The Tesla Model S's current nationwide average price is $34,184, and its lowest point over the past year was $27,827. Recently, prices have eased on the 2021 models, while other recent model years have held firm or risen.

Is the Tesla Model S a good car?

Yes — the Tesla Model S is a strong pick if you want a used luxury EV with standout performance and advanced technology. The all-generations owner rating is 4.53/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Model S for its quick acceleration, high-tech cabin, and impressive range. Many also highlight the spacious interior, premium feel, and software-driven features that helped define the car’s appeal.

29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Tesla Model S models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently praise the Model S for its performance, advanced technology, and long-range capability. Across the model years in the data, the car’s appeal is reinforced by strong acceleration, a premium-feeling cabin, and a software-driven ownership experience.

  • Owners rate the Tesla Model S between 2.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is worth weighing carefully because build quality and battery or drivetrain concerns appear in owner feedback for some years.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Model YearAccident-Free %
202697.4%
202594.3%
202487.6%
202385%
202284.9%

201878.4%
201777.4%
201674.5%
201574.3%
201475.2%

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2014 models.

What Tesla Model S do most buyers choose?

The Tesla Model S years with the most listings are 2022, 2021, and 2017.

Model YearTotal ListingsGood + Great Deals %
202247729.4%
202146331.5%
201746031.3%
201638428.9%
202037033%
201836532.1%

These higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price and condition. They also sit in a sweet spot where newer features and broader availability often overlap.

What is the Tesla Model S's resale value?

Model YearCurrent Avg. PriceYear-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.
