I just cleared space in my stable for a new car and I plan to order a Tesla Model 3 in about 2 months. With the current expected delivery timeframe of 8-12 weeks, I will receive the car as early as October or as late as November. I'm completely fine with that delivery window. In the interim, like any informed buyer, I'm watching the used car market closely and would entertain a used M3 if what I like pops up for a reasonable asking price. What has baffled me is what people are asking for their used cars relative to the actual market. Why would I spend thousands more or the same price for a used vehicle when I can simply go on the Tesla website and order new or select from current inventory? I can also benefit from 1,000 miles of SC with a referral code and collect an incentive from an end of quarter push (if applicable). You also instantly bypass stories, logistics to retrieve the car, used auto loan interest rates (if financing), negotiating, and the list goes on.
These cars aren't allocated like a Porsche GT3 for example. Other than not being able wait a couple months or a few days, what's the draw? I'm not trying to be facetious, I'm legitimately trying to understand if I'm missing something here. Can one of you savvy vets break it down?
