<prompt> Human: So, as some of you might have noticed, the Tesla Model 3 was announce the other day. I reserved my shortly after it started so I expect to be getting mine sometime first quarter 2018. My question is this. Knowing pretty much exactly- 6 months when I will need the money and it being so far off, what would be the best way to put away money to make paying for it easier?Im looking for something that would be difficult to raid, but easy to adjust what I put into it. The base model is going to be 35K but I expect I will be wanting one in the 55-60K zone. The reason I want to start getting ready for it now is, normally that would be on the extreme side of my budget, but I feel like I will be in a position to afford it when the time comes. I expect my credit score to be in the mid to high 700s by then, but no extra money, besides whatever I setup to get ready for the purchase.  <response>: You already mentioned CDs in one of your comments so in terms of meeting the difficult to raid, high interest rate criteria, you probably already know this is one of the better options. That being said, its not going to set you up beyond what you have already saved or are able to pay on a monthly basis. At least not between now and 2018. And if youre making 77K gross, a 60K car isnt something you should be putting your money in to. I know this isnt the advice you want to hear. Ive been waiting for this car for forever and stood in line myself to make this reservation so believe me, I know how much you want it. Its going to be hard to convince you NOT to get it, but Id consider sticking with the base model. Or if theres a lease option, consider that. At your income, you can be dropping 60k on something that doesnt depreciate.Again, I know thats not what you asked or wanted to hear. So going back to it, I think a CD meets your criteria.
