Guys the day has finally come that I am getting a tesla
So I want to share with you guys a kind of crazy story of how I actually went through and got the tesla
and then i'll show you on my computer the exact order process the exact one I picked out because
Obviously, I think it's pretty cool
I'm super excited about this
and a tesla's been on my dream board for an extremely long time way back when they just had the model s
And the model x and if you ask my wife i've been asking to get a model x for a very long time the model
X is the suv version and she's basically been saying no. No. No, we don't need it. We don't need it
You never drive your car because you guys know I work from home
And so pretty much the only time I ever go anywhere
Is to the gym in the morning which five minutes away from my house. That's the only time I drive my car
So I go five minutes to the gym five minutes back from the gym and then my car
Just literally sits in the garage the rest of the day so she's like it literally makes no sense
For you to go and get a brand new car let alone a tesla and on top of that with all the gyms clothes
Right now I literally don't go anywhere in my car. However, the stars have finally aligned and I am getting a tesla
It's kind of a funny story. So just this past week
We went to san diego my wife my little boy
Because we thought you know what it would be fun to have a nice little getaway. We live in phoenix. Arizona
It is blazing hot right here right now. And so we thought it'd be fun to get out of the heat
And then also my wife is due in two months with a little baby girl. And so we thought you know what?
It'd be fun to do a little baby moon before she comes before we're not sleeping at all
So we booked a week-long trip to san diego to spend some time on the beach
Now the very first day that we got there
We went to the grocery store to stock up on some
Groceries for our little condo and if you guys have not been to california, I swear
There are teslas everywhere you look so we drive up in a little toyota rav4
We park in our parking spot
and I see two teslas in front of me one clearly is a model x and the other one I was like
you know what that looks a lot like the model x but
I don't even know what that car is. I was like we should probably go online and check out what this car is
So we did our grocery shopping got back in the car went home
Put all the groceries away and I got on the computer to check out what this new suv looking car was
and it was the tesla model y and so it got me thinking I was like
You know what? I've been wanting to get the model x because the suv i've got one little boy
I've got another little girl coming on the way. So we have a growing family
So the model 3 or the model s just really wouldn't make sense for us
and so that's why I was leaning towards model x but once I saw this model y I was like
You know what?
We should go to the tesla showroom tomorrow in la jolla and kind of check out the differences between the model y
and the model x which i'm going to do a video later on of why we actually chose the model y over the
Model x so the next day we made a date we went through and we looked at the differences between the tesla model x
And the tesla model y and why we would want to get one versus the other and the price difference
There's a massive price difference and so as we were going through and looking at all these things I was like, you know
What I want a lot of cargo in my car
Because if we're going on a family road trip with two kids and we have all of our luggage our pack and plays all this
Crazy stuff. I want something that can actually fit all of the luggage
Also, I wanted a car that had a decent range because I didn't want to have to consistently charge my car even with the superchargers
It just sounded like a huge pain in the butt
so after going through and looking at the differences between the model x
And the model y in the tesla showroom, I looked at my wife and I said, you know
what even regardless of price I think I would pick the model y over the model x which is actually crazy for me because
The model x has been on my dream board. That's the one i've been focused on. I love the cool wing doors
however
Even if they cost the exact same price, I would still highly consider getting
the model y which i'll shoot a video later on the comparison between the model x
And the model y for you guys because my brother-in-law happens to have a model x
So we'll be able to stack them right next to each other and compare them for you
So after seeing the tesla model y in the showroom in la jolla and seeing the tesla model x side by side
Sitting in the car being able to see everything
I wanted to sit in the front seat. I want to sit in the back seat because i'm six foot two
So i'm kind of a taller guy
So I wanted to make sure there was enough leg room
Even if I had to sit in the back seat because I hate people riding with me
That don't have any leg room that are sitting behind me
So I always like to make sure that I get a big enough car for someone that's sitting behind me as well
And it was a total winner. So I went back home and I got on my computer
Literally that night and I went to do the online order checkout now
With that I want to jump on my computer. I want to walk you through the exact tesla model y that I bought because
I'm super excited about it. All right
So here we are on tesla.com. I want to walk you through the exact process that I went through to actually buy this tesla
And the crazy thing is is when I saw the car in the parking lot in san diego
And I had no idea what it was. Well, if you go to tesla.com it's literally the top car
It's the one they're pushing the most and I think it's because it literally just came out this year just a few months ago
So you come down here. I just clicked on custom order. Now the first screen they show you right here
You can toggle between the purchase price, which is 49
990 or include the potential savings. Now, this is after your savings with gas and all that which you know, it's cool
But honestly, I like to go through and look at the real cost of the car. So now they've got the two options
They've got the long range and then the performance which is obviously a big price difference right here
59 versus 49.99 if you look at this, the long range has 316 miles for the range top speeds of 135
0 to 60 and 4.8 seconds or the performance
291 155 and 3.5 seconds 0 to 60
Now as I mentioned earlier in this video, I was looking for something with some long range because if we're going on a road trip
as a family
I don't wanna be stopped somewhere forever to have the car charge up and I wanna be able to get as far as I
Possibly can so we decide to go with the long range edition on this car now going down here and clicking next we can choose
The exterior color of the car now when we were in the tesla showroom
We saw this charcoal gray color and my wife and I both fell in love with it
We thought it was super cool. The white is a standard base color
and the one thing that I don't know if I like or dislike I
Probably dislike it more than anything is with tesla
You have to pay extra depending on what color of cart that you get most other car dealers
You don't have to pay extra depending on what color you get, but their white is actually the base standard color
So if you go to black right here, it's an extra thousand dollars. The charcoal gray is an extra thousand dollars
The blue is a thousand dollars and the red which I thought was kind of crazy because I don't like the red color at all
It's literally two thousand dollars
So we went ahead and we selected the midnight silver metallic
Which is an extra thousand dollars and then i'm kind of like a looks guy
I like the look of some nice wheels on here
So we got the upgraded wheels which are kind of like this black on black look
And the nice thing is is they have the matte black finish by default on all of these handles
Which looks just really cool. I think now this was an additional two thousand dollars, which you could argue
Is it worth it? Is it not worth it? My wife would probably argue. It's 100 not worth it
But for me, I think it's worth it now
You got this last edition right here a tow hitch
And honestly with the family, I feel like that's kind of like just a given you have to have a tow hitch
because whether you're pulling a trailer
Or we have this little hitch thing for our car because we throw on the big bulky stroller whenever we're going on road trips
So I went ahead and I selected that which is an additional thousand dollars now from here
We're just to click on next and it's going to take us to the next part which is choosing your interior
Now, I don't know if you guys have seen the white interior
But I absolutely love the white interior. It just looks super sexy. Super sleek
And one thing that I made sure to ask the sales rep in the tesla showroom was how easy was it to clean?
