Tesla Model S Submodels
The Tesla Model S debuted in 2012, and it's hard to overstate its impact. It wasn't just another EV; it was a premium sedan that was faster than most sports cars, offered over 200 miles of range from the start, and featured a revolutionary interior with a 17-inch touchscreen. Models like the P85D with its 'Insane' mode and the later P100D with 'Ludicrous' mode reset performance benchmarks for a production sedan.
As a collectible, the Model S represents a turning point in automotive history. Early production cars and high-performance variants are gaining interest from collectors who recognize their significance. With 371 recent sales and an average price of $33,224, the market is active. Early, high-mileage cars are now an affordable entry into a landmark vehicle, while the newest Plaid models still fetch strong prices.
Buying Tips
- Battery health is critical. Ask for a recent battery health report or perform a full-range charge to check for significant degradation.
- Inspect the 17-inch touchscreen for yellow banding around the edges, a common issue on pre-2018 cars. Test the MCU for lag, as early versions can be slow.
- Check for inconsistent panel gaps and paint imperfections, especially on 2012-2016 models.
- Verify vehicle features tied to the VIN, such as Autopilot hardware (AP1, AP2, etc.), free Supercharging status, and any performance upgrades.
- Test the air suspension, if equipped. Listen for a constantly running compressor and check if the car holds its ride height when parked.
Prices range from $1,000 for project cars to $137,000 for top-spec Plaid variants.
