Which is the same price as a tesla model x.
However I get your main drift. I'm not pissing away 40-80k on a thing that will depreciate 3/4 of that value in 4 years. No matter how much the wife insists, buying a new car is a fool's errand.
- Handytinge 5y agoLooking at used Teslas for sale, almost all of them I can see ~ 3-6 years old in my country are only 10-20% cheaper than new. It seems currently they're depreciating 1/5 max in that 4 years.
- KaiserPro 5y agoCurrently all second hand cars in my country are not depreciating, this I suspect is because people are buying 30% less newer cars.

However Tesla are a special case, despite being single-handedly responsible for bringing down the reliability of the entire EV class, people still love them, and dont sell them (currently there are ~550 onsale in autotrader for the entire of the UK, compared to 440 renualt zoes)
