The REAL Cost of Owning a Tesla

The prospect of owning a Tesla fills many of us with excitement, but the price point can seem a little high when compared to a similar combustion engine car. Have you ever wondered what the real cost is to Tesla ownership? We were wondering if the claims to earn your money back had any substance, so we set out to explore all the costs involved in owning a Tesla when compared to a conventional car.

The REAL Cost of Owning a Tesla

Lesson 1 in video creation:
talk about numbers? put numbers on screen.

I didn’t know that the lizard from geico is reviewing cars now.😂😂😂

[odilbekmatyokubov]

I am going to buy a Tesla, just working on my dreams.🔥

[scavengersredemptaliation]

THIS VIDEO TITLE SHOULD BE " THE REAL REASON YOU SHOULD BUY TESLA"

[mrsillyvest]

I wish you included a summary of the total cost at the end of the video

Success usually comes to those who are too busy looking for it. If you want a tesla, you don’t need to be rich to get one.

[redrockdesign]

You skipped the most important aspect: depreciation

[manueldavid]

calculated over 5 years it's actually a lot cheaper to buy/lease and maintain a Tesla Model 3 than ANY other similarly sized car. The savings are mindblowing. And this being both the safest and most advanced car on the market.

[abarrick]

I purchased my model 3 for 47k and received 6k in cash rebates. I drove the car 40k miles in the first year and it cost me a total of $240. I’ve had 0 maintenance cost so far. Put that I perspective my previous BMW cost me 2k in the year just in service. Let alone the $3800 I spent on fuel on 30k miles a year in that car. Purchasing a tesla is more economical than people think even at 47k.

You did not mention charging times which is still a huge barrier for us mortals.

[bchen]

Great video, lots of good research. Just in 5 years, it saved ~5k, what about in 10 years when the combustion engine car has more major services needed? 10+?

[Lirky]

Look, I've never put a thumbs down button to videos (and this was the first), but the title was a bit of clickbait. After watching it, there are no real numbers there (but for an approximate fuel and yearly service cost), no numbers written on screen, etc.
The REAL cost ?
I would have expected a way more in depth analysis.
I'm not an ICE lover, btw. I will be owning a Telsa Mod 3 by the end of the year. I love Tesla etc. But I can't really put a thumbs up on this very simple video.

Me : who don't even own a 2wheeler
YouTube: real cost of owning a Tesla
Me: interesting 😋

[khanhphu]

It's really nice to me (from a non-English country) that your voice speed could be slower and the content should put more numbers every time you talk about them. Thank you.

[dhillon]

4:00 I want to see his video ? Link maybe ?

[Mr.Mariuzz]

I really enjoy your videos, keep it up!

[felixgao]

Don't forget the insurance and registration cost. My ICE car usually cost me $5-600 for a full year of insurance, the M3D cost more than $1, 700 a year. Also registration for ICE is like $200 per year while M3D cost around $640

[gabrielm.]

Hey, could you do another video but focus on the leasing part (if you can, get any hidden costs). Love your vids.

[uhhcoolstory]

Definitely gonna buy the 25k car when it comes out. As long as it’s not the classic small box ev

[GETREALLYRICH]

Could you do a similar video showing the numbers all compared side by side?
