Tesla is killing BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the used car market, in both inventory and resale value. I compared used car inventory and pricing of the 2016 Model S with the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Then I tested the 2018 used Tesla Model 3 against BMW 3 Series and 5 Series. The 2016 BMW 5 Series is getting absolutely hammered in resale value. There are hundreds for sale just in South Florida and they're selling for less than 33% of their original MSRP.
I found somewhat similar results for the 2016 S Class and the 2018 BMWs as well. Meanwhile there aren't many used Tesla Model 3 and Model S cars available in inventory, and their prices hold up much better than the Germans.
