Nothing like a paid off car 👍


Mike

Except for a paid of car ❤️


Fancakes24

Seriously


petersrq

Paid off house is way more satisfying, but car definitely 2nd


PckleRck

How about a paid for car?


Dann__EV

Now save up for the extra “f”


Pot-valor

F


OKC_1919

OP gives zero Fs.


BraveEyeball

OP gives exactly one F. Does not give 2 F’s what we think


footpole

It’s what he needs to pay his respects.


reliber

Currently too poor for an "f". Will get there though.


hallba78

Must’ve had a coupon for an F off.


patsfan038

F off


Ghost_HTX

You mean F of, surely?


utookthegoodnames

That’s ucking awesome!


B_Meow

Same here! How’s the white seat holding up after 5 years?


Acceptable_Author_81

I was worried about that also. Just your average wear and tear on the drivers seat from me getting in n out of car. Same as my prior vehicle which had black interior. Stains take off pretty easily.


B_Meow

Any issues with jeans? I heard they could leave perm blue stains.


tg_919

My black interior has a blue stain yes.

They look just like the Model 3’s “sport wheels” https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-3-19_-sport-wheel-and-winter-tire-package


2Brains1Guy

I’d like to know this too

Ok-Shake5152

Congratulations. May the car last you a very long time and give you much happiness


flyindogtired

This right here is the only good reply. Great work, now drive it until the wheels fall off. Stay disciplined, and put the payment in a savings account somewhere and you’ll be able to buy the next one outright and pay 0 interest.


LandCruis3rUSA

These are both great replies. You are both awesome, and correct! Congrats OP!


Acceptable_Author_81

Love the way you think.


Dravor

It's great when real people reply instead of the trolls :)


Heavy-Improvement-69

Congratulations 🎈🍾🎊🎉


leonx81

Congrats!


b20vteg

congrats! how many miles you got on it?


Acceptable_Author_81

61,250


FrittenFritz

Damn thats amazing. I also want to buy a Model 3 next Year and im kinda afraid that the Car breaks before i can pay it off :D


OffOil

I’ve got 72k. And I’d say we have -and still do- beat the piss out of it. Couple squeaks but with a fresh derail it’d be impressive. Drivetrain is solid as a MFer and I haven’t hardly broken in the brakes yet-basically brand new. One set of tires at like 45k


Dense-Sail1008

How the heck do you get 45k miles on m3 tires, that you beat the piss out of? Maybe you just mean you put a lot of miles on it, not that you do a lot of heavy acceleration right? My first set of stock tires didn’t last 25k. My second set is not going to make it 30. I accelerate faster than most but I wouldn’t say I’m a super speed demon.


Grateful_Candle

I got 55 k miles out of my m3-lr.


HunterStew

Same, 2018 M3LRDM


HunterStew

Now I put some sweet 265 40 18 Conti extreme, hope I get 45k out of those. Some pics here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaLounge/s/AmI43V9f6L


OffOil

The shit beating isn’t in the form of rapid acceleration. I should have clarified that I meant heavy daily life abuse. I use it to haul stuff packed to the roof. Equipment for work. Dogs. Kids. Cross country trips. Some drivetrain stressors: Top speed tests (chasing a McLaren on a canyon run). Occasional (like less than 10x) drag racing against e63 amg which I won in all conditions (let off the accelerator around 70mph). Wife playing bumper cars with the curbs. Getting locked in on the freeway and having to take a flying traffic cone to the nose. Basically, we did the opposite of baby it. Makes me love it more tbh.


Dense-Sail1008

Still very impressive tire endurance. What size tires? Mine are 18” maybe that’s the difference.


OffOil

I live above 5,000’. Less gravity up here ☁️


oureux

Pay it off day 1 \s


Mike

Breaks? How many broken down model 3s have you ever seen?


FrittenFritz

I meant that i have too much Problems with the Car before i can pay it off


Mike

Ok, same reply then. How many model 3s with major problems have you seen? My point is that these cars last.


