I just sold my 2018 Model 3 Performance after buying a new Model Y. It has 97,500 miles and has no significant issues since the warranty expired. Those that want to use anecdotal stories about their gas cars not having issues, well, here's my anecdotal story about one with very few problems. :) Another anecdote: A friend with a 2020 GMC Terrain with 90,000 miles that has been religiously maintained with service records needs a new engine at a quoted cost for a rebuilt engine of $10,000. Cars break. Sometimes at inopportune times.

@tomw6414 8 месяцев назад

Good to point - Tesla's aren't maintenance-free and while the cost seems high, it's probably the same as "regular maintenance" (transmission fluids, oil, etc.) for a regular car. The biggest concern won't be these "smaller" costs but rather future battery replacement costs - I was told it's around $16k which is worrisome. Other inevitable costs to also consider - cracks in the windshield is around $1000 and the roof around $2000. While the experience is great, this very much reminds me of "boutique" cars like a Mini - weeks to get service instead of a few days/same day. Hopefully this improves over time.

Good video. Thank you for sharing your experience. I have a 2023 Model Y LR (built in Austin late Jan 2023); It's my 3rd Tesla. It's my understanding that the AC/heatpump compressor is an integral part of the car's battery management system. ICE cars don't need an air conditioner to operate, only to keep the cabin comfortable. Without the AC/heatpump compressor, a Tesla (and most other modern EVs) would likely experience very slow charging rate at a DC fast-charger due to the battery getting too hot (the car would significantly throttle back charging rate to protect the battery). Any kind of driving that would heat up the battery and drive train (like high speed highway driving or long periods of re-gen such as going downhill on a mountain road) or hot weather would also result in the battery getting too hot since the battery management system would be unable to help cool the battery without the AC/heatpump compressor. I live in Texas and, for me, a functioning AC compressor is a must regardless if ICE or EV. In a modern EV, an AC compressor is essential to the operation of the battery/drivetrain.

@Dave0214 8 месяцев назад

I have owned a 2023 MYLR for about 7 months. We have put roughly 7,000 miles on it. I have been incredibly disappointed with it. I am also in the midwest and the range is abysmal in the cold weather. Yesterday with temps below 0 it used 150% more range than the estimate. I drove 57 actual miles, and it consumed 142 miles of range. That was in chill mode and limiting my HVAC use as much as possible. The excessive energy consumption has been consistent with temps at or below freezing, typically it is 50-60% more range; but 150%?! That's insane. The other problem is that I have a time of use energy plan and rates are determined by demand. With the cold weather energy prices are higher, so the excessive energy use is costing me far more to charge. Also, after taking delivery my car spent a week at the body shop to correct the factory paint issues. I will be hopefully trading it in within the next couple of days. I have been on the waitlist for the CyberTruck, but I will never own a Tesla again. I think now that more of these are in the hands of people that aren't fanboys or getting paid to hype these things, average people will start giving real opinions about them. The fact you had a major and expensive HVAC issue on a car that has 57k miles on it, had a massive towing bill, and you are still suggesting that others buy these things is ridiculous.I have had numerous vehicles that I have put over 100k miles on and all I have done is routine maintenance. I certainly have never replaced HVAC components at 60k miles. I'm sure that you're getting some sort of incentive by sharing your link, plus the ad revenue from your videos. The average owner isn't going to have those benefits to make up for costly repairs.

@BLR1GBattlemaster 8 месяцев назад

I've had two brand new Honda Civics and a brand new Toyota Rav4 Prime with heat pump. I've never had any significant issues costing several thousands of dollars to fix in the first 3 years of the car, much less over 15 and 20 years for the Civics. My Rav4 Prime is 3 years old now and 60k miles. Drives like a dream, and never had any issues. I was thinking about the model Y, but now, I'm not so sure.

That's where Tesla and all dealers make their money. The more they sell, the more they can repair. And with Tesla and other EVs it's proprietary service, so nobody else can do it. They tell you $2k, you complain, they cut it in half, and make you feel good about spending $1k on a headlight repair.

I'm willing to bet the condensors got clogged with debris and overheated. The air vent on the bumper allows road debris(leaves, dirt, rocks) to enter into the area where the radiators reside. It's accessible by removing the frunk, and you then have access to a black cover that sits on top of the radiators. Without removing the front bumper you are only able to remove a few bolts from the cover and pull it back, but it gives you enough room to see inside the radiator area and vacuum debris out with a shop vac. Our 2021 Model 3 that we just traded in was absolutely covered with debris inside at 60k miles, I was shocked. I think we got lucky. We installed a mesh grill off of amazon to prevent large debris from getting in our new Model Y.

I still believe that your car failure was premature at 55000 miles. Your concern is valid: do you need to repeat the same repair at 110000 miles? Hopefully the replacement equipment will last longer. I had to replace a valve at that pump in Chrysler Pacifica eHybrid PHEV at 70000 miles but was covered under original factory warranty.

