Why are used Teslas so expensive?
I've noticed that some Tesla models are even more expensive if you buy them used than they were at their original sale price. Why is that? I want to get a Tesla but I’m confused about the price jump.

Normally buying a used car is significantly less expensive, so it makes sense that you’re confused about the price of a used
Tesla
! The reason that used Teslas are so expensive is actually due to the short supply of Teslas on the market.If you choose to get a new Tesla, you’ll be placed on a waitlist, where you could stay for up to 10 months unless you’d like to pay more for expensive add-ons. Used Teslas are more expensive because you won’t have to wait to purchase your new vehicle.
If you’d like to purchase a Tesla, it’s a good idea to save up first. One way to save is to cut costs on other expenses, like your car insurance.
