What a bullshit reason. Tesla's depreciation is almost identical to that of every other car model. And BYD is a newcomer so there's no data on how much it will depreciate.
Just say that you don't like Teslas and/or Elon Musk, or that China is giving you money. Those are all fine reasons to make decisions.
Not at all. You might be okay with how fast yours depreciated, but that doesn't mean it's in line with other brands.
They aren't- They've been making cars since before Tesla was incorporated. And they make more BEVs than Tesla, more battery cells than Tesla, and tesla uses BYD cells in some of their cars.
Okay. I liked my Performance Model 3 for the first 9 months, then it had serious problems. By the time I traded it, I hated it.
Great. Musk is a piece of shit. That's secondary, but still related to how abysmal Tesla's repair shops are, how few there are, and how long you need to wait for parts.
I wish. Yo, China. I'm willing to take money, and in exchange I'll promote BYD as an EV brand. If anybody in China with the authority to make this happen, DM me for wiring instructions. $500k USD a year, access to engineers internally so I can ask questions, and we've got a deal.
How much would you pay for an ex-rental car ? The argument is total BS.
I'll never own another Tesla in my life, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. 😆
