Is the premise that this is a garage queen car that stays stock and sits or is actually used for intention?

2017 Yellow.Series Current Used Avg Depreciation (27k avg) - 9.0756%

2016 Hyper.Blue Series Current Used Avg Depreciation (21k avg) - 26.2%

2015 Series.Blue Current Used Avg Depreciation (21k Avg) - 30.6587%

2014 Monogram Series Average Depreciation (~17k USD): 37.956%

2013 Series 1.0 Used Average Depreciation (~16K USD): 41.8076%

Those are for cars that were used.

I think you can plot a general trend from the limited used car data available and see relevance to limited pricing and where the tS would arrive:
  • New - $33,495
  • 0 - 1 yr - 30145.5
  • 1 - 2 yrs - 24786.3
  • 2 - 3 yrs - 23228.7825
  • 3 - 4 yrs - 20781.6378
  • 4 - 5 yrs - 19491.5443


It is a gross extrapolation based on limited data points. However, I think that is a reasonable guesstimate for a car actually driven. It may be higher, as I was calculating without TTL, but ball park.
