Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2022 Tesla Model 3 worth?
A 2022 Tesla Model 3 has a median retail value of $21,632, with most appraised between $17,936 and $24,380. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $7,500 across 300 recent sales — the middle 50% between $6,000 and $9,100.
Why is the 2022 Tesla Model 3 so cheap at auction?
Because auction lots are not retail cars. Most carry collision or flood damage, a salvage or rebuilt title, or are dealer-only liquidations sold as-is with no warranty. For the 2022 Tesla Model 3 that gap runs about 2.9× — $21,632 retail against a $7,500 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
How accurate is this 2022 Tesla Model 3 value estimate?
Prices reflect live Copart and IAAI sale data from the last 180 days. They are most useful for: gauging salvage rebuild margins, comparing private-party asking prices to the auction floor, and spotting overpriced dealer listings. For a clean-title retail estimate use the depreciation calculator.
