You got more on your trade in than I am paying for my new M3.

I've had a Model 3 since September 2018 and loved it to death. So much so that
I ordered a Model S Long Range last June and just got it 2 weeks ago. I traded
in my M3 at Tesla and they gave me $47,100 for it with 71k miles and nearly 4
years old. Less than a private sale but still good for trade-in plus I saved an
extra $3k on sales tax by trading. It's even more luxurious, comfy, and faster
than the M3. I ordered when it was $80k base last June and it had 4 price
increases of $5k each so the base is now $100k for my car. I was locked in to
my original $80k price thankfully but these price increases sure help my resale
value if I ever want to sell it.
My brother also ordered a M3 Long Range last year and took delivery in March.
He's in love with it too! Best cars we've ever driven. It's hard to go back to
a gas vehicle like my truck or if I drive my dad's 4-cylinder Camry sometimes.
Gas vehicles feel so slow and dead after driving EVs.
Tesla software is amazing and smooth to use. I have FSD Beta and it continues
to get better with every release. I have no doubt that Tesla will have full
autonomous driving figured out in the next 1-3 years. Their supercharger
network continues to grow at a rapid pace and I no longer have any range
anxiety.

Around Santa Clara Valley, and the peninsula around here, you can't swing a
cat without hitting a Tesla. We've made a couple of trips over Pacheco Pass,
and we have seen a couple dozen car haulers full of Teslas. We have cousins,
and several friends with them, and I only know one guy who was not happy with
his (a Model X).
I don't think you will get a good deal with a used one, and getting a recent
model will probably get you the mega-stamped rear frame/body component.

We're by a UP Auto-Train yard. The only think coming out of it right now
is Tesla's. Truck loads and Truck loads of Telsas. I would say every time I'm
on the thoughfare that feeds to it, I see between 3-4 auto haulers of Teslas
heading for the toll road. So they must be shipping alot.
Except for the one day where there was a whole line of Tesla's being
driven. No plates or tags, probably 10 of them, and a 15 passenger van in the
lead. Someone must have needed a delivery and there were no trucks available.
I thought it was interesting that every single one of the drivers was talking
on their cellphone (Holding up to their ear, and we're a handsfree state).
"Hey man, You'll never guess, I'm driving a Tesla, and getting paid for it!"

Model 3 They predict Sept to December delivery. $46K 375 mile range I
think. I really like the cruise control. It does lane keeping so I really
don’t see a use for an autopilot.

Which Tesla did you go for? What are they saying for lead time?

Sorry, I started it.
Sometimes it is amusing to watch the Jaime and Steve show. Ken and
Lewis used to join in too but they couldn’t take it anymore. But we do have
the OT in the subject line so you can filter this kind of crap out.
But yeah, I think we have all vented now, and trolled the guys that
need trolling. Steve and Jaime got to make their hyperbolic comments.
So it is now dead until Lent is over. Next year’s lent.
BTW everyone, I ordered a Tesla. My 4th Leaf lease is coming due in
July so I took the leap. Did a test drive today and really loved it. I loved
the last 10 years of Leafs too but man this is a quantum leap of enjoyment.
