Any input on the Used Model 3's Tesla is selling. They are selling 2018's for like $43k for a M3LR RWD. The range look so tempting compared to a SR+ for the same price.

I pulled the trigger on one today. I had an SR+ in mind but the extra range cant be beat.

Picked up my Model 3 yesterday. What an awesome car! Only thing missing was the new car smell, but everything looks brand new.

I don’t think even my new model 3 had a new car smell. It smelled like dust and possibly glue/adhesives for the first month.

Considering that new LR RWDs are $45,900 before incentives, that's nowhere near enough discount for me to accept a used car. Heck, it's barely a discount at all.

Yeah even with MSM paint maybe adding $1000 it’s still not much difference

$42400 with 4k miles

Just purchased 2018, LR-RWD, 3,600 miles. Was planning on new then Tesla quit offering so found the model and color we were going to order.
Pick up next week...

My passenger side Fog Light went out, was pissed at first but drove to the service center and they immediately replaced it. I’m still waiting on Tesla to send me their 70 point inspection sheet.

For used car pricing how would u calculate a decent price? Example LRRWD 45,900-1850(Federal)=44,050-2500 State Incentive=$41550. Some are being sold for 40k and dont have to deal with rebates. Sounds good in my head I think haha

The idea of not having to deal with rebates is appealing but when you think about how the avg depreciation for a vehicle is 10% in 1st month, ~20% in 1st year, then this should be far less.

If you used $41.5 as your baseline (new w/ incentives) then it should immediately depreciate to ~$37.4 after a month and ~$33.2 for a year old M3. The recent Used car "pricing error" dump prices actually aligned with the expected depreciation quite closely yet people have been so conditioned to see crazy high used prices that everyone freaked out- including me.

Any gotchas in the buying process one should be aware of..

My only issue was getting license plates, took Tesla 60 days and they only put 30 day temp tags on?
They finally sent two more 30 day tags, all worked out, just aggravating.
But, the car is awesome.....
