Electric Vehicles: What No One Is Telling You.

Join this channel to get access to perks:

I worked at Tesla starting in July of 2017 as an Operations Analyst out of the Bethlehem, PA distribution center facility and left as a Program Manager based out of Austin, TX as of September 2021. I spent most of my time in the distribution and supply chain organizations.

Before Tesla, I was a Director of Business Intelligence and Pricing at the largest Pet Food & Supply distributor in the US, Phillips Pet Food & Supplies based out of Easton, PA. My wife and I also owned a small business in Bethlehem, PA between 2016 and 2019.

I have been a shareholder of Tesla since 2012 and currently own Tesla stock. Nothing I say constitutes as investment or financial advice.

My thoughts are my own and are not representative of everyone who currently works, or has worked at Tesla.

I was a sceptic tbh. 4 months ago I bought a model 3, 2024 model. I will NEVER go back to a dirty combustion engine...ever! I think i can say it actually changes your life in such a positive way, it's amazing. It took a little while to shake the nerves and go on a long trip (600 miles round trip), but i bit the bullet and shouldn't have been worrined at all. It's so much fun, it charges fast, chargers are everywhere and if your nervouse, just plan your journey and you'll be fine. I don't really think too much about it now. The car tells me where to go and when and it's all good - the infastructure is on point atm. I live in the UK by the way. Hopefully, one day, everybody will be driving electic cars and we can really start to clean up the mess we've made of this planet. Thank you Elon.

My wife and I bought a PAIR of Mach Es in 2021. We will never go back to gasoline. No gas stations, no oil changes, no water pump, fuel pump, transmission, exhaust, radiator, fuel injectors, alternator,
In 48, 000 miles, we've saved $1, 390.00 on oil changes alone. We save at LEAST $0.10 per mile over gasoline saving another $4, 800 on fuel. Best thing is, 92% of our charging is at night in the garage.

I've owned a Model 3 since July 2020 and can vouch for the Consumer Reports rating of Tesla as being the leader in low-cost maintenance. Over the nearly 4 years of my ownership experience, I have had zero trips to the Tesla Service Center, and the only maintenance tasks required were refilling the windshield washer fluid tank and keeping the air pressure in the tires properly inflated. My previous car was an older Chevy El Camino (which, incidentally, was used as Junior's daily driver in the Hawaii Five-O tv series). It broke my heart to sell that ICE ride, but the maintenance-free life with my Tesla has convinced me that EVs are the only way to drive.

I'm a tech person. I'm always amazed how fast the technology improves. I bought a very early digital camera for science/school projects for my kids. It was usable but basically obsolete 2 years later. EVs are in their infancy. There is so much money and innovation going into EVs we will barely recognize them in 5 years. Driving an ICE vehicle will feel like watching a black an white tube TV.

My first ev was a 2012 Ford Focus electric with a range of 80 miles on a good day. I even made that work with zero charging infrastructure. I haven't driven an ice as my daily driver since then. Now I drive a 2024 Model Y which I love.

I own a Model 3 LR for over five years - it is one of the first few Model 3 's in Germany - maintenance and repair costs in total 210 €. The second TüV (german car monitoring facility) visit was flawless and the tester thought the brakes were new installed, but they are not they from 2019. The Model 3 is absolutely reliable. Great car!

I am Tesla for life.
Thank you Farzad for your high quality channel here.

As SMR said: The more Teslas Tesla sells, the more Teslas Tesla sells. 🙂

Hey Farzad, I love this. Tesla needs to become considerably more visible to the general public. Despite the Model 3, Model Y, and even the Cybertruck (people buy overpriced gas trucks for $80-100K) being cheaper and more powerful than the ICE competition, the general public just doesn't know basic EV facts. I bought my Model Y Long Range AWD three years ago. I did not know anyone who owned a Tesla, although I had met a woman in her 80s happily driving an immaculate, older Model S. It seemed quite doable. Tesla needs more showrooms, even if only temporarily, to get the word out. They also need real live TV ads that explain the basics while showing people having fun driving their cars in regular ways - with families, bicycles, stuff on the roof rack, etc. Don't be afraid to talk about the price of the car and charging. Explain how charging at home is so inexpensive in comparison to gas. Talk safety and crash tests. Buying a Tesla eliminates the sleazy car sales tactics, jacked up prices, undercoating, special overpriced services, etc. Maybe even help people get a charger installed at their house.

