However, affected by the exclusive insurance of new energy vehicles, the tesla Model Y premium increase has caused many users to pay attention to the cost of this car, in the final selection of the car, between the single motor rear-drive version and the dual motor four-wheel drive version, how much difference in the cost of the car, may directly affect the user's decision to buy a car. So next, we will conduct a car cost survey on different versions of Tesla Model Y models, which mainly focuses on insurance costs, maintenance costs and electricity costs.
Insurance cost survey
After the launch of the new energy vehicle captive insurance, the insurance cost of Tesla Model Y has been raised to a certain extent, especially in terms of car damage insurance. According to our previous investigation, the hot-selling model "2022 long-endurance all-wheel drive version" after the purchase of 3 million three major insurance types, car damage insurance and compulsory traffic insurance, the first year premium is about 7000 yuan, if there is no accident in the later use process, the premium will be further reduced, we take the standard premium 20% off the second year, the third year 30% off, calculate the total cost of the "2022 long-endurance all-wheel drive version" three-year insurance cost, about 17500 yuan, an average of about 5833 yuan per year.
We continue to Tesla Model Y entry-level model "2022 rear wheel drive version" insurance cost investigation, because the guidance price is cheaper than the "2022 long endurance all-wheel drive version" to more than 40,000 yuan, so the insurance cost is relatively cheap, the first year of premium needs about 6500 yuan, the later period is still based on no accident, insurance the second year 20% off, the third year 30% off calculation, three years of insurance total cost of about 16250 yuan, the average annual premium of 5416 yuan. In contrast, between the two Tesla Model Y models, the annual insurance cost is more than 400 yuan.
Maintenance cost survey
According to our survey, the maintenance price of tesla Model Y models is almost the same, and the maintenance items and maintenance cycles are exactly the same. Vehicles need to carry out routine inspections of the three-electric system, chassis, etc. every 40,000km or 24 months, and at the same time replace the brake fluid, the routine inspection cost is 621 yuan, and the replacement price of the brake fluid containing man-hours is 753 yuan. The air conditioning filter element needs to be replaced every 20,000km, and the price is 382 yuan. The antifreeze needs to be replaced every 80,000km, and the price including man-hours is 911 yuan.
We take the general family car three years driving 60000km as the car cycle, calculate the total cost of Tesla Model Y maintenance, about 2521 yuan, an average of 840 yuan per year. It can be seen that because the maintenance / inspection cycle of Tesla Model Y is particularly long, the parts replacement project is relatively small, so it greatly reduces the cost of car maintenance within three years, even if the inspection fee, the cost of working hours is expensive, but the average annual maintenance cost of 840 yuan is enough for a pure electric medium-sized SUV of more than 300,000 yuan.

Therefore, there is also a difference in power consumption. According to our survey of "2022 rear-wheel drive version" users actually consume about 14kWh per 100 kilometers, based on the current household electricity consumption of about 0.56 yuan / kWh, the electricity bill of 60000km for three years is about 4704 yuan, an average of 1568 yuan per year.
