After the high-profile announcement of the car rental company Hertz about the sale of its fleet of electric cars, hundreds of ads for the sale of used Teslas appeared online. Some of them sell at very low prices.
Recently, Elon Musk made loud statements that Tesla is preparing an affordable electric car for $25,000. The future model was named “Model 2”. However, recently there have been reports that the company is winding down the project.
Given that the American automaker is currently going through a bit of a crisis caused by falling stock prices, the debut of the Model 2 probably won't happen anytime soon. However, there are already some interesting offers on the secondary market for those who do not want to wait for an affordable electric car from Tesla.
After Hertz made an unsuccessful bid to electrify its own fleet, the company has thousands of electric cars for sale. Mostly, these are Tesla Model 3s, but there are also occasional Model Ss. It is worth noting that the mass sale attracted the attention of buyers, so most of these electric cars were sold in less than a month.
However, on the market used cars there are still plenty of such offers in the US. For example, in Seattle, Washington, a 2022 Model 3 with 137,220 km is on sale for just $23,313. There are also cheaper cars.
$16,950 is being asked for the 2019 all-wheel-drive model in Performance trim. The car is sold in California and has a mileage of 346,886 km. Interestingly, the cost of the new Tesla Model 3 Performance in the US starts at $40,490.
For the luxury connoisseur, the older Model S is too cheap. One of the best deals on the market is this 2013 electric car with just over 110,000 miles on the clock. The seller is asking just $12,749 for this Tesla.
There are plenty of similar cars on the market. There are even cheaper ones, but they have a questionable history of ownership or have been involved in road accidents. But for those who are looking for a crossover – there are no available offers. Only a few Model Xs and Model Ys are sold in this price range.