My life partner and I both have EVs - I have a 2023 Tesla Model Y LR (Austin-built) and he has a 2023 Mustang Mach-E Extended Range. My sister just leased a 2024 Tesla Model 3 RWD a couple of weeks ago. All of us love our cars and agree we'd never go back to gas. The benefits and convenience of EVs over gas are obvious (charging at home, significantly less cost to charge vs gas, not affected by global oil supply and prices, no oil changes and tune-ups) and the driving experience is superior to gas (no transmission, high performance, quiet). As more people understand this, gas will die. I also like the fact that Russia, Iran, OPEC, etc no longer will have a stranglehold on the world.

I live in BC Canada, and am on my 4th EV since my first purchase in 2019. According to BC EV incentive program, The Province's suite of Go Electric programs are exceeding original targets and B.C. has the highest rate of EV adoption in the country. In 2023, approximately 23% of light-duty vehicle sales were EVs, an increase from 18% of sales in 2022. I live on the Sunshine Coast and that adoption is even higher as we have more EV's per capita than any other region in North America. In BC we are more environmentally proactive than other parts of the country.

This is the kind of content that I enjoy from you. It's stright foward and makes sense.

[a.g.e.theadamgermanyexperi]

I drive Uber in my Tesla Model 3, and I’ve done thousands of rides, and the insane level of ignorance and just plain false information held by the general public is astounding. After having a 5-10 min convo with most passengers that have misinformation and a bias AGAINST EVs, specifically Tesla, they’re typically ready to buy one or at least are strongly considering it. My intent is never to convince them to buy one, but to give them accurate information. As more people gain factual data about EV ownership and the minimal maintenance cost compared to ICE vehicles, it will only be a matter of time before more than 50% of all new car sales will be EVs in the United States.

At this point it’s almost laughable when people try to fight or argue against EV (Tesla specifically) ownership because objectively, there is not a compelling argument against it any more, other than personal preference and emotions. For most people it’s merely a lag in accurate information.

Study says almost all car companies sabotaging EV transition, Japan is worst

My parents just bought a Model Y and they love it

The problem I have with these tariffs aside from the fact that what they will do is temporarily give the legacy automakers more time to sell bullshit to the Americans. When in truth Chinese cheaper options would force them to compete. This is not unfair. This is exactly what the consumer wants, but because this government is so married to the interests of business over the people, it would rather create these tariffs and sustain high prices for lower quality products in America. Then simply allow the Chinese products to come in Forest competition and see who survives and who thrives. That's the way it should work. Shouldn't be about trying to protect businesses. Fuck businesses. It should be about if a business needs to die in order for our people to get cheaper products, then that's what happens. Should always be people first over business

[fast-trackhack]

Agreed

There's a mix of influence peddling, corruption, propaganda, arrogance, ignorance, etc...

[nocapproductions]

I am an engineer. I am not a huge fan of EV but I am a realist.
Gas cars have built in limit to how much performance they can have until they start using too much fuel to be viable.
That limit is calculated by thermodynamics and it says out of 10 liters of fuel, only 3 liters are used, 7 escape as heat due to inneficiency.
EVs on another hand dont have this built in limit, because electric motor has 95% efficiency.
As the batteries improve, EVs will have over 500 horsepower and will be covering over 500 miles on a single charge.
Thats why gas cars will not dominate forever.

[JosephHurtsellers]

As always love your videos Farzad.❤ I totally disagree with a consumer report report though. -- There's absolutely NO way it would cost $4, 000 to maintain a Tesla over 10 years. Tesla is not even close to the price of an ICE vehicle to maintain. We are 5 years in, and under 200 bucks. Tires will need to be replaced soon, but other than that it's virtually nothing.
Just my personal experience.

[Hotspur]

ICE companies are doing such a pathetic job of transition they are doing everything they can to slow the markter. Maybe they should stop spending money on the lobbing and start doing what they are supposed to be do build cars for the future. Then again as their customers are share holders not us here we are.,
