2021 TESLA MODEL Y

If you've been searching for a 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range for sale in Chowchilla, CA, your search ends here. Madera Auto Center has this stunning Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Long Range AWD priced at just $28,495 — an exceptional value for one of the most capable and technology-forward electric SUVs on the market today. With 68,466 miles and a clean history, this is the kind of pre-owned Tesla that rarely stays on the lot long.

About This 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range

The 2021 Model Y Long Range represents the sweet spot of Tesla's lineup — offering maximum range, dual-motor all-wheel drive, and a spacious SUV body that works equally well for daily commuting and longer road trips. At 68,466 miles, this vehicle is well within its stride. Tesla's electric drivetrain has no timing belt, no oil changes, no transmission fluid — the components that typically wear out on a gas-powered vehicle simply don't exist here. This is a mid-life Tesla, not a high-mileage gamble.

The Deep Blue Metallic finish looks striking in California sunlight, and the all-wheel drive configuration makes it a genuinely versatile choice for Central Valley drivers who encounter everything from Central Valley heat to Sierra Nevada-adjacent terrain.

2021 Tesla Model Y Performance and Engine

Dual Electric Motor AWD System

The Long Range trim pairs two electric motors — one at each axle — through a single-speed automatic transmission, delivering instant torque and all-weather traction. In real-world driving, this means confident acceleration from stoplights, seamless highway merging, and a smooth, quiet ride that combustion engine vehicles simply can't replicate.

The Long Range designation is significant. Tesla's 2021 Model Y Long Range is rated for up to 326 miles of range on a full charge — enough to handle the daily grind in the San Joaquin Valley and then some. Frequent Tesla Supercharger access along Highway 99 and beyond makes longer trips genuinely stress-free.

Tesla Model Y Features and Interior

Technology and Comfort in the Long Range Trim

Step inside and you're greeted by Tesla's minimalist yet highly functional cabin. The centerpiece is the 15-inch touchscreen display that controls virtually every vehicle function — navigation, climate, media, and vehicle settings — all through an intuitive interface that receives over-the-air software updates automatically. Your car can literally get better features while it sits in your driveway overnight.

The Model Y's interior is spacious for a compact SUV, with seating for five adults and a panoramic glass roof that floods the cabin with light. Cargo space is generous, with a rear hatch area and a front trunk — or "frunk" — giving you more storage than most buyers expect. Standard features in the Long Range include Tesla Autopilot, premium audio, heated front and rear seats, wireless phone charging, and keyless entry and drive via the Tesla app or card key.

Tesla Model Y Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Industry Experts Say

The Model Y has quickly become one of the best-selling vehicles in the world — not by accident. Owners consistently praise the low cost of ownership once you factor out gasoline and routine maintenance expenses. No oil changes, no spark plugs, no exhaust system — the list of things that won't break is long.

The 2021 model year benefited from Tesla's manufacturing refinements after early Model Y production runs, and Long Range AWD owners report strong battery retention even at higher mileage. Tesla's battery and drive unit warranty coverage on this vehicle extended to 8 years or 150,000 miles for the Long Range — giving added peace of mind on the powertrain that matters most. At 68,466 miles, this vehicle has significant warranty life remaining on those core components, making it a particularly smart used buy.
