3 days left on eBay Motors. No bids at $45k! Will it sell, or will I continue to drive it merrily? We shall see come this weekend either way.

Now with 100% more eBay Motors ad goodness! in case there's any actual resale market for Model 3s in this economic climate. 2018 Tesla Model 3 Full Self Driving, Acceleration Boost, Long Range AWD | eBay

May 20 trade-in quote, good for 1 month. The thing is I don't really want a different Tesla at this point. What I have now is this 3, a Land Cruiser, and a Pacifica Hybrid. (3 kids, bike + ski habits, and a fondness for things made in the Tahara plant.) The wife loves her minivan so it's not...

Also note that Tesla's trade-in offer for this very car is $43,000. Accounting for the sales tax benefit on a trade-in that's worth just under $47k in my city and county. I'm in no hurry to sell if indeed I'm going to sell, and the economic climate for many has been rather bleak the last few...

Thanks! Buy another one for a matching pair!

Bump. Now also listed on CarGurus, who will handle the whole escrow/lien business as well. $46,750 as listed there at the moment: Used Tesla Model 3 for Sale in Dupont, CO - CarGurus

Idle bump. A bit over 15k miles on it now. All seasons are back mounted, the Nokians bagged in the shed. Traffic control and stop sign detection working like it should, replete with annoying limitation of Autosteer to the speed limit.

My 3 is from the same era. Possibilities for it: - non-adaptive cruise control - EAP, so should have Summon and auto lane changing - FSD, which until HW3.0 upgrade is complete offers nothing above EAP

Thanks! If it doesn't sell then that's totally fine with me as well. It's probably the best overall vehicle I've owned, and I've had quite a few over the years thanks to a bit of automotive ADHD.

Thanks! Yes, good eye. We live in Willow Park East, north of Northfield, south of Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

Forum is limiting me to 10 uploaded photos. For sale: 2018 Model 3, Dec 2018 build date. 12/28/2018 in-service date for warranty countdown. Bought and lives in Denver, CO. 14.863 miles as of this morning. Photos are from this morning, similarly. Long Range AWD, midnight silver, 18" Aero...

I average about 262 Wh/mile year in, year out. This is in Denver with snow tires on for about 6 months of the year, using the heater and defroster whenever it's appropriate. In summer months I'm closer to 220 Wh/mile. Reported range with 90% charge on LR AWD is anywhere from 275-282 miles...

I've noticed several such bugs/"features": 1) Sensing a curve ahead or a zone marked as an off- or on-ramp, then it'll slow to the speed limit if not below yet. 2) Random jumpiness due to shadows on the road. 3) Consistent lowering of the cruise speed limit to 40 or 30 mph when its GPS maps...

I haven't browsed the prior pages but I've had experience with two sets of winter tires on my 3 thus far. Context is of skiing regularly at the front range resorts around Denver. 1st set was Hankook Winter i'Cept Evo 2. Terrible. Decent longitudinal traction but poor lateral and bad breakaway...

I've been driving more or less my normal amount. I have been parking out in the driveway more often and charging once a week or so, though, as that makes getting kids' bikes and the wife's electric cargo trike (yes, that's a thing) in and out easier. /me is an essential worker, for better or worse
