If you've been considering buying a used Tesla, such as the Model 3 or Model Y, you'll want to consider whether a standard range or long-range model works best for you. We have broken down the key differences below to help guide your shopping decision.

Pricing

While the price of a used Tesla will vary by each specific vehicle, standard range models are typically priced lower than long-range models. A lower price point could fit more easily into your budget, and could also mean you may find more standard range models qualify for the federal tax credit.

 Model 3$38,990 $47,740 
 Model Y$43,990 $48,990 
 

Performance


The standard range Tesla is configured with rear-wheel-drive for a sporty driving experience with smooth and quick acceleration.
