"the market" won't start really replacing Tesla's vehicles until the value proposition is there. Unfortunately (as you highlighted), Teslas can't be made fast enough to fill the market, and they can't be sold cheap enough to out-saturate the truly awful ICE-vehicles. As long as it's legal to drive grandpa's $400 Buick, people will consistently pick cars that are cheap and destructive. That's just how our market works from a bottom-up perspective, and it's unlikely that Tesla will be pushing owners to keep their cars for 10-20 years like traditional gas guzzlers. So, you're spending $35k on a car that likely won't last you a decade, will eventually and inevitably become outdated or have electronic failure, and will not be serviceable by anyone other than the first-party manufacturer. I'd love to be an eco-warrior as much as anyone else on this site, but there's not even a faint chance I would pick that over a 5-year-old Fiesta I can get for a quarter of the price.

> Opinion: I can sell my 2021 Model Y for $15k more than I paid for it, and my 2018 Model S for $20k less than I paid for it with 100k miles on it. That’s fairly good value preservation imho.

That’s all cars atm. My 2021 Mazda is also selling for more than I paid
