The EV MARKET HAS CRASHED So I Bought 2 Teslas

Their cars are sitting on the market because they don’t make as good as quality as Tesla vehicles their software is way behind. There are Teslas on the lot because there are more Teslas and I’m sure like other manufacturers they probably have good cars and bad cars.

All i see here in chattanooga is Teslas, and strangely enough, Defenders.

I would never buy the Standard Range Model 3. You will beat up the battery more for the same miles of driving. I would only buy the Model 3 Long Range (LR). Between battery degradation, extreme weather, and taking a long trip, having more battery equals more range potential. Also, I’ll bet the resale percentage is better on the LR than the mid-range or Standard Range.

On a Model S, I would only consider cars that were 75 Kilowatt hour or higher, 90-100 being best.

80k miles is very low even for earlier model

Wate till they need a battery lol

Mileage is no problem for Teslas. My Model Y has 138,600 miles on it and has no issues.

Awesome video. And thanks for the shout-out! I love your thoughts on all this new tech :)

Funny how people say the EV market has crashed when sales are still increasing. But glad you got a good deal.

I had a model three with long range. It drove great, but range was really not over 300 and I was always having to look for a charger when I went anywhere outside of my local area. It was a pain. I ended up going hybrid without charging capability because it’s so much easier to just gas up.

Great content open to the future technology

Well to go from my 2008 Nissan Hybrid to the 2023 model Y LR w/FSD took me 20 minutes and to go from my 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 to my Tesla Cyber truck took me 15 minutes to get used to it. Admittedly, the Cyber truck is a lot more fun.

The batteries should last at least 200K miles, so I do not thing you will regret your purchases.

The EV market has already peaked in the USA and many current EV owners are
looking to dump their EV and buy a good old reliable and convenient ICE engine car.

Insurance! As an average driver doing 10-15k miles a year, most if not all your savings on gas will be offset by higher insurance costs on a NEW EV in my experience. So, insuring a USED EV could be a decisive consideration, for or against a purchase. My agent advised me that Teslas cost the most to insure.

Tesla for 5k and under? 😳😳😳😳

I appreciate your perspective, which I understand is that you are going to try and be fair and balanced. All I can tell you is, I am driving my second EV and love it. But I do want to hear your honest perspective. Thank you.

The tesla price cuts were over a year ago.

Brandon, as a car dealer who knows autos, you have checked the Teslas you bought for software updates right? Whether its Ice or EV you need to make sure the vehicle has the latest updates....

Great idea for a channel. Looking forward to seeing additional episodes!

Hey Brandon! Glad you’re taking on these topics more. Just like the EV owners need to be aware of their biases the ICE lovers need to be aware of their biases. There are a lot of false or distorted narratives out there. I hope you can sort through these on both sides to bring more clarity on the truth. I think your video with Farzad really helped to begin this balancing of views.

I drive a chevy bolt. The reason I got it was because the downturn in used EV prices and the tax credit made it affordable. I always wanted an electric car that could not afford one. I got a 2022 Chevy bolt for 16,000 I absolutely love it. It was the only car I have ever enjoyed driving. I have previously driven in Corollas. I will absolutely try to buy eevee's from now on as long as I can get one that I can afford. If eevee's cross the same as internal combustion engine vehicles they would be adopted at a much higher rate. Except for the Chevy bolts most TVs are out of people's price range. This is why people are not adopting them en masse

Why is Tesla predictions on mileage optimistic? Well it depends on you drive. Take a look at the average consumption on watts per mile on the display. If it's 250 W/ mile you're getting 4 miles per kWH, if only 200 W/mile then you get 5 miles per kWH. My electric bill shows about 8 cents a kWH but it's really 16 cents after all the additional charges. So for 10 kWH I get usually get 40 miles for $1.60 driving the 55 mph speed limit or sometimes 50 miles if I'm just tooling around town like at 35-40 mph. If you drive 70 to 80 mph you're going to use more power (Watts) per mile. Same if you floor it at every light all the time.

Bottom line is your probably gonna get less range than predicted, But will be enjoying your Tesla more. You have plenty of range with the Model 3 75 kWH battery anyways.

“….missing deliveries…” Huh??? We ordered a brand new Model Y on July 10th, paid cash, got built in Fremont, railed to us with a delivery 16 days later.

