The New Tesla Model 3 is a Bargain - Here is Why

I didnt even know BMW had turn signals 😅

Got mine at zero interest recently. At 1K miles the rear motor knocks in forward and reverse. Not a good start for me. Tesla Service appt. next week for them to attempt to fix it as they've already said its not normal. Hopefully other owners don't start seeing this too. I actually came from a BMW M2 Competition. I honestly miss it. The Tesla is just... boring with no soul. Also resale on the Tesla SUUUUUUUUCKS bad. Values of them sink like rocks in a lake. Oh well, live and learn.

My 11 year old Outback, which has never needed any repair, of any kind and run like new--compare THAT to 47 thousand. I think I'll keep my car.

Starting at 47k is not cheap. It must be nice having that type of money. Average customer cant afford a 30k car.

This video didnt age well

The resale value on the M3 is 10X better than a Tesla.

The MSRP for the Model 3 performance trim is now more then $55k thus doesn't qualify for the tax credit unless you get the color Stealth Grey. All other color options add anywhere fr0m $1,000 to $2.000 to MSRP. If you want the exterior color to be black your total cost including taxes will be around $61,900 since you wont get a tax credit. But if you select the $8,000 Full Driving option you get the color you want included and you get the tax credit which puts your total with tax to around $60,500. So its cheaper overall if you add the $8,000 Full driving option then if you don't.

The Model 3 looks sharp. Currently researching Tesla options for my needs.

Didn’t quite understand the comments about the comparable BMW…are you allowed to park BMWs in handicap spots?!? I thought only Lambos got that privilege?

Germans are “oil burning” vehicles they all use 1 quart of oil for every 1000 miles driven .
True fact that IS a factory spec. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like the wheels. What wheels and tires setup are this?

Do teslas come with any other interior color thats not white? Seems like something thatll get dirty super fast.

IT SHOULD BE CHEAP AS CHIPS....IT'S AN 8 YEAR OLD MODEL

The government rewards people for not making money. The more you earn the more you get penalized and the more you pay.

I can’t imagine owning any other car now. Electric teslas are so far ahead of any gas car.

Best comparison car video in 2025🎉

Insurance costs is a big issue with EV.

Wanted to lease one but these liberals in my city are getting out of hand vandalizing teslas its insane. Id probably hold out until things cool down.

To me the Tesla model 3 is more like an Audi A3 and BMW 2

With the hassles of charging Electric vehicles it makes it a rip off. I own a Tesla. Model Y And it is a nightmare Every time I drive I have to worry about running out of electric. It absolutely makes no sense. This guy talks about how a model three is worth 50 grand with all the issues that you're going to be having.

You’re talking pre tax purchase numbers. I just purchased a Model STD with a total cost of 42,xxxx. That was with the 7500 credit, 1000 mil discount, 2500 referral.

The incentive is BS. Make over 150K, and you get zero...

These start at $65,000 in Canada. That's $810/month for 6 years. 6 YEARS of your life you have to pay $810/month!

How is this a bargain by any measure!?

Fuel savings isn't enough to justify because it's due to amount of miles driven. So is repair and maintenance.

I'm a tesla shareholder. I'm a tesla fan boy. I'm a spacex(go flight 8!) neuralink, boring company nerd.

But there's no way a $65,000 car PLUS taxes and fees is a bargain. Nowhere on this planet is that a bargain.

EVs are FAR more energy efficient than ICE garbage.

The exhaust? Fossil fuels are cooking the planet. ICE is garbage, the exhaust contains pollutants that harm health too.

Clearly you have to mention that federal tax credit is applicable to purchases in the US and may not apply for other countries?

i have order the Tesla Model 3 in January 2025 , LR in Colour Ultra Red

TIM APPLE UPDATES THE IPAD

Then it turns into ASMR about a nice little breeze 🤣

So many channels are EV only or ICE only. Thanks for comparing them!

Bargain huh? Then when you put gold rims on it and other upgrades, that "bargain" goes away. What was wrong with the stock rims that you just had to swap them out?

There is not much competition for Tesla in the US. Elsewhere, Tesla still holds its own very well - even in China where there are dozens of new competing models every year.

Uhhhh except you’re buying a car from Elon Musk……

Unfortunately there is still Elon Musk, the asshole.

The reason this car is a bargain is because United States is too scared to let in superior and cheaper chinese EVs.

A bargain if democracy and humanistic values irrelevant to you

Maybe Tesla buyers should cancel their orders. Its really not a good buy at any price. Also, why buy from a Nazi who is destroying this country??

According to CarEdge, Tesla's depreciation rate was 26.63% in 2023, 38.89% in 2022, 44.43% in 2021, and 49.56% in 2020.
Also, this little tid bit, Tesla does not pay any tax. Wouldn't it be better to support a company that pays tax to the US? His companies get billions from the Federal Government.
Tesla's federal income tax rate has been 0% in 2022 and 2024, and 1.5% in 2023. This gives Tesla an average tax rate of 0.4% over the past three years.

In 2022, Tesla reported a $5.5 billion income and paid no federal income tax.
In 2023, Tesla reported a $3.1 billion income and paid $48 million in taxes, which is a 1.5% tax rate.
In 2024, Tesla reported a $2.3 billion income and paid no federal income tax.
Tesla's average tax rate is 50 times lower than the statutory corporate tax rate of 21%.

"The BMW comes with features like being able to park in handicap spots and not use turn signals.... " 😂

Psst! If you make more than 150k a year, you can still take advantage of the $7500 incentive. All you have to do is buy a lightly used 2024 model. Used cars are priced as though all the discounts were already applied so people can't just buy them at a discount and immediately flip them for profit.

Maybe a bargain but my Y is fine! No V2G STUPID!+ Elon's betrayed us. Disgusting. Luv Tesla BUT most of the GOOD people are GONE

You’d be Crazy to buy a Musk Tesla.

Why are we comparing nonEV ICEV with a BHEV?. What about the Ioniq etc? Just to keep the comparison fair🤔. Seems like you miss driving(fun) a performance ICEV😊. Best usecase of BEV being using the vehicle to max mileage. If you are in for resale value or to keep driving with low mileage for a long time, ICEV might be a good option.❤👍

*federal incentive in the US, *7500 US dollars

It's not a bargain in Canada. Federal incentives of $5,000 were removed, Tesla increased the price $10,000 and it's out of price range for provincial incentives of $4,000. The car is now $19,000 more expensive than it was 5 months ago.... Although i bought mine right before all the incentives were removed and the price increased. So i actually paid $41,000 for a $60,000 car.

Its not about the car anymore, all the prestige in owning this car has gone and the brand us toxic in the eyes of most people. Who wants to be seen driving one of Musks cars now.

In Colorado there is a dealer that actually sells Teslas with nice graffiti. Unique models. Only temporary. Look it up!

It's, selling 50% off brand new in east asia compair with us.

100% on point. I love my '22 M3P. People who gripe about Tesla's not having any soul are missing the point. It is the BEST daily driver on the planet. The effortless acceleration makes these cars an absolute blast. I wish mine was the newer model but I plan on getting the S Plaid in a year or so, because I want something a little bigger and I still prefer a sedan and I don't think I could "settle" for the LR when the Plaid exists. But even the last gen 3P is still very quick and handles so well, has an excellent sound system (new one is even better) and it's so easy to live with. I'm not sure I'd want one as my only car (I have other cars) but it is the car I always look forward to driving, when I can get to it before my wife does.

Best bang for the buck!
