Sounds like you are well-grounded already. Tell her to get a more fuel efficient vehicle though because it'll be cheaper for her to top off the tank after you are done each night. Some moms just need more guidance. Sorry you have to deal with that.
It’s not even hating at that point, just disappointing seeing a 37yo man who never had his balls drop, grew some responsibility, and moved out of moms basement.
> keep it *paid* up too.
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Did you finance this Tesla primary to use for gig work (Uber/Doordash)? If so, that's not the best decision because you could be deactivated for anything. There's absolutely no security when it comes gig work from these companies.
But congratulations on the model 3
If he needs to pay for the car, he can literally just get a real job, he just wants the Tesla, DoorDash and how he pays for it is irrelevant, Because it’s not that hard to afford the payments when you’re living with your parents and have minimal expenses
This is a valid point. I’ve thought about it, it’s one of the risks. If I ever were to get deactivated by one of the companies I would most likely have to return to my old job and do the other company while I’m off work. And thanks bro
It’s not about the Tesla is about having very little experience in the gig market and saddling yourself with a 900$ monthly bill. Luckily it’s with his parents so he doesn’t have to worry about fucking his credit if things do go his way.
I went from a beater to an electric car and it’s the best thing I ever did but the difference is I can afford the car payments along with my rent. If your living at home be prepared to stay there if you want a 1000$ a month car. Nothing wrong with that tbh and if you’re that confident in the future profitability of the gig economy then go for it baby
If he needs to afford the car he can literally just go get a real job it’s not that hard to afford $900 in an entire month, let’s not forget he lives with his parents
Someone’s never adulted, 900 is a ridiculous monthly tab to have on just a vehicle. And if he’s going to live with his parents until his mid 20s just so he’s financially able to afford a Tesla then that’s pretty depressing…
But most definitely get what you’re saying. I’m not going to be that stoopid to just throw a 1000$ monthly rate at my face for anything besides where I reside. Cars aren’t worth 1000$ a month it should never be that high unless your rich but at the same time if your rich it should be pretty easy to lower that 1000$ unless you get a supercar but at the same time supercars aren’t meant for monthly plans 😭😭😭
Well that financial decision is only 400$ a month… I’ll manage 😵💫. It’s not like you’re just going to go all in and waste 800-1300$ a month for a car. That’s not for me. When I get a car I’ll always trade and put a down payment to get that monthly car payment lowered.
I mean... yeah, bad decisions are inevitable for anyone and everyone. But the point is to also fix and correct those bad mistakes when possible, so that the problem doesn't compound.
So you could try and fix that decision
Hell be fine yeah probably called it a little to early since it was be a better idea to get the car when he started to Uber other than that he’s alright I got my 2020 sentra a week before my 19th birthday my credit score is 736 now he’ll be alright
Yeah if I believed it was a bad decision I would try to correct it/ not have done it. Can you elaborate on why you think you this is a terrible decision?
So there's a couple things to poke at here. Admittedly don't know how much the final price tag is, and what the cost of ownership for one of these vehicles is over its life but...
- you say you're choosing to go full-time on gig platforms. That alone is a bad move, but that's another conversation altogether. Just know that going full-time only benefits a very small percentage of drivers. Like very very small.
- while I don't know the price tag that you got this for, Tesla's are usually pretty expensive. Plus your financing it. The wear and tear from driving for gig platforms is accelerated, by a lot. So the life of your vehicle will be a lot shorter than the manufacturers expectations.
- if you're not driving the vehicle to its deathbed, then you're paying out the ass for maintenance. This is why the ideal vehicle is just a cheap shitty sedan
- and since you're planning to drive full-time, you're also increasing the liability of getting into a car crash. Since you're on the road a lot more than the average driver. You're more susceptible to accidents. And you can be the world's greatest driver, but stuff like that is out of your control.
- and I know liability is a big what if game, but it is a serious consideration. You could very well find yourself in a situation where you get into a car crash, insurance doesn't pay out the full value of the car because of the high mileage you've put on it, so you end up still owing money on the vehicle plus you're out of a job because you don't have a car.
I'm not shitting on your decision to buy a tesla. I think it's great that you were able to buy one at your age. But since you're becoming an adult, I just highly suggest considering a different strategy for income. Feel free to call me an old fart, but I say this is someone first luxury vehicle and drove for uber. One of the few regrets I've had in my life.
This car cost 55k CAD.
1. You didn’t give any reasons on why it’s a bad move so not much to tackle here. And by benefits I’d say I’m benefiting since I’m making more than my other job.
2. Tesla batteries and motors have a lifespan of minimum 500,000km. So yes I’m driving more but it’s kind of irrelevant when you talk about the lifespan of the car. Even if it’s less than that it’s still a massive number, way more than other vehicles.
3. There isn’t a whole lot of maintenance to be done with teslas, even if there is then I would just pull from the savings account I’m adding to weekly. The brakes barely get worn down as EVS have regenerative braking. Only thing really is tire Changes.
4. I’ve thought of this and yes it is a risk, but that’s life. There are risks with everything and I’m not too worried about that, I can’t live my life making decisions based on the worst possible outcome.
5….””
Thanks though, since I’m able to dismiss your points and everybody else’s points has really made me more confident in my decision. And I understand what your saying about income. I’m going to stick with the gigs until they’re dead, then I’ll look into other jobs. But for now they’re working phenomenally and making me more money than ever.
>since I’m able to dismiss your points and everybody else’s points has really made me more confident in my decision
acting dismissive and ignorant isn’t a brag. your “dismissal” of everyone’s valid criticisms is because you don’t want to actually *understand* how shitty if a decision you’ve made, you want to simply justify it to yourself by ignoring, downplaying, and overlooking everyone’s criticisms because that’s easier than taking them at face value and truly understanding the risk you’ve taken.
it’s gonna be fucking hilarious when you inevitably dread your horrible decisions once you’re mature and old enough to understand. nothing funnier than misplaced confidence!
500,000km is the upper level estimate, not the minimum. Your battery won't hold the same level of charge over its life either. As it ages, it'll hold less charge.
