<< Maybe I'm just weird. Depreciation is irrelevant. It's not capital equipment to be expensed on my taxes**. I drive it until it dies. It's not an investment, it's a tool for transportation. Just like my Kitchen Aid mixer is a tool for baking (mostly). I don't worry about the depreciation of that, either.

I don't give a crap about depreciation. I care how about vehicle reliability, mileage/range, and some key features. >>

So do I. But if I can find someone else to pay the first few years of depreciation on a reliable used one ($40,000 of depreciation for the original owner of my Tesla), so much the better.
