[@marcuss_aureliuss]

My EV experience as someone who loves ICE cars and motorcycles. I used to think Tesla only had the novelty of fast 0-60. Last year I installed solar panel on my roof and later came across a used model Y for $15K. I figured why not. I only pay for liability insurance ($300 for 6 months) since I have another car and a motorcycle. 20,000 miles later and it has cost $600 in insurance, $112 in solar charging, and by far has been the best commuting car I have ever driven. I've chosen to treat it like the car it is, a under insured, 100,000 mile, paint swirled Model Y. It's receive a few door dings and I take it to an auto car wash, but I'm left unbothered. ICE vehicles will stick around as fun weekend cars but any ICE owner who hates on Tesla has never driven one further than a test drive or is just another sheep of the internet. I will be getting a refreshed M3P when my ICE car dies.

Having done several long road trips now, I don't think I'd want to drive long distances in anything but a Tesla now. While the Supercharger stops seem inconvenient, it's a great way to get out of the car for a little bit for 10-25 minutes every 2-3 hours. And then letting Autopilot/FSD do the boring mundane driving on the Interstate makes it really relaxing compared to if you had to manually drive the car for hundreds of miles/kilometers. While it's far from perfect, I do like having the ability to choose when to drive it, and when I just want the car to do most of it for me. No other automaker makes it as seamless and convenient as Tesla does. And while some other EVs do some things better, like charging speed or range, when you look at everything a car offers, Teslas give you a lot of bang for your buck.

But I didn't say that, I was speaking to how disconnected even a brand new BMW feels relative to cars like the Model 3, the Model Y, and the Cybertruck. The ICE engine and transmission lags and feels disconnected, impotent and ancient. When you finally drive a Cybertruck for the first time your mind will be blown by the sense of power and control you have, especially at slower speeds, parking, maneuvering and in traffic. But that's not to say it doesn't also feel insanely connected when tearing up a dirt road, sandy dunes, or a twisty mountain pass highway. It an experience like no other.

I highly recommend Teslas for commuter cars. If you road trip a lot with young kids, it has limitations. I borrowed my in-laws’ Telluride for two road trips to get more trunk space & make it on one tank of gas, or a quick 5 minute top off & pee break. Our 3.5 hour drive to LA from Vegas was 6 hours due to a bad accident, but I was glad to be in a gas car that didn’t need to be charged and add probably another hour to the trip, while going 2mph in traffic. We have a 2 year old and a 6 month old, so having the bigger SUV allowed us to pack a double stroller, two stroller seats & give my wife space to sit in the back seat with the kids. I love my M3P but primarily for daily driving. If I was single or had no kids, I wouldn’t mind taking it on road trips 😄

Gaaoline costs 5 times as much? Right now, a Prius will nearly match cost per mile (gas vs home charging Tesla) due to low gas prices. The pricing shifts in favor of the Prius when the Tesla uses public charging. Gas would have to return to $4+ for the Prius to finally come out behind public EV charging pricing (certainly possible). I went Tesla for the large battery and heat pump that (if needed) allow living from the car easier, but hybrid gasoline isn't that far behind. Standard ICE costs are on par with public EV charging.

Must really depend on where you live, in Portugal the gas prices are all but low, the price difference actually is about a 1/5 in favor of electric home charging, gas here costs about 1,6€ / liter or higher, and it used to be near 2€ little more than a year ago. Public EV charging (excluding superchargers) though nearly matches the cost of Diesel depending on the place you charge.

[@msawyer91]

If you have home charging and good rates, absolutely! I have solar panels and also a time-of-use (TOU) rate, so home charging is definitely worth it. Sure some Superchargers can be pricey, but those are meant primarily for road trips, not the main way of charging your car.

New Model 3 owner - 6 weeks. This is the car I would invent, if I were inventing new cars! The latest FSD has some very good improvements, but now seems to fail to signal when taking a left off ramp from an HOV lane -- which it did before. And many of the alerts and info messages I used to get seem absent now. Why did you just change lanes?? I'd like to know. Plus, I canceled a lane change and Tabbitha (my wife named her) turned *off* the turn signal but *continued to change lanes* even though we hadn't hit the lane stripe! On the plus side -- before, it wouldn't event make a lane change into or out of an HOV lane, and now it will... when commanded (hit a turn signal). And moving to an on ramp now takes a comfortable flow line following the inside lane line, rather than going to the halfway point and making a hard turn. One small feature I'd love, is a small "tick" with a pitch differential whenever it decides to change lanes... slightly higher initial pitch if going right, slightly lower pitch if going left. Why do I have to look at the display to see this? And if I want to cancel the lane change, hitting the wrong signal button just confuses everyone. Hearing the difference would make one more time I don't have to take my eyes off the road if something is happening that needs my attention. For now my default action is to take control.

