Tesla has offered to buyback my Jan/2018 Model 3 (I’ll post the details later once the transaction is finalized). I’m posting this thread here as it seems many early X owners were offered buybacks.
My question: I want to buy an X instead of getting another 3. Tesla says they will cut a check to me for my 3, then I can buy the X in a separate transaction. This is not ideal because in my state (WA), I only pay sales tax (10%) on the difference of purchase price - trade in value. So by not trading in, it will cost me almost $6K. Has anyone successfully traded in their lemon Tesla on a new Tesla instead of separate transactions? (Comments or PMs welcome if preferred)