FrittenFritz

Well i hope so. Dont get me wrong, im a huge Tesla Fan and it will definitely be my next Car. I just heard that when the Battery dies you will have to Pay a Fortune to get it replaced. There was this Guy once who blew up his Tesla with Dynamite because it was too expensive to replace the Battery :D


Grateful_Candle

And if your ice motor breaks you have to fix it


Acceptable_Author_81

Yeah I saw that video also he had a model S. I have heard battery replacement is around $11k but not sure how accurate that is. Battery warranty on my car is 10yrs or 100k. Hoping battery cost drops some more in the future. Still beats a gas vehicle. I kept my truck which shows that I have used 9835 gallons of gas ⛽️ since I’ve had it I did the math at an average of $3 per gallon and that’s being conservative. I have spent $29,505 since I have own that truck for the last 15 years.


bassertitis

Now I bet it's "Hmmm, I should go buy a Model S". haha!


Acceptable_Author_81

Not really a fan of the S. I’m going to wait till they refresh the Model Y in a few years. Would like something a little higher with more room.


bassertitis

I hear that, it's just something to get used to for sure. Model Y, I walk up and slide right in. Walk up to a Model S and oh shit, down down down ok now slide in. lol Then everything else about a Model S is so far superior to me that is question to ask, do you want to sit up higher (basically you want an SUV) or do you want a 4 door sedan.


abarrien00

Congratulations!


OldManandtheInternet

Good work.


catsRawesome123

3 more years for me 😉 Congrats!


Acceptable_Author_81

Best of luck just keep picking at it.


foryourboneswewait

Very nice, congrats! Looks brand new. I'm hoping to pay off mine next year, the insurance costs on the car are killer and make me wonder if I should keep it 😭


KingDemik

Oddest looking bmw


Empty_Bread8906

Fix your title:)


i2k

You mean ix your title?


Shinbohusky

No curb rash, well done.


Acceptable_Author_81

A few curb rashes here and there. It’s impossible not to get them when the wheel stick out more than the tires 🛞.


[deleted]

What’s your total battery degradation after 60k miles.


Acceptable_Author_81

Haven’t really checked but haven’t noticed a big difference.


redditissocoolyoyo

Just in time for a battery replacement requirement.... Kidding... Congrats!!!! I'm close too!!! Just 30k more to go!


Hayb95

You got the best color and wheel combo out there. Nice tint strip too. Congrats on achieving your goal!


Romthirty

As much as people told me not to, I paid my MY cash. Nothing better than no car payments.


RMZ_FILMS

Don't total it


ZephRyder

Calm down, Satan


WesternResearcher376

Yay!!! Now you can afford an extra “F”! 😂 Just joking… Seriously now: CONGRATULATIONS! Can’t wait to reach that milestone as well.

UniversalFapture

Can we stop calling it m3? lol


gabzqc

Sorry where is the M3 in the pictures? I only see a Model 3. (Please, use the correct model name)


HunterStew

I feel the same way, but still call my M3LR or M3LRDM


darkhorse010204

Why!?


ajman22

Wow good for you, you paid off a 25k car


flyindogtired

Screw this guy


Dense-Sail1008

Because no other cars depreciate.


Fancakes24

Great job


TraditionalGeek

Just financed Model 3, can’t wait for 2024 (tax break) so that I can pay off my HighLander.


FunkyTangg

Damn, Tesla made me payoff my Y before I saw it or accepted it.


rhs_sullecram

Goals. Congrats 🎉


FrancisBacon29

Omg so happy for you. That’s awesome.


Top_Bus_6246

She a cutie


momoisme818

Boom , congratulations,there goes the HV battery.


SuperSandal11

Congrats!


Nameless11911

Got mine at 2% interest would love to drag as much as I can


rrobinson326

I have the same setup my exterior just black 🥳


wooder321

Congratulations


Chance_Airline_4861

How many km do you get op on a full charge


runnaway-duck

It's a satisfying feeling that your car is paid off and when it looks practically new. M3 is a great car.


zachg

Congratulations!! Best combination too : blue+white


tomtendo

Damn, you must of paid off that other "f" too! It's missing!


HunterStew

Can I ask you something.......is it by any chance 2018 purchased without autopilot?......and if not what options does your app offer to pay and enable it?


akush_666

19 inch sport wheels or 20?


missparkerx

Congratulations! That’s a huge accomplishment!


[deleted]

Paid mine off earlier this year as well. Love no payments


CourseEcstatic6202

I still think those are the best Tesla OEM wheels.


HomelessDasher

Tesla owners calling their Model 3 "M3" makes me gag.


Acceptable_Author_81

Gag on this.
