First Tesla. I finally get it.
Finally got myself into a '23 M3 RWD. 22k miles. Drives and looks brand new. My ideal color was blue, but I'm happy I at least got the premium wheels on it!
I did so much research prior to this purchase and ultimately decided the LFP battery was the best for me. I needed something that would save me money in the long-term, while also being bullet-proof reliable as I'm planning on driving it till the wheels fall of (saving up money for a house). Only thing I am currently concerned about is the battery degradation in the long-term but I hope that worry subsides with time.
I finally understand the hype. The Tesla fanbase always seemed "culty" to me and I never understood why they felt so strongly about their vehicles but after a week of driving this thing, I completely get it. This car made all other ICE vehicles I've driven feel extremely outdated. The best analogy I can come up with right now is I feel like I've had a flip phone all my life, and I just got an iPhone. I was worried the RWD model would be too slow compared to my previous car, but that instant torque really does put a smile on my face every time and it's zippier/more nimble than I anticipated.
Incredibly happy and blessed to be able to make this post, thank you all for the knowledge you've given me over the past couple of months. I sourced a lot of data from this subreddit.
I ordered a few things online to maintain the integrity of the car long-term and enhance the overall experience.
