BUYING A TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE FOR UNDER $25K! PROBLEMS, USED EV TAX CREDIT SCAMS, & ROAD TRIP

EV Channels Review

The reviewer chronicles the acquisition of a used Tesla Model 3 Performance for under $25,000, highlighting the challenges of finding a clean example and the complexities surrounding used EV tax credits, with dealers often exploiting the program. Despite initial concerns about a significant dent, low coolant, and brake booster issues, the buyer ultimately decides to proceed with the purchase, swayed by the car's performance, relatively low mileage for its age, and a negotiated discount. The video emphasizes the importance of thorough pre-purchase inspections, especially for used EVs, and the potential pitfalls of last-minute deals. While the car presented several cosmetic and minor mechanical issues, the buyer's willingness to address them, coupled with the attractive price point, made it a viable option.
