Used Tesla for sale

Tesla used cars

Tesla is a leading manufacturer of electric vehicles (EVs), and its cars are well-known for their advanced features, long all-electric range and blinding performance.  

Tesla also has a strong focus on safety, with its cars achieving five-star ratings in crash tests. 

There's a range of models to choose from, including Tesla SUVs, Tesla hatchbacks and Tesla saloons.

History of Tesla

Unlike its mainstream rivals, Tesla is a very young company. It wasn’t founded in the early 20th century and instead was created by Elon Musk and partners in 2003. 

Despite this, Tesla is now one of the most valuable automotive brands in the world, building well over one million cars a year. 

A lot of its popularity was blown up by social media and one of its co-founders’ antics, but the truth of the matter is Tesla makes great electric cars with unrivalled battery technology and range. 

Standout Tesla features

Perhaps the largest appeal to a used Tesla is its extensive list of rather insane features.  

It’s got all the normal features you’d expect to find in a luxury electric car, such as A/C and a solid infotainment system, but Tesla takes it one step further.  

Some of the most advanced features include: Autopilot, which is a semi-autonomous driving system that can control the car's steering, acceleration and braking; Smart Summon, which allows the car to drive itself to and from you in a car park; and Sentry Mode, which is a security feature that uses the car's cameras to monitor its surroundings and record any suspicious activity. 

Being electric cars, reliability is strong too because there are fewer moving parts in an electric motor compared with an internal combustion engine.  

This is also thanks to Tesla ensuring its cars are built to a high standard. Safety is where Teslas really shine as they’re among the safest cars on the road, with all models scoring a full five-star rating in their most recent Euro NCAP safety tests. 

Driving a Tesla

They might be predominantly family cars, but that doesn’t mean they’re not fun to drive. Being electric means you benefit from instant torque, which, in a Tesla, makes it feel like a rocket ship. 

Tesla cars for sale are fairly affordable to run too. They may not be the cheapest to buy, but running costs are kept to a minimum by avoiding petrol and diesel costs.  

They have very efficient electric motors, and as a result, the average Tesla owner spends around £200 per year on electricity to power their car.  

A used Tesla is a good option if you’re looking for an advanced, efficient and safe EV with an all-electric range of up to 400 miles. Plus, if you like tech, you’ll love any of its models. 

Popular used Tesla cars

Tesla doesn’t make a lot of different models, which means your choices can be more concentrated. Tesla cars for sale include the Model S saloon, Model 3 hatchback, Model X SUV and Model Y crossover. 

Whether you’re in need of a larger family car or a nippy hatchback for city life, you’ll be able to find what you're looking for with a Tesla.
