The Second Owner

Real miles. Real receipts.

What a used Tesla really costs.

We bought a 69,000-mile 2023 Model Y from a Carvana vending machine, and we plan to drive it until it dies. We drive about 2,000 miles a month and track every charge, repair and dollar, so you can see where a used Tesla is headed before yours gets there.

Battery and range

Tesla says it's healthy. The range says 280 miles. We test it, and keep testing it as the miles stack up.

The real costs

Charging, insurance, tires, repairs after the warranty runs out. Every number comes with a receipt.

Living with it

Road trips, Superchargers, a skeptical family and the tech, judged by people who actually drive it every day.
