Haha that’s funny. But I want a Tesla

Buy literally any other EV.

That's because they track your driving behavior. GPS, speed, frequency of use, where you go, etc.

Low mileage - so you got some life for the warranty. I’d recommend 2023 and 2022 as the very max

AMD Chip - I believe later half 2022 models have these and onward

FSD - someone may have purchased FSD completely on that vehicle which is around 8K so that would be a huge plus

Thanks! Do you think long range worth the extra $$? And also is FSD the same as autopilot?

Why you going used? The financing deal they got going on is great

First off, nowhere did I disagree that mathematically it makes more sense to purchase used. I simply suggested exploring the deals they have going on. Especially with the federal tax credit but unfortunately they’ve stated they do not qualify for that.

Secondly, you’re assuming that there is a zero chance this decision to purchase a used Tesla is not emotional. They already put an emotional decision buy wanting to purchase a Tesla, if it weren’t then they’d go with any other EV that made financial sense because there are definitely other EVs out there for much cheaper and better value.

Thirdly, when making an emotional decision there’s always a number spread that the purchaser is comfortable with saying “You know what, I know I’ll be paying X amount over but this is worth the piece of mind going brand new without risking previous driver habits” especially when there is factory warranty.

For example, as of June 2024 teslas come with 4-year/50k bumper to bumper warranty while the drive unit is 8-year/100-150K miles.

I don’t qualify for EV credit

Ah. Just saw this response. Yeah, used is probably the best move then.

Battery health

There is literally no other issue with teslas. There is no ice engine so there is no maintenance whatsoever….no fan belts, no headers, no spark plugs, no oil, nothing. Everything is about the battery health

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?

Will be in the market for a car in a month or so - narrowed down to Mazda CX 50 Turbo but the BMW X3 is only around $5k more compared to the Mazda Turbo trim I liked. Torn between these 2, would really appreciate any advice/insight in making this decision in regards to longterm ownership, rate of depreciation and maintenance.

Okay, Audi C7 S6 or 2017 E43 and why?
