You should not be trading cars (of any brand) every 2-4 years because it wastes so much money. I don't know who convinced people to do this, I'm sure it made THEM a lot of money but it not good for ordinary men and women.

This really took off during Covid when used cars became so expensive bc no one could find a car. I’ve done it a few times situationally because the family grew etc. but we still have vehicles from 01 that we use for emergency or carrying things around in.

Here is my situation. The latest build of FSD v12.5.6.3 has spoiled me so much I no longer drive more than a couple of hundred feet a day to park the car. The rest of the time FSD is driving for me. No way I could go to another company unless they have a car that is autonomous. That will be several years.

[@carrtb]

Gosh. Your trade-in estimates are real stingers. We’ve had 2 2018 M3Ps and recently sold them. Tesla’s trade-in offers were low. One of them with 94,000 miles was offered $16,800. The other with 16,560 miles was offered $19,500. We sold them to Carvana ($18,800) and Carmax ($23,000) respectively. The two were sold to make way for the Tri Motor Cybertruck (Cyberbeast as it came to be known) I had on reservation since 44 hrs after reveal and delivered recently. The other was sold to make way for a much more practical MY AWD (Quicksilver!) where we took advantage of Q4 incentives, the Fed Tax Credit ($7,500) and the 0% interest 60mo loan. Couldn’t pass this up. Free money for 5 years!!!

You sure don't drive very much with those low miles. You should get out more and go on some adventures. I have a 2023 (March build) Tesla Model Y LR with 25,000 miles. The computer that controls the screen was freezing up and was replaced earlier this year. I have home charging and use the superchargers as needed on long road trips. The car is so fun to drive it almost seems like it gave me a reason to explore more. I love the one pedal driving. My daily commute round trip is less than 10 miles, so I've put on the extra miles by going on weekday and weekend road trips.

What appeared to be an anti Tesla turned out to be a solid endorsement of the products from a keep them long term perspective. We also have 2 Tesla's at home. A 2024 refreshed Model 3 DM and a 2018 Model X 100D. We had both leased Tesla's in 2021 (M3, MY) and so were not impacted by price changes or value depreciation for those cars. We purchased my wifes 2024 Model 3 and I bought the Model X from Tesla's used vehicle site. My wifes M3 refresh DM was actually less expensive that her 2021 single motor. The amazing deal was the Model X. It is a 6 seat X with 49K miles in great condition for $39,900. It had EAP which I upgraded to FSD for an additional $2K. That's $43K all in for a vehicle that sold new in 2018 or over $150K. It carries a 1 year full warranty and another two years for the battery and drive motors. I love driving the X and it is by far the best deal I've ever had on a vehicle in my long life of vehicle ownership. I feel for the individual who paid what with all the options was actually closer to $160K (6 seat, upgraded wheels, EAP) and lost over $100K in the trade-in to Tesla. Most non-Tesla people who have been in my X have thought it was a new car. It is certainly a lot of car for what I paid and like you, my battery is in that 93% capacity or 275 miles of range.

[@charrin9086]

EV will transform the entire industry due to their longevity. 400,000+ miles are being recorded on the original batteries- and the newer batteries will prove to be more reliable. Prices on EV will continue to fall- Tesla stock skyrocketed because they reduced the cost to manufacture by 20% in 2024. The cost will be even lower in 2025...2026. Any other manufacturers os gas/hybrid reducing their prices?

[@CoolTatts]

One reason I won't buy a Tesla ... if I had the money for a Tesla, I'd buy a 2022-2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport. I love driving and Tesla numbs this experience. I've never cared about 0-60 speeds. Most people don't give a single care about this. Can it merge with traffic, check and move on. No trolling but let's keep in perspective we don't all want an appliance we feel will be replaced every two-four years. Give me a car which brings joy and I know I'll want to own 15 years from now (and will still have some resale value).

Excellent video- and your take on "why replace" was Elon's vision all along. Longevity just adds up to better for the environment. Most young people will only purchase 2 EV in their lifetime...due to their extreme longevity. Think about how much money that will save them over their lifetime.

[@lukeav6097]

Extreme longevity? The weakest link is the battery. Tesla is not on the top list of most reliable vehicles. Toyotas and Mazdas can out last a Tesla

[@charrin9086]

@@lukeav6097 Tesla have only been built for what, 14 years? The weak link is indeed the battery, and the numbers are ever increasing of owners that have 300,000+ miles on those old Tesla batteries. The batteries made today are much better than those that are lasting 300,000 miles!

[@ezpoppy55]

Americans suffer from two syndrome: FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome Both of these are huge factors that drive the “need” many have to buy the latest of whatever. I’m fortunate that I don’t have either of these (to an unmanageable degree). Sure, the new and shiny is always attractive. But I can resist. My ultimate question is this: Is there anything I need to do that I cannot do with what I have? My ‘21 M3 SR+ works great. It just crossed 50k miles, so no more warranty on the car (battery and power train still have many miles to go). But I’ve been on many 1,000 mile trips (including a 5,500 mile r/t to Louisville), and the car has reliably, capably, and comfortably made each of those trips! Plus it is absolutely amazing as a daily driver around town. The s/w updates, as you mentioned, constantly refresh my car, making it feel new and up-to-date, and the tech of the Tesla world make me feel like my car is not a 2nd thought of the OEM. This is who they are and what they do. Full stop. My feeling is that, if/when this car needs a new battery, I’m definitely going to buy a new battery instead of a new car. I’m hoping by then, Tesla would simply let me keep the old battery to use as a power wall. But yeah I’m not really tempted to get the latest and greatest - I already have it!

