          During COVID and in the immediate years after their production started used Tesla held value well. Now, their values are dropping off a cliff. They’re depreciating on par with used luxury vehicles. I suspect that as people continue to have battery failures as the fleet ages, their prices will drop even more sharply. Be careful buying a used EV.

            This was the case for all vehicles at the time due to the supply chain shortages.

          From what I have noticed possibly. However there is awareness being raised that you could buy used and shortly after get hit with a 20k battery repair bill.

          They’re not at all designed to be sold used IMO. Rather they are designed to be recycled and resold through Tesla.

      I know jailbreak refers more to rooting Apple phones but I think it’s a better term than root as it points out you’re not in control of your own hardware. You “break out of jail” to gain (software) freedom.
