A Tesla owner in Georgia decided to sell his 2014 Tesla Model S for cheap after switching to another all-electric.
The EV driver bought the Pearl White Tesla Model S P85+ in June 2018.
Almost seven years, and 61,900 miles, later he decided to sell it.
And he decided to sell it with no reserve – meaning it sold for a surprisingly low price.

The Tesla Model S was in good shape
Tesla introduced the Model S EV in 2012 and a couple of years later, in 2014, the original owner of this example parted with $122,620 to get his hands on one.
Fast-forward a few years and it ended up with its new owner who himself recently decided to sell.
The 2014 Tesla Model S P85+ runs on an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that powers the rear-mounted electric motor, pumping out up to 416 horsepower.
When new, it had an estimated range of around 265 miles (426km), but this example isn’t new, it’s more than a decade old and has 140,000 miles (225,300 km) on its clock, which means it probably doesn’t get that sort of range these days.
Nonetheless, the vehicle isn’t it bad shape – a listing posted on Cars & Bids notes some chips and dings but nothing you wouldn’t expect on a car of this age.
It was involved in a crash last year, but its airbags didn’t deploy and it doesn’t seem to have sustained much damage.
Inside is a similar story with the odd signs of wear and tear but nothing too major.
Its owner decided to sell after buying a new vehicle
The Model S comes with the Tech package, including 21-inch Turbine wheels, Performance Plus with air suspension, a carbon fiber rear spoiler, leather upholstery, an Ultra High Fidelity sound system, and free unlimited Supercharging.
Since it left the factory it has had tinted windows, front and rear dashcams, and paint protection film applied to its front end.
The seller explained that he had decided to sell up after buying a 2020 Tesla Model S Performance, saying that he ‘loved the technology’.
He put the car up for auction with no reserve and it sold for $18,550 after attracting more than 50 bids – not bad, considering the average selling price for a 2014 Model S is around $26,000.
