cheaper after 6 years, except you're not factoring in that honda's hold value very well and we have no idea how badly an 'early adopter' electric car is going to fare in the used market. Something tells me that the used market for a tesla isn't going to be as strong as for a honda civic |

Not sure why you'd assume that.
Current Tesla models have excellent residual values: 62% at 3 years according to black book, which is excellent for the luxury segment - and even better when you consider that EV values tend to be skewed by tax credits!
The Model 3 will share features like over-the-air updates that should help it retain value well.
