While I agree with the vast majority of the reply posters here, I do have to share our MS trade in story as a minor bit of support to the OP. We contemplated getting two late-2018's to replace our two 2017 MS's, one a P100D (~8k miles), and the other a 90D (~16k miles).
The offers from Tesla were an insult, NOT because of the depreciation--we expected that, but because of the AMOUNT and delta from what was listed on the CPO section of www.EV-CPO/Classic. We'll use the P100D as an example--with Tesla selling CPO's that were ONE year older, with and with three times the miles, at more than $20k more than their offer to us, it was nothing less than another insult from Tesla. The 90D's offer was similarly absurd.
Sure, there may be reconditioning expenses, but they would be of a minor nature on MS's that were so new and with such low miles. No effort was made to even remotely justify such insultingly low trade in offers.
I've stated it for years now: Tesla is incompetent in how they handle their own Tesla trade ins, and how they leave so much money on the table by not being more aggressive in their remarketing of CPO cars (if anything, they're moving backwards now with shameful and nonexistent "reconditioning").
I hope Elon figures out that whoever is running Tesla trade-ins is harming the brand, and pissing off customers.
