Published on 28 March 2024 | 0 min read

Once in a while, a car will catch your eye in a way they don’t often do. It could be the colour, the build, the indescribable presence some cars just have. You’ll slow, you might stop… you’ll certainly glance back.
And you’ll think one of two things: “I wonder how much that cost?” and “imagine driving in one of those”. Us too. And today, we’re bringing both of those to life in the biggest way possible. We’re going to hide a Tesla Model Y somewhere in the UK on Thursday, 28th March 2024. If you find it, and submit a correct valuation with Auto Trader to find the price, you can keep it. That’s right – there’ll be a free car sat out there and it could be yours. Here’s how you can win a free pre-loved Tesla this month.

How Auto Trader’s Ultimate Car Hunt: LIVE works

On Thursday 28th March, we’ll park a Tesla Model Y somewhere in the UK.
At 12:00pm, we’ll start a livestream across Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. Tune into the livestream for your first clues as to where the car is parked. The livestream will only last for two hours, so make sure you’ve set a reminder. You’ll need to follow or subscribe to our channel for a chance to join the livestream and win. Full details are below. As the day goes on, we’ll tell you more about the car and where it’s hiding, and how you can get a free valuation. Make sure you have an account on Auto Trader as you'll need to be signed in to find out the Tesla's valuation. The first person to correctly guess where the car is, how much it’s worth using a free Auto Trader valuation and get to its hidden location, gets the keys. But what if you’re stuck in the office, or it’s at the other end of the country? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered too. We’re giving away over £5,000 worth of Amazon vouchers as spot prizes on the day for those who take part in the clues and challenges. This isn’t just a giveaway, it’s an immersive social experience that anyone can take part in. These spot prizes will be allocated at random, so you simply have to engage with the livestream on our channels for a chance to win. Spot prize vouchers range from £50 to a whopping £500 in value – you just have to be based in the UK for a chance to win.

Unlock the value of your ride – it's free and easy!

How much is your car really worth?
You can get one price from your local dealership and totally different one online, so which one is it? We set out to solve this problem with our Valuations tool.

They’re based on independent market data, ensuring accuracy based on the latest market movements. And we won’t charge you a penny for using it. It’s our way of helping you get the most out of your car – whether you’re buying, selling, or leasing it. We're not just about cars; we're about accuracy, accessibility, and speed. We want you to experience first-hand the power of our valuations tool. This isn’t your typical livestream – it's a social media event. Brace yourselves for interactive clues and challenges. We’re not just giving away a Tesla; we're making you work for it! So, mark your calendars, set your reminders, and tell your friends!
