ok but that's 10k more than the one AJT posted, so not exactly similar.

'thrashing' an ev doesn't make any difference.

This dealership wasn't my first rodeo.

Yeah I know, but I was just giving an example to bob04 on how you can save buying used

i just go in and hold my nose, get through it, and move on. if they're too absurd, i'll just leave.

and tesla isn't all gravy and biscuits.

you CAN'T get the actual payment you're going to have on a tesla lease until you've PLACED THE ORDER.

I knew exactly my payment, but I financed through a credit union. You can always back out until you actually take delivery, you'll lose your $250 deposit

There is a toggle on Tesla.com to include all taxes and fees in the estimate and it doesn’t matter whether you’re paying cash, leasing or financing. There are no fees missing from that calculator for a delivery to my zip code so the estimate provided pre-purchase should match your actual deal.

It's actually a pretty good car wash. The touchless wash works pretty well, only $14.99. Still doesn't make up to the .20 cents per gallon they take off

Ah, touch less washes are okay. Those gas station mitter ones though are bad news.

Free hotel charging ftw. Prior to either of us arriving, a Charger was parked in one of the charging spots which is why we are parked opposite of the charger we’re using.
