Used Tesla Prices Plummet, Reinforcing the Depreciation Trend of Electric Vehicles (Instagram @teslamotors)
The prices of used Tesla cars have dropped significantly over the past year, with the Model S seeing an average reduction of 17.2%, equivalent to nearly $10,000.
Other models from the brand, such as the Model 3 and Model Y, also experienced significant drops, ranking among the top ten vehicles with the largest depreciations between March 2024 and March 2025. The Model 3, for example, now costs an average of $26,084, making it the best value among the three.
The study by iSeeCars, based on the analysis of 1.4 million vehicles aged one to five years, shows that the price cuts on Tesla’s new models directly impacted the used car market, accelerating depreciation. The company’s strategy of lowering prices to maintain sales growth has lost its momentum in the past year, when the automaker recorded its first annual sales decline. In the ranking of brands with the largest price reductions, Tesla leads with an average drop of 10.1% compared to the previous year.

In addition to Tesla models, other electric vehicles also appear on the list of those that have depreciated the most, such as the Porsche Taycan and Hyundai Kona Electric. In total, five of the ten models with the largest depreciation are electric vehicles, reflecting a trend of falling prices for these vehicles in the used car market. This year, used EVs have become cheaper than gasoline cars.
The research also highlights brands such as Chrysler and Maserati among those that have lost the most value over the last 12 months.