the white tesla leather
With kids right? Because if you get food on it
You can spill or whatever that could be a major pain in the butt which might have been a bad decision to go with
The white over the black which the black is probably not going to show as many stains or food or anything like that
But once again just like the wheels. I thought the white looks super cool. So that's an initial thousand dollars
But once again, I thought you know in the long run
It's totally worth it to get the car that you actually want to get now
The next option is to choose the interior layout that you like so they have the five seat interior. That is the basic standard
So the two seats in the front the throw three in the back
And then they're actually adding a third row just like they have on the model x this next year
However, I don't think that I would even want the third row even if that was an option
I think if I were to get a third row down the road in the future i'd end up probably just getting a model x
Once we have or if we have more kids right because to be honest. I think you'll just be too cramped up in the car
Although the trunk space is absolutely massive
And once we actually pick up the car
I'll do a video showing you guys how big that is because literally like it could fit so much space
It's way bigger than our toyota rav4 was which I absolutely love because i'm always the one packing the car
Right, so I like to see a lot of space
Plus they have all this trunk space down below the floorboards
Which you can actually fit in like an extra suitcase or two down below the floorboards
So this seven seat interior is not even an option right now because it's not available until 2021
It would be an additional three thousand dollars right there
But you can see you can't even select it, but I didn't want to select it anyway
so that wasn't really a problem for me right now clicking next right here now autopilot is actually
Included and basically what autopilot is is if you put in cruise control, you can click your blinker up
It'll check your surroundings and be able to change lanes automatically
If you're coming onto a car and you've got cruise control on and that car is going slower
It'll automatically slow down or if they move it'll automatically speed back up and honestly that was enough for me
And they have this full self-driving capability option which is ironically an extra eight thousand dollars
Which literally last week when I checked and I was going through and buying the car. It was only seven thousand dollars
So that's already gone up a thousand dollars
But I thought you know what? I really don't need this i'm fine driving my car on my own all those
Autopilot options, which are included totally fine with me plus an extra eight thousand dollars. That's quite a bit of money right there
So coming down here and clicking next we got the payment option
So basically if you're gonna go through and pay for this car in cash it's about fifty four thousand nine hundred and ninety dollars
which i'm not sure where the exact difference is from now from a week ago when I actually
Placed the online order because mine was 55
990 and this is all before taxes and fees because I think ours came out to right around 60 000, right?
So obviously you can go through toggle between the cash or if you're gonna do a lease or a loan
Tesla has some pretty good financing if you have good credit 2.49 percent
So if you wanted to go through and do that and then when you go through and make the purchase on the car
Literally, it's just a 100
non-refundable deposit
which is pretty easy to get the ball rolling and then from there they're in great communication with
You via text via email
If you they call you on the phone to kind of like make sure that everything is set up the way that you want it
If you have a trading card
Which we were thinking about doing but we're actually not going to end up doing that
And they just help you get everything squared away
So if you go in and you select initially like let's say a cash offer
And you want to change it to a loan or to a lease or anything after the initial hundred dollars is placed
You can easily do that. It's not too difficult to make happen
Now if you are going to go and check out and get your own tesla, make sure that you're using someone's referral link
Which i'll actually drop my referral link down below this video
The reason why is because you as a brand new tesla owner
You will get 1 000 hours of free super charging as well as the person that referred
You will also get 1 000 free hours. So
You don't want to just go and check out because you'll miss out on those 1 000 free hours of supercharge
So you want to make sure you get that because that's a nice little bonus
Anyway guys, thanks so much for watching this video today and joining in on my excitement to get this new car right here
We're actually picking up a little bit later, which i'll shoot a video of the delivery. It's a contactless delivery
Okay, so we've done a lot of stuff. We've already done the payment
We've already done everything online before we even go pick it up
So all we really need is our driver's license and proof of insurance to pick the car up
And then we get a drive at home. So i'm super excited to go through and do that
So once my wife and I go pick the car up, we'll shoot the video. We'll show you how it all goes
And so you guys can get some behind the scenes of what it's like to get a tesla
So anyway guys, thanks so much for watching if you guys like this video, go ahead
Give it a thumbs up
If you guys want me to shoot more videos about tesla about my tesla my experience my reviews all that stuff
Drop a comment down below with that said i'll see you in the next video
