The 2021 Tesla Model S auction market at a glance
The middle half of sales ran from $5,200 to $12,000, a 2.3x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.
34% still ran and drove when sold; runners and non-runners were close to evenly split.
The most common primary damage was front end (58% of sales), followed by rear end (17%).
Next to neighboring years of the Model S, a 2022 brought $900 more at the median, and a 2020 brought $2,800 less at the median.
The typical one crossed the block with about 46,000 miles.

How much is a wrecked 2021 Tesla Model S worth?
Most sold for $5,200 to $12,000 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $9,300 across 105 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.
Does it matter if my 2021 Tesla Model S still runs?
Yes. 34% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.
Should I part out my wrecked 2021 Tesla Model S or sell it whole?
At a median of $9,300, it depends on which parts survived. Parting out grosses more on paper, but time, fees and the leftover shell eat into it; selling whole pays this week.
Can I sell a 2021 Tesla Model S with a salvage title?
Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
