Hi Kurt and thanks for your comment. Im glad you had a great time hear, thanks for sharing this story and I hope you'll come back to Switzerland some day, hopefully soon!!
hi Miko, lovely informative video as always. I personally would take the advantage of the great transportation system in Switzerland but I know that some people may prefer cars, and this type of information can really help them so I thank you on behalf of them aha. could you maybe cover taxes in Switzerland? stuff like VAT, income tax, what is it like over there? thanks :)
Hello and thanks for your comment, always great to hear from the loyal subscribers 😊😊 Thanks for your suggestion, its definitely a great point and I'm adding it to my video pipeline right now! 👍🏻🙏🏻
Wish the base price would be the same as in the US, 35k. If that was the case, I would buy instantly. But in the 45k range, there are many more decent options :/
Hi and thanks for your comment. I agree, its a pity that the price is much higher then in the states, but I really had a lot of fun with this car, I also like the interior design and being electric gives great benefits on taxes in Switzerland
Excellent. Well thought. It's helpful. Never knew it was Elon Musk Tesla. I thought only Germans favoured. Speaking of Genéve being France...you're damp right! I was in a wrong neighbourhood in Southern France and I felt strongly something bad is coming. The next day 4th July, our brand new Peugeot lost its four wheels and rims. I got the suspect in the hoods and my strong guess was also the insiders where the lease and buy package executed. They were Pro's...5min job I think and not a single sound between 2-4 am maybe. It was well planned. The dealer exchange with Japanese made for few days. Learned lessons after. More careful in Genéve. Merci beaucoup. Bonne Journée 👏👍
Hello man ! I want to know how hard it is for a person to come to Switzerland from third world country in regards to getting an IT job or graduate studies ?
Hi and thanks for your comment! Have a look at this video, it should give you some info your looking for, and if you have more questions let me know or contact me on insta (@miko_ps) (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GvpXzwmy944.html) , as a non EU citizen, it's possible to live in CH while being a student (student visa) or by obtaining a permit (usually together with employer) based on special professional expertise not available in CH/EU (many people working for Google, UN or CERN live in CH on this basis). It's not easy, but can be done. For job search, I recommend: - www.jobup.ch/en/ (the most popular job search website in Switzerland - LinkedIn -Glassdoor I wish you best of luck, success and see you in Switzerland 😊
@@Miko_PS_in_Switzerland so it seems the best choice would be to get a tesla in switzerland as it's the cheapest to run right. ? correct me if I'm wrong..
just to say i m swiss and the system tries to make you buy electric cars ... but you only have two free years exempt of taxes and from the third year yoj will pay co2 taxes just as much as any car
Hello Jérémie and thanks for your comment! Im rather surprised to hear that. How come would I pay co2 on a tesla? shouldnt it be related to the exhaust fumes? Thanks for sharing, this is really interesting!
Ha, I knew it was be the Tesla. I see them everywhere. When you test drove the Tesla, did you ask about which garages have chargers for electric vehicles? You put $0 for fuel for the Tesla, but I'm guessing one will have to pay a surcharge in the garage to plug it in?
Hi Esteban and thanks for your comment! Yes that is in fact a good point! You have a couple of options for charging them. You could do it at home through a socket, many employers have Tesla charging in their underground garages, there are superchargers on highways and chargers in underground parkings. Electricity is one of the few things in Switzerland which are really cheap (my bimonthly bill is roughly 50CHF, even though I’ve chosen the most expensive option where I have a certificate that 100% of my electricity comes from renewables) so if you charge at home or at work, cost of charging can almost be neglected. Of course in underground parkings you’d have to pay for the parking (2.5CHF per hour probably). Thanks for bringing this important point to our attention and as always, thanks for watching!!! ☺️
Really good info in this video. I know you have your go-cart Mini (yeah!! Go Mini) but what’s your friends’ experience with Mobility? Is it a good alternative to buying a car if you live centrally in Geneva?
go mini :) I used to use mobility a lot, its a good alternative around the city. Its cheap by the hour, but expensive by the kilometre , so gets more expensive for longer trips
Hi Afg and thanks for your comment. Here is a video in immigration in general: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GvpXzwmy944.html Regarding citizenship, thats a loooong process. Being born here or marrying a swiss does not suffice. The important criterion is that you live here for at least ten years before you can apply for citizenship (of which three in the five years before applying for citizenship). Years spent in the country between the age of eight and 18 count double (although the actual length of residence must amount to at least six years).
Where did you find the 355CHF/mo number to least the Tesla ? I was browsing online and the prices I saw were sometimes twice as that, sometimes more :(
Hi! Can you please drop me an email at: hello.miko.ps@gmail.com , just saying hi and your youtube name? I wanted to share something with you as a long time loyal subscriber 😊 Thank you in advance!
Hi George and sorry for taking so long with the reply. In general, you can buy the car wherever you wish and it's true that Germany has one of, if not the best, car markets in Europe. There will be however a number of difficulties if you do that. First, when bringing a car, you will have to pay customs on its value. Second, if you are a resident of Switzerland, your car will have to have Swiss plates (there are high penalties if you do not re register the car) Third, to have plates, the car, it will have to go through Swiss technical tests which are VERY restrictive, older cars have difficulties passing at all. Without the approval, you cannot drive it here. All in all, if you are planning to buy, you might save yourself A LOT of headache by buying it in CH. The prices are not bad either
