Thanks for the comprehensive video! Lots of great information!
this video convienced me to buy a tesla
How many miles on the car now? Update please.
Hi! Unfortunately the car got totaled in a rear end accident around 235k mi.
Electric car haters love to hear about battery degradation, but they always stay silent about engine wear and tear fuel economy degradation.
Why is the music getting louder and louder as you talk? Had to turn off the video lol
Supercharging is 3x more expensive in the UK but here your insurance would pay for the fender. Even so $3k supply and fit is 2 or 3x what I’d expect to pay.
Awesome
Hello thanks for sharing! Calculation is incomplete… you forgot the cost of internal combustion engine maintenance $$$$ up here in Quebec,Canada every 15000 kms / 9300 miles oil change, 80000 kms / 50000 miles Timing, belt or chain. Let’s stop there because people will not believe us. 200000 mils= 320000kms so: Oil change 75$ X 21= 1,575$ Timing chain 5000X 4= 20000$ Prices is for a 2012 VW Jetta TDI! So yes your calculations was missing a few small details but that ok I am missing a few myself! Have a good day Jean
Tesla has hidden energy buffer, so the % shown for what you use is not exactly what is left in the battery. So 8% degradation is probably more accurate number. Since it's non-linear, you should be good for at least 600k before you hit 20%.
great video
Still have the same car? We need an update lol
How much time have you spent waiting for your battery to charge so you can go another 200 miles 🙄
While I was traveling, close to none as my source of income comes from working on my computer so my car charges while I work. You know, kinda like your car sits in a parking lot doing nothing while you work. But mine is getting fuel so I don’t have to waste time getting it when I’m not working. Now that I’m not traveling it’s still none! It charges while I sleep!
The Model 3 is an awesome car! But $2,300 in broken parts is nothing to brag about. My Ford PHEV had two FSB items that were free and then nothing broke for 184k miles. My in-town and highway operating costs are the same as an EV. The only added cost is oil changes every 25k miles.
Great video and new subscriber!
I am from Brasil and just receive my BYD SEAL and love it.
0:35....how did you get that screenshot? is it a map of all the places in North America you have stopped for charging? Is there an app to generate that map? lol
So you fueling this car?? Wow this most giving you crazy results;)
Not all 3/4 are same size, I have a a 3/4 on the larger side. Could you give us some basic dimensions of your bass? Total length, the lower bout width and total width of the body and bridge? Would help others I’m sure. Thanks
Your true cost of ownership should take into account the residual value of the vehicle at 200,000 miles. So true cost of ownership would be somewhat less. Congratulations!
This car unfortunately got totaled in a rear end accident in mid 2022. Good news is though it was at the height of the used car bubble and I got $45k from insurance with the 240k miles on it. Bought a used 2019 M3 for $60k (with tax) so honestly that totaled car with savings taking in to consideration was essentially a wash!
$12000 for fuel over 200000 miles! thats insane! I do Around £3000 in the UK for fuel a year 20,000 miles. I usually buy a second hand car ( every 4/5 years)with around 30,000miles and that cost me £55,500 for 200,000 miles(ish) and as mentiontioned , buying a car every 4/5 years because the damn thing is falling apart after say 100,000 miles. SOLD ! From every review I see, Tessla model 3 is the way forward ( 21 model , need that heat pump, its pretty cold here in Scotland in the winter!)
Interesting channel name "Voyage without Carbon". Carbon is the fundamental element for life on this planet. Without carbon you're not going to be making any voyage with your two legs.
In terms of total ownership costs, Tesla doesn't seem to beat Prius or Camery. I believe my Prius is %60 cheaper cost maintaining the car.
I started listening and was interested in what you had to say, but stopped because of the background music. The only thing it adds is distraction and annoyance.
So over all your car has averaged.425 cents a mile on the high side. Not bad
The music in the background is what’s asinine
You may have reduced your carbon footprint but you are not a good person because you have contributed to Elon Musk’s wealth.

