    Default Any Tesla owners in here?

    I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on a Model 3 this week. I average about $600 a month in gas in my 4 cylinder regal and the gas saving alone would cover almost my entire payment on the Tesla. Just curious if anyone has one and what kind of likes/dislikes you have on it.

    I dont. However, I'm curious to hear anyone's input on the actual cost of owning electric. What did they save in fuel vs how much the household electric bill increased (plus whatever it costs to charge while not at home).

    From what I have seen about Tesla so far, the fit and finish is subpar but the technology is new/different.

    I don't own or have really even touched one before. A girl I work with has one though, not sure of the model, it looks like the Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters. I think she likes it though.
    Benefit is, all sorts of places have power connections that you can scam a charge from, where as if you have gasoline or diesel, you have to pay for it.

    If you live by a Meijer I think you can get free charging there. I heard they opened it up to Model 3's. Otherwise, I think they are a bit overpriced. But hey, if you can swing the charging it might work out. Until they go out of business, they should hold their resale.

    I worked on one recently. Not a fan at all.
    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

    That's what warranties are for. I don't mind driving a loaner for months. Less miles on mine!
