TESLA MODEL 3 FOR $4,000! HOW ALAN BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST YET!

EV Channels Review

This episode delves into the remarkable acquisition of a 2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor for under $4,000, boasting 217,000 miles. The reviewer highlights the car's surprisingly robust driving dynamics, noting its tight steering and smooth ride, which rival that of a new vehicle despite some added noises. A significant point is the battery replacement at 127,000 miles, which, while out of warranty, was manageable for the previous owner. The discussion also touches upon the cost-effectiveness of EV ownership compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, citing substantial savings in fuel and maintenance. While the high voltage battery replacement cost is a concern ($10k-$15k), the availability of aftermarket options ($3k-$6k) and potential for module-level repairs offer future solutions. The reviewer concludes that high-mileage EVs are becoming increasingly viable and affordable, with this Model 3 serving as a prime example of a potentially great deal for savvy buyers.
