I find it odd that car buyers are seeing any commuter car as an investment that will retain its value. Very few ICE cars that are marketed for commuter cars retain value. They are disposable machines unless you are buying a limited production collector vehicle. Then it “might” retain value IF they stop producing a better, faster, more desirable model. However Tesla is not a limited production car made to hold its value. It is designed as a commuter without the ICE hassles of oil, filters, transmissions, and all the maintenance associated with the ICE. Buy a new Honda, Toyota or Tesla and they are all going to depreciate.
As for waiting for the next “new/better” feature.
If a person wants they could claim that from now on. There will always be something coming down the line that “seems” better or must have! But then when those features come along, will you be willing to pay the new price or buy the first year run of whatever model? There are probably more people waiting to buy the second generation of cyber truck than the first run….then they will want to wait until the price comes down or the truck flies or something. Always an excuse to wait, if you want to live that way.
