That's not the point. Combustion engines with too much mileage have no resale value either, but that's not the point, too. Electric cars usually give you easy ways to check for battery health, if anything it's much easier to assess the state of a car for electric ones. This is about nobody wanting to be associated with musk.
Stop 🤣. It's both. Modern engines go 100k+ no issues most the time. Additionally it's commonly a part vs buying a brand new engine. And a brand new engine is 7k installed not 15k.
All used EVs resale are plumiting in this market. Leases are absurdly cheap for customers and are going to bite manufacturers in the ass when they come due worth even less.
