I really really like the car. Want it bad. Just having a difficulty time justifying the purchase.
Assuming I get the model 3 LR I have 2 options
1. $520/month for 3 year lease. No down. 10k mileage per year but I drive usually 20k miles a year
2. Purchase used one with low mileage outright. 38k for under 10k miles.
Only thing that goes against boglehead principle is that it
1) $350-450 in monthly insurance. It negates the gas saving vs ICE car.
2) High depreciation
3) Expensive to repair
Should I just pull the trigger? I drove bogleheads recommended cars like Rav4, Highlander, CRV and Pilot but they drive like a boat and most importantly, the autopilot feature is horrible. It cant keep the car in lane. I need this bad as I drive long distance often.
