I'm wondering if "mileage" is the best way to measure the condition of a used tesla vehicle. In ICE cars mileage is good indicator of the condition of the overall vehicle due to the various parts affected by the usage of a combustion engine over time.
With less moving parts and less consumables/replaceable parts in the tesla... Wouldn't battery cycle measurements be a better indicator than mileage to determine the value of a used tesla? Or total power used... If I hammer the accel over and over but don't drive far.... Wouldn't that be worse? Or if I drove really fast all the time....
Maybe this has already been discussed. If not I'd like to hear what people think.
