tesla buying options
Discussion
Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying 1 maybe 2 tesla's I'm sold on the idea, my wife wants an EV we both do a fair bit of commuting and can charge at home so will save a good wedge of fuel each week. I also like tesla's test drove the y and the new 3 and thought both were amazing.
so to my point I'm not sure which way to buy I keep going around in circles with the best way to do it. we are if a fortunate position so could buy both for cash. we are thinking defo a model y and maybe a m3 a but further down the line.
so do we buy 2 secondhand tesla's they have already dropped in value so getting much more for the money.
do we wait for the new y to come out as the old y's will drop in value. but tesla are doing some good deals at the moment.
get a new M3 or older m3 as they have already dropped in value so could get a m3 performance with low milage for around 30k? or just get a new highland for 40k and will hold its value better?
ahhhh so many options
the problem I see with the new versions is that they seems to drop massively come the time to sell them, where as the secondhand cars then seem good value. but then if i own a second hand car for a few years it will likely be out of warranty and almost worthless?
what's everyones experience and what would you do next time?

We have a 2024 Model 3 LR, and a 2023 Model Y LR. If I was in your position I’d buy the new model 3 first, then get an updated model Y next. The highland is such a huge upgrade in terms of ride comfort and build over our model y. The model y is still a great car but I would definitely wait for the update.
If you're not bothered about buying new ones then it doesn’t matter which you buy first. But if I was buying new the above would be my strategy.
interesting to hear about the quality difference, ive not really heard many people saying the y had quality issues? how do you find the highland then? If you're not bothered about buying new ones then it doesn’t matter which you buy first. But if I was buying new the above would be my strategy.
thanks guys some good advice there. thinking of the M3 highland and waiting for the Y to come out and see how much second hand drops
