Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

In my opinion the interior of the polestar 2 felt very cramped, nice but cramped. MY feels much more roomy imo

Fair enough, and every single Tesla owner will swallow this, but it will definitely leave a bad taste. Our family has a m3LR, bought just as the grant went away in June 2021. It’s €8k cheaper now, but anyone who bought that car from July 2022 onwards has lost €5k more again

EV’s depreciate less than other propulsions, but the €65k Tesla m3LR might well turn out to have the worst depreciation in its class in any propulsion, for that price. Hard to see the 2nd hand value being more less than €20k depreciation after 2 years

Picked mine up in September. Just saw the price drop news. Repayments wouldn't be much different due to current higher interest. In my situation, I needed more range. Glad I picked up in September. Not at all bitter. At those prices, I may well pick up a used 2022 MY next year to compliment the 3......with included USS 😁

Compared to 2019, the M3P is about 2.5k more expensive.

M3LR is ~7k cheaper today, in 2019 it was around 3k cheaper than the Performance

I’m trying to remember the original SR+ price, was it €49k? I had a deposit in March 2016 but cancelled long before the 192’s started arriving.

I’ve been watching M3 ads on carzone for about a year and for sure the LR’s were the ones with a more normal depreciation curve, coming down pretty close to SR+ for a 2020/21. LR’s seem to sell too at that money, but most of my saved SR+ are all still there, at silly money usually.

there were 40-45 M3’s on carzone for months, give or take, 47 yesterday after this news broke and 57 this morning, albeit €42k still the cheapest, a 192.

has there ever been a situation where a new car was so much cheaper than the 2nd hand market?

Most of the ads have not yet even readjusted to the Tesla reductions in used stock last December so it will take a while longer for them to be parked up before they lower the prices in line with 2023 new prices, assuming 3-4k depreciation per year.... I imagine they refresh their prices against their own market valuation tools monthly, informed by shared data on sales data, and then slowly bring them in line.

I don't think an SR+ 2019 is worth more than 33-34k max these days, say with <50k km. Four years of depreciation on a €46,782 base price (2019, including white and black) and typically lots of mileage. We are roughly at that price minus €2000 again in white, €45660 for a 231 RWD in other colours except red. The Irish market is small and pricing is conservative.

Since boards search function is terrible, I'm unable to find the posts that has the details of what needs to be in the email quoting the relevant section of distance selling rules for the deposit refund.

I know a few on here have successfully recovered their €250. Any help appreciated otherwise I may end up with 2 Teslas next month 😂

Thanks

I saw the price reductions yesterday and my first thought was I wonder if I should buy another! I have a 222 blue on white with the 19' wheels so you can imagine the difference in price between when I bought and today 😱.

I decided to see what Tesla would offer me for trade in with 10k Kms on it now. €29,300 is the number I just received. That's some depreciation (>50%) in less than 4 months. I was offered 46k for trade in in December.

Interestingly the model Y I originally ordered in late October has an estimated delivery of February 18th - March 6th while the model 3 I ordered yesterday has February 23rd - March 11.

Assuming that these estimates are fairly accurate, they must all be arriving on the same boat.

@Dasein , I seem to recall you had put a deposit on a 2021 black model 3.

What are you thinking of doing now?

A new 3, a new y? Rwd or LR?

Great options to have at the moment!

Yep - I have just formally cancelled it.

Not sure what to do now tbh, the whole thing is a bit crazy.

I think model Y LR (I need the range) is the sweet spot for me but I'll probably wait a month or two to see what the next big reveal is - if they're going to bring back radar then I'd be happier to wait for that.

Got my trade in estimate. Dec 2020 refresh SR+ with 20k km. Offer is € 27,200.00

So good luck with that.
