Which is the better value over 10 years?
Model 3
Which would have any value after 10 years?
This.
BMW for sure. Tesla won’t even be around in 10 years.
hahahahaha. You better be leasing!
Tesla BMW has one of the worst depreciation rates.
I guess what I'm looking for is how much cost I would have incurred over the years
You didn’t even give model info for the Tesla or condition of bmw....
It's a new Tesla model 3 at the base level ($39k, pre incentives) and a BMW 2016 528i with 30k miles ($25k)
What’s the price of bmw
Tesla 100% - BMW has plastic parts/hoses that will cost thousands of dollars to replace for labor alone. Mind you, I’m no shill, GM ain’t great either, but at least the parts are ubiquitous in the US and won’t kill your pocket like German trash will.
Are GM cars made of gold hoses and titanium parts?
GM has problematic electronics. The bigger engines and transmissions are usually good. The hoses are better than BMW.
You idiots. No one mentions the battery! The battery is half the cost of the car. In 10 years the battery will be almost dead and the car will have 50 miles range. So unless there is a breakthrough in battery technology it’s a BMW for sure
Lol 2012 model S has about 5% degradation in range and running as good as new, there are some model S cars which have gone over 400k miles with extremely less cost of operation, BMW on the other hand loses most of its market value in couple of years, maintenance and premium gas are hell.
Battery management and cooling will keep current LiOn cells technology from degrading more than 20% or so after 1000+ cycles. Fight me
Real talk tho. Get a Toyota or Lexus.
I love the driving mechanics of the BMW and the Tesla is not bad either
BMWs are fun to drive, but I wouldn’t buy one. Lease it instead so you’re not on the hook for a hugely depreciating money sink. A good reason to hold out on EV vehicles are that there will be breakthroughs in autonomous driving, and EV technology that aren’t fully worked out yet. So you can have your cake and eat it too. Lease, and when it makes sense to get an EV, buy it. Or if you must buy, then probably best to not make it the Beemer.
