Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I have noticed little movement in dealer stock and private sales. Only the odd priced to sell car goes quick, like a 2020 blue long range with sport wheels seeking 49k two weeks back in carzone. Tesla used stock is definitely a few grand cheaper than a week ago at moment. Wonder will they discount this stock further in new year?

Do they send out valuation requests for trade ins with used stock sales? I'd probably try that plus an advert to compare if selling on leaf e+ next spring.

Recently rented a Model 3 with Hertz when in the Bay Area for a few days, and thought I would share a couple of observations:

• I was impressed with the improvements of the Model 3 from my own early 2020 version to the rented late 2021 / early 2022 car. These have been outlined in the thread above. I didn't notice anything with battery or driving over the few days, but the few cosmetic things I noticed were improvements.
• I was travelling at a quiet time, but I thought the rental was good value. Yes there was a premium relative to an ICE vehicle but not so much that it outweighed the benefits.
• I was surprised Hertz wanted the car returned with the same charge or more under standard rental terms. The car had 90% when I collected it. This might be a SFO thing, it turned out to be not a problem in the end there was there are numerous banks of superchargers near the airport. Hertz pass through the Tesla charges to the credit card used to rent car, pretty simple.
• I know there are some large sites in continental Europe, and maybe Britain, but it was my first time to see charging stations with 20+ stalls. Great!
• The Tesla proprietary connector they use in USA was surprisingly light and easy to use compared to CCS. It is a small thing in the big scheme of things but I was surprised how much more convenient I found it.
• It was my first time to rely on supercharging for a few days as opposed to home charging or say hotel charging. Also surprised me how easy that was with the sort of infrastructure that is in that area. The effect of that charging style on battery health is a different matter..
• Finally, I missed premium connectivity more than I thought I would

You can change the setting to set it as either current speed or the speed limit…. It should be in Autopilot settings..

Loose about 3% overnight too with sentry off, very difficult to tell what’s used the battery as the consumption in the energy app only shows you consumption while driving and not asleep.

edit:

Whoops totally missed the Parked tab.

so overnight

1.5% preconditioning

1% mobile app

1% screen time

you might find out there

Mine does, will be selling it in the new year

Because have a new child and a model y is much more practical

A new M3 rwd looks much better value considering you could pay around €50k for a 3 year old M3 LR. A new MY rwd is even better value since they cut prices. If you really need the range and can’t be bothered with public charging you have no choice but go for a used LR. If going used, hold off for a few months if you can as EV prices will surely drop off as the market levels off.

Question for anyone who crosses the border and who uses the speed limit alert chime: does the Model 3 detect that you're north of the border and automatically switch to miles, or does it read the speed limit signs as if they were km/h, and drive you bananas in the process?

I was just looking at the used cars available from Tesla directly. They've an additional years warranty.

Yes, they do, plus enhanced autopilot and rear seat heating unlocked (if it was so before). Am keeping an eye on whether they will discount further.
