The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.

VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full Model S report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The electric Model S: common questions

Which Model S years are electric?

2012–2026, without a break — 15 model years in our VIN decode, across 54 factory configurations and 69,814 VINs.

What does an electric Model S cost?

$19,900 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.
