The big issue is that Model 3 and Model Y only have 73%ish of the range when brand new, and then after 3 years that drops down to ~64%ish of its advertised range.

Just a word of warning to you. There's only two reasons anyone is getting rid of a Tesla. They're having major service problems and the warranty is up, or the warranty is up and they're trading before they have major service issues.

You'll be a lot better off with a Kia/Hyundai, and you won't have to wait a month for service appointments.

I will say, the prices a suspiciously low on some of these. 3-4 year old cars 20-30k miles for basically half price compared to new. Configuration doesn't seem to make much of a difference either. And there seems to be tons of them too.

Nothing depreciates faster than a Tesla, besides a broken Tesla. But yeah, config makes no real difference because they're all econoboxes and new ones are cheaper. I'd choose a better EV, and I'm speaking as a former Tesla owner.
