Sheryl Crow’s Tesla sold at auction in Indiana

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — A 2018 Tesla Model 3, which once belonged to singer Sheryl Crow, has been sold in Indiana.

Ray Wayne’s Auto Group from Russellville, Kentucky, purchased the Grammy-winning artist’s car for around $24,000.

In February, Crow sold the vehicle and donated the proceeds to NPR in protest of Elon Musk’s political affiliations.

As previously reported, the vehicle had been sitting in Evansville, Indiana at Wolfe’s Evansville Auto Auction.

“It was kind of politically known that [Crow] donated it and so on and so forth and wherever you stand, it’s not really a matter of that,” Tony Wolfe, owner of the auction space previously told Nexstar’s WEHT. “It’s an enthusiast situation of, ‘Hey, I may want to own a piece of history or rare piece of the car of whatever’ and whatnot. So, it’s really about just having fun and, you know, seeing what the car may bring.”

Ray Wayne’s Auto Group anticipates selling the car on its lot. WEHT was told the dealership did not know it belonged to Crow until the Tesla came down the lane.
