      Yeah this is completely inaccurate. Especially considering the $7,500.00 tax deduction from the government. My Dad just bought himself a Tesla Model Y. He put down $3grand. His monthly car note is $350.00, his car insurance via USAA is $180.00 a month. That's $530.00 a month. This video is very inaccurate and stops people from even attempting to buy a Tesla, thinking they have no chance of affording when they absolutely have a chance and then some. Somebody making $40 grand a year could afford to finance a Tesla model Y. Guys, do your research before you listen to videos like these, go to the source aka Tesla customer service and see what's what, you'd be surprised what kind of deals you may be offered. I digress.

    You have 5 years to pay the car off on typical financing. You don’t need to make $130k a year to drive one of these cars. I make 50k a year on my own and have no problem paying the insurance and car payment and everything else I need to pay. You just have to budget the cost of the car into what you already pay monthly and how much you make monthly. You’ll obviously need a some extra for unexpected expenses. So keep that in mind.

      Exactly, in today's world if you want a car beyond that formula you just make up for it in down payment. For EVs especially, between the rebates and the low maintenance costs, it can easily pay off.

  • @guildguitars6349
    @guildguitars6349 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Problem with that is you are ignoring the federal and state incentives. Currently, at about $46,000, if you then deduct $11,000 which many states offer combined with federal, you are already at approximately 25% off of the sticker price. Factor in a trade-in of a $4000 vehicle, and then another $4000 on top of that, and you are looking at a loan for $27,000. The monthly payment on that is way below $800 a month, and is probably closer to $450 or less per month depending on the interest rate. Add to that approximately $200 per month for insurance and maintenance and you were looking at around $650 per month. People should look to minimize their monthly payments because he wind up paying a fortune in interest over the life of the loan, but $650 per month is affordable for many people.

    The only thing you should get a loan to buy is a house. Maybe for your first car if you need transportation but that shouldn't cost more than 20k. After that save your planned monthly payment in an account and buy it in 6 years or whatever your term was going to be. Save thousands of dollars in interest. (Unless you have premium credit and can find a 0% interest deal or a very low interest rate lower than a high yield savings account).

    And depending on your state might be additional tax credits. So for my State in Colorado we get $5500 in tax credits.
    Got a deal on a 2023 Model Y long range for 50k minus the tax credits (13k) came out to be 37k and with taxes out the door, 39k.
    Not too bad. Definitely worth the price if thats in your budget. And thats without a trade-in.
    And if you could trade in your current ride and get 10-12k for it.. you are looking at a brand new Model Y for 27k .. which most people can afford 72 month loan.
    With decent credit at 10% interest rate.. you are looking at $448.23 a month close to $600 w/ insurance..
    Or if you own a house and roll it into house insurance bundle .. could just be 450 a month.
