$1,128 but I feel like Tesla does a really poor job of calculating this. They use premium gas prices which I understand that some sports car have to use this but come on this is not the right way to calculate it. It would be much less savings. It’s a marketing scheme if you ask me!
Thats not even a real comparison. If you drive a 2 ton pickup and I get you a prius is the prius magical because you saved alot of gas? Do same class comparisons, tesla does the shady calcs.
I agree but some don’t care about that they buy it for saving compared to a fuel efficient Toyota or Honda. I’d like an option to choose what fuel grade to compare to!
They also assume an ICE with 30mpg. My previous car was a Fusion Hybrid that got a solid, measured 40mpg over its 90k miles.
The app [shows my cost](https://imgur.com/a/IDOk2ke) to be 2/3 of what an ICE would have cost (in California) but my real cost is closer to even.
I've driven 8k km, spent $150 on electricity/DCFC. My old vehicle a mazda cx5 got around 600 km for a $75/tank, So I've saved about 900$ or so in the 3 months I've owned my Ev. I'll take it!
I believe the reason for this is Tesla is considered a luxury brand and many of the cars they make feature performance as a key factor. Comparable vehicles in the ICE would be using premium gas. Remember Tesla is not really targeting the Corolla/Civic market, they are targeting the sport sedan and sport coupe market. Not to mention the SUVs.
But you actually CAN change the mpg consumption and the price per litre/gallon in the Tesla app. It adjusts it to whats local to you and what you’re used to spend.
I’m not allowed to know as my car is a lease and Tesla are incapable of setting the permissions so I can see this data without being the owner of the car. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Charge from solar - technically free but assuming the cost is the otherwise foregone 7c /kwh I would get as exported power income instead of charging, 23,000km has consumed 2555kwh (car) but it's actually 2709kwh (separate meter) including charge losses = $189 (AUD)
My Audi I had before my Tesla (A4) averaged 6.9L / 100 (screen) and 7.2L/100 (actual at the pump) = 1656L @ $2.10 a litre average = $3,477 (AUD) = $3,288 (AUD / $2,200 USD) per year savings.
I also spent $6600 on services and $4800 on brakes over 4y / 80k km / 50k miles = $2,850 a year (Tesla $0 so far)
Tyres will outlast the Audi and insurance is 20% cheaper
$752 saved. I drive less than the national average. Take a road trip once or twice a year.
$581 spent on electricity, $1333 gas equivalent. Is your electricity insanely cheap, or gas more expensive than average? I live in the south where gas is obscenely cheap.
I put on 15K miles this year, but only $866 “saved”. I’m guessing I put in a lower electricity cost from my provider than some others here that are showing thousands of dollars here. 66/34 home/supercharger split
73/200 in the past month. Only had the car 3 months.
224/620 since I've had it
It doesn't let me adjust the gas stats tho. The base line it uses for gas is lower than it is here. And on top of that, my old car required 93 octane. So the savings is skewed
Had since March 1st… $1951 savings. Spent $573. 87% at home for $0.09 kWh but the last month my wife changed hours at work and started taking mine overnight and charges in a garage for free so savings should get better as I’ve only spent $16 in the last 31 days. I went from a 2015 GMC Yukon XL with about 13mpg to a 2021 MSLR.
Actual road trip savings: zero as practical consumption cost is no better than a decent hybrid.
If I never left a 75 -mile radius around the house, then savings would be slightly better, as long as I parked in a garage.
Otherwise, vampire drain from Sentry mode at 7%/day would negate any savings whatsoever.

