    As self-driving and electric vehicle tech improves, I predict we're going to see a large number of people opting to live in self-driving motorhomes. Things will change once self-driving is advanced enough that there is no need for anyone in the driver's seat. Being able to program your vehicle to take you to work before you even wake up, getting some housework done while you're stuck in traffic, having a lazy day at home while you're transported across the country; these conveniences would be utterly revolutionary and life-changing. This is a very basic example of a brand new type of lifestyle.

      @@eli6797 According to Edmunds the "True Cost" of owning and operating a Tesla X for 5 years is 195K, that is total costs including the purchase price and depreciation.. If you can't afford rent in an area than get room mates. Or better yet get a job. This is a man-child that went to college (student loan or did daddy pay?), had a job and bought a 100K luxury vehicle. He then quit his job and is living in said vehicle with a1800 car payment. All the while trashing the same luxury car. He is wasting the most critical years concerning career development. The longer he lives like a hobo the harder it will be to get a decent job. Believe it or not employers don't really respect someone who spent 10 years living in a overpriced car. Oddly enough they care about work ethic and experience. Nothing to admire about this guy and he is not making anything close to sound financial decisions.

    He has no oil changes....nearly no maintenance on his home/vehicle, compared to other non-electric whatever's.

The "True Cost Total" takes into account all financial aspects of ownership. depreciation, financing, insurance, repairs, taxes & fees and maintenance. That includes the $7500 tax credit. Depending on when he bought the Tesla that number would be added to the 95K. Add the purchase price to the vehicle and the 5 year cost is $195,201. Thats a lot of jack.

      Back to the used 2015 Honda EX. The True Cost to Own over 5 years is $36,369. Since we paid cash (the Tesla down payment) you could subtract
      about $2500 in financing charges.. That lowers the 5 year cost to $33,869. Add the purchase price to that and you get $50,303 total costs.
      www.edmunds.com/honda/crosstour/2015/cost-to-own/
      That's a difference in total cost between the two cars of $144,898.
      Buying a Tesla for financial reasons is NOT sound advice. Of course neither is quitting your job.

      @@infam0usP Just pointing out your statement about saving money on a trendy luxury car is wrong. Fuel cost is the smallest part of car ownership. I do not care how he spends his money. I just think that he is an irresponsible little man-child. Hopefully others will see how stupid he is.

    Beautiful car, but it looks like a pig pen inside. Very dirty and using a candle to cover up bad odors is not the best way. Just clean it up and it will automatically smell better.

    honestly he's living my ideal life. if youve never taken a road trip in an electric car, you dont know how great it feels to save money, to plan your routes, to sleep wherever you like! like i feel so safe sleeping at electric chargers - some are shitty areas, but some are in walmarts or hospitals or nice office plazas.

    I cannot believe there are so many people bashing the guy for living (sleeping) in his Tesla. What's so wrong about living in your car? You save a lot of money doing so and become very resourceful and a minimalist.
    The people bashing this alternative lifestyle are chain bound to societies views of how life should be lived given their standards of how it should be done.
    I too was living out of my little Kia forte for a month and it was so liberating and gave me a new perspective. I no longer live in my car as I moved to a bigger city and my friend offered me his spare bedroom rent free, but I even miss sometimes living out of my car.
