Tesla trade-in value on their own car brand Tesla? higher value or no?

Literally just went through this yesterday, got my trade in offer from Tesla for my S and they were lower than CarMax and CarMax was lower than Carvana.

So I am selling to Carvana and going to be without a car for a few days until I take delivery of my new X :)

Just for reference:
2014 MS 85 67k miles

Tesla - 21,400
CarMax - 26,000
Carvana - 30,044
 
I'm pretty sure Tesla doesn't want to take Trade-Ins.
Trade in value with tesla on my Model X is 5-12k less than the KBB trade in range (good condition). Looking at the used X's tesla has, the closest to my specs with over 10k miles more than mine is $17k more than their trade in offer...

I've been getting a trade in quote every couple months just to see if it's worth moving to a new Y, their trade in value has dropped $9k over the last 18 weeks... Note that my X is a 2016 (HW2 with FSD paid for), it shouldn't be dropping that fast at this point.
