A little over a year ago, I went shopping for a new car. It was a huge undertaking, as I had to be sure to make the right choice for me, and for my family. Not only for today, but my new car had to continue to 'spark joy' for years to come.
I test drove beautiful vehicles at Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW. And although these cars were nice, I wasn't feeling that spark of joy. I remembered taking a road trip a year before in a Tesla Model S, and in comparison, the technology and comfort in these brand new cars was light years behind. I just couldn't justify spending that much on a car that didn't excite me. After all, I would be driving this car every single day! What else, besides your home, could be more imperative to building a joyful life than having a car that you absolutely love?
Of course we all have different considerations when shopping for a car- reliability, economy, safety, utility, etc. My top considerations were technology, comfort, and environmentally friendly. I recommend choosing your top two or three considerations, and then be willing to bend a little on the others (but only if the car 'sparks joy' for you.)
Well, I went with my gut and decided on a silver Tesla Model S 60. I can honestly tell you that even though it cost a little more than I originally intended to spend, I have not regretted it once! I absolutely love my Tesla just as much today (if not more) than the day I first took delivery in January of 2017. I never have to buy gas again, and the speed, comfort, and luxury of this car, not to mention the sexy style, and the high-tech updates, are a constant source of joy. I love being part of the Tesla family, and especially being a small cog in the wheel of Elon Musk's environmental and technological revolution. It is worth every penny!
Maybe a Tesla is not your "Spark Joy" car, but I share this story to stress the importance of choosing a car that doesn't only get you from point A to point B, but also supports your joy and your ideal lifestyle on a daily basis. A car is an expense no matter how you look at it, and there are so many options out there! Car shopping can be overwhelming, and in that moment before you make the big decision, don't forget to do a major "joy-check!" You will thank yourself later, every single day!
