took delivery of a 23' model 3, 34k miles almost brand new.

taking deliver or getting it towed? either way, glad you enjoy the car!

He got it from Carvana. They deliver it to your house directly.

Congrats!

lol, on picture 2, why not just post the picture instead of a screen shot of your phone screen?

34k miles isn’t almost new?

The car is almost new to the person that bought it. If I was 20 and bought that car I would say almost new also. Especially if the person has only been driving beaters or other peoples cars. Tear down assholes that have it coming, leave the innocent alone.

Congrats on the new car!

Maybe not new to you.

That red is slick!

Did they replace the wheels? Because those are from an older 2020 era Tesla not a 2023.

Ok papi

Yes papi

Not sure in this situation, but sometimes Reddit has a mb limitation and screenshot is a simplistic way to get a lower res picture

Very nice car! Congrats! Enjoy it

Almost 3 years old and 34k miles what about that is brand new?

I'm sure ur fun at parties

Aren’t they the 19 inch sport painted black

That’s pretty good, my 22’ from hertz, had 93k when I got it.

Similar design but no. The 19 inch are flatter for 2022-2023. I was able to find these exact one. These are the sport wheels from 2018-2021 model 3. Wheels were changed for whatever reason.

I got my 2022 M3 like 6 months ago with 24k miles and it still had a new car smell and drove like a brand new car, interior was flawless, owner barely drove it, was a secondary car for them. I’d consider that “almost brand new.” To others if their car has even 100 miles it’s not “brand new.” Everyone’s different….

Congrats, is it a LR with the performance badging? Little confused since it’s on 19 inch rims with the base brake calipers w/ the badge. They stopped the “stealth” performances back in like 2019 so I know it’s not that.

No, new vs used is pretty objective but whatever makes you feel good. That’s what matters, right?

You got a post lease Tesla which is great because leases are well kept vs financed cars

It doesn’t look 23’ long

Yes. It’s new to someone. Just cause you not happy with life, others can

No need to project so hard By your logic any car someone buys is “basically brand new” because it’s new to them. Hilarious.

Ooo I see you’re too broke to buy a new Y so want validation that used is a better choice. Makes sense now.

I mean I agree with you but this is nothing to get upset over

lol you digging in? Hopefully you find happiness one day

Lol for real

Huh? lol…trust me I don’t need to show off

You look so happy! Enjoy your new 3 Cheers

Smile says it all!! Congrats and enjoy it!!

Don’t gaslight me. I’m not upset just calling it like it is

The only person “showing off” is op with a used 3. Big woof

Leases are far more abused. The person knows they aren’t keeping the car It’s also got swapped wheels and a performance badge on a non performance. This wasn’t bought from Tesla which is nearly the only way to get a lease return

Interesting I had different experience because any abuse to a Tesla lease they just take an arm and a leg on return.

Lol

Congrats!!!

Congratulations. To be young and have such a powerful car is going to be fun but can also be risky. Drive carefully and enjoy the ride!

That’s awesome! Congrats!

"Almost brand new" Which for most people an only 3 year old car is. Soon as you leave the lot it's a used car anyway lol.

Since you’re speaking on behalf of most people, what age does a car become not almost new? You’re choosing to make something subjective that simply isn’t.

Reddit is such a strange place

Congratulations! Welcome to the Tesla club lol. I’m so happy for you! It’s truly such a wonderful feeling to have a amazing car like this

Probably means the condition / appearance.

Could be because the newer sport wheels are sorta ugly compared to these, but probably more efficient.

I get what they think it means but that doesn’t equate to reality

Why are you so sad?

Hilarious straw man

🫂

This isn’t a debate. A 3 year / 30K mile car can absolutely look new.

I have a 2019 3 that I got new and it’s still in fantastic condition but by no stretch of the imagination would the appearance make it “almost new.” The condition doesn’t matter, it’s 2-3years old. My 2026 Y can certainly be considered new

Room temp IQ

Congrats!


That … wasn’t gaslighting

Telling me I’m upset when I’m not upset is textbook gaslighting

3 years old, 34k miles, "almost brand new"... At an average of 30 mph and the average human farting 1 time every 1.5 hours (researched backed), that car has been farted in by a stranger 755 times. And that's assuming only the driver. I hope I didn't ruin that "new car smell" for you.

I did the math, it's been farted in at least 755 times.

I don’t think the commenter is upset. I do feel like you are baiting them because they are 100% correct on what they said.

You can just upload a lower quality version of the image.

Some people only have experience with cars over 100k miles.

I thought that was ice next to you.

FYI you can take pics directly in instagram and post them. I assume that’s what they did

You’re calling strangers broke and acting superior because you own a $50k mass produced car that’ll be worth $25k in 3-5 years. Do you feel better? Did you get your dopamine hit from pointlessly arguing with strangers in the comments of Reddit? Also, youre bragging about a model Y in a model 3 thread, nobody cares.

Same trolls below who wont be happy for you just because it isn’t the “Highland”. As if it’s a crime to want to save money on a Legacy Model 3 and be happy lol. Congrats lookin fresh!

Love the color!

They need to learn to crop the picture and leave everything else out

What do you mean? Both of my cars are “almost brand new” one has 80k miles and the other 5k….

That doesn’t change the fact that a 34k miles car isn’t new

"Feels" new and "is" new are two entirely different things, you do know that right?

I pick up my 2023 model Y LR AWD with hardware 4 and only 42k miles on Saturday and I’m so excited. I searched for WEEKS to find a 23’ with HW4

Nice! How much? Hard to find deals

$32k from CarMax. The shipping fee was literally only $99 from central Cali to Oregon. And they have the 20 inch induction rims. It’s white on black and I’m getting these wheel covers since they scratch so damn easily because I think they look sick https://preview.redd.it/zc0vlnje3zfg1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e49ac73231e2932dc3d9c0ec909e15a0b1d3e1fe

I had to check the license plate to be sure this wasn’t in the EU. Weird to see an EU truck here. Normally I see cars delivered on a flat bed.

Keyword-"Almost". That alone makes it not definitive, but less than 40% of cars on the road (US) are under 6 years old. The average is 12-13 years. So I'd say the majority would consider 3 "almost new". I'm referring to majority rules because there is no standard for "almost".

The person in the picture makes me wanna sell mine

I absolutely hate people. Let the person BE HAPPY with their new car. Jesus Christ. If this was in person I would’ve slapped all of yall

So 40% of the cars on the road are “almost new?” LOL

Clearly so you can go follow them 🤣

congrats, but what about three years old and 34k miles says “almost new” lmao

Good purchase

Holy gap

I bought a brand new ram in 22 and it just hit 50k. Still feels brand new honestly besides some outside cosmetics Little Rock chips here and there but it just proves buying brand new is a waste of money. Buy the used one with low miles and you’ll be more then satisfied!

fantastic

Did you just read the first sentence? Lol

I “almost” read it
