Tesla Option Credit is Back: Score $1-2K Off Before March 31st!
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! Welcome back to the blog. If you're in the market for a new Tesla, I've got some game-changing news: the Tesla Option Credit is back, and you could save $1,000 to $2,000 on your brand-new ride. This is a limited-time workaround to help Tesla hit their end-of-quarter delivery goals by March 31st. I'll break it down step-by-step so you can make it happen.
How the Tesla Option Credit Works
Tesla wants as many deliveries as possible by the end of Q1 (March 31st) to boost their numbers. If your order is pending or slipping into April, here's the play:
- Message your Tesla sales rep (or visit a store for a test drive).
- Ask about inventory vehicles that match your prefs but with different options (e.g., switch from black/white interior to black/black, or grab Quicksilver paint/20" wheels).
- They can waive $1-2K in option costs to get you delivered ASAP.
Real example: Shoutout to Karan, who snagged a $2,500 incentive—including $2K off Quicksilver paint—on a Model Y.
Pro tips:
- Be flexible with colors/options.
- No order yet? Start one and inquire.
- Already scheduled soon (e.g., next week)? You might be locked in, but check for earlier swaps if it's late March.

Quick Tesla Roadster Update
Elon Musk just pushed back the new Roadster unveil to late April (I'm betting on 4/20—classic Elon!). Fun fact: Original Roadster deliveries started in 2008 with:
- Base price: $98K ($148K in today's dollars)
- 0-60 in 3.9s, 245 mi range, 125 mph top speed
These classics hold value like crazy. Can't wait for the new one!
Tesla Ditches V3 Superchargers for V4
Big infrastructure news: Tesla built their last V3 Supercharger cabinet (15K+ total). Now it's all V4 at up to 325kW (future-proofed for 500kW). V4s are cleaner, faster, and cheaper to deploy (~$40K/stall).
Pro tip: Protect your Tesla at Superchargers with EVJ (use code Dennis for 30% off). It safeguards your port and lets you drive away if needed.
EV Market Shakeup: Cancellations and Deals
- Volvo EX30 discontinued in the US after 2026 (despite 261 mi range, 3.4s 0-60, $40K start). Bigger EX60/EX90 live on.
- Honda Prologue: Up to $20K off—worth a look for a deal.
Lesson? Tesla dominates, but shop smart.
