  • I just bought the new 2019 Tesla Model 3 - here’s why it was only $78.39 per month. Enjoy! Add me on Instagram: GPStephan

    So how does a $40,000 car come down to a price of $29,450?
    To start, this car is eligible for a $3750 federal tax credit until June 30th, 2019. This means if you pay more than $3750 in federal taxes, you will receive this entire amount back at the time you file your tax return. That money is as good as cash.
    California drivers are also eligible for a $2500 Electric Vehicle Rebate, in which the state will mail you a check for $2500 upon showing proof of purchase.
    Now Tesla gets a little sneaky after this…because in that $29,450 figure, Tesla also
    So excluding the gas savings and only focusing on the first two, cash-value rebates, the ACTUAL price of the car comes to $33,750. For a brand new Tesla. Standard Range Plus. With AutoPilot.
    So here’s how I bought this car for $78.39 per month:
    Because I financed 100% of the car, my ONLY out of pocket cost was the taxes, license, and registration - which came to $4437.01
    From the remaining amount I financed, my payment comes to $640 per month, or $7680 in the first year.
    That means, in the first year, my total out of pocket cost is $12,117.01 between my payments, taxes, insurance, etc.
    However, after the rebates and tax credits, that brings my TOTAL cost of owning this car for the first year down to $5867.01.
    Because this car is for business use, the $1438 I pay in interest on the auto loan is a tax write off, the $4437 in taxes, licensing, and registration I paid upfront is a write off, and I can depreciate the car against my income. That’s a $14,075 tax write off…which saves me roughly about $4,926.25 in taxes.
    So remember…my total out of pocket cost was $5867.01 after electric vehicle tax incentives. PLUS I save $4926.25 in taxes…that means I’m effectively buying a BRAND new Tesla Model 3 for $78.39 per month out of pocket…and realistically, this works out to be a FREE car when you take into account that MOST of that $640 per month loan payment goes towards principle, and that I can invest my money in real estate at a significantly higher return than what I’m paying in interest on the Tesla. But in terms of out of pocket cost: $78.39 per month.
    And after going through the experience buying a Tesla like this, completely sight unseen, without ever having driven one before, I have to say…I don’t understand the concern of Tesla’s no-dealership model. Personally, I think the entire worry is overblown - and I think we’ll start to see a lot MORE car companies embracing this online-only business model.
    We’re naturally entering an era where everything is done online. I haven’t been to a mall or physical store in FOREVER because it’s more convenient to buy it online, and USUALLY for a more competitive price because online stores have lower overhead, and that savings is passed down to the customer.
    And for that, I have to give Tesla credit for being the first to really challenge the traditional business model of selling cars.

      $78 for the first 8 months (through the end of 2019). Thereafter, roughly $600/mo for the remainder. So total out of pocket over 60 months in the $32k range. Not bad at all, but it averages out to $533/mo. Definitely click-bait quoting the effective monthly cost for his first 8 months of ownership without explaining the rest.

      Robert Matlock not all videos are the same. I’ve watched a few videos on the subject and as a person who owned a website as well, I can say that some video earn more than others. Depends on the audience it attracts, what it’s talking about, and so forth.
      If you got a site on sneakers, your waning power gonna be a larger number than a site on pranks. A site on financial tips and budgeting gonna make more than a site on science and math.

    I have a lot of things to says about this video. Theme being it’s misleading. First of, the $78 per month only applies to the first year of a six year lease. The payments to this car will ALWAYS be $640/month, even in that first year. What he’s doing is that he’s applying all the rebates and the gas savings and the tax write offs and this and that TO THAT FIRST YEAR, which is entirely arbitrary. Not only he should be applying this to the 6 year contract, but some of the things he’s counting in (like tax write offs) are not specific to Tesla. For example, if I buy a cellphone, I say it costs $1000 and not $1000 - “whatever the tax write off”. You know what I mean. But even if we do all that, here’s what the math really looks like.
    $78.39 * 12 = $940.68
    $640 * 60 = $38,400
    $38,400 + $940.68 = $39,340.68
    $39,340.68 / 72 = $546.40
    This is how HE should have done the math, even tho it’s still very misleading. Cause remember, the payment is never different than $640 but what he’s doing is taking the potential savings and applying those towards the first 12 payments. Entirely misleading but if he did that to the actual life of the loan, the payment would be $546.40 (adjusted but not actual)

    Don't waste your time watching. It's still $640 a month.
    It's $75 a month for him because he: gets tax credits paid back next year. Lives in California and gets an extra tax credit every other state doesn't get. And had the taxes and interest subtracted because it's a "business" vehicle.
    This isn't a car for $78 a month. This is full approve a car with rebates that the average Joe can't afford.

      The only repeatable credit he has is the depreciation value - which cuts in half after the first year, so that $8200 turns into $4100, and by his own calculations only about 35% of that is returnable as a tax writeoff, so 0.35*4100 = $1435. So his annual payments of $7680 minus the depreciation value of $1435 = $6245 a year. This translates to $520.42 a month after the first year.
      So basically this video is saying "Hey! If you put something on a credit card that doesn't charge any interest for the first year, it's free!"

      Adrian Lynn oh didn't know that. Only knew part of it like not claiming 100% of anything. Maybe 70% max unless it truly is more.

      The loan interest and depreciation tax write offs would still be effective in year two. In fact, you can depreciate a greater amount of the car in year two than year one. I believe its $16000 in year 2. Once the car is fully depreciated though you gain no benefit... also if you were to sell it at any point after, you'd have yourself a taxable gain on the full amount of the sale due to it being fully depreciated. I am not a tax professional... but this is my limited knowledge of this kinda stuff from having my own business and buying cars through it to gain similar tax advantages.

      @@johnokeefe2471 i think he took all the writeoffs and credits, subtracted that from the price he paid for the car then divided it by the number of payments of the loan...and got $73. but this guy must have really good credit score to get approved. i wouldnt qualify lol

      Just watching Rich Rebuilds on how people buying the Model 3 and because of how so many people want it that it's being resold at price or higher of the original
      Not sure how long that will last but it's it ends up being like a Elise then he might really win

      @hugorodriguez5521 Před 5 lety

      Max Hoderlein I would assume he used MACRS with 200% GDS with half year convention. Resulting in 20% depreciation on the cost of asset. Or 8,000 on the first year. Which even then under bonus depreciation under the first year rule for luxury cars, it would be 18,000 if he chooses this path.

      No, he's doing what rich people used to do with home-buying - even if they have the cash to buy the house, they get a mortgage instead and invest the money, then they use the dividends or interest they get from their investment to make the monthly payments on the mortage - and they end up with a free house. That's how the rich stay rich.
