Tesla 3 depreciation ...

Depreciation has been artificially low due to demand. As factories come online and Fremont isn't the only supplier I expect used prices to drop. The lead time for a Y can be a month or more depending on who Fremont is building for.
Depreciation is going to be a reflection of out-of-dealer reparability. Tesla will have to make some changes or their cars will become throw-a-way's.

If your Tesla gets into much of an accident you'll be waiting a long time on parts trust me.

Long Wait for Parts -Body Work
Hi! I've currently been waiting 4 months, 6 days for all of the parts to arrive to my body shop for fairly major front end body work. It's a Tesla cetified shop/2017 Model S/ not driveable. Anybody else have experience with how long it takes for Tesla to get the parts supplied for body work...

If a Tesla gets into an accident it will be written off faster than you can say Bob's your uncle.
Currently many huge Lawsuits where they did just that!
Unless there’s some way to get Tesla parts (both body & otherwise), or they add a LOT more dealer service centers, I can’t see buying a used one. The dealers are busy enough & too few & far between to keep up.
As someone who has worked for an independent dealership that sold alot of electric vehicles. Tesla doesn't stand behind their warranty, nor do they care. They re-design parts for no apparent reason. Take a 2015 model S, the front and rear bumper brackets are not compatible with a 2014 or 2016 just because. A friend of my parents, his sister owned a 2015 model S. The bumper was damaged and Tesla didn't have a replacement, i think the insurance company just totalled it. Usually after 6-8 months with no parts a vehicle gets a salvage title.

The Tesla is a machine, machines wear out the sealing materials eventually deteriorate over time . Bearings and suspension wear. .
The point is, the Tesla drivetrain has far fewer parts than a conventional ICE car.
Almost zero maintenance and long life. The only scheduled maintenance is cabin air filter and brake component lube in cold climates.
Don't get me wrong, the cars are expensive and their build quality has earned plenty of complaints, especially on the early cars.
