Would you be interested in a Tesla Model 3 Performance for less than 40,000 euros?

When seeking the combination of technology and performance in a Tesla, does it necessarily have to be new?

The Tesla Model 3 Performance All-Wheel Drive is offered at €57,490. It’s not the most in-demand model in the lineup, so there’s no problem retrieving it in a few weeks if you’re prepared to write the check. Don’t expect us to try to dissuade you—we have absolutely no argument for that. The car offers Italian supercar-like performance at the price of a German family sedan. And if you want to travel, the range is among the high end of current offerings. Simply put, this car is perfect. However, we’ve often warned you about the rapid depreciation of new Tesla. It’s often said that a new car just released from the dealership loses one in four wheels in value, or 25%. This is especially true with Tesla, which constantly adjusts its prices, resulting in a very unpredictable second-hand value.

What appeals to you about the Tesla Model 3 Performance is this magic trio: 528 km of range, 262 km/h top speed, and 3.1 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. But let us make you an tempting offer. If we add 15,000 km to the odometer and 0.3 seconds to the 0-100 km/h acceleration time, subtract 2 km from the range, and lose 1 km/h of top speed, isn’t that a big deal? In exchange, you pay €39,700, which is €17,790 less! No scam on LeBonCoin—it’s a car listed today, Thursday, November 28, at 5:30 PM on Tesla France’s official site, in the certified used section.

You understand, this is not a Highland model but a first-generation model. But it’s a certified used car, so a guaranteed vehicle without flaws, refurbished to like-new condition and with an additional 1-year and 20,000 km warranty, covering the car until September 2027 and 100,000 km! The engine and battery are guaranteed until September 2030 and 192,000 km. You can buy it on credit under the same conditions as new.

So if you have the means, of course, go ahead and indulge yourself with a brand-new Highland Performance, but if you’re willing to compromise slightly on performance for much less money, just search around—you’ll find one.
