Why I cancelled my Tesla order & what I got instead

So I’ve cancelled my Tesla Model Y order. I took the $450 penalty for cancelling on the chin and am instead driving another brand of electric car now. I’ll run through why I did it and what I’m driving instead.

Why I cancelled the car I was buying when Ford gave me a long-term loaner for free

[desmondlesetedi]

Here, let me save you the time; he got a long term Mach E Mustang as a loaner from Ford.

Bullish or bearish, AI stocks will still dominate 2024, even beyond. Why I prefer NVIDIA is that they are better placed to maintain long-term growth potential, and provide a platform for other AI companies. I know someone who has made more than 200% from NVIDIA. I'll also take these other recommendations you made.

A free car is easier to live with than any car.

Paul is waiting for the new Model Y. 6 months with Mach E for free... Well played

[jacksonfraser]

A general video on novated leases would be super useful!

[tonytan]

As a car reviewer it’s important to be completely unbiased and unfortunately this comes across like your opinion (and a few strange jabs at Tesla) was bought by ford with a free long term loaner. Just doesn’t pass the pub test IMHO. I do respect that you came out and mentioned this though, as you could have easily kept silent about (or did Ford insist you say something as part of their marketing strategy?).

Owning means you are paying for it. Not just driving it

[khezr]

I cancelled it last year after they postponed my order 3 times and I got fed up with waiting. In a greater scheme of things it was a good decision because then they dropped prices!

Bought a Mach e rwd in May 2023, sold it august 2024, horrible ride, nz ford service awful, resale value gone, I’m glad it’s moved on

[BB-qpxo]

‘Why I chose to drive a free car’. HAHA. Dodgy.

[bradelz]

Naming this video "Why I'm not paying for a car" doesn't really get the clicks, hey Paul?

[mddah]

TBH by the end of that video I had no idea why you changed. If the simple explanation is that you are a car reviewer and need to sample a variety of EVs then fine. Thats your job. But as a personal choice the base Model Y is cheaper, more efficient and has more room than the Mach E. Add to that the the Tesla charging network and its a simple decision. I guess thats why I see the Model Y everywhere (3 on my street) but rarely see a Mach E.

Keen on understanding a little on the Do's and Dont's on leases 👍

Why I cancelled my Tesla order & what I borrowed instead - Fixed the title for you

[Cybernetic_Systems]

Any chance you'll be taking a look at the new Xpeng G6 and G9 when they land? They look surprisingly decent, and from what I've seen, they are a cut above the BYD cars on several levels.

[nigsvan]

I've unsubscribed from Doug cos of his dishonesty. Just be honest, you are sponsored by Ford. We have noticed since your Raptor purchase.

[justinseau]

The scheduling feature is available for Tesla since start of September. You can have even more granular control using Charge HQ for free. You can pay for solar tracking if you need it.

[longdongjohn]

I hated the Speedo in the middle in my ex's Yaris. Why would I suddenly like it in any other car?

[jaysonraffe]

I've had a model 3 for 5 years, and have cancelled my cyber truck order. Have just ordered the byd shark. All the benefits of ev, but won't have to wait to charge during long road trips/long weekends.