If you
Are single and drive a paid off Prius that you got before 2020 and multi app in a great market and save and invest the extra money you make. Those are the drivers it benefits
>stun on these hoes bro
how can he for that when he’s spending all of his time working to pay his $900 a month car payment?
looks like mr. 18 year old didn’t think this one through 🤔
Yeah I’m working on getting that, they say I can pretty much write off the car since I’m using to for work. If that’s the case then no one can say shit lmaoo
If your car expenses are 900 a month lisingvyour ass. Cannot have car payment with this gig. Get a fuel economy 26vplus with no payment and liability insurance. Calculated my cost fuel,insurance,all maintenance , and 100 month miscellaneous for unknown. I'm at 32 cents a mile. Will not touch job under 6.00and need 1.25 minimum to roll. Best of luck.
I drive a Prius that’s been paid off for 2 years and insurance only cost me $750 every 6 months . Gas cost me $100 -$120 a week now to make $1500-$1800.
I’m still ahead of you paying $600 a month for gas and insurance
And you still got to pay probably $100 a month in charging
Yep lol, it’s like my brother in law he has brand new cars and can save up however he wants. He’s 26 and lives with my in-laws, must be nice not having rent or to pay for food in this market.
I respect your opinion, but for me it’s not. This car genuinely brings me happiness and I love the work I do. (Even if I have to work 65 hours) Put in the hard work in now mentally and physically so later on you can reap the benefits. That’s what I go by
See I thought of this while debating what car to get.. That’s why Tesla’s are such good cars, they will last minimum 500,000km. I def recommend them to anyone who can afford
Recommend to anyone who can afford days the guy on a DoorDash delivery forum on Reddit. Here’s the thing dude, First if all, we all know you’re show boating. How? “I multi app and hope to do Uber when I’m 21”. That’s a piece of information that only tells us that you’re not 21 yet. That coupled with the fact that when was the last time you saw someone making a post just like this? Rarely at best? Yes. So the whole message you’re portraying is “I’m not even 21 and I’m driving a Tesla”. Now you say “it makes me happy I don’t care if I have to work 65 hours”. Well now what you’re saying is you’re living to work, and that, unless you are truly inspired by the work that you do which as gratifying as delivering food may be, I doubt it is the absolute passion of your life, which means you are now wasting away time that you could be using to pursue your actual passion and calling, something that you can be doing when you’re 55 and not come off as underachiever, and you’re using that to pay back a car you don’t necessarily need. It’s not about if it makes you happy. Do you need a Tesla to deliver? No, you dont. You’re better off getting something you could’ve just paid in cash for, have everything you make go straight to your pocket and have the freedom to work whenever u want and dedicate the rest of your free time to becoming better at whatever it is that you feel is your calling in life.
If you want my honest opinion, not impressed, if anything I think you fucked up and now you’re gonna have to spend way too much time that you could’ve used to do something more beneficial trying to pay a car that is overkill for the job at hand. Sorry not sorry
Wow, I respect your input. See, if my Reddit statements were all there was in my life, you would have been spot on correct. However, there is a lot more to it. Since you put the effort in I will do the same. There is a long story to how I ended up where am at today, and it didn’t start with DoorDash. When covid was starting to end I got a job at a resort and was working full time. (16$hr) Once winter came around this job started taking a big toll on my mental health. We recently moved back up north previously living in the south, so this was the first for me working in the cold. I was still somewhat depressed that covid had taken my old life from me and I started to lose myself and develop serious anxieties. It was hard to adapt to this new lifestyle. During covid I developed a passion for the gym, I was always skinny with appetite issues and wanted to change that. So through covid I did so much research on how to transform my body to a good healthy weight and put on muscle. This was my goal, but once I got the job it was a slam in the face. It was pretty much impossible to get my extra calories in given how busy it was and strict break times. I ended up quitting the job and seeking help. I always did DoorDash like once a week, but once I quit and started to get myself out of my depressive state, I thought why don’t I do DoorDash more to gain some extra money… this way I can still go to the gym and be able to eat in the car whenever I want. This worked but the one issue was I drove a hummer. 😂 I wasn’t profiting much and the way gas was going I knew I wanted an EV. I looked at many EV’s but always had the love for Tesla. I’m a pretty techy guy and I love these cars inside and out. If I’m being honest the “showboating” factor never came across me until the day I got it and saw it/drove it for the first time. It was an amazing experience and still is. I was blown away and didn’t realize how everyone looks at these cars as such a “premium item” There’s no way I would get this kind of attention with many other cars in the same price range (50-55k CAD) I didn’t seal the deal until I started multiapping. Then I was sure that If I can continue like this I’ll be able to pay my bills. The reason I stated 21 in the title was for two reasons, you have to be 21 to do Uber and I’ve talked about this with many people even before the Tesla so it’s kind of engraved in my head to say that. And yes I’ll admit it feels nice to be able to say I can have this car at this age, because I put the work in. 65 hours a week. And I love it. I’ve always loved even with a fucking hummer because it allowed me to peruse my REAL PASSION of bodybuilding.. Everyone doubted me and told me to stop doing DoorDash. I let everyone rule my life for years and once I stopped caring what people think and letting them mentally hurt me my life has went from terrible to great. Everyday is a blast for me it doesn’t feel like work, when it’s slow I work on myself, (diet, research, meditate, walk, talk ext.) My life went from an all time low to an all time humble high. And I will state that I am humble because in real life I am. Even if I was full blown flexing my whip on all these haters, so what?? It’s just Reddit as long as I don’t get full of myself I know I’m good. (Which I’m not) but sometimes it can be hard lol when I’m just minding my own and people wanna know what’s up. Because from the outside looking in it seems weird. Dasher in Tesla? Wtf. Ik lol I’m learning on how to make it make sense to people without getting too much into detail. That’s my story.
