    Yeah normal seems to have taken a vacation

    In either case it’s all tied to supply and demand. When teslas kept their value it was because huge growth they couldn’t keep up with. Now their value used is horrible but a big part of that is demand dropped, so they can make too many.

    And yes it is not a good thing that in both cases too much was driven by a personality.

    Personally I’m annoyed because teslas still are the most compelling EV available to me, but they always had the shadow of over-hype and now they’re toxic

      In practical terms, maintenance used to be a bottleneck. Didn’t know if it still is. If you always need to go to Tesla for maintenance, it’s going to get ridiculously expensive.

      And then there’s the philosophical side. Who wants to drive a car associated with filth like Elon.

      Other than that, getting a used Tesla could be nice.
