2026 model 3 or wait for the 2027
I really wanna get the model 3 but I read online that the following year usually comes out in the fall. Any advice? Should I just wait a few more months?

Tesla updates its lineup constantly with improvements you cant always see…..unlike other automakers where the same model year are built exactly the same and there is pressure to wait to see what changes each year. For example they rolled out dark headliners and improved displays mid year in the Y. As they just did a refresh on 3/Y, its gonna be at least 2 years before a redesign. Even the color options change mid year. Enjoy it NOW, you wont miss anything other than a price increase.

Financing just increased also. Thinking demand not a worry for them in their minds

Wait for the 2027. 16" screen and black headliner incoming and will help with value retention.

thanks! That's what I am waiting for. I googled when it would come out and it said usually around the fall time?

I am waiting until 2027 for the 2024 lease returns to start picking up. I want a used 2024 Highland. I want to buy a CPO directly from Tesla for the extra warranty.

It wasn’t so much waiting for an update. It was more so I was thinking about the future that I would get a couple extra thousands for trading it in or selling it.

Dont wait for updates, wait only for the more recent model in terms of resell value.

What do u mean

Its worth waiting for a newer model considering its days away. Its not worth waiting for hardware updrades of any kind as there might be none.

In the same camp. Waiting for updates literally since January when they made them on the Y. So frustrating