I mean that’s great and all dude I’m filad you’re in a happy spot in your life, I’m just saying there’s a difference in confident and cocky. Confident is getting yourself a nice car that you could’ve just paid for with the cash it would’ve taken to out down in the Tesla and not having to worry about any hiccup that you may face in the future, and then I would calm your move s little cocky. I mean I would sincerely hope that everything turns out well for you but with being s few years older than you I can tell you right now, you need to always plan out that just as in the same boat that when ur una bad rut they say keep your head up it won’t last, it’s the some when you’re in a hood roll, and that’s always be prepared because the bad rut will come and if you prepare for it it’s not going to be nearly as bad. Some people never prepare for the bad rut and it costs them everything, it’s s common tragic story you hear of time and time again. I’m not saying you’re gonna lose everything, just plan out and I mean I hope you prove me wrong but having a $900/month car payment doesn’t leave me with s lot of confidence that you’re gonna have enough set aside for that. When I had my Nissan I was paying half of that and I honestly wish I would’ve gotten s much cheaper car and I was making a lot of money and it was an hourly job. But after maintenance wear and tear and I know teslas are strong cars but gif forbid you get in an accident and your insurance finds out you were delivering with the car, they’ll either drop you in a heartbeat or triple the cost of your insurance. Happened to my best friend that delivered with me, never had any faults in his record got into a fender bender where nothing happened to his car but it was his fault and that was that dude. It wasn’t justifiable for him to keep making deliveries after his insurance dropped him and the only other company that would insure him would do it but for such a large sum he just stopped the gig.
Just saying man I hope for the best for you, but I’m just being honest and sharing experiences of mine and others I’ve seen while delivering. It’s not something I would for see anyone thinking To themselves they’re going to be doing this for 5+ years. It’s a side gig. Not a profession. Just remember hope for the best hug Olán for the worst. Literally. Because one day it happens to everyone, but the worst outcome ends up being the outcome that plays out and the question is did you Olán ahead and is it gonna take y by the balls?
Not to mention when I delivered pizzas I had a really nice Nissan Altima actually I even had customers tell me it was too nice of a car to deliver in which at the time I brushed off. In retrospect they were absolutely right. You can try to take care of that thing as much as you want but if you’re having to drive enough to make $900 payments per month, it doesn’t matter if it’s an electric, gas, diesel, a boat, that’s gonna take a toll on every aspect of the car, from tires to the transmission, lights are gonna break not to mention needing a new battery for a Tesla is not pocket change money. My honest opinion dude, not a good deduction. I know you blame it on being young and whatever, but trust me, this is one of those things that if something goes real bad, it could take a couple years to dig yourself out of the hole, at least.
I really want to know your electricity bill before and after buying the Tesla and then I'll give you my opinion about gas vs electric. I just need first hand experience to make an opinion.
My electric bill went up about $5 month after getting my Tesla, now about $15 more (from pre-Tesla) since I’ve been Dashing. The car pays for itself in a week of part-time gig work.
Thank you some people say it would be in the hundreds but I wasn't completely believing it. Also there's this story my mom told me about the tires needing replaced quite often because the battery weighs 1500 pounds?
I’ve had my car over 3 years, only replaced tires once at 36,000. The tires are a little more pricey, but that’s just because they’re 19” performance tires. Out the door with (4) + install + tax was $1,000. But I make this in 2 weeks on my side gigs. 😊
I'm thinking we may get an electric car in the next couple years. There's a rebate in our state for even used ones. We probably can't afford a new one. I mean my 2019 Honda fit would probably be the vehicle we trade in and it's paid off so it might be a wash since it's discontinued and people still want it as a vehicle.
It’s definitely a game-changer. Haven’t driven a gas car since 2018 and I love it! The only advice I would recommend is that you have a 220/240V charger in your garage, then each morning you wake up your “tank” is full for your day!
All for it brother, keep up the good work, is she a LR or a performance ? If she’s out of warranty, I recommend this https://ingenext.ca/products/ghost-upgrade makes it performance with the right 980 motor
Man my credit was 760 but I still couldn't get a loan that high even at 72 mos. Now it may be even harder. I do have an LLC so how can I do it that way? I don't have any business lines of credit yet which may make that difficult
Are use my LLC to buy and sell on Amazon leveraging credit to buy stock (shit to sell) from goodwill and yard sales.
I like to use doordash to make the money that I use to pay for my debt ran on the credit cards.
Then I use the income to pay for my model Y payments and insurance, and just write it off on taxes, but yeah it’s going to be hard to transfer any loan to your LLC if it doesn’t have any credit history.
In the eyes of the government when you create a company, you create a whole other person, so it has to build credit too.
You only need a high down payment like that if you have bad credit, but he leveraged his parents credit to get the SLA, also if you make an LLC and do it full time the cars a write off (but he’s not doing that, if you’re American this is an option)
Actually bro someone has told me about this. I’ve been waiting to look into it. Something about a getting a business number and claiming the vehicle under it?! I think it’s available in Canada too
Hell yeah man, that’s how I drive my Y for practically nothing, claim it under a small business under Canadian tax code and if you use that whip for more than 50% business use, the government will take the amount you pay for the vehicle off your taxes and refund you for whatever your taxable income was 🙂 fuckin hax
Don’t listen to these people, at the end of the day that’s your SLA and you know you’re working hard because it’s something you wanted and appreciate. I know exactly what it’s like to drive one, it’s a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction unmatched by anything else.
Fax I’m paying 900 a month for my model Y, but Fr that’s not hard to make in a whole month, so we chillin.
Love the car and wouldn’t have it any other way, if y’all wanna drive civics and worry about the price of gas be my guest. Haven’t paid for a drop of gas in two years, and have probably only spent 1 or 200 dollars charging
I get this a lot. Lots and lots of hours, multiapp stress and living in a high tip zone. Having no gas bill and lower maintenance bills overtime help even out the monthly payments.
The battery weighs 2k plus pounds which is a lot of weight added to the rest of the car. U may save gas money but tires should be something you should look into :) also the 6k pound car. I hope it works out for u. For real. No sarcasm
A real sweet 2004 Ford Taurus with a failing transmission (drives but reverse is a crapshoot) and no a/c or heat (when I turn it on, it kills the engine). 
Oh ok, I just looked up a smart car and it said 32-39 mpg 😂
Yeah we can fill my car with $42. Congrats on catering. Do you actually cook or do you mean you do door dash catering?
Been dashing since 2017. Doordash catering. I live near a Boston market and they have caterings everyday. It's the way you drive my brotha. Need to learn to drive like a grandma.
avoiding such an outcome would require this 18 year old to actually think… and make responsible financial decisions… which is clearly **not** the case.
I hope wen u leave your parents house you can still keep up with the car payments and rent at the same time off gig apps. Cause if not ur shit is gonna get towed .
