California is now in the bottom 10% of all states in road quality. Then CA charges $1100/year in Registration fees for Model X plus 7.25% sales tax. So, for a $60K Tesla, you’re paying $5450 to the state just to put it on the road. That’s outrageous. Insane.

Wow, my Kia Stinger is only around $350. I will avoid getting expensive luxury cars.

Thanks, Jan for that quick rundown of expected and optional costs. I have a Model Y LR and I added the floor mats and trunk mat too. I also had the PPF applied and it has helped avoid rock chips but the front bumper gets lots of bugs which don't come off easily. Some detailers recommend ceramic coating rather than PPF as it cleans up more easily. I also needed the front plate mount as the one supplied by Tesla uses stick-on tape which failed over the winter. Other than those accessories, I've gotten along just fine without any other additions. My car came with the charge cable and included the 120V adapter. Tires do cost a lot and I swapped out the OEM tires for all-season tires as I drive in snow conditions often. The video is a good reality check on actual cost additions, thanks again.

On those machines there was no battery to charge, so the electrical energy generated was dumped into heating coils to be dissipated. So it's misleading to say that the battery in an EV is used to slow down the car. The battery is simply the opportune beneficiary of the mechanical drag that the motor/generators are applying to the wheels.

That is a good point about the Registration but as you note - the car costs more. One thing that is becomging more prevelent is - Extra EV charges for road tax - since many EVs charge at home; the state gets no taxes from that to maintain the roads and pay for the state patrol so in my state Washington there is a $750 Extra road tax for EVs. To be fare those the State drops sales tax on EVs so you save up front but they make you pay it back in 3-4 years with this extra tax; and in 4 or 5 years you'll be paying more over all taxes.

Not to mention that many states give a tax credit for purchasing an EV, some even for a used EV.

This is an eye-opening video. My car is a 2017 golf GTI. I now pay more for insurance than when the car was brand new. All thanks to the rising repair costs associated with EVS. I'm not hating on Tesla. I'm referring to all EVs (and 90K pickup trucks). They are costly to repair and that affects everybody's insurance prices. I've driven three model Ys and I love the car. But repair bills and insurance costs scare me away from ownership.

Nice video. One thing that was understated in the video is fuel cost. I'm on the east coast and I have a wall charger at home. The cost of electricity to move my Y is about 1/4 of the cost to move a 30 mpg car using regular gas over the same distance. Yes, your electric bill will increase, but it costs much less that the gasoline you would have purchased. That absolutely adds up.

I have also owned my model Y for a bit over three years. I just had an unexpected expense. The AC compressor failed and sent metal fragments into the cooling system. This repair cost me about $2500. I live in Southern AZ, so the AC gets a workout, but the car only has about 68k miles on it.

This video helped me decide to buy the Volvo EX30! I have a leased C40 Recharge now and haven't paid most of these upcharges you are paying for things like connectivity, that is free, a level 2 charger is free and it also acts as its own wall box because the car itself is programmable for time and charge rate and amperage, and the cord has a level 2 and level 1 adaptor. So you just plug it into any regular outlet or dryer outlet. For the panoramic roof, there is a $400 screen you can buy for shade. And now also a Tesla tap adaptor to use at Tesla chargers, although in 2025 they will be producing Volvos with NAC (Tesla) charging built in. But what I most like is that the satellite and internet connectivity is free. The over the air updates are free and the car runs on the Google platform, and Google Play is free, and you can download many things off your own Google Play account and run them free in the car, incl You Tube, Spotify, Alexa, Prime Music, Apply Car Play, Waze Etc. The C40 only has 225 miles of range at 90% battery though, and that is not good enough for roadtrips, which is why I am looking for a different EV. The EX30 is 275miles at 90% and that is real, usable range. Anyway thanks for this video, for the price I can't really beat the EX30 at around $42000-$47000 without the yearly add on expenses you mention here.But not eligible for the $7500 rebate. By the way South Carolina charges $500 for the EV road tax at purchase to make up for not paying gas tax.

Hint. Move out of California- that has got to be the worst place, government wise, in the United States (maybe with the exception of New York). Our insurance here in KY is 140 a month for a M3 standard range and a M3Performance. One-time taxes were steep compared to North Carolina (which is where we moved from) at 6%. Tire cost is relative- the cost will be derived from the tire size. The lower profile and bigger rim size, the more expensive. And, going from 20” to 21” will incur a sustantial price hike. The most expensive tire I ever purchased was for my BMW X5 45e.. 530 dollars for ONE Bridgestone Alenza. I replaced the front tires for my Model X and the total cost for high-grade Continentals was 490 dollars.

