I bought a brand new Tesla Model Y in Las Vegas in 2024 for several reasons: EV incentives, the warranty, 2% financing for 72 months, the ability to charge at home, and lower insurance premiums compared to other cars.
Before that, I was driving a nearly paid-off Toyota Corolla. It was a solid, well-built, and relatively cheap car, but gas prices and car insurance were getting expensive. More importantly, it didn’t drive itself, and I’ve always hated driving—so switching to a Tesla felt like a no-brainer.
I ended up paying a few hundred dollars more per month, but in exchange, I got to drive a futuristic car that handles most of the driving for me.
I was initially uneasy about buying a brand-new car because I knew Tesla tends to drop prices significantly shortly after release. However, I’ve had very few problems with it, and I’m glad everything has been covered under warranty. A couple of months ago, the battery died, and Tesla replaced it for free with no hassle.
I don’t fully understand the difference between Hardware 3 and Hardware 4, but I believe Full Self-Driving (FSD) works better and processes faster on Hardware 4.
I don't understand how people are still buying brand new cars. They think financing/leasing makes more sense in that moment because they're emptying their pocket less, but in the end they wasted so much money. Great move on the Tesla!
This is great! I just bought a barely used car on Carvana. Not the best pricing, but I feel the main value is determining the vehicle you're buying, not where you get it from.
What an experience! Car dealers are a total government creation. The only thing keeping them around are protectionist franchise laws, that hurt consumers to protect dealers.
Fantastic ! I was hoping you would document a donation of a auto to Kids with Cancer but maybe in the future . You did well that is a very nice auto and great tax break . That law has been around forever many auto dealers do well in December selling the heavy SUVs off the lots also due to that tax break.
I said I’d never buy a Tesla as long as Musk was in charge. I used to respect and admire the guy but he just couldn’t handle fame and power. So if I ever buy an electric car again, it’ll be from a different brand, Lucid perhaps.
You should also never buy a VW or Mercedes or Japanese Car or anything made in China or products that use Chinese child labor parts (Apple, Samsung, LG etc) because of the owners and history of those companies. 😳

If you pay for it in cash, then plan to drive it for 20 years... is it that bad of a decision to buy a brand new car?
Depends on the car and type I'd say. With the EV space advancing so fast, 20 years could see generations of progress packed into a very short time.