[@TECHiSuppose]

12:20 I've had that happen to the blue GoPro batteries. The Enduro ones seem a lot better (white case).

I also got a model 3, but LR AWD and it feels like one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Especially at 0% interest. Link in KZbin bio for any of the homies needing a referral link!

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

Girlfriend got a 2025 Model 3 LR AWD last week and she doesn't have SUMMON. So weird. It's nowhere on her car or app. Not even mentioned in the electronic manual. (USA, Colorado in case that matters)

You have to buy FSD or rent it monthly

@ she just took a delivery so she has FSD for 30 days and it's still not on her car

Can’t agree more with this video. Owning a Tesla just changes your perspective to driving a car. The new TM3P is so much fun for the price.

[@kelviskelvis7140]

@AndrewElliott-g5p welcome to YT - It is not that narrow of a view, owning an EV just changes your perspective to the whole driving experience. You do not need a tesla to get that feeling, the Lyriq works too.

[@Bangpaulxu]

My family and I are relocating back to the states in December, do you think we should buy the model Y now or wait for the refresh? Been contemplating this for a while now.

[@Slynell1]

Wait.. It's coming soon

[@jeffzuccarell9420]

I have a question I see in your videos when self driving you are what looks like mostly hands free How are you doing this I take my hand away for even a bit of time the car will instantly nag me to put my hands back even if it’s just the lightest touch the car wants my hands on the wheel applying light force Any info or tips or a video would be awesome and thanks

[@isiakahome5999]

There's a new update with eye tracking

[@timmikep1978]

The concern for me, the Tesla store is in New Jersey, and I live in Pennsylvania. If I ever have damage or a problem with my Tesla, it is a trip to get to Paramus! Not sure it is worth it for me??

[@Tool0GT92]

I really love the Model Y. However first major issue is phantom braking and cruise just disengaging, its unsafe and nerve racking. Also the seat belt chokes you when you drive, and the youtube music app sucks compared to the regular carplay version. Searching for many artists show no results. Other than that its great.

[@tylerwright6380]

Good video. I have a 2023 Model Y Performance and I am so looking forward to the Model Y refresh "Juniper" in 2025. Keep up the videos!

[@NeAr1986]

I think the only advantage of owning a petrol car right now, is the lifetime. The "semplicity" of a petrol car is also a point in favor of those vehicle. A Ford will still be usable in 15 years, doing the right maintenance. The Tesla software based cars could be also their disadvantage in a long period. I think these cars are not made for a long-term ownership (still i think there are so many points in favor that i'm planning to swap to EV and buying one this year)

[@nexusly6720]

they should lower the price of fsd base on how many months you've paid for the service. at some point they will find out how much people are willing to drop for the fsd. for me 2500 would be a no brainer and 4k would be something that I would consider if it will help resale/ swap it to a newer car.

I honestly just hope that when I plan to buy one next year, they don't remove the tax credits, or they replace it with a discount

[@s13n7ki11l3r]

elon has already said he doesnt care about the tax credit being removed since they make profit on the cars while everyone else who makes ev's is at a loss. unfortunately there might not be competition if that happens

[@NickAndTech]

@@s13n7ki11l3r there will still be competition, just mostly from China and BYD, they'll take the tariff hit to get into the US market and it'll even out prices so Tesla doesn't get hammered (and the rest don't get killed by $15k EVs)

I am in the same boat. Really wanted to wait until next year, but they gonna pull that EV credit out from under us all but guaranteed.

I feel this, had my tesla for a little over a year. Can never go back, unless its a car with the same type of Technology

[@jrhawk0032]

My summon keeps not working due to rain, not really sure what to do about that. If I wipe off the cameras, then I am already next to the car, which defeats the purpose. On a side note, my wife and I want there to be a Tesla van/SUV. The current Tesla options for 6-7 seats are a lot more cramped than a van. We have 3 kids and would also like to be able to put a lot of stuff in the trunk when we are taking a road trip. My Tesla of course has 3 back seats, but that puts the kids side by side and for a long trip that is not fun.

[@Gordie009]

The GM equinox EV might be good for what you are looking for. The new Subaru EV looks interesting too. But nothing matches the Tesla software.

