Used Tesla Model 3s pricing error?
- Thread starter jboles
- Start date
imagine how many people would have to 7-day return an AWD for it to get 2k miles and only be worth $35k...
guessing it's less than # of people who took a shot on the 7k miles AWD for 33k.
maybe not too many more owners than the 3P also at 7k miles but only $38k.
unless I was stocking spare parts I'd be afraid to buy any of these cars.
So, long story short. They will not honor the price which I figured. They won't even send the car from Fremont to San DIego for free. From 38k to 40800. I'm still debating if i should take it at that price. What do you all think? Configuration is a White 2018 M3LR AWD 19s and 4k miles. Build date is 12/18. If you need more info lmk.
Edited the correct year.

what's their "excuse" for not honoring price? did they call it an error?
They did allow free shipping for a S for me b/c I had asked for Fremont p/u and they ended up shipping in the interim (I ended up rejecting delivery for an unrelated reason)
$49.5k new +$1200 doc/dest fee - ($1875+$2.5k tax incentives) = $46,325 -> Adjustment: - $4k ($1/mi (?)) = $42,325
So ~$42.5 or less is how I would value your used vehicle depending how much resale value you would put into 2018 vs 2019 (which isnt't factored in here) and how much depreciation per mile you think is fair.
That means $42.5 vs $40.8 you're paying. I think personally, for that small of a difference, I'd probably go with New but the math gets fuzzy here.

While I feel bad for anyone here that got bait-and-switched, I'm glad Tesla isnt wrecking resale values as thought!
Major bummer but still a great used price compared to what they usually sell them for.
It's hard to price it last year.. I price it as how much it's worth if I got new. So 48k starting. I emailed my SA saying I'll get it for that 41k price but I didnt hear anything yet..
While at the SC today for service, I asked out of curiosity what a trade-in would be for a LR-AWD, EAP, FSD, White on White Model 3, 19's, 12K mile December 2018 build... 33,900
That is disgusting. Why would I ever want to buy another Tesla new? I can't understand how it could have any positive effect in terms of brand loyalty.

That's crazy. My one month old SR+ with 1k miles was quoted at 33k. No FSD with aero wheels.

Yep... Same price I got, same features other than MSM and black and half those miles. I paid over 60K around the same time as you. Heck of an opportunity cost for having the hot new car. Too bad it was in the shop hours away more than being driven. I am used to depreciation on new cars but actually felt insulted to get that offer. Guess you have to sell these things private party if you want/need to sell.
UPDATE: Tesla not honoring fire-sale prices from Friday not. Prices were a technical error. : teslamotors
Yes! I am elated. Tesla is not honoring. It would suck to total my 3P and adjuster gives me 20 bucks saying that’s how much these are worth on the secondary market.
Now if I got in on a 32K 3P I would be absolutely outraged and swear to never buy a Tesla!
