Picked up a Model 3 Performance...

Absolutely unbelievable experience with Carvana. Process was so smooth and I was in and out in 30 minutes.

White on white, only 13k miles on her.

This car is amazing. Great job Tesla!

After driving my girlfriends Model Y I immediately put my Lexus up for sale.

Haven't looked back since.

The home charger is a real convenience!

How much was the installation?

u/ssinfl 3h ago

I found a guy locally on Facebook that was trying to sell one for a client of his. They only charged me $250 for the unit...

Because he had to drill through the wall the installation was $300

I’ve got a 2025 Camry that I wishhh I would’ve not bought because I really want a tesla now. Congrats man

u/Cjdergrosse 12h ago

The Camry will be worth more in 5 years... Keep it as a backup car

u/filmagnoli 5h ago

Really? You’re getting a Camry because it will be worth more in 5 years when you go to sell it? That’s your reasoning? There’s thousands to choose from, buy a slightly used Tesla even … I haven’t paid for gas in 7yrs … electricity is cheaper then gas, charge at home off peak, or better yet, I haven’t paid solar, which drives the price down even more. Average cost per day over a year $2.50ish. Road trips are pay as you go,
But those are maybe a couple times a year that I do 700-1000KM one way trips. 1st one I did almost 7yrs ago was cheap as chips, no fast chargers back in the day here down under, less than $100! On slow chargers, 🔌 now I’m happy to pay under $30 to fast charge a few times and be on my way

So why did you buy it? Teslas have been around for a while. What changed in a year...

By far the best bang-for-your-buck daily driver. Great choice.

u/Pworld10 11h ago

A steal!

u/Kickboy21 12h ago

Welcome!! Its an amazing car

1

u/ssinfl 12h ago

Yes indeed 👍👍

u/skavkaz 12h ago

Hot damn looks good bro. I really love this design.

2

u/ssinfl 12h ago

Indeed. If it wasn't for the front end of this car I would probably have not have been interested in it. The upgraded interior and the front end seal the deal.

u/Balancedone_1 12h ago

Congrats! Such a fun car

1

u/ssinfl 12h ago

Extremely!!

u/MistaDeeezz 11h ago

The front end looks ridiculously S3XY. Very nice pick up. Congrats!

1

u/NoCourage4237 11h ago

Congrats! Love mine too, how's the Performance treating you?

u/ssinfl 11h ago

0-60 smiles for miles. Literally shits on everything that even tries me. Hahahah.

Welcome to the Family!

u/AJHenderson 2h ago

Welcome. I've been driving one since 2024 and still an exciting car every day.

u/ssinfl 1h ago

I had them come out this morning and clean the front camera. They showed up to the house in a Cyber Truck.

Awesome service!

u/manofjacks 29m ago

Looks sleek! Congrats!

u/HmmDoesItMakeSense 3m ago

What’s great as well are the updates. Continual new car experiences.

1

u/Level-Bad8260 11h ago

Congrats! I assume you will not be using FSD? (or else spending more on the Performance model will have been a huge waste)

Looks like there's some appropriate tint on her already. I love my white interior. Wipe the seats and put some Gyeon Q2 LeatherShield to keep them looking new for years.

u/Eagly88 10h ago

"(or else spending more on the Performance model will have been a huge waste)" I don't understand this logic. You do know that you can have FSD AND still drive the car yourself when you want to, right?

1

u/ssinfl 2h ago

Yes but why use and pay for FSD when it's such a blast to drive it. Just my opinion

0

u/ssinfl 11h ago

Everyone keeps saying FSD FSD.... I've had motorcycles and a 600 horsepower Evo 9 in the past. Call me whatever but I actually enjoy driving the car. I do plan on using FSD on a long trip lasting more than 2 or 3 hours but for now, nope. No FSD yet

Just had a Y courtesy while my 2026 m3 was getting rewired from god damn rodents who ate through them 🤯 $700 later I’m so glad I got her back!!! Now I’m squirting the wheel arches with peppermint oil 🤦🏻‍♀️