Thanks very much for this clip. My 2007 Cadillac has over 200,000 miles on it now. I love the car but I had to rebuild the transmission at a cost of $3100. The recent fuel pump replacement was $1100. I had to replace all the coil packs about 25,000 miles ago. I can't remember exactly what that was. Of course an EV doesn't have fuel pump, doesn't have a transmission, doesn't have coils, etc. So there's a lot to consider. Also, I have 24 solar panels on my roof and three house batteries. It's a Tesla Solar system and it's excellent. I don't wanna bore you with too many details, but I think I could be driving for free within the range of whatever EV I had for at least nine months out of the year.

If you went out and bought an Audi Q5 or BMW X5, you’d spend more on the purchase, more on maintenance like oil changes and scheduled dealer maintenance, more on tires, more on car registration, more on gas and about the same as Model Y on insurance. You’d also spend more on PPF because legacy car makers have more parts and more individual body pieces that need to be covered.

One of the selling points of EVs is the lower maintenance costs. You go on to say it will be higher because it a luxury car.

Thank you for the review. I've owned my Lexus RX for six years, but the cost of gas has doubled since I purchased it. I'm considering a Model Y as my daily driver.

I had a reapair covered on warranty. Paid $6 for windshield washing fluid. I use Tesla insurance and cost is monthly about $95/mo ave. The scoring is not very situationally smart so the score is usually lower than it should be but the bill is much lower than other insurers costs so I put up with the scoring frustrations.

I like the comment about timing belt however most vehicles come with a timing chain these days which is supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. That said this is a very informative video.

I just got a Model Y last February and it came with a front license plate holder in the trunk. I ordered a replica license plate that sticks on the front bumper cover flat. It's more aerodynamic, easy to clean and imposable to steal.

debating between leasing a tesla or a prius. very useful information

Is it worth all the extra cost?

In North Carolina, my registration fee was $ 340. Insurance is $80 per month. Cost to have an electrician install the home charger was $ 1095 all of was refunded by Duke Energy. I haven't put on any film and wash my car at home. Charging costs are 14 cents per kilowatt. The car is fully paid for. No front license plate holder for North Carolina although one came with the car. I bought the Tasmanian floor mats which are great. A few other accessories totalling $ 100 plus a shade for the glass roof. . I've had the car for 5 months and love it. I have a truck that I haven't put gassed up in months since buying the Tesla.

I crossed shopped a Model Y and a Nissan Ariya for car insurance in CA. My Ariya cost me $98/month with anticipated driving of 13,500 miles annually. This includes gap insurance for the first 2 yrs. California just had a premium increase in Feb 2023. I was told my premium will be going up in Jan 2024. Insuring the Model Y was 30% MORE than my Nissan Ariya. It pays to do your due diligence. Bye bye Tesla!

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.

@@cliffordnelson8454 is the upgraded version of the Prius worth it?

It is true that the tires for my model S were more expensive since they are designed for a heavier car but at 58K miles I was pleasantly surprised (I could of pushed it to 60K but wanted to be safe). I had heard of some owners getting much less further before needing new tires. So possibly the difference could be from frequent heavy acceleration? It seems to effortless with an EV.

Extra 10 or 15 BHP ?

Yup, only cost is two back tires, my fault because i am a speed demon. I have saved over 7500 in OC gas costs in 2.5 years, the Y is the best car I have ever owned, completely happy!

I live in CA too. I paid $298 registration fee. My yearly insurance from Tesla is $1812.

good video about extras, as a New Model owner myself you should of done a comparison between a similar priced gas vehicle to the model Y, for everything you listed, , like PPF film gas to PPF on Y, same for tint, price of electrify for 20000miles to price of gas for similar gas vehicle for 20000 miles, and any EV you buy you would need a Charger ... so a Gas to Model Y side by side comparison too that way you can see not just the cost of Y, but how muck more or less it would be when compared to same price gas vehicle . .. but good to know that tires wear out faster ( time to start saving for them )

Progressive has good Tesla insurance rates, especially if you carry a high (say, $1000) deductible. The difference for my Model S P90DL was pretty huge.

Thank you for your updated experience info about Y. I never own BEVs, but I plan to get a Model Y before the end of 2023🤔. Model Y has pros and cons, but it looks adorable, convenient, practical for everyday driving, and cute. I look at the advantages point of view of BEV. In California, we get a HOV Car Pool Lane drive sticker👍, Rebate (not significant $ anymore), and no smog test requirement😄. But OMG, insurance is costly! I am old and don't drive that much☕. Front License plate holder doesn't come with it? What the heck? I am thinking about a white interior. Does it show dirtiness and get dirty fast🥺?
