Model 3's being flipped for the rebate and used resale at MSRP, for how long?

It would be ideal if Tesla would report on the Model 3 backlog of people that have reservations but they won't provide that data, all we have is the reservation estimator. If you look to sell your car when there is ~6 months minimum wait tile for a new Model 3, you should be able to limit the depreciation. Once Tesla can start supplying the market to its demand like the Model S/X, the depreciation will be like any other Tesla.

There is no federal rebate. And the federal tax credit can vary anywhere from $0-$7500 depending on an individuals tax situation.

One option to consider for taking advantage of the full tax credit is to make a partial 401k to Roth conversion at yearend. But consult a tax person for details.

I would be interested in hearing from and purchasing a someones trade-in.

Its pretty common in the exotic car world to register a car in Montana under an LLC.

Seems like creating a Montana LLC to purchase the Model 3 without paying sales tax would jeopardize the $7500 tax credit, since it's owned by the LLC.
