I would be putting down a reservation for a 2020 Roadster if my wife didn't blow all our money on organic junk at Whole Foods / Sprouts.
All kidding aside, I drove a $14k Mazda 3 until my mid 30's. It was a more important goal to get the garage and be free of debt before the luxury car.
Being strictly honest, there is ALWAYS a better place to put a dollar than into a Tesla (or ANY vehicle really) because it is a depreciating asset.
With that said.. you do need to live a little. If you weren't given money and don't want to be deep in debt for a Tesla you really need to
1.) Save like hell elsewhere ($4 Wendys 4 for 4 Combos).
2.) Work your ass off and when you hit the ceiling at your current job, take a second job or side hustle.
As @McRat said, a person making 50,000 a year could be wealthier than someone making 100,000 a year. It all depends on your spending habits and is the culmination to date of what your previous financial decisions have been.
