I'm a new member on the forum. 4 years ago my wife needed a new car to replace her Camry. Camry was here dad's car that she took over when he passed away. We had one child at the time, he was 2. We thought of buying model S but didn't cause they were rear wheel drive only at the time. We wanted AWD for winter driving. We can get lots of snow in Toronto. And the price scared us too.
She ended up leasing a 2013 Lexus GS AWD. What she spends on gas and car payment a month the model S would not have been that much more. It would prob have been about the same cause of oil changes and maintenance. She does about 35 thousand kilometers per year. Oil changes come a lot more often.
Fast forward 4 years we now have three kids. 6, 2 and 8 month old. She bought out lease on Lexus and We just ordered seven seat model X two days ago. Yes it is expensive but the way we look at it we need SUV for family. We both don't like mini vans. Model X will probably be cheaper in the long run than an SUV. I say in the long run cause we plan on keeping it. I still drive a 99 civic. I keep cars long term. If your the type of person who likes to have new cars often then it's really expensive. And you really can't compare model X to a Porsche, unless it's the cayenne SUV. And that will def be more expensive
