I recently (June) bought my model Y'21 AWD LR from a reputable dealer group (Carousel motors) in Minneapolis, MN. I traded in my 22' Model 3, AWD LR while the used car trade-ins were high, and needed a bigger car for the newly extended family. I've recently been looking around to trade it in, and have had quite a few different issues
1. Has anyone else had such crazy depreciation / offers trying to sell their tesla recently?
2. Any other issues with owning a Canadian Tesla - I also honestly don't know any real "Difference" in it.
Thanks!

- Dealers are highly bullish on Tesla right now, they don't want to take on unwanted stock - I've been given various reasons for this
- The auction platforms that the dealers use to bid on vehicles have a setting so the dealer doesn't bid on Canadian vehicles, I've heard from 2 different dealers that Canadian vehicles (Yes, it was only there for 8 months after coming from Freemont), due to the rust that happens to Canadian vehicles is highly accelerated vs US vehicles and therefore don't want to sell them? That truly holds no water to me, 10yr anti-corrosion warranty so ...
- I've lost over $18K in 2 months on trade, from 15 September till today (2 months) - ouch. Vehicle is in pristine condition, I am a huge car nut and take care of my cars very well, nothing wrong with it, no accidents, just this 'Canada' issue. I obviously am nowhere near this on payment so underwater for trade
- Am very well aware the used car market is down ±20% in last 2 months, so this is somewhat in line, but vehicles being sold (used) are nowhere near this decline so it's very challenging to get out of this car.
