How many Tesla's are on the road? What percentage has combusted? Do you have any sources to go with your statement "Tesla obviously has a problem"?
"A battery powered vehicle having a fire incident is newsworthy. A gasoline powered vehicle having a fire is newsworthy only if it stops traffic"

You sound like a broken record. Have you got any concrete evidence to say their first owners had to pay disproportionally large amount of money as result of your said high depreciation?
My evidence for my counter point is this: before 2018, deals like this were common:

A quick search on hotukdeals for Nissan Leaf shows lots of similar 2016/2017 deals. Doesn't look like the first owners are suffering as result of your "high depreciation"......
The headline high depreciation is a number skewed by the government grant. £30k car,
£5k gov grant, 16% depreciation from day 1, shock-horror, headline worthy!

Are you saying it looks like EV's are averaging better than petrol or diesels in depreciation?
