Shock-On-T
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
EV depreciation is still an unknown quantity, because existing EVs don't represent future EVs.
We have low range, niche models like Leafs and iMievs which are only suitable for enthusiasts, and then we have prestige, expensive Model S and X.
Future EVs will be high volume, mass market, medium-priced vehicles. This has never been seen before, so any estimate of market impact is little more than a guess.
We are on the edge of a huge change in the automotive industry. It may well be that in 8 years time ICE vehicles will be almost worthless, an embarrassment to own.
And also, the estimate of October 2019 for Model 3 deliveries is unsupported by the data. Tesla estimates about a year from now, this estimate is about 3 years from now. Huge difference. The big investors who've seen Tesla's detailed plans have remained confident in Tesla's time estimates. Not sure how C&D has obtained better information to triple this estimate.
