costs

One of the main reasons for recently purchasing the LR AWD Model 3 was to save on gas, especially compared to our gas guzzling SUV. My wife and I don't have a terribly long commute and will probably only drive it about 8,000 - 10,000 miles per year. I live in the East Bay, where it gets pretty...

Hi all! I've been lurking for a while on the sidelines while viewing articles from the blog and posts from the forums. I'm doing my homework on a Model 3 purchase, but would like to ask for some perspective to help guide a purchase. For reference, I have done a lot of reading in the forums...

As the title says, why did or didn’t you get EAP?

Musk announced his intention several years ago to anti-sell the Model 3. The Web Based Trip planner is a case in point. I noticed when planning trips to the beach that the LR Model 3 was only marginally cheaper than a gasoline car while S and X cars saved a bundle. I suspected a bias in the...

I recently did some analysis on the cost of maintenance for a Tesla Model S and comparable ICE cars. No surprise to the crew here but thought I would share in case you like looking at charts about Teslas like I do :) More details + Charts here -> Tesla Model S vs Competitors: Cost of...

After using up the yearly allowance of 400kWh on the supercharger network, I'm wondering which of the following routes Tesla will take: 1. Charge for the cost of electricity and not take a profit, thereby using extremely cheap "fill-ups" as yet another good marketing device to sell the car...

Howdy! I realize the answers will/may be biased, but wanted to try to get your honest thoughts/ suggestions. I'm in the market for a car, and have looked at the Tesla Model S, and several others (including the Mercedes E300, BMW, Audi...). I also test drove the Tesla Model X a few days ago and...

What is the total running costs (not including costs on the website designer as part of the upfront costs) of owning a Model S in Australia? I can think of: electricity - depends on usage - not particularly interested in this here. registration - assume this is the same for any car - my last...

Hi folks, I'm nearing my extended warranty (ESA) decision for the 50K limit (I'm at 48K). Im looking for some actual costs on out-of-warranty repairs for things that would have been covered by an extended warranty. So not things like normal wear and tear, things from accidents/damage etc, but...
