'2,000 miles, 310 Mile Long Range Battery, will not qualify for the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit, THIS IS REAL'
https://jalopnik.com/apparent-tesla-employee-tries-to-sell-early-model-3-on-1819371228 Apparent Tesla Employee Tries To Sell Early Model 3 On Craigslist For $150,000 Before Deleting Post 2017-10-11 Patrick George It’s going to be a while before you, a dutiful, early-and-often voting, patriotic member of the American public, get your hands on a Tesla Model 3. Even if you pre-ordered one, the brand new entry-level electric sedan is stuck in “production hell” as Tesla tries to ramp up to meet the aggressive sales targets set by CEO Elon Musk. If you’re going to buy one now there’s a good chance it’s because someone got cute—or greedy. A tipster sent us this Monterey Craigslist post attempting to sell a new Model 3 with 2,000 miles on the odometer for $150,000. The car is said to be VIN No. 209, which would make it the kind of very early Model 3 sent to Tesla employees themselves—which electric car site Electrek apparently confirmed. That would have been a hefty profit for this seller, as the sticker on this Model 3 is reportedly just $56,000. That would make it a pretty nicely-equipped Long Range model, and given the photos seemed impossible to find elsewhere on the internet, the posting at least seemed to be legitimate. But the game didn’t last long. The Craiglsist listing was deleted not long after it started getting traction on that site, Reddit and other places. (Officials from Tesla declined to comment on the matter.) So what happened here? Again, Tesla won’t say, but it’s entirely plausible an employee got their car and then decided to try and make a lot of money by selling it—although they did so in a very stupid and public way. As Electrek notes, Tesla employees have to have these early Model 3s registered to themselves or family members and are barred from reselling them for anything more than the original price; the same goes for reservation holders. More than likely this person drew the ire of their employers and the post was yanked as a result. Better luck next time, friend.

A used Tesla Model 3 [ http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/835242/Tesla-Model-3-price-specs-interior-range ] appeared for sale for the first time ever giving fans a chance to purchase the car. Hundreds of thousands of motorists who pre-ordered the Model 3 are still awaiting delivery on the vehicle as Tesla work out “production bottlenecks.” This used car therefore is an attractive proposition for many motorists, but there is one big issue with this used car. It will cost a buyer $150,000 – that $115,000 more than its starting price from the showroom. The seller is clearly capitalising on the ‘hype-beast’ nature of the car selling it at a vastly inflated premium. Estimates suggest that a fully-loaded Model 3, much like the one for sale here, will cost a motorist in the region of $56,000. Under 300 examples of the car have been made to date which does make this version of the car an exclusive product, but the vastly inflated price is likely to see too many bids. [slideshow] The car was posted to Craigslist in Monterey with the driver stating the car is ‘lightly used.’ Tesla Model 3 in pictures Mon, January 30, 2017 The Tesla Model 3, which is set to be released in 2018, in pictures. The advert says: “First ever Tesla Model 3 for sale. Car is lightly used with just over 2,000 miles. “This is a unique opportunity to own one of the most anticipated cars ever. “Skip the line of over 400,000 people and buy the car of the future now! Car is fully loaded with the 310 Mile Long Range Battery, Panoramic Glass Roof, Premium Interior, Sound System and Aero Wheels. “Car has been great for the past 2,000 miles and a unique circumstance is forcing me to part with the car. Tesla Model 3 price for sale used car CRAIGLIST The Model 3 that is for sale will cost $150,000 to buy “Fit and finish are excellent for an early production model. This car meets all of the hype and I plan on owning another in the future. “This car will not qualify for the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit because it has been registered. So if you want a tax credit, please do not contact me about purchasing this car. “I am not really sure how to price the car but it is in obvious demand. I understand the curiousity but serious offers only please.” The advertiser ends the post simply stating “THIS IS REAL” in an attempt to quell any doubt about the advert being disingenuous. I guess the question is then, is the most hyped car in the world in 2017, worth three times its actual value?