Who's going to buy a car that might need a new battery. I'm always going to fear the battery is going to be bad in any used electric car. I sure won't buy a used car that I know will soon need $20,000 worth of work. There's one more factor that stops me and it's the article that follows. It's a bit long but it should be considered. Posted on Saturday, August 12, 2023 by AMAC Newsline AMAC Exclusive - By Ben Solis As President Joe Biden and his Democrat allies rush to force every American into an electric vehicle, the resulting surge in demand for cobalt and other rare earth minerals used in battery making has brought suffering and tragedy to some of the poorest countries on earth. During international meetings in Rome last month, African leaders warned that the West’s strategy for combatting “climate change” by building an ever-larger fleet of EVs is both undercutting their supposed concern for the environment and destroying the lives of entire communities. Specifically, mining operations for minerals like nickel, lithium, cobalt, and copper are poisoning the air and water sources, while women and children as young as six years old toil long hours in unsafe conditions. The catastrophic effects of these mining operations can be observed most acutely in Western and Central Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic Of Congo (DRC) where families are fleeing insecurity and danger. The DRC supplied nearly 75 percent of the world’s cobalt in 2021, and it is estimated that up to 40,000 children under 15 work in the mines. While the DRC is among the poorest countries in the world in terms of average household income, it is one of the richest in terms of natural resources, including large reserves of oil, natural gas, gold, and diamonds. Three-quarters of the world’s silver, valued at $4.44 billion, is mined in the DRC each year. But many of those mining operations have now given way to copper, lead, and cobalt - the life force of the left’s “green revolution.” The International Energy Agency estimates explosive growth in worldwide demand for cobalt in the coming years, largely driven by government-subsidized growth in the EV market. A typical electric car battery needs around 30 pounds of cobalt - now referred to as “blue gold” in the mining industry. While mining companies in developed nations today have a long list of safety precautions they must comply with and minimum wage requirements, no such protections exist in the third-world countries where the vast majority of cobalt and rare earth minerals are extracted. A new book released earlier this year from Siddharth Kara, a senior fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health, entitled Cobalt Red, reveals just how horrid the conditions are that many of these miners are suffering through. According to Kara, at least 30 percent of cobalt miners in the DRC are “artisanal” - a polite term for laborers who perform extremely dangerous work for the equivalent of just a few dollars a day. Many own no tools and dig with their bare hands, often contracting severe illness in the wet and filthy conditions. As a heavy metal, cobalt is toxic to touch and breathe. Yet entire villages work in mines surrounded by a haze of cobalt dust. Mothers toil with young children strapped to their backs. Birth defects have skyrocketed. Mining for other metals like lead is similarly dangerous. According to Kara, the EPA advises a maximum safe limit of 40 micrograms of lead per square foot inside homes, but in Congo’s “copper belt,” homes average 170 micrograms. These elevated levels can have severe effects on the human nerve and digestive systems, as well as fertility. In children, lead poisoning can lead to irreversible developmental issues. Even people who are not involved in mining directly but live close to the mining areas have been found to have very high concentrations of heavy metals in their systems. The water sources are all likewise contaminated, and even wildlife such as fish and chickens show abnormally high levels of cobalt and lead. The miners, meanwhile, earn 11 cents per kilogram of cobalt ore. On a good day, a miner might be able to extract 40 kilograms. One local villager told Kara that although everyone dug, no one became rich: “We do not earn enough to meet our needs.” Many commentators have referred to these conditions as “medieval,” but that is not exactly accurate. While medieval life was undoubtedly difficult, societies in the Middle Ages also embraced serving the poor, the sick, and orphans, often through the institutions of the mutual aid and social care societies of the Catholic Church. But no such protections exist in the DRC, and Christians are persecuted there (the DRC regularly makes the Open Doors list of the most dangerous countries in the world for Christians). Many locals have explicitly called the situation in the DRC modern colonialism, and have compared their lives to those of slaves. Indeed, most of the mining operations in the DRC are controlled by foreign firms - primarily from China, which has made major claims in mineral extraction in Africa. But while the West has been eager to denounce Chinese human rights abuses in China, the liberal green agenda is now by default hopelessly reliant on Chinese mining operations in other parts of the world. In some cases, the links between Western leaders and exploitative mining operations are even more direct. As The New York Times reported in 2021, Hunter Biden once helped a Chinese company acquire ownership of one of the world’s richest cobalt mines in the DRC while his father was vice president. Amid new revelations that Joe Biden sat in on at least 20 business calls with his son while vice president, it’s worth asking whether or not the older Biden was involved in this deal as well. Western liberals have made a virtual cottage industry out of bemoaning the abuses seen during the era of colonization. But now, their climate change obsession is creating a new and in some ways far worse version of it. Ben Solis is the pen name of an international affairs journalist, historian, and researcher.
Which winter tires do you use?
Pirelli Sotozero
Thx. Good review. 200k impressive over 4 years. You took it to a lot of very beautiful places. I have 2018 June lrm3 and love love my car. Would be hard to consider another brand & car as my experience has been wonderful with the lrm3.
Do you still recommend model 3? Thanks.
Sounds like Al Gore math
Great video
LoL It isn't worth it at zero miles.
Where did you get those upper control arms for that expensive price. Mines were 400$ something both. But they were actually good, i have a problem with lower control arms. And i have 262000km on my tesla m3. It's in Canada. Because that's actually factory defect they cover the labourer cost. And trunk wire was replaced fir free
My cousin bought a used 2019 standard plus Tesla mode 3 in 2022 for $45000 and now in 2023 can't sell it for $25000. The Model 3 has the highest depreciation on any car as high as 30%.
