Quote NewtonPulsifier “the reasons you gave aren’t quite as good as the reality.”. Not quite is more than good enough for me plus “the reasons you gave aren’t quite as good as the reality.” just justifies my reasoning.
And then there’s the China factory at 150k a year starting ramp up probably last quarter of this year.
There’s something called a “discount rate”. If say I can get a 6% return on investment (after inflation). I could buy a car for $20,000 and invest $20,000. In 12 years I’d have $40,000. Buy another car for $20,000, reinvest $20,000.
Anyways, you have to “discount” the value of something in the future due to that. If you save $1 now, it is worth $1 (called net present value). If you save $1 12 years from now, you’ve saved $0.50.
I’m not saying don’t buy a Model 3, but the reasons you gave aren’t quite as good as the reality.
Soon to be a 500k units a year operation.

Can’t be true! I am the only person on Earth that wants to own the best car ever made, at a price that’s really cheap. The way I look at it is a regular standard fossil fuel car will last about 200,000 miles. A Tesla will last 1,000,000 miles. So I would have to buy 5 regular cars, one right after another to equal one tesla. 1 tesla = $50,000 and 5 regular cars = $35,000 X 5 = $175,000. 1 Tesla using no gas or 5 regular cars is a no brainer to me.
And yes I do own tesla stock I would be incredibly dumb not to.
