Going to try and make this quick and to the point.
Carvana
Sold my August 2019 build Model 3 SR+ with 21,700 miles to Carvana this morning. Great, trouble free experience - would recommend. Sold my 11month old, 21,700 mile white SR+ “bare bones” model for $35,500. That’s right, it lost $3,490 in 11months and 21,700 miles - you couldn’t lease a Model 3 @ 20,000miles a year for that depreciation.
Tesla
Great experience, just like the first time. Delivery was at the Decatur, GA service center this time in lieu of the Roswell, GA Service Center. In and out in 30mins, and car was as advertised.
I called my sales advisor from the first car on Monday. Let him know of my intentions - he looks into the inventory that apparently only Tesla employees can see, and he finds a low mileage 10/19 build 2020 LR AWD for $43,300. I pounce on it the same day, and I find myself watching my SR+ driving away around lunch today, before I take delivery of the new-to-me car a few hours later. I give credit to my sales advisor on this - very responsive and seems to get things done.

Sold 2019 white SR+ with 21,700 miles to Carvana for $35,500. Great experience. Amazing 11month depreciation.
Bought used 2020 White LR AWD with 2,700 miles for $43,300. Less than 1 week from order date to delivery of a used car that is local. Very happy with the experience.
Reason for selling the SR+ was the car has taken a range drop to 206-208 miles, and two Tesla remote battery diagnostics returned the typical “within spec” - owner not wanting to stick around and find out what the mileage will be in 4-5yrs. July-August-Sept 2019 build SR+ seem to experience this mileage drop while others seem to hold in the 220-228 range.
Wanting to share my experience mainly to those on the fence about selling to Carvana, and to bring attention to the fact that Carvana is giving good money for these cars at the moment. You could literally sell your 20k mile, 1 yr old car and buy a new SR+ for less than what it would have cost you to lease one for less mileage.
Pics attached of the old car and new car. My neighbor was asking what was going on after the Carvana truck left, and I told him my Tesla was “going to the shop” for its 1 yr refresh and get new 19” wheels installed.
