According to figures unveiled by a survey of the Leboncoin online sales site, the Tesla coast is down. The average price of transactions has decreased drastically in one year.
The Tesla coast is at half mast. The cars of the Californian manufacturer, Model Y and Model 3 mainly would find it difficult to sell in France. Worse: their resale price would be down. It is Leboncoin, the online sales platform for individuals and professionals who reveal this trend after having looked into the state of the second -hand market for Tesla in recent months.
The least we can say is that the conclusions of the classified ads site, owner among others of the Argus, are alarming for the owners of Tesla and in particular those who would consider separating from their electric car. In one year (from May 2024 to May 2025), the average price of Tesla sold on Leboncoin would have dropped by 14 %. Indeed, in May last year, one Tesla sold an average of 37,479 euros. A year later, this value was increased to 32,176 euros, a depreciation of more than 5,300 euros in twelve months.
The trend is not only very clear, it is also continuous since if we linger over the last six months, the drop in average selling price is 6 %.
Increasingly short sales times
If the average value of Tesla is decreasing, the time required to sell them has been considerably reduced. The proof undoubtedly that the French public has not completely diverted from the brand of Elon Musk or, more simply, that it is very sensitive to a significant drop in the sale price.
According to Leboncoin, the average period of advertisements from professionals went from 188 days in May 2024 to 106 days in December 2024 and then at only 56 days in May 2025. It would take less than two months on average to a professional seller to find a Tesla currently, three times a year as a year ago.
The classified ads platform also brings some additional encrypted analysis elements by revealing the number of announcements concerning Tesla every day. So if on the side of professionals have between 125 and 250 online ads every day (a stable figure all year round), the individual market experienced a peak in advertising of announcements between December 2024 and March 2025, before returning to a more usual level from April.
It is clear that this peak of resale also corresponds to the period during which the boss of the brand, Elon Musk was at the head of the DOGE (department of government efficiency). Period during which he multiplied controversial declarations alongside Donald Trump.
These bad figures are also to be compared with the sales figures for new tesla, which have reached historically low levels. Thus, in May, Tesla sold only 700 cars, its worst assessment in France in three years.
