They aren't. Tesla vehicles tend to hold their value quite well. Last time I looked used Model S's were still in the $40-$50k range.

You can always do oil analysis and let that drive your intervals.

Or you could do like Rich and rebuild a salvage Tesla for pennies on the dollar ... just don't weld in flip-flops like he does.

I made the mistake of welding in Crocs early on.

I knew solar energy was a zero factor in energy production, and that has been proven out. Solar Energy is absolutely worthless for energy production.

So, now they have these big huge windmills...

Just think of all the money and resources being wasted in "renewable energy" by your Government, which is 22 Trillion Dollars in debt.

Except that people like Rich and Samcrac and others have popularized this idea and the price of those cars has risen drastically on the salvage market at least from what Ive seen. Rich even mentioned it a while back. Still not a terrible idea if you have the money up front for the project. Also worth mentioning for Rich to do his 6k Model S (I think that is the right number) he had to buy 2 cars combine them and sell the remains.

And yes I am a Rich fanboy :)

That would require an entire category of tools, time, and skills that I don't have. :(

That said, his videos are fascinating to watch.
