I looked at your links. Fascinating that we have the same source site, but apparently different results.

We don't have different results, you just can't seem to read a simple picture for some reason. See how that 2018 Toyota is worth over the 80% line and the Tesla is below the 80% line? I've seen self owns here before, but this was impressive.

You're quick to become insulting. You should look into that, because it makes you seem like a total asshole where it's entirely possible that you are not one.

The difference here is that I'm looking at longer ownership times, so I was focusing on year 2012. Toyota is still somewhat better, though, but Toyotas are famous for having very long lives. Volkswagen is at about the same level.

That wasn't me being insulting. Do you think this EV rental company is comparing their 2012 resale values, or do you think they're comparing their 3-5 year values? In the US, around two thirds of owners own their car for 5 years or less. This is why the links I posted compared vehicles at 3, 5, and 7 years.

That makes sense. You're right, and I appreciate the correction.
