Model S Owner Age

Maybe this says more about NJ tech than age-tech correlation.

There's a lot of truth to that. Many skills tend to be focused in areas where there are already skilled people, because it's usually easier for those skilled people to teach others (regardless of age) living with or near them than over the Internet. I blame Michigan, or my local area, for being mostly technically illiterate and uninterested in tech/science than I do older people.

Hoping to have an all-Tesla household before I turn 40. Gen 3 better be on time!

I was going to create a poll for this same question but there's already a good one out there.

I'm most surprised that there are 11 people under 25 who drive a Tesla!

Me too. There was thread where 18yr old in Australia or NZ who posted that he is 18 yr old and bought a Tesla

Some people have all the luck (or more likely rich relatives).

Speaking from personal experience, I wouldn't say that. If they didn't get a direct financial boost from someone rich or by gambling, I'd say they had dedication rather than luck. I wouldn't doubt that most owners under 25 genuinely earned it. It took me less than 5 years to teach myself how to program, get a good job, buy my MS60 (just before I turned 28), and pay off the loan. Someone fresh out of high school could probably do it faster, especially if they learned to program in school and don't have a family to care for (I didn't).

I don't know if he's in college but I think Ampd is around your age IIRC.

Well put. I look forward to the day when it is in the minority for people to jump to the conclusion that someone in their 20's driving a Tesla must have rich relatives.

I'm going to guess you're referring to undergrads only? If so, I'd be genuinely curious to hear about how you were able to afford a Tesla so early = )

36 now but was 35 when I took delivery in october, so I guess I technically need to vote 31 - 35?

If that's the case, I voted in the wrong bracket.

The horror.:scared:

I just turned 24 a few months ago. I'm not in college though. Sounds like people are curious about how the under 25 group got their cars. How did you afford your Tesla while you're still in school? I had the ability to buy mine because I have been playing poker professionally since I got out of high school,

Lucky! That's an amazing gift, what model did you get? Curious... do your parents drive Teslas as well?

I got the S90D with pano, subzero weather package, and AP. My parents actually dont drive teslas but are very interested in it. Once they get a hands on experience, I'm sure it will tip them over the edge of buying one.
