Make someone else pay for a TESLA game

[Conscripted]

Good evening everyone.

I've been driving the same Saturn Vue since 2005 when I bought it. It currently has 178k miles and I'm not sure how much longer the motor will last.

I would LOVE to get a Tesla model 3. I haven't had a car payment in many years. The thought of having a payment is painful. I know there are many creative minds on this forum that have been successful in many different disciplines.

Who has the most creative workable way to get someone else to pay for a Tesla? What business models would support this? I suppose Uber and Lyft would be candidates. Any others?

Build a business first. Then worry about the car you drive.

If the Saturn bites the dust there are any number of cars that get the job done for under 10k.

This kind of question is akin to get rich quick scheming. "How do I get a free tesla?"

How about you figure out how to afford one, and then, after you can, make the decision if you still want it.

HOT! - How to Buy a New Tesla For $5000

This is based on @biophase original "How To Buy A Ferrari for 20k" thread from 2011.. At least one other member also executed something similar in the INSIDERS, but since it is private I will not comment on it (OP is welcome to add to the discussion if they wish). I'm presenting a new twist on...

Here’s a creative way, buy a business instead of the car and use the businesses profit to pay for the car payment

use it as the drive and motivation to get off your a$$ and create value.
determine the cost. put a picture of it and cost on the wall. focus and work EVERY HOUR of EVERY DAY to make it happen. set a deadline. 120 days. you got this!

Throughout Unscripted , and iterated again in the recent podcast he was in, MJ talks about controlling desires and wants as being essential to the fastlane plan. He said something to the effect that if he went out and bought 6 Lambos right away then that could possibly undermine the work he's done so far.

Controlling this desire is key. I would figure out why you suddenly want to go into debt for a Tesla Model 3 and identify that part of you that Elon Musk has successfully marketed to. Is it the trendiness? That straight-out-of-a-movie look? Something else?

If you're paying for functionality, that's one thing. That doesn't seem to be the case here though.

This, the answer to these types of questions are use the profit from a fastlane business to fund anything you want.

I personally appreciate having goals like that to motivate you on your journey.

You could try Robert Kiyosaki's "Porsche Economics" - purchase an investment (eg. apartment building) with your own cash, that provides cashflow / dividends large enough to purchase the toy you want (the Model 3), and in a few years time when all of the payments on the Model 3 are done, you still own the original asset throwing off cashflow.

Good post. Self control over time makes your goals reality.

If you don't have the self control to take the incremental steps in the right direction you'll never get there.

I drove a relatively cheap Chevy Suburban exclusively until very recently. I am richer for it.

Thank you for the replies everyone.
I almost feel like I was sternly reprimanded.
@S.Y. @1step I really appreciate the link to the other similar threads.
@Michael Burgess I've read that from kiyosaki. I didn't think of it until I read it again in your post.

I'm still new to the fastlane mindset and didn't think of a car as a "depreciating asset" I only though of it as a car. I'll go back to reading the great content on this forum and look for the right business idea for me.
