My first and only question: have you never owned a car before? Your message makes me think you jumped into the decision of buying a new car without much thought

My first and only question: have you never owned a car before? Your message makes me think you jumped into the decision of buying a new car without much thought, or a lack of understanding of what car ownership entails.

- dgzl 8y agoHe seemed surprised about general needs and maintenance of vehicles, or was I misreading his comment?
- Buetol 8y agoYes, I currently have a cheap diesel car (bought it for 1500€) and I planned to resell it when my tesla would arrive. Nonetheless, I agree with you that it wasn’t well planned, but I guess is surely true for many other people whi pre-ordered out of excitement like me. EDIT: Also at the time I was earning 3 times more than now, making it an affordable option
- on_and_off 8y agoNot op but I used to own a car and I could not be happier about not owning one anymore. My daily commute does not necessitate a car, nor does grocery shopping. I have a boosted board for when I want to shorten my commute or explore the city a bit. I sometimes use Lyft or rent a car but the cost is ridiculously smaller than what owning a car would cost me. It is dependent on many factors, for example a job change might force to buy a car but right now it works extremely well for me.
