Looks like that part disappears if you choose a payment method.
Looks like the party maybe over with GiveMeTheVin
I was told they lost money on over 30 tesla wholesale auctions yesterday. They are coming back with prices now thousands lower then just one week ago.
Right now high offer on my 2021 Model 3LR is $56,500 from Vroom. Nobody else is even close.

what state and miles on your 21 LR

highest vroom offered me was 55

Iām in NJā¦ so no EV sales tax. Iām still pulling a nice chunk of positive equity, but when I bought the vehicle in early December, offers were coming back ~$2K higher.

Me 3ā¦ as soon as my FREE $1K EvGo runs out of cash in it (a year or two) I am back to regular Supercharging and FREE L2 whenever theyāre available. EvGo has a Tesla adapter near my home but it is more expensive than a Supercharger (if I had to pay out of my own pocket, Tesla is $0.19-$0.21/KwH off peak vs $0.33 EvGo)

I did reserve one thru Discord that is in stock. I called in and they told me that I can change to another vehicle without losing my $250 however it would be considered a new custom order so my expected delivery date would be pushed out. The one I reserved through Discord would be ready for pickup in 2 weeks.
I think I am going to stick with the one I reserved. Its already at 60k and I had not taken into consideration that the taxes will be about another 4k.
I donāt see any other advantage of the Performance over LR other than 0 to 60 in 3.5 vs 4.8 seconds.
He told me I can always add āBoostā later for 2k which drops it to 4 seconds on the LR.
LR is 4.2 0-60

i donāt have that option, but it still looks to me like if you had an order prior to a price increase and then go ahead and change it now, youāre getting the new price. not really worth it imo.

Trying to understand something - on this forum, the prevailing wisdom is that one should buy and not lease a tesla. Iām trying to understand why.
I ran some numbers with the model 3 LR. Assuming the supply shortage settles down and RV is 60% after 36 months for both the lease case and the purchase case, you come out about 1800 bucks ahead buying.
If the private sale value drops to 56% or less, then the lease comes out ahead. It seems to me that the risk of the Model 3 not selling well used in 3 years for whatever reason makes leasing more attractive as the downside is know.
What am I missing?
Vehicle Price $50,990
=== Lease ===
Term 36/10
Down: $0
Monthly 665
Monthly w/tax 720
3 year cost leasing: 27875
==== Cash ===
Dest/Doc $1,200
Order fee $250
state tax $4,207
OTD w/ tax: 56647
Equity after 3 years: 30594 (60% of MSRP)
3 Year Cost buying 26053 (OTD - Equity)
Difference = 1822
This is a huge assumption. Before the current craziness, model 3s held their value particularly well.

Newer EVs might have substantially longer ranges. I think that could hurt prices of used EVs. I know thatās speculation, but battery technology is evolving. Maybe thatās already priced into the current RV, though.
Model 3 =/= Leaf.

I think we are a ways off from seeing anything entering the model 3 market space that is going to be that disruptive.

FSD going up to $12K. Guess our cars will gain $2K in value as of 1/17.

Computer can be retrofitted. At least our cars have radar equipped and can do over 80 in TACC.
