If I were to guess, a Traverse would depreciate at a faster rate than a Tesla initially, but the more important question is which vehicle would you rather drive, and which vehicle better suits your needs?
Also, if you were to order a Tesla today, it could take months, if not years, depending on the model you choose, so you might be without a vehicle if you sell the Traverse immediately.
I agree a Traverse would depreciate faster than a Tesla. The numbers that I need to crunch are the price I can get for it brand new VS in a year from now.
I have a Tesla order from Sept '21 that keeps getting pushed but if I complete my profile I should see it soon.
I don’t check the “model 3 waiting rooms” on the Tesla forums any more but there were a couple people (at least) who gave up and took inventory after never getting their Feb/March 2021-ordered SR+ cars while Summer (and later) orders were being delivered left and right.
And that was a relatively small price hike (37,990 to 39,990)
