    So just like every other electric car or device with batteries inside.

    Who would’ve guessed

      totally agree with that general sentiment but I can also understand why it would be a little surprising, considering that Porsche in general arguably has the least amount of depreciation per vehicle over literally every other manufacturer/car model

        I feel like that only applies to their sports cars (911/Caymans). Cayennes don’t depreciate any better than a comparable X5 / Q7 / GLE.

          Very accurate. I honestly wasn’t even considering the SUV’s in my argument because I was considering the taycon a sports car

          I feel like that only applies to their sports cars (911/Caymans).

          For fun, I looked up used 911s for sale, and like a lot of my tabs, left it open. Over the past few weeks, the lowest priced search result (a higher mileage S 992) has dropped significantly. Maybe the bull market is feeling some strain.

      Considering after 100k miles you essentially have to pay a fuck ton of money to get new batteries.

      Not sure why battery’s aren’t plug and play modular yet

      I wonder if in the future cars will get modded to have bigger/better battery packs put in as aftermarket as opposed to a tune.

      Yeah that’s one thing I don’t hear about often. But the batteries on all cars will and the process will only accelerate with time.

      Tesla’s were appreciating for a while. Right now the depreciation is primarily driven by EV price cuts due to high competition and high interest rates.

      Me - but I’ve been downvoted multiple times for saying the same here by the EV legion. They point to some esoteric limited production examples like the Tesla roadster going for good amounts used… but every single mainstream electric car will see an “electronics” depreciation curve. If Porsche made the 911 an EV, it will see much faster than typical Porsche depreciation too.

        Every single mainstream ICE car sees a depreciation curve. Based on how many ICE cars get produced, ones that appreciate in value are no less esoteric than the original Tesla roadster or the SLS AMG Electric Drive.

      $22 and 4 mins for me to change the battery in any Nio car here in China.

        It’s endemic to how they are sold and what they just are: mechanical devices to move us around. Stuff wears out, gets dirty, needs service.

        Just try convincing all the car buyers of the period between late 2020-2022 that, no, their car did not appreciate in value, unless they sold it.

        People about to FAFO (f around and find out) over the next year or two. Upside down car loans are going to be the norm.

      It not even necessarily the battery part. It’s moreso the fact that now is about the time that the first batch of EVs is entering the secondary market. Before, you would almost pay the same for a new one vs a secondhand EV for a lot of these first generation EVs.

        Plus it’s an expensive car, high end cars always depreciate quickly, because the market for expensive and used cars is very small.

        I would never buy an electric car for this reason, yes.

        A gas car will use the same amount of fuel, drive the same distance on a tank and have the same power after 20 years as it did new. Electric cars won’t.

          sorry man, this wasn’t an attack at all. you don’t have to extol the virtues of ICE vs Electric, i will only buy an EV when/if i’m legally required to.

          it was more of a joke about how people are like LOL OBV when bentleys sell for 1/8 of their MSRP 5 years later.

          the people buying high end cars brand new off the lot do not care about depreciation. they have other assets that offset that loss.

          you’re absolutely right, electronics depreciate fast, cars depreciate fast, put that together et voila. but for most of the population if we want something and can afford it, we buy it. electronics included. iphone is the number one device in the world and literally no one cares that they’re not worth anything as soon as we open the box. but add in the fact that not everyone has access to a porsche and everyone is like HA SUCKER!
