Tesla Roadster Dreamer

[MaxPowers]

Hi Everyone,

This is my post on my progress for saving my for Tesla Roadster. Ever since I was a teenager I've always wanted Lamborghini Diablo Roadster. Now that I'm an adult I started saving for one but when Tesla announced the 2020 Roadster I've had a change of heart. Now I'm going to buy the Tesla Roadster instead of the Lambo. Mainly because I'm a treehugger I don't think I would have enjoyed driving around in ICE supercar. .

My goal with this post is to encourage other dreamers to act instead of just dreaming and have this be an outlet for my frustrations with setbacks. The way I'm tracking my progress is by breaking up the $200k into $5k increments which is 40 units.

My Current Progress:

11/2018
My savings is at 6.5 of 40. Which is 16% of my goal.
The estimated remaining years is 4.7 so I really needs to grow my business in the future to shorten that time frame.

Current goals I'm working on:
1: Making sure that my family thrives and kids have the best education possible, this is always ongoing
2: Expanding my business to another state

That’s exactly how I’m tracking my savings as well. I break it down into a point system.


Good luck to you!

Slow but steady wins the race !

Please keep updating us of the progress and wish you luck.

That is a great post. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.

I believe that the New Roadster is going to be mind blowing and a new paradigm for high performance vehicles.

Until you actually get the Roadster! Then it's GAME OVER!

I am saving up as well. So far 30% of the founder series

I'd say that you go ahead and put 2/3 of that savings on a refundable reservation for the standard model. If you don't save enough to order the Founders model before they are all gone , you'll be kicking yourself for having to go to the back of the line.

What a great post. I have been struggling between getting the P100D or the new Roadster, one obviously being more practical than the other and less expensive (but those 1/4 mile time though). I guess the one thing I have going for me is I have no kids or wife/ x-wife sucking the fruits of my labour out of my wallet.

I suppose if I saved 50% of the cost and financed the rest (while trading in my P85D) it would be doable.

Option "C" is to buy one slightly used a few years after the release. Although half the fun is going to be crushing any supercar that in your path. My guess is that after the videos start hitting YouTube you won't be able to get them to look in your direction.

You have no idea, then. Kids are totally worth it.

Spoiler

Not.

Not.

I disagree with the “not” part.
I love all my toys and cars but I’d give it all up for my daughter. Luckily I don’t have to

I know, I was just being a little facetious.

Of course kids are priceless.

You could take a look into the Tesla referral system. Even sales of Model 3 can get you referral points, nowadays. After the initial threshold, each referral is one of your 'units', just about.

But he'd have to buy a Model S/X or 3 or Solar to get a referral code.

I just wanted to make quick update.

4/2019
My savings is at 9.1 of 40. Which is 22.8% of my goal. 6% increase
The estimated remaining years is 4.3.

Current goals I'm working on:
The goal to grow my business hit a snag. Instead of trying to grow my business I spent all my time to save it instead. The place I get my content made some massive changes on their end because of that they didn't want to provide the content anymore. Luckily that's almost over.

Been saving for a new car for over 24 years.

In the process, was able to retire early.

Bought a used MS last year, but wife does not like to drive it and wants to replace her also last century car with BMW.

I am thinking R2 when the CPO warranty runs out 2022 would be a good BMW preventer.

Checked my portfolio, I spend so little in retirement that I can spend the 200k and not have to eat cat food.

What should I do?

To the OP...if the task seems daunting, consider it like eating an elephant, you do it one bite at a time.

My wife is the opposite, she doesn’t want to drive anything but the model s

But she also won’t let me purchase a Roadster unless the monthly payments are covered by our investment dividends.

You already know the answer. Buy the Roadster! Congrats on early retirement...I retired at 56 and like you, I've barely touched the nest egg, so dropping $200k shouldn't be a retirement killer!

 

[Roadster22]

I have $105,000 of on the 2020 Roadster. I am looking to sell my percentage for $80,000 allowing the person who buys it to save 10% on the car! Let me know if you have interest Max as I have a couple people I will message that I have heard currently have interest.
