Best car I’ve ever owned.

Same here. Mine is a 2022 rwd with LFP batteries. Go blue team 💙

2022 LR AWD DM here. Go Blue 💙

In the best color, too!

Your cars battery will outlast the car most likely. If you want to maximize your dollar the LFP cars are going to far outlast the other chemistries long term. Eventually a LFP battery car will have better range than the other chemistries due to their more rapid degradation. I wanted the LFP to maximize value but ended up finding a LR at a much better deal. I think the LR will hold a little more value too.

They’re such bargains on the used market for the capabilities that they provide. No other car is as fast and as efficient for like $15-30k. No brainer if you enjoy speed but also being able to drive chill and be more efficient than a Prius… 😂

I got this one used with 28k miles on it for $30k. Other than a micro chip on the windshield, the car was pristine. I’ll never buy a regular car again

I’ve owned my used 2021 Long Range for almost a year now and I genuinely could not see myself driving another car. It checks off every single box I want in a car that no other brand offers right now.

I got lucky, $22k out the door with 24k miles for my 22’ LR. Did private sale and got the used EV tax credit 3 weeks before it ended. Had 2 tiny paint scuffs and minor stuff Tesla fixed under warranty. If I wanted an ICE car around this same price I would have been in the market for a used Corolla, Camry, Honda. So much slower and cost more to run long term.

My plan is to own it through 500k miles. I am about to hit 75k this month.

Nice. I installed an aluminum skid plate and upgraded the dampers to the Hiland version.

I see you tinted your headlights; any issues, reco's? Otherwise mine looks just like yours, down to the removed plate. I can't tell in the pic but I wrapped my T badges the paint color.

How many miles you avg annually? The LFP pack is perfect for people who drive a lot more.

~25k currently but in the new year I will need to travel more for work so I might do 40k.

Best of luck with the car man. Really hope you hit that 500k mileage goal. I’m excited to see how far the different battery chemistries will go within the next 10-15 years. I’m sure by then we’ll have some pretty good innovations to make these cars even more efficient.

Thanks. I am keeping track of all costs and savings. $10k in fuel savings so far 💰💰

Eventually the cars will pay for themselves in the fuel savings from switching over ICE to EV.

If someone comes out with an EV that is smaller and sportier I'll be all over it in a couple years when my kids go to college, but for now the Model 3 is as good as it gets for a daily driver.

Agreed, I have had a fair share of quality cars via company cars, but nothing compares to the model 3

2018 LR RWD. I say the same thing to anyone who asks. “Best car I’ve ever owned”. Hands down. No contest.

No issues at all. I also tinted all Tesla badges

My plan was to put a ton of miles on my new 2023. Since July 2023 I've put on, let's check - 5,058 miles.

2,023 miles annually 5,058 miles in 2.5 years

Our 2019 is still going strong. Love it

Got mine 2022 in February last year with 28k miles. I work 6 days a week, 15 miles to work and back. Just now hit 40k miles on it.

I'm WFH consultant

I agree 100%. Great color too!

Just sold my 2019 AWD with 13,500 miles to a broker with minor scratches for $21,300. Bought 2026 M3 RWD lease $355/mo x36 months. So happy! They transferred my FSD to the new car no charge.

I just got a 2019 with 59k for $18700 Loved that car 🚙 standard range

M3P is an incredible car, daily driver, drag beast, great all round package. Making more and more use of the autonomous driver aids, very relaxing

Serious question: How did you get the pain scuffs fixed under warranty? Or were you meaning the other minor stuff they fixed under warranty? After reading my question I’m guessing the ladder

Yeah the other minor stuff. Trunk was misaligned, the plastic cover on the bottom left of the drivers seat that covers the seat controls had a broken clip. Minor stuff. I could care less about minor paint scuffs on a used car, it’s bound to happen.

Ah nice. Glad they still fixed the issues for you. No matter how minor. 🍻

Got the same one 6 months ago M3 22 SM 24k miles for $19000 from Colma and I felt like it’s a steal so I got it fast https://preview.redd.it/wgmcf88cft9g1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a58ba0050557bf6c392016b6d403b7ff76511b47
