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

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.

There is a form of plankton known as Corolla calceola or sea butterfly, that is a . The turbo 4AGE in today's Toyota Corolla will ensure it's not a snail, but will its price make you want to slug somebody? Toyota sedans have never been known for their adrenaline-infusing nature,...

As illustrated in The Prince and the Pauper there's a yawning chasm of difference between royalty and commoner. Today's 350-powered Bertone Volvo 262C attempts to bridge that gap, but does its price make it a royal pain? The French, when faced with new dietary guidelines from their royalty, knew just...

According to la biblia, it took but a simple apple to get Adam and his girlfriend evicted from their garden apartment. Today's Group B Ford is a far, far more desirable forbidden fruit, but will you find its price is rotten to the core? Speaking of the bible - for...

The Mercury Grand Marquis may have put the aunt in the Panther platform, but today's three pedal special may just erase that octogenarian image. But, will its price make it old news? Turning Japanese by the eighties band, the Vapors, may seem a xenophobic screed, but really it's just about...

While the bitchin Camaro still lives, its cousin, the Pontiac Firebird has long been pushing up daisies. Today's off-roader f-bird would more likely tear up those daisies, but does it come with a price that's pushing it? Inoffensive universal appeal, that's what makes music by Kenny G, hand jobs, and...

Citroën's 2CV is so basic and elemental, it's hard to imagine it could be deconstructed any further. Today's Mehari does just that, being little more than a plastic dog dish on wheels, but will its price bowl you over? Not plastic, but instead all kinds of heavy metal was yesterday's...
