Went from a truck to a Tesla… anyone else done this?


Hell yeah, I made a similar switch—from an F-150 to a Model 3. You couldn’t pay me to go back. I charge for free at my apartment, and the lease plus insurance costs about what I used to spend on gas!

I’m planning to keep both since I have a camper. My 2021 F-150 will be paid off in a few years.

I’ve dreamed of having a Raptor and Model 3 combo, but my bank account says otherwise. Haha.

It’s funny to me how Americans compare trucks to sedans. One’s a workhorse, and the other is for commuting or family.

@Quin
Honestly, most truck owners don’t even use them for work.

Classic compensation vehicle.

Both vehicles are silver. Close enough, people! No need to nitpick.

What are you going to do when you need to haul big stuff now?

I used to do ranch work back in Texas, but not anymore. Honestly, I’ve just been using the truck bed as storage for the last year.

@Sullivan
Big change, but sounds like it works for you. Enjoy the new ride!

I did the same—silver F-150 to silver Model 3. Welcome to the club!

At least the Tesla was built in America. Welcome to owning a real American car.

No Model 3s are built in Texas. They’re made in California.

Still more American than an F-150 built in Mexico.

@Hero
Can’t argue with that.

Guess OP is colorblind. :joy:

Eh, one’s called ‘Ingot Silver’ and the other ‘Quicksilver.’ Close enough for me!

Nice upgrade!

Congrats! I’ve got a similar color combo but with the LR RWD. You mentioned country music—was the better sound system the main reason you went with AWD?
