Model S Plaid Crashes to $46K: Insane Deal or Hidden Risks?
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you've been keeping an eye on the used Tesla market, you've probably noticed something wild: Model S prices are plummeting. Today, I want to dive into one of the craziest deals I've seen lately—a 2021 Model S Plaid for just $46,000. That's right, a flagship Tesla for Model 3 or Y money. Let's break it down.
The Deal Breakdown
This isn't some sketchy private sale—it's straight from Tesla with a one-year warranty. Sure, it has about 90,000 miles on the clock, so the standard 4-year/50,000-mile warranty is long gone. But here's the good news:
- Battery warranty is still intact (Tesla's legendary 8-year coverage).
- It's a 2021 refresh model—late 2021, when they introduced the updated design, yoke steering, and all the modern goodies.
- Aftermarket warranties are an option if you want extra peace of mind.
For $46K, you're getting a ton of car: tri-motor Plaid power, air suspension for that buttery-smooth ride, and luxury that still turns heads.
Market Trends: Prices Keep Dropping
Check out CarGurus data—2021 and 2022 Model S listings are deep in the red year-over-year. Even without new Model S or X production holding values up, prices are sliding lower. It's a buyer's market out there!

My Personal Experience with the Model S
I've been there—we snagged a brand-new 2021 Model S for about 6 months just to check it off the bucket list. Verdict? Fun as hell. The air suspension makes it glide over roads like nothing else, and the performance is addictive. If I didn't have my current fleet, I'd absolutely jump on one of these deals.

Must-Have Accessory: 3W Liners Floor Mats
One thing a new Tesla won't come with? Proper protection for your interior. My top pick: 3W Liners all-weather floor mats. I've tested them all—3D Maxpider, Tesmanian, Amazon knockoffs—and these are the best by far.
- Perfect fit for Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and even Cybertruck.
- Durable, easy to clean, and edge-to-edge coverage.
