This is a car you buy when finances aren't a concern at all. It will never, ever make financial sense.

Says the guy with $150,000 car.Please do not buy the Model S. I implore you to wait and buy the Model 3, unless you have money to burn and truly can't wait a year. If you buy a Model S, you will lose a lot of money when the Model 3 plus competitors come out soon.
But, since you are posting here I know you will not listen. It's hard to see a toy in the toy store and not have it today, I get it.

Smart in what way ?I just want to make sure that me getting off of a car in which i owe no money, for an expensive electric car, is actually a SMART decision for me
This thread needs to end. This is just insanity the decision making process.
Please lock this thread..

I found all kinds of ways to rationalize my MS purchase. Being so close to M3 production launch would make it more difficult to rationalize right now. Are you married with an employed spouse? That's one way I looked at it. I only paid $30k for my new MS, and my wife paid $35k for the other half.
I'm assuming that you're being sarcastic here...
To the OP, if the financial implications are of grave concern to you, then don't make the plunge. I also hadn't spent more than $35K on a car until I purchased my MS. Being a pretty conservative person, all of that logic about spending too much money on a depreciating asset went right out the window after I test drove it.
As my wife pointed out to me, what's the point in saving all of your money if you never have a chance to enjoy it? Took me about 3 months to finally go out and make the purchase, but every time I drive my car, I feel the same way I do after a fresh haircut...Like a million bucks!
Not being sarcastic. I got mine over 6 months ago so less time before Model 3. The OP sounded like finances might be tight. I paid way too much and don't want someone else to repeat my foolish mistake. It's nice but not $155,000 nice. I should have gotten an R8 or AMG GTS instead. Probably will cave in and get something sporty in about 6 more months.
found out when I took it in. 1K, as rightly pointed outDoes this pop up when ordering? Or do you find out during delivery?
As an update, I put down the deposit Sunday night to take advantage of a financing offer- but as you know, i have 7 days to cancel the deposit. So its now crunch time to decide.
the overall theme of this seems to be 2 things (which is making this a very, very hard decision for me):
decisions, decisions... ive got until Sunday to make the final call. while i can make it work financially, its still alot of money for me. at the same time however, ever since my test drive, i've been having dreams about this car
Buy the damn car already lol.
Im only 27 years old and i make less than the average model S owner (who is 54 years old and apparently makes $154k+ a year, whilst the average model x owner makes over $250k year) and i still have plenty of $$ left over every month to do fun stuff.
Buying a car is always a waste of money. Might as well buy a Hyundai Accent if you want to save money but need a car for transportation needs, but that's no fun. You're allowed to waste money on things you like, that's life. Not every dollar you spent has to be used in pursuit of more dollars.
