TRADING TESLA MODEL 3 FOR THE MODEL Y! OWNING THE MODEL 3 FOR FREE?

EV Channels Review

This video documents the delivery of a new Tesla Model Y to the reviewer's mother, who is trading in her 2019 Model 3 Standard Plus. The reviewer's mother shares her positive experiences with EV ownership, highlighting the ease of charging, the absence of gas station visits, and how her initial range anxiety was overcome. She fondly recalls memories with the Model 3, including a track day and bringing home a puppy. The core of the video then delves into a detailed financial breakdown, explaining how the family effectively owned the Model 3 for nearly free over 1.5 years and 22,500 miles, due to a combination of a strong resale value, referral credits, and tax incentives, even before factoring in fuel savings. The new Model Y is detailed as a Long Range AWD variant with optional tow hitch, with speculation about potential battery pack upgrades.
