Hey guys. I took delivery of my MX P100D late December of 2018, and was thinking today that there might be a chance (due to the recent price cuts and free ludicrous upgrade) that I might be able to trade in my current car for the recently upgraded one without spending any additional money. The sticker price was approx $165k and I paid upfront. Today I just went on the online config, and its telling me the purchase price of the exact same config is $108k, despite the fact that “the raven” now has AP3, upgraded suspension and motors (this is without including the $20k value of ludicrous, which will come free).
My car would have had to depreciate by aprox. 35% for me NOT to be able to trade it in for the newer model and net a balance of zero dollars. My question is, is 35% depreciation normal for a 6 month old car with 10,000 miles on it? If its not, what is? In an ideal world I’d be able to trade it in, get the model with new motors, upgrade to FSD, and maybe change the wheels This seems too good to be true though, and I’m not sure how Tesla will respond. They’re running a trade in value of my car today and I’ll hear back from them tomorrow. What do you all think?
