Maybe I'm a total Luddite, but with how fast cars depreciate, and with how fast electronics become obsolete, right now I have zero interest in the marriage of the two. You might as well just take the 138k it costs and start a bonfire.
I'm totally sure it's the future and all that, but when I bought a new car in 2013 I got a stick shift with the most advanced electronics being pretty much the radio (and even that could be mistaken with a cassette player from 1980 if you don't notice the bluetooth connection). You know how many problems I've had with the car so far? ZERO!
- vessenes 11y agoTesla Roadster values have dropped about $30,000 in 6 years, or 5% a year. That's pretty great for a car of any sort.
- aerovistae 11y agoWait, did you actually research facts before talking? That's incredible, nobody does that on the internet.
- kagamine 11y agoThat may be because not many roadsters were sold and the rarity makes them more desirable. The newer models sell in larger numbers and (i assume) will fall faster in the used market.
- vessenes 11y agoIt's possible. The P85, for instance seems to have depreciated more rapidly. But that might be because Tesla keeps pushing the line out on their top of the line model. By comparison, though, the 2011 Mercedes SL500 cost around $105,000 and is currently worth (depending on mileage) right around $50k. That's more typical depreciation for high end sports cars.
