Do you wave a Gateway installed, or any Tesla hardware besides a charger installed?

Won’t work then, I think it’s just giving you the option if you are connected to a PowerShare system

You're not "eating" any depreciation unless you want to liquidate. I'm a long-time stock investor and it works the same way. You don't take a loss unless you sell.

But anyone who buys a brand new vehicle and doesn't expect massive depreciation in the first year needs to re-appraise how they look at money and new car purchases. Gas trucks purchased a year ago have just as much depreciation. I buy new vehicles to get many years of useage and enjoyment from them (and so I don't have to waste time dinking around with the used market). I mentally write off their entire purchase cost as soon as I buy them.

It's completely normal for a $100,000 vehicle.

In fact, in an auto market that is in decline, that's actually a very low depreciation. But the real point was that it only matters if you want to liquidate. I only buy new cars when I know I won't be liquidating for years.

It is for Tesla, look at the plaid Model S and X if you want to feel better
