Im not sure where you are getting 150,000? Is that in dollars? The Tesla starts at 45,000 US dollars. With the most expensive model being about 90,000.
I definitely agree about the leasing thing. The only reason I leased was because the batteries were so new to the market (again, this was in 2014) and it was a way for me to "test" whether I wanted to keep the car long-term or not. I loved the car so much that I was fully planning to buy out the lease - but it was totaled in an accident. The good news was that because it was leased, I did not owe a single cent on the car in a loan payoff or anything.
OUTSTANDING advice! If you can’t find babies, bring your brother-in-law’s hyper children and start them playing hide-and-seek in the showroom.I definitely agree about the leasing thing.

Also - I NEVER pay a down payment on a car. NEVER. I did not put a down payment on the lease either. I just told them - No, I am not doing that. Then I stay there for HOURS. That day I was at the dealership for about 9 hours. I just keep negotiating with them. I am just really stubborn with them. I am not rude. I am very nice. But I keep saying no. And then, because I spend so many hours there, I think I wear them down. I go in with my laptop, and I have everything already calculated. Tax, tag, title. Everything. So when they give me a quote, I quickly show them that the price they are quoting is wrong. Then, I tell them how much I love the car - but keep politely pushing for a better deal. Then - after spending HOURS there, I say "I am really sad you won't work with me. I really love this car. But I am not paying that." And I get up and leave. They chase me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Because they have spent so many hours with me, they don't want to lose the sell. It is very exhausting. And you do spend an entire day at a dealership. But if you really stick to your guns - you will get the deal because they wasted an entire day with you and don't want to walk away without a sale. And no, they did not add the down payment to the end of the lease because I also negotiated the payoff price up front based on Kelley Blue Book and typical values of the cars at the end of 3 years.
The very best car deal I ever got was when I took my 6 month old twins in to the dealership who had missed their nap. It was beautiful. I got the car for less than the Kelley Blue Book value and I got out of there in 3 hours. They were desperate for me to leave. EVERYONE should take tired babies to a dealership to buy cars.
I agree. Have you ever been in a parking garage near the charging stations and seen people charging their cars and impatiently pacing and checking their watches? No thanks!
This is so funny! And yes, my dad who is a such a sweet polite man, has scored many deals at car dealerships doing the same thing…… hanging around for hours and hours but resisting.

It would be smart to utilize US oil and reopen those pipelines….but they won’t consider smart.
crowd!
I don’t listen to this comedian named Jeff something, I think. But he’s a ventriloquist and if you look at a picture of him and one of his dummies, Walter, it looks just like the bumbler!
