Tesla has introduced on Friday a Certified Pre-Owned program for used vehicles in the United States in Puerto Rico, with prices beginning as low as $20,600 in the United States.
All pre-owned cars come with one free month of its Full-Self Driving (Supervised) and Premium Connectivity.
According to the company’s website, every vehicle listed by the company undergoes a 115-point inspection covering cosmetic, functional and structural components, and receives refurbishment by official Tesla technicians.
Buyers get a one-year or 10,000-mile limited warranty, retain any remaining coverage on the original battery and drive unit warranty, and receive a vehicle history report detailing past ownership, title and accident records.
The program was first noticed by Tesla shareholder and content creator Sawyer Merritt, who shared more details about the program on X.
Tesla‘s Certified Pre-Owned program in the United States lists hundreds of vehicles across five model lines, with prices starting at $20,600 for a 2018 Model 3 and climbing above $90,000 for low-mileage Cybertruck Cyberbeast variants, according to inventory data reviewed by EV on Friday.
The listings arrive as the company’s new-vehicle demand reaches levels that have stretched Model 3 delivery estimates into 2027 in its home market — following the introduction of the MyFirstEV incentive in California — and pushed the automaker past the 10 million cumulative production mark globally in late July.
Model 3: Widest Price Spread
A search centered around California’s zip codes returned results spanning Model 3s produced between 2018 through 2026.
At the bottom of the range, a 2018 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive with 98,266 miles listed for $20,600, or an estimated $303 per month on financing.
A 2021 Standard Range Plus with 61,715 miles followed at $24,700.
Several 2023 Rear-Wheel Drive units with mileage between 30,000 and 50,000 miles clustered in the $26,000–$29,000 band, while 2023 Long Range All-Wheel Drive variants with 40,000–50,000 miles priced between $30,000 and $34,000.
Higher up, 2024 Rear-Wheel Drive and Premium Rear-Wheel Drive units with mileage under 35,000 miles ranged from $32,700 to $37,300.
A handful of 2025 Premium Rear-Wheel Drive vehicles with fewer than 20,000 miles reached $40,000–$41,300.
At the ceiling, a 2026 Performance All-Wheel Drive with just 8,134 miles listed for $54,000 — the only 2026 model year Model 3 in the entire CPO pool.
Model Y in High Volume
The Model Y, Tesla‘s best-selling nameplate globally, showed the largest inventory of any model.
Local listings within 200 miles of Los Angeles started at $27,900 for a 2023 Performance All-Wheel Drive with 97,943 miles, followed by a 2020 Long Range All-Wheel Drive at $28,000 with 76,216 miles.
Dozens of 2021–2023 Long Range and Performance variants with 40,000–60,000 miles priced between $30,000 and $34,000.
All-Wheel Drive units from the 2023 model year without the Long Range or Performance designation — reflecting Tesla‘s mid-cycle trim restructuring — listed between $33,000 and $35,000.
Results stretching beyond California added further depth.
Long Range All-Wheel Drive units from 2020 and 2021 with higher mileage, above 80,000 miles, appeared from as low as $25,000 at locations in Kansas City, Totowa and McClellan Park.
Seven-seat configurations carried modest premiums of a few hundred dollars over comparable five-seat models.
Demand Context
The Certified Pre-Owned program’s expansion coincides with a period of heightened demand for new Teslas in the United States.
EV previously reported that the $34,990 Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive now carries a delivery window stretching to January–March 2027, a dramatic extension from four-to-five-week estimates shown in late July.
The backlog intensified after California’s MyFirstEV rebate program launched on August 3, offering first-time zero-emission vehicle buyers a $3,500 point-of-sale discount.
Tesla‘s allocation — about $18 million in combined state and company funds — was fully claimed within four days.
On the software front, a Tesla Model 3 owner crossed 25,000 miles on the company’s FSD streak counter without a single human intervention, a distance equivalent to one full lap around Earth.
The milestone underscores the maturing state of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in North America and aligns with CEO Elon Musk’s assertion during the Q2 2026 earnings call that buyers are increasingly entering Tesla stores asking for FSD first and choosing a vehicle second.
Production momentum supports the expanding inventory pipeline.
Tesla built its 10 millionth vehicle in late July, a Model Y manufactured at the Fremont factory.
The company added its most recent million units in approximately seven months, matching its fastest sustained production rate.
Second-quarter 2026 output reached 451,758 vehicles, a 10.6% sequential increase, while deliveries of 480,126 units marked the company’s best-ever second-quarter result and a 25% year-over-year gain.
