Tesla announced on July 6 that it is ending its resale value guarantee programme , which assured owners their cars would lose value over time , as well as raising the entry - level price of the Model X to $ 74,000 reflecting a saving of $ 9,000 . In contrast, resale values for mass market electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf are depressed, Min said. It would appear that one reason for ending the resale value guarantee programme is that it was simply not needed , as used Teslas hold their value better than almost any other car , particularly in the UK .
