What does a Tesla sell for at Copart and IAAI?

It depends far more on the title brand and the severity of the damage than on the badge. The figures on this page are real final bids from completed Tesla auctions, so use their spread rather than a single sale.

Why does one Tesla lot sell for a few hundred dollars and the next for thousands?

Missing keys, water intrusion, a branded title and airbag deployment each take a chunk out of a final bid. Every lot lists those alongside its sold price, so the pattern is visible once you have read a handful of auction results.

Can I find the auction history of a specific Tesla by VIN?

Yes. Search the VIN or the Copart or IAAI lot number and you land on that car’s sale record — auction photos, final bid and every earlier auction of the same VIN. Every Tesla lot on this page links to its own record.
