I just bought one yesterday, if nothing else, for peace of mind. I do have a White on White. So, sunlight is still getting reflected. I'm no rocket surgeon, but I'm sure that light is still hitting in some way as it would directly without an obstruction. I do have Ceramic Window Tint, but you're...

I do not. All my groceries are delivered. And I don't go to the doctor, all "annual" appointments are over the phone.

I have a Jan 2022 Model 3. I have not bought an interior roof shade. I have noticed that I've started to get this tan on my cheeks, and I don't know the reason why. I'm going to go to a dermatologist to get it checked out, but I want to rule out everything that is not the culprit. I NEVER go...

Oh, ...I'm sorry, the purpose of your comment is completely irrelevant to me. I don't have car payments, I bought the car cash. And I'm retired, and pretty wealthy, so I definitely don't need financial advice. The whole point of this post is to determine whether it's worth "saving your miles"...

I don't know. Every time I walk into a place and it's staffed by people between 18 and 25 ONLY, I get an uneasy feeling. I feel like they need some "adult supervision", you know?

Absolutely, I agree. However, with how the economy and the market is right now, I think it's wise to hold on to every bit of value of all your material possessions. I made a lot of money selling properties, early in the year. So, I would rather not depreciate this brand new Model 3 right now, at...

I actually used Carvana when I sold my last Model 3. Made a profit. It was very easy. The only drawback is dealing with the 22 year old staff. You kind of feel like they're going to mess something up. But I wouldn't object to selling to them again.

I'm gonna give Tesla a call, about a trade in - see where they stand on this. I'll be back with info.

Well, that is, of course, your opinion. I have owned 29 cars in my lifetime. I have owned 11 BMWs, 9 of which were pretty old (older than 15 years at the time). Only 2 needed major repairs. I don't subscribe to the whole "BMWs naturally and automatically are in needs of repairs, will need big...

No, not just the cost of fuel. I think you missed the first part of this post. The overall question is: What would you do - buy a 2nd, cheap car for $3000 and not care about the mileage (while also owning the Tesla) - or DRIVE your Tesla for 3000 miles, and letting it depreciate in value...

Well, not to dismiss your comment - but the overall question for this post is sort "considering the car doesn't have any repairs." The lold post was exactly about whether having a car with repairs was worth against a brand new car. But on this post, the hypothetical is about getting a cheapo...

I was exaggerating. But I just checked insurance on my last 2004 e46, it was $30/mo.

Ok, some posts are starting to take a rude and disrespectful turn. I would say if you don't see something valuable to get from this conversation, you are not required to engage. There's a point to this post. But I will try to answer a bit of what I read so far: 1. I'm a finance/investor at...

Definitely. You're right. I guess I'm looking too much into the immediate future, how much mileage would impact it. Which doesn't make much sense since I 'm not planning on selling the car any time soon, or at all. A 5000 mile Model S, 2012 with a 40kwh battery has low mileage, but who wants...

Well, as I was saying, if they go by the "1 dollar/mile", my "brand new" Model 3 will be worth $7000.00 just from this alone, before the first year of ownership is up - at least. I'm not "unwilling to drive it". As I explained, this is a situation where if my kid's bus route was 1/2 mile...
