CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Tesla Model Y

Summary
With 262 currently listed for sale and an average price of $27,232, 16.8% of 2021 Tesla Model Y listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Tesla Model Y 4.91 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2021 Tesla Model Y listings 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.

How much does the 2021 Tesla Model Y cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $26,673 |
| Year-Round Low | $24,722 |
| Year-Round High | $27,215 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $26,541 |
| Change vs. Last Year | +0.50% |
Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.
There are 2,080 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 — the 4.91/5 user rating points to very strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its electric nature, advanced technology, and fun driving dynamics, and many also highlight its eco-friendliness and performance. For you, that makes it a compelling choice if you want a practical electric crossover with a roomy cabin and a strong feature set. With 30.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop carefully.
Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y reliable?
Owners rate it 4.91/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience for many drivers, with praise centered on the vehicle’s electric nature and the confidence that comes from its long-term appeal. That said, used buyers should still think about battery health, software behavior, and overall condition as part of the ownership picture. A careful pre-purchase check matters because even a well-liked EV can carry long-term risk if it has been poorly maintained or heavily used.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Tesla Model Y?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still review the history report carefully and confirm there are no gaps in service or signs of prior damage. Put inspection priority on the battery, charging equipment, tires, brakes, and any signs that the touchscreen-based controls or driver-assistance systems are not working as expected. Focus on overall condition and how the vehicle has been used, since that can matter as much as mileage on a used EV.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Tesla Model Y?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.
- Deal availability: 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,080 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 81.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $24,722, 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 $26,673 sits slightly above last year's $26,541.
That small increase suggests the market has stayed relatively stable, which is helpful if you plan to resell later. A steady price pattern can support confidence that the model still has broad appeal without showing signs of a sharp drop in demand. For you, that means a well-kept example should remain easier to move than a vehicle with a weaker market profile.
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:
- 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.91/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2021 is a strong primary choice if you want a used Model Y with stable pricing, strong owner approval, and a healthy pool of listings to compare. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on whichever one gives you the best combination of condition, history, and asking price.
