I'm planning to upgrade my 2018 Model S to a new one. I used Tesla's trade-in web page (Trade-in | Tesla) to get a quote.
I'm curious about something: After I requested my quote, I was looking for more information on how the trade-in process works, and I came across this support article: Ordering a Tesla. The article says: "To begin the trade-in process, get a quote through the Tesla app." Where in the app do you request a trade-in quote? I looked for this, including under Service menu, but couldn't find it anywhere. It doesn't really matter since I already have the quote, I was just wondering.
FYI, the quote from Tesla was lower than I expected, $45,300 - $50,200 for an S100D with 26k miles and FSD (MCU2 and HW3), but after looking at what comparable cars are selling for, around $50k, it's not bad. When I first starting looking at buying a new car a few months ago, cars like mine were selling for around $70k. On the other hand, the price of a new S has come down quite a bit in that time. Carvana gave me an online quote of $36.4k, and I have a CarMax appointment later this week (they couldn't give me an online quote). I'll probably trade it in to Tesla, unless CarMax surprises me with a better than expected quote.
