Unexpected Costs of Owning a Tesla Model Y...

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!

I like Tesla cars but I ll stick to my 9 year old handa crv. In this economy, save money as much as possible.

The insurance premium surge just happened to our family, too. We pay twice a year for model 3 and Y. It used to be around $1700, but all of a sudden, our bill came to over $4300. That's about $9000/year for just two not so luxurious EVs with mediocre resale values. So, I tapped into the Tesla Insurance, and it became around $2000 or $4000/year. I know it's still expensive, but savings from pumping gas and maintenance somewhat offsets.

that's Kalifornia

Is tesla going to support the functionality of these cars when they are 20 years old? My 20 yo gas vehicles still work just fine

There are not a lot of extra costs, the PPF would cost the same on any other car. Totally misleading video

It’s not a dealership, it a store. No other cars come with rubber mats. I think the video is misleading. Do you mention how much in gas you have not needed to buy ?

Change to Tesla insurance it will be 1/2

I have 62,000 miles on my car tires right now… they have an 80,000 mile warranty I’d be a little disappointed if my tires lasted 30-40k miles

At what point do you realize that you've been had?

Tesla compared with Prius. Is that Apples to Apples?

People had better pay attention to the fact you had to replace the HV battery within 50K miles. That's ridiculous, and I bet you paid a fortune for that warranty.

For the simple fact of having an electric car, you should pay less for license registration, or you should not pay at all. Because you are supposedly helping global warming, well that's what they tell you, which in my opinion is not true.

Most people who have an electric car think that they are going to save on gasoline, and because you are supposedly going to save money every year by not doing maintenance on your car, and the reality is not like that.

Thank you for your information, I wish that the majority of Utuber were like you, that they tell the whole truth, what is hidden when having an electric car.
Other Utubers always say everything positive about electric cars, they never say anything negative, and that in my opinion is not right because it is pure positive advertising for these cars.

With this I am not trying to say that there is not something good about these electric cars, and in my opinion it is their technology and only that, and that is what the Tesla car has.

My State Farm car insurance more than doubled from last year. Thankfully I don't live in California. And I drive an old manual Corolla, cost around $650 to register and get tags, I was shocked. But hearing your prices I feel better now.

The regeneration occurs via the motor not the battery

The depreciation on a Tesla is extremely high now too.

I think Japan paid for this ad to promote Toyota and Lexus 😊

Biggest positive. No longer have to go to a gas station hahahahaa.

Should have kept the Prius and Lexus ... good cars, cheap to reg, likely paid for. How much gas can you save?

.....IT'S CALLED ''GREED''. ....PEOPLE HATE GREED .... So people Stop feeding The Greed ... CEO'S AND SALESMAN GOUGE PEOPLE.
One thing leeds to another ...$$$$

The highest cost by far was left out DEPRECIATION. Way more than an ICE car.

A Testla in it's current state is BAD deal for suckers.

Toyota hybrid is less than 15 k + than a Tesla, this should have always been the push since there isn't but maybe 2 or 3 semi affordable options in the electric car market. BYD is taking over the market for a reason.

Very informative video. This push for EVs is a scam that the taxpayers will eventually have to pay. No EVs for me.

Most people buy vehicles under or around $20,000.00. They do not buy $40,000.00

Stupid cars for stupid people.

💩on tesla

Thanks for the thorough cost breakdown , Jan

State far, dropped me after 30 years as a customer. I have USAA but there are better options outnthere

Over a grand in tag???!!!! I have a 90k X5 and it’s half that

California is nuts. Wi registration is $175. Car insurance at USAA is similar to ice cars. For model s plaid $1,200.

Teslas are overly expensive Ugly bloat boxes

Fake cars,bad for the environment... only fools and horses 🫶🏻

In 2022 I bought my model Y brand new, was 23 years old and a male, it was $1800 a year😂 it went up only $50/mo from my Honda civic

$1400 for 4 tires that is crazy!!, I paid $560 for 4 tires on Prius Prime !!!

$3300 a years that is crazy! I live in New York City and own a Prius Prime and a Sienna, Pay $2500 A year for 2 cars, full coverage...

I read a comment somewhere where people say that the reason tires wear down faster is because some people tend to drive more aggressive in electric cars. I had a Nissan leaf where the tires lasted for 45k

Hmm you know the hov sticker is only valid for 3 years??

I have never spent more than $120.00 a month on gas. And she’s paying $1,000.00 a month for electricity,? That’s crazy- ,as electricity goes up every year, she will be paying $1700.00 a month to charge her car in 4-5 years. Now insurance companies and charging 300. To $400.. a month to insure it. There’s no way that it is cheaper that a gas car. She’s full of crap.

If you have some extra cash, that's O.K. Otherwise your two last cars have been proven to last longer at lower cost.

Great video. Thank you. I stick to my 2012 Honda Civic. Runs like a clock and very low maintenance, I use the money I save to invest.

Wow I can’t believe how cheap everything is in the USA. Double the price of everything she mentioned and you’ll start to get in the ballpark of what all these addons and costs are in Canada.

Cali and tesla bad combo money pit

Nice video i dont own one but sure learned alot thanks😂😂😂😂

Wow, $3.000 a year for insurance is insane. I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT truck and I pay $600 a year in Illinois for full coverage insurance. I know a new car should be more, but not $2.400 more, maybe $1.500 a year would be a good price. These insurance companies are robbing people. I have paid $600 a year for my insurance for 9 years and never made a claim, so they just take my $600 every year and I never get anything for it.

There should be a law that every year if you do not make a claim on your insurance you get 40% of that money back, because you are literally paying them money for nothing, you get punished for being a good driver and never having an accident. I had one accident in my life, in 1985, and it was ruled the other person was at fault. So I have been paying for car insurance for roughly 50 years and only made one claim, that was not my fault.

i’d like to know the value of the repairs done under warranty….these will become a massive liability post warranty. not for me!

😂 It's amazing how much they charge you for every little thing. I can't wait to see your videos when you are out of warranty. 😅

my model y cost 1100

The driving score on Tesla isn’t bad. I’m only paying ~80-110/mo.

You went from probably the best car you can buy to junk. The Prius is probably the best ergonomics, and has one of the best reliabilities in the market. And the Prius uses regenerative braking also. The purchase cost is amazing good considering that you are paying about as much as a similar gas car.
