How much is a used Tesla?

Are used Teslas less expensive than new ones? I would love to get a Tesla without having to get on the waiting list or anything like that, but I don’t want to get a used one if it’ll just be more expensive than a new one.

Used
Teslas
vary quite a bit in price, so you might pay anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000. There are a few different factors that can influence the price of a used Tesla, including:
  • The model
  • The model year
  • The mileage
  • The condition of the vehicle
  • The trim level
Here are the approximate price ranges for a number of used models:
  • 2012
    Model S
    : $29,000 to $33,000
  • 2015 Model S 85: $43,000 to $48,000
  • 2018
    Model X 100D
    : $73,000 to $80,000
  • 2020
    Model Y Performance
    : $62,000 to $71,000
  • 2020 Model S Performance: $88,000 to $95,000
Since Teslas have been known to have a lot of cosmetic issues, you’ll want to check for any visible problems before you purchase a used Tesla. Specifically, Teslas are notorious for having misaligned panels, which can definitely affect the car’s release value.
Since the cheapest new Tesla has a base price of $48,190, you’ll want to make sure that you’re buying a cheaper used vehicle if your main goal is saving money. However, it’s also important to avoid high mileage vehicles if you want your car to last for a long time!
