<prompt> Human: I reserved a Tesla Model 3 and have already put down 1k. I bring home about 1700 a month. Ive saved 4k so far for a down payment and plan on saving up to 8-10k before the car is released hopefully by late 2017early 2018. I will need to take out a car loan to cover the rest of the car and surmise that my monthly payments will be around 500-550 if I decide to buy the car. I pay no rent. My only bills are my student loans at 477 I pay more than the minimum and my phone bill at 57 a month. Food is mostly covered for as well. The only other bill Ill rack up if I get the Tesla is car insurance. Ill no longer pay for gas -- maybe just a small fee for supercharging -- and maintenance will be really low on the car. And lets not forget a tax credit upwards of 10k for EVs. Am I crazy? Or is this entirely possible? I could always lease it and have a lower monthly payment.  <response>: 99 of the time when there is someone that starts a thread can I afford this car they cant afford it.
