CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Tesla Model Y

Summary
With 318 currently listed for sale near Lakeland, FL and an average price of $25,421, 13.2% of 2021 Tesla Model Ys for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Tesla Model Y 4.91 / 5 stars.
98.7% of 2021 Model Y models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Tesla Model Y stands out as an electric crossover that blends strong performance, generous standard equipment, and unusual packaging. It was based on the Tesla Model 3 and shared 70% to 75% of its parts, but it added a taller, coupe-like SUV body with a rear hatch that gives it extra versatility and lots of space. Standard equipment was notably rich for the class, including 12-way power-adjustable seats, a 15-inch infotainment touchscreen that doubles as a gauge cluster, heated front and rear seats, reclining rear seats, a glass roof, four USB ports, video streaming capability, a top speed of 150 mph, and Autopilot. It also offered generous cargo space with under-floor storage in the rear and a front trunk.
For 2021, the Model Y gained several meaningful updates. Tesla switched from radar-based driver-assistance hardware to a camera-based system called Tesla Vision, and full-production changes included optional third-row seating, a heated steering wheel, dual-pane front windows for noise reduction, and a lower-priced Standard Range RWD model with a single electric motor and an EPA-estimated 244 miles of range. The Long Range model’s range estimate was boosted to 326 miles. Owners also tend to praise the Model Y’s electric nature, advanced technology, and fun driving dynamics, though some note its firm ride, lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the fact that almost all controls are handled through the touchscreen.

Amazing car! Smooth ride, very clean. Lots of room and very tech advanced. Best car I’ve own. Would prefer more miles per 80% charge but the pros make the purchase worth it.

Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y a good car?
Yes — 4.91/5 is a strong user rating, and it points to a very satisfied owner base. Owners consistently praise its electric nature, advanced technology, and fun driving dynamics, while also calling out its eco-friendliness and performance. For you, that means this model year makes the most sense if you want an EV crossover with a roomy cabin, strong standard equipment, and everyday versatility. With 31.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s also enough market activity to help you shop selectively.
Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y reliable?
Owners rate it 4.91/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The review summary also emphasizes that owners see it as dependable and enjoyable over time, with repeated praise for its electric nature and trouble-free ownership experience. That kind of feedback matters if you want a used EV you can count on for daily driving and longer-term use. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the rating and more about making sure the specific vehicle has been well cared for and documented.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Tesla Model Y?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still run a history report on every candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Put inspection priority on overall condition, especially signs of wear, uneven panel fit, or anything that suggests the car has had a harder life than the listing implies. Focus on how the vehicle presents in person and whether the seller can support the car’s condition with clear records.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Tesla Model Y?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,246 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices are up 3.06% year-over-year.
- Clean inventory: 82.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $24,719, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Tesla Model Y's resale value?
The current average of $26,849 sits slightly above last year's $26,053.
That upward move suggests the market has held up reasonably well for this model year, which is a positive sign if you plan to sell later. A stable-to-rising price trend can help protect your equity, especially if you buy at a competitive number and keep the vehicle in strong condition. Strong demand for well-kept examples should continue to support future resale interest.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.91/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Tesla Model Y or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices are up 3.06% year-over-year.
- Owners rate it 4.91/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line:
The 2021 is the right pick if you want a well-liked Model Y with strong owner satisfaction, solid inventory, and a price trend that still reflects healthy demand. If you’re more price-sensitive, a nearby year may be worth comparing for a lower entry point, but the 2021 remains a strong primary choice when you want a balance of desirability and market support.
