How much below its undamaged value did this TESLA MODEL 3 sell for?

The insurer put this 2021 TESLA MODEL 3's pre-damage retail value at $26,365. It sold for $3,100 — 88% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.

What does a salvage title mean for this TESLA MODEL 3?

This 2021 TESLA MODEL 3 was sold on a salvage title. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 TESLA MODEL 3. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Is 44,677 miles high for a 2021 TESLA MODEL 3?

Comparable 2021 TESLA MODEL 3 listings at auction averaged 65,215 miles across 4011 sales, so at 44,677 miles this one sits 31% below that. At salvage auctions mileage moves the price far less than damage does — a low-mileage car with structural damage will still sell under a higher-mileage clean one.
