In San Diego, the Model 3 market is showing a gap between current listings and recent transactions: the median ask is $24,039, while the last 30 days show a median sold price of $26,949. That pattern appears in most model years, especially 2020 and 2022, so a shopper should benchmark any listing against local sold comps from the same year rather than against the metro median alone. The metro median is also being shaped by listings averaging 65,387 miles, while newer 2024 and 2025 cars sit much higher on asking price. Inventory is broadest in Rear-Wheel Drive at 14 listings and Long Range All-Wheel Drive at 11, giving those trim shoppers more same-trim comparisons than the 6 Performance All-Wheel Drive listings.
- Recent sales are above live asks: In San Diego, the median active ask is $24,039, while the median sold price over the last 30 days is $26,949. There were 72 sold Model 3s versus 58 active listings, so recent transaction volume is larger than the current on-market supply.
- Most model years show sold prices above asks: In San Diego, sold medians are above asks in most model years. 2020 shows $17,999 asked versus $23,299 sold, and 2022 shows $24,989 asked versus $28,272 sold. 2024 is the exception, with a $34,585 median ask and a $34,300 median sold price.
- Year matters more than the market-wide median: The local sold-price ladder separates clearly by year: 2018, 2019, and 2020 sit at $21,968, $18,893, and $23,299, while 2024 and 2025 reach $34,300 and $37,795. 2021, 2022, and 2023 cluster in the middle at $24,199, $28,272, and $27,150.
- Mileage helps frame the metro median: Current San Diego Model 3 listings average 65,387 miles, and the market-wide median ask is $24,039. When a listing sits far from that median, mileage is part of the context to check, because 2024 and 2025 median asks are much higher at $34,585 and $36,295.
- Trim depth is strongest in rear-wheel drive: The largest active trim group in San Diego is Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive with 14 listings. Long Range All-Wheel Drive has 11 and Standard Range Plus Rear-Wheel Drive has 10, while Performance All-Wheel Drive has 6.
Bottom line: In San Diego, year-matched sold comps matter: the median ask is $24,039, but recent Model 3 sales are at $26,949.
