WTB: in Austin, TX < $50k - that benefits from owner to owner transfer

[wegortw]

Honestly every Tesla owner wants too much for their used car and I get it, who wouldn't. But I am looking for the owner who wants to get more than trade-in or CarMax / Carvana and doesn't want to strip their previous Tesla of the Supercharging for life etc. Honestly buying new from Tesla or their own pre-owned is the way to go price wise; except you don't get fusc anymore!

If you are selling something for < $50k (prefer older MS) and it still has Free Lifetime Supercharging or other perks that you only get owner to owner; then I am interested.

Are you hoping to use Supercharging as your primary source or are you planning to go on a road trip, or something else?

Just to get the option for road tripping for free; saying it’s overrated?

There certainly is value in unlimited free supercharging. But any car with that feature that the owner is willing to sell for less than $50k probably is a worn out car or very slow charging and wouldn't be an enjoyable experience.

I'm also not sure you're going to find it anyway. Tesla vehicles are valued pretty high right now. And gas prices are expected to bounce back up, driving up the value/price of EVs again.

Unless you use supercharging as your only source, free supercharging is way overrated in value. Every year I drive a 1,600 mile round trip and I take long enough trips once a month or so where I need to use supercharging. Other than that, I charge at home. YMMV but for me, on my typical monthly trip, supercharging costs me about $5-$7. Every Thanksgiving, I drive to Phoenix to see my mom (trip is about 1,600 round trip); I stop 10 times to charge in total...rough average of $10-$20 per session so let's say $200. Basically, $250-$300/year for supercharging. The car will wear out before the amount of free supercharging makes a difference. I'd be spending at least double in gas so my real savings are half that amount...making the effect even less.

Yeah ideally I am trying to find that sweet spot unicorn of FUSC + FSD + AP3 ~ basically limits me to a 2017 model and Tesla CPO has several of them but now they strip the fusc on the resell

 

[SilverString]

Overrated or not, these days FUSC is more valuable than ever due to higher gas prices and increased supercharger availability. Far more valuable than when the FUSC perk was being offered. I took a 5k road trip this summer with gas at $5-$6 a gallon and supercharger rates climbing, all for free. The first 2 1/2 years I had my MS there were no superchargers near me, now there are two V3 banks so close and conveniently located that I do about half my charging at them.

Will you sell me your car for less than $50k?

I know you think I am Crazy, but if Tesla CPO can sell it for $52k; then someone traded it in for likely $40k; and I would be happy to pay them more than their trade in cost - https://www.tesla.com/ms/order/5YJSA1E12GF174371#overview

Another one for $48k but no FSD included - Inventory | Tesla

 

[Chris Redfield]

My 2014 S85 was bought for 31k in 2021.
No AP but free Supercharging for life.
These days CarMax wants to give me 35,000 for it.
Just a general frame of reference.
I know the OP wants FUSC + FSD + AP3.
I have only FUSC.

 

[Johnson Lee]

I have a Model S with FUSC. I’m willing to sell it for $50k. If you’re interested, I sent you a PM and we can go from there. Feel free to ask me questions too.

Ended up buying a new 2023 M3 in the last week of 2022

WooHoo!
