The 2021 Tesla Model Y auction market at a glance

The middle half of sales ran from $500 to $6,500, a 13x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.

43% still ran and drove when sold; runners and non-runners were close to evenly split.

The most common primary damage was front end (49% of sales), followed by rear end (25%).

The monthly median moved up about 172% from April to September; medians swing with the mix of damage sold each month, so read that as direction, not a forecast.

Next to neighboring years of the Model Y, a 2022 brought $775 more at the median, and a 2020 brought $100 less at the median.

The typical one crossed the block with about 67,000 miles.

Wrecked 2021 Tesla Model Y questions

How much is a wrecked 2021 Tesla Model Y worth?

Most sold for $500 to $6,500 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $3,725 across 766 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.

Does it matter if my 2021 Tesla Model Y still runs?

Yes. 43% 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 Y or sell it whole?

At a median of $3,725, 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 Y 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.
