I am brand new to this community! I put a deposit down for a Model Y last night and I must admit I'm feeling... bittersweet about it. As happy as I am about purchasing a Tesla I cannot help but think, "Am I making a mistake?" I have been dying to get a Tesla for several years, especially in terms of trying to help the planet in some small way, but I have been stopping myself because I wanted something slightly bigger than the Model 3 but not as expensive as the Model X. For anyone reading this post, I would like some advice and/or assurance regarding two details for this order:
1) Although Tesla claims this is an SUV, it is still really small. I ordered the 7-seat option, mostly thinking that it would be nice to have 7 seats in case of an emergency, but I'll more than likely keep the third row folded down most of the time. Considering how small the Model Y is, do you think it was a mistake to order it with 7 seats?
2) I am a year shy of 30 years old and I am trying to forge a new career working at home. At this exact moment in my life, I do not make a whole lot of money, but I am debt free and I own my house without any mortgage, plus I have a sizeable savings. (Around the 200k mark.) I am married with one boy, not really looking to have more children, and my wife works as well as attends college, so we do have a little income. My hope was that for the next two years I save enough from our income to pay for as much of the car as possible and then dip into my savings for the rest. I know I can afford this car, but my concern is if I should be buying it while I am still trying to establish my career and my wife is going to school? Am I making a mistake?
I appreciate any and all who have spent the time reading my post. I am anxious to read your responses!
