boughted EV knowing very well there's no resale value
but who cares, can own for more than a decade is already worth the 200k anyway.
which sub-200k ICE car can actually retain much rv after 10y+ ownership?
take accord for example, 10 years ago - 169k, 10 years later - 40k-50k. similar priced EV (Xpeng maybe) maybe 10 years later used dealers take in 20k?
total maintenance over 10y sure less than ICE anyway. so the actual damage is?
you do the math.
tak rugi pun pakai EV.
Even current conti ICE car also drop value each year about 20-25%, some more the repair bill will cost a bomb, 5 figures is quite normal.

According to the Thailand study, premium BEVs (i.e., sports and luxury sedan models) fare better. But I don't think Tesla Plaid belongs under this category. Probably referring to Taycan, Lotus Electre alike...
Not really, BMW EV and Mercedes EV drop about 30%+ for the first year.
