HOW MUCH FOR A USED MODEL 3?

If you order a Polestar 2 tomorrow, don’t expect to have it on your drive until at least December. However, the Tesla Model 3 has been with us a short while now, so it’s reasonable to think you might just sneak a deal on a lightly used second-hand buy.

Unfortunately, we’re not there yet, and while it is possible to buy a Model 3 second-hand (not that you’ll find any on Tesla’s website, which otherwise has a good stock of Model S examples), don’t expect to save yourself much cash. As an example, we found a Model 3

Standard Range Plus with 10,000 miles on the clock but still with an asking price of £41,500. Admittedly, the car’s subscription-based selfdriving software was already prepaid (that is, ready to go when Tesla finally flicks the switch), but it’s an example that prices aren’t slipping and demand is still strong.

Prospective owners can at least take solace in the fact that, according to Tesla’s website, were you to order a Model 3 tomorrow, it would arrive more than two months before the Polestar would show up.
