This means a 2016 S60 will still have 208 miles of EPA rated range when it's off-lease or up for resale in 2019, whereas a 2013 S60 most likely has a smaller range than when it was new. Tesla cars will depreciate more slowly, with resale prices closer to original MSRP. That's all good news for their leasing program, their resale value guarantee program, and their certified pre-owned program. There are a lot of upsides to reducing battery wear. Battery wear is a big reason my 2012 Nissan Leaf is worth less than 1/3rd of its original MSRP.

Most 2012 cars are not worth more than a third of the original MSRP, especially if you're looking at typical trade-in value. If I were in the market for a car right now I'd be looking for about a 2008 model year. All the significant depreciation has already been realized and you can find some real values in good condition with a lot of life left if you shop around a bit.