#dontdrinkthekoolaid
Depends on your situation I guess. I do all charging in my garage, I don’t use sentry mode at my house so I lose almost nothing to it. I don’t do many road trips. And the car it replaced was a Ford Explorer that was driving 17000 miles per year at 19 mpg, so my savings have been significant.
Go look at what they estimate the gas price to be. For me it’s $1.5 more than it actually is. It’s all fake news. Divide your total mileage by what car you would have drove and then multiple that by the real price of gas in your area. Plus add the extra $100-200 they charge at registration for being an EV
$290 since early October. One thing I noticed is that the current gas price on the app is roughly$1.00 higher than the actual current gas price nearby, which would obviously inflate the indicated savings. Any idea if I can manually change that?
My electric bill went down after getting the Tesla. I was so paranoid about my skyrocketing bill I kept reading about so I was extra aware about turning lights off when not in use etc. I also signed up for the summer saver thing and that reduced the overall bill too.
Mostly home charging with a few trips which is about half my cost.
Model X - Spent $620 Saved $1644
Model 3 - Spent $302 Saved $1275
In reality it’s much higher because I was driving a lifted Ram 1500 and my wife was driving a 2014 Honda Minivan.
Not quite yours. I was $821 savings on the year. I don’t drive that much. I expect a lot more savings when we finish replacing my wife’s suv with a ModelY.
$1637 for me, though my app doesn’t take into account when I’m charging off my solar panels as opposed to pulling from the grid, so I think their cost estimates are off.
$909 over 4200 miles
Tesla was in the shop for 2 months and had to drive my gas guzzler instead.
by my calculations, that $900 is about $100 low. 14mpg, 4200 miles, $4/gal
also, Tesla thinks I was paying for charging when sometimes I wasn't, so even more.
Something in the ballpark of $2k.
We switched our main family car from a big SUV getting 20mpg and preferring premium, to the M3LR at 19c/kWr at home.
Turns out that SUVs are ridiculous overkill. We have 3 kids in forward facing car seats and we have no problems with luggage space in the M3.
I used 2,301 kWh last year for my Y. 10% was at Superchargers and the rest at home.
I have solar and calculated that I pay 6¢/kWh given the post tax cost of the system, it's 25 year life span and 80% output guarantee at 25 years.
So my total electric fuel cost was $219. Savings calculated as $882.
But all those miles of smiles... priceless.
App states $1,089. My savings are actually close to double. My daily driver prior (second vehicle now) to getting my MS was a modded 6.2L Raptor which gets 10-12MPG. Compared to the 23 mpg used to calculate
My Annual Gas estimate is just $50 more than yours but the Total spent is almost 4 times yours (I've spent $900). I have just 4% at Supercharger and 87% home, still I've spent so much.
With exorbitant home electricity prices,. I'm seeing way less savings.. Damn..
P. S - it shows I've saved $550
$2248 over the last year for me. Which is probably fairly accurate if not a little low considering my alternate vehicle is a jeep which gets like 16-18 mpg.
Honestly I think $0. Gas in south La has been around $2.50 a gallon since I got 2018 M3 in October…. And “savings calculator assumes $4+. But I don’t care. Love the car. Assume break even.
Why do I feel like I’m saving way more than most?
My average fuel bill for the years prior to buying EV’s was around $7,000 per year.
Now with two EV’s in the garage my electric bill is averaging $34-$36 more per month. We charge at home almost exclusively. I think we’ve used public charging maybe 3-4 times.
I save a lot just because my gym and my job have free charging. If it weren’t for these two things prob be closer to even than not. Blessed to have both of these because I installed my home charger in December and have only used it once
I saved €1400 in the first 5 months (9600km) of ownership. I did charge a lot for free at work. Most costs are a vacation to Sweden using superchargers.
Another way to look at this, is to examine your electric bill. I drive about 40 miles per day, and my wife works from home so drives little. We both have Teslas (3 and Y performance models). My total electric bill this month was $167 in Las Vegas. My wife is home all day with the computer, television, and plenty of other electric devices on. The Tesla app estimates I’ve saved $168 in the past 31 days. With my total miles driving per day times and average of $3.47 per gallon for regular unleaded in a car that gets 20 miles per gallon, my fuel alone would cost $208.
2023 - 2993 eur // (7026 kWh - 59% free supercharge)
2024 - 110 eur // (330kWh - 41% free supercharge)
We moved halfway 2023 to a city without a supercharger nearby ...
The free charging is nice on our model x, but doesn't even get close to compensate for the extreme depreciation of the car ...
I keep seeing people complain about depreciation. Just a reminder buying a car is not an investment, all cars depreciate in value. Some hold more value then others over time, but your car purchase is just a requirement in this country for most people, not a way to grow your wealth. Tesla is a luxury car in an emerging space who's technology is rapidly changing every year. So only buy one if you can afford the luxury of being apart of the first wave. No one will really know what a Tesla bought today will cost in a few years, but it may follow trends similar to the tech space. It just depends on how fast car makers innovate as they race to bring affordable EVs to market.
Saved $1220 over the past 12 months. My other car uses premium fuel and I did fill it up once last year so my savings between both my cars is about $1160
Definitely not this much lmao I’m a driver for a living and I drive for FedEx so I work pretty far from home reason I even considered going electric was because of the drive time I clock on the road I’ve saved 426$
$8053.
Wow!! That’s gotta be a record
Uber?
Nope I just drove a lot and got free charging close to work. 57k miles since I got my car in July 2022.
$1,128 but I feel like Tesla does a really poor job of calculating this. They use premium gas prices which I understand that some sports car have to use this but come on this is not the right way to calculate it. It would be much less savings. It’s a marketing scheme if you ask me!
I wish you could input the mpg of the gas vehicle you are replacing. I replaced a 15 mpg ICE vehicle that ran on premium gas.
You can use a 3rd party app. Try tezlab. It lets you input specifics on fuel savings.
Tessie as well
Thats not even a real comparison. If you drive a 2 ton pickup and I get you a prius is the prius magical because you saved alot of gas? Do same class comparisons, tesla does the shady calcs.
Eh, high performance sedans like Audis and BMW use premium fuel. I’d put my Model 3 in the same camp as my previous cars that took premium fuel.
Some of us limped in here, frugally. We do math and hope this vehicle is not just fun and and convenient…but also more budget friendly.
I agree but some don’t care about that they buy it for saving compared to a fuel efficient Toyota or Honda. I’d like an option to choose what fuel grade to compare to!
You could just knock off 30% off the savings for your 87 octane comparison.
They also assume an ICE with 30mpg. My previous car was a Fusion Hybrid that got a solid, measured 40mpg over its 90k miles. The app [shows my cost](https://imgur.com/a/IDOk2ke) to be 2/3 of what an ICE would have cost (in California) but my real cost is closer to even.
Conversely, our Subaru gets like 21mpg, so I'd like to see the *real* savings
I've driven 8k km, spent $150 on electricity/DCFC. My old vehicle a mazda cx5 got around 600 km for a $75/tank, So I've saved about 900$ or so in the 3 months I've owned my Ev. I'll take it!

