I have 38,000 miles on my Model Y, I changed my own filters. So zero service calls. I have those Seatbelt holders.. they are very helpful when you drop the back seats and put them back up. the seat belt stays in a good place, and for passengers, it makes it easier to find the seatbelts. I highly recommend them.. they are only a couple of dollars on Ali Express. I had an early build Model S and it was an adventure, back then Tesla was super accommodating, they would take the car in for squeaks and creaks and they would fix it for free. Luckily where I live the Service manager came from mercedes and he wants his service department to be run like a luxury center. He has a bay for detailing new cars which should be at all service centers. Our Model Y has been perfect, I think that I could flip it and not lose any money by getting a new one, but I will keep mine, I have ppf on the whole car, and I plan on keeping it for a long time (I sold my P85 model S at 121,000 miles and checked in with the people that bought it.. they wound up getting a Model y and a new model X eventually) I can't imagine having a gas car

[@vegasteslafamily]

This is awesome to hear! We definitely would use those seat holders if we ever used the backseats! Will likely get them in the future.

Great video! It’s great watching you both and your Tesla experience. I have a 2018 Model S 100D. I live in California and here they have a charging network called EVCS. They offer a subscription based charging or charge as you go. I drive many miles so I opted for the unlimited charging at anytime which is $199/ month. This network is only available in California, Oregon and Washington. It’s a huge savings for me. I only use Tesla chargers in an emergency because I have the EVCS subscription. The only downside to EVCS, at most locations in California, is the they are only 50kwh of power which takes me about an hour and 15 minutes to charge from 20-80%. I don’t mind because I’m saving tons on electric costs.

[@vegasteslafamily]

Thank you! I didn’t know that was a thing. Sort of like the Tesla supercharger network for non-Tesla EV’s it seems. How’s the reliability?

[@l0b0m0]

[@vegasteslafamily]

Thank you 👊

[@Annette_Hons]

the Nevada standard rate is .14484 cents per kWh for home charging. But you can sign up for time of use plan (we chose not to do that) for slightly cheaper rates.

[@vegasteslafamily]

Good points!

[@vegasteslafamily]

Very! No issues but our car was still very new so there was like no paint damage or anything like that anywhere else

[@hayden708]

The off peak cost in California (PGE) is 0.35/kwh in 2024, 3X what it used to cost when we got our first tesla in 2015. This makes some supercharging stations cheaper than home charging during off peak hours. All Californians (at least northern) are paying for the cost of all the fires the past few years. PGE F's up, customers pay.

[@vegasteslafamily]

That’s crazy! We’re close to that in vegas though too.

[@peterwundersitz3715]

One more comment: I will run my Model Y Charger between 10:00 hrs and 14:00 hrs, give or take, depending on the sun, and charge only on the excess solar that I presently sell to Ergon, my power provider. My neighbour has 40000 klm's on his car which was totally solar powered.

[@manatee123]

Not mentioned enough is one only gets a Telsa or EV if having home charging. Your 0.10 to 0.18 per kwh home charging rate is conservative. I've heard as low as 6 cents/kwh off-peak in some parts of the country. In my area (VA) off-peak is 9 c/kwh. Also honestly why would anyone NOT charge off-peak at home? All it takes a little planning. My MYLR averages only 1/5 in energy cost (with home charging) vs similar gas car. I only supercharge on long trips, much more $$ but ok once in a while.

[@vegasteslafamily]

I agree. Some people don’t (or refuse) to understand this. “But it takes too long”

[@vegasteslafamily]

All your choice. But if you charge for free at work, and spend $200/week in gas… that’s $800/week extra in your pocket. By that math, if you finance and have a monthly payment of anything under $800/mo, you’re literally saving money. That’s a lot of gas lol

All these Honest reviews leave out the Honest real cost. You never save any money no matter what gas/electric brake down charts shown. The purchase price alone will usally absorb any fuel savings being EV cars on average cost 20% more to purchase than its ICE equivalent. Insurance cost is typically 3X the cost over its ICE equivalent. That's the hidden cost even after all incentives it still cost more to own. However I do enjoy the EV power and all the positives of the drivetrain advantanges of deletes. No oil, EVAP, exhaust, transmission, noise, CEL malfunctions, O2 sensor issues, etc...

[@vegasteslafamily]

I broke down all the costs. Insurance on our Model Y is actually a little cheaper than it was on our Honda civic. Other than a higher purchase price, it absolutely does not cost more to own.

[@prebaned]

@vegasteslafamily that's good. Not my experience, nor other people I know and have read about. Kinda sounds crazy a cheaper car with same coverage would be be cheaper to insure than a more expensive car, and on that has extremely high replacement parts only available from Tesla with no aftermarket.

@@NatashasNiche the in-car nav will tell you when & how long to charge, to make to next charger on route (or destination.) It usually takes 10-20mins to get a good amount of charge, enough to go like 100-200miles more until next charger. As they mentioned, since you often have to stop for bathroom or food/stretch break by that amount of driving anyway, it is really NO time lost since you just plug in , walk away and do whatever you need to, then app dings you when almost done so you know to start coming back to car. Unlike gas cars where you really have to sit and hold the gas nozzle for several minutes, maybe go in and pay, THEN walk to bathroom, etc. After ~8k roadtrip miles so far, I've only had to wait for car handful of times, and often that is at end of trip.. I could have planned better by getting takeout and eat in car to save time, etc... but also many times I had free overnight charging at hotel w/ level2 charger, so evens out a bit. It is a bit of mindset change, but it ends up working very nicely, the charge stops/breaks plus free AutoPilot helping drive the car on highway, means even after full day of driving, you are NOT very tired at all, especially compared to gas car!
