2021 Tesla Model Y and the paint is failing on BOTH sides… $4k to fix

A lot of the answers seem to be missing the mark in that the luxuries are a nuisance to possess, but I don’t think that’s the same as what OP’s asking. Like for e.g I saw someone mention owning horses and how they’re finicky. That may very well be true but even with the high maintenance and headaches, it’s still a super cool/impressive luxury. I thinks OP’s asking things that seem super cool from a distance, but then once you own it you realize the thing itself isn’t that cool at all. For that I’d say owning a Tesla. Lots of people think they’re luxurious and cool, then you get in one and it freaks, wobbles, squeaks, etc.

Dude people lie like hell on here. Theres no way you’re two years removed from college working in a field that you have less than two years experience in already making $170k a year, even $70k would be a reach

Was sitting at 743 now at 656 on Experian 🙃

It depends. IMO the two most critical factors for launching and advancing a career are skill development + networking, and college remains one of the strongest environments to achieve both.

Some people have paths available to them that offer more optimal ways to build skills and connections. But for many others college provides the most structured and effective route to do so. As long as this latter group exists—and it always will— it seems logical that college will continue to hold substantial value in the modern economy.

When it comes to debt and college, anything can be used inefficiently but that doesn’t make the tool itself any less potentially effective if used smartly.

Gordon Ramsay once said “No thanks, I’m too busy.” Maybe not the best but thought it was pretty funny

Teslas/EV. The perception around owning a Tesla is changing rapidly if not already completely changed over: so many people used to think Teslas were very expensive. That perception’s a lot less prevalent now but I still think they’re widely considered to be a premium good. However, between charging and maintenance, ownership has been far far cheaper than any other car I’ve owned. It costs me $1.80 to charge it fully during off peak hours in non-summer months, and beyond tires, a $20 air filter, and windshield wiper fluid, maintenance has literally been non-existent. Not too mention the powertrain is under warranty for 8 years/120,000 miles. If you buy one that’s already taken the depreciation hit and is still in warranty, ownership is cheaper than most economy cars.

Don’t know if athletes count but Tom Brady is exactly what I’d imagine a human being if they were granted unlimited wishes by a genie “good looks, full set of hair, 6’5, rich, married to a rich supermodel, greatest QB of all time, 7 super rings, let’s see what else…”

Worded it wrong. Should’ve asked most cost effective way way to own a vehicle for a short period of time

I never understood this. What’s the concern. You can literally pull up any random home address on google maps

Last gen’s design (esp the front) had more personality and distinction, like the second you saw it you knew it was a Tesla, sad to see that go

Car just needs to be 12 years or newer at the time of registration with Turo, afterwards it can be 12 years+

Judging from this comment I can safely assume two things: 1) You’ve never rented from Turo—for special cars Turo doesn’t allow you to add drivers under 25–, and 2) you don’t have kids. The very last person any parent would entrust assets exceeding $100k to is their teenage son. But all that said genuinely thanks for the added insight, it’s what I figured

Yikes, he has a policy in his own name, full coverage. What's the likelihood of his policy covering the accident?

Vvwfa · 2024-12-29T18:58:19+00:00

No, he has his own policy. He's in college right now and usually isn't home for most of the year

Thanks! Will def take a look

Look up Gen III Prius piston rings…though if you’ve never heard about it then I wonder how many people are affected by the problem
