How much does the 2021 Tesla Model Y cost?

Prices are up 4.42% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 1,945 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Tesla Model Y earns a 4.9/5 user rating, which 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 strong fit if you want an EV that feels quick and modern, with everyday usefulness from its SUV shape and cargo space. With 32.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to a dependable ownership experience, with repeated praise for its trouble-free feel, long-term appeal, and the sense that it’s a vehicle you can count on. That said, used buyers should still think about long-term ownership risk in the usual way: verify condition carefully, because technology-heavy EVs can be more expensive to sort out if prior care was inconsistent.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Tesla Model Y?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should start with the history report and confirm the car’s accident and title status before anything else. Then prioritize a thorough inspection of the battery, charging equipment, tires, brakes, and touchscreen-based controls, since those are the areas where condition matters most on a used EV. It also helps to focus on overall wear and software/functionality consistency, because the Model Y’s tech-heavy setup makes condition especially important.

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 with some leverage if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,945 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 4.42% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 78.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,714, 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 $27,102 sits slightly above last year's $25,956.

That price movement suggests the market still values this model year well, which is a positive sign if you plan to resell later. A stronger current average can help support your exit price, especially if you buy a clean example and keep mileage and condition in check. Demand should remain helped by the model’s strong owner satisfaction and broad appeal among EV shoppers.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, 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:

• 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 4.42% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: The 2021 is a strong choice if you want the updated Model Y formula with high owner satisfaction, solid inventory, and a market that still supports demand. If you’re especially price-sensitive, it can also make sense to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-priced example rather than chasing a specific model year alone.
