| 2021 | 463 | 31.5% |
| 2017 | 460 | 31.3% |

| 2020 | 370 | 33% |
| 2018 | 365 | 32.1% |

What is the Tesla Model S's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | $28,716 | −3.26% |
| 2021 | $45,678 | −0.74% |
| 2015 | $16,972 | +0.09% |
| 2022 | $47,092 | +0.36% |
| 2018 | $23,671 | +1.39% |
| 2017 | $21,431 | +1.5% |
| 2014 | $15,192 | +1.81% |
| 2023 | $57,833 | +1.92% |
| 2016 | $19,302 | +5.24% |
| 2020 | $33,267 | +5.65% |
Overall, the table shows a mixed resale picture rather than a single clear direction. Several years are rising, while a few recent ones are easing, so used buyers can still find opportunities depending on the model year they target. The biggest gains appear in older and mid-cycle examples, which suggests some versions are seeing stronger demand.
The 2015, 2021, and 2022 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.
The 2020, 2016, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.
Should I buy a used Tesla Model S now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2021 model is at −0.74% versus a year ago, and the 2019 model is at −3.26%.
- Deal availability: The 2021 model has 31.5% good and great deals.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $47,092.
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.

Jeff B
Reviewed a 2019 Tesla Performance AWD with Ludicrous Mode on Feb 7, 2025
By far the best vehicle I have ever owned, but what makes it special is that it gets better overtime with (free) software updates that improve or add new features. Tons of room, and fits all 3 car seats across the back row. I mostly let it drive me around but it's a great feeling to know that when I'm in the mood to get sucked into my seat, I just have to floor it and hold on. I've never let up without a huge grin on my face. My monthly gas budget was $250, and my utility bill increased by around $50, so it saves me $200 a month.

This was a great value. I had never driven a Tesla before and this experience was beyond rewarding. So easy to learn and such a comfortable, low maintenance yet sexy and sophisticated ride. Loved the extra space for shopping, and extreme comfort for passengers. Would rent over and over again above any other cars. Price was just as equally efficient compared to lower brands. I highly recommend.

Why it stands out
The 2021 Tesla Model S stands out as the year of Tesla’s biggest update yet, the “Palladium” refresh. It brought minor exterior design changes, an all-new interior with a yoke steering wheel, and an overhauled powertrain with a new battery pack and motors that increased efficiency, range, and power. That combination keeps the Model S feeling distinctive even among luxury EVs: it is still defined by advanced technology, strong performance, and the kind of acceleration that has long been part of its appeal.
For 2021, the Model S was offered as the Long Range and Plaid. The Long Range used dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, while the Plaid added three electric motors and standard AWD, with 1,020 horsepower. Range was listed at 405 miles for the Long Range and 348 miles for the Plaid. Standard equipment was also generous, including vegan leatherette seats, heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, adaptive air suspension, a glass roof, wireless phone charging, a premium 22-speaker, 560-watt audio system, adaptive cruise control, and a blind spot monitor.
There are a few tradeoffs to keep in mind. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were not available at all, and some buyers remain unsure about the yoke steering wheel design. Even so, the 2021 Model S is appealing for shoppers who want a luxury electric sedan with standout acceleration, a high-tech cabin, and a long list of standard features.
