I'm really thinking of getting the model x next year. Need to replace parents' car. Anyone know if they finance and what rate it's done it or what the down payment is etc...?
 
I think stb was looking into one for his wife. Maybe ask him if he knows where to find said info? :dontknow:
 
Ummm… If you have to ask about their finance rates, you probably can't afford the car.
 
I got a ride in friends tesla, neat car, but I'd never consider buying one. Interior is all about the electronics, not much style or luxury for the money. I'll stick with Mercedes, can get one **** of a car for even money.

If it was personal yes, but this is for business and I can. If my next few deals go through, I'm going to be on the road a lot in southern ontario and it makes sense to have something like this. I need a SUV that I can travel a lot with (not long distances, but 200km a day max is good enough)

Problem with the formula, is that is's a sh1tload of money to save a few K a year on gasoline. I'd like to see a spreadsheet proving where this car makes financial sense. Some of the perks might be worth it, HOV lane, some parking advantages, but i'd be surpirised if it made sound financial sense.

You're right. I was talking to my accountant about the car and he was thinking of getting it so he started to do a calculations on it. I think he said based on interest and insurance you could break even in 7yrs vs. a luxury car.

If it didn't seem like such pretty plain jane rental car with a giant ipod as a center console, might be worth it.
