Concentrating on new cars with a tax credit misses the obvious . . . car depreciation. For example: 2014 BMW i3-REx Monroney sticker listed it at $53k bought in May 2016, $29k with 6k miles, now has 33k miles replacement cost ~$23k I really don't care if the cost savings is from a tax credit or depreciation. Deprecation works in the free market which means it is automatic. Bob Wilson
I doubt in most cases they don’t understand depreciation. It is more a factor that they do understand supply and demand. As supply increases, costs for used Model 3s will come down. For Bob, another supply of Model 3s should be appearing later this month as some early buyers upgrade to either AWD or the performance versions.
Yep - or they simply don't understand the principle that as prices drop, they'll continue to Trail the market downward. .
Currently, Tesla doesn't offer a lease on the model 3, maybe next year or the year after as a sales stimulator IF NEEDED.
