    Is now a good time to buy a used Model 3 Performance? Is another price drop coming?

    I thought the same recently and bought a model 3p a few months ago as lots did as the prices seemed to be low and just below £30,000 for a 2019 silver car, white interior with eap which were the specs I was after seemed great. It’s done 35,000 miles. So seemed a good time to trade the sr+ I...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    They offered a wall charger for the inconvenience, that’s amazing! But makes me feel left out. I’m two months plus at this point also. What a shambles!

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Just got an email reply with no indication as to a delivery date. But confirmation that even though 2 + months minimum have disappeared off the warranty this will not be added on. I’m a bit surprised I’m even buying this thing out of principal.

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Yeah i agree. There are bigger problems I’m the world then waiting for a Tesla. It’s a good problem to have. But when you have a buyer secured for your car, or you’ve sold a car. Or have spent finances etc it’s a bit of an inconvenience for sure. For me it’s the absolute lack of courtesy in...

    I ordered floor matts once and got sent a regenerative brake part. I’m not turning it into a competition but I do win that one ;)

    Looks great! What price did you end up paying out of interest?

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Ah thanks for the update Matrel, glad you got to put it through its paces! 273 wh/m is very good and with that battery should see some good range for sure :) The sat nav often over eggs the amount of charge, I notice it’s often 6/8% over on longer journies. Happy driving and do wave! Ha...

    2019 Model 3P insurance rocketed this year?

    In London in my Sr+ no claim maximum I’m at £1100 a year. I wonder what it’s going to jump to with a switch to the performance!

    M3P Vs standard range

    Interesting write up. I’m making a switch the other way, from a 21 Sr+ to a model 3p 2019. And hoping I get a fairly decent range bump. My sr+ displays 236 miles and averages 205 wh/m. I recently drove from exeter to London in what can only be described as ideal condition and did 188 miles with...

    nice and good for you. It’s high mileage but you hear or model s’ going for about 3/400,000 miles so I’m sure it’ll be great. Is it the 3p again you got? What sort of range is it displaying? Congrats also!

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Sounds like we got a very similar deal. I got the silver/white interior performance 36,000k for 29,500 and had the feeling it was priced a bit under the other ones around it. But my initial reason to go for this car was it’s depreciated about 50% already and that is a bit of a bargain in my...

    Wow 6 cars, that is testament to how fun they drive though eh! I had forgot to include a previous new order where my 10/11 month wait on a new model 3 had dates yo-yo’d around three times which I’m the end saw the trade in value of my car decrease £12,000 which in turn made a trade up unviable...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    I will chime in, I’ve purchased a new Tesla 2 years ago and currently in the process of purchasing a second hand one and have shared my experience about this latest one previously. Ordered a m3p 2019 and coming up to 7 weeks now and Tesla never un promoted reached out to give an idea of what’s...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Well said. Or give a timescale when it is available. I had the feeling that the car got worked on once you bought it. But 5/6 weeks after ordering the car just….. doesn’t get worked on! I’m still without even a courtesy call off the back of my order off teslas own back. Now I understand a delay...

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    I would be a massive fan of this, for surfboards inside the cabin reasons. It’s the missing thing in my opinion and would help use the vast space in there even better. But I’d be surprised if they do as the model Y kind of ticks that box.

    M3p from SR+

    Ha! I get 170/180 quite often in warm conditions. Hold mode and standard acceleration. I strangely find chill mode less efficient!

    M3p from SR+

    So what would that equate to inacerage miles. My sr+ defo between 160 winter to 200 summer. I have thought about switching the Performance 20’s to 18’s!

    I will chime in and reassure you, the times I have dealt with service they have been amazing. I’m not sure how others experience has been but- loan car, someone coming out to fix the car, swift visits. When I bought the car the wheel had a tiny scuff and they replaced swift. The only negative of...

    M3p from SR+

    Hi all, just updating further to my question about range between the sr+ 21 and the m3p 2020. After near perfect conditions, 18 degrees, sunny and staying around 60 mph on the motorway my sr+ managed 188 miles using 41 kWh going from 100% to 10% so theoretically a 200 mile range. And a total of...

    Just updating here again. Other then when I’ve emailed or called up I’ve not had a phone reach out off their own back to give me an update. Coming up to 5 weeks since order! As mentioned again, that also means 5+ weeks of lost warranty. Surely that was something factored into the sale price...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    I ordered on March 18th and after lots of phone calls and emails was told my car was being worked on now last week. But nothing yet. I did request a few photos, as strange as that sounds just to at least see what the car is like. The photos never materialised!

    M3p from SR+

    Very tech and appreciated. I agree I know it’s more efficient but the bigger batter inevitably lowers efficiency but there’s more in the tank. Dual edged sword… and motor ha!

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Nice! That will be great! I got a silver/ white interior performance 2020, Eap 35,000 miles for just under £30,000 I thought that a great bargain too. So fingers crossed too! Hope it’s swift for you

    M3p from SR+

    Thanks for this too. I did have a mess about on ABRP doing that same thing. But wasn’t sure what wh/m to put in for the 2020 m3p. Still seems to be more range then the 21 sr+ :)

    I would happily take delivery of mine in London as opposed to Northampton it’s been quoted for. Fingers crossed for you. What did you get?

    M3p from SR+

    Thanks again for the feedback. I do get good range out of my rwd but that’s eeking out late 50’s on longer journeys and interpolating to figure out how far I would have gone with the unused percentage. The bottom line is I’m not travelling 230 miles on one charge. The most was Exeter to London...

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Hope you get your car soon also! That’s what I said and now I’m buying one! Trading my rwd for it. It has chill mode and a bigger battery. It’s working out about a £2,000 difference, so I figured why not!

    UK: buying from Tesla used inventory.

    Thought I’d jump in with my order here. Ordered a model 3 performance from used inventory on March 18th. Had heard nothing until I called and emailed and eventually got a call back. But a bit perplexed why it’s taken so long and no feedback onto when it might be. Which is extra frustrating as I...

    Camborne (Cornwall) Supercharger?

    Yea it’s a real thing. Have used it a few times on trips over that way. A welcome site!

    M3p from SR+

    Again that is refreshing to know. Thanks. Initially I did want the LR but second hand prices seemed low and managed to get one from inventory 35,000 miles. With the colour I was after for Under £30,000 this isn’t much for then the sale price of my SR+ so figured why not!

    M3p from SR+

    Thanks too. From looking at this putting areos on isn’t too straight forward with the updates breaks. I would consider that otherwise!

    M3p from SR+

    Thanking you. That definitely is a step up in range from where I am now. Very versed on eeking the range out when needed, will be nice to have more in the tank for them moments! Looking forward to it!

    M3p from SR+

    240 in the summer would be awesome! Can I ask is your a pre refresh? Thanks again :)
  34. D

    M3p from SR+

    This is tech and thank you! So going from this with 18’s on my current rwd and 20’s on the performance I should expect an extra 30/40 miles which would be sweet!

    M3p from SR+

    Thanks everyone for the swift responses, this is really valuable to know. My Sr+ averages about 205 wh/mi so im Expecting efficiency to go down for sure. But am I right in thinking it’s gonna cruise on the motorway a bit more convincingly? Also the golden question. Is my range going to increase...

    M3p from SR+

    hello all, I have a question here and perhaps aimed at pre refresh M3P owners. I've had my Model 3 2021 coming up to two years of ownership now and absolutely loved it. Road trips have been fine. It's a dream to drive and fun. Only recently I was loaned a model s 100D and having that longer...
