Why I Sold My 2023 Tesla Model 3...

[@brivera1]

I’m kinda glad you go through teslas faster than people go through IPhones because then you are able to do reviews on the newest teslas 😂

[@TeslaFlex]

That’s the goal! I will obviously borrow/rent other electric cars, but I like owning the teslas long term

Just for clarification it is possible you won’t get the federal tax credit of $7500 for 2024. Starting on Jan. 1, the federal tax credit for the Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive and the Model 3 Long Range will drop to $3,750, according to Tesla’s website. It’s hard to say if the Highland will be in a similar boat or not but for safety sake I would plan on the lower amount and hope for the higher amount. More guidance will be available once the car officially is announced with the pricing and components.

[@TeslaFlex]

It is possible that the model 3 wont qualify for the full tax credit, but only the standard and long range since they use batteries that don’t meet the new requirements. The performance variant would still qualify for the full amount since it uses the 2170 pack still. Hopefully Tesla changes up some things to get the full credit in 2024. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@betovital6468]

I don’t think the highland will meet the 55,000 price tho as there will be a lot of demand and price cuts for the performance variant won’t come for sometime

[@Rodekuhr]

That is if the highland refresh performance is even released at the same time as the others in the US. Nobody knows about that too since there currently is not a highland performance available anywhere.

Vinyl wrap is thinner and cheaper. PPF is thicker and more expensive. It really depends how much you want to protect the car

[@tupzc24]

Man..Your car was brand new and still was at its peak in performance. Unless you had like a 2018-2022 i wouldve just stuck with it and waited for the next upgrade or refresh in a few years which would forsure be crazy better than the 2024.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So don’t sell it to them! You should always get at least 2 bids on anything you’re selling, unless you simply need the money, in which I would question why?

[@2023byoml]

[@Bunny-pr8gw]

How do people just have thousands of dollars to buy and sell Teslas whenever they want and even sell at a loss like it’s just a few dollars? AND have a garage to park them in? I work 7 days a week and have a 700+ credit score and still I can only afford a Honda Fit.

Hello brandon, first thanks for another great M3 review clip again. Do you think its worth spending the extra 10K for the long range trim? I am from Boston and the weather here is like in Colorado where you live and i am thinking the RWD instead of the Long range but wasn't sure the RWD is good for state like MASS. I originally planned to order the Long range trim but now without the Federal incentives i have to go for the RWD. thanks

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So, after reading through a few of the comments, no one asked this question. Why didn’t you simply trade in your M/3 to Tesla?

[@casualgamingdad2424]

I’m just waiting for Elon to press that button and let us reserve a new model 3. There’s a lot of speculation around the price. Some people think it will be higher, some maybe lower since the tax credit is being reduced. Who really knows though. I’d consider the current one closer to the end of the year with these discounts on inventory if we weren’t getting the refresh, but the upgrades are just too good to pass up imo. Point of sale tax credit is also really nice 👍🏽.

[@TeslaFlex]

I’m guessing the prices will be like $3-5k more depending on trim. Still low enough for the tax credit, but since the SR and LR are probably losing half the credit those would be getting a smaller price increase than performance. I’m seeing so many people falling for teslas Q4 push, especially model 3. I think Tesla doesn’t want regular people to know anything about the highland until it’s available to order here 😂

You can get the federal tax credit only once every three years. You won’t get it again in 2024 when you already got it in 2023. As a Tesla KZbinr I guess it makes sense (it’s a business expense),but as an average person you should simply hold on to the car and accept not having the newest model

I’ll still get the Colorado rebates. Also it’s very likely tesla is just using this as a way to sell more cars before year end. The tax credit changes from this version (where you have to claim on your taxes) to a point of sale credit that can be transferred to the dealer. So it’s possible they’re just using the wording in their advantage.

[@fyeofyeo402]

I thought by the IRA you only can claim the federal credit every 3 years.

[@TeslaFlex]

As far as I’m aware there is no real limit to how many vehicles you can claim the credit for, but you would need that amount of tax liability and still somehow be below the income threshold. If I can’t claim more than 1 every 3 years I’ll just skip the one for my Y and take the one on the highland since it’s upfront

[@MitchellEdelman]

​@@TeslaFlex correct, the 3 year restriction only applies to buying used cars. A buyer can only claim the used EV credit once every 3 years, and a used car can only be resold once with credit applied to it.
