If You Won Kimbal's Model 3, What Would You Do With It?

[JonathanD]

As we all know, Kimbal Musk has donated his VIN #6 Model 3 for a charity raffle.

Win the 6th Tesla Model 3 Ever Made - Omaze.com

If you were so fortunate as to win this customized Model 3, what would you do with it?

Selected the first option. I read that as keeping it but treating it as a hanger queen. I'm pretty sure I'd still configure and buy my own car. Wife would probably think I'm crazy; why have TWO cars that you can't put in the garage? Hmmm... now that I think it over some more, maybe I'd sell it. <Ray runs off and puts more money into the Omaze kitty.>

Since I'm taking delivery soon, I would donate it or sell it and give the proceeds to a charity.

Probably give it to my daughter (she's waiting for her invite). Is that considered a charity?

Interesting question. I'd probably sell it, to be honest, since I can't really think of why I'd want to keep it over my current one and the taxes would be annoying if I kept it.

THAT SAID, I might swap the headliners and pillars from it into mine since it's got the microsuede.

I would keep it for good causes such as giving test drives, clean energy rally's and events, basically use it as a show car. I would still keep mine as a daily driver and trade it in on a Model Y in a few years.

I'm pretty sure that they are covering the taxes. On a similar note, has anyone heard if there Is there going to be another Perfect Tesla Raffle this year? The Perfect Tesla Raffle

If they cover the taxes, that'd potentially change a few things.

My own Model 3 should be here soon (fingers crossed) so I would definitely add this one to the garage so that I would never have to discuss with my wife who gets to use the Tesla.

From the Omaze webpage:

"This Tesla hasn’t been to space, but it’s still out of this world. With the taxes covered too, it’s time to buckle up and hit the road."

About a 1/4 of the way down the page.

Keep it and donate my $1000 reservation to Omaze.
