You’ll probably be more excited everytime you get in the Tesla. I’ve had a 5.0l Mustang and got rid.

Sagun1 2026-01-27 22:03

Should’ve gotten it a few months ago

I’ve only ever had Audis and VWs, some really nice ones. But no other car yields me the genuine excitement even months after getting my M3, than this car. They really do have something about them. Very easy to fall in love with them. Everything else, even big engine loud cars, seem boring.

ahvex 2026-01-27 22:18

Hope you get new FSD 4.5 chip

Welcome to the cool club 😁

MT_Goat_ 2026-01-27 23:04

Its just a car. I think he will be very pleased with it. I love mine :)

dnguyen823 2026-01-27 23:12

1k on gold card? How much of a down payment can you put on a cc? Would be nice to get a bunch of points.

ahvex 2026-01-27 23:16

haven’t tried it yet i did the down payment thru the app that’s just the delivery fee cause im in louisiana

Weekly_Accountant_33 2026-01-27 23:46

Thought it would be Model Y only these days?

dr3zga 2026-01-27 23:49

Congrats, at least you’ll get front bumper camera unlike rest of us 😅

Adorable-Software-69 2026-01-27 23:57

What color?????

ahvex 2026-01-28 00:10

i got all black!

Sagun1 2026-01-28 00:24

Yes but the brother would’ve saved $7500 and would’ve had autopilot. Have they removed that yet or no?

That_Turnover2850 2026-01-28 00:24

BITCHIN!!!!!!

rjcarr 2026-01-28 00:30

Congrats! Just curious, how much maintenance money did you pump into that old Mustang?

ahvex 2026-01-28 00:30

thanks!

Duh_Vaping 2026-01-28 00:32

Sweet! Congrats!!

ahvex 2026-01-28 00:35

thank you! not much at all honestly , i’ll say about $5k-$10k i took really good care of it but i couldn’t underestimating the price cause i wouldn’t remember lol had it for 10 years

ahvex 2026-01-28 00:35

thank you!

lanamakesart 2026-01-28 01:16

which trim? best car ive ever had, it will feel like the first drive ever every time u get in

ahvex 2026-01-28 01:20

that’s true but i don’t mind it honestly , i didnt have any plans on getting a Tesla at all, i was going to run my car to the ground but decided to get it without what you said in mind

goodvibezone 2026-01-28 01:21

Did you order it while on hold for 2 hours?

How_To_Thrive 2026-01-28 01:23

Don’t be mean. We all have our reasons whether personal, financial, or other. No shaming here just support! 😎

ahvex 2026-01-28 01:26

i got the RWD, since i don’t really go anywhere much and i live in a small town and i cant wait ! when i go to cali and rent some here and there, i loved it so much

ahvex 2026-01-28 02:34

lol nah i was otp with my girl

blonktime 2026-01-28 02:57

I came from a 4.6L 5 speed mustang. Tesla is a different fun, but overall a much more enjoyable and fun car

CaliDude75 2026-01-28 03:53

Still love my 2019 SR+. Enjoy!

Tradetheday2093 2026-01-28 04:09

So it’s going to avoid 50% more potholes?

Informal-Support4129 2026-01-28 05:02

Just got my model 3 on sunday fell in love driving it back home, enjoy!

Odd_Comfortable_1945 2026-01-28 06:12

Congrats! You'll love it. I still love my ICE vehicles for a different purpose, but have become extremely spoiled by what Tesla brings to the table for commuting/QoL.

NoMansWarmApplePie 2026-01-28 07:19

Dude, similar boat. 2012 mustang breaking apart. I got lucky, car was considered total loss and I got a lump some of cash for downpayment I found a beautiful 2023 model 3. Haven't had new car feeling in so long!! Enjoy

BayAreaDad-22 2026-01-28 07:20

Just ordered mine today too!

scoostraw 2026-01-28 12:58

Congrats man. If you think you're excited now, wait until you start driving it every day.

scoostraw 2026-01-28 13:00

WhaleDonation7 2026-01-28 13:10

I was looking at the lease prices right now , Jesus I’m glad I got one during the tax credit I probably couldn’t afford it now with how much insurance is and FsD sub

ahvex 2026-01-28 13:11

congrats man!! and i can’t wait to get it

ahvex 2026-01-28 13:11

😁

ahvex 2026-01-28 13:12

ahvex 2026-01-28 13:12

congrats!

ahvex 2026-01-28 13:12

i know man i’ve been renting it everytime i go on vacay and i just love it . can’t wait

ahvex 2026-01-28 13:13

i agree. i got it free for one month and my girl going to get me a FSD gift card for another month , 3rd month im on my own 🤣

WhaleDonation7 2026-01-28 13:26

I don’t know how the prices jacked up so much it’s crazy it costs like 250 more monthly for the same spec vehicle I got now

Bluuzzy 2026-01-28 15:58

250 more, what? Current lease prices are 350, no?

NoMansWarmApplePie 2026-01-28 19:05

Takes a bit to get used to the new braking but becomes second nature fast

ivanxm2270 2026-01-28 20:18

Yes missing the tax credit but I also just ordered a model y today and the guys at the Tesla dealer said they are removing starting in March so as long as you place your orders before then your good! I test drove multiple cars today and they all had autopilot/autosteer. My particular option just wasn’t on the lot.

Enjoy_The_Ride413 2026-01-28 21:33

Welcome! You should be! You'll have a hard time wiping the smile off your face once behind the wheel.

ignite1hp 2026-01-29 01:36

Congrats, now you don't have to worry about hitting a crowd of people! Sorry to hear you don't get auto pilot though =/

pillowmite 2026-01-29 01:38

Don't ask me why I got rid of my 1989 Mercedes SL560 ... I'll shock you

Tiny_Junket_358 2026-01-29 03:12

Wasn't that only on newer models? So if OP bought a used one, then they should have it.

ahvex 2026-01-30 21:50

🤣 yeah ik sucks at least one free month fsd

ahvex 2026-01-30 21:50

looks nice!! and thank you

Key-Pomegranate-3507 2026-01-30 23:11

I’m late to the party but I have a question. I recently started a new job that’s 60 miles round trip 5 days a week. It’s costing me about $15 a day in gas just to drive there. Is a used model 3 a good idea? I don’t know much about EV’s. I live in a cold area and I’ve been told that the 2021+ are much better suited to the climate due to a better heating system. How many miles can I expect before the battery degradation becomes an issue?

ahvex 2026-01-30 23:16

what happened?

pillowmite 2026-01-31 17:03

I found out there's nothing more expensive than an old Mercedes! Thousands and thousands of dollars every year it becomes a race.

pertjo 2026-01-31 19:30

I came fram a 5L mustang GT, loved the sound and miss it so much, would switch back in a heart beat. Now I have a M3P 2025.

Mint161662025 2026-02-02 08:28

Ughhh I can’t wait to clear my debt and buy a m3p❤️ lol
