If you want a Model S, it would make sense to keep the one you've got (prices for future ones are rising and demand is increasing).
If you don't want the Model S, then.... sure... sell it and get something else (and pay fresh taxes, title, license, etc on the new thing, plus potentially higher fuel costs). Or pocket the savings and Uber it till... someday? Most of us are buying Teslas because we wanted a Tesla, not as some short-term investment speculation.

Considering that exact car (assuming 19” wheels and no FSD) sells for $100k and won’t be delivered until July, along with the rest of the craziness in the car market right now, I don’t find that a particularly good deal. I think you could do a fair bit better depending on how desperately you need to be rid of it and how much time you’re willing to spend on a deal.

I just noticed that the price for a new long range model S dropped $7000 (from $96k to 89k - delivery in 4 months) since I looked a month or two ago. It was 81k a year and a half ago I understand.
Similarly, the price brokers were offering my seller friend for the 2018 P100D with 85k miles dropped from $69k a couple months ago (Tesla offered $53) to $55k, the price he asked me to pay (I did).

Where did you see that it dropped? when I just checked, look at picture attached, price is 98.6 for my configuration.

That car is worth $106-$112k right now on the open market.
If it were me I'd at least list it for free sites (Craigslist, FB Market place) and see what happens.
If the dealer is giving you $95k they are going to aim for about $8 to $10k higher when they sell
Do NOT underestimate this current sellers market right now. I repeat..do NOT underestimate it

Do not under estimate how many scammers will try to rip you off in the “current” Internet state if affairs.

Since you're even thinking about selling it you should just sell it and get a Corolla.

Oh, absolutely. But anyone with common sense these days knows at this amount: If not selling through ebay and its protections? Cashiers Check in person accompanying the buyer to the bank while he/she actually gets the cashiers check made at the bank/100% confirmed BY the bank. Or 100% confirmed/validated wire transfer TO the bank day or so before actual handover of the car. In addition to copies of drivers license, ID, etc.
And with it being a Tesla..its not like it cant easily be tracked...
Also, there are a number of certified escrow services for this purpose.

Buying a used car from a private party can be tricky when it comes to payments. An escrow service can help.
