Is a 300,000-Mile Tesla Model Y a Steal at $13,900? Let’s Dive In!
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! Today, I stumbled across a fascinating deal on a Tesla Model Y with a staggering 316,000 miles on the odometer. At first glance, I had to ask myself, "Is this actually a good deal, or am I missing something?" Let’s take a closer look at this high-mileage electric vehicle (EV) and see if it’s worth the asking price of just $13,900.
The Tesla Model Y in Question
This particular Tesla is a 2020 Model Y Long-Range All-Wheel Drive, sporting a sleek black-on-black color scheme. Here are the key details:
- Mileage: 316,000 miles (yes, you read that right!)
- Price: $13,900 (or potentially $9,900 after a $4,000 used EV tax credit, if eligible)
- Condition: Clean title, no accidents, warranty expired
- Range: 250 miles on a full charge
- Features: Full Self-Driving (FSD) fully paid for
- Location: Colorado
- Bonus: Battery replaced in August 2022
Shoutout to my friend over at Cheap Tesla for posting these incredible finds. If you’re on the hunt for affordable Teslas, make sure to follow him on Twitter or Instagram. And don’t forget to mention the "Dennis Deal" for a potential hookup! Unfortunately, this specific Model Y sold super quickly, but there are always more deals popping up.
Why This Deal Caught My Eye
Let’s be real—316,000 miles is a lot for any car, let alone an EV. You’d expect some wear and tear on the exterior, and it’s safe to assume this Tesla has seen better days cosmetically. However, there are a few reasons why this deal might still be tempting:
- Price Point: At $13,900, this is dirt cheap for a Model Y, especially a Long-Range Dual Motor version with FSD included. If you qualify for the $4,000 used EV tax credit, it drops to under $10,000. That’s unheard of for a Tesla of this spec!
- Battery Replacement: The battery was replaced in August 2022, which is huge. Considering the mileage, it’s likely the original battery was swapped under warranty before it expired. The current battery probably hasn’t seen nearly as much wear as the car’s total mileage suggests.
- Full Self-Driving: FSD is a pricey add-on, often costing thousands of dollars. Having it fully paid for adds significant value to this deal.
On the flip side, with over 300,000 miles, other components like the suspension, brakes, and interior are likely showing their age. Maintenance costs could add up if you’re not prepared for potential repairs.
What Do You Think?
I’m curious to hear your thoughts! Would you take a chance on a Tesla with this kind of mileage for under $14,000 (or even under $10,000 with the tax credit)? Or would you rather save up for a lower-mileage option? Drop a comment below and let me know if you’d jump on a deal like this or pass it up for something else.

Must-Have Tesla Accessories for New Owners
Speaking of Teslas, did you know that when you buy one, it comes with zero accessories? Not even a phone mount! Don’t worry, though—I’ve got you covered with some must-have accessories that every Tesla owner should consider. These are especially important if you’re picking up a used Tesla like the one we just discussed.
Here are my top picks, all available from my awesome partner, Jowua:
- Phone Mount: Keep your phone secure during those quick Tesla accelerations.
- Center Console Organizer: Trust me, without this, you’ll lose everything in that deep console.
- Underscreen Storage Mount: My newest favorite—a sleek spot to store sunglasses or other small items.
But that’s not all! Jowua also offers cool extras like a wireless game controller (perfect for stashing in the glove box), a portable air compressor for peace of mind on road trips, and even an electric scooter so you don’t have to walk from Superchargers or Level 2 chargers.
