I just purchased my 2024 M3P a few weeks ago. I didn't know white interior was a free option but I've seen way too many posts about people who regret buying white seats in their Tesla due to spills or dye transfer from clothing that they cannot clean off so I chose black interior. You paid $500 less on the MSRP but I was able to take advantage of the 1.99% promotional finance rate. I think we both did very well given how nice the car is. I plan on keeping my car for at least 10 years so the annualized cost is pretty darn good, or I actually think it's a relative bargain considering the performance you get for the money. Thank you for disclosing all the details of your purchase, I think that's very helpful for those about to make the same purchase themselves.

In Canada we can insure our Model Y for $1600 per year, which is about $1200 USD per year, $200 deductible and loss of use insurance. Cheap in Manitoba. And charging cost at home is $.07/Kwh (no matter the time of day). Both insurance and electricity are public utilities in Manitoba.

20% is wayyyyyy better than 50-60%. I don’t know who’s complaining about 20% as of right now until I can start an online business I only make around 30,000 a year with a 9-5 so definitely not enough for a Tesla unless I was living somewhere rent free and even then it would still be too expensive. I would say if you make 6k a month and you don’t have kids or a significant other and only live by yourself it’s definitely easily double depending on what living situation you choose.

[@appletech9535]

I’ll break down my cost. 2024 Model Y Performance. Cost was 58k including taxes etc. Got the $7500 tax credit. Traded in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 70k miles to Carmax for 15k (Tesla only offered 11k). Put 5k cash down (20k total) so financed about 30-31k…got the 1.9 percent apr promotion so my payment is $451 per month. It cost me about $375 to install the charger in my home (house built in 2019). Car insurance is the big one. I’m with progressive. I don’t have the exact number but…i pay $250 per month for the Tesla and a Hyundai sonata. 6 month premium $1500…the premium was $900 before with the same sonata and the Jeep…so a significant jump there. Supercharging costs me about $12-$17 depending on how low I drive the car down to. Charging at home is about $4-$6 each time. I charge probably 3x a week give or take. Electric bill has gone up about $30-$50 give or take. I’ve driven a lot though! I have about 3200 miles and it’s been slightly over 2 months. (I don’t even have a commute since I work from home lol). Oh and I pay the $99 per month for fsd. Paid the $99 one time for premium connectivity for the year.

@@bahutoopa1190 yeah I paid about 41cent per Kilowatt today I believe. If I was just on superchargers alone, it depends on what car you’re coming from as far as savings. For me, my Jeep had 22 gallons of gas so it was easily over $60 to fill up to go 300-350 miles. Supercharger would be about $15-$20 so it’s still worth it.

KUB in Knoxville just south of you. The off peak rate really isn’t worth it here. The regular metered rate is about 10.5¢/kW. The off-peak is 9¢/kW and on peak is like 21¢ or 22¢/kW. Just that huge spike for on peak, my 3 story 5BR/3.5BA house would eat up the tiny savings I would get from charging off peak. All of KUB power comes from the TVA, so our power is cheap here too; mostly hydroelectric, nuclear, and a few coal plants left that they’re working on closing down over the next few years and converting to nuclear. Edit: the house would eat up the difference because of the AC, or just running always on appliances like refrigerators, chargers, etc.. One slip up and running the dishwasher or dryer on peak would devour that 1.5¢ savings lol. Also, TN added a $200 EV tag fee that is scheduled to increase to like $275 in 2027 and then go up every year with inflation.

[@franklong6269]

Wow, financing $40,000 for six years is just insane. You are going to pay nearly $8000.00 interest to finance $40,000. That's just burning money. That's approximately a 15% increase in the car price. That's a lot of money to invest in a car. You were smart to pay off your loan. I just drove to CA for a funeral. I drove approximately 900 miles and it cost around $100.00. So, it was a lot cheaper than driving a standard ICE car. However, if you compare it to a Toyota Camry hybrid, which gets 51 mpg, it works out to about the same cost.

[@beansRuns]

I just sighed a 6 year loan too, but at their 1.99% promotional rate

[@franklong6269]

@@beansRuns A 1.99% rate is much more reasonable. If you charge at home, you will probably save a significant amount of money on gas alone. So, 1.99% makes more financial sense. I own a 2022 Model 3, and it costs me $7.75 to charge it from 0 -100%. I also own a Toyota Tacoma and it costs me around $70.00 to fill up its 22 gallon gas tank. I can go about 250 miles on that 22 gallon tank, which is about the same range I get on with my Model 3 for one charge in city driving.

@@Lawlsforlawls My Tacoma is a 2009 4-wheel drive double-cab. It gets about 250 - 270 miles on a tank of gas in the city. I am not sure what it gets on the highway now, but it wouldn't be over 17 mpg for sure. Probably closer to 15 mpg on the highway. It has 234,000 miles on it and I just replaced the suspension. However, I think that the truck just was not as efficient as when it was new. But even when it was new, I would only get around 20 mpg on the highway. As the truck has aged, its gas mileage in the city has plummeted. I have upgraded the plugs and checked its specs and it is running correctly. I think that some of the sensors have aged and it is burning more gas because of that. However, when I took it for the emissions test, it ran very clean. So it runs good but I have lost about 3 mpg in gas efficiency.

