According to the data of a number of domestic car sales platforms, the price of second-hand Tesla Model Y has been higher than the purchase price of new cars, and the vast majority of Tesla Model Y models listed for sale on multiple online second-hand car platforms are priced at about 300,000 yuan, which is about 24,000 yuan higher than the price paid by some new car owners when they first bought (and even 330,000 yuan).
Previously, some media quoted a second-hand car dealer as saying: "The most popular new energy vehicle in our store is Tesla, they sell like a cake, basically every time one comes in, it sells one", although according to the data, domestic consumers have different views on second-hand new energy vehicles, but Tesla cars have indeed shown their popularity, and it is also in the case that the price of second-hand cars is higher than the price of new cars.
In addition, a second-hand car dealer in Shanghai said: "The price of a new Tesla Model Y in September 2021 is about 276,000 yuan, but because it is now waiting about half a year to get a new car, the price of used cars has now risen to more than 300,000 yuan." And the dealer also added that we are buying used cars at a higher price than new cars..."
The popularity of Tesla Motors in China has remained high, but for various reasons, Tesla's supply to the domestic market will be delayed, which also leads to longer wait times for user orders, so some users who want to get Model Y right away may prefer to spend more money to buy used cars than wait for months of delivery time.
