I would expect the Tesla to depreciate about the same as most other luxury cars with a similar MSRP.
For example KBB.com has a page to calculate 5 year cost to own.
Just for kicks I choose a BMW X6 M.
94,850 MSRP.
62,301 Depreciation for 5 years, so your guess is about right for that car.
Not sure if this link will work, but this page is interesting.

As far as the Tesla goes, they have a good reputation for quality and that helps, but many other car makers also have high standards or they would not survive. Notice that the overall cost per mile on the BMW is $1.33 Now I would guess that the Model S and Model X would be about the same.
My car is a 2012 and I plan to drive it until the power train warranty goes away in 2020 and it will be worth pretty close to nothing by then.
OK the link worked but you also need to click the "See yearly breakdown" in the middle of the page.
I'll be happy to take it off your hands in 2020.
