      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!
