In Chicago, IL, the Model S market is effectively split in two. The active median ask is $27,389 on cars averaging 68,425 miles, which lines up more closely with older 2015-2020 asks from $16,995 to $27,873. Newer 2021-2023 cars sit in a different band at $40,486, $45,956, and $65,078, and recent sold medians for those years are higher at $48,917, $49,400, and $65,600. If you're comparing local listings, match on model year and trim before using the market-wide median, because Chicago's 61 active listings and 48 recent sales are not centered on the same part of the Model S range.
- Recent sales sit well above the active median: In Chicago, IL, the active Model S pool is 61 listings with a median ask of $27,389, while 48 sales in the last 30 days had a median sold price of $53,300. That headline gap suggests the sold mix is newer or higher-spec than the current active pool, so year and trim matter more than the market-wide median alone.
- The local price curve changes after 2020: Chicago asking prices move from $16,995 for 2015 and $23,734 for 2018 to $27,873 for 2020, then step up to $40,486 for 2021, $45,956 for 2022, and $65,078 for 2023. For shoppers, that means model year is doing most of the work once you move past the older inventory.
- The median ask comes with meaningful mileage: Chicago's active Model S inventory averages 68,425 miles, even with a market-wide median ask of $27,389. In other words, the metro median is anchored by higher-mile, older cars rather than the 2021, 2022, and 2023 inventory asking $40,486, $45,956, and $65,078.
- AWD trims dominate the local choices: The largest trim pool in Chicago, IL is Model S All-Wheel Drive with 25 active listings, followed by Plaid at 10 and 100D at 8. Long Range is thinner at 4, so the metro-wide median is more influenced by mainstream AWD inventory than by scarce late-model trims.
Bottom line: In Chicago, IL, $27,389 buys the older, 68,425-mile part of the Model S market; 2021-2023 cars are trading much higher at $48,917-$65,600.
