If you're new to Tesla or eyeing a Model 3 or Model Y, you're probably wondering about the latest incentives and how to score the biggest discounts. Yesterday, we dove into option credits, but today let's break down all the current Tesla offers, the best financing and leasing deals, stackable discounts, and inventory steals. We'll focus on what's worth it and what to skip.
The best place to kick things off is Tesla's current offers page. Here's the rundown on what's hot and what's not:
If financing, you can't beat 0% or 0.99%. For leases on Model Y, hold off.
Don't sleep on America's Heroes discount: An extra $500 off for first responders, military (active duty, retirees), medical providers, nurses, students, and teachers. Super easy – just verify with ID.me. It stacks with a Tesla referral code for 3 months of Full Self-Driving (FSD). (Grab mine in the video description!)
Other offers like 2,000 miles of free Supercharging? Meh – worth maybe $100-200. Skip it and sell your gas guzzler instead. The $10,000 tax deduction? Not huge, especially with low-interest financing.
We're skipping Model S, X, and Cybertruck for now – those aren't moving the needle for most buyers.
Inventory is where the real savings hide. Check these out:
Pro Tip: Message your Tesla advisor – they can hunt down hidden gems. Or browse Tesla's site directly.
As we covered yesterday, option credits are a sales tool to close deals by quarter-end. Advisors can waive option costs (e.g., $2,000 Quicksilver paint on a black Model 3) to speed up delivery. No order? They might build one fast. Got an April slot? Push for this. Case-by-case, so chat with your advisor ASAP.
Before buying, maximize trade-in value. Plug crushes the competition – we've seen offers $3K-$6K higher than others. Get a quote in 15 minutes, sell in 2 days. Link in the description.
Your new Tesla comes with zero accessories – no phone mount, nothing! Stock up with Jowua (my go-tos):
More gems: Wireless game controller (fits glovebox), portable air compressor, even an electric scooter for Supercharger walks.
Use my promo code (description) for savings + free shipping over $120. I use this stuff daily – it supports the channel too. Thanks to Jowua for partnering!
Tesla's pulled out all the stops for Q1 end. These deals could shift tomorrow (it's Thursday as I record), but if you're ready, buy now. Waiting for summer? Maybe May-June brings more. What are you thinking – financing, leasing, or inventory hunt?
Drop your thoughts below, use that referral code, and let's chat. Drive safe!