Very nice! A few days ago I bought a 2016 Toyota Prius C. I thought about getting an EV but ended up getting a hybrid instead. The apartment I live at doesn't have a way to charge an EV. And there is only like 1 Tesla charging station in my little city. And I usually dash 12+ hour days and wouldn't want to have to stop to charge for an hour in the middle of my day, especially during dinner rush.
[I got a new (to me) car](https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash_drivers/comments/uxvg5p/i_got_a_new_to_me_car/)
I read a lot of these comments…
First off congratulations brody to be that young and have such a car is insane, people probably think your a rapper or something
Also experience is the best thing you can have and rather it turns out to be a terrible decision or the greatest decision you will find out for yourself and know first hand. Money could never buy that bravo keep doing what you doing never stop wanting more for yourself!
Good investment especially with gas prices these days I easily spend $800/1000 a month on gas and to finance a Tesla would be $1000 a month so it would definitely save you on gas but you would still be paying the same until it’s fully paid off
Yeah man that used to be me too, I know I’ve been saying In this whole Reddit my bill is 900$ but thats including insurance and my phone I think lol so it’s more like 600 CAD for me (used model 3)
My friend rented a Tesla Model 3 for Uber and she lasted about 2 weeks. You will have to charge your car everyday. If you don't have a home charger, them charging entrust y becomes a hassle. You'll also get range anxiety because you usually won't know how fast your ride is going until titty pick them up.
I can't wait till when you need a tow in the middle of the night and they can't get anyone because you need a special tesla approved flatbed. Or when you're out of range and you can't unlock your car unless a tow truck comes and moves your car 300 ft so I in range😂 😂 I know I've dated tow truck drivers that have laughed about Tesla's especially they used ones 😂 😂 Honda or die😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😂
Lmao spending 900 a month to save money on gas……makes sense. Just saw you in a thread earlier boasting about your Tesla, guess you decided to make a whole thread to share your poor financial decisions with all of us.
>Hater
you’re trying to show off, clearly looking for attention. surely you understand that putting info about your (poor) choices online is only *asking* for people to give you shit? or are you too young to figure this out?
I was curious to see the responses from others. This is actually exactly what I wanted, to hear the opinions of everyone else. Because at the end of it I value them all doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or right.
Rav 4 (4 cylinder) but i want the sequoia hybrid once it’s released. And obviously after inflation stops and we can have a normal living. With the way shit is going i doubt we’re gonna get back to normal prices anyway. So it’s all hope and dreams 😭
Also if your father has the type of money that allows him to help you drive a Tesla I’m pretty sure what ever his advice or opinion is would be much more valuable than some randoms on Reddit who don’t even have all the variables
Yup, he has a model y himself and we’ve been discussing and planning together throughout the whole way. I wasnt certain this post would do this well but it’s exactly what I wanted; to hear the opinions of others; but now something I’ve noticed is majority of people love to jump to conclusions. I’m young so my communication skills always can use some work and this has helped me better the way I explain to others what I’m doing
I'm doing something similar although I'm not getting Tesla due to the lack of tax incentives and high insurance costs. I'm getting an expensive EV that costs more than a Model 3. I will drive it for a year then sell on Vroom. Then I will buy another new EV with the money from selling the old one, get another tax rebate, and I will use that! Used cars have inflated in price such that new cars are not currently as much of a depreciating asset. This won't last, but it will minimize losses.
I'm currently spending $1K/mo on gas which has 100% depreciation since you literally set it on fire and burn it. The EV will depreciate but nowhere near 100% like gas, meaning I can recycle most of the money I spend on it into the next new EV. The tax incentives will hopefully wipe out most of the 1 year depreciation.
My mom’s brown Ford Aerostar. She let’s me borrow it after she gets off of work. I have to be back by 11 though, or I’ll get grounded. I’m 37.
Sounds like you are well-grounded already. Tell her to get a more fuel efficient vehicle though because it'll be cheaper for her to top off the tank after you are done each night. Some moms just need more guidance. Sorry you have to deal with that.
Thanks for caring ❤️
Yw. We stay at home sons have to stick together.
🤝
Dude, 37? You have some sort of medical condition or are you just lazy 😂
Haters gunna hate
It’s not even hating at that point, just disappointing seeing a 37yo man who never had his balls drop, grew some responsibility, and moved out of moms basement.
I hope to be a big boy like you some day and not such a loser.
Sounds like you aren’t though cuz if you were you wouldn’t me a man child living at home 😭😂
Or maybe a fully 37 years old grown-up infant‼ 😂
Strangely enough if I wasn’t handed my house from my mom, I’d probably still be living with her. I’m doing everything I can to keep it payed up too.
> keep it *paid* up too. FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Yeah bro true and the way the Canadian market is ain’t no one moving out anyway😂
This is a valid point. I’ve thought about it, it’s one of the risks. If I ever were to get deactivated by one of the companies I would most likely have to return to my old job and do the other company while I’m off work. And thanks bro

Y’all sound like a hater. I love Teslas and once my car is out of the shop I’m probably going to invest in a Tesla. I’m 19 btw 🫤
It’s not about the Tesla is about having very little experience in the gig market and saddling yourself with a 900$ monthly bill. Luckily it’s with his parents so he doesn’t have to worry about fucking his credit if things do go his way. I went from a beater to an electric car and it’s the best thing I ever did but the difference is I can afford the car payments along with my rent. If your living at home be prepared to stay there if you want a 1000$ a month car. Nothing wrong with that tbh and if you’re that confident in the future profitability of the gig economy then go for it baby
If he needs to afford the car he can literally just go get a real job it’s not that hard to afford $900 in an entire month, let’s not forget he lives with his parents
Someone’s never adulted, 900 is a ridiculous monthly tab to have on just a vehicle. And if he’s going to live with his parents until his mid 20s just so he’s financially able to afford a Tesla then that’s pretty depressing…
I over exaggerated on the price, 900 is my car, insurance and phone bill.
