Hi Folks!
Huge Tesla fan here. I'm leaning towards purchasing a Model S, which in a numbers only way is a very poor decision. But, it's also one I want to make anyway.
I'm a Honda guy, I've owned two civics. One being a 2006 Coupe LX that was the only thing available when I was moving for a job. The other is my current (pretty new) 13 Civic Si Sedan, which I ADORE.
However, I think Tesla, and Elon Musk are propelling us into the future. I'd love to get in at somewhat of the ground floor. I'm a pretty big personal finance guy so my brain is screaming out me not to spend 82k on a depreciating asset. However there's another part of me that's doing everything it can to override that frugal side.
I've convinced the wife that it's something I want, and while she also agrees that it's stupid, she is on board. We're doing a second test drive tomorrow (70D) where she and a buddy of mine will get to try it out, and hopefully we can test some of the autopilot-ish features.
I'm very likely out of my league here, but I'd love to hear from any of you that bought a Model S yet previously were sub 25k car buyers. If we get a Model S I either plan for it to be my "until it dies" car, OR trade it in to move down (in size) to a Model 3 someday in the future.
Cheers!
