CAN YOU REALLY AFFORD A TESLA? FULL COST BREAKDOWN MODEL 3 & Y

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive breakdown of the true cost of owning a Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, covering purchase, financing, leasing, insurance, and ongoing expenses. The reviewer highlights that while Tesla vehicles are becoming more accessible, they still represent a significant investment, especially without incentives. Key takeaways include the substantial impact of interest rates on financing, the potential savings with Tesla's insurance, and the lower running costs compared to gasoline cars, particularly for electricity. The reviewer contrasts their personal experience with a financed Model 3 and a leased Model Y, emphasizing that leasing can offer a lower monthly payment but may involve risks with high down payments. Ultimately, the video concludes that while Teslas offer good value, they remain expensive for many, with a hope for more affordable variants in the future. The reviewer recommends the Model 3 and Y over the S and X for their refinement and build quality.