Just lease don’t buy I regret my purchase. Love the model Y but wish I leased not purchased

Wait didn't you say that the Model S had $200,000 miles on it and the battery was replaced in the other video😮 so whas the battery replaced at $100,000 miles😮

As the batteries approach their life’s end they release gases that give off no odor and are undetectable, depending on the severity of the leakage any type of ignition (ie static electricity, or any spark) and the EV will explode this is with all EVs , should one battery cell become punctured or damaged it spreads like a virus to the others

Do you interested in review Tesla accessories?We are very popular brand

Bought my wife a model y last week. I have been a Tesla fan for a while so I had high expectation of the car and it blew my mind. It’s so much fun to drive and is cheap as hell to charge at home.

How much are battery replacements ? and do they eat away at Tires since they are heavy cars ?

I hope you plan on keeping them. Who in their right mind would buy one? You have to go to Tesla for repairs. First trip would cost as much as the car cost.😮

great start - many thanks

It would be good to see what used EVs are at the auctions because the EV space is not just Tesla

EVs are the best ….its time to get rid of all ICE cars ………ICE is like riding a horse ……..

⁠hertz still are at fault due to their policies. They shouldn’t have required such as high state of charge upon return. I rented one and Hertz was clueless. Poor training too. Hertz should have just bought some teslas for one location to start and get all the kinks out with training and charging policies. Then roll out to other locations. And them buying the cars at peak Covid prices is stupid too.

My 2017 model S has over 120k miles. Been good so far.

An S is more performance based and a little faster. Both better than a gas car for stop and go driving.

I own gas and electric

EV's are so desirable they had to be mandated by the government 😆

I'll never willingly or happily purchase an EV. Vote trump to make sure gas vehicles stay around.

Drop hasn’t been as crazy as they say. Paid almost exactly that for a salvavage ms during the pandemic pricing era for one about the same. With $1k in repairs and another 90k in miles, no retreats.
Don’t buy the hertz bs. The cars for sale all where within the normal miles to sell off. Remember back during the pandemic Teslas were some of the only cars they could get. With their bankruptcy, they need the stock price price since they had to dump their ice cars to make ends meet. The whole ev excuse is a cop out to not drop the stock price now that cars are available again, and doesn’t require further charging equipment.
Costs have come down with the price of batteries and scale. Added to this the price war, and incentives Tesla haven’t been able to get for years, and it’s cheaper to go new (why go used = cheaper used).
Ford is getting burned by not integrating. If they decided to buy their engines and transmissions for someone else, who much would a gas f150 cost? That and lesser tech by trying to reuse their hybrid parts that are less appropriate. Once you price that a Tesla prices, you’re going to have a tough go of it for a Mach e.
Not for everyone. I keep my old cars for the weekends. For your normal $3k going to be the normal 10-15 delay that they get new cars anyway.
Prefer a free supercharge Tesla, a raven ms/x or lfp m3.

Nicely done!

The "anti-EV" side is probably more against being FORCED to buy EVs due to CAFE and emission standards that need to be rescinded. Many of those are a result of the hysteria from the hoax known as climate change. EVs are around 7-8% of market share in the US so hardly a driver of what people want.

Great video! I appreciate your insight! I currently live in WA State where I'm hoping to take advantage of the EV rebate and tax credit. I'm considering financing a preowned 2020 Model 3 standard range plus with 11,296 miles for $24,999! I'm hoping to really get a great OTD price and combine with other incentives (student credit and rebates) to keep my monthly payment affordable. I do think it's interesting that the state and federal rebate is specifically for low income individuals (AGI less than $75K for single filers). Crazy! I'm hoping to get an insurance quote to see exactly how affordable this car can be for the "average" person

Hummmm🤔 EVs or gas? With over 7thousand miles of long distance traveling i do every year, i need the range that EVs just cant provide. I got rid of my model S 2 weeks ago but kept my jaguar XJl. 3 minutes to fuel for a range of 570 miles. I think I'll simply leave well enough alone....

Please EV’s we’re a dumb Government idea to push their “Green” agenda on us taxpayers… and they forgot to think about the failing GRID (blackout coming soon) and lost revenues from Gas taxes!! Figures!!

This guy says the EV market crashed other say the EV market is thriving

The questions I have aside what was purchase price, what was it sold for and lastly, what was turnaround time, thanks.

I bought a non Tesla EV for the love of the planet. Why pollute with gas and Diesel when you can drive clean and cheap at the same time. Kudos for Ev's on ice guy to switch his driving habit. YOU READING THIS CAN DO THAT TOO. Like big oil needs more $$. We all need clean air, soil and water. Fossil fuels will NOT give you that.

Common Brandon, let get an update over here!
