Would you trade in Model 3 for Model Y?

[aronth5]

Might want to wait for April of 2021 when hardware 4 might come out. From April of 2019: Elon said it is about 2 years away:
Of course with Elon's optimistic estimates, it might be 2022 before it is out.

Or maybe 2023. If I had followed your logic and waited for the Model Y for the liftback/hatchback feature then I would have missed 2 years of driving my Model 3 which I love.
Nope, life is too short.

Thinking about turning in my S for a Y when the lease is up in August. I have an old Tahoe I use to pull my boat. I could get rid of it and just have one car rather than an old ICE vehicle that gets driven once a month. Also the S is MCU1/AP 2.0

Waiting on towing information. Also, I don’t care for the wheel choices on the Y. I’m sure that will change.

Replace my Model 3? No way, I prefer the sedan form factor.
Replace my wife’s Sorento? Absolutely.

Well I am out $100 if cancel....

Keeping the 3, reserved AWD Y today.

I have a 2018 LR AWD Model 3,
1 year old with 42K miles (almost out of warranty). The car has been great for daily 160 mile commute.

Essentially paid $46.5K after incentives back in Dec 2018, and $5K for Autopilot/FSD.

I thought to keep the car until it's dead, but the Model Y is tempting.

Would you trade it in for a Y?
I really need a good excuse to convince the wifey.

I would willingly lose up to 10% of what I paid for my P3D+ to trade up to a PYD+..
More than that and we will just settle for having just one Model Y (LYD Blue/White on order)

I hope the US Model Y will get a towing hitch, not like only the European Model 3.

 

[Thunder7ga]

Nope, keeping my car for as long as possible. Love it. Will be getting the Y for the wife once her car decides it's done.

I will trade in the M3 for MY. Hopefully I can lease the MY and save some $ each month too.

Just actually cancelled my M3 reservation for a MY.

Just actually cancelled my M3 reservation for a MY.

If you have the means I’d keep both and see which one you like best
Current used market, you won’t lose much on resale.

Just actually cancelled my M3 reservation for a MY.

I did the same on Friday...I ordered LRAWD...hoping I’ll get it not too long after March

I previously had a 3 and loved it but it got totaled so I reordered a new one ...but since the delivery is taking so long and Y got moved up(plus other benefits), I switched it to a Y

Maybe I’m just an ahole, but I don’t understand how anyone can take Elon at his word with regards to just about everything. His timeframes are wholly unrealistic and he throws around future features, upgrades, capabilities, etc without regard for fact.

 

[DanCar]

... future features, upgrades, capabilities, etc without regard for fact.

Yeah, there are few facts about the future.

 

[jfinephilly]

Yeah, there are few facts about the future.

That isn’t remotely true. That is especially untrue when you are the CEO and product architect of the Company supposedly providing these services and products.

Change # 1:

Keeping the X (was gonna trade X),
Trading the 3 for Performance Y.

Funding secured, Wifey approved.

 

[shrini23]

I'm still in my first year of M3 ownership and I love the car, the way it handles and accelerates quickly. I also paid 2k upgrade for speed boost.
I don't think I'll be trading my M3 at least for another 2 years for a M-Y

 

[SayWhat]

Have a 2018 X3 and 2018 Model 3. Which should I trade for the Model Y that I have on order?

2 EVs would be great but makes longer trips a bit more challenging;

Keeping both BMW and MY gives two cars that are essentially serving the same purpose;

 

[rxlawdude]

We'll trade our MS 70D for the Y. But I'm starting to salivate at the thought of just getting a Raven S. That 373 mile range and free Supercharging are very tempting.

Oh yeah, either transaction will be funded by locked in gains from TSLA. Thanks, Elon & Co!
