Hello everyone!
I've been a long-term EV enthusiast, having had one of the original Renault Zoes in the UK way back when it was first released. I'm toying with the idea of a Model 3, and trying to make the numbers work. Just working out how far the Tesla Stretch will take me ;-)
With the Battery Day announcements coming up, and the generational shift that might bring to battery tech, coupled with the inevitable recession we're about to hit, do you think this might be just the wrong time to buy a second hand Model 3? What do you anticipate the effects on residual prices for Model 3s will be after the announcement?
I'm also debating the value of FSD - I've heard horror stories of Tesla disabling it after sale for 2nd hand Teslas, and I'm not 100% convinced it's worth nearly £6k for NOA changing lanes and self-parking. What do you think?
Thanks so much for your help - I hope I'm able to join this community very soon!