Hopefully she has one by now
It would take me 10 years to reach 200,000 miles. Thanks for an informative video. You can keep the music sir.
With Tesla power stations being opened to other EVs, the wait to recharge will only get longer. Until the fossil fuel infrastructure is replaced, or matched, with hydrogen or thorium, I'll stick with hybrid vehicles.
Pirellis are butter, get Continetals or michellins
Thanks for the content! Just got my first Tesla a week ago. I adore it. I do agree with other comments, please just reduce the music in the background. I want to hear all you say a bit better. Thanks again!!
I think they are great cars however if you plan on driving them past 200,000 miles you will eventually have to replace the $13k-$22k (depending on which model) battery pack. Ouch!
Thankfully with the model 3 (and I think all cars now) they have a modular battery so you only have to switch the module that goes bad opposed to the whole thing like in the S’s you hear about with a $20k price. In 2019 Musk said it would cost $5-7k per module. Still a pretty big price tag and no one (afaik) has had to get one yet so it’s to be seen if that price is still valid.
Any new video updates in the model 3 mileage?
Average ain’t $0.25
Supercharging price? You’re right. In the past year it’s jumped heavily. Around me I get it for .28-.35 now but know in many places it’s up to .45 at on peak times. Still with the average home electricity cost of .17 (and that being the primary charge place for most users) .25 - .30 feels like a good average price cost.
30k miles? For tires that’s crazy
Can you drive 200k in cold weather miles and not have your charger fail to charge overnight, I couldn't make it 20k miles so I don't think so. Can you drive as far as he did and not have tire issues that require you to get a tow, or a supercharging part that goes bad and won't let you charge or think you have enough miles but the chargers are full and by the time you can get to your final charger your out of battery, 3 hours behind schedule, and in the middle of the night when no one can help? I don't mean to be harsh but this guy's tesla is super human or something because some people's or water logs here in Florida after our last flood, and I haven't heard that happening to an gasoline vehicle. If you want to pay the same price as gas you only have to spend an hour at the pump, instead of 3 minutes to fill up on gasoline, otherwise you will end up charging everywhere and driving everywhere to try to find free electricity. Did he calculate the charging cables and adapters? Tesla chargers a $200 diagnostic fee just so you know. That's just so they can figure out what's wrong. They also won't let you charge your car for free to get home after you paid to have it towed to them. You will see people online saying they have a $15k bill for a battery, a $2k bill for a pcs part, those are real
Maybe my Tesla was superhuman. Sometimes it seemed so since I never experienced any of the problems I hear people complain about. I can say I made it all around North Dakota in -20° weather when they had 0 superchargers and never ran out of battery. At one of the chargers though I could only get 3kw though because it couldn’t heat the battery enough in the cold. That was the biggest headache I had re:charging (had to get an extra day at the hotel and charge for over 24 hours). Just like in a gas car, the miles predicted are useless, we just don’t notice it in gas cars because they can fuel up in more places. Set it to % and forget it as that is a reliable prediction. Unless you’re speeding. The car has no way to tell if you’re going to be going 80 in a 65 which will end up using exponentially more energy. Re:chargers and cables Tesla included those for free (a 110 and a 14-50). Unfortunately they stopped including the 14-50. Sorry to hear about your service woes. I’ve found that quality drastically changes at each service center and unfortunately as Tesla has gotten bigger the quality has seen a drop at many of the bigger city locations with charges like the diagnostic fee being added. The $15k for a battery is for any car that was made with the old school packs which are the only ones (because of age) we have any data on failing. Since 2019 all packs have been modular and now only a part of the battery has to be replaced opposed to the whole pack which cuts that # by 4. In all those miles I only came upon one SC station that was fully down and it wasn’t at night but was on a Sunday when I could get no help from Tesla. Fortunately there was another (non Tesla) charger a mile away that I used but if there wasn’t I would have had to look for some random outlet to use and I’m sure I would have a bad taste in my mouth. Full chargers are starting to become more common on heavily traveled routes which is extremely frustrating if you’re in a time crunch. It can add hours onto a trip. And yes, the price of service (per hour) is ridiculous but as service was almost never needed I never got frustrated with it. Hopefully the third party market will grow and fix that issue.
It sounds like using chill mode would save you some money lol
One question..in that 200k..you never had to replace the battery?
Never. Car got totaled with 230k and still had 87% of original capacity.
@@VoyageWithoutCarbon aw man, I'm sorry :(
@@VoyageWithoutCarbon That sucks. I was hoping to hear a 250k mile review. What did you replace it with?
