Tesla Model 3 vs Tesla Model Y - Which Should You Get?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I know, I know, the new Highland models are out now. Well, we don't have them, but we did snag a Model Y from Hertz and grabbed Travis's base Model 3 to see why you might want to get one over the other.

Its super easy to charge and I dont even charge at home so it will only get easier once I get a house.

  • @feistyfinn9365
    @feistyfinn93657 ай бұрын

    I’m a avid AOA watcher and I see all the EV options. At the end I chose the model 3 rwd because I narrowed my needs down to small battery efficient cars. Unfortunately, I think the EV shopper’s obsession with range is detrimental to the environment and puts less cars on the road for the same resource. Public charging is the better solution rather than having big heavy batteries. I’ve driven 18k mi around the US this year since March when I bought my model 3. Honestly with how reliable the superchargers are, I never really wished for the extra range of the LR.

    Another difference between the Y and the 3 is the Y has a 40/20/40 split rear seat, the 3 has 60/40. That is the main reason I have a Y not a 3, although I do like the 3 more in some ways.

    Curb rash on Tesla's is something that is a bit hard to avoid, unless you are completely aware that the wheel covers don't fully cover the rim edges, AND Tesla's have "hips" (they are a little wider in the rear) along with slightly longer wheelbases. Combine those, and you've got to make sure not to park too close to curbs, and carefully take right turns slightly wider to avoid scraping right rear wheels. I've done both.

    Since there's no solid roof option it's not possible to say how much more noise comes in through the glass. That said, this is a quiet (not silent) ride and one of the biggest things first time EV drivers will experience is the fact that the noise you're hearing is going to be different. You'll hear more road and wind noise but that's because the engine isn't covering that up by being louder. -Travis

    I feel like if they made the model 3 with a lift-back one could get the best of both worlds given that I like cargo practicality, but don’t need the extra height of a crossover.

    Thanks for the video; very insightful. We just bought a Model Y Long Range AWD with tow hitch. As a first-time Tesla owner (coming from the Toyota/Prius world) we found the buying experience awful (I'd grade it as a "D-"). There was zero effort to cater to a first time buyer with the poisonous "Teslas Sell Themselves" attitude clearly underlying the piss poor service. I would never recommend someone consider a Tesla purchase unless you are prepared for a cold, impersonal, buying experience (or bring a friend who has been through the Tesla process to fill the void in the Tesla customer service). The two service centers we visited (mid-week) appeared woefully understaffed, which makes it nearly impossible to ask questions, little less get proactive buying/sales process advice.

    My family just bought a Model Y yesterday. We looked at Lexus and Jeep options for more size and clearance, but the dealer experience is just so bad. It brought back PTSD, lol, from our last dealership experiences. I will never buy from an automaker that doesn't allow online-only purchase. Tesla has the best purchase experience. Financing through Tesla at 6% for 72 was also the best offer with the fed's current anti worker stance. So with the tax credit, the Y was just too good of price to pass up, not to mention fuel saving and higher safety rating. We even both liked other vehicles more. In the end, the dealership model lost Lexus and Jeep customers.

    Travis, I've never leased - always purchased in the past, but my income won't qualify for the rebate as a purchase so wondering about lease terms and conditions. Concern is out of ignorance - will the leasor include some hard to evaluate price clawbacks - e.g. interest on their money higher than my equvialent if purchased. So looking for a tutorial on how leases are put together and wonder if they are negotiable? For Tesla lease - is Tesla the leasor or another financial entitiy? More than one leasor? Same questions for non Tesla EVs. I don't have an EV, but want to try one at some point. Looks like Tesla has one the charging station war, so concerned about other make EVs until they are fully compatible with a Tesla charge station. Also if my son could purchase to get teh tax credits and then immedaitely sell to me? I'm thinking the rules probably prohibit a quick turnover? Is there a limit to how often an EV credit can be taken? Thanks for any help understanding any of this - especially how a lease should be evaluated. - Bob D Tesla@@AAutoBuyersGuide

    I owned both a '20 Y Performance and a '21 3 Performance at the same time. We liked both cars, but got tired of waiting on the Cybertruck to launch so the choice was to sell the Y. It was nice, but the 3 is a lot more fun to drive, gets better range and doesn't eat through tires like the staggered setup on the Y Performance. If we didn't end up getting a truck to replace the Y, then it would have made more sense to sell the 3 for it's increased storage capacity, even though it wasn't as enjoyable to drive.

    Yes I realize they are cheaper than other public charging options, I was assuming a Tesla charger would cost anywhere from 20 to 40 cents in CO and NM. With an approximate range of 250-300 miles I would have to charge 2-3 times a week on the road assuming 4 miles per kWH with a Model 3. Given this info, the cost of the Tesla after trade in or private sale of my PHEV, fuel being no more than $3.39 a gallon (currently $2.43 to 2.89 on my route) with my PHEV getting around 50 mpg and the additional maintenance expense of my PHEV, buying a Model 3 now would be more expensive than keeping my PHEV. The next consideration was the cost of electricity, in California the average is 30 cents per kWH with the average across the the rest of the USA quickly approaching 19 cents. With the increased demands of electric charging and the cost to retire & reclaim existing power plants combined with the cost to build new clean generation, the average cost of electricity in the US is probably going to get closer to California's rates. This assumption was based on how California's costs have grown as they headed towards roughly 35% clean energy compared to the rest of the USA at around 13%. It is all just a guess given the variables but when my PHEV is ready for replacement I will run the numbers again.

Otherwise I cannot justify adding another vehicle to my fleet that includes my y2k Tacoma that still looks and runs well. I won't replace it if it ain't broke (otherwise I'll be broke).

    I think the Model Y looks like an upside down bathtub. But IT IS the car I would buy if I was buying an EV. The charging network is the reason and the Tesla ecosystem makes me comfortable that everything will work well together. I like other EV’s such as the EV6 better but it just doesn’t compare for true overall ownership experience I would think.

    A lot of talk about the tax credit but keep in mind it is income limited also. Many people who can afford these electric vehicles aren’t eligible because they have gross income in excess of the allowable limit, so it’s not an incentive - and buyers like us look at a wide array of other vehicles.