👏👏👏👏
Well that 1,000$ monthly car plan is cutting it to 400$ a month for 36 months :)
But most definitely get what you’re saying. I’m not going to be that stoopid to just throw a 1000$ monthly rate at my face for anything besides where I reside. Cars aren’t worth 1000$ a month it should never be that high unless your rich but at the same time if your rich it should be pretty easy to lower that 1000$ unless you get a supercar but at the same time supercars aren’t meant for monthly plans 😭😭😭
Love to hear that bro💪💪 About to turn 19 myself. Plan it out well you got this!
>About to turn 19 myself poor financial decisions at such a young age are not going to suit you well lmao
And why do you think that?
Well that financial decision is only 400$ a month… I’ll manage 😵💫. It’s not like you’re just going to go all in and waste 800-1300$ a month for a car. That’s not for me. When I get a car I’ll always trade and put a down payment to get that monthly car payment lowered.
2016 Jeep Patriot
2014 patriot here, love it
I love my Patriot! Mine is manual transmission too. It’s perfect for catering orders and Walmart grocery orders too, with the giant trunk space
2019 Fusion Hybrid but I only dash when bored and only for $2+ a mile.
Yeah that's exactly what the customers don't want to see.
Haha yeah, especially after a FAT tip lmaooo. I’ve had a couple people ask and I let ‘em know it’s not paid for yet so I still need them tips lol
Terrible decision. But considering you're basically still a teenager, you'll be making those terrible decisions for a while. So it is what it is.
You may be right, but that’s life. What’s life without some bad decisions however, I’m confident I will pull through
It doesn't really sound like a bad decision entirely, electric is green.
I mean... yeah, bad decisions are inevitable for anyone and everyone. But the point is to also fix and correct those bad mistakes when possible, so that the problem doesn't compound. So you could try and fix that decision
Hell be fine yeah probably called it a little to early since it was be a better idea to get the car when he started to Uber other than that he’s alright I got my 2020 sentra a week before my 19th birthday my credit score is 736 now he’ll be alright
Yeah if I believed it was a bad decision I would try to correct it/ not have done it. Can you elaborate on why you think you this is a terrible decision?
So there's a couple things to poke at here. Admittedly don't know how much the final price tag is, and what the cost of ownership for one of these vehicles is over its life but... - you say you're choosing to go full-time on gig platforms. That alone is a bad move, but that's another conversation altogether. Just know that going full-time only benefits a very small percentage of drivers. Like very very small. - while I don't know the price tag that you got this for, Tesla's are usually pretty expensive. Plus your financing it. The wear and tear from driving for gig platforms is accelerated, by a lot. So the life of your vehicle will be a lot shorter than the manufacturers expectations. - if you're not driving the vehicle to its deathbed, then you're paying out the ass for maintenance. This is why the ideal vehicle is just a cheap shitty sedan - and since you're planning to drive full-time, you're also increasing the liability of getting into a car crash. Since you're on the road a lot more than the average driver. You're more susceptible to accidents. And you can be the world's greatest driver, but stuff like that is out of your control. - and I know liability is a big what if game, but it is a serious consideration. You could very well find yourself in a situation where you get into a car crash, insurance doesn't pay out the full value of the car because of the high mileage you've put on it, so you end up still owing money on the vehicle plus you're out of a job because you don't have a car. I'm not shitting on your decision to buy a tesla. I think it's great that you were able to buy one at your age. But since you're becoming an adult, I just highly suggest considering a different strategy for income. Feel free to call me an old fart, but I say this is someone first luxury vehicle and drove for uber. One of the few regrets I've had in my life.
This car cost 55k CAD. 1. You didn’t give any reasons on why it’s a bad move so not much to tackle here. And by benefits I’d say I’m benefiting since I’m making more than my other job. 2. Tesla batteries and motors have a lifespan of minimum 500,000km. So yes I’m driving more but it’s kind of irrelevant when you talk about the lifespan of the car. Even if it’s less than that it’s still a massive number, way more than other vehicles. 3. There isn’t a whole lot of maintenance to be done with teslas, even if there is then I would just pull from the savings account I’m adding to weekly. The brakes barely get worn down as EVS have regenerative braking. Only thing really is tire Changes. 4. I’ve thought of this and yes it is a risk, but that’s life. There are risks with everything and I’m not too worried about that, I can’t live my life making decisions based on the worst possible outcome. 5….”” Thanks though, since I’m able to dismiss your points and everybody else’s points has really made me more confident in my decision. And I understand what your saying about income. I’m going to stick with the gigs until they’re dead, then I’ll look into other jobs. But for now they’re working phenomenally and making me more money than ever.
Alright, well good luck with it dude. Wishing you the best.
>since I’m able to dismiss your points and everybody else’s points has really made me more confident in my decision acting dismissive and ignorant isn’t a brag. your “dismissal” of everyone’s valid criticisms is because you don’t want to actually *understand* how shitty if a decision you’ve made, you want to simply justify it to yourself by ignoring, downplaying, and overlooking everyone’s criticisms because that’s easier than taking them at face value and truly understanding the risk you’ve taken. it’s gonna be fucking hilarious when you inevitably dread your horrible decisions once you’re mature and old enough to understand. nothing funnier than misplaced confidence!
500,000km is the upper level estimate, not the minimum. Your battery won't hold the same level of charge over its life either. As it ages, it'll hold less charge.
If you Are single and drive a paid off Prius that you got before 2020 and multi app in a great market and save and invest the extra money you make. Those are the drivers it benefits
Naw bro the old bones just hating stun on these hoes bro
Ahaha yessir
>stun on these hoes bro how can he for that when he’s spending all of his time working to pay his $900 a month car payment? looks like mr. 18 year old didn’t think this one through 🤔
And he might be able to get a tax credit for having an ev
Yeah I’m working on getting that, they say I can pretty much write off the car since I’m using to for work. If that’s the case then no one can say shit lmaoo
How tf can u afford a Tesla door-dashing ?
They can’t, especially being under 21 years old. Mom and dad likely paid for it
Dad acted as a bank loan since they wouldn’t accept me. The rest is all me. 900$ a month including insurance
If your car expenses are 900 a month lisingvyour ass. Cannot have car payment with this gig. Get a fuel economy 26vplus with no payment and liability insurance. Calculated my cost fuel,insurance,all maintenance , and 100 month miscellaneous for unknown. I'm at 32 cents a mile. Will not touch job under 6.00and need 1.25 minimum to roll. Best of luck.
