Did I Buy The Wrong Used Tesla Model 3?

[@djm243]

Hi, really refreshing reviews, I am also enjoying seeing the local area in videos. I noticed the Stonemasons pub in Timperley village as you drove past. I am local (Sale) and am waiting for my Model 3 RWD (ex demo) and can’t wait to see what a decent EV can do. Keep up with the reviews we are all enjoyingg your honest and frank impressions.

[@CobyEV]

Thank you! Congratulations on your Model 3, I think you’ll love it! Ever have any questions, my email is in my channel description. Nice to see someone local has seen the channel!

[@timcoker3785]

I think the facelift got double glazed front windows too? Keep up the good work 👍

[@CobyEV]

@@timcoker3785 You’re absolutely right! Thank you 😊

[@CJ-gq6ol]

Well done mate looking forward to the update video i think you will get alot of views if the title is right. Im also looking at a used approved from tesla and really want to know what that additional year warranty will cover when you get the car back. Hopefully they changed the blue sensor that does look out of place 🙈

[@CobyEV]

@@CJ-gq6ol Thank you! I got the car back today and the video will come out on Friday so you’ll get a full update on what they’ve covered! 😊

Hi great video thank you could you do a video on the price of the tires and maybe some cheaper tires for the model three as the price of the tires really are putting me off. Cheers

Nice to know the differences. Thank you

[@markharris8929]

First update was the 2020. This didn’t have the wood effect trim insert in the door. It did have the black windows and door handles. Note the black ones can be pushed in at the front a few mm to break ice- the silver ones cannot. It got the new centre console and double glazed front door glass. In late 20, on a 70 plate they got the new door cards. November 21 on had Ryzen GPU in the touchscreen and also moved to a 16v Lithium Ion Low Voltage battery. Beware using 12 lv socket accessories as the socket is at 16v! Late 22 lost the USS sensors. Small incremental changes year on year. The more your budget the more you get. They all drive lovely- very little creaks or rattles. I test drove a 2018 M3P and fell in love with it but couldn’t afford one. Now I’ve just bought a Sept21 M3P with low mileage. It is indeed a quieter and a lot more smoother ride than the original. At 40% of new price for a car still in warranty and less than 20,000 miles I’m a happy bunny. Loving it.

[@NigelRudyard]

I like the minimalism of the interior. I have a hybrid which I'm happy with but the absence of the ICE engine note is good.

[@Gold.Circle.]

@@NigelRudyard looks horrible. Every EV looks like this. No physical buttons. Just plain plastic interior boring

[@andyclough5738]

Can we have a video of the whole process for getting Tesla to sort the issues you showed in the first vid after collection please?

[@CobyEV]

I’ll be posting a video next week on what they’ve fixed. As for the actual process itself, I’ll pop it in my plans to show the booking process on the Tesla app. Hope this helps!

[@andyclough5738]

@CobyEV thanks. Looking forward to more videos from you. Live close to the sale area so it was good to see a drive round of areas I know. 👍🏻

[@geoffbruce1501]

Interseting. Looking to get an EV so very imformative from my point of view. Not sure on the Tesla front so this is very helpful. Thanks

[@CobyEV]

@@geoffbruce1501 Thank you! The channel won’t just be featuring Tesla’s, I have some other manufacturers coming up soon. Is there any you’re particularly interested in seeing?

[@trevortaylor4113porsche]

[@alexdalgleish1061]

As have said on some EV channels there’s not many vids showing booking in process on the app and collecting a loan car that’s automatically signed across to it?! Find that fascinating.

Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@benbradbury3665]

When did the facelift get released?

[@CobyEV]

I believe it was late 2020 so the earliest examples are on a ‘70’ plate.

[@banzibarn]

70 plate but these were still made in America and didn't have a heated steering wheel or wood trim on the doors. China Facelifts were when the reported quality improvements came. Look for wood on the doors to be sure it was made in China.

[@ashb8572]

First comment 🎉 liking the content! BTW which Leaf did you have?

[@CobyEV]

@@ashb8572 I had a 2020 40kWh N-Connecta, so mid-spec. Thank you!

[@ashb8572]

@CobyEV that's a decent EV as long as it's not taken too far. Can I ask what sort of winter range you were getting at 70mph with heating ect

[@CobyEV]

@@ashb8572 If I was to drive at 70mph constantly with the heating on, I think the range would only be around 110 miles at anything less than 5 degrees. In March last year, I was getting 140 miles at about 60mph on the motorway. It was a good car, just not quite what I needed. If it had CCS, I reckon I wouldn’t have been in as much of a hurry to upgrade as I was.

[@paulblundell3053]

Great video again. In the first video I might have missed the info and apologies if I did; how many miles were on your vehicle when you bought it?

[@CobyEV]

@@paulblundell3053 Thank you! It was just under 42,000 miles. I will be doing a video of the PCP deal at some point but for reference the cash price was £18,900.

