A Tesla Model S will depreciate about 35% in value after 5 years of ownership. This means that all else constant, if purchased for $99,800, a Model S will have a resale value of $64,451 five years later.
While 35% might seem like a big percentage, the Model S actually does much better than other electric and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles. Most depreciate significantly the second you drive them off the lot.
The Tesla Model S loses most of its value in the first three years, but depreciation rates flat out significantly in later years.
Just keep in mind that these depreciation rates assume your Model S is kept in great condition and you’re only averaging 12,000 miles or less each year.
