Does Tesla pay fair trade-in value?
Tesla does calculate any negative equity or remaining loan payments you may have on your current car into your purchase amount. For non-Tesla vehicles and ICE cars, Tesla often does provide a no-hassle, final trade-in quote that's comparable to other online dealerships like Carmax, Carvana, or Vroom.Aug 7, 2021

Can I trade my car in if I still owe on it?
Can I trade in my car if it's not paid off? In general, you can trade in your car for a new one even if you're still making payments on it. That's the difference between your car's current value and the amount you owe on the loan. Depending on those two factors, you have either positive or negative equity.
When should you not trade in your car?
It is best not to trade in your vehicle when you purchased it very recently. As soon as you drive a new vehicle off the lot, it loses around 10% of its value and up to 20% of its value within the first year. If you purchased a new, not used, vehicle within the last year and are thinking of trading it in, just don't.
What is a benefit of trading in your old car to a dealer?
When you trade in your vehicle, the dealer is already expecting to detail and recondition the car before it goes on the lot and that's included in your trade-in value. Trading in your vehicle to purchase a newer model can avoid you paying reconditioning costs upfront, allowing you to make a larger down payment.
