It is pretty disingenuous on his part. The small set of cars whose selling price does appreciate satisfy a set of requirements which the Tesla doesn't. 1. Discontinued / Very few produced -> Tesla is ramping up production 2. Iconic design -> Teslas do not have stand out look and the same design language is being used for other Tesla vehicles too. 3. Movie / cult classic -> Tesla does not have its 'Back to the Future' or 'Fast and the Furious'. 4. Unique features not present in other cars-> Tesla doesn't necessarily have any Lastly, tablet and screen based designs are ones that age the worst. So, Tesla is at a disadvantage there. The car collector's market is completely at odds with what Tesla offers. Tesla lovers are high technology folk, who always want the latest and the greatest. They do not appreciate dated designs. Car collectors are the ones most averse to electric cars (as of now). I think Teslas will hold their price better than other brands, but they certainly won't appreciate. (may be the original roadster, because they made so few of them)
