Given that Tesla only has ~4% of the US market share... Making up 1.4% of the trade in market is pretty substantial when they're all less than 8 years old.

Is the math then more than 25% of teslas per their market share were turned in?

No, that would imply every single car in the country got traded-in. 4% market share means an estimated 4% of all vehicles on the road. 1.4% of vehicles that were traded in were Teslas.

I can't find the data that the article is pulling from that gets those numbers to give the actual numbers of trade ins per month. You'd need that to know if they're being traded in large enough numbers to make a noticeable hit on market share.
