A British Youtuber named Harley Perkins drew attention on social networks by bringing his Tesla Model Y, valued at about $ 70,000 at the time of purchase, for a UK used car buying service.
The goal was to find out how much the vehicle was worth after a year of use. Perkins had paid $ 71,300 for the car and, even less than 24,140 kilometers, was surprised by the result of the evaluation.

When visiting the company WeBuyAnyCarspecializing in the purchase of vehicles from the general public, he found that his Tesla was worth only $ 37.2 thousand, almost 50% lower than the original.
The store employee justified the great devaluation by classifying the car as “grade 2” due to minor body imperfections, and only impeccable vehicles receive the “Grade 1” seal.

The reaction of the followers was astonished, with many criticizing the service and commenting on the rapid loss of electric cars value. Some pointed out that the assessment might not reflect the real market value and accused the company of taking advantage of those who need fast money.
Despite the criticism, the case also served as a warning about the accelerated depreciation of vehicles, especially in the early years after the purchase.
