The Tesla Model S is the most important electric vehicle of the last 20 years, but it rarely makes headlines anymore, even though it was the world’s best-selling electric vehicle for a couple of years, dethroning the much more affordable Nissan Leaf. It was quite an expensive car, and higher trim level models easily exceeded $100,000 when new, which is why it’s surprising to see how cheap you can get one these days.
Granted, the Model S P90D that YouTuber Samcrac found sitting in an auction lot was listed as “dead” and with “no access.” He bought it for $10,100, which is way lower than the average price for one of these cars.
