Bonjour baguettes trouser each err
niihama today's talk focuses on the
model three and it's my suggestion that
the model three may be one of the
crappiest cars to come out this year
but it's creating quite a stir and there
are three reasons for this the first
thing I want to review is why the car is
crappy number one is the fact that at
$35,000 usually that puts you in a
luxury vehicle maybe with a v8 engine
you know some nice space and a nice
sized trunk or a decent I definitely
appointed SUV the challenge with that is
the cost of the battery results in
you're basically getting a fifteen
thousand dollar car but paying thirty
five thousand dollars for it because
you're working with the cost of the
battery to the back end so the first
reason it's a crappy car is when you
have a short wheelbase vehicle you
basically have a car that is
uncomfortable because the distance
between the wheels affects the
smoothness of ride so in the case of the
model 3 it's got one it's got one of the
shortest real basis of any vehicle out
there hence a very uncomfortable ride in
a short vehicle
the second reason it's the crappiest
vehicle of the year of the year is
because you're basically paying thirty
five thousand dollars for a $15,000 car
and finally the third reason is Kathy
crappie is a concept I call one plus one
equals 0.5 and what I mean by this is
the fact that when you pick up your
model 3 you'll find out that in the
United States if you're in California
let's say particularly San Diego when
you charge your car at home the
difference between charging it at home
or having paid guests for it
we'll be marginally about the same
you're paying like ten bucks more you
know five to eight dollars more to fill
up your tank in electric than you would
if it was just a regular vehicle but
you're taking the penalty of not getting
any you don't get the luxury
appointments of a $35,000 car this is
particularly the case because if you
look at your electric bill what you'll
find is that if you've become a heavy
user of electric it bounces you us into
a special bracket of electricity where
your costs are at the highest peak rate
all day instead of just 7:00 a.m. to
7:00 p.m. now this also suggests that if
you use a supercharger you'll be getting
a wholesale power from Tesla so
therefore it will be about a 50% cost
cut in the difference between what you
would have paid in gas versus what
you're paying electricity so I'd
encourage those in California to
consider that option and check with your
power company to find out what your cost
of electricity is because it could be
much greater than you expected now why I
gave it the title I did is that it turns
out in countries like Norway because of
tax and parking considerations and even
the use of the carpool lanes each of
these cars is worth about $10,000 a year
now all these benefits may go is way as
the number of cars increase with the
model 3 driving that process but now you
have people getting $10,000 a year back
and let's say they're spending 500 a
month you know in theory they they could
sort of pay this car back fully in two
or three years so I say it's worth nine
times in Europe because if you're paying
one dollar a gallon and other Europeans
say nine dollars a gallon you now have a
situation where
it's a huge benefit to go electric and
and when you look at the gas price
difference combined with all the other
accoutrements there are a number of
countries in Europe that make it a
really good idea to go electric
so hence I think owning a model 3 in the
u.s. is kind of a point five maybe a 1x
because you do get to go to the carpool
lanes in certain states and only have to
have one person there because you're a
TV there is the tax credit so there are
benefits you get so maybe it's a 1
possibly a 2 but compared to what you
get in Europe or Asia or other countries
where the cost of fuel is high I think
that the model 3 is a really bad idea in
fact I think the model of an older model
X or Model S might be a better deal
because you still for the life of the
vehicle get free supercharger use and
that actually could be a great benefit
into the long term and there may be a
lot of s owners getting rid of their
cars as the model 3 comes out thank you
for your time have a good day and enjoy
just mugs woot oh well he please like

have a good day thank you the bike
