There’s a smarter way than buying a new Tesla Model 3 Performance!

If owning a brand-new Tesla isn’t your top priority, read carefully what follows.

You’ve made up your mind; you’re going to take the plunge and buy a Tesla Model 3 Performance with All-Wheel Drive. Don’t count on us to try to dissuade you; we absolutely have no arguments for that. The car offers supercar performance at the price of a sports sedan. And if you want to travel, the range is equal to that of the best electric family cars. It’s frustrating, but this car is perfect. However, we have often warned you about the rapid depreciation of new Teslas once the first kilometers are driven. It is often said that a new car, barely out of the dealership, loses a quarter of its value, or 25%. This is especially true for Tesla, which keeps adjusting its prices, resulting in a very uncertain resale value.

The Tesla Model 3 Performance with All-Wheel Drive is available starting at 57,490 euros. This isn’t the most requested model in the range, so there are no prohibitive delivery delays that might push you to choose a pre-configured vehicle. Therefore, these are logically priced as new… well, not all of them! Have you heard about the Demonstration Vehicles? At Mobiwisy, we love them. These are cars that have the look of new, the warranties of new, the financing options of new, but the prices of used! Thus, a car with only 1,109 km on the clock and presented in absolutely new condition is available for 53,730 euros, which is a discount of 3,760 euros!

Other avenues to explore

Let’s go even further. If the new Model 3 Highland doesn’t excite you much more than the previous generation, or if you want to have controls at your fingertips, take a look at the certified used cars. You can find a June 2023 Performance model in a stunning Metallic Deep Blue color, with only 32,670 km on the clock and the enhanced Autopilot for just 48,800 euros. And since it is a certified used car, you can purchase it on credit under the same conditions as new. And if you didn’t know, its range is slightly higher than that of the Highland.

The purpose of this little fun article is to help you understand that buying new is not necessarily the smartest choice. If you can afford it, of course go for it, but if you want to drive better for the same price, or just slightly less well but for significantly less, it just takes a bit of searching to find.