[@מדינט]

I sold my M3P and went back to ICE, EV's are just not fun enough cars to drive, yet. But I drive sports cars, and I love to drive and don't want to use AP and anything like that, but for most people, sure, EV cars are nice.

[@appletech9535]

New FSD is a little crazy. Just now it was about to run a red light…it was slowing down the whole time but then slammed on the breaks right when it was at the crosswalk. Another incident with the update, the chime went off for a green light but it definitely was still red. Hurry is good but on these 45 and 50 roads (which hurry doesn’t work on) the car is still driving slow af or right at speed.

I think I'm an outlier in that I had some serious regrets after buying my Model Y, but I know now that there is a bit of a learnign curve and I'm now very happy with my decision.

[@kottuning3294]

Love my MSP, my favorite car I've ever owned. For the people like us who can have a charger installed in there house its a win, if you cannot it's a pain in the neck. If I had to go to a supercharger once or twice a week it would be a much different experience. Love the FSD, however very disappointed the ones of us with 150k MSP with HW3 are kind of being left in the dust now. If there isn't a clear upgrade path provided sooner then later I'll never buy another Tesla again out of principle. The millions of vehicles with HW3 should not be second class Tesla citizens considering where the ones who got this FSD model to where it is and were promised it would be sufficient. And keep in mind HW3 really only shipped for most vehicles late 2023 and early 2024 so it's not like you say HW3 vehicles are old. This is really my biggest and only gripe with my MSP

[@rhinous1199]

Elon already stated that anyone who purchased FSD on a HW3 vehicle will get their hardware upgraded for free.

I like the technology of a Tesla. I could deal with one if it had better quality control outside and a total restyle inside. That’s why I’m waiting on the Cadillac Optiq.

[@gabiruman]

Whenever I see someone comparing Teslas' performance with higher end, higher cost cars it's always the performance version. My man I have a 2019 Standard Range Plus Model 3 and I cannot fathom needing a better performing car, the acceleration and speed is insane and already gets me through every day scenario, I paid 25k€ for it so I think it's pretty cost effective when compared to other vehicles in the same segment. Even though it's a 2019 Tesla it still gets monthly updates, it's obviously not as fine tuned as most recent Teslas, this one still has the Intel CPU, it has the turn signal camera glare issue, the trunk is not automated, the range is a bit low for today's standards, etc... Still 2 of these things are fixable and the other 2 I can live with. I still want to make some improvements on it though when I get some "spare" money to waste... Even though I got used to it, I really would like a HUD screen, I just feel there are some things I shouldn't have to look over to the main screen to able to see and there are many options out there that look great, plus it adds Android Auto / Apple car play which for me is only necessary due to the lack of one app and that's Waze, I believe this is more of a European thing, but Waze is just better than Google Maps for big city driving due to real time traffic info that's way more accurate than Google maps, more than one time there were streets under consctruction, or accidents that Google has failled to warn me about while Waze is always updated. Another thing I'd like is physical buttons for some things, say what you want but even though most things are just a tap away it's still a capacitive tap you have to look over to make sure you're doing right, it takes away the attention from the road, physical is always better specially when you want to adjust climate settings or just have a shortcut to unlock / lock doors that's not a tiny icon on the screen. There are options for this you can add under the main screen that add various physical customizable buttons and they look great and even add some ambient lighting to the car. Even though I think these things could aready come with the car, I can understand that to make a car in this segment more affordable you have to cut some corners, and the fact there is such a huge after market to improve the car with accessories to your liking is another reason I love having a Tesla, most brands you can't find 3rd party accessories like this, you just have to accept the car as is or pay thousands for the brand to officially add it if there even is such an option.

The problem with Tesla is when the car has an issue only Tesla can fix. U looking at 2 weeks for appointment and then however long to repair. Then when u hit 100k and still owe 20,000 on your loan, supriise battery dead, warranty over and 20K for replacement battery. Now u stuck paying for a semi new car with a bad battery. U can always replace or rebuild a ice motor for 5K

[@st-ex8506]

You OBVIOUSLY have never owned a Tesla. A growing number of independent shops can repair Teslas... some of them even better than a Tesla center. Batteries last forever... well, over 500+k miles can pretty much qualify for most drivers as "forever"! And even if you are one of the very rare unlucky ones, whose battery suddenly dies after the warranty is over, the time of 20k battery replacements is long gone. It is now 12k-16k depending on the size. And even less if you opt for a reconditioned battery. BTW, I had a BMW engine die on me after only 81k miles... and a few months out of warranty. It cost me $10k back in 2003! You obviously don't know what you are talking about!
