The "value" set by manufacturer pricing models is bloated as if they are pricing in all the gas savings and reduced maintenance at purchase. It's not that EVs are unpopular or a shrinking market, they are overpriced by car makers, demand is lower until the price is reasonable.

This is everything to do with basic economics. If your price is too high, the residuals are lower. BYD, hyundai kia and others are simply better value, and premium EV are very expensive

Or, hear me out: the used market correctly reflects the actual value of something and auto & manufacturers are high on their own supply.

Please stop trying to “game” every system. Please. It is why we are where we are. The tech bros “gamed” our elections. Get with it, or get out of the way.

Because maintaining sports cars has always been so easy & affordable in the past

Because the cars are oversized. No one sane wants such a stupidly massive car.

Or just maybe these Porsches are massively overpriced and bought only by ruch douches with no sense of the value of money and not the real market prices them corectly?

1st world problems, but it’s gonna get real crazy if and when brands like BYD finally come onshore and add more quality options at lower prices.

The Porsche cayenne (SUV) also lost 1/2 it's value once you left the car dealership. You get them 2nd hand cheaper than a Hilux.

That's generally true of an EV as well, and not always true of a hybrid. Battery upgrades, which double the capacity, are priced at $13k for our first EV, a 2010 model which has saved us more in fuel than the car cost. We replaced our hybrid with an EV when the hybrid battery gave out, 150k miles.

Hybrids are worse than just straight up ICE.
