Model S: Overwhelmingly male and over 45 years old/Model 3 Don't Die

[Max*]

Early 30s, Male, 2 kids under 5.

I also see very few people my age with Tesla's.

Got a Tesla for a lot of reasons, my wife convinced me (she loves driving it, she said her next car will be electric, and we have a reservation for a Model 3 for her), safety, fun, and I'm a techie.

26, male had the car for a while now.

How old would I be if I didn't know how old I was? I'm a 20+ something-over-40 but the Tesla makes me break into an old Sinatra tune every time I drive:

"You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung and a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young"

 

[fallen888]

38, male. Just got my VIN today!

Can't say I'm surprised on either accounts. Older people likely to have reached the point in their lives where they can afford a Tesla. And you know how us boys love our tech toys and gadgets.

 

[leighb]

43 year old female. I've had my car for 3 weeks and I absolutely love it!

 

[TaoJones]

I'm 106 and male. At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Stereo, meet type.

[Austin Powers]

37 male turning 38 in a few days. Two kids under 5. Wife is a stay at home mom. I work in tech in upper mgmt. Making rental properties work for the payment

FWIW, came to this country 15 years ago with $2000 in my pocket. Who knew driving an American car would be the ultimate American dream

33 male... I'm regretting not buying Tesla stock earlier as have been a fan of the company since it launched, also would have been able to afford a Tesla before now if I had. It's a bit of a stretch for me, as sadly even with a PhD in CS, CS faculty are woefully underpaid compared to industry. But still started slowly lining up consulting work so maybe that'll change in the future. As I told a student during summer orientation this summer, choose a job you are excited to wake up to do and it won't feel like work

@Az_Rael we need to change the demographics of the STEM fields and the social norms that tend to shape who chooses to go into STEM fields. It's on my list of things I'm working to change, including actively trying to engage local K12 as the change needs to happen before they get to higher ed.

If I had some more disposable income after buying my S I would purchase stock. 2 kids in college , a third soon. I'm lucky to be getting the S

I bought my shares when the stock price dropped earlier this year, but sold them recently in prep for paying for my S; however, seemingly could have held of since my vehicle is still not in production.

 

[Chopr147]

I ordered 3 days before you. I have been "in production" for a week now. If it makes ya feel better , you will get yours before me most likely due to shorter transit time

57. Always wanted a Tesla but too cheap and I didn't want payments. Then I saw a model s with a license plate holder that said "just charge it". Figuring this was a sign from God, I financed one
