I'm not much into cars but I want a Tesla because of autopilot. I have determined it will be a retirement gift to myself in a few years.

That's up to you and what you feel comfortable paying and how you're saving. I know I said earlier that i was looking into getting one, but that's really only if I get a significant pay increase and when my current car does. I don't personally feel comfortable spending that much on a car, regardless if it's finished or payed all up front. But part of that is need just being cheap. I could afford it at my current income. I've never actually had a car payment before since I've just been using an old Camry my dad gave me. --- Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er ... Copied to Clipboard!

Plus, I'm a little leery of some of the down things I heard, like service team is hard to get a hold of and not very helpful, the body and paint is rather fragile, etc. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'll need a new car soon (later this year). I like the idea of going EV, just don't know if I'll splurge for a new tesla or go cheaper with a used car from another brand

It's got some other funny quirks too, like romance mode (plays a little campfire on the screen) or a funny fart mode where you can make a fart sound effect appear from a specific speaker, meaning you can intentionally make it sound like it came from the back left passenger or from shotgun Gimmicks aside, the whole car is pretty sweet, not gonna lie --- NFLB 2020 Summersim Roster (Drafting in progress): https://imgur.com/SL28DYd St. Louis Battlehawks (1-0) ...

Do you have a house? I think they come with items that allow you to charge at home. I have a cramped garage. How much power would it use? The other issue is there's a single Tesla dealer which is right in the Sydney CBD and there's a single service centre which is an hours drive away from where I live. It's in that awkward phase where the conveniences come with many inconveniences here. I'm sure it'll get there eventually. I just got a family SUV so it's probably gonna be a daydream for a while anyway. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

What do you mean? Are the cameras rolling full time like a dash cam? @Dat_Cracka_Jax Yup. Last I read they added a feature (not sure how recently) where it will also save a 5 second clip of footage to your USB drive if you honk the horn. I believe the 5 second clip is saved separately from the normal footage, but not 100% sure. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

They'll work with the lender directly for the loan details. Then once I upload my car insurance I think they said they'll ship the car on the next transport load.

LOL, Tesla released a Long Range Plus Model S today... 17 more miles of range. Oh well. I'm not gonna start the order process all over again for 17 more miles of range and a slightly higher price.
Update: It looks like the Plus designation is nothing particularly new after all. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said tonight that All S/X cars made in recent months have actually been above stated EPA range. Will be unlocked soon for free via software update. YES Stuff like this is why I love Tesla. I thought I was gonna just have to "deal with" 373 miles of range, but a software update is gonna push the range up to 390. Hell yeah --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
