CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Tesla Model Y

Summary
With 217 currently listed for sale near San Antonio, TX and an average price of $27,522.00, 27.2% 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.
100.0% 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, more SUV-like body with a rear hatch that gave 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 Tesla’s Autopilot system. 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 also brought 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. Buyers drawn to the Model Y often value its long range, quick acceleration, and broad feature set, while owners also tend to praise its technology and driving enjoyment.
There are tradeoffs, though. The Model Y lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, has a firm ride, and routes almost all controls through the touchscreen. That makes it appealing to buyers who want a tech-forward EV with strong utility, but less so to shoppers who prefer a more traditional interface or a softer, more luxurious feel.

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.

Owners rate it 4.91/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The review summary points to a vehicle that owners often find dependable and easy to count on over time, especially when they value its electric nature and advanced technology. That kind of feedback suggests the ownership experience can be reassuring if you want a used EV with strong day-to-day appeal.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the basic concept and more about how well the individual vehicle has been maintained and used.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Tesla Model Y?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with the history report so you can confirm accident status and spot any title or ownership issues. Then prioritize a thorough inspection of the vehicle’s condition, especially anything that could affect how the touchscreen-heavy controls, ride quality, or overall usability feel in daily driving.
Because this model year leans heavily on technology, you should also focus on whether everything works as intended and whether the car has been cared for consistently.

What is the 2021 Tesla Model Y's resale value?
The current average of $26,915 sits slightly above last year's $26,048.
That upward move suggests the market has remained willing to pay for this model year, which is a positive sign if you plan to sell later. A price increase like this can support stronger resale expectations, especially when demand stays steady and inventory remains active.
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:
- 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices are up 3.33% year-over-year.
- Owners rate it 4.91/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line:
If you want the strongest mix of owner satisfaction, current market activity, and updated features, the 2021 is the primary year to target. If you are more price-sensitive, you can still compare nearby years to see whether a lower asking price outweighs the 2021’s stronger market position and feature set.
