Short of being absorbed by an old line company I see no way out for them, just too much competition coming to market and they will eat Tesla alive on QC issues.
I think if tomorrow every car for sale was magically an EV car that would benefit Tesla. They have so many advantages in the market right now, it's just such a niche market at the moment. It's so new in the grand scheme.

I have made that same argument and believe it to be the case.

Secondhand European vehicles are stupid expensive for parts and labor. BMW's are the worst in depreciation. Hopefully this will have a positive, long term effect used parts cost catalog.

FWIW, a friend's E-550 had to be towed due high water it went through last spring in a deluge here in BR. He praised the MB dealer here as being far better and much less expensive than any in Houston.
Personally, I don't like any vehicle where I feel like my asss is dragging the ground. The older I get the more I hate having to get in and out of most luxury cars. SUV or pickup for me.

You were saying? A Silverado 1500 of the same model year is worth more than those cars while costing far less new. Or did you miss the "higher end sedan" part of comment? I swear people can't fricking read here.
Basically, if you want a luxury sedan with good resale value, buy a Lexus.

I think it has more to do with the fact that new luxury cars are insanely expensive to fix once the warranty goes out.
