90D on for £55k, from a new price around £92k (based on Tesla website current price). That's a 40% drop in 2 years. Seems to be bang on with any normal car depreciation curve, roughly 20% per year.

There's a P85D on there for £65k, I wonder how much that dropped.

You're right Goran, they are seemingly becoming cheaper - though that's partly because the Brexit-related devaluation of sterling has increased the ticket price of a new model S by around 15% in the last two years (the equivalent of mine would cost c.£15k more, last time I looked...).

The other key factor is that - for the first time - Tesla have actually been discounting new vehicles, particularly Model Ss, as they start to the feel the "I'll wait for a Model 3 at half the price" effect, and this is bound to continue to put pressure on second hand values for quite a while: doesn't impact on me though, as I'm keeping mine
