Here Are the Cars People Are Trading For a Tesla Model 3
Here Are the Cars People Are Trading For a Tesla Model 3-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:49

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.

At $26,000, Would You Drop the Hammer on This 2006 Mercedes E55 AMG?
The ad for today’s E55 AMG describes it as being in “Mint Conditions.” Let’s see if it costs a mint to buy it. In an interesting bit of happenstance, yesterday’s 2 was painted in red, and, according to a number of you, also raised some red flags in its...

At $13,900, Is This 2007 Jaguar XK The Best Deal?
The most obvious issue with today’s XK is some dashboard leather that’s sun-dryingitself into beef jerky. The seller claims that’s a $300 fix, but could the car as a whole be worth adding that to its purchase price? So, where do you stand on the whole “spider” versus “spyder”...