[@paulblundell3053]

Thank you.

[@godzuks]

Hi can I asked what your insurance costs are for Tesla Model 3 ?

[@CobyEV]

Sure - £720 on a Multicar policy so there is a slight discount in that figure.

[@boyasaka]

I read recently The chrome trim comes from usa and black trim was made in China ( even if it’s the same year ) And the article I was reading said China build quality much better ( I’ve no idea if the above is true of false just what I read )

[@jondonnelly3]

Telsas are depreciating so fast used. Soon they will be optimal bangernomics where examples are sub 10k. Charge exclusively on a night tarrif on driveway and there will be a logical economic agrument for having one. Provided it suits lifestyle.

[@jonfrench7133]

Actually although the the initial 1 year depreciation is higher than an equivalent ICE by 3 years with average mileage is within 1-2% of the ICE car, source being auto trader. Rather than regurgitating spurious nonsense actually look at the numbers. Marc Palmer, AT Head of Strategy and Insights…

[@Sam-tx1tn]

Possibly but those cars will have 150k miles plus

[@jamie-hb8gy]

I wouldn't buy a 6-8 year throw away car,ever!!!!!

[@jonfrench7133]

me neither…

[@markharris8929]

After 30,000 miles you should have 97% capacity. At 100,000 miles you should have 90-92%. At 300,000miles it will still be 90% capacity. That’s the realistic study into 5,700 individual EVs from many manufacturers.

[@DavidJohnston58]

No longer an EV driver, four weeks ago chopped the EV after two years for a hybrid. Not anti EV but hoping by the time the lease is up on this new car the difficulties I was having will no longer exist. Tesla are definitely the leaders in providing the EV service but current models just don't work for my circumstances and needs. Still watching EV channels like this though and also new review channels as my investigations for future car changes begin now. Keep up the good work with the how it's going videos, throw in a few road trips, maybe a public charging exercise or two and I for one will keep watching 👌

[@ashb8572]

@@DavidJohnston58 this sounds very similar to my current situation. I ended up with a 2019 Prius phev and kept my Leaf as the 2nd car, what hybrid did you go for?

[@CobyEV]

@@DavidJohnston58 Thanks for the comment! I’ll absolutely take those ideas on board. I often put long distance destinations into the Tesla Navigation system to see how it would plan the journey and its always had pretty realistic plans for driving to places like Paris or even Oslo. Definitely something I’d like to do one day (hopefully this year) but there will be some UK road trips coming much sooner! Appreciate the support!

[@DavidJohnston58]

@@ashb8572 went with Skoda Kodiaq, previous car was Citroen eC4. Citroen was a good car, really comfortable and cost peanuts to run around locally. The longer trips were not so good. Motorway mileage was shocking, added to which the motorway services on my main route (Ireland) changed out the older units but reduced to one new charger per site with heavy cables! Even going early at 4am I found had to wait to get a charge or go elsewhere. New units were getting heavy cables I couldn't manage following a rear ending and damaged spine. Hurt myself on these few times eventually ending up in hospital after last one in June. Ironically the only units I struggled with at start were Ionity. No problem to avoid as there were only a handful of installations, then 2 years in found myself planning routes to use them Skoda allows me to run around locally with 70+ miles per charge and on a run I can go around on hybrid then charge at leisure if it suits or continue on petrol if it doesn't. So far put around 800 miles on it and yet to put any petrol in, still sitting at what the dealership put in. That will probably change with a 600 mile trip first week January.

[@DavidJohnston58]

@@ashb8572Ohh I wanted the new Prius, was my first choice, it's gorgeous but I couldn't get in it😖 plus the financial side was pushing me beyond my limit.

Funny you're going on about the tesla having anti dazzling yet Telas dazzle everyone with its headlights every day 😂

[@MartynWales]

I’ve never been flashed at since using the adaptive lights that became available with an over air update some while ago.

[@D0DG3R]

@MartynWales I think most people have just learnt that Tesla headlights are extremely bright, its not so much that they aren't aligned but just seem so much brighter than any other new cars headlights, the high beam being adaptive is a great feature otherwise I would imagine it would be like looking at the Holy gates in heaven.

[@MartynWales]

@ yup, I agree and I was being flashed prior to the adaptive lights feature. But not one since. 👍

[@FredFox-m9v]

Is there a right used Tesla to buy ?

[@Ryan.williams]

Model 3 Standard Range from 2021 onwards for the refresh additions. The Standard Range is the most efficient.

[@onetwothreefour-s1n]

Any Tesla is the wrong vehicle. Stop being a simp.

[@jondonnelly3]

There are examples in great nick with sub 80k miles for 13k and price is dropping every single month. At some point it will not be "simp" but smart bangernomics run on night tarrif electric plan.