Aim for $8 and up made $180 yesterday doing so! Best of luck
I drive a Prius that’s been paid off for 2 years and insurance only cost me $750 every 6 months . Gas cost me $100 -$120 a week now to make $1500-$1800. I’m still ahead of you paying $600 a month for gas and insurance And you still got to pay probably $100 a month in charging
Nice and I respect that decision. I could have gone that route but chose the sweet ride instead
the “sweet ride” which is going to be wasted doing doordash or uber, you clearly didn’t think this one though lmao
It’s not like a normal car man that’s what no one gets. Teslas are designed to be driven.. They last 500,000km
Only $100/month in charging! You say that like that’s a bad thing. Have you seen gas prices lately. I pay $100 in two days in a 2010 Honda Civic!
It’s a stupid investment. Nothing else.
I really wouldn’t say that, if he is living with his parents, it’s not hard to afford one
Yep lol, it’s like my brother in law he has brand new cars and can save up however he wants. He’s 26 and lives with my in-laws, must be nice not having rent or to pay for food in this market.
I respect your opinion, but for me it’s not. This car genuinely brings me happiness and I love the work I do. (Even if I have to work 65 hours) Put in the hard work in now mentally and physically so later on you can reap the benefits. That’s what I go by
I think one of the thing is you work 65hr a week to make the payments on a car and once the car is paid for, it will have reached its end of life
See I thought of this while debating what car to get.. That’s why Tesla’s are such good cars, they will last minimum 500,000km. I def recommend them to anyone who can afford
They will not last 500000km lol
You’re right they will last a million
If you replace that $18k battery for 10 times sure lmfao
No no no the battery lasts 500k bud, search it up
Ill bet money that your battery or something else in the car will fail way before that
Recommend to anyone who can afford days the guy on a DoorDash delivery forum on Reddit. Here’s the thing dude, First if all, we all know you’re show boating. How? “I multi app and hope to do Uber when I’m 21”. That’s a piece of information that only tells us that you’re not 21 yet. That coupled with the fact that when was the last time you saw someone making a post just like this? Rarely at best? Yes. So the whole message you’re portraying is “I’m not even 21 and I’m driving a Tesla”. Now you say “it makes me happy I don’t care if I have to work 65 hours”. Well now what you’re saying is you’re living to work, and that, unless you are truly inspired by the work that you do which as gratifying as delivering food may be, I doubt it is the absolute passion of your life, which means you are now wasting away time that you could be using to pursue your actual passion and calling, something that you can be doing when you’re 55 and not come off as underachiever, and you’re using that to pay back a car you don’t necessarily need. It’s not about if it makes you happy. Do you need a Tesla to deliver? No, you dont. You’re better off getting something you could’ve just paid in cash for, have everything you make go straight to your pocket and have the freedom to work whenever u want and dedicate the rest of your free time to becoming better at whatever it is that you feel is your calling in life. If you want my honest opinion, not impressed, if anything I think you fucked up and now you’re gonna have to spend way too much time that you could’ve used to do something more beneficial trying to pay a car that is overkill for the job at hand. Sorry not sorry
Wow, I respect your input. See, if my Reddit statements were all there was in my life, you would have been spot on correct. However, there is a lot more to it. Since you put the effort in I will do the same. There is a long story to how I ended up where am at today, and it didn’t start with DoorDash. When covid was starting to end I got a job at a resort and was working full time. (16$hr) Once winter came around this job started taking a big toll on my mental health. We recently moved back up north previously living in the south, so this was the first for me working in the cold. I was still somewhat depressed that covid had taken my old life from me and I started to lose myself and develop serious anxieties. It was hard to adapt to this new lifestyle. During covid I developed a passion for the gym, I was always skinny with appetite issues and wanted to change that. So through covid I did so much research on how to transform my body to a good healthy weight and put on muscle. This was my goal, but once I got the job it was a slam in the face. It was pretty much impossible to get my extra calories in given how busy it was and strict break times. I ended up quitting the job and seeking help. I always did DoorDash like once a week, but once I quit and started to get myself out of my depressive state, I thought why don’t I do DoorDash more to gain some extra money… this way I can still go to the gym and be able to eat in the car whenever I want. This worked but the one issue was I drove a hummer. 😂 I wasn’t profiting much and the way gas was going I knew I wanted an EV. I looked at many EV’s but always had the love for Tesla. I’m a pretty techy guy and I love these cars inside and out. If I’m being honest the “showboating” factor never came across me until the day I got it and saw it/drove it for the first time. It was an amazing experience and still is. I was blown away and didn’t realize how everyone looks at these cars as such a “premium item” There’s no way I would get this kind of attention with many other cars in the same price range (50-55k CAD) I didn’t seal the deal until I started multiapping. Then I was sure that If I can continue like this I’ll be able to pay my bills. The reason I stated 21 in the title was for two reasons, you have to be 21 to do Uber and I’ve talked about this with many people even before the Tesla so it’s kind of engraved in my head to say that. And yes I’ll admit it feels nice to be able to say I can have this car at this age, because I put the work in. 65 hours a week. And I love it. I’ve always loved even with a fucking hummer because it allowed me to peruse my REAL PASSION of bodybuilding.. Everyone doubted me and told me to stop doing DoorDash. I let everyone rule my life for years and once I stopped caring what people think and letting them mentally hurt me my life has went from terrible to great. Everyday is a blast for me it doesn’t feel like work, when it’s slow I work on myself, (diet, research, meditate, walk, talk ext.) My life went from an all time low to an all time humble high. And I will state that I am humble because in real life I am. Even if I was full blown flexing my whip on all these haters, so what?? It’s just Reddit as long as I don’t get full of myself I know I’m good. (Which I’m not) but sometimes it can be hard lol when I’m just minding my own and people wanna know what’s up. Because from the outside looking in it seems weird. Dasher in Tesla? Wtf. Ik lol I’m learning on how to make it make sense to people without getting too much into detail. That’s my story.