Impressive revenue! I’ve been doing KZbin full time for 7 years and currently make between $30k and $45k a month. FB brings in another $7-12k a month. I also try not to include many sponsors on my channel. I like keeping it mostly just me and my own content. Great video!

I was out yesterday getting a bite to eat and found a Tesla Supercharger station and 2 try-me vehicles. 1 was the 2024 M3, and the other was the 2023 model Y. That M3 was so pretty, deep blue metallic. I don't own one yet, but that I could see parked in my yard.

[@vahegiragol9953]

He also said 6 cents per kilowatt hours, where for us it's about 35 cents. I assume you live in communist California like me. I've looked into the math and a hybrid is the most cost effective option for people who live in expensive states

I just got a Red Model 3 Performance last month, I love everything but the turn signals not working when I need them on my way in to work, never fails in bad weather on my way in to Washington DC, I hit beltway traffic and can't get the left or right to press when I need to signal, ARG!!!... Anyway love your channel and your advice is great and I just hit 50 years old so please keep being Transparent I love it!. Your Fan Billy Llama!!

They literally just won’t work? Or it is difficult for you to hit them under stress?

[@danbuchner28]

Thanks for a well laid out video. If you compare this cost with a traditional gas-powered Toyota Camry or Honda Accord, you are paying at least 50% more per month for this EV. However, you can easily afford it and enjoy it. Best wishes!

[@Doyourthang]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I got my model 3 long range a few months ago. Been loving it, except I ordered the all white interior and mine was manufactured wrong and had 1 black door… good times

[@MarcesAurelius]

thank you for clear data… have decided to get the M3P ‘24 just yet but guessing electricity-cost will be about the same as 25 mpg 430ix here were Teslas are extremely common I just checked with PG&E today September 30, 2024 EV rate plan kWh in Northern California $0.31 off-peak hrs to $0.62 for peak hrs 😳 supercharger: $0.50 off-peak and $0.60 peak 😳😳

[@ssssaintmarcus]

Really good video with lots of great information. I ordered mine a day after announcement and I’m pretty sure I had selected the cash option as well and was one of the first in the states also.

[@kurearisu]

We just placed an order yesterday for a M3LR. Our monthly, estimated, is like $1005 lol. We did the 0% APR and only way to get that is to do the 36 month financing option, $7500 tax credit, used a referral code which got us $500 off, we also got the Ultra Red + White interior which cost us extra ($2000 for the ultra red, $1000 for the white interior) - The monthly is A LOT, but we're paying $0 for interest. I kept urging my husband to just pay the car off so that we don't have to pay for full coverage (which for us is about 170 a month), but I think we're just going to put more towards the payment to get it paid off faster.. so we don't have to pay so much for full coverage. But that's our experience! We're likely going to get the 2025 year since I know they're already giving vins for that year (although there's no difference between 2024 and 2025, just the number)

[@Ricky_2Cool]

I really want to get model 3 LR Rwd but the the only problem i have is interest since i am muslim i can’t pay any interest at all and i am praying and hoping to get 0apr i mean in uk they had 0apr 😅

[@Joey_DiGs]

Why can’t you pay interest?

[@Kita-Kamakura]

@@Joey_DiGs Muslims are not permitted to pay interest. I took a course at university. They wait for 0% interest or roll the interest into the car loan and get zero interest. They have special banks/financing as well, I'd think service charges, rolling the interest into the loan, etc MIGHT be the work around. "Central to Islamic finance is the fact that money itself has no intrinsic value. As a matter of faith, a Muslim cannot lend money to, or receive money from someone and expect to benefit - interest (known as riba) is not allowed."

[@JremiahJones]

Wow i did not know that. Thanks for the tip as well, much appreciated!

[@Joey_DiGs]

@@Kita-Kamakura lol so basically they still pay interest, they just change the structuring and the wording. Super dumb

Tesla’s depreciation s crazy , for example, the Plaid over $100,000 when it came out two years later, you can get them for 60,000 or $50,000, definitely just wait a couple of years to get the Tesla that you want on the used market

[@EC-cm8sf]

I leased a model 3 last year. I paid $1,200 down and I pay 330 a month (12k for 3 years) the reason the down payment was so low is because NJ doesn’t charge sales tax on EVs and they give 4k towards EVs so all in all I got an amazing deal.

[@GabrielRamos-eu8hk]

Hey I’m in nj and trying to buy a Tesla wasn’t aware that we don’t pay sale tax on ev if that also for financial?

[@EC-cm8sf]

@ in NJ sales tax for EVs started in Oct 1st so you just missed it however it’s still only 3.3% vs 6.6%. (It will go up to 6.6%, in June) The $4k NJ tax credit that I got is also over however there is a $2k tax credit.

