    Crazy low residuals?

    Value by Motorway £42100 today. I am thinking of cutting my losses soon and selling the car unless someone thinks there could be a recovery or a price rise by Tesla?. I do know the facelift Model Y will be released October 2024 so i will need to sell by summer 2024 latest.

    Crazy low residuals?

    Some good news today with regard to used values. Hopefully we are over the worst of it and things continue to improve. Hopefully Tesla will be offering decent trade in values later this year/early next year with perhaps further price drops on the new refreshed Model 3 and Model Y and lower APR...

    Used is fine, i think he was referring to new Teslas

    Crazy low residuals?

    Well apparently the refreshed Model 3 and Model Y will cost less to produce so i am expecting another price drop on these cars within the next 1-2 years. Tesla will need to price the base Model S aggressively at £70k maximum for buyers to even consider it over a Taycan/E-tron GT especially with...

    Crazy low residuals?

    Yes i am in a similar position with the EV's being used as capital allowance. Had this not been the case i would probably be in the market for a used G80 BMW M4 or used Model 3 Performance

    Crazy low residuals?

    I'd buy a used X

    Crazy low residuals?

    And now that Tesla have demonstrated a tactic of reducing prices of their cars by 15% overnight there is absolutely no chance i would buy a new Model S when a Taycan/E-Tron GT can be had for less without the risk of the catastrophic depreciation we are seeing with Tesla.

    Crazy low residuals?

    What i find interesting is that 2021 registered M3P' with <20K miles are selling on autotrader from £42k (new £59k) whereas Audi E-Tron GT's of similar age and miles are selling from £75k (new £85k). If Tesla drop prices any further then buying a new Tesla M3P is basically financial suicide...

    Crazy low residuals?

    I would sell it privately on autotrader. It's likely that the depreciation on Tesla's has likely reached a plateau and i anticipate the values will start increasing when demand on new cars exceeds supply again. The new Model 3 refresh will arrive later in the year/early next year so may be a...

    This is my plan. Several Model Y's on autotrader from private sellers for around £50k

    Wiki Everything you wanted to know about Intelligent Octopus But Were Afraid To Ask

    Plugged car in last night around 6pm with 110 miles and only 9 miles added despite multiple charging schedules displayed on the app between 23:30 and 08:30. Any ideas why this happened and if there is anything i can do to fix this?

    [UK] Would you buy another tesla

    Valid points. I just ordered an Audi e-Tron GT as i need a range of 200 miles only however if i needed a range of 350 i would have stayed with Tesla

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Welcome back to the real world. The market is flooded with M3's hence Tesla's trade in value. They are not obliged to give you the price you want. If you don't like the game then don't play my friend. Why do you think the average price of a millionaire's car is £30,000?

    [UK] Insurance prices - is it Tesla or my claim causing the high price?

    What was your old car and how was it stolen out of curiosity?

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Wrong!. The value of something is dictated by what the buyer is willing to pay for it, not what the seller wants. This is true for all material things on earth. The is why the phrase "scarcity brings value" is true

    [UK] Would you buy another tesla

    I'm on my second Tesla. The first was a Freemont built 2020 M3P with horrendous build quality problems that i traded in for a new Model Y in March 2022 taking advantage of the very high trade in value by Tesla. I also took advantage of the pre prise rise Model Y price so have been less affected...

    [UK] Price cuts

    If i were you i would probably return this car and request a full refund. You need to contact Tesla and put this is in writing within 30 days. They will try and stall you. If you miss the 30 day window it will become far more difficult to return the car. You should also stop driving it if...

    Big difference between US and China build quality?

    I had a 2020 Freemont M3P that was so badly built i had no choice but to get rid of it last year for a Chinese built MYLR which i didnt want. In fairness i took advantage of the very high trade in offer by Tesla so i lost very little but regardless loved my M3P but the diabolic American build...

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Interestingly, Motorway's valuation on my Model Y today is £50,800 which is higher than Tesla's trade in of £49600 last week. Providing valuations hold or do not worsen significantly over the next 9-12 months then that isn't too bad. WBAC do not want electric cars right now!!

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    WBAC valuation on my 22 plate Model Y with inductions and 3800 miles is £38,000. today This is very bad considering i really wanted to get back into a facelifted 2023 Model 3 Performance

    Tesla readies revamped Model 3

    I am planning to come back to facelift M3P next year/2024 after trading my previous 2020 Freemont M3P with very poor build quality issues for a Model Y LR. I miss the agility and performance of the Model 3

    [UK] used value of their Tesla cars plummeting?

