I even have the original listing page cached for one of them: EV CPO Consolidator / Tesla Preowned Inventory / ev-cpo.com

If you google it, there is a ton of information out there about the resale value of cars by color.
I understand that they were listed without AP activated. What I'm disputing is that they are somehow special, because the buyer could always opt to pony up the extra $500 or whatever it was to have Tesla flip the switch and turn on the AP functionality. That's very different from not having the AP hardware installed at all.Right, but they were both listed and sold without AP activated, according to the option codes.
I find Tesla's green color ugly. In case you can't tell.car
There, fixed it for you
I should have said, "The value for many is..."Wow. This is the most subjective comment I've seen in a long time.
There's no such thing as a "performance" color. It's 100% personal preference.
There are endless examples of what I call fugly Lambos and Ferraris. That doesn't change the performance of the car.
Did you also put a big wing on the back of your car, because you know, all real performance cars need big wing stabilizers to make the car go faster.

Total P85D listed without AP1: 2 <--- 0.4% of total sold -- Is this another 'unicorn'??
If Tesla sets the price based on a formula that doesn't take into account color, then you wouldn't expect any difference in price after accounting for other variables. Instead, desirability would be better represented by days on the market. Also, since Tesla's formula likely changed over time, a regression that focuses on price may merely measure when cars were sold rather than their desirability.I just did a very quick and dirty extract from the database of CPO cars sold in 2012, 2013, and 2014, showing average price and count of cars sold for each color.
Only 60,85,P85,P85D, and P85+ models were included (because they were the only ones sold in green). U.S. cars only.
Since we don't have the original MSRP price of any of these cars, it's not possible to calculate "most discounted" as previously asserted. We can only go by average price and possibly days-on-market (DOM).
In every year, Green is not the lowest average priced CPO car sold. Sure, it's near the bottom, but it's never last.
Now I said this is very quick and dirty, so this doesn't take into account options or mileage.
I don't have time for a full regression analysis tonight. Maybe in a few weeks I can do something more significant.

Now brown.... That's definitely not the color of a performance car!!
