ScullyD That's a good point that I often forget - resale only hurts when you want to sell it. But, if it continues to work really well; why sell it?

It's only a car I'd replace as a daily once the battery can't hold charge. Especially now that I put a L2 in my house, I don't see the point in going back to a gas car. It does make me want a manic sports car as a 2nd car, just to balance out all the refinement. |

I think it depends on what you expect from resale as well. Previous years I think it would be reasonable to sell a 3-4 year old car for 55-65% of the new price (roughly residual values), and I'd expect it to go back to that at some point.
Maybe EVs will hold their value and do a little better or maybe they'll be obsoleted quickly and end up in the 40% range after 3-4 years. Really hard to say. I thought for sure my e-tron would tank in value after the Polestar 2 and all the other new crop of EVs came out, but I basically sold it back for MSRP. It's just not something that is predictable so it's hard to make a decision based on it, but the most likely case is return to normal. Certainly after 15 years and 200k miles when it needs new brushes and battery it's not going to do well on resale, but most cars need significant work at that point. |

Caravana offered me $62k for my e-tron. Audi dealer took one look and offered $74k. I almost couldn't believe it and had to work at the poker face. I didn't consider that Carvana was struggling, I thought they were just trying to make a tidy profit.

Update: we are being made whole. BMW has decided to do the right thing and buy the car back. Thank you all for your encouragement and your understanding.
