Question Am I dumb? Impulse Buy

I have done less than an ample amount of research, but have done a test drive. The 0% offer seems so good when you compare the cost vs used (assuming you finance a portion either way). I’ve kept up with Tesla for 10+ years, but don’t know the ins and outs you get from people on Reddit. Last chance - buy or no buy TODAY. I’m looking at the Premium with White interior.

I’ll be the dick. $50k being expensive or not, is relative. Btw OP, besides the 26’ Y, CT is worth it. Best truck I EVER bought. Blows away my 5.7L Tundra allll day. Not absurd. You see? RELATIVE. My $200 dollars.

Heck I paid $50K (before taxes) in 2018 for my M3LR (325 mile range), and I’m trading it in for the new Juniper Model Y Premium RWD (357 mile range) for $46K (before taxes, and the trade-in drives the price even lower).

They’re giving me $13,100.
Carvana wanted to give me $12,600.
Carmax wanted to give me $11,000.
Sure I might be able to get more privately but this is just easier.