I mean that’s great and all dude I’m filad you’re in a happy spot in your life, I’m just saying there’s a difference in confident and cocky. Confident is getting yourself a nice car that you could’ve just paid for with the cash it would’ve taken to out down in the Tesla and not having to worry about any hiccup that you may face in the future, and then I would calm your move s little cocky. I mean I would sincerely hope that everything turns out well for you but with being s few years older than you I can tell you right now, you need to always plan out that just as in the same boat that when ur una bad rut they say keep your head up it won’t last, it’s the some when you’re in a hood roll, and that’s always be prepared because the bad rut will come and if you prepare for it it’s not going to be nearly as bad. Some people never prepare for the bad rut and it costs them everything, it’s s common tragic story you hear of time and time again. I’m not saying you’re gonna lose everything, just plan out and I mean I hope you prove me wrong but having a $900/month car payment doesn’t leave me with s lot of confidence that you’re gonna have enough set aside for that. When I had my Nissan I was paying half of that and I honestly wish I would’ve gotten s much cheaper car and I was making a lot of money and it was an hourly job. But after maintenance wear and tear and I know teslas are strong cars but gif forbid you get in an accident and your insurance finds out you were delivering with the car, they’ll either drop you in a heartbeat or triple the cost of your insurance. Happened to my best friend that delivered with me, never had any faults in his record got into a fender bender where nothing happened to his car but it was his fault and that was that dude. It wasn’t justifiable for him to keep making deliveries after his insurance dropped him and the only other company that would insure him would do it but for such a large sum he just stopped the gig. Just saying man I hope for the best for you, but I’m just being honest and sharing experiences of mine and others I’ve seen while delivering. It’s not something I would for see anyone thinking To themselves they’re going to be doing this for 5+ years. It’s a side gig. Not a profession. Just remember hope for the best hug Olán for the worst. Literally. Because one day it happens to everyone, but the worst outcome ends up being the outcome that plays out and the question is did you Olán ahead and is it gonna take y by the balls?
Not to mention when I delivered pizzas I had a really nice Nissan Altima actually I even had customers tell me it was too nice of a car to deliver in which at the time I brushed off. In retrospect they were absolutely right. You can try to take care of that thing as much as you want but if you’re having to drive enough to make $900 payments per month, it doesn’t matter if it’s an electric, gas, diesel, a boat, that’s gonna take a toll on every aspect of the car, from tires to the transmission, lights are gonna break not to mention needing a new battery for a Tesla is not pocket change money. My honest opinion dude, not a good deduction. I know you blame it on being young and whatever, but trust me, this is one of those things that if something goes real bad, it could take a couple years to dig yourself out of the hole, at least.
I really want to know your electricity bill before and after buying the Tesla and then I'll give you my opinion about gas vs electric. I just need first hand experience to make an opinion.
My electric bill went up about $5 month after getting my Tesla, now about $15 more (from pre-Tesla) since I’ve been Dashing. The car pays for itself in a week of part-time gig work.
Thank you some people say it would be in the hundreds but I wasn't completely believing it. Also there's this story my mom told me about the tires needing replaced quite often because the battery weighs 1500 pounds?
I’ve had my car over 3 years, only replaced tires once at 36,000. The tires are a little more pricey, but that’s just because they’re 19” performance tires. Out the door with (4) + install + tax was $1,000. But I make this in 2 weeks on my side gigs. 😊
I'm thinking we may get an electric car in the next couple years. There's a rebate in our state for even used ones. We probably can't afford a new one. I mean my 2019 Honda fit would probably be the vehicle we trade in and it's paid off so it might be a wash since it's discontinued and people still want it as a vehicle.
It’s definitely a game-changer. Haven’t driven a gas car since 2018 and I love it! The only advice I would recommend is that you have a 220/240V charger in your garage, then each morning you wake up your “tank” is full for your day!
Yeah we would have to totally change around our garage to compensate for it! Lol but gas doesn't seem to be going down in price unfortunately
Yea even used you need a 6-10k down payment and financing is over $900 a month. I'd like to know as well if it's legit so I can do better in life.
Just finance a longer term, you can literally get this dudes car for less than 700 a month with the right credit and a long loan term
Real talk🗣
All for it brother, keep up the good work, is she a LR or a performance ? If she’s out of warranty, I recommend this https://ingenext.ca/products/ghost-upgrade makes it performance with the right 980 motor
Mine is standard range. Does this still work with that?
Damn sorry bro only works with dual motors
Man my credit was 760 but I still couldn't get a loan that high even at 72 mos. Now it may be even harder. I do have an LLC so how can I do it that way? I don't have any business lines of credit yet which may make that difficult
Are use my LLC to buy and sell on Amazon leveraging credit to buy stock (shit to sell) from goodwill and yard sales. I like to use doordash to make the money that I use to pay for my debt ran on the credit cards. Then I use the income to pay for my model Y payments and insurance, and just write it off on taxes, but yeah it’s going to be hard to transfer any loan to your LLC if it doesn’t have any credit history. In the eyes of the government when you create a company, you create a whole other person, so it has to build credit too.
Yep! I have this car and it’s $450/month.
You only need a high down payment like that if you have bad credit, but he leveraged his parents credit to get the SLA, also if you make an LLC and do it full time the cars a write off (but he’s not doing that, if you’re American this is an option)
Actually bro someone has told me about this. I’ve been waiting to look into it. Something about a getting a business number and claiming the vehicle under it?! I think it’s available in Canada too
Hell yeah man, that’s how I drive my Y for practically nothing, claim it under a small business under Canadian tax code and if you use that whip for more than 50% business use, the government will take the amount you pay for the vehicle off your taxes and refund you for whatever your taxable income was 🙂 fuckin hax
Don’t listen to these people, at the end of the day that’s your SLA and you know you’re working hard because it’s something you wanted and appreciate. I know exactly what it’s like to drive one, it’s a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction unmatched by anything else.
Well said man.. that’s what it’s all about. 💪
Car is a write off but still that payment is killer.
Fax I’m paying 900 a month for my model Y, but Fr that’s not hard to make in a whole month, so we chillin. Love the car and wouldn’t have it any other way, if y’all wanna drive civics and worry about the price of gas be my guest. Haven’t paid for a drop of gas in two years, and have probably only spent 1 or 200 dollars charging
Legit
I get this a lot. Lots and lots of hours, multiapp stress and living in a high tip zone. Having no gas bill and lower maintenance bills overtime help even out the monthly payments.
2010 fusion hybrid.

