Here Are the Cars People Are Trading For a Tesla Model 3
Here Are the Cars People Are Trading For a Tesla Model 3-October 2024

Now that has finally reached its , it’s comfortable bragging a little bit about the car and its owners. In today’s investor call, the company released a list of the cars people are trading in for the .

The list isn’t necessarily very surprising, with a range of cars that fit a spectrum of comparable features, practicality and price to the Model 3. It’s important to note that the $35,000 Model 3 trim is still not available, and Tesla noted that this list doesn’t include people that trade older Teslas for a new one.

It also wasn’t clear if these were listed in a specific ranking or order, but here they are; the cars people most trade for a Tesla Model 3 are the Toyota Prius, BMW 3 Series, Honda Accord, Honda Civic and Nissan Leaf.

The Prius and Leaf are interesting, because they’re electrified vehicles that either lack being full EV, or lack anywhere near the range capability and qualities of the Tesla. It’s a shame, the Prius was.

The Hondas are interesting, especially the Civic. Perhaps buyers looking to upgrade from the Civic are turning to the Model 3, as there is a fairly notable price increase between it and a Civic. And then the 3 Series is just funny if you think about BMW’s a couple of years ago.

Did you order a Model 3? If so, what car are you replacing? I’m more interested in knowing how many Model 3 owners are first-time electrified vehicle shoppers, and how many deposit holders chose the Model 3 as their first new car.

Do You Feel Bad For People Who Spend Way Too Much On A Car?
Do You Feel Bad For People Who Spend Way Too Much On A Car?
Now before you get all riled up, the video below is a parody. The couple had a Tesla Model X for a 24-hour test drive. They thought it was cool, but couldn’t get over the price and ultimately gave it back. But it’s made me wonder something else: do you...

The woman crossing the street, holding her small daughter’s hand, squinted at the grille of my while it waited at a red light. Behind the wheel, I watched her face. She wasn’t displeased, exactly—more perplexed. Puzzled at the unfamiliar grille and the winged logo on the nose of the car,...

I’m about to complain. Not about the , that thing is damn near perfect. I’m about to complain about my life, and you’re going to hate me for it. Welcome to my world: New York City, where king rats rule from greasy concrete spires and the rest of us elbow...

For $5,999, Could This 1990 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Have You Waving The Union Jack?

It goes without saying, in light of the recent terrorist attacks there, that we stand with Great Britain. Similarly, today’s Jag XJS stands as one of that nation’s most laudable automotive achievements. But will its price stand up to scrutiny? Poor-shaw/Poorshh. You know, we’re so freaking lazy that we can’t...

Porsche long ago switched their lineup from air-cooling to that by water. Today’s 914 is playing catch up, but does that catching up come at too high a cost? Well, I guess we answered the question as to whether the second generation Hyundai Tiburon is a future classic, and according...

This Is The Dumbest Excuse For A Dealer To Not Offer You A Competitive Price
This Is The Dumbest Excuse For A Dealer To Not Offer You A Competitive Price
If you’re shopping for a new car, some dealers will come up with all kinds of reasons why they can’t offer you a better price. Some of these reasons are legitimate, but saying there are no or deals to be had definitely isn’t one of them. Rebates and incentives are...
