I would but that's my opinion. Other manufacturers are de-contenting because of supply chain issues. Tesla's de-contenting is permanent cost cutting as the removed features are never coming back.

You also get credit for it. For all the missing features that were standard or part of packages I ordered, I got about 1k off.

Plus they keep raising prices as they decontent. Profit margin is getting pretty good on these cars. So much for the $35k car for the masses.

The base Model 3 now starts at $61,380 CAD, LR starts at $71,990, Performance at $81,490. I don't understand how so many people can afford these cars now.

They never could.

[ExtraSlow]

The $35k Tesla never existed outside of marketing. It's no car-of-the-people.

I'm going to try to flip my SR+ once I take delivery of the Cayenne. I think it was a great buy at $47K (CAD) after rebates when it came with more features and the better battery. Now at $61K, a 6 month wait with a slightly worse car it's a no go.

What's the resale like for those? I'd imagine pretty strong like everything else these days.

I'm wondering how long it will be before I can sell my M3Ps for what I paid. Then again, gas prices...

The issue is what would you replace them with haha

Calgary BMW has a miled up 10 year old M3 in their showroom for over 70 grand this morning lol

Almost nothing else in the showroom either.

It seems like people are asking 62ish before the price hike yesterday. I think getting a car right now instead of waiting is a big driver of the used price. New is 65,500 after GST and a long wait. I'll put up an add in the $62K range and see what happens.

That orange one? I just looked and they have a 2018 M2 with almost 50k km's asking $65k. I paid $67k new for my 2018 M2 lol.

Picked up my 2022 rwd today. I was expecting really poor fit and finish but it was surprisingly good. LFP battery charged to 100% yields 440km which is more than enough for a city commuter.

Nice, congrats dude! Looks like you've got the matrix headlights too. Get those white seats ceramic coated if you haven't booked it in already. You know how to reach me if you have any questions or just want to have car chat again!

[ExtraSlow]

Looks. Good bro

Thanks man, yeah the matrix headlights are superbright and the first thing I did when I got it home is apply a coat of Gyeon leather shield. It’s off to ppf today and I’ll ceramic coat the exterior this weekend. 120v charging is slow, hoping to install a 240v system in the coming weeks once I get all the parts lined up. I’ll be sure to reach out to you for questions/advice on the the car if something comes up!

[benyl]

I envy the headlights. Curious how long before they activate them. Also wonder if they will be retrofittable. The other retrofit I want is the AMD chip.

Enjoy the car!

[JustinL]

Well I'm out. Sold the Model 3 SR+ after 18 months of regular commuting for a profit. It was a fun experience and I'm definitely getting another electric once the market calms down a bit. I don't think it will be a Tesla next time, but we'll see what happens. In the mean time I'm driving my old VW touareg with a CEL iluminated haha.

It's a good lesson on why brake checking is dumb. The guy driving the Toyota is an idiot and cut off the Tesla driver but if you pull off a brake check prepare to suffer the consequences. That said I hope they get an ID on the Toyota owner as kicking the mirrors off is over the top and unnecessary. In fact the whole thing was dangerous stopping traffic there and I hope the MB driver gets slapped on the wrist as well.