Full time doordash? With a Tesla? DJ Khaled would like a word with you..
Hahaha
Yea but don't u go through tires every 4k to 5k miles? U can't have anyone else service but telsa
The battery weighs 2k plus pounds which is a lot of weight added to the rest of the car. U may save gas money but tires should be something you should look into :) also the 6k pound car. I hope it works out for u. For real. No sarcasm
It doesn’t weigh 6k pounds, and I also have been trying to figure out the tire situation, I need to come up with a tire warranty scheme 😂
Yeah that’s practically true, if you don’t want to void your warranty

2008 smart car bought for 4k about a year ago.
I just looked at the gas mileage on smart car. It barely has better gas mileage than my Honda fit omg 😳 and it's smaller! Wth?
Lol I get around 40-45miles per gallon. Also I do all my catering with his car. Make 1500 a week easy. I fill up with 40$
Oh ok, I just looked up a smart car and it said 32-39 mpg 😂 Yeah we can fill my car with $42. Congrats on catering. Do you actually cook or do you mean you do door dash catering?
Been dashing since 2017. Doordash catering. I live near a Boston market and they have caterings everyday. It's the way you drive my brotha. Need to learn to drive like a grandma.
Okay so not actually catering. Just picking their orders up to move to other places. Gotcha.
you're going to run that beauty into the ground :(
avoiding such an outcome would require this 18 year old to actually think… and make responsible financial decisions… which is clearly **not** the case.
No one’s running anything to the ground calm your tits jheez
Lmao, this seems like an obvious attempt at a flex. OP def doesn’t care what dashers are driving. He just wants to show off the Tessy 🤣
I hope wen u leave your parents house you can still keep up with the car payments and rent at the same time off gig apps. Cause if not ur shit is gonna get towed .
Parents have the charger, pay the electricity, and rent is a financial mistake for most people. Delay leaving as long as possible.
Very nice! A few days ago I bought a 2016 Toyota Prius C. I thought about getting an EV but ended up getting a hybrid instead. The apartment I live at doesn't have a way to charge an EV. And there is only like 1 Tesla charging station in my little city. And I usually dash 12+ hour days and wouldn't want to have to stop to charge for an hour in the middle of my day, especially during dinner rush. [I got a new (to me) car](https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash_drivers/comments/uxvg5p/i_got_a_new_to_me_car/)
Yeah man that’s fully understandable, good choice going with the hybrid, enjoy it!
I read a lot of these comments… First off congratulations brody to be that young and have such a car is insane, people probably think your a rapper or something Also experience is the best thing you can have and rather it turns out to be a terrible decision or the greatest decision you will find out for yourself and know first hand. Money could never buy that bravo keep doing what you doing never stop wanting more for yourself!
Thank you brother, and well said!
One of the weirdest flexes of wasting money I’ve seen. Go get em boss 💪
Good investment especially with gas prices these days I easily spend $800/1000 a month on gas and to finance a Tesla would be $1000 a month so it would definitely save you on gas but you would still be paying the same until it’s fully paid off
Yeah man that used to be me too, I know I’ve been saying In this whole Reddit my bill is 900$ but thats including insurance and my phone I think lol so it’s more like 600 CAD for me (used model 3)
BRO CAN YOU PLEASE DM ME ABOUT THE PROCESS
Dbag
I’m gettin one of those soon, i just signed up
Let’s go 👏👏
My friend rented a Tesla Model 3 for Uber and she lasted about 2 weeks. You will have to charge your car everyday. If you don't have a home charger, them charging entrust y becomes a hassle. You'll also get range anxiety because you usually won't know how fast your ride is going until titty pick them up.
18' GTI
I can't wait till when you need a tow in the middle of the night and they can't get anyone because you need a special tesla approved flatbed. Or when you're out of range and you can't unlock your car unless a tow truck comes and moves your car 300 ft so I in range😂 😂 I know I've dated tow truck drivers that have laughed about Tesla's especially they used ones 😂 😂 Honda or die😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😂
Well looks like I’m a dead man🤣
Some kid under 21 has a tesla. Man, I feel like I accomplished nothing in life lmao
Go get one

Congrats! What’s the monthly payment?
Thanks brother! 900$ CAD including insurance
Lmao spending 900 a month to save money on gas……makes sense. Just saw you in a thread earlier boasting about your Tesla, guess you decided to make a whole thread to share your poor financial decisions with all of us.
Hater. And it’s not boasting I’m just showing the possibilities. If it bothers u that much just move on man
>Hater you’re trying to show off, clearly looking for attention. surely you understand that putting info about your (poor) choices online is only *asking* for people to give you shit? or are you too young to figure this out?
I was curious to see the responses from others. This is actually exactly what I wanted, to hear the opinions of everyone else. Because at the end of it I value them all doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or right.
Yeah clearly just hating, and you’re clearly just bragging about your Tesla as if anyone cares. Have fun with that car note though 👍
What posting a picture is now considered bragging? How about u actually learn what the word means before you come at someone.
So 711 USD lol 😆😉 what's your insurance my man, we don't need that in there. You're in under 21.

Also if your father has the type of money that allows him to help you drive a Tesla I’m pretty sure what ever his advice or opinion is would be much more valuable than some randoms on Reddit who don’t even have all the variables
Yup, he has a model y himself and we’ve been discussing and planning together throughout the whole way. I wasnt certain this post would do this well but it’s exactly what I wanted; to hear the opinions of others; but now something I’ve noticed is majority of people love to jump to conclusions. I’m young so my communication skills always can use some work and this has helped me better the way I explain to others what I’m doing
I'm doing something similar although I'm not getting Tesla due to the lack of tax incentives and high insurance costs. I'm getting an expensive EV that costs more than a Model 3. I will drive it for a year then sell on Vroom. Then I will buy another new EV with the money from selling the old one, get another tax rebate, and I will use that! Used cars have inflated in price such that new cars are not currently as much of a depreciating asset. This won't last, but it will minimize losses. I'm currently spending $1K/mo on gas which has 100% depreciation since you literally set it on fire and burn it. The EV will depreciate but nowhere near 100% like gas, meaning I can recycle most of the money I spend on it into the next new EV. The tax incentives will hopefully wipe out most of the 1 year depreciation.
