A YouTuber bought the cheapest used Tesla Model S Plaid in the world.
It comes with FSD and it only has 4,900 miles on the clock.
When this car was new, it cost nearly three times what the YouTuber paid for it, so surely there’s got to be a catch.
The truth is there is one, but it’s a minor one.

The cheapest Tesla Model S Plaid
YouTuber Auto Auction Rebuilds bought the cheapest Model S Plaid in the world directly from Tesla.
This car can famously reach 62mph from 0 in less than two seconds, and it’s so fast it looks breathtaking while it’s doing it.
It can take on hypercars such as a Bugatti Divo, but it obviously costs a lot less than a Divo.
According to Auto Auction Rebuilds, this car cost around $130,000 when it was new, and that’s not including the extra $15,000 you need for FSD (Full Self-Driving).
It goes for about $65,000 in the pre-owned market.
But he only paid $59,000 for it, and that’s for a car with FSD, a yoke steering wheel and 19-inch wheels which give the car 50 more miles of range, all of which are optional extras.
And it only has 4,900 miles on it.
What’s the catch?
That sounds like a bargain so people automatically assumed there must be a catch, and they’re not wrong.
It’s a minor catch, though.
Auto Auction Rebuilds, aka Randy Lee Shear, says Tesla sold him the car with no keys.
Technically you don’t really need keys because you can unlock the car with an app and also with a key card thingy, which is the backup ‘key’.
But, even in 2024, it sort of feels odd if you don’t know have a physical key to unlock your car.
Still, Randy said Tesla is remaking the key for him, so that problem will be fixed as well.
