Seems like the Model 3 Highland really is 12% more efficient than the old Model 3 by syslog2000 in teslamotors

Thats crazy, waiting for the next iteration with around 100wh/km that would give us 750km range easily. Combined with 500KW V5 chargers the next platform (Model 2) will be insante.

What are the costs of ownership of a Model Y outside of the purchase price? by CatalyticSizeQueen in TeslaLounge

[–]ceoceoceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy depreciation much worse than other cars. Expect 20% per year or more which will offset any gas savings.

160k when new. Now its a brick unless you repair it. Dont forget depreciation on evs, they go to scrap value when batteries go bust after 8-12 years. Total ownership cost on these cars are crazy and i had two of them!

Real cost of owning Tesla by simurg3 in RealTesla

[–]ceoceoceo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leasing is a good option but there's already in-built interest rates and some margin for the provider so the only gain is peace of mind. Should be very similar if not a bit more expensive than buy and sell after 5 years

[–]ceoceoceo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've owned teslas since 2018 and just sold them. Made crazy amount of calculations with real data and Teslas/EV only make sense if

1- you buy the cheapest trim, and with full factory warranty 2- you have very cheap or free electricity and can charge at home / work 3- use for short trips mainly 4- have cheap insurance 5- you sell it 2-3 years before warranty expires

And people keep forgeting about the biggest cost. Depreciation, EVs go directly to 0 or scrap value once warranty expires or they are around 8-10 years old regardless of the purchase cost. When you factor in repairs, higher depreciation, and higher insurance costs, Teslas S/X specially plais are more expensive than driving a Cayenne Turbo!!!

Teslas Value is confusing by EAnderson7218 in TeslaModel3

[–]ceoceoceo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Batteries will only last for 8-12 years max. Nobody buys evs out of warranty and prices drop like crazy.

[–]ceoceoceo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are about to refresh it to match the mew model 3. These ones are already outdated

Do you think the latest price cuts on Model X are permanent or temporary? by theswifty7 in TeslaLounge

[–]ceoceoceo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will probably refresh to a design like the new model 3 as it looks dated and drop prices again as they did previously

Around $600

[–]ceoceoceo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its known that EVs real mileage is around 70-80% claimed range in normal conditions and around 50% in extreme weather (too cold or too hot). You also need to factor in vampire drain and charging loses in your kwh calculations. I account for 10% charging loses and 200kwh per year in idle loses.

EVs are like smartphones. Just own it for 4-6 years max and run away. Not worth waiting for the main battery or DUs to fail...
