    Every time Tesla discounts my “bought at full price” neighbor goes through the roof. I think we’re at 20k under right now. Add to that a solid 20k lost in depreciation makes Teslas not a very good deal.

      Before the used car market went crazy during Covid that kind of depreciation was pretty normal. In 2019, I bought a $52K sticker 2018 Audi with 10K miles for $33K. It’s slowly starting to get back to that level.

      It’s a good deal. Cars are not investments. You bought at the highest time in history

        Not I. Not I. My daily drivers are old - so I can work on them myself. My classic cars both sold for multiples of what I paid.

      Most vehicles purchased in, say, 2021 are looking like horrible deals at this point. Not that it was unexpected.