[@aleckermit]

I have the 2024 Model 3 standard range RWD and it costs me about $420/month (lease payment, default Tesla insurance, charging) here in NV.

[@aquileggleston84]

Im not interested in a Tesla but i was curious to see what the charging cost break down was. You gave very good insight on analytical data with the vehical and your profits as a content creator, loved the video!

[@stephenburkholz8268]

you are right about insurance. I’m an agent. I always recommend you have high deductibles. Insurance companies know how to rig the system to win. The less you pay them the better off you are. But also recommend high liability limits. People like to sue each other and that protects you.

[@TheJacyn313]

Damn, I had no clue model 3s were so expensive. Although it is brand new and the Y Performance I bought was a 2023 with 17,000 miles on it so decidedly not brand new but it cost less than the 3 which is shocking to me. I thought the model 3 was supposed to be the "budget friendly" tesla, I had no clue they were that pricey. That wasn't a dig btw, I'm genuinely surprised. I didn't finance it though, but I do exclusively use supercharging which is about $35 give or take which because I live in California is DEFINITELY cheaper than gas. My 01 civic with it's tiny little 13 gallon tank costs nearly $60 to fill. Edit: I will never get rid of that civic, she has been with me thru thick & thin but damnit if California doesn't rip you off at the pump.

[@g.dubyou6263]

I’m in Northern California and gas just dropped to $3.99 here for Premium. Supercharger cost by me is $0.60. Home charging is $0.32 off peak, and $0.62 on peak. $0.06 is disgusting. 🤮

[@ewitte12]

Went the cheapest RWD model as a lease and got QS free plus white seats by switching to a inventory model. It costs a few hundred a month more than I was paying for a paid for car with 200k miles that was about to die... BTW if you don't factor in gas savings the full cost is about 6% income.

I bought a 2004 Buick with 63,000 miles for $1,000. I put on new tires, brakes and shocks. Another $1,400. Total with a first class detailing was $2,600. Car runs and drives like new. Beautiful Interstate vehicle, safe and very quiet. Insurance is $89 a month. Gas is around $120 a month for 1,000 miles average. Sooo, a total of $200 a month driving 1,000 a month with 480 mile range. Zero depreciation. Tax $80 a year. I looked into buying a Model 3. The payment was $478, not counting much more expensive tax, and insurance. Electricity would be about $35 with my routes. So, after careful consideration it does not appear EV is a good option.

Living in NYC, insurance cost starts at 500$ a month with huge deductible and up to 1000$ a month for good insurance. Many insurance companies do not provide coverage for Tesla. I drive combustion engine SUV and paying around 200$/month for premium gas and another 200$ for insurance. Deprecation cost is higher for Tesla. I love Tesla cars but can’t afford it in NY.😢

I did the math on my car. Bought new in 2004 for 15k. 20 years later with hair under 300k, I'm still driving it. Cost me 45k so far for twenty years with price of car. Gas obviously is the majority of that, around 26k but probably less as gas was cheaper in 04 so that's based on 2.99 average a gallon. Maintenance is rolled in there as well. Not bad. Cost me next to nothing really to run. Buy one car and make it last.

[@Frisco0311]

Model 3 and Y are 0 APR rn. I have to buy one at this point. Waiting to close on a house and will probably get one in a week or 2.

[@JeanP-f7m]

6 cents per Kwh...well, that is the dream cost if you can get it...But here in Socal, it's just a pipe dream...with average electricity (off peak hours - whether SDGE or SCE) ranging between .25 to .35 cents. Still no complaints, way cheaper than gas even though gas prices are below $4 dollars due to current lower crude prices. Another cost you have to take into consideration is ev resale value...as most know that ev's have steep depreciation (first 3 years) compared to Toyota/Honda ICE vehicles.

[@shortysd3ad]

If you plan on getting a tesla for commuting for work, I highly recommend you make sure you have some sort of charging station at work(also at a good cost per kwh), if not i will its not worth getting it. It makes a huge differences while you can charge when at work. I also have the level 2 charging at home and had to change my pge plan to the ev home charge(here in bay area California, off peak hours is .31c from midnight to 3pm) at my work is about .20c for 4 hrs anything after 4 hours is about extra 2$ so im mindful.

[@JD-mu7qm]

Im a car dealer and when teslas first came out they was expensive now the used tesla market has dropped in price by alot lol i even had some dealer friends lose money on them because they bought them at high price and all of sudden the prices just dropped and a whole bunch of them flooded the dealers market so right now i can buy one at auction or trade in for $15k-$18k for used teslas but this is my prices dealer prices NOT Retail!!!

[@dragoncreeper1207]

minimum wage in California is $16hr $1100 check, a car payment would easily run you 50%-80% of your check

[@FUT_92]

For the home charging costs, your kwh rate should really be your total bill divided by how many kwh you used that month. I could be wrong but I'm guessing those 6 cents don't include all the other fees in an electricity bill. My KwH rate is like 9 cents but after adding all the fees the real rate is more like 15 cents. Still, super cheap to charge (around $60/month for $,1,200-500 miles driven) but worth noting.
