TVR cleverly did this for ages, they proped up the replacement market with buying back and upgrading, you took your chimera in for a service and they said "that's £1500 for the service, OR don't pay that, give us £40 per month more and you get a shiny new one", it worked for about 10 yrs then the arse fell out of that market....only just gone up now due to the classic market.

The tesla market can do this with £90k cars and a whole new market to buy market share in whilst it all gets going....it will be fun for a while until you get the £20k or no bids trade in out in the open market, they are predicted to depreciate 25%more than a new Range Rover and I can watch £20 notes vapourise whilst I look at my Rangie...it lost £40k in first 2 yrs of its life!
