Same here... never cared about cars. But I became a Tesla maniac to the point people think I lost my mind (except other Tesla owners : ). Just traded in my 1st Model S 75D to a 100D last December... with the 327 miles range, the premium sound and interior, all I want to do is driving!!

Freakin' awesome post!! Summarizes it all pretty much. Thank you!

Same experience here. Love at first sight and ever since!

This is so well said, I have not much to add! Just a few words... I never cared about cars, never owned luxury sedans or anything close before. In fact, I didn't own a car for 16 years (New York city allowed me to get around without a car). But Tesla is not just an amazing car. It's a mission...

Super fun post! First I didn’t want to read it because any bad Tesla news or review makes me literally depressed for the rest of the day. But I care way too much for Tesla (including my Model S) so I couldn’t resist to read about your M3 “issues”. ; ) Totally made me laugh out loud with your...

Things are changing in Cali, too as you know. Good luck there.

That's too funny! I've been counting how many Teslas I see each day... and last month or so, I saw at least 2-3, some days even more. One Saturday I saw 6 (S and X combined)!! Every time I see one my day is brighter. Not because it's a proof for my decision. I've been like this even before...

Thanks for the encouragement, Lasttoy! Yes, the building I live in has a large garage with 3 Tesla chargers, and I already reserved a spot for my car. We are also going to have 3 new Superchargers in Manhattan (according to Tesla), so NYC owners will be able to charge for free, conveniently...

Okay... have you ever lived in New York City? It seems like you don't really know this town, and how much it grew in every way. But I appreciate your feedback. Come and enjoy some time here. Very Tesla-friendly environment.

Hello Ulmo, thanks for your advice. Well, I find it OK to live on an annual $170,000 in Manhattan. I'm single, I own my apartment with a very low monthly expense, have no kids, no pets. I hate shopping and spending money on pointless stuff, and don't really have any expensive habits or...

Thanks a lot for the advice, really helpful! Another question: how easy it is to steal a Tesla? Is it easier or harder than a regular car? Also, what's the best thing to do to prevent it to be stolen (besides it's standard alarm system)?

Oh, yeah, I'm getting one from inventory. But they are not any cheaper than the brand new ones.

Yes, I got a pretty good quote from Geico for this car. About $130 a month. That's good, right?

Thanks for the response. I don't really understand what you mean.

My building has a garage with 3 tesla destination chargers and discounts for residents. I'm in the process of getting insurance quotes.

$170,000

Okay... I'm totally new to buying a Tesla, so I appreciate your feedback. My first question is: Is it reasonable and maintainable to own a Tesla in Manhattan, unless you're a doctor or lawyer or banker? I think my friends and family think I'm insane (regardless of them saying "oh no, you're a...
