TheStradman explains why he\u2019s buying a Tesla Model Y Tesla \/ Instagram: thestradmanPopular car YouTuber TheStradman has explained why he\u2019s decided \u201cjoin the smuggery\u201d and add a Tesla Model Y to his ever-growing collection of vehicles. The Tesla Model Y releases in March 2020 and is based on the Model 3 sedan platform, albeit a little chunkier than its predecessor. It\u2019s somewhat of a middle-ground between the Model 3 and the Model X, cars that TheStradman has been vehemently against throughout his time on YouTube. But, he may now be changing his mind on Elon Musk\u2019s brainchild, after placing a preorder for one despite his previous rants against Tesla and their \u201csmug\u201d owners. Stradman, grinning as he explains what\u2019s going on, says \u201cBoys, I\u2019m doing it. I have made fun of Tesla owners and their smuggery and their silly license plates for so long, and now I\u2019m joining the smuggery.\u201d Opting for the Performance edition, the purchase price comes in at $60,990 before selecting customization options, which is definitely on the more affordable end of the scale as far as Tesla products go. However, after adding auto-pilot and black and white interiors to the vehicle, it costs a total of $68,990. Explaining why he\u2019s opting for the Model Y \u2013 and not the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe like he wanted \u2013 Stradman says that his dog, Oskar, drools so much, that getting a Rolls Royce as his \u201cdaily driver\u201d might not be the best choice. As such, the brand new Tesla model is a perfect fit for his pup. While buying a new Tesla may seem a little excessive in this scenario, it does make sense: after all, if you\u2019re going to spend money on a car such as the Rolls Royce Phantom, you really don\u2019t want the interior ending up covered in drool. The Rolls Royce usually costs upward of $250,000, which makes the $70,000 cost of the Tesla Model Y look absolutely meager in comparison, especially when it will mainly be used to get Oskar from A to B. He also explains that while he\u2019s getting the Model Y for now, it will be a good introduction to electric cars before his Tesla Cybertruck arrives in 2022 \u2013 and possibly a Tesla Roadster in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
