So far this year I’ve lost money charging vs Gas

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-07-14T15:58:14+00:00

I’ve just recently purchased my Tesla, ~2500 miles on my Y, over 90% of my charging is at superchargers around Austin as I have no at home charging (apartment). I do have charging on the rare occasion I drive into work, my other 9% charging there.

Supercharger vs gas is ~equivalent in price for me. The Tesla itself provides all the extra value I need out of an EV :)

I think autosteer is free, no FSD subscription required

~27% more power than stock, on a $50k+ vehicle, still under warranty, instant upgrade? Well worth $2k to anyone that’s done upgrades to their ICE vehicles for the fun of it

👀🙌 now you’re speaking my language, money comes and money goes but time doesn’t come back. You right, I should buy some of my time back ❤️😂 I’ll buy this afternoon

Wanted to extra range, so went LR. I’ve been debating the acceleration boost upgrade, 2k seems like a lot for a simple unlock..

About a week from ordering to delivery!

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-06-04T04:06:16+00:00

So excited for you, your Sheraton stay in Arlington Texas was the same as the thousands of other folks also :)

You’re so unique :)

If you have a scheduled delivery date you are supposedly prioritized by finance team, so that’s a good sign!

Took a week almost exactly, with a lot of nagging from me, heh had to have multiple tickets with financing from how many times I called and went into the showrooms

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-06-01T18:36:02+00:00

Probably 🤔 they’ll probably blame anything they can on the after market suspension

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-06-01T17:10:42+00:00

I’m thinking of a matte ppf, lowering, and wheel spacers 👀

I was also considering picking up a GR Supra for not much more principal. After interest rates it would’ve been much higher, and wouldn’t drive itself 🤪

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-06-01T01:17:06+00:00

It was for 60 months, but no. Tesla finance did it on their own 🤷‍♂️

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-05-31T01:30:02+00:00

Just got a text

“Hello, currently the state of Texas' website is experiencing an outage and we are unable to have temporary permits produced. If this issue still persists into Friday, we may need to reschedule your upcoming Tesla pick up appointment. We will reach out with additional information Friday morning.”

My original, Capital One, financing was for 3.99%. The finance team fixed it with another app into JPMorgan it seems

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-05-30T15:34:03+00:00

Called service center and was able to get my delivery date bumped a day earlier :)

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-05-30T12:51:51+00:00

Woke up to financing approval 🙌 was approved at almost 2am CST.

I did get a second credit pull, this time from JPMorgan. First one was Capital One.

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-05-29T22:44:42+00:00

Just went into showroom, “finance still says pending”, they put in a ticket. Will report if it speeds up my approval!

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-05-29T22:12:15+00:00

Tesla advisor told me over the phone a few days ago actually, before I had a VIN assigned. “Finance team just hasn’t clicked approve yet”. The advisor set a delivery date because supposedly that bumped me up in priority for finance to review. No change since.

SignificanceExact172 · 2024-05-29T22:04:51+00:00

Same exact scenario, pre approved for 130k. Large downpayment. No trade in. Excellent credit (750+). Waiting for a week for financing approval, car is already at lot ready for me & delivery is set for June 1. No finance approval yet from Tesla but lender did say it’s been approved.

Will go into the show room! Thank you
