Tesla - Post Tax Credit

[Knightshade]

The article from Nov. 2016 lists the 2012 leaf at $10,248, list price was $32,361. That is 68% depreciation in less than 5 years.

Yes, but the 2016 leaf is a crap car almost nobody bought.

The Model 3 isn't any of those things- and Teslas in general have among the lowest depreciation of any cars in their class.

Tesla sold more Model 3s last month than Nissan sold leafs the entire year of 2016.

I see a 2016 Leaf for $11,695 and $9,943 for 2012.

But if you factor in a $7,500 tax credit, then the depreciation was only 58%.

I have no idea what the deal with the Leaf was, I can only comment on model 3s.
