Sounds like used Tesla prices are returning to normal rather than crashing to some other unexpected level.
- dawnerd 2y agoIt’s a crash when they’ve been propped up for years as only lightly depreciating. Like ya they should be down this low. If you recall Tesla once even promised to pay back model S owners if their cars were worth less than a BMW? Used. The number of people I’ve heard justify their purchase as an investment is bonkers. Just that alone I’d say calling it a crash is fair. Gonna be a LOT of people underwater.
