Maybe a long shot

Hey guys, wasn't sure where to put this but I figured it would be a great place to start.

Basically I'm looking to private sell my Tesla Model 3. (Mid Range + Full Premium Interior) (No software addons) I actually love the car but I have an opportunity to purchase another Tesla and receive AutoPilot and Full Self Driving for free. (Internal program)

Anyhow, here are the specifics;

2018 Mid-Range (18,400 miles)
Black Premium Interior
Custom 20" Satin Bronze Rims (400 miles on tires)
OEM Rims w/ Aero's + Tires (17k miles)
Full 20% Nano Ceramic Tint + 50% windshield
Satin Black Chrome Delete

Asking $43,500

How much without the new rims?

No AP?

The rims will not have much value for me as they were custom made for the 2018 RWD.

Without the rims $41,500

And yes, no autopilot as it was an option when I purchased it. You can add it on for $3,000 via software update

Tough sell without AP at that price. For reference our 3MR EAP black/white on 19” sold for about that much.

Nice, this car has multiple aftermarket improvements I feel it’s still worthy.

 

[ElectricIAC]

Aftermarket *improvements* are usually worth negative to no money when reselling. Best of luck to you though.

The car was $40K brand new, and that was before all the tax credits. Where do people come up with these prices? These are not collectibles.

OP just letting you know that I reported your post to move it to the appropriate section, which is the "Tesla for sale" section, not this one. If / when it gets moved, if someone sees this post, thats not where it started.

Selling like hot cakes

At what price? People can ask anything they want. That doesn’t mean they are getting anything close to their ask price. And in this forum people are more knowledgeable on Teslas than the general public, so they are less likely to overpay.

My brand new LR RWD, 2019, was $43K. After credits it was $34K. That’s for a new one.

Rebate is gone man, new era of buyers are paying more for inferior products than we did. If you’re not interested keep it moving ‍

Why? You are the one that posted it (and in the wrong forum). Now you don’t like the feedback you are getting so you want anyone who disagrees with you to move on? You are a Tesla employee who has posted a lot of nonsense and then become incensed when people didn’t agree with you. This is a forum where Tesla owners have consistently demonstrated they know far more about Tesla products than virtually every Tesla employee we interact with. Sit back and listen to some other folks and maybe you can learn something.

Inferior product? At least they will be new

You are such a fine representative of your company. I hope you are proud.

Your sentiment was unchanged before my listing. I am proud, it’s been a roller coaster but we made it.

Tentatively. Hope they know it lacks AP.

They agreed only because my 2nd set of wheels and tires are included.

Bunch of haters lol

OK, see that’s not that bad of a deal then.

No, this is a forum for Tesla enthusiasts, not haters. And if you took the time to read the posts on this forum, you would see that the main reason the forum exists is because virtually everything we hear from the Tesla employees is just flat out wrong. The company has a terrible reputation for not hiring employees who are motivated, competent, nor responsive. People buy Tesla vehicles in spite of the horrible service the company provides. What has always amazed me on this forum is how few Tesla employees actually contribute. I’ve always attributed it to general apathy for their job and the product.

So now you have introduced yourself as a Tesla employee, and instead of recognizing how frustrated Tesla owners are with the sheer incompetence of virtually ever sales/delivery/customer service rep we interact with, you have just become another one that comes off as arrogant and tone deaf. That is why you are getting the reactions you are getting.
