If they are selling so well, why are the values tanking?

Because it’s a 100k+ luxury EV, that segment is a depreciation beast

It’s a byproduct of Tesla slashing prices to keep their sales volume up affecting the whole EV used market.

im actually really curious how the values are holding up compared to other EVs. We bought a 22 X plaid for almost $150K and I want to say I can only get 70k at best for it. Not to mention, I can get a 24 X plaid for under 100 now.

don’t think the depreciation is isolated to Taycan. On top of that, depreciation in the 100K+ segment is greater than sub 100k cars in general.

Agreed, it’s not just the taycan, any expensive EV is just not holding value like that currently. It’s well documented across all manufacturers

I think this info has to be taken with a grain of salt. Taycan sold well in the 4th quarter last year. That's because there probably were a lot of incentives offered by dealers. For the year as a whole, sure Taycan beat 22 numbers but that's because FY22 was bad for Taycan sales thx to the Ukraine war and supply issues due to that.

Exactly. If I compare with other cars same age, mileage, around same MRSP, todays values are almost all in same range.

Eh, people keep saying that but I don’t think that’s supported by any real data. Mostly, a different buyer ..

This. 100%.
Elon keeps slashing prices of new Teslas, dragging the whole market down. My 2016 Model S P100D had an MSRP of 151k. Now you can get a new Plaid for a little more than half that.

In addition to above mentioned reasons there is another simple one. They cranked up production and there are just too many unsold units. I think demand is solid but supply too high.
