2019$20,599$18,752 – $21,013

The Tesla Model 3's current nationwide average price is $25,424, and its lowest nationwide average price over the past year was $22,286. Recently, prices have held firm or risen year-over-year across the most recent model years.

Is the Tesla Model 3 a good car?

Yes — the Tesla Model 3 is a strong pick if you want a used electric sedan with a high owner rating and broad appeal across model years. The all-generations owner rating is 4.76/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise its quick acceleration, smooth handling, and advanced technology. Many also value the minimalist interior, efficient operation, and low-maintenance ownership experience.

25.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Tesla Model 3 models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the Tesla Model 3 for its performance, innovative technology, and low-maintenance ownership experience. Expert and owner feedback also points to smooth handling, strong acceleration, and an efficient electric drivetrain as recurring strengths.

  • Owners rate the Tesla Model 3 between 1.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is shaped by the condition of the battery, charging system, and software-related features, so a careful pre-purchase inspection and vehicle history review are especially important.

What should I look for when buying a used Tesla Model 3?

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 77.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Model YearAccident-Free %
202683.4%
202582.3%
202479.9%
202377%
202276.7%
202175.5%
202078.1%
201976.9%
201876.4%
201774.2%

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2018 models.

What Tesla Model 3 do most buyers choose?

The Tesla Model 3 years with the most listings are 2022, 2023, and 2021.

Model YearTotal ListingsGood + Great Deals %
20222,51925.1%
20232,10623.8%
20211,88426.2%
20191,85728.6%
20201,81628.9%
20241,75523.1%

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right price, mileage, and condition. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and broader used-market availability.

What is the Tesla Model 3's resale value?

Model YearCurrent Avg. PriceYear-Over-Year Change
2018$19,619−2.45%
2020$22,421+0.59%
2019$20,599+0.65%
2025$37,653+1.23%
2021$23,305+1.28%
2022$25,291+2.0%
2024$36,049+2.87%
2023$27,746+6.35%

The table shows a mostly rising pattern, with several model years posting positive year-over-year changes. That means used shoppers are seeing prices that are generally firm rather than broadly falling. The largest increase appears in the 2023 model year, while the 2018 model year is the only one showing a decline.

The 2019 and 2020 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2023, 2024, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

Should I buy a used Tesla Model 3 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

  • Price trend: The 2018 model is at −2.45% versus a year ago.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $25,291.

If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the newest version, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

These recommendations are based on CarGurus' proprietary market data from October 6, 2026, CarGurus experts' opinions, and generative AI.

*CarGurus meticulously monitors the prices of millions of pre-owned vehicle listings, offering users precise and up-to-date market insights. Historical pricing data excludes any additional dealer fees as of May 3, 2026.
