Tesla North America

Another Tesla has joined the family. My cousin’s boyfriend just purchased a 2019 Tesla Model 3 for around $12K, clean title, and 93K miles. Great deal. He does a ton of driving, and with gas prices so high, this car will essentially pay for itself. It will cost him less than $2/day to drive while charging at home. No oil changes, practically zero maintenance, OTA Software Updates, it’s a no brainer. This is the way.

Almost bought a used 100K mile Honda Civic for my 16 year-old. Instead, I opted for a preowned lease on a Tesla Model 3 with 45K miles. After taxes, the monthly payment is $200. That’s less than we’d be spending on GAS for the Civic every month. And it’s still under warranty! Maybe we’ll buy it out in a few years, maybe we’ll turn it in and lease a brand new one. Either way, the cost savings of leasing (or owning) a Tesla can’t be ignored.

A Tesla can cost you ~70% less than what you spend on fuel in a comparable gas car Internal combustion engines convert only 20-30% of fuel energy to motion, with 70%+ lost as heat. In comparison, EVs convert 85–90% of battery energy into motion, so you need far less energy to go the same distance

It hit me yesterday when I was going to pick up lunch. I pre-cooled the Tesla Model 3 from my phone, and set the destination to the restaurant. Then I hit start self-driving. Mad Max mode, park in the parking lot. The car drove so confidently, it's movements were so lifelike... I just couldn't believe it. The way it drives is... confident... comforting... better than anything I could have imagined. As it drove me to pick up my lunch order, I changed the music on my phone. I turned up the music and danced a little as I opened X and started reading and replying to peoples comments. It got to the restaurant before I even realized where we were, pulled into the parking lot, and parked perfectly. I picked up the food, put it in the frunk, and then got in the car. Tapped Home (Mad Max, Park in Driveway selected automatically) and then hit self-driving. The car drove me back home like a work of art. It didn't send the food flying around. It was just perfect. When it got home it parked in the driveway, right where the car was before I left, and I brought the food inside. It just hit me like damn, they really created a personally owned Robotaxi. This is the user experience I have been dreaming of for years, and now it's here. It's really working, and it's better than I imagined. The coming months and years will be a lot of fun as we just remove the driver out of the equation entirely.
