Tesla Model Y depreciation by country
The same car depreciates at different rates in different markets. Here's how the Tesla Model Y depreciation rate changes across the seven major markets we track.
Baseline market. Model Y resale was hurt by Tesla's 2023–2024 price cuts and expiring $7,500 tax credit arbitrage. Post-Juniper refresh, values have stabilized with strong demand from used EV buyers.
Strong demand in Quebec and BC thanks to EV rebates, but cold-weather range anxiety softens resale in the Prairies. Depreciation tracks slightly steeper than the US in CAD terms.
Model Y is the UK's top-selling EV, but benefit-in-kind tax changes and a flood of used examples have accelerated depreciation. Long Range AWD holds up best against rivals like the Kia EV6.
Gigafactory Berlin supply keeps inventory high, pressuring used prices. Norway and the Netherlands retain value better due to EV incentives, while Germany has seen sharper depreciation post-subsidy cuts.
Tesla launched officially in Saudi Arabia in 2024, but Supercharger coverage is still building. Desert heat concerns around battery longevity drag resale values below global norms.
Tesla has no official presence and import duties exceed 100%, making grey-market Model Ys rare and heavily depreciating. Service access is the primary resale risk.
Model Y is Australia's best-selling EV and a regular top-10 overall. Depreciation is moderate but accelerated by frequent Tesla price adjustments that reset the new-car benchmark.
Tesla Model Y depreciation after an accident
An accident on a vehicle's history permanently increases its depreciation rate, even after perfect repairs. Here's how much extra depreciation each severity level adds to a Tesla Model Y.
Paintwork, bumper scuffs, non-structural repairs. Disclosed on history reports but limited resale impact.
Panel replacement, airbag deployment, meaningful CARFAX entry. Significantly accelerates depreciation.
Frame damage, flood, salvage title. Permanent depreciation hit even after full restoration.
This "diminished value" is the extra depreciation a car carries after an accident. Insurance rarely reimburses it — our calculator bakes it into every depreciation estimate.
