I just paid off my Jeep and plan to keep it for at least another year or two, or until something serious goes wrong with it. This is about the time I start shopping for my next vehicle. Vanity is a large part of my decision making process and I like to upgrade my cars each time. However, I also am a slob who has terrible luck having stones fly off the road to chip my paint of windshield.
With that, I'm very intrigued by the Tesla's. I was looking at the X due to the DeLorean doors and 7 seats. However, those come in around 100k, which is insane to me. I recently discovered the Model Y, which gives similar features and is around 60k (Still a lot, but doable). I like that it will make it from Baltimore to Rochester in a single charge. Yes, I won't pay for gas, but even at 4.5k a year for gas, that still doesn't cover the difference between a Tesla and mid-range car price. I do see their resell value is insane!
With that, if you have one, convince me to get one or not to. If you don't have a Tesla, I'm sorry but I'm not interested in your theory.
