I wonder what the used market will look like in five years.

like everything else, they will plummet in value if the vehicle is not reliable.

New model from a new company? These are never without problems.

They are affordable compared to other vehicles. Hopefully the secondhand market doesn't do the Prius thing where demand was enough to keep used prices in line with brand new.

Build quality is my one concern, but they are approaching it with simplicity in mind which increases the odds of being reliable.

It is my understanding that the majority of car batteries are very reliable and have held up better than expectations, with only a few outliers.

I am hoping that when I consider a new vehicle in a few years they are have sorted out the bugs and stayed ahead of demand so I can get one new or used for 25k or less.
