The resale value is impressively high on them
The resale value is pretty insane.

I know a guy who got a Tesla the same month I did. About 10 months later, he sold it for $5k more than he paid for it. I've had mine for 1.5 years and just doing quick looks on Cars.com or wherever, I can likely get pretty darn close to exactly what I paid for it, "sticker" price if you will.

I always assumed they depreciated like German sedans. I could not believe what they were selling for on auction sites. As of now, there is a about a 10 week wait for a Model S which certainly props up resale. I definitely overlooked the “capable” part of the Autopilot option. That extra $10k really changes the value equation for me.

Someone in another car thread mentioned how nice Volvo interiors are. I checked out their offerings. They have a XC40 which is their smallest SUV in full electric. Everything I want is $58k. Currently federal tax incentives are $7500 and state tax incentive of $4k. Those incentives get me to the same note as the vehicle it would replace. The 200 mile range would be very tight for a trip to the ski resorts without a recharge. Their PHEV cars (which is nearly the entire lineup have the same state tax is the same and slightly less on the federal) would alleviate that concern.
