Got my 22 in 3 months.Yes, but those buying 2021s did not need to wait 1 1/2 years to get them. Current pricing for 2022s are about $30,000 higher those buying 2021s

How come used X Plaid is sold at much higher price than S Plaid?
This is only true for the Model S and I'm not surprised. Model 3 and Y are both still in high demand with a huge backlog of orders. $120k+ cars is not a high volume seller and after the first wave of affluent buyers, demand will eventually taper off. This is the reason why Giga Berlin, Austin, and Shanghai are all focusing on high volume models. I don't plan on selling my MSP until the warranty runs out to only get whatever is available next from Tesla. I've accepted the fact long ago that cars are a luxury, not an investment, and expect to lose 30-50% after 4 years.Don't think it's hate so much as shock. People got lulled into thinking Tesla demand was going to be perpetually backlogged and used vehicle pricing would be permanently stuck on ridiculous.
Sounds to me like a very normal (or returning to normal) used car market.All in all I don't understand what going on with all this
Model X is still in short supply and there is a wait. Model S Plaid supply has caught up with demand. LR models is what the average EV buyer prioritizes on. No one needs a Plaid and only wants it. It's a luxury and not a necessity. This is the reason why expensive cars depreciate a lot faster unless you go ultra rare or limited run models. My 911 Carrera S has a better resale depreciation relative to a GTS. If you're thinking long term and ultimate best resale, your best bet is to go with LR on the Model S/X. People need the space and range, rarely do they need a 2s 0-60.Something is really wrong / funny with resale value of Teslas
Here used model 3 standard range (rwd) have crazy high resale values (much higher than msrp) while LR have about same resale value as rwd
Older model X have very high resale values also
Older model S have quite good resale too, but yeah plaid have no good resale value while used model S lr resell above msrp
All in all I don't understand what going on with all this
Nesconset NY vs Miami, FL are two different markets. You will see this if you just scan for similar cars on auto trader across locations.Pricing seems odd even at tesla. Why such a significant price difference between the two. Figure the price would be flip flopped.View attachment 844598
Copy that. Make sense.Nesconset NY vs Miami, FL are two different markets. You will see this if you just scan for similar cars on auto trader across locations.
I routinely see used base model3 (2019-2020) sell for more than I paid my 2022 LR.. That is what I find absolutely abnormalSounds to me like a very normal (or returning to normal) used car market.
Price conscious customers are already more likely to entertain used cars to begin with. The cheap versions of the cars are the most backlogged right now so some people are willing to pay premium to jump the line.
People who can spend big money on a Plaid generally don’t want a used performance car that someone else has flogged. Only reason to entertain that is if there’s a substantial wait for a new copy. Now that Plaids are more or less available on demand, the market of people looking for a used one has dropped substantially, and therefore prices have too.
The long wait time for non-performance versions of new Teslas is what is propping up the used market right now.
I'd love to see more detail on this comparison, but some of the older cars may have FSD or transferrable unlimited supercharging or who knows. Are you looking at these used base model 3 in the same zip code / area as you?I routinely see used base model3 (2019-2020) sell for more than I paid my 2022 LR..

This is another reason why Lucid may not be successful is because they need a volume seller. They lowered their delivery numbers from 12k to 6k cars this year but they've only delivered 1k cars so far. Not sure how they are going to make up the remaining 5k. They have 37k orders in the backlog, but once those are fulfilled, it will die down as their cars are so expensive. Not sure behind their logic to build a Sapphire edition rather than focusing on a volume seller. I understand that they are a luxury EV maker, but BMW and Mercedes both have volume sellers in their 3 series and C-Class. Lucid will run out of juice and those cars are going to depreciate like a rock.Model X is still in short supply and there is a wait. Model S Plaid supply has caught up with demand.

Yes its in canada prov of quebecI'd love to see more detail on this comparison, but some of the older cars may have FSD or transferrable unlimited supercharging or who knows. Are you looking at these used base model 3 in the same zip code / area as you?
Not sure about Canada vs US here. It’s true earlier this year the used is selling more than new because new takes a long time to get it and used is readily available. Today, if you visit the Tesla site, new M3 sr can be ordered and deliver in Oct-Dec, LR won’t be available till next year. In general, the more expensive version usually depreciate faster than mass market model, especially now going to increase in price, used model already have it and readily available….sometimes people are just desperate or too much motivated for “must have now” and willing to pay more and then regret later … I even saw a Hyundai marked up 6k over MSRP for a toy truck, that’s 15% … crazy market.Anyway my point is only that used car market is bizarre. Normally a used car would lose value 1st day out the dealer. Now they seems to increase value instead
S LR are not available thus, used ones are selling high
