      During COVID and in the immediate years after their production started used Teslaa held value well. Now, they’re values are dropping off a cliff. They’re depreciating on par with used luxury vehicles. I suspect that as people continue to have battery failures as their fleet ages, their prices will drop even more sharply. Be careful buying a used EV.

      From what I have noticed possibly. However there is awareness being raised that you could buy used and shortly after get hit with a 20k battery repair bill.

      They’re not at all designed to be sold used IMO. Rather they are designed to be recycled and resold through Tesla.
