Does anyone know the documented Model 3 price history?

[Garlan Garner]

I bought the Performance Model 3 with Performance Upgrade, upgraded paint, Enhanced Autopilot and FSD. I also got free supercharging for life and I use it a lot when I drive. Hard to compare my deal with what people get today as the supercharging is worth A LOT to me because I drive long distances (25000 miles in 5 months), and I bought right when my old ICE car was dying so it was the right time for me. I'm satisfied, except my autopilot computer is completely dead and I need a replacement but that's another story. (hopefully it's hardware version 4 or FSD computer version they replace it with).

I'm at 27k in 7 months...

right there with ya.

If you purchased your car for $30k and Tesla sold everyone else on the planet their cars for $3k.....you would be just fine....right?

All I can say is - good for you.

If inequality doesn't mean anything to you...then fine, but don't suggest that no one else should step up and fight it.

Inequality? Seriously? It’s a business transaction. Welcome to capitalism.

I see You didn't answer the question - you know.....the business transaction question.

Simply: Yes.

I don’t worry about other peoples’ transactions. What they negotiate for and execute isn’t my concern.

Look, I also own a Buick Enclave. I love it - best large family hauler on the market in my book. I bought it right at launch in late 2017. I’m seeing ads now for discounts on it.

There’s probably people out there who paid less than I did. Do I care? Not a whit. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

What equality are you striving for here? Are you going to write Tesla a check if the price goes up?

Having a price history is useful for used car valuations. A general rule of thumb is that cars typically depreciate 50% in 3 years, give or take.