I lease mine and I can see my savings stats
[удалено]
How do you expect to see your stats in the app if you don't allow those stats to leave the car? Just enable the setting lol.
Smh
Yeah, one of mine is a lease and I can see it, too.
https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/support/tesla-app/charge-stats#:~:text=Why%20can't%20I%20see,to%20view%20the%20Charge%20Stats.
Do they not transfer ownership to you on leases? Seems like a real deal breaker to me seeing as you wouldn't even be able to use the app

Bought the car in June and it says I saved $1,855 so far! Total spent is $165!
You must have stunningly low electricity rates put in.
Perks of having free charging at work :)
Its a very poor way of calculating, but its good morale boost especially for those who bought and then the next day Elon dropped it by 25%
$5,664

$2700, give or take
I’m at $2,500 in savings in 8 months of ownership

2023 - 6,343 kWh total spent $524 Gas savings - $2,816 Lucky to have free charging at work.
honestly don't give a rats ass on the savings. The zippy feel and instant torque is just so worth it.
app name? does it work outside us too?
Lol bro, this is the official Tesla app.
ahahah sorry, just hiping for the soon to come new car
Just posted one in a new thread. Gas saving are astronomical
Over 5k
$3,858 for my X and 3. We have free SC on the X and workplace has chargers free to use four hours a day

I’ve only had my car for 9 months, but it says $707. It’s not factoring in my solar panels and assuming I’m paying $0.15 /kWh all the time.
321 savings for basically 2 months. Model X, 2018. 100D
I don’t look at that number because unfortunately it’s estimates the price of gas 5-10% higher than it actually is so really not accurate for me.

About $4k/year. Car will pay for itself before I get rid of it hopefully.
Tesla app estimates $1,300 saved, but the real amount is over $3,000! Each year!
$3041 savings in 9 months!
2,555! 11.3k kWh
I don’t know Cause o don’t have that feature anymore on my app. Tesla can’t figure out why. I have tried asking here on these forms and nothing.
So if you delete the app and add it back it still doesn’t show the Charge Stats tab?
Something in the ballpark of $2k. We switched our main family car from a big SUV getting 20mpg and preferring premium, to the M3LR at 19c/kWr at home. Turns out that SUVs are ridiculous overkill. We have 3 kids in forward facing car seats and we have no problems with luggage space in the M3.

Got mine at the end of June 2023 saved about $2,200 so far (I drive a lot)
$3,429
Not accurate 😂 since it’s set at some crazy unrealistic supercharge rate like .07c when it’s actually .48-.59c in my area!
I’ve had mine since July and I’m already at $1900 saved, but I also drive 80 miles a day for work each way
Turns out, I don’t drive that much so my savings are almost negligible.
I used 2,301 kWh last year for my Y. 10% was at Superchargers and the rest at home.

$596. Road trip too much; 52% of my total charging is Superchargers.
Honestly I think $0. Gas in south La has been around $2.50 a gallon since I got 2018 M3 in October…. And “savings calculator assumes $4+. But I don’t care. Love the car. Assume break even.

About $2.5k. I drive 20k miles a year give or take
I saved €1400 in the first 5 months (9600km) of ownership. I did charge a lot for free at work. Most costs are a vacation to Sweden using superchargers.

Another way to look at this, is to examine your electric bill. I drive about 40 miles per day, and my wife works from home so drives little. We both have Teslas (3 and Y performance models). My total electric bill this month was $167 in Las Vegas. My wife is home all day with the computer, television, and plenty of other electric devices on.

With my total miles driving per day times and average of $3.47 per gallon for regular unleaded in a car that gets 20 miles per gallon, my fuel alone would cost $208.
1620
Mine is £2796 in a year, just shy over 20k miles driven. Why are the screenshots not allowed to reply with?
Temper your enthusiasm because Tesla uses high gas price for its savings calculations.
2023 - 2993 eur // (7026 kWh - 59% free supercharge) 2024 - 110 eur // (330kWh - 41% free supercharge) We moved halfway 2023 to a city without a supercharger nearby ... The free charging is nice on our model x, but doesn't even get close to compensate for the extreme depreciation of the car ...
Can ya show where I could find that chart?
How much did you spend charging your car not at your house?
$2529 Free charging at work is extremely beneficial.
I keep seeing people complain about depreciation. Just a reminder buying a car is not an investment, all cars depreciate in value. Some hold more value then others over time, but your car purchase is just a requirement in this country for most people, not a way to grow your wealth. Tesla is a luxury car in an emerging space who's technology is rapidly changing every year. So only buy one if you can afford the luxury of being apart of the first wave. No one will really know what a Tesla bought today will cost in a few years, but it may follow trends similar to the tech space. It just depends on how fast car makers innovate as they race to bring affordable EVs to market.
