  • Here is how much you need to be making to afford a Tesla Model 3. We will use the "20-4-10" rule, which means putting down a 20% down payment, financing the car for 4 years, and keeping the total cost (including the down payment and financing) under 10% of your monthly income. According to this rule, if you were to purchase a Tesla Model 3 for $48,000 (including destination and order fees), finance it at a 6% interest rate for 4 years, and make monthly payments of $905, you would need to earn $9,050 per month or $108,600 per year in order to afford the car. The text asks readers to consider whether they are making enough money to afford a Tesla.

      He also forgot credit score as that plays a huge on what you need to put down and to pay every month as everyone is different and the "24-10-4" rule is stupid because it isn't really an accurate amount on what you need to make to comfortably pay a car as it depends on what you have and your monthly bills and more as I always take this with a grain of salt

    The number of people who don’t understand tax credits in this comment section is stunning.
    The cheapest Tesla model 3 is $42,084 OTD (11/11/2023)
    You may qualify for a tax credit of $7500.
    The tax credit affects your tax liability NOT your finance payment.
    You still owe $637/mo for a base Model 3.

    Dont follow these poor advice it really all depends on how much you make and how much you save and you have to calculate most of your spendings like food gas insurance rent and if you have enough money to finance a car or lease then go for it I would say your best bet is to have someone else help you with your payments calculate your new insurance and monthly payments and see if you can afford it I bought a 2022 scat pack brand new and I make

    That's scary seeing that the Model 3 is cheaper than the average transaction price for vehicles in the US. Average US buyer must make more than that. UAW complain that their workers can't afford to buy the products they build. I make way less than that so I can't even afford the nitrogen in the tires.

      @@badbitchesonly5198I’m planning on buying a Model 3 LR either next year or in 2025, depending on finances and how quickly I can save. I make only $500/wk but have fairly low rent since it’s split between two parties, and have very few other bills. It’s possible, just know that you’ll have to pay a hefty down payment to get the monthly down to what you can afford. I plan on paying ~$15k out of pocket for the down payment. I’m going for a used LR model with less than 40k miles. Those go for around $34k, so at that point I’ll only be financing $19,000. You definitely don’t have to make $9k a month to own one, just figure out how much you’re able and willing to spend a month on a Tesla. Don’t forget insurance, too. I’m 22, will be 23-24 by the time I buy one, and from what I can find for my age group, a model 3 will cost about $200/month to insure. And my insurance record is good, I have no accidents or tickets on my record. Remember it’s a vehicle that can go 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. Insurance companies tend to raise an eyebrow at that. For me, it’ll be definitely over 20% of my monthly income, but it’s worth it to me because I love the car. Instead of paying to go see a movie or go to some event, I’ll just go cruise in my nice car for fun instead and save money that way. Driving a Tesla is a fun event, so I’m willing to pay for that experience and let go of some other things. It all depends on how bad you want one and what your other bills look like. In my current situation I can afford to save close to $1k a month if I really penny pinch, even though I only make $1,900/mnth. The only reason I can afford one is bc I’m fortunate enough to have an extremely low bill to income ratio. If I was living on my own I’d have 100% no chance at a Tesla right now. Honestly, ever since I drove one for ~30minutes about a year and a half ago, I knew I was going to buy one. They really do feel so fun to drive, I just don’t want any other car at this point. I’m willing to pay the premium for the experience.
