Striking with the hot iron!

Kevin's L3mr RWD was a pretty good deal. It caught the last of the Fed Tesla rebates and the Maryland tax rebate so it was $39,700 delivered. He later added the $5000 desparate Elon end of the month before Tesla stock took off deal for FSD. Somehow his also had basic autopilot in the base price so was all in through FSD for a total price of $44,700 taxes and tags icluded. Now I paid $9000 for the same autopilot and today one pays $12,000. Edmunds currently lists a used 2019 L3MR at $45K and doesn't mention FSD so we did all right. The only minus is he pays $100 a year for connectivity and of course Supercharging isn't free. However the mobile charger was thrown in and with the different plug heads he is good with various home charging setups. This model also had the primo sound and adjustable heated seats. Today new a RWD Model 3 with FSD is $60K with no rebate. Sometimes it pays to strike while the iron is hot. With a set of black Tesla roof racks (gift from Dad) and window tinting (gift from brother) so it looks pretty badass. Very little maintenance and it is not yet out of warrenty. One of our best family car deals ever.

A Blast from the Past

A little iMovie. Circe the Tesla Model 3 pickup 2018. Back when Catherine had the EVs of Nevada website I hoped to be her East Coast volunteer reporter but it never worked out. Still the video preserves how happy I was to pickup that early Tesla Model 3! Still the best car ever. Exported from iMovie in SD 480. Good Times!
