Tesla Incentive Update: Best Deals and News for Q4 2024
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! If you're in the market for a new Tesla, you've come to the right place. In my latest video, I dove deep into the current incentives, inventory updates, and some exciting (and not-so-exciting) news from the EV world. Whether you're eyeing a Model 3, Model Y, Cybertruck, or something else, this blog post breaks it all down. Let's get into it!
Current Tesla Incentives: What You Need to Know
We're kicking off Q4 strong, and Tesla has rolled out some solid deals to keep the momentum going. This is especially relevant if you're placing a new order now—sorry if you missed the $7,500 federal tax credit from last quarter, but there might still be ways to snag it (DM me on Instagram or email for tips!). Here's the lay of the land for October 2024:
- $6,500 Lease Incentive: Available on Model 3, Model Y, and even Cybertruck! This is huge for high-income buyers who might have missed income limits before. Pro tip: If you're planning a lease buyout right away, you could still pocket around $5,000 after fees. Check out my previous video for the full how-to.
- $500 America's Heroes Discount: Down from $1,000, but still a win for military, teachers, first responders, and students.
- Financing Deals: 2.99% APR on Model 3 (up to 60 months) and 3.99% on Model Y. Cybertruck gets an even sweeter 2.49% APR.
- Other Perks: Free Full Self-Driving transfer, 1-month FSD trial, 1-month premium connectivity, free 20-inch wheel upgrades on Cybertruck leases, and the Lux Package on Model S, X, and Cybertruck (includes free Supercharging and more—stay tuned for a deep dive!).
Inventory is popping up everywhere, especially for Model Y after being sold out for weeks. If you're hunting for the new standard-range Model 3 or Y, they're hitting showrooms in places like Florida and Texas. Spot one? Send me a pic or location—let's check it out!

Cheapest Lease Deals on the Market
Not just Tesla—here are some killer leases from across the industry (courtesy of Car Dealership Guy):
- Toyota Corolla: $299/mo, $0 down.
- Hyundai Ioniq 5: $318/mo (EV alert!).
- BMW i4: $399/mo—cheaper than a Nissan Leaf at $489/mo!
Electric options are slim post-tax credit, but these are worth a look if you're comparing.

Model 3 Owners: No Front Bumper Camera Retrofit
Bad news for recent Model 3 Highland buyers: Tesla confirmed no retrofits for the new front bumper camera on 2024 models. It's a bummer, especially for those who picked up just days ago. Maybe DIY hacks will emerge, but officially? No dice. If it's a dealbreaker, consider trading up to a Model Y.
Lucid Gravity: Impressive, But Build Quality Issues?
The $100K Lucid Gravity is turning heads, but Edmunds called out "poor build quality"—think cheap controls, noisy seats, and unsealed gaskets. As a new model, teething issues are expected, but Tesla's tech edge still shines. The cheaper Touring version at $80K could be a game-changer. Have you driven one? Share your take!
New Tesla Feature: Banish Mode
Elon announced "Banish" mode: Your Tesla drops you off, parks itself, and returns on summon. Reverse summon for rainy days? Yes, please! With FSD v14 getting rave reviews, this could be epic.
Final Thoughts: Is Now the Time to Buy?
Q4 is historically Tesla's best quarter for deals—things might heat up post-earnings call. If you're stalling or jumping in, use a referral code (mine's in the description for up to $1,000 off!).
