The Y has only existed since the pandemic lol, I'm not sure much can be gleaned from thatModel 3s (and Ys) have historically done pretty well on resale value. Not "I can sell my new car for more than I paid for it" well, or "I can sell my 1 year old car for more than I paid for it" well, but well in general.
Thats why (frankly) its frustrating to see people rush to post "Oh noes, model 3 values have plummeted!" as even though the actual fact is true, its "plummeting" from values that were not driven by reality'
Its like someone complaining that the price of Toilet Paper has "plummeted" from its pricing in Mid 2020 or something, when people were hoarding toilet paper and "flipping" it online.
But in both cases, the idea that value will be strongly retained in models now being produced in such massive numbers kinda runs counter to what typically drives value retention in assets like these. I'd float the idea that past price performance from the early days when production numbers were much lower might not be indicative of future results with the goal of flooding the world with 3s and Ys.
This is like the antithesis of a collector's car, Tesla wants a 3 or Y on every corner and that could be highly dilutive to retained values now that factories are absolutely churning them out.
But if EVs are to be adopted widely, that should be the goal
