Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

[kingdomino]

My trade-in value just came back, nearly $3k less than the estimator which is a bit problematic for me. I’m debating selling my car to Carmax or Carvana instead who is saying they will offer me the amount needed to pay off my current loan and then some.

Anyone have any experience selling to a 3rd party and rejecting Tesla’s trade in offer? Can I leave it in a pending status until I am sure everything goes through with the 3rd party and still apply for Tesla financing?

Wait what does this mean? Did yours update to be sooner?

Yes. It went from May to this month

Was this your first Trade in value? Or did you have to reapply cause it expired?

Totally agree. I LOVEEE the look of the new 3, which is why I'm super excited about it. But, I will say, I drove my boyfriends Model Y, and it is a very nice ride. The sound system is amazing, it's comfortable, and the size is perfect. So, I wont be too sad if i have to cancel my order. Either way, it works out for me (i guess lol) i'm going to continue hoping for the best with my 3.

I’ve had my M3 for about 10 days now and I love it. I thought about the Y because I also drive a truck and it’s been forever since I’ve had a car and thought maybe the larger Y would be an easier adjustment. But I never liked the look of the Y, until I saw it in the stealth grey on the 2024 model. I don’t have buyers remorse but if I had to do over again I’d at least demo drive the Y before deciding.

I wouldn't even think about cancelling and getting the Y, but after seeing the Y being the almost exact same price as the 3, it makes me wonder if the Y is the better deal

Y is definitely a better deal with the fed credit. Long range is more car for just a little bit more money.
The new rwd y isn’t an LFP battery so I never wanted the cheaper one.

Two totally different cars. Would you rather have a single scoop of chocolate gelato or, for the same price, two scoops of vanilla gelato.

Y is absolutely better choice for 99% of people. It's an suv with more space, and it is eligible for $7500 federal tax rebate.

I went with model 3 because I just loooooove small sporty sedans. (also I might be bad with my personal finance)

Haha that's a funny way of putting it. So maybe the Y IS the better option.. lol i've been venting to people and one of them had a point, he said i may end up regretting it because they're going to refresh the Y in a few months. Whatcha think?

I'm just one person, no kids, don't really take friends anywhere, but I do love the extra space and not breaking my back getting out of cars lol im 5'7 (this isnt tall by any means, but bigger cars do help!!)

Unfortunately they don't have a Long Range near me, so i would have to settle for standard if i dropped the 3

I hear rumblings about the Juniper Model Y. But if you're waiting for the new thing you may never buy. The Highland was a good refresh and I bet Juniper will be good too. Just get the flavor you like, you can always get another scoop down the road.

Seems that the wizard behind the curtain was a fake wizard.

Same I called yesterday and probably will be pushed like you tomorrow. Which state are you?

Arizona. Sorry so late on response. Busy day.

What's the link to the M3 Google Sheets? I'm trying to see if the link I have in my Chrome history is the right one. If it is...well, someone deleted all the data from the Fremont tab again.

Also, I finally got my VIN tonight, with EDD3 of 3/19-3/26. Pretty quick turnaround after changing my interior from white to black on Saturday.

RWD or AWD. That’s what is important for context

It’s the right one. Deleted again. Someone has anger issues.

RWD. Ultra Red, black interior, default Nova tires.

Also, I don't need to finish the Insurance and Final Payment tabs on the Tesla app until the day of delivery, right? If so, I'll go ahead and leave those tasks alone until I have the actual delivery date. Here's hoping the exact date shows up sometime next week.
