Tesla’s are expensive commuter cars. They are cool and perf is good. You can also get a Benz or other luxury brands and drive across the country. Gas $$ is not going to make up for the premium on an EV. They’re cool, fast, pretty good quality, but it’s a commuter car due to range.

Buy it. I have a Tesla and even after a year of owning it, the current resale value is slightly below a new Tesla. With Tesla wait times for new cars, I’m pretty certain I could get a good bargain if I were to sell mine.

This isn’t about how much you make. This is a financial decision. No gas, no maintenance, no oil etc, and resale value strong. all notwithstanding the fact that the car drives like a breeze and I absolutely love it every single minute I’m in the car.

Buy it.

EY3 - Porsche 911 (mines 7 years old and I’m being offered $5k more to trade in than when I bought it), Ford Transit (I bought one to convert in 2018, and now, the 2018s listed out there are $15k more than when I bought it), Toyota FJs, almost any Jeep, Toyota 4Runner, Nissan GT. Your Tesla doesn’t even make the list of 15 cars that hold value (google it) - it’s just a crazy market right now. When things go back to normal, nobody in their right mind will buy one of those 2nd hand…

Oof, I'm hoping to get a new job soon at $150k and finally be comfortable getting a model Y...

Wow the Tesla cult is definitely strong. There is so much competition coming out i.e. Mercedes ESQ, Cadillac Lyriq, Audi, Volvo, GM, Ford, Lucid, Fisker, etc.

We’re all gonna fall into the line of capitalism and buy EV’s 5 to 7 years just as we do with ICE cars. Beyond that repairs get costly.

We’re all just cogs in the wheel, with the expectation of game changers who will change the world.
