Tesla designs its vehicles in California, builds them in California and Texas, and has invested billions in American manufacturing jobs across Nevada, New York, and beyond. It is an American company that changed what American vehicles are capable of — proving that an electric car built here could outperform, out-innovate, and outlast the global competition. When you are ready to move on from your Tesla, donating it to Vehicles For Veterans keeps that American story going — putting its remaining value to work for the veterans who served the country that made Tesla possible.

Tesla donors tend to upgrade — a Model 3 gives way to a Model Y, or a Model S gives way to something newer. Whatever your reason for moving on, the donation process through Vehicles For Veterans is as clean and efficient as the vehicle you are donating. Here is exactly how the process works — straightforward, no surprises. Car Donation Foundation d/b/a Vehicles For Veterans has donated over $196 million to American veterans charities since 2010, and every Tesla that comes through the program puts its auction value directly toward the veterans charity programs that serve the men and women who served this country. Learn how your donation directly supports American veterans and their families.
We accept most Tesla vehicles in most conditions on a case-by-case basis.
The Model S redefined what a performance sedan could be — its combination of extraordinary range, over-the-air software updates, and available Plaid powertrain that produces over 1,000 horsepower made it one of the most technically significant vehicles ever produced on American soil. Clean Model S examples attract EV buyers who specifically want Tesla's flagship sedan experience, and Plaid variants generate serious buyer interest from performance-focused buyers who understand exactly what that powertrain represents. The Model X brought those credentials to a family SUV with its distinctive falcon wing doors — a vehicle that remains unlike anything else on the road and attracts buyers who prize its combination of practicality and spectacle.
The Model 3 and Model Y are the vehicles that brought Tesla's technology to the broadest possible American audience — and they are among the most in-demand used EVs at auction as a result. Model 3 Performance and Model Y Performance variants attract buyers who want the full Tesla driving experience at a practical price point. Long Range variants draw efficiency-focused buyers who specifically pursued Tesla's range credentials. The sheer volume of Model 3 and Model Y examples in the donor pool means a consistent and motivated buyer base that generates reliable auction results.
The Cybertruck is one of the most polarizing and recognizable vehicles ever to come out of an American factory — its stainless steel exoskeleton and angular design drew reactions that no other truck has ever generated. Early Foundation Series examples attract buyers who wanted to be first and paid accordingly. The original Tesla Roadster — built on a Lotus Elise chassis and produced in limited numbers from 2008 to 2012 — is a genuine piece of American EV history and attracts collector buyers who understand its significance as the vehicle that proved Tesla's concept to the world.

Of the 19.6 million veterans in the United States, many rely on the programs your donation helps fund — housing assistance for veterans in transition, mental health care for those carrying the invisible wounds of service, adaptive equipment that restores independence, and service dogs that change lives.
Tesla proved that American ingenuity and American manufacturing can change the world. Your donation puts that legacy to work for the veterans who made it possible to build anything here in the first place.
