Is supply and demand so bad for model 3 SR+ right now to the point people are making big profit selling their allocation in ontario?

[coolmanfever]

Was browsing around kijiji to get a sense of used model 3 market in onatrio. Someone just posted this ad asking for 17k to sell his allocation.

Looks like robbery to me. I thought legacy dealership was bad jacking up car prices. I guess some tesla customers are greedy or out of touch of reality. Your thought?

...17k...

Some people swear they can sell/buy reservations since 2012 with the price as much as $12,500 on eBay but I haven't heard any successful story:

Tesla Model S Depositors: You Can't Sell Your Reservation, Legally

There's lots of interest in the award-winning Tesla Model S electric luxury sport sedan about now. With production slowly ramping up, even the wealthiest electric-car fans have to wait as Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA] works through its 14,000 reservations. So, perhaps the impatient among them may...

There have been cases that Tesla would make an exception for family members.

The Kijiji seller is an a-hole, IMO. No one should be that dumb enough to fall for that.

Disgusting that people are so greedy, but sad if people were to be desperate enough to accept that

In Quebec, some people are taking advantage of the demand for used EVs (mostly the 3 SR+) by pocketing the government rebates, then reselling out-of-province as soon as allowed (after one year).

There are even brokerage services that seem to specialize in this type of export. Since the Quebec government is offering a generous $8,000 rebate on EVs to fight climate change, they shouldn't be happy when cars are shipped to provinces where electricity isn't as clean after just one year.

Wow, he's asking $58,500 for a car he paid about $46,000 for after tax and rebates.

Just today there was article in French about Quebec Teslas being resold for profit in Ontario.

Subventionnées ici puis revendues en Ontario - La Presse+

Des centaines de voitures électriques Tesla Model 3 subventionnées par Québec ont été revendues avec « un profit intéressant » en Ontario au cours des trois dernières années, un phénomène inattendu et nettement en croissance en raison de la rareté du modèle et

I am located in Montreal and sold my 2020 SR+ on Facebook Marketplace 3 weeks ago. My buyer was located in Eastern Quebec and never asked to see the car before he purchased it (other that the photos I have used for the listing). Although he claimed It was for his wife, I wouldn't be surprised if it was for an eventual resale since he's a used car dealership. With that being said, it's not called robbery, it's called supply and demand. I sold it because I could get an LR rapidly and take advantage of the current market. I personally would never pay these prices for a used SR+ but it looks like some people are willing to do it instead of waiting for a new one. Grants or not, people in Quebec, Ontario or elsewhere are willing to pay close to MSRP for a used car.

It's a crazy market out there.

This is quite different then what the OP was posting about , selling your allocation.
Good for you.
