“Finally” lol

metalandmeeples 2025-12-19 23:46

RIP your auto insurance premium.

Iamthehottestman 2025-12-19 23:47

Congrats! I daily a m3 highland and it’s been bulletproof. Surprisingly quick too lol. You’ll definitely enjoy it ;) Get a real carbon spoiler for it and it’ll look so smexy

Congrats and Merry Christmas what a wonderful gift to yourself, you will love it!

Tesla auto insurance was actually the cheapest for me when I got mine at 19. Ofc it’s based on your driving score but I was getting full coverage for over $100 less per month than minimum liability quotes. Which was wild but I’ve had it over 2 years now.

You had the opportunity to make more optimal choices in your life. I was in a similar position at 21, and I have some regrets regarding decisions made in my youth.

ProcessNo1281 2025-12-20 00:11

However, enjoy and congratulations.

Adorable-Software-69 2025-12-20 00:15

Just say congrats bro nobody was looking for side comments

I found 1600 for 12 months with VaFB. Kinda insane I was quoted 3k plus for 6 months with big auto insurance.

The “opportunity to make more optimal choices in your life”? What’s that supposed to mean? 😭 OP could have millions of dollars in which case buying a Model 3 would be like buying a 98 Camry and it would be perfectly “optimal”. You’ll also never be 21 again in a Model 3 which is exactly why I got one at 24. Money comes and goes but you’ll never be 21 again with a Tesla.

I know, I was thinking, what took so long.

thepeanutjelly 2025-12-20 01:37

How I wish I had this as my first car, would’ve saved me a lot of stress while going through college. Congratulations!

Global-Barracuda9798 2025-12-20 01:40

Best first car but won’t ever be able to get anything less.

awesome_onions 2025-12-20 01:49

Must have been suffering driving dad’s BMW or taking public transportation with the poors. Good for OP, glad they were able to achieve such a monumental victory.

Organic_Battle_597 2025-12-20 01:53

This is true, you don't really know someone else's situation. Though I have to say, as someone now in their 50s, that in my wider circle of friends and family it becomes more and more clear with each passing year who learned about compound interest and took it to heart, and who had a roaring good time in their 20s.

Yup! Tesla insurance for model 3 is dirt cheap. Model y though… way different story.

FireCubX 2025-12-20 03:03

Acting like you know his situation 🥀

KrisAyton 2025-12-20 03:38

Enjoy the car!! Don’t listen of the negative comments they don’t know your situation. I just got my model y and it’s the best!!!

wesblog 2025-12-20 03:39

You are either a multimillionaire or making poor financial decisions.

ut4r 2025-12-20 03:55

So i have 4 cars. I would get tesla insurance for just one car? Or do they take all cars

Fstr21 2025-12-20 04:02

Dude said FINALLY...

DinoTh3Dinosaur 2025-12-20 04:21

Surprisingly?? Haha

Iamthehottestman 2025-12-20 04:22

Yea, compared to my c8. The torque packs a punch lol

BecauseBatman01 2025-12-20 04:28

Yeah I think you can insure non Teslas. But idk how good the discount is.

choicemeats 2025-12-20 05:56

does it being an suv have to do with the increased premiums? feel like M3 beiong a borderline sports car would make them jack up prices

rjcarr 2025-12-20 06:11

Right? I'm more than twice this guy's age and I've never had a new car in my life, ha.

netcloak_ 2025-12-20 06:29

Interesting because when I got mine a couple weeks ago, the Tesla insurance for my model 3 was more expensive than the current insurance company I use. Current insurance company provided more coverage too

Charming-freedom1 2025-12-20 09:14

Exactly this

namestom 2025-12-20 13:11

Same. Not quite as old but while I “could” go buy a new car, I can’t stomach the depreciation. Until I have that kind of money, I’ll drive like new cars.

408WTF 2025-12-20 14:03

Tesla insurance was around $180 when I was 21

bbwslayer99578 2025-12-20 14:10

Congrats wow this is my dream car at 22

metalandmeeples 2025-12-20 14:37

Sounds about right. It's $35/mo for me at 43 through USAA.

408WTF 2025-12-20 14:38

Dang that’s cheap, where at? I’m in California

metalandmeeples 2025-12-20 14:39

Maine.

408WTF 2025-12-20 14:40

Is that full coverage? I’m at 100k /300k /100k, which I think is a little overkill

metalandmeeples 2025-12-20 14:42

300K/500K/100K + accident forgiveness and roadside assistance. $1000 deductible, however.

408WTF 2025-12-20 14:46

Jesus, and I thought I had it good (at least for my age). I tried shopping around but all other providers quoted me $600+ as F off quotes lol. I have no tickets or at fault accidents and have been driving since 16

metalandmeeples 2025-12-20 14:48

CA is expensive. When I was 21 and going to college in MA, my insurance was over $200/mo for liability only on a shitty Dodge Stratus.

omaregb 2025-12-20 19:11

This is a terrible first car.

Subject-Hunter6946 2025-12-20 21:41

Congratulations

rwhe83 2025-12-21 04:06

That’s absolutely not true. Maybe in your area you consider it “dirt cheap” but that’s not an overall consensus. I’ll be waiting for your post when it raises $50/mo and you find it outrageous.

BecauseBatman01 2025-12-21 04:19

Bro it’s car insurance lol. It’s always going to be based on several variables. I’m just saying for the 2 years I had my model 3, I paid from $90 to $120 with Tesla. And it shot up to $300+ for the Y. How you gonna tell me that’s not true lol. Calm down buddy.

rwhe83 2025-12-21 04:20

Alright bro, all I’m suggesting is you don’t know how car insurance works. Catch you on the flip side when your policy goes up and the “I’ve changed nothing!” excuse flies out your mouth.

BecauseBatman01 2025-12-21 04:51

Well you obviously can’t read. I don’t have Tesla insurance anymore after I got my Y. Cuz the rate was crazy high. I was just sharing my rate when I had a 3. Cuz Tesla insurance was by far cheapest for that car for 2 years. You need to go touch some grass. Idk why you so aggressive for no reason lol. You must be fun at parties.

xXboxPlaysx 2025-12-21 10:25

Dude I’m 19 and it’s only $106 a month for me, I could totally get it to $80 a month with a perfect score but tesla insurance has the best rates on the market for sure

diazdiaz2018 2025-12-21 16:36

Damn and you already have a mortgage? That’s great
