Chicago, IL's used Model S market is not showing a large overall disconnect between current asking prices and recent sold prices: the median ask is $45,500 and the median sold price is $46,500. The current pool is 31 listings, and cars on market have averaged 27 days listed. But the year-level picture is less uniform, with 2021 at $49,878, 2022 at $47,376, and 2023 at $65,908, so shoppers should not assume each newer model year will ask more locally. With average listed mileage at 58,277 miles and most inventory concentrated in All-Wheel Drive trims, the strongest Chicago, IL comps will come from matching year, trim, and mileage together.

  • Sold prices are near current asks: In Chicago, IL, the median sold Model S price was $46,500 versus a current median ask of $45,500. With 65 sales over the last 30 days, 31 active listings, and an average of 27 days listed, this local market has been moving with a relatively small overall ask-to-sold gap.
  • Chicago's year spread is wide: At the older end of Chicago, IL's Model S market, 2015 listings show a $20,295 median ask. Newer years do not rise evenly: 2021 is at $49,878, 2022 at $47,376, and 2023 at $65,908.
  • Most local choice is in AWD trims: Of 31 active Chicago, IL Model S listings, 15 are Model S All-Wheel Drive. Plaid accounts for 6 listings and Model S Long Range for 4 listings, so the deepest local comparison set is in AWD rather than the smaller specialty trims.
  • Mileage should stay in the comparison set: The average listed Model S in Chicago, IL has 58,277 miles. When a 2021 median ask is $49,878 and a 2022 median ask is $47,376, year alone does not explain local pricing, so mileage and trim should be matched against those year medians.

Bottom line: In Chicago, IL, use year-, trim-, and mileage-matched comps: the overall Model S market is close at $45,500 ask versus $46,500 sold.

OwneDeals — The Independent Marketplace for Used Teslas

Browse thousands of pre-owned Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck listings from private sellers and verified dealers nationwide. AI-powered deal scoring, full price history, and direct seller messaging — no commission, no middleman.

Why shop for a used Tesla on OwneDeals?

OwneDeals was built by a Tesla owner who got tired of refreshing tesla.com/used waiting for good deals to appear. Today we aggregate inventory from the official Tesla used-inventory feed, licensed dealer feeds (via Auto.dev), and a growing community of private sellers — then layer on the tools we wished existed when we were buying:

  • AI deal score. Every listing is scored against comparable cars in the live market so you can see at a glance whether the asking price is fair, a steal, or above market.
  • Price history. Track how a listing's price has changed over time. No more guessing whether a seller is firm or already discounting.
  • Autopilot hardware lookup. Every VIN is decoded against the published Tesla HW transition windows so you know whether you're buying HW2.5, HW3 ("FSD Computer 1"), or HW4 ("AI4 / FSD Computer 2") before you message the seller.
  • NHTSA VIN verification. All listings are checked against the NHTSA vPIC database to confirm year, model, plant, and weight class match what the seller claims.
  • Direct in-app messaging. Talk to private sellers without handing over your phone number until you're ready.

How OwneDeals works

  1. Search — Filter by model, year, mileage, price, hardware version (HW3 vs HW4), Full Self-Driving status, paint, wheels, and ZIP-code radius.
  2. Compare — Open any listing for full photos, full spec sheet, the deal score, price history, similar cars within ±10% spec, and the safety-rating summary pulled from NHTSA.
  3. Message — Talk to the seller directly through OwneDeals. We never share your contact details until you choose to share them.
  4. Buy — Inspect the car in person, run an independent vehicle history report (Carfax / AutoCheck), and complete the transaction at a bank or DMV-approved location. See our Marketplace Safety Guide for the full checklist.

Selling your Tesla?

Private listings are free to post. Verify your VIN against NHTSA, upload a few photos (we accept a console screenshot to confirm you actually own the car), set your price, and you're live. Optional promoted placement is available for a flat fee — clearly labeled "Promoted" wherever it appears so buyers always know which positions are paid.
