Hi all. I need advice on what to get for my first model 3. Please forgive me if I’m asking already-answered questions. I feel like my head is spinning after reading so much.
I’ve decided that I’m not comfortable buying used from anyone other than Tesla - I want the peace of mind of the 1 yr extended warranty. I want awd. Right now, in my budget, I could get a 2018 awd performance long range, ~42k miles (w/extended warranty through 9/23); or 2019 awd long range (w/extended warranty through 6/24), ~25k miles. The 2018 is about $2k cheaper. Both of those say “full self driving capability” - does that mean they ARE full self driving, or that they CAN be if I pay more monies? I honestly don’t think I’d use the full self driving hardly ever. If I price out a new car, lr awd (no full self driving added… $12k, uh no), (“estimated delivery may”), the price is comparable to the more expensive 2019 ($1k more after destination fee blah blah).
Am I missing something if I take the plunge and order new? The 2018 performance would be kindest to my bank account. Buying new would definitely cost the most, but not by much.
