Only on the wholesale side. The retail residuals are pretty easy to see.
Honestly, this is a problem from a "Tesla isn't playing like the rest of the industry is" standpoint more than anything. Can you easily trade a Tesla in on another brand of car? Eh, probably not. Would you want to? I doubt many Tesla owners are that concerned.
There is some fuckery going on at Tesla about their CPO program, which weirdly ebbs and flows I think in part to drive demand to new cars at strategic times. But while that's personally frustrating (all I want is a 2014 P85, goddamnit), it's not the end of the world.
