I really wish I could afford a Tesla. Should have pulled the trigger when it was 38k for the model 3.

[Busy-D]

What really sold me into buying a MYP was how comfortable I am sitting in the driver seat especially for a long road trip. Usually I have to stretch every time I make a stop in any vehicle. On my recent 6000 mile trip, I was never fatigue nor my body was sore. The bolster and cushion hit my back just right. The basic autopilot kept my hands down at the bottom of the steering wheel which adds to the comfort factor. Normally, I would have hands up on top of the wheel.

Ten year Tesla owner on 4th Tesla (3 MS's and M3) and all electric for 10 years now. Never going back. We charge our two Tesla's off our solar powered home, which also includes two Powerwall batteries to supplement our solar PV system, and have been net zero for last ten years producing more electricity than we use.

[TheMoegig]

One of the big conveniences you didn't mentioned specifically that I like a lot is "single pedal driving". When Autopilot is not in use, it gives you precision control in and out of traffic when merging or changing lanes or successive traffic lights. Love it. Great video. Another Tesla design advantage is a clear roof. Passengers were amazed at the visibility as I drove them through Yellowstone last year. Not just because it's electric, the car's overall design is genius in every other category. IMHO.

I totally agree about the long travels. I went from Sacramento to San Diego and the stops gave me time to use the bathroom. It's about 2 hours in between charges. Used enhanced autopilot for the first 4 hours or so of driving and then wanted to do some driving myself. The model 3 is fun to drive after all.

[davesemmelink]

Fun fact: Tesla recently updated the software to force the physical brakes to be applied occasionally, because the disks were rusting from lack of use!

[mezar]

As it stands I alternate from 260 miles to 160 miles weekly due to work. In one month I average about 840 miles and will average 10, 080 miles this year (not including road trips).
The only reason I have been hesitant to go long distance is the fuel cost. When I drove a tesla from home to the beach, the 120.00 saved from refueling was spent at a nice restaurant, gifts shop, and other activities for the family. Instead of a huge chunk of change going straight to fuel.. I was stimulating the economy by spending at small businesses. I feel that is a side effect often over looked when going electric.

To and from cost 149.5 miles one way
Tesla Beach trip fuel cost 28.44
Mini cooper trip fuel cost 145.00

Long comment to say my Tesla Model 3 will be delivered in Nov - Dec of 2022

Honestly before this video, I was highly contemplating on canceling my order of my Tesla but this video definitely makes me feel better about my purchase in the long run. Thank you Ryan! Haha

[ezpoppy]

Nicely done, Ryan. Glad you included more “big picture” perspective in this video.

I’ve had my M3 SR+ for nearly 15 months, ~16, 000 miles, and it is doing great. Average 250 miles/week, and that costs me about $7.00/week to charge at home, which is where I do the vast majority of my charging. Road trip charging is more expensive, of course, but still far cheaper compared to fossil fuel costs.

Keep up with the great videos and info.

[EveLivesToTravel]

Ryan, I LOVE your videos! We have had 2 used Leafs. Our current one we've had for quite a few years and it is already 9 years old. THIS Saturday, I am FINALLY getting my first Tesla and I CANNOT wait! I have been doing SO much research before picking it up, that I almost feel like I know my new, "Eevee" (that will be her "name"). You and several other YouTubers have helped me immensely, but I really enjoy your enthusiast, yet calming and techie demeanor. THANK YOU!

[JensPilemandOttesen]

Good list. Good priotitized order.

I picked up MY MY today.

[Robulite]

I live in an apartment complex on the second floor. I got that splitvolt you recommended and plugged it into my dryer outlet and toss the extension cord off the balcony once a week. Even with having to do that it's still saving time over a gas station lol

[JPatel]

1:55 Also I’ve noticed the car itself just stays cleaner over time compare to ice cars and they don’t give off that suffocating heat you feel when standing next to ice cars in the summer.

[chiro-quack-tor]

I have 2 electric cars and solar panels on my garage roof……………………… everyone's crying about gas but not me... I love all the positives… quiet quiet… And I don't have to go to a smelly gas station... I don't have to wait for the engine to warm up a little I just go... However if we do take a long trip we take the hybrid Chevy Volt...

[josephbscott]

This video is a keeper! Good talking points and information. Clean presentation too.
I enjoy your work, Thank you

My used 2015 Nissan Leaf is still on its original battery pack. I have experienced most of the EV benefits you mentioned in your video. My next EV in the near future is going to most likely be a used Tesla Modle 3.

[mikegibson]

It's always entertaining when people share their opinions without actually owning or experiencing a Tesla. I just got my second Tesla and calculated my TCO for the 45 months on my previous owned Model 3 Long Range (WOW). I did get it during the federal and state incentive combined was $9k. It was cheaper than any new vehicle to own and drivie. Comparing an old ICE that is already paid for is a funny comparison.

[rayshepherd]

I have owned a p85dl since late 2014. I find the wind and tire noise to be about the same as the overall noise of my newer ICE vehicles. Tire wear is higher than most ICE because of the added weight. If you include the amount of CO2 emitted during production it takes quite a while for an ICE to break even Volvo did an extensive study of their XC40 EV versus their XC40 ICE and found with current mix of electric generation it takes 70, 000 miles before the ICE emits as much as the EV. Even with all wind power generation it takes 27, 000 miles.

I mostly just road trip and don’t have a charger at home, and charging still hasn’t been an issue. My favorite feature is that I can chill in the car with the climate controls on but without having to idle. Also that in stopped traffic I’m not burning fuel.

[antonyjackson]

4:08 - that is one of my local charging hubs in Scotland at Strathclyde Country Park 😎 Hello from other side of Atlantic 🤓 I was there 90 mins ago!
