The less expensive Models 3 and Y have also received significant discounts in the last year.
My niece and her husband bought a Model 3 last year and they have suffered hyper depreciation on their "green new deal" vehicle. |
Being devils advocate here. Wasn't the big 3 also guilty of the same thing? For years they sold trucks at high prices, then at the end of they model year, offer $10,11,12,000 rebates on their trucks. They "overcharged" their customers for 9 months, then offer huge discounts. They didn't have to build a huge overage of trucks. The real value of those american trucks were the discounted price.
