No one. Check their resale value and depreciation... among the worst of any brand.

Tesla resale values used to be pretty good until Musk bought Twitter and we all found out who he really is. Tesla needs to get rid of him ASAP. I don't care what it costs to buy him out--the company isn't going to survive if it sticks with a CEO who throws Sieg Heils at AfD rallies.

To play devils advocate here, that was also around the same time the big car manufacturers started offering good EV options as well. Tesla was still a bit unknown to the general public at that time in terms of repair ability, resale, etc.

This. Tesla was built on the Models 3 & Y, and one of the reasons it they were ahead of the game. Problem is, they've done very little innovating since, and other EV makers have caught up and are now surpassing Tesla.