Tesla should have a function that links your bank account on the computer display. This way they can immediately drain your bank account, while towing it away for repairs. I have a 2004 Toyota with V6 engine (110K miles). Zero problems.

There are times when Tesla is just like the legacy builders. I remember a friend of mine got a Jetta and when she drove it for a over ten minutes and then park it, the vehicle would not start again until it sat for awhile. Then it would start up like there was no issue, but the problem would happen again and again. When she got it the dealer for service, they knew exactly what the issue was. The dealer to her VW sells a wire kit that will replace the wire that goes from the starter past the exhaust manifold to the battery with a heat shield wrapped wire so that the exhaust manifold heat would not overheat the wire. Apparently, when a wire gets too hot, it does not conduct electricity. This cost her $500, mostly labor in that cost, and it was fixed. For me, I was wondering why if VW knew this was an issue and they had designed the car, built the car, why did they not fix it for free? They designed and built a vehicle with a clear flaw. I am going to guess they figured it out quickly, because there was no major recall, but her car was bought off the dealership, two year old used with around 50,000 miles, so she was stuck. This was before the whole certified used thing was common. Point is, i hate when builders know of a design issue that is costly to the consumer and just leave it for the consumer to deal with the cost.

The lane keeping system fights him while driving down the middle of the lane and the car won't let him switch the feature off. There is a bad smell like hot rubber in the cab. There are other issues too. He called the dealership on December 15 to get it in the shop. They told him they would call him the following Monday about bringing it in then. This past week they had still yet to call. He called them and they said the processor is bad in the car. I don't know how they know that without having seen the car yet. They said they will need it for a week and a half. He asked about a loaner car for that time and he was told he needs to put a $500 deposit on the loaner, which they will return when the loaner is brought back. I've never had a Kia and after my son's experience I never will.

During this experience I was very close to kicking this car to the curb but after the repair was finished as they declared it an emergency situation they took care of it within 3 days plus a loaner car was provided to me. Once I got the car back from repair and drove it home I was still contemplating weather I should get rid of it or not, after doing math other than this mishap this cat has been very enjoyable to drive and was very comfortable driving this 3000 mile round trip up until it broke however the amount of money saved and comparing it to a similar situation with a gas car the compressor repair is very similarly priced so I have decided to keep it for the long haul and see how much life I can get out of this car.

I don't understand the need to replace refrigerant lines due to a failed compressor. I've never seen or heard of that before; there are certainly other methods available to clean a contaminated system that would likely be cheaper. With ICE vehicles it's easy to shop prices for repair, while the lack of non-Tesla repair facilities fosters the risk of excessive pricing.

@ElySky95 3 месяца назад

4:20 So if you had been driving the car for some time before you discovered it could affect the batteries, if it did most likely you would have a battery temperature warning, so why not slowly charge the car and slowly drive there in the morning or night when temperature is colder ? or ask other towing agencies for a cheaper price

@cjg6364 8 месяцев назад

Most compressors whether driven by belt or electricity (EV and Hybrid types) fail due to loss of system refrigerant via a leak of some kind. On a lot of belt driven units, newer designs no longer have a clutch that cycles on an off. Instead, they are constantly on and the flow of refrigerant is modulated with the use of a computer controlled electric solenoid valve - this in addition to the standard mechanical flow control valve in all refrigeration systems known as the expansion valve. These types of systems are particularly vulnerable to compressor failure as the compressors are always running whether there is sufficient refrigerant in the system or not. And when the amount of refrigerant goes down, so does the amount of compressor oil that is mixed in with the refrigerant. Less refrigerant equals more wear/tear on your compressor until it fails - sending bits of compressor metal shavings throughout your A/C system which usually get lodged in the smallest choke point - the expansion valve. Normally, flushing the A/C lines addresses metal filing contamination. The expansion valve must be replaced though as it is critical in maintaining the correct amount of refrigerant flow - thus optimizing cooling or heat transfer and lubrication of the compressor. The condensor coils are also usually replaced as they fill up with metal shavings and cannot be readily and effectively "flushed". The important thing to consider is that the best A/C systems have adequate refrigerant pressure monitoring and shut down the system to protect it from damage should pressure ever get too low. Apparently, Tesla's system is NOT very effective at this.😒 Not very inspiring for a pricey 3 year old s#%^box with less than 60k miles...bummah....

@terrancecloverfield6791 3 месяца назад

Yeah....when it works, the VRF works great, especially for multi zone setups that Tesla HVAC has set up. It IS efficient per kW. But the single dependency on that compressor, if it fails, is that it affects both the cabin AC as well as the battery temperature control. Now, I find myself liking the passive solutions of using either electrical resistance or air cooled, if the design allows for it. That, or create redundancy. It is gas cars advantage here where heat is a good thing for gas engines, whereas batteries really perform best within 23-25C or room temperature. Frankly, I find myself thinking that hybrid cars are really the safest option for anyone that isn't chasing the fastest 0-60 times.
