Tesla used automotive costs are falling at 3 times the speed of the remainder of the used automotive market, which can also be happening.
When new gross sales and used gross sales aren’t going properly, it’s an enormous crimson flag.
I attempted to commerce in my Mannequin 3 Efficiency 2018 with fewer than 40,000 miles on the odometer final yr, and Tesla principally supplied me a Starbucks present card and a goat.
It bought me frightened and that was late final yr earlier than the majority of Tesla’s model destruction that occurred over the previous few months.
We now have a greater thought of what’s taking place with Tesla’s used automotive gross sales worth because of CarGurus.
In keeping with their knowledge from automotive listings, used Tesla automobiles have seen their costs lower by 3.7% over the past 3 months and seven.26% over the past yr – about 3 occasions the speed of the remainder of the market:
| Make/Mannequin | Avg Worth | Final 30 days | Final 90 days | Yr over Yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CarGurus Index | $27,014 | +0.35% | -1.12% | -2.68% |
| Tesla | $29,552 | +0.05% | -3.7% | -7.26% |
Regardless of being a “premium model,” Tesla’s costs are coming actually near the CarGurus common.
Tesla has truly been up barely within the final 30 days, which is shocking contemplating what is occurring with the model. Nonetheless, as you may see, the remainder of the market is up considerably greater than Tesla.
Moreover, when breaking down Tesla’s used automotive worth tendencies per mannequin, we will’t see that solely the Mannequin X is up:
| Make/Mannequin | Avg Worth | Final 30 days | Final 90 days | Yr over Yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cybertruck | $91,924 | -4.57% | -11.46% | -58.28% |

Cybertruck is dragging Tesla’s total used worth efficiency down with a 58% drop in used costs over 12 months – however that’s a bit deceptive since a yr in the past, folks have been nonetheless making an attempt to flip them for a revenue.
Nonetheless, the 11.5% drop within the final 3 months is extra indicative of the present pattern of used Cybertruck costs.
The extra worrying and impactful tendencies for Tesla are the 4.2% drop in used Mannequin 3 costs and a couple of.9% drop in used Mannequin Y costs over the past 3 months.
Electrek’s Take
This isn’t shocking, contemplating how many individuals are promoting and buying and selling of their Tesla automobiles as they need to distance themselves from the model and Elon Musk specifically.
You improve the availability, you lower the costs.
A lot for Tesla automobiles changing into “appreciating property.” They’re actually depreciating at 3 occasions the speed of the remainder of the market.
