You're just making a general argument about buying used vs new. That's not interesting, or revelatory. It's just overly judgmental.

And you're quite off on the price of a Model 3. I think you're confusing it for the Model S.

$60k that he claims is much closer to the ASP than the $35k that Tesla claims.

It’s impossible to buy a used Tesla for anywhere close to $8500. I find the comparison compelling.

Because they're better cars than the Leaf and thus maintain resale value better. The Leaf isn't coming out on top in this comparison. There's a reason some things are worth more than others.

Friend of mine is a Leaf enthusiast and even he concedes it's pretty awful. It could have been great, but the batteries degrade so fast you can practically watch the range decrease with every drive.
