Everyone who bought Tesla stock: "Yes"

[rigopatino]

IMO, everyone should buy a Tesla


....since I’m a Tesla stockholder

Dave says the louder the muffler the better, this man then tells him he wants a silent car 😂

[SnowbirdSteeze]

Been watching Dave for years. Instead of buying a Tesla in Nov 2019, I put that money into TSLA.... that investment has allowed me to buy a house and the car, cash

[BlueHazeYota]

Dave: Vroom, vroom
Caller: It’s a Tesla
Dave: (his face expression)
😂😂😂

I've had my Model 3 for 2 years now. Paid $50k for it and it values at $45k today, they hold value really well and I get free software updates which give me every brand new feature the most current version. I begrudgingly bought brand new and now have zero regret.

[Shiroyashasama]

Imagine if he put that 50k into a Tesla stock instead

[stefan]

The 2012 Tesla’s still sell from 30-40k.

Nothing is more wholesome than using a Tesla stock to afford a Tesla.I'm doing the same😊😊

[JB-kxbx]

Lol I love how Dave prefaces with loud engines and the guy wants a Tesla.

The depreciation curve on a new Tesla is a lot lower than a regular car fwiw. Since they're still supply limited sometimes you may not even take a hit in the first year.

I'm a huge Tesla fan, and shareholder. That said, some people go a bit overboard on the theoretical math of Tesla ownership vs traditional gas vehicles to justify the much higher spend. Would take many, many years to break even on gas savings if you're comparing a Model 3 to a higher trim conventional (non-luxury) sedan.

And yes, fewer moving parts on a Tesla for issues to come up. But issues still come up on the parts that they have, and it's typically marketed as if all other vehicles have constant failures all the time, which is typically not the case, especially w/ certain brands.

Dave thinking that there is a used Model 3 for 30K :O

As a tesla owner, Buying a used tesla vs a new has some drawbacks. The older ones have more issues that Tesla had to work out over the years that are not existent or less common in the newer models. And the newer the Tesla the longer the hardware will be able to handle all the new software updates you will get overtime. I personally would not suggest buying a tesla older than 2019 year. Teslas are also an exception to the depreciation rule. They do lose value, but much less in comparison to ICE cars.

[Adz.M]

Model 3’s don’t depreciate much, so for many people buying a new one is a better option than buying used.

[HALdmh]

They should probably learn a little more about Tesla.

[brittneymarkey]

You're killing me Dave. Somebody let this guy borrow your tesla for a day already.

[PSDamon]

his voice sounds like a teenager i was surprised when he said he was 32

[SeanRIbrahim]

Tesla’s don’t lose half as much value as other vehicles when bought new.
