Not at all. You might be okay with how fast yours depreciated, but that doesn't mean it's in line with other brands.
They aren't- They've been making cars since before Tesla was incorporated. And they make more BEVs than Tesla, more battery cells than Tesla, and tesla uses BYD cells in some of their cars.
Okay. I liked my Performance Model 3 for the first 9 months, then it had serious problems. By the time I traded it, I hated it.
Great. Musk is a piece of shit. That's secondary, but still related to how abysmal Tesla's repair shops are, how few there are, and how long you need to wait for parts.
I wish. Yo, China. I'm willing to take money, and in exchange I'll promote BYD as an EV brand. If anybody in China with the authority to make this happen, DM me for wiring instructions. $500k USD a year, access to engineers internally so I can ask questions, and we've got a deal.
How much would you pay for an ex-rental car ? The argument is total BS.
I'll never own another Tesla in my life, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. 😆
See my links further in this thread, and feel free to attempt to disagree with actual industry reporting. And, of course, show us any links you have pretending that Teslas don't depreciate faster than the highest selling vehicles in the world. Something other than Elon's tweets.
We don't have different results, you just can't seem to read a simple picture for some reason. See how that 2018 Toyota is worth over the 80% line and the Tesla is below the 80% line? I've seen self owns here before, but this was impressive.
That wasn't me being insulting. Do you think this EV rental company is comparing their 2012 resale values, or do you think they're comparing their 3-5 year values? In the US, around two thirds of owners own their car for 5 years or less. This is why the links I posted compared vehicles at 3, 5, and 7 years.
