...What I’m seeing for the used Model Ss in my market is about 50% value retention at five years of age...
And on
what planet is
your market?

I too would love one of these "cheap" Model S's. Please send us links.
Completed sales on EBAY show 50% depreciation of a model S takes about three years, with highly optioned models losing value considerably faster than base models, about the same as with similarly priced ICEVs.
Completed (usually, many sales fall through) EBAY sales, here:

The green numbers are when reserves are met by bids/offers, and if the price looks high, check for a relisting of a fake sale.
Any S or X you buy today will likely depreciate in value more in the next year (post incentives) than any LEAF has since production began in 2010.
Back on topic, Model 3s
should retain value well
for a while, just as other Tesla's did, until production reached significant numbers.

Hmm if you switch it to show “sold” listings it looks like a bunch of poor schmucks made $15,000. I feel terrible for them.

Oh, and also ignore private listings, like the one "mtndrew1" posted above.
After taxes and expenses, it looks like you might make a few $k reselling a new 3...for the moment.
