- Alright, back to the Tesla stuff,
the next story is interesting this was Clay McDonald
asked Elan, for those of us waiting for the standard
battery will we have all wheel drive as an option?
To where, the Tesla main account actually responded yes.
So there you have it.
(laughs) Awesome.
One question, does Elan actually man the Tesla account?
Is that what I learned from this?
I'm not quite sure, but okay.
So I did update the calculator here,
and I wanted to give you a way to do that.
So if you're unfamiliar I have a calculator
on Teslanomics.co, you just go to the calculator
section and then go to Model 3 cost calculator.
I know that this isn't fully updated.
You guys have been emailing me
and I've been trying to do it.
They keep changing the options in how their configuration
works, so it's been really hard to keep up and also
obviously I have all the other videos
and everything else I'm doing.
So, here if you wanted to you could go
and you could see what the price would be
and kind of how it would work out.
So you have the standard you would choose for the car,
then you would choose all wheel drive,
you can choose the other options or whatever you want.
Now it's kind of, it's not foolproof right now.
So for example, you could choose the performance package
and not the performance model etc.
So just be congnizant of what you do,
you can definitely get erroneous results here.
But then you scroll down, I did add, there's solid black,
I did add obsidian black, and I updated the prices here
to match the new pricing of the paint.
If you guys aren't familiar, they've increased that.
I feel like that's an incentive to buy sooner.
So then, here you can see, it also uses
it should localize your tax rate and your currency.
It may not be perfect but you can just
adjust those numbers if it's not right.
So with this priced out, using the solid black,
I'm looking at 40 thousand dollars kind of base price.
Taxes 33 hundred, fees a thousand, so 44 three hundred.
I just punched in some basic loan figures for you.
Five years, 3.25 percent with a
25 hundred dollar down payment.
Then you go through and you enter your driving habits,
what your commute is like each way.
And, I'm sorry, total.
And then your price per kilowatt hour,
this is also defaulted for folks in the U.S. I believe.
I don't know if I have it for the other,
I forget if I had it for other countries or not,
but you can just punch it in there.
And then you choose how you drive
cause this does affect your efficiency.
And then you multiply those things
to figure out essentially, what it's like.
Then you have your insurance,
and then of course in the incentives.
Now the incentives you'll notice don't actually
subtract the cost in terms of the monthly payment
because you'll still have to finance it,
but the final price will be reduced.
So just how that works right, cause
at least, I haven't seen any incentives for Tesla's
that reduce the purchase price, because otherwise
you still have to finance it and
then you still have to pay for it.
So then you click see results.
You can sign up for the email list
if you want to, if not, you're fine.
But then, there you have it, essentially what it would cost.
This is the base model, solid black,
no added upgrades, or anything like that.
35 thousand dollar plus all wheel drive,
the five thousand dollars.
And there you go, using these
parameters it'd be 935 a month.
You can extend that loan amount
and you kind of recalculate that if you want,
you know and this tells you your monthly cost estimate,
your charging cost, your insurance, your total monthly cost.
The actual loan payment would be 755 but then charging
and insurance added up to 935 so
that's kind of the breakdown there.
I updated that, I still do need to fix and add in some
other options, like I don't have white interior on here.
But that will be coming, I've got some other stuff
going on and so, I'll get to it soon.
I will, but it's just a matter of finding the time so.
Cool, let me know what you guys think about that.
I hope it's helpful I hope you
let me know if you actually are going to do that.
By the way, I do have data now.
Of 71 thousand people, in fact let me just show this here.
I think I can just bring it over to this screen
and show it.
Yeah, let's do that, okay cool let's try this.
So, I was crunching the data just before,
and I was hoping to present it but whatever here you go.
So, on that calculator I log whatever you selected.
I don't log any personally identifiable information or
anything like that, but it does log what your choices were,
and so to date this is after 71 thousand people
have actually used that, we're at 66 percent said
long range and 33.78 percent said standard,
for the battery size.
So there you go, and I'll kind of continue to do this,
I'll probably do a full video on it,
but I just wanted to share what I did find there.
And then for color, 38.33 percent say black,
which I need to update these labels, but that's the
solid black not the new obsidian black.
Then white, and then midnight, blah blah blah
all the way down to silver being the least popular one.
Which I actually kind of like.
Kim's Model 3 that she has with the satin wrap
and all that looks pretty stellar.
So anyways, I'll present more on this data here,
but I mean we got 71 thousand results to analyze
of people configuring their Model 3 with the calculators.
So cool data to churn through,
yeah, so stay tuned for more on that coming up.
