That is, of course, unless you’re shopping for Teslas, which are getting more affordable versus the rest of the car market.

Forbes reportsthat a used Model Y has dropped $6,000 on average over the last year. In March 2024, a Model Y with decent mileage would’ve gone for around $36,000.

Forbes notes that it’s not particularly difficult to find a Tesla Model Y with under 20,000 miles for under $30,000.

There are numerous reasons why buyers might be hesitant to purchase a Tesla or current owners might want to ditch their cars. Some may not agree with Musk’s increasingly right-wing political views, while others may want to avoid having their cars vandalized. While there are plenty of anecdotal reports of people selling their Teslas, there isn’t much firm data to quantify exactly how many people have done so or why.
