I look at Tesla's used car program as the equivalent of a "certified pre-owned" program at a non-Tesla dealer. It jacks up the price for no real good reason other than it makes the buyer feel better about buying a used car.

As you hinted, the used value of any car (Tesla, GM, whatever) can't really be determined by the price a new car dealer would sell it for on their used lot. You need to look a private sales, and independent lot sales for what is closer to market value, in my opinion.
