Tesla Model S Depreciation Calculator
Calculate the Tesla Model S depreciation rate by year, mileage, and country — with accident-history adjustments and a year-by-year depreciation chart.
The Tesla Model S is the flagship electric luxury sedan that pioneered the modern EV era. Despite its class-leading performance and tech, the Model S has historically suffered from above-average depreciation due to frequent Tesla price cuts, battery-replacement concerns, and rapid model refreshes, though Plaid variants retain value better than base trims.

Tesla Model S depreciation by country
The same car depreciates at different rates in different markets. Here's how the Tesla Model S depreciation rate changes across the seven major markets we track.
Baseline market and Tesla's home turf. Aggressive new-car price cuts by Tesla have repeatedly compressed used Model S values, though Supercharger access and OTA updates help retention somewhat.
Cold-weather range concerns and expensive out-of-warranty battery service slightly steepen depreciation. Used Model S demand is concentrated in BC and Ontario.
Right-hand-drive Model S production ended in 2024, creating scarcity that modestly supports late-refresh values. Earlier cars depreciate faster due to limited Tesla service network coverage outside major cities.
The Model S has been largely eclipsed by the Model 3, Porsche Taycan, and EQS in Europe. Depreciation runs steeper, though Norway and the Netherlands show slightly firmer resale thanks to EV incentives.
Tesla only officially entered Saudi Arabia in 2024, so grey-import Model S examples depreciate heavily due to charging-infrastructure gaps and warranty uncertainty.
No official Tesla presence until recently; most Model S units are private imports facing ~100% duties. Resale is thin and highly negotiable, with depreciation accelerated by service scarcity.
Model S is imported in small volumes and overshadowed by the locally popular Model 3 and Model Y. Plaid trims hold value reasonably well among enthusiasts, but base Long Range cars depreciate sharply.
Tesla Model S depreciation after an accident
An accident on a vehicle's history permanently increases its depreciation rate, even after perfect repairs. Here's how much extra depreciation each severity level adds to a Tesla Model S.
Paintwork, bumper scuffs, non-structural repairs. Disclosed on history reports but limited resale impact.
Panel replacement, airbag deployment, meaningful CARFAX entry. Significantly accelerates depreciation.
Frame damage, flood, salvage title. Permanent depreciation hit even after full restoration.
This "diminished value" is the extra depreciation a car carries after an accident. Insurance rarely reimburses it — our calculator bakes it into every depreciation estimate.
