  • Cybertruck tops asks; Model S starts lowest: Cybertruck sits at the top of San Diego pricing, with a $65,990 median ask and a $72,000 median sold price, but volume is only 3 active listings and 3 sold. At the other end of current asks, Model S is lowest at $22,990.

Model X went the other way at $42,998 sold versus a $54,928 median ask, while Model S paired a $37,995 sold median with a $22,990 median ask.

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 third-party dealer feeds, 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.
