Tesla is preparing for a major transition as it says goodbye to its most seasoned luxury vehicles. While the automaker officially closed Model S and Model X orders at the end of March, the flagship SUV isn’t fading away quietly. In fact, it is currently the hottest ticket in the pre-owned market.
The Fastest-Selling Used Car in the Country
According to a new used car market study from iSeeCars.com, the Tesla Model X was the fastest-selling used vehicle in the U.S. for March 2026. On average, a used Model X finds a new home in just 25.6 days. To put that in perspective, the typical used car usually lingers on the market for 58.8 days.

It is a surprising turnaround for a luxury, six-figure SUV that has been around for over a decade. “Many people assumed the recent spike in gas prices would mean a resurgence in EV demand, but hybrids have proven to be the real benefactor of rising fuel costs,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. Brauer further noted that “Hybrids are selling faster, retaining more value, and growing their market share faster than electric vehicles, though Tesla’s EVs are also doing quite well”. Indeed, other Tesla models are also outpacing the competition, with the Cybertruck moving in 33.3 days and the Model Y finding buyers in 34.6 days.
A Value Play for Large Families
The primary driver behind this sudden surge in Model X popularity on the used market is likely a combination of heavy depreciation and a lack of alternatives. New Model X units are currently nearly sold out in U.S. inventory, despite Tesla hiking the prices of all remaining units by $15,000. For those lucky enough to snag an invite, the very last “Signature Edition” Plaid units of the Model S and Model X are being offered at a staggering $159,420 each.

For families who need room but don’t want to spend six figures, the used market offers an attractive value proposal. A lightly used Model X can be found for a fraction of its original sticker price while still offering the utility of a larger SUV, combined with Tesla’s software-first goodness and Full Self-Driving (Supervised). This demand is further fueled by the fact that Tesla has been slow to bring the six-seat Model Y L to North America, despite the long-wheelbase variant being spotted testing in the U.S. recently.
The End of an Era
Tesla is currently winding down Model S and Model X production with the final 350 Signature Edition units to make room for its next generation of products. The Model S and X Signature Edition delivery event scheduled for later this month will be the final chapter for these legendary models. While new car shoppers are increasingly looking toward hybrids, the used market shows that there is still a massive appetite for Tesla’s established technology — especially when the price is right.
As the Model X finishes its production run, it leaves the market not as a forgotten relic, but as the fastest-moving vehicle in its class. Whether shoppers are hunting for value or simply want one of the last “falcon-door” SUVs available, the data shows that used Teslas are currently in a league of their own.
