This video provides a comprehensive look at the long-term ownership costs of a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range after accumulating over 111,000 miles. The reviewer highlights the surprisingly low service costs, totaling $4,130 over five years, which includes two sets of tires. Notably, many initial issues were covered under warranty. The battery health remains impressive, showing only about 10% degradation, with an estimated range of 290 miles from its original 325 miles. Charging costs are estimated at $6,343 for home charging over five years, significantly less than the fuel costs for a comparable gasoline car like a BMW 5 Series. A minor issue with a low coolant level prevented a full battery health test via the secret menu, but the overall verdict is highly positive, emphasizing the cost savings and reliability of Tesla ownership compared to traditional vehicles.
