Finally got my dream car 🎄🎅🏻

Jealous-Comparison64 | 2025-12-23 23:22 | 442 views

Coming from an old, beaten-up & rusted squeaking 2012 Jeep, this feels like a huge upgrade. I finally pulled the trigger on a Model 3 — first EV, first Tesla — and I couldn’t be happier. The ride is insanely smooth, the tech is wild, and the winter performance has already impressed me. Wanted one for more than a year! 🔥 I added a few personal touches to clean up the look and protect the car, but overall I’m just excited to finally be part of the Tesla community. Happy holidays everyone ⚡️🎄

The black looks so fantastic! (I wish I had the guts to go for it) You’re gonna love every drive!

Black looks so freaking good… which config did you get?

Jealous-Comparison64 2025-12-24 02:41

Thanks everyone 🤩

Got the RWD, it was the only one with a subvention here and I got the best winter tires

Love it and the tinted windows make it look even better. Hopefully you don’t get a ticket for them like I did 🥲

at least you’re used to the squeaking…

AWD? What do you like about the winter performance?

I bought mine in December 2019 and have had no real problems and it's been the best car that I've ever owned. Even after 6 years it still puts a smile on my face when I'm driving it. I've paid almost nothing in maintenance, just air filter changes, tire rotations, a 12v battery and wiper blades. For the 12v battery, the car told me to replace it, that's pretty cool in itself.

The diamond black looks stunning and really completes the look! If I could go back I definitely would of picked that over stealth grey

Great Choice!! Enjoy it! I love my M3 👊🧑‍🎄🎄

Now all you have do is move to a dream climate where it doesn't snow. 🤣

The black does look fantastic, for about 10 minutes. Then it collects dust and dirt like no other lol, not to mention that scratches show up way worse. It damn sure looks the best all shined up but idk if I'd ever get the black diamond paint again. My OCD is not happy with it haha. Eta. Btw OP, congratulations!

Semi_Retired_001 2025-12-24 12:40

100% agreed! Your head says no, your heart says hell yes!!

First-Guide 2025-12-24 12:42

Lol

Jealous-Comparison64 2025-12-24 13:01

Yeah that’s why I’ve put a stek black gloss ppf with nano-ceramic so it’s stays always clean and shiny

Jealous-Comparison64 2025-12-24 13:01

EV incentive

Jealous-Comparison64 2025-12-24 13:02

Hahaha 😭😂😂😂

Jealous-Comparison64 2025-12-24 13:03

😂😂😂😂

First-Guide 2025-12-24 13:03

Nice, that's the best way to do it! I recently got mine Graphine/ceramic coated and wish I would've just saved up for ppf. Maybe I'll do that down the line.

Mexkan 2025-12-24 16:40

Just picked up my first one. 2023 performance 3, black exterior white interior. Absolutely love it. Black is hard to keep looking good though. I need to find a good coating for it.

FLYOLADude 2025-12-24 20:03

Congratulations

I love my car, I can't give it up. I still want to buy a weekend gas car like a m series, but there's no way I'm selling my car to get it. Haha

leviveladia 2025-12-28 06:02

are you using snow tires? or is that the stock tires? im getting one tomorrow with stock but im not sure if I can drive it home if it snows

Jealous-Comparison64 2025-12-28 17:07

When I went to get it there was a big snowstorm so I bought tires and bringed them over and told them put them on! I bought continental viking 8 they are really incredible!!
