You pay $70 for a hair cut and beard trim at the salon. People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Sounds like you are gay for me. Calm down sailor!

Yeah I go do track days all the time goofy. Tesla only wins 0-60 in a straight line, throw in one turn and it's a turtle.

You're not a car guy, quit pretending to be. I swear liberals are the fakest mfers alive

I could give two shets about you and your cars or what you think about cars. 

In case you couldn’t tell I’m just focking with you and your absurd gay comments

Drive the  performance one. They will give you the card to let you take the car, go find a bit of open road and punch it.

That is the one I would buy if I got one.  It is less miles on a charge, but I need the hitch and the 3500 tow power. 

I am not getting rid of my car, so I have plenty of time to wait for the one I want

Nice. If you haven’t I would read a bit about towing and how the impacts battery how far you are driving why towing etc. Like if you are towing a boat a long distance to say a remote lake. 

No clue about that.

All EVs have terrible resale value. It costs about $20,000 to replace the batteries from a dealer. 

You'd be a fool to purchase any used EV.

People are buying 10 year old Teslas for like 20k.

What's the life expectancy of a battery?  If it's 12 to 15 years, then yeah, someone is an idiot for paying $20k for one if it's going to cost another $20k in 2 to 5 years.  In that scenario, you're better off buying a new one for $45k.

No clue about this. I believe it is more miles driven and amount of cycles you have charged rather than simply the years but am not sure.

I would definitely be looking at this closely if I were buying an old car, just like buying any used car, knowing what I was getting into.

I don't even buy used gas cars. Never made sense to me. I want to know everything my car has been through and how well it was taken care of.

Went to test drive a dual motor Model Y - WOW. What balls, thing had pickup way faster than I expected.

The deadline  for .099 APR was may 31, the day I drove the car.

I have a bank of Tesla chargers within 1/4 mile of my house. I thought they were free for tesla, turns out they are not.

I was using that to justify buying one. They said it costs about $25 for a full charge from near empty. My car costs about $50 to fill.. Still not worth it. 

will wait to see if they offer 0 APR. 

also my kid saw the cybertruck, he said if I buy a tesla it has to be that

There is very little difference between 0 and 0.99%

Agreed. but I need more time. I didn't realize it was only till May 31 - As ridiculous as the cyber truck looked, I can totally see getting one

of course the dude keeps emailing and texting me

Yeah you pay for Tesla chargers or pretty much any of the services. I rarely plug in my car at home but I believe in my state it is around 10 bucks to fully charge there a little less depending on time of day.

Unless you can’t charge at home or are on a roadtrip I’d def pass on the Superchargers.

I like this analogy 

 

Comparing Tesla 0-60 times to real performance cars is like comparing a microwave to a bbq grill. It may cook faster, but nobody ever wished for a microwaved burger.
