How much does the 2021 Tesla Model Y cost?

Prices are up 3.06% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 2,246 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

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.
