Buying a used Tesla Model Y in NZ
Tesla launched the Model Y in New Zealand in mid-2022, so even the oldest used examples are young cars. Most on the market are the rear-wheel-drive version on an LFP battery; the dual-motor Long Range is the one to stretch to for range. A 2025 facelift restyled the car and lifted the Long Range's rated range, and a six-seat Model Y L followed in 2026.
As with the Model 3, check whether a car is NZ-new or a Japanese import before you compare prices: it changes the warranty and the charge port. For every Tesla on the market by model, see the Tesla Index; for how it compares with other SUVs, electric SUVs in NZ, compared.
Which Model Y is which
| Version | Years | Battery | Rated range (WLTP) | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RWD | 2022 to 2024 | About 60 kWh, LFP | 455 km | The volume version. Heat pump standard, 170 kW peak charging. |
| Performance | 2022 on | Nickel | 514 km | Launched alongside the RWD in 2022. |
| Long Range AWD | 2023 to 2024 | About 78 kWh, nickel | 533 km | Dual motor, 250 kW peak charging. |
| Facelift RWD | 2025 on | About 60 kWh, LFP | 466 km | Restyled nose, tail and cabin. |
| Facelift Long Range AWD | 2025 on | About 79 kWh, nickel | 551 to 600 km | Rated range rose to 600 km from July 2025. |
| Model Y L | 2026 on | Long Range | 681 km | Six seats, AWD only. |
Tesla doesn't publish pack sizes; these are nominal figures from independent databases, which is why listings quote 60, 75, 78 or 82 kWh. An LFP pack is happy charged to 100% regularly; a nickel pack prefers a daily limit of around 80 to 90%.
What to check on a used Model Y
- NZ-new or a Japanese import. Ask before anything else. Tesla treats a car outside the market it was first sold in as a grey vehicle: it does not do warranty repairs on it in NZ, and connectivity, app features and over-the-air updates are not guaranteed. Japan-market cars also have Tesla's own charge port rather than the CCS2 port NZ-new cars use; specialists here convert them, but Supercharger access after a conversion is at Tesla's discretion.
- Which warranty it still has. The battery and drive unit are covered for 8 years from first delivery: 160,000 km on the RWD, 192,000 km on the Long Range and Performance, with at least 70% capacity retained, and it transfers free to the next owner. The basic warranty was 4 years or 80,000 km on cars delivered before 2026, so a 2022 or 2023 car may be near the end of it.
- RWD or Long Range. Listing titles aren't always right, and the two are priced very differently. The touchscreen's Software page names the version; a Long Range has a motor at each end and a higher rated range.
- Glass. Stone chips in the windscreen and the glass roof are excluded from Tesla's warranty, so look closely and price any damage in.
- Towing. The five-seat Model Y is rated to tow up to 1,600 kg braked when properly equipped. The six-seat Model Y L has a different rating, so check the exact car's manual, towbar and loaded-trailer limits before buying; see towing with an EV.
Common questions
How much is a used Tesla Model Y in NZ?
Right now 7 Tesla Model Ys are listed on Electric Dreams, asking $37,990 to $52,880, with a median of $49,880. The table above breaks that down by model year.
Is there a seven-seat Tesla Model Y in NZ?
No. NZ Model Ys are five-seaters; the six-seat Model Y L went on sale here in 2026. For seven seats, see the large SUVs in electric SUVs in NZ, compared.
Does a used Model Y have a heat pump?
Yes: every Model Y has one, which helps winter range.
Can a used Model Y use Tesla Superchargers?
An NZ-new one can, paying per kWh through the Tesla app. A Japanese import has Tesla's own port; once converted to CCS2 it can use other fast chargers, but Tesla decides whether it can Supercharge.
Model Y or Model 3?
The Model Y has the hatchback, the higher seat, the bigger boot and the 1,600 kg tow rating; the Model 3 is the cheaper way into a used Tesla on the same batteries.
