Just wanted to say that Tesla DOES include a License Plate Holder however it's mounted with double sided tape and can damage your paint so we don't even think they exist! I recommend the Snap Plate as this protect your paint while still obeying state laws!

@@MC-gj8fg this is why I changed insurance company. I bought a new car, checked the (edit: the one that I used at the time) insurnace companys homepage which said $x amount, so I called them to get a better price. In the call she said she could not give me a better price than $even more than their homepage... So I said, "that was funny, cause I can get a better price on your homepage... " Said politly I did not want anything todo with them again. Called another company, and they said almost half the price from my previous company without me not even trying to get a cheaper price...

California is now in the bottom 10% of all states in road quality. Then CA charges $1100/year in Registration fees for Model X plus 7.25% sales tax. So, for a $60K Tesla, you’re paying $5450 to the state just to put it on the road. That’s outrageous. Insane.

Thanks, Jan for that quick rundown of expected and optional costs. I have a Model Y LR and I added the floor mats and trunk mat too. I also had the PPF applied and it has helped avoid rock chips but the front bumper gets lots of bugs which don't come off easily. Some detailers recommend ceramic coating rather than PPF as it cleans up more easily. I also needed the front plate mount as the one supplied by Tesla uses stick-on tape which failed over the winter. Other than those accessories, I've gotten along just fine without any other additions. My car came with the charge cable and included the 120V adapter. Tires do cost a lot and I swapped out the OEM tires for all-season tires as I drive in snow conditions often. The video is a good reality check on actual cost additions, thanks again.

Nice video. One thing that was understated in the video is fuel cost. I'm on the east coast and I have a wall charger at home. The cost of electricity to move my Y is about 1/4 of the cost to move a 30 mpg car using regular gas over the same distance. Yes, your electric bill will increase, but it costs much less that the gasoline you would have purchased. That absolutely adds up.

Even better for Australia - other benefits for EV's over ICE in Australia include - State based stamp duty exemption (this is a duty / tax of about 4% based on the total value of the car on first registration and every subsequent transfer between owners) - Less luxury car tax (a tax of 33% of the value of the car on purchase above about $50k USD, this does not apply to EVs until they exceed $58k) - No salary package tax (20% of the total purchase value is taxed per year if you package / receive a car as part of your compensation) - exempt for EVs - We get car mats - don't forget the car mats! - Premium connectivity is $9/month but that's AUD = only $5.70 USD - Enhanced Autopilot is $3260 USD, FSD is $6450 USD

I had to shop around and switched. Ironically, my Mercedes ML had a normal rate with AAA. Even the agent wasn’t sure why it was so expensive.

That is a good point about the Registration but as you note - the car costs more. One thing that is becomging more prevelent is - Extra EV charges for road tax - since many EVs charge at home; the state gets no taxes from that to maintain the roads and pay for the state patrol so in my state Washington there is a $750 Extra road tax for EVs. To be fare those the State drops sales tax on EVs so you save up front but they make you pay it back in 3-4 years with this extra tax; and in 4 or 5 years you'll be paying more over all taxes.

My Tesla insurance is $60/mo. Virginia does not have high registration fees but they have an annoying property tax. Las year my tax went up because prices were so high, this year they should come way down. But that has nothing to do with it being an EV, just the value. I paid $1100 for an electrician to install a level 2 charger in my garage. That will be a selling point whenever we move. I have since discovered dryer/EV splitters that cost $200-300. But no repairs, oil changes, or other maintenance costs. I also found that tire manufacturers now have EV tires that last the same as ICE tires and cost the same. A ceramic spray that costs $12 is all you need to protect the car from bugs and small rock chips. Accessories cost about $500.

so, all prices are based on the CA experience/economy and do not reflect prices in other states. I will agree there are different costs associated with an EV compared to a ICE car; however, some are associated with items across both types and should not have been included, such as HOV sticker, tint, ppf, wrap, floor mats, etc. does home owners insurance go up if you have an EV (because fires)? what, if any tax incentives are there for an EV not including the initial tax credit? it seems EVs gouge early on, but costs seem to diminish at year 2, 3, 4, and so on. Do charge to 80% and stop, or do you go beyond that?