    Tesla trade in valuation on my Black Model Y LR with inductions is £49600 today. I paid £58190 in March 2022. I would ideally like to get back into a M3P next year . Do people generally agree that depreciation has now returned to normal and that things will unlikely change from this point onward...

    Rejecting my 2020 Tesla M3P after 4 months of ownership. Sad day

    I didn't even take them on the offer as they were only essentially making a £5k contribution to the brand new replacement car. I figured if I traded the car in for Model Y I would lose far less money. In the end I had to go to the financial ombudsman and I Tesla agreed to pay me £3k compensation...

    using M3P whilst MY in for repairs

    Slightly less efficient yes but balanced against a larger interior space, much larger carrying capacity in the boot with hatch and a more pleasing elevated driving position especially for motorway driving. For me these pro's on the Y are worth the 20 mile reduction in range. Oh and i am loving...

    using M3P whilst MY in for repairs

    Waste of money. Adds maybe 2-3 metres in a traffic light grand prix but in the real world even less. Check out the car wow drag races between the M3P and M3 LR from standing starts and rolling

    using M3P whilst MY in for repairs

    Had both and for my type of driving i.e. slow moving traffic the chinese Y is much better at this

    Do I buy a second hand model S or new model 3 ?

    Driven both extensively. Model 3 is miles better in every single way

    New Tesla Model Y stuck on 6AMPS when charging on 7KW charger

    Hypervolt did change the cable to modified version a few months back as i was having latching issues with my M3P. I wonder if i am not getting a good connection with this modified cable on the Model Y. I have tried a full reboot but that didnt solve the issue

    New Tesla Model Y stuck on 6AMPS when charging on 7KW charger

    Good question. I am able to get 10AMPS using the Tesla 3 pin wall charger. I think this suggests the issue is with the Hypervolt charger?

    New Tesla Model Y stuck on 6AMPS when charging on 7KW charger

    Hi guys just picked up my new Tesla Model Y on Saturday and on the first attempt at charging the car i had no issues with my Hypervolt 7KW charger however on my second attempt of charging the car (last night) i only got 6AMPS when it should normally be 32AMPS. I nearly didnt make it to work...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    WOW i did not expect this. The comments on the video are suggesting the result could have been down to a battery temperature issue that might be able to be fixed with an update by Tesla. However i think it suggests that the LR M3 or MY with or without the AB is probably the sweet spot. I think...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Is anyone familiar with how long it usually takes Tesla to provide a settlement letter for trade ins?. I emailed their financial services 48 hours ago and chased this up but so far no response and i am scheduled to pick up my new Model Y on Saturday!

    Anyone regretted getting a Performance M3?

    My thoughts exactly. Ive had the P for 15 months and the power has been amazing but it is overkill for UK roads and i no longer use anywhere near its potential 99% of the time

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    Thanks!. 20's, black paint and black interior. The car is already at my local dealer in Newcastle so i think this is sheer luck with all the stars aligning

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    I think this is true. Tesla Model Y ordered 18th March. Matched to a vehicle on 19th/20th March. Submitted trade in estimate for current M3P on 20th March and final offer sent to me today. Collection of my Model Y confirmed on 26th March. Surely this is a record from ordering a new non inventory...

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    Been offered £52500 trade in by Tesla for my M3P 10,600 miles registered Dec 2020. I paid £57500. £5K depreciation in 15 months. Not too bad IMO

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    Tesla wont be delivering any Model Y's in April according what i have been told. With demand extremely high i think you would have to be very lucky to pick an inventory Model Y within 60 days

    Trade in values seem high again ?

    Mine took less than 24 hours as i chased them by calling them multiple times. In fairness they advised me to do this as my EDD of my Model Y is this week - i ordered it 3 days ago!. Incredibly lucky to get matched almost instantly

    Accept current 2020 M3P trade in value or wait

    Accept current 2020 M3P trade in value or wait

    Hi guys i have just ordered a Model Y LR which should land in May. My current trade in value on my 2020 M3P with 10,000 miles is £52600. It was a sky high £55000 3 weeks ago!. I do know that if you apply the trade in to your new order then the quote is valid for 60 days. Would people advise me...

    Out of curiosity do Tesla honour the prices paid at the point of order?. I'm thinking about ordering a Model Y Performance now before the inevitable price rise!

    HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]

    Hi guys for the last 2 nights my Hypervolt has failed to charge my Model 3 on scheduled charge. Everything looks to be working fine from the charger perspective. I wonder if it’s a software bug on the car from the last update which I installed last week
