

[@torrhthc4103]

Tesla shareholder?😅

[@ClipPlayTV]

No, but am contemplating buying some shares

[@johannesdolch]

Welcome to the 'cult'. (Because when somebody treats you well and you like them, it must be a cult.sigh.)

[@fenwickc2274]

woah you said lay offs ? is it safe to buy a tesla still ?

[@jaborisBell]

Can't wait to get my model y i can't go back to a engine car but i know what come with it

[@Ronstrudell]

I bought a 2018 long range RWD model 3 in October 2023. The previous owner did 2K$ in repairs before selling. Was told it would be “mint” by Tesla before purchase. 4 months after purchase, I got a warning that brake fluid was low. Went into Tesla and they said brake lines were corroded and needed to be changed. They covered it but then found that the steering wheel connector was corroded. I paid 3K$ for that and it didn’t feel good. Love the car but got unlucky there

[@Pandobar]

Were you able to finance the 3k?

[@bosz4222]

Nice Video. Can you share which device you've used for the full screen recording?

[@ClipPlayTV]

I actually didn’t record the screen natively! I rigged up a camera with a tripod and some ratchet straps in the backseat and framed it on the screen with no glare, and set the focus to manual so it didn’t pivot or hunt focus

[@jerryfranklin6138]

I thought to warranty was 4yr/50k miles. How were you able to get these repairs covered at $0 and with a loaner car.

[@ClipPlayTV]

You have a 10,000 mile one year used car warranty when you buy a used car from Tesla✅

[@MiniKatanaStore]

🔥🔥🔥

[@kelly___lopez]

This was sick!!

[@CarlosGomez-wz9md]

Great video and I enjoyed your review btw and I just subbed.

[@masisoganesyan9048]

These cards are truly amazing

[@AlijahSimon]

2:08 Feeds a lot of birds with one scone*

[@SRT8Cat]

I think that if you buy a used Tesla from the company they give a 12 month warranty.If the car has any warranty left, they add one year after the original warranty runs out.

[@jacquesm1553]

It is only more economical if you buy a similar priced ICE vehicle and drive a lot. For people that buy, let's say a Honda Accord, and drive less than 10 000 miles a year. And assuming nothing breaks down ( which is very likely with honda and toyota vehicles), the costs over 5-10 years, might be cheaper than that of a model 3.

[@conchobar]

My Chevy Bolt only requires tire rotations, in-cabin air filter, and wiper blade replacements for the first 120k miles. A Camry, Civic, or Accord, will have numerous air filter, Oil, belt, brake pad, spark plug, and coolant replacements over that same mileage. Add in furl savings and a Tesla owner has a nice buffer for repair cost even if his car is less reliabile.

[@LewdCustomer]

Cost of EV ownership is much cheaper than ICEVs. It's not close and there are no exceptions.

[@SharonMcQ384]

Why pay 24,900 for a 6 year old car when new is like $41,500 new after 7500 tax credit. If I couldn’t afford new, why would I buy it

[@mattwiersum8546]

Because after the tax credit he paid less than 21k for the car. Check my math plz, but my calculator is saying that's roughly half of what you're quoting

[@Antrix108]

@@mattwiersum8546lol when you have to state the obvious 😂

[@mikeflege5733]

Wait until you have to put a battery in it, or you try to trade it in when it needs a battery. See what your opinion of ownership cost is then

[@BaybieK]

Why would it need a replacement battery?

[@tafl-9198]

Have you experienced this ?

[@LewdCustomer]

Tesla won't need battery replacements. Teslas with battery in a pack will stay in use longer than the car will, then be recycled. However new Y models have the main battery built into the floor. They will be recycled at the end of the car;s life. Maybe good to have your mom show you how to use Google. She may not know you're not as bright as she hoped.

[@mikeflege5733]

@@LewdCustomer I don't base all my knowledge from information on Google, sorry. I base it on actual facts. Depending on the person's driving habits and how they charge the battery, the life of the battery can vary greatly. But that's for your opinion
