What is your Tesla worth as a trade-in?

Start with an estimated trade-in range for your Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X or Cybertruck, then get a personal appraisal from our buyers in Norco or South El Monte. Trade it toward your next car, or sell it to us outright — no obligation to buy.

What changes a Tesla's trade-in value

Battery health. The range your car shows at a full charge is real evidence of pack health. See how we check it on our battery health page.
Mileage and age. Lower-mileage cars generally appraise higher, all else equal.
Trim and options. Long Range, Performance and Plaid trims, and options such as Full Self-Driving, can change what buyers will pay.
History and title. Accident history and a clean title support a stronger appraisal — every car page on our site includes a history-report lookup.
Condition. Interior, tires, glass and wheels are all part of the in-person appraisal.
Local demand. What Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley buyers are shopping for right now moves real offers.

Trading in vs selling your Tesla

Trading in applies your Tesla's value toward the car you buy next, in one visit at either store. Selling outright pays you for the car with no purchase. Either way, the first step is the same: the estimate and appraisal request on this page. Trading toward another Tesla? Browse our used Teslas for sale or the full used EV inventory.

Tesla trade-in questions

How fast will I hear back about my Tesla?

Send the appraisal request and a Premium Autos specialist will reach out during business hours. The online range is an estimate only — your personal appraisal is the number our buyers stand behind after reviewing your car's details.

Do I have to buy a car from Premium Autos?

No. We buy Teslas outright even if you don't buy from us, and you can also apply your trade-in value toward any car in our inventory.

Can I trade in a Tesla with a loan balance?

Yes. Tell us about any remaining loan balance in the appraisal request and our team will walk through how it applies when you visit.

What if I don't have my VIN handy?

The instant estimate needs your 17-character VIN, mileage and ZIP. For the personal appraisal, the VIN is optional — your Tesla's year, model and mileage are enough to start.
