About this model

2021 Tesla Model 3

Електро-седан · generation 2017–2024

Our takeКупуйте ТІЛЬКИ з пошкодженням Front End / Rear End / Hail. Лоти з 'Battery Damage', 'Electrical', 'Flood' = пастка — батарея коштує більше за саму машину. Перевірка SoH батареї через нашого фахівця обов'язкова.

Strengths

Найдешевша Tesla в США — багато аварійних лотів від $8–15k
Запас ходу 350–500 км реальних на Long Range
Безкоштовні оновлення ПО роками

Weaknesses

Збитки після ДТП — батарея дуже дорога ($12–18k нова), часто не ремонтується
В Україні мало авторизованих СТО — ремонт у неофіційних → втрата гарантії