Not sure what you’re going on about there. You went from a compact economy car to a mid sized luxury SUV. If you went out and bought an Audi Q5 or BMW X5, you’d spend more on the purchase, more on maintenance like oil changes and scheduled dealer maintenance, more on tires, more on car registration, more on gas and about the same as Model Y on insurance. You’d also spend more on PPF because legacy car makers have more parts and more individual body pieces that need to be covered.

Hint. Move out of California- that has got to be the worst place, government wise, in the United States (maybe with the exception of New York). Our insurance here in KY is 140 a month for a M3 standard range and a M3Performance. One-time taxes were steep compared to North Carolina (which is where we moved from) at 6%. Tire cost is relative- the cost will be derived from the tire size. The lower profile and bigger rim size, the more expensive. And, going from 20” to 21” will incur a sustantial price hike. The most expensive tire I ever purchased was for my BMW X5 45e.. 530 dollars for ONE Bridgestone Alenza. I replaced the front tires for my Model X and the total cost for high-grade Continentals was 490 dollars.

1:28 when I went from my Chevy bolt ev to my model y performance, I went from $200 to $719 for registration and I did a little digging on why it’s so expensive. It has to do with the weight of the vehicle, not the value, or else the registration would go down each year as the car gets older and devalues.

In North Carolina, my registration fee was $ 340. Insurance is $80 per month. Cost to have an electrician install the home charger was $ 1095 all of was refunded by Duke Energy. I haven't put on any film and wash my car at home. Charging costs are 14 cents per kilowatt. The car is fully paid for. No front license plate holder for North Carolina although one came with the car. I bought the Tasmanian floor mats which are great. A few other accessories totalling $ 100 plus a shade for the glass roof. . I've had the car for 5 months and love it. I have a truck that I haven't put gassed up in months since buying the Tesla.

I crossed shopped a Model Y and a Nissan Ariya for car insurance in CA. My Ariya cost me $98/month with anticipated driving of 13,500 miles annually. This includes gap insurance for the first 2 yrs. California just had a premium increase in Feb 2023. I was told my premium will be going up in Jan 2024. Insuring the Model Y was 30% MORE than my Nissan Ariya. It pays to do your due diligence.

Interestingly enough, our Prius Prime has 13,000 miles on it and the dealership said the tread is low and they tried to sell us tires. I told them that I wouldn't want to buy new tires from them if they only last 13,000 miles.

@@jabulaniharvey Yes, I know how regenerative braking works. The CNC machining centers in my shop had it more than 25 years ago to brake the spindles when the program commanded a spindle stop. On those machines there was no battery to charge, so the electrical energy generated was dumped into heating coils to be dissipated. So it's misleading to say that the battery in an EV is used to slow down the car. The battery is simply the opportune beneficiary of the mechanical drag that the motor/generators are applying to the wheels.

A lot of these are only applicable to your specific circumstances / location but it is worth pointing out these costs for people to do their own analysis, also pointing out it's not like for like per car - Imagine going from a Prius to say an Audi SQ5. For example for me in Australia I did a more realistic like for like swap from a 2019 Audi Q5 V6 twin turbo diesel (SQ5), we put 48,000 miles on the car in 3 1/2 years - it went through 2 sets of tires (even wear all round) and total operating costs (in $USD) was $15,200 over that time (ex registration & insurance) - At $700 a year for the Tesla my insurance is $200 cheaper. The Tesla is actually lighter & registration is weight based so my registration is $90 cheaper and my tires are lasting longer and cost less per tire on the Tesla than the Audi. Diesel is $6 a gallon and electricity is $0.17c / kwh. I did spend $450 plus $900 on installing a 415V / 3 Phase charger, breaker and separate meter as well for the Tesla but it paid for itself within 6 months.

Get a Lexus LX 460 V8 and the Cost of Maintenance is like nothing in first 10 years of Ownership from New; and if one were to look for a Pristine Used LX 460 which would have saved about 10-15% = about 2-year-old and low mileage; and the next 8 years would be a boon. The Tessie Moroons if one "had" bought in October 2022; and even only had driven 50 km = yes 50 km only; the Resale value of those Tessie Moroons -- Model X, Y and/or 3 would be 24-35% less in April 2023. (Yes only drove less than 100 km or 60 miles -- around the Lot and parked only) = What's a Laugh 😆 😆 Only Fools would do so investments! You lost big time! Buddy!! Tessie Owners!
