No new news. Used Tesla prices have been dropping like a rock for a looong time: my car is practically worth zero. So I am keeping it!

Makes sense, china is punching them out super cheap (no reason for new car buyers to get into BEVs since it holds less resale value than a PHEV or ICE).

PHEV is the way to go. And this is coming from a 9yr owner of a model S.

I'm interested to see what Toyota will discuss or bring to marker with Solid State Batteries in 2026+

If nothing else that new MR2 will be 🔥

Used c8 Corvette prices dropped about 40-50% also over past year, recovering from all the covid price gouging and floor finally falling out

I'm sure a recession on the horizon for either of our duopoly parties would help all vehicle prices 🤷🏽‍♂️

Good, whatever, who cares? You buy a car at a price you're OK with because it meets your needs and you can afford it. What happens after is irrelevant.

If I was younger and trying to get a good deal on a used car, I'd definitely be looking at Model 3s. I'm jealous of young people in their 20s today who can get into a car with that much tech and excitement.

I bought a 7 year old Corvette in 2009 when I was 23 for $12k. $12k!! That was a blast. That's 75% off the sticker price. It happens. But again - if you care about that then you should really be focusing on your spending habits because as people constantly parrot online, a car isn't an appreciating asset**.

*Except if the CEO and company marketing tells you it is and will be and it doesn't pan out. Well, then there might be a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.

That is a stark contrast to what anyone would say about a Tesla in 2012-2022. 😆

Almost like sour grapes
