Uh, wow, my car is not worth a lot.

[ZBB]

I found one nearly identical to mine, but in San Francisco, although its a '14 with 1/2 the miles. Listed at $67,250.

The 85s seem to be in the ~72 range -- so $5k less for a 60 ain't bad…

But I'm not making a decision on mine until early next year. Choice will be to upgrade at around 50-55k miles or buy the extended warranty and keep it to about 100k ish… If I upgrade, the 70D is interesting...

Maybe we can figure out the mileage deductions…

There are 2 Signatures in San Francisco -- one with 37k miles, the other with 5k. VINs are both <1000 (Signatures were all early cars and heavily configured -- what became the P85…).

One is 63k, the other 76k. That's ~22 cents per mile deduction…

That indicates my car would be listed for ~$62k. I bet a trade offer would be ~50ish…

Seems most of the cars are low mileage. Were these service loaners??

This one is fairly close to my spec/year/miles, though I have a number of additional options.

$68,500. That puts the retail value of mine at, what, probably 63? 55 for trade?

Ugh.

EDIT: Though it occurs to me that these cars are pretty sensitive to build dates--e.g., my 2013 has a bunch of stuff (parking sensors, folding mirrors) that most 2013s don't have. Same is true to an even greater degree with late 2014s.

What's the deal with the wheels shown in that pic? I dont ever recall seeing those on the configurator or in real life. Obviously the images are computer generated but it seems like a pretty big detail to totally fudge like that, no?

Those were the optional Aero wheels... Offered for about 3-4 months starting in Aug 2013. They apparently improved range by 3%... But very few were sold since they look atrocious, so Tesla dropped them. They were avail with winter tires in the Tesla online accessories store until about a year ago -- to get rid of the inventory...

Well, we are talking about electric cars, right? I'd be surprised if they weren't mostly low mileage.

Mine is approaching 36k miles -- and it will turn 2 in just over 2 weeks. I've never put that many miles on a car so fast before. Even taking out the 4500 mile road trip last summer, that would still be true. Range is not an issue.

But Tesla has many multi-car owners, so many of the cars are low mileage...