[@SnBsM3T]

Nice vid, but underwhelming... I thought this was going to be a disparaging vid, but instead it's a vid telling why you're keeping what you have. I can give you 10 reasons why I hate mine with number 1 being range, or the lack thereof! My 2019 SR+ has a whopping 15K miles on it and out of the 240 mile range it supposedly came with, I am only getting 140 actual miles, oh I can charge to 100%, but doesn't come close to showing 240, more like 200.

[@lawrenceasero2207]

I have a 22 M3 RWD with 27k miles on it. Published range by Tesla 272 when new. I have the LFP batteries that are recommended to be charged to 100%. My car never charged to 272 miles at 100%. It now shows at 100% charge 254-256. I think the real world range is about 240. Of course depends on outside temperature and speed. Tesla warranty the batteries to maintain 70% of range for 8 years and 100k miles. depending on model this warranty has different parameters. If your range drops much more, you could qualify for a battery replacement.

[@shepherdsknoll]

You might be missing out on a $45k M3P with the tax credits - it’s absolutely awesome !

Elon Musk is a CEO. Musk doesn't own Tesla and he wasn't the founder of Tesla. Musk doesn't design, engineer or build Tesla vehicles. Tesla has thousands of good employees who do those jobs and assemble the vehicles. Don't let the decisions of one A..hole CEO get into your head and dictate your decisions of products to purchase. Henry Ford was an anti-semite. Marry Barra of General Motors lied about having dozens of EVs years ago. Carlos Ghosn of Nissan is a criminal and fugitive who was smuggled out of Japan in an instrument box. Volkswagen CEOs lied, cheated and polluted the Earth. Remember 'Diesel Gate'? Toyota has recently been investigated for cheating on emissions programming on industrial engines in the USA. There are more examples of bad, dishonest, lying and cheating CEOs. Company CEOs aren't angels. Most homes in the USA are filled with items from China. Do U support a repressive, communist Country run by a dictator by purchasing items from China?

I agree original pricing was very high, when I test drove US made Model S (can't get them in Australia anymore) sales lady told me will not like going back to old Toyota. As I drove home felt fine as car is paid off.

My top 10 reasons I'm not buying another Tesla 1. Everything creaks and rattles when driving. Quality is subpar 2. The car is glued together. It doesn't fell stable like other cars 3. It's not refined like other similarly priced cars 4. Maintenance/repair costs are realized on the backend when battery needs replacing 5. Interior material is cheap akin to a Kia Rio 6. Range vs number of charging station make no since 7. The battery can't take low outside temps or high outside temps 8. Needs constant charging for any real world use 9. Too many bugs in software that require frequent updates 10. MSRP for Model S should be $30,000 not $80,000 I sold my Tesla and bought a Toyota 4Runner and bought my wife a Lexus GX. Both can withstand extreme conditions, has high quality parts, very rugged and extremely reliable. Both vehicles are built like tanks and can take extreme abuse with ease. Teslas will fall apart if treated with any abuse. Stay away from Teslas if you value refinement, durability, reliability, safety, and comfort. Just buy a Toyota or Lexus.

Spare Tire........????

[@ezpoppy55]

@@manuelwilson9214 Not a Tesla-only issue. From Consumer Reports: “…about 40 percent of new cars today don’t come with a spare tire…” based on their test drive vehicles. The majority (50%) of new cars come without a full-sized spare, with only 10% having those. I bought a Modern Spare for my M3. Over 3.5 years, and 50k miles, I have yet to use it. Not sure what your point is.

Buying a Tesla is a waste of money and soon will be an obsolete car, which I pray and hope happens sooner than later. Those cars are junk. I know cause I used to work on them.

And yet cars from the last few years don't have all those classic Atari games. No passenger lumbar bladder. No ultra sonic sensors, which worked great especially with Summon for parking in tight spots. This new Dumb Summon just doesn't work for tight garage parking. And now we lose the ad free music they we have been paying for with Premium Connectivity. Feels like we are paying more for less. And the cabin camera monitoring is too sensitive, I got dinged twice during a 4 hour drive at night. Had to pull over to reset it after the first ding. I got dinged for trying to see my route on the display once and another time trying to show the Superchargers in the area on the display. It's ridiculous that after so many dings FSD then won't work for like a week, even though we paid for it! And even the lane assist function shuts off for a drive if it gives too many warnings, which makes no sense. That removes driver safety. Your link to the pen doesn't work right and what is shown is only a 15% discount, not 20%. And it's not true that Tesla's depreciate in value like crazy. Elon said Tesla's with FSD will be appreciating in value. Guess that was just more lies from him. lol You said you don't need more range and your reasoning is because there are more charging stations now. You do realize that for those of us that have to pay for charging, less range means it costs us more money.
