Sell crashed 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+ (Sydney) Locked

[Gtww]

I have a 3 month old Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus Rear Wheel Drive with 19" Sport Wheels that was involved in a crash. The repairer said it's $35k-50k to repair but I just want to sell it whole and move on. The computer works and crash not visible from the interior or back except for the air bags that went off. It's only done 800km.

Open to a quick sale for the highest bidder.

Tesla’s with less damage than that have been written off

This is a job for your insurance company.

Is this like Ebay/GraysOnline... Can I start at $1 No Reserve?

1st post and your trying to sell a write off saying that a repairer has quoted to repair so that you give the impression the car is repairable? It is everything that is not said that is concerning.....

Seems to me its uninsured or underinsured. Most policies would have a new for old policy for such a new car. Worst case would be an excess of a couple of thousand dollars.

Let’s hear the backstory!

Let’s hear the backstory!

I’m guessing something along the line of “Only done 800km. The first 799.999 were pretty good”

Can I start at $1

I'll go $2, but that includes delivery to my home in Sydney as I'm not allowed to leave it.

Thats a 100% bid increase! Very generous of you.

With 3rd party Fast Chargers and Tesla Superchargers disabled and up to $50K repair cost.

This Model 3 is basically worthless. . . . I will say it is less than worthless

With the new NSW incentives starting from 1st September 2021, you can buy a SR+ from as low as $59K brand new with no associated problems so why would anyone want to buy this wreck.

Don't think we've seen that actually occur in Australia. And in the US it only appears to happen if the car is written off.

Here it appears the OP may not have had insurance, or the insurance was invalid (eg. Young driver, drunk driver, track day)

I think the difficulty is that post 1-Sep this model with the NSW rebates will be about $62k brand new (has the upgraded wheels)

Unless you can repair it yourself I can't see many taking the gamble on up to $50k repair costs.

Probably most valuable as a parts donor.

I would be interested , i have sent gtww a message with no reply.
I am a automotive mechanic with high voltage training so might be something we could fix

Awch!
Looks like every single airbag has gone off, quite a significant project if someone did take it on.

Really its way beyond being worthwhile to repair and tesla would probably lock it as a write off, no supercharging.

But as parts, its probably worth somewhere around 10 - 15k. Assuming the motor and battery is ok, there is some demand from people looking to do EV conversions or looking for an off grid battery.

If this is a genuine offer I request that the OP @Gtww needs to respond soon or I hold the right as moderator to lock this thread and put the OP on moderation.

Maybe the insurance company has paid out but left the owner with the wreck? Probably worth a few grand for the battery.

Insurance companies don’t leave you with the wreck. The payout is in exchange for the vehicle.

 

[mrpseudonym]

its all a bit strange. in the absence of a response from the OP, I agree with @meloccom ’s position of locking this thread.
