Used Model Y listings from $22,500

Tesla’s U.S. pre-owned inventory page on May 20 showed used Model Y listings starting at $22,500, confirming social-media claims that some examples of the electric crossover have fallen into the low-$20,000 range. The lowest-priced vehicle visible on Tesla’s site was a 2020 Long Range All-Wheel Drive Model Y described as a “Repaired Pre-Owned Vehicle” with 90,600 miles and 275 miles of estimated range. Other Tesla listings on the same page included a 2021 Model Y at $22,700 and several more between $23,800 and $25,000. The listings indicate that the floor for older, higher-mileage Model Y vehicles has moved lower in Tesla’s own used channel, even as many dealer listings remain above that level. ### Which Model Y was listed at $22,500? Tesla’s inventory page listed a 2020 Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive at $22,500 on May 20, located in Vienna and marked as a repaired pre-owned vehicle. The listing showed 90,600 miles, 19-inch wheels, five seats and 275 miles of estimated range, according to Tesla’s website. Tesla’s same inventory page also showed a 2021 Model Y at $22,700 in Clifton with 97,949 miles and 268 miles of estimated range. A 2021 repaired pre-owned Model Y was listed at $23,800 in Knoxville, and a 2021 non-repaired example appeared at $24,200 in Indianapolis. ### Is that price normal across the broader used market? Autotrader’s nationwide used Model Y page on May 20 showed a much wider market, with thousands of listings and prices ranging from $7,000 to $64,490. (tesla.com) The page also showed a used 2020 Model Y Long Range with 92,000 miles at $24,500 and a used 2021 Model Y Long Range with 35,000 miles at $28,985. CarGurus’ May 2026 deals page showed a 2020 Model Y in Bellingham, Washington, with 72,909 miles, while one 2021 Model Y Long Range AWD with 28,865 miles was listed at $29,563 and another 2021 example with 33,389 miles was listed at $29,076. (tesla.com) Cars.com’s under-$25,000 search page also showed Model Y listings below that threshold, including one at $24,999 and another at $23,230. (autotrader.com) ### Why are some used EVs now showing up under $20,000? Recurrent said in its Q1 2026 used EV market report that it tracks U.S. trends in used electric-vehicle pricing and availability, reflecting a market with broad price dispersion by model, age and condition. iSeeCars’ latest used-EV rankings showed several electric models now average below $20,000, including the Nissan Leaf at $19,081, though the Model Y was not among the sub-$20,000 examples highlighted there. (cargurus.com) Cox Automotive said in its April 2026 EV Market Monitor, published May 15, that the new and used EV markets were diverging as the broader market softened. That backdrop helps explain why older EVs with higher mileage, repaired status or shorter remaining range can surface at materially lower prices than newer or cleaner examples. ### What does “repaired pre-owned” mean for Tesla listings? (recurrentauto.com) Tesla’s support page says all pre-owned Tesla vehicles have an available AutoCheck history report and can be viewed through its pre-owned inventory channel. The lowest-priced $22,500 Model Y on May 20 was explicitly labeled “Repaired Pre-Owned Vehicle,” a designation that separates it from standard pre-owned listings on the same page. (coxautoinc.com) Tesla’s inventory page showed that repaired vehicles were mixed among standard pre-owned vehicles at the low end of the price range. Several non-repaired Model Y listings were still priced in the mid-$20,000s, suggesting that condition labels, mileage and location are all shaping the bottom of the market. ### Where can buyers check whether the price moves again? Tesla’s pre-owned inventory page updates live and remained the clearest source on May 20 for the $22,500 Model Y listing and nearby price points. (tesla.com) Autotrader, CarGurus and Cars.com also continued to show active U.S. listings for used Model Y vehicles, with asking prices changing by seller, trim, accident history, mileage and region.
