    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    I purchased a Blue 2022 Model 3 RWD with 63.5k miles. Sale price was $21,250 plus 750 in fees/taxes, $22k OTD(I don't qualify for the tax credit). Carfax reported tires were replaced and alignment was performed at 62.5k miles and indeed the car has a brand new set of Michelin Primacy tires all...

    Trade In Values in 2023

    Tesla was still continuing to ramp up sales at that time. I doubt there will be any upward price pressure from this. we may see some upward price pressure from increasing gas prices again tho

    Trade In Values in 2023

    There are also a lot of people that over paid for cars the last few years and are now delinquent or going to default. Also looks like consumers are running out of spending power. Add in high interest rates. Lastly, the brand name is a little tarnished right now too. I honestly would not be...

    Going to order a new Model 3 performance. Should I consider the long range AWD?

    consider the P if you dont want to wait 6 months + for a LR with aero wheels.

    You placed an order with a non refundable fee with an estimated delivery date. Not sure there is any valid complaint here.

    Picked up my Tesla in early December, worst car I've ever owned.

    Given the nearly 10% tax on new car purchase in Chicago, it’s very unlikely his car can be sold for a profit…

    Should I traded in my 2018 M3LR RWD for a 2022 M3LR?

    To me this up grade would be worth it. there's a lot more updates to the car than what you have listed. New MCU and 12v battery a big ones.

    Does the bumper color looks different than the rest of the car? Or is it just the angle/lighting?

    New Tesla Owner questions

    Tesla just baked in the ADM. Their car prices were raised significantly in 2021 while other auto manufactures prices did not increase anywhere near the amount Teslas did. Dealers are greedy tho I agree.

    Picked up my Tesla in early December, worst car I've ever owned.

    My wife's 5mi commute usually takes 25-35minutes with traffic. thats a lot of heating the battery and cabin for such little mileage. hence horrific commute efficiency. I bet OPs commute is similar. As far as long trips with the Mach-e it has been much much more efficient.

    Picked up my Tesla in early December, worst car I've ever owned.

    yes because its a more realistic test than what the EPA does

    Picked up my Tesla in early December, worst car I've ever owned.

    OPs car is likely heating the battery the entire time he is driving. Our Mach-E driven in similar fashion in Chicago is getting terrible "range" but we expected it. My wife's commute is 5mi each way. The mach-e essentially is heating the cabin and battery the entire commute both ways. We charge...

    Going to order a new Model 3 performance. Should I consider the long range AWD?

    I had originally ordered a performance but later switched to a LR. I just didnt want to deal with the hassle of removing, selling and buying a new set of wheels and tires. Those factory 20" look great but are range killers, have a high probability of cracking or blowing tires. And finally summer...

    General chit-chat in "For Sale" threads

    Tesla is starting to crack down on order transfers as well. There have been instances of orders getting canceled due to this with no refund of the deposit.

    Model 3 LR Reservation|VIN Assigned|EDD Feb12-18

    I read some articles that Tesla was going to start canceling orders that are transferred. The "black market" of order transfers on TMC is a noted reason why. At this point I would strongly encourage folk not to pay for an order transfer. Seems like too much risk at the moment.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    All valid points. Congrats on planning to paying it off much earlier. I should not have assumed your situation. Most people selecting those longer terms dont have any intentions of paying off early and are doing so to be able to just "afford" the lower payments. In most cases, terms that long...

    Tesla will never cover the battery pack for something you hit lowered or not, your insurance company will be on the hook for that.

    Buying a model 3 in 2022. Is it worth it?

    I bet when supply exceeds demand prices will come down. Judging that there is still March availability for the M3LR and M3P that may not be that far off. No way to predict what Tesla will do tho.

    About to buy...How does refusal work at delivery?

    Basing a purchase decision on the current car resale market is not a great plan. Today market is really an inflated bubble ready to pop at any time. Resale values will return to normal levels eventually. In normal times Teslas did not have great resale values. Nor did most other cars. Just about...

    8 Years with a Tesla Model 3 (at 15k/yr, at least)

    FSD is 200 a month, would take 60 months to reach 12k. If you even keep it. Not really worth it from everything I read. Get the new car. Winter efficiency alone would be worth it for you in NJ. Add in the couple hundred other small improvements that have been made to the newer car(quieter ride...
