1. Be grateful.
2. Spend money on experiences, not things.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks lke this. I have asked some of these people why they never bought a Tesla and here are a few answers.Funny, everytime I see somebody with a different new car I think "why didn't they buy a Tesla?"
That kind of can?2- can’t put hydro in a can if you run out of power
My wife always tells me that I have good taste for cars, but somehow other people are catching up only after I trade it in for a new one. Someone's gotta pave the way.The day these same people purchase an EV will be the day they made the right decision, until then it’s just silly to buy one.
Why did I buy a Tesla?
From a cold financial analysis there is no way I could justify buying a Tesla.
however I think helping a technology move forward that is important and necessary is a good thing to do. The green tech that Tesla is pushing forward is something I truly believe in.
Of course there are other ways to be "green" but this is one way I choose to do so.
I know that about half the electric energy in Illinois is supplied by coal so an electric car is not as clean as it could be however the grid will continue to receive more and more of its supply from renewable sources and a normal car will never get cleaner....the Tesla will.
The safety features of the car cannot be overstated. And as new software is pushed to the car it will get safer. I drive many late nights when I return from work and the current state of driver assistance is amazing for these drives.
Coming from a "car guy" background the acceleration and handling is amazing!
but ultimately I believe life is about experiences and the Tesla is a hell of an experience.
My best answer is where do you want to send your money, Saudi Arabia, or Silicon Valley?

1- the company is going to fold and you will be stuck with the car without a manufacturer
2- can’t put hydro in a can if you run out of power
3- I don’t want to drive a golf cart
4- waiting for the bugs to be worked out
Now there are others like price and range fear. The day these same people purchase an EV will be the day they made the right decision, until then it’s just silly to buy one.

In my lifetime, I have spent a great deal of money on beautiful cars and fast women. The rest of the money I wasted. Whatever floats your boat.

Because I can.
Every dog understands that.
I have spent a great deal of money on beautiful cars and fast women--This I like...experience life
This definitely works. I don't even mention environmental benefits anymore. Although I do mention the benefit of using the extra 1MWh of juice I generated last year from solar It's like free gas.I found over the years of owing Teslas that the best answer to the question is "for the performance". I've tried the green angle, the financial angle, maintenance angle, and it goes in one ear and out the other. When I say "performance" it intrigues people and keeps the discussion from escalating to environmental issues, etc.
